AW16 Trend Week Day 5: Midnight Sparkle



Happy Friday!



We have made it to day 5 of Trend Week and its party time!!


I think this may be the most exciting trend as like every year its time to get our glad rags on and hit the town!!

There's no boundaries when it comes to Midnight Sparkle. Think embellishments, sequins, metallics, glitters the lot! You can never be overdressed when it comes to this trend.

Its time to sparkle and shine!




I myself am a bit fan of the metallic trend this season and my favourite metallic picks from my wardrobe are these new silver metallic sock boots from +boohoo.com. These boots are so on trend and are everywhere right now. The sock boot is having its moment thanks to Kanye West and his 'Yeezy' collection.

But if your like me and don't fancy splashing on the $895 on a pair of yeezy's which I think is ridiculous anyways, then check out these badboys!





These boots are actually more versatile than you may think! I love them as they jazz up any outfit and they add a super rock chic vibe to any look!

For a day time look, Team a metallic boot with a pair of skinny jeans and a band tee or go for a pair of culottes and tee with a bomber jacket!

For a sassy night time look, style these boots with a jumpsuit or mini dress and a leather jacket to give it a punk rock edge!




These boots don't break the bank either, These are from Boohoo and they cost £28 which I think is amazing as there are so many other styles on the market that cost substantially more. I have attached a link to these boots below if you want to have a wee look!

If like me, your a big fan of this trend then I would love if you could get in touch and share your love of metallics!

AW16 Trend Week Day 4: Velvet




Hello Beautiful People!


Velvet is everywhere right now!
If you haven't noticed already, where have you been hiding?

The Velvet trend is extremely popular and is all over this years catwalks, online and on the high street. I love this trend as I am a massive fan in incorporating texture into your wardrobe as I think it gives an element of interest and it also keeps you nice and cosy!





Velvet is great for daytime and also perfect for those Christmas nights out! 
For day, A velvet blazer looks great teamed up with a tee and jeans and boots and for night time go dramatic with a velvet jumpsuit or a dress and heels!

There is such a versatile range of velvet pieces to choose from right now and is great for everyone to wear no matter what your style may be!

I have gone for a Christmas party look that everyone can wear! A waterfall jacket is a great piece to add velvet into your wardrobe and it can be worn all year round! This jacket is from Primark and I have had this for years! It was super affordable and I really love this blush pink shade, I also think a black velvet jacket would also look fab with this outfit and would be great to wear for a night out on the town!

AW16 Trend Week Day 3 : Purple Reign





Hello Everyone!




Just because its coming up to winter, It doesn't mean that we wear head to toe black all season!

Its Day 2 of Trend week and Purple is reigning over the high streets this AW16. From brights to burgundy, pastels to print, you really cant resist the power of purple!



Purple is a universal all round shade that suits everyone, But finding the right shade is very important. I personally love a bit of print and here I have styled my favourite purple pieces! Its so easy to inject a bit of colour into your wardrobe by also adding accessories! A purple pair of shades or a nice bag or a statement pair of shoes can transform any outfit!


Style Tip 

Be Confident!
Go for the perfect purple to flatter you and don't be afraid to experiment when it comes to bold prints! They aren't really as scary as you may think. Try out different shades in store and be open minded! 



Fancy get your hands on some purple power?

Check out the shopping guide below, including my favourite pieces online and on the high street that you can get your hands on now!

I would love to see how you wear the power of purple via

AW16 Trend Week Day 2: Heritage



Hello Lovely!


I hope you are all having a great day so far. Its Day 2 of trend week and I'm here with another trend for you all that is set to be stacking the shelves this season. Today its all about... 

'HERITAGE'

What's Heritage you say?

Now this may not be a trend for everyone, but It certainly screams winter! Think Kate Middleton chic! From tweeds and checks, dogtooth and tartan, Its time to get cosy this autumn/winter!



So where do we begin?


When looking for the perfect heritage piece, Think statement. A statement bag or scarf, jacket, trousers etc. Heritage pieces don't have to consist of a tweed jackets and jodhpurs....not all the time. So many brands and retailers are now releasing so many fab versatile pieces that anyone wear, whatever the budget!
(as styled below)

This style is totally timeless and it is a good idea to invest in a statement piece as it will never go out of fashion and you can wear this style year in, year out. In the picture below, I have opted for a monochrome jacket but I also love check pieces, with hues of warm reds and oranges, it's so autumnal and perfect for this season. I think this jacket would also look great teamed with a roll neck jumper, a pair of jeans and boots for a chic winter look!

Style Tip


Checks and tartans work well with pretty much any neutral shade. Find the right print for youand don't be afraid to experiment when it comes to clashing prints.



Fancy wearing a wee bit of 'Heritage'?


As always, I have attached a shopping guide to my favourite picks from the high street and online for you to get inspired by...

AW16 Trend Week: Animal Print




Hello Everyone!



This week I am going to be sharing the latest trends hitting our high street this season!

To begin this weeks posts, I thought it would be good to showcase the hottest and most popular trend this AW2016.

Yes you guessed it...or to be honest, you probably just read the title of this post....

It's all about ANIMAL PRINT! 

It's everywhere and its time to embrace our inner Scary Spice or Pat Butcher. Whatever floats your boat.... I don't judge!

Animal print has been around forever, but its back with a vengeance and there's no shying away from it. From leopard tees to snuggly winter coats, bags to bold heels, there is something for everyone!



Now if wearing this print, gives you the heebie jeebies... I'm not even sure if that's even a word in the dictionary, but well you know what I mean...if it gives you the creeps then have no fear! Leopard print doesn't have to be in your face or worn head to toe.
(as styled below)

This look is perfect to wear as a casual look during the day or also for a social night with friends. This shirt would also look super cool teamed up with some bright bottoms if your feeling brave!  

Styling Tip


Animal print doesn't always have to be leopard print. If it's not up your street then take a look at some other styles such as snake prints, croc prints and zebra prints....the worlds your oyster.

But lets keep it faux people!



Fancy getting in on the trend?


I wouldn't leave you all without a trend shopping guide of course!!!

I have picked a few of my favourite leopard print pieces which are available on the high street to buy right now! And all links and prices are included below.
 Because its good to help one another out!

I would love to see how you style your leopard print looks!

Time To Start Tanning!





Hello Everyone!



Its Thursday night which means one thing....it's time to get tanning!!! As a Scottish woman, I am very pale, I like to refer to myself as a milk bottle and I am partial to a bit of fake tan!

Over the years I have been a victim to streaky tan and tanning disasters but with patience and practice, you can achieve a beautiful glowing tan from home. 

There are so many tanning products on the market now to choose from and personally I believe it is a much better option to fake it instead of bake. It's all about finding the perfect product for you and feeling confident when applying fake tan and it is possible to achieve glowing skin no matter the budget.

Personally, I would typically use a mousse based fake tan or I will use a gradual cream based tan over the course of a few days for a light glow. However, Over the past few months, I have been on the hunt for new and innovative tanning products to try out!



Crazy Angel is a professional tanning collection, made in the UK which is distributed throughout salons. The lovely team at professional beauty systems kindly sent me out a couple of their brand new Christmas gift sets to review.

These gift sets include the Desire Kit which contains:
Bronze Desire Airbrush Tan
Halo Polish Body Scrub

And also the Goddess Kit which includes:
Guilded Goddess Self-Tan Oil
Supreme Goddess Tan Extender


Halo Polish Body Scrub

250ml


When applying any tanning products, It is important that we fully prep our skin. Using an exfoliator helps to get rid of any dry skin cells and keep skin clean and fresh for application. This product works well on areas that are particularly dry including knees, feet and elbows. This body scrub is super soft and is infused with Bearberry and Sesame to keep our skin feeling luscious. Apply onto the skin and gently massage into dry or damp skin in a circular motion for beautiful looking skin.      
  

Bronze Desire Instant Airbrush Self Tan

200ml

To all you spray tan fans, why not try an airbursh tan at home! I can hands down say that I have had a good few disasters when going to the salon for a spray tan and most of the time I come out looking...well lets say a lot more bronzed than I wanted to! With this self tan, you are in control and are able to achieve a golden glow at home without standing in those glamorous paper knickers in the salon.



Guilded Goddess Self-Tan Dry Oil

100ml


This again is a unique product and this would be great for those who suffer from dry skin. I have never used a self tan oil before but I was pleasantly surprised! It is easy to apply and helps to create a smooth streak free tan and absorbs into the skin quickly. After application, I didn't feel like my skin was feeling super oily or greasy and didn't slide of the skin. In the bottle, It does seem to contain a little shimmer however when applied, it isn't noticeable and wont leave you looking like an orange glitter ball. This self tanning oil develops after 4-6 hours and leaves you with a light natural tan.  


Supreme Goddess Tan Extender

250ml

After application, it is important that we take care of our skin and do our best to prolong our tan. This tan extender works well to help us keep our gorgeous self golden tans for longer. Apply this cream everyday and this helps by adding moisture to the body with ingredients such as Shea Butter and Bearberry and also contains a natural tanning agent to help with the longevity of the tan. Say goodbye to patchy faded tan! Because we want nothing more than getting the most out of the tan we have.


Bronzie Body Tanning Mitt



So now we have our tan, what do we apply our tan with?

Again, I have used many different application tools over the years.... tanning gloves, disposable gloves, cheap mitts, expensive mitts and back in the college days, I once used a carrier bag in a desperate panic to get tan on...yes I know its ridiculous, don't judge me! haha

But thankfully, since then, I have discovered Bronzie. This product is incredible and I admit I am obsessed.



The Bronzie 'Got Your Back' Tanning Mitt is something that we all need. It's so simple but so amazingly effective!

Think of it as an oven glove for your tan! Not only does it include double mitts to tan your body; which may I add will not leak onto the palms of your hand as It contains a protective film inside each mitt.  It also contains a strip to help tan your back.....yes you read this correctly..no more asking a friend or your partner to help you out or struggling to reach those tough spots. This mitt will do it all for you!


It is made from velour which feels totally luxurious and feels like a pamper session in itself. This product can also be used on all types of tanning products including ' gels, mousses, creams and sprays'

I can honestly say that this is a total game changer when it comes to applying your tan and you will notice a difference. Trust me you wont ever look back!
(pardon the pun)


I would love to know what some of your favourite tanning brands and products are right now!

Let me know in the comments below!
