My Autumn/Winter Fashion picks...

I'm really desperate to do some outfit of the days soon but I just need to find the time but I definitely will. For the mean time though, I thought I would share my fashion picks for this autumn and winter coming up and what I'm going to wearing these coming weeks going as the weather gets colder.

(left to right) Top: Superga White shoes, Topshop Black Dotty Pinafore, H&M jacket
Middle: Topshop Fur Lined Denim Jacket
Bottom: Asos Cream Beanie, H&M Combat boots, Brandy Melville Jada dress
I am absolutely loving the monochrome trend this season, it can look very classy but casual making you look put together and as if you put lots of effort into your outfit. I never used to wear loads of black but just recently I've been loving it. I've also been really enjoying pairing dress and skirts with tights so its easy to still keep an outfit casual and cute and tights are a great transition piece to bring in any summer dresses and turn them more fall appropriate. 

It's not quite cold enough for beanies yet but I can't wait to wear them. They can cover up any bad hair day in an instant and no one has too know. They work well with jackets and cardigans and are a great accessory for winter. Along with hats, jackets are essential. Its not cold enough for full on coats yet but jackets are perfect for throwing over outfits and keeping you warm without having to layer too much.

Another bang on trend this fall is leather. I love leather boots and leather jackets and they can really add an edge to an outfit whilst dressing down any dresses with tights. Its all about effortless style during this time of year especially whilst at school and having to wake up in the cold.

Fall Tag '13...

Autumn or others may know it as Fall is my favourite time of the year. Its still not freezing but its cold enough to wear knitted jumpers and start layering. The only thing that sucks... is the rain...especially here in England, Frizzy hair and always having to plan outfits around the rain is not my favourite thing to be doing but I do love the idea that winter's just round the corner.

1. Favorite Fall lip product and Favorite Fall nail product? 
My favourite lip product would have to be Maybeline Baby Lips. They are super moisturising especially as its starting to get colder and give a lovely healthy tint to your lips. 
My favourite nail product would have to be Barry M - Red Wine. Its the most gorgeous red colour and prefect for this time of year. I think I'm going to be constantly wearing it!

2. Favorite Fall Activity? 
Probably either just snuggling inside, watching movies and drinking hot chocolate or going out and taking photographs (that is if its not raining) whilst walking round pretty areas.

3. Favorite Starbucks Fall Drink? 
I'm not a massive coffee drinker at all but I do love the Creme Brûlée latte when that comes into season, if not a hot chocolate with whipped cream is my favourite.

4. Favorite Fall Scent? 

Taylor Swift - Wonderstruck. Its a tiny bit heavier than my other summer perfumes and I all round just love the smell during Fall time.
5. Favorite Fall Scarf or accessory? 
My Maroon Bobble hat from Topshop. It hides bad hair days whilst still looking cute. I absolutely love hats during this time of the year. Also my black pork pie hat from Topshop is favourite!

6. Haunted house, haunted hay ride, or haunted corn maze?
 
We don't really have any of these here but I do love going to fright nights at local theme parks which are similar to haunted houses. 
7. Favourite Fall Clothing Items? 
Boots! I also love plaid shirts, duffle coats, oversized jumpers/cardigans and leggings are an essential. I love layering clothing but sticking within all the neutral tones.

8. Favorite candy to eat on Halloween? 
Defenitely chocolate buttons!

9. Fall TV show premiere you’re looking forward to most?
Vampire Diaries, I'm so excited for the next season! Also Awkward as I've recently just discovered this show.
10. What is your Favourite thing about Fall? 
Crunchy leaves. Warm drinks. The Fashion!!

Ombre Hair...

First time getting Ombre - Summer '12















                                               I'm always asked about how I got my hair done so I thought I would talk about my Ombre. I've had my Ombre done now for just over a year, going on a year and a half. I always loved the whole ombre look on people such as Lauren Conrad and Zoella and I had never had anything done to my hair so it was a big decision for me but once I had my mind set on getting it done, I wasn't going back. I first got it done the summer of '12 the day of my year 11 prom (yes the day how scary). I loved how not many people really knew about this 'trend' at the time and even my hairdresser had never done it before. I got mine done at a salon and I don't regret it in the slightest as I wasn't going to risk it doing myself, it also allowed me to get my hair styled as well. It was perfect for the summer and it considerably turned a lot more natural the longer I had it and the more I washed it to remove the bronze tones.

Since then I've had it redone once as my hair did grow considerably and wasn't as drastic because of the length of my hair. I got it done this easter just before summer, almost as a top up to what I already had. I'm definitely going to keep the Ombre look for a while longer as I do really love it! I really feel like it adds something to my brown curly hair and because of the length it allows me to have a good big section blonde instead of just the ends.
It has become a lot more popular and I love how it's still a big trend. I do love Ombre hair.

Second time getting Ombre - Easter '13
