Finally! Finally my ASOS order came and I finally have in my possession a real leather biker jacket and a brilliant pair of leather ankle boots. Best £130 I've ever spent and I know I'll get a lot of wear out of them both!
I'm literally over the moon. The delivery came just as I got back from work this morning and I don't think my mum has ever seen me bolt it down the stair as quick as I did when I heard the knock. For £100, the jacket isn't the thickest leather around but it's well lined and I love the extra quilted detailing around the shoulders. I got it in a size up so that I could have room for a hoodie or jumper underneath and, unlike a lot of leather jackets I had been trying on, the arms weren't ridiculously tight and I've got plenty of wiggle room.

Now I want it to be winter so I can start wearing them with lots of wooly jumpers and scarves!

Lipstick Of The Moment- MAC Fanfare Lipstick

I have absolutely been loving this lipstick ever since I got it and have been wearing it ever since. When I first saw it, I thought it would be similar to Chatterbox but as you can see compared, Chatterbox is much more blue toned and more vibrant (it is a Amplified finish whereas Fanfare is Cremesheen) It's much more muted and is perfect for everyday wear- a you lips but better kinda of shade!

Anyway, I just wanted to share my love for this lipstick at the moment.
I've been working through my lipstick collection, getting rid of shades I don't like anymore... So I can make space for some new ones... :P

A/W 12 Jackets




I can't make up my mind! I always said to myself that at the end of working the whole summer, that I would buy myself a leather jacket as a treat to myself and as a wardrobe essential in the long term. But with all the new season items flooding into the shops, I couldn't help but notice all the gorgeous new jackets around me including a divine Zara blazer with studs on the shoulders and River Island one which just looks super comfy but unfortunately the picture doesn't do its texture much justice.

Oh toooo many things I want! Isn't this always the case aha?

Lately 005. Special Edition.


 

As I said in the post before, my boyfriend came down to visit for just under a week and these are a collection of photos we took. I should have taken more really but we were too busy enjoying ourselves. We went to a boating lake and around a town in the countryside, plenty of pub lunches, a trip to the Sea Life Centre and some amazing Thai food.
And eventually looking very tired after a busy week

Product Review- Garnier Nutrisse Nourishing Foam


Garnier Nutrisse Nourishing Foam Hairdye

New hair. I decided on a whim to dye my hair black. I had done it before and fancied a change so when I saw Garnier Nutrissed on offer- around £4- in Boots, I though why not. I know that it might not look that much difference in photo, but in real life there is a subtle difference which I like. It takes the reddy brwon undertone out of my hair.

I usually tend to go for the cheap hairdyes- in the past I've used Superdrug own brand and Schwarzkopf Live so this is the first Garnier one I had used. I'm always wearing of the strength of the chemicals in hair dye because I have thin hair and they always upset my curls for a day or two. It does come however with the obligatory conditioner. Overall, I did like it. My eyes are really sensitive to ammonia (along with onions and strong wind..) and this one didn't set me off. As I washed it out of my hair, my mum also commented that it smelt really fruity, which is always a plus.

Anyway just a little post
Have any of you used this hair dye?
