Autumnal

Hello Lovelies,

To say this week has been hectic would be an understatement. I have been packing like a mad woman and running around making sure I have said goodbye to everyone before I leave for Uni. Its also my second year so Ive been stressing about the fact it actually counts! :P We have also had several problems with plumbing, electrics etc in our new accommodation. Phew! 

Other than all of this, I am now happily settled in. My Uni room is a lovely size and FULL of my stuff. It literally looks like I have lived here forever :) I will post pictures of how I have decorated it soon if you are interested ?

Before I left, I was in the park with my best friend, so took the opportunity to get her to to take some outfit pictures for me.

I thought this was a perfect Autumnal look as it is definitely getting a lot chillier in England already.

Dress from Dunnes Stores

Boots from Dune they are very old and have served me well :)

Belt from H&M

Bag from NEXT, should I do a whats in my bag video?

Jewellery and watch are River Island

And a ridiculous one where I was caught mid dance to finish off...

I genuinely look like a Chipmunk!

I hope you are all having a lovely day.

Posts may be a little irregular now I'm back at Uni, just until I settle into the new routine.

Thank you for sticking with me, I have lots of lovely things planned for you over the next few weeks, so Ill see you then!

Much Love

Lou

No Glitter Here!

Hello Lovelies,

Just a quick post to show you my New Years Eve make up. Those who follow me on twitter may have already seen a glimpse of this, but for those who haven't, here it is :)

I have no idea why, but as I let my imagination do it's stuff, I seem to have ended up with a very 60's inspired look. Think twiggy lashes and pale lips. Not an ounce of glitter in sight. I really loved how it turned out though!

FOTD Mediterranean Neutrals?

Hello  Lovelies,

I was experimenting with my Sleek Mediterranean Palette last night trying to work out a way I could take the colours into Autumn. Many of the colours in the palette are very bright and summery however, I have found a lovely combination that creates a beautiful neutral autumnal eye.

Here is the pallette:

The colours I used were, Bamboo, Sand Walker and Moors Treasure.

Here is the end result. Im really into burgundy and rusty colours at the moment, so this matches my current outfit choices perfectly. (Obviously not wearing either of those colours in this photo though...)

Products

Face

Shadows from Sleek Pallette above:

Sand Walker(all over lid)

Moors Treasure (outer third and crease)

Nothing because they're all chapped and broken :(

What colours do you like for Autumn?

Lots of Love

FOTD

Hello Lovelies,

Long time no blog post...

It's been weeks since I last did a post and for that I apologise. I'm committing one of my own pet peeves of inconsistency. I've been so busy since finishing college catching up with friends and  quite frankly reclaiming my social life. I just haven't been in the house long enough to blog! Anyway, inspiration has struck me once again and I have lots of lovely posts lined up. Thank you for sticking with me!

First up, a FOTD.

Today I've just been relaxing around the house and unpacking after my trip to Wales to visit my boyfriends Grandma in Colwyn Bay. It's been a lovely week, but it was so jam packed I barely had time to apply makeup in the morning.

This has left me feeling a big makeup sized hole in my morning routine, which I amply filled by piling the slap on today!!

Apologies for the dodgy pose :P Not so comfortable in front of the camera yet, and no, I have not done my hair today :)

First OOTD and FOTD :)

Hello my lovelies :D

Boy have I missed this!!
I feel like Ive been gone years although its only a few weeks :(.

So as some of you know my beloved camera decided to pass away, it was very old and i was in need of a new one for Christmas. However, it would have been nice if lovely Mr Camera was able to last until I received a beautiful new model. Alas!! This did not happen, so after a fair few weeks of blog writing urges I have decided to attempt some rather bad quality (in other words 'quirky' :) pictures with my webcam.

Blog posts will dramatically increase in quantity after Christmas. I promise!!

Thank you for sticking with me, here is the simple outfit I wore today along with a quick FOTD...
