How To Style - Polo Neck Tops

Hey fashion lovers.  As I was in London yesterday, I picked up a few bits for Autumn/Winter. One of the items is a white polo neck crop top from Topshop as these are on trend, I thought I could show you guys how I would style them as wearing crop tops is sometimes hard to style and hard to wear unless its the summer of course! Let me apologise firstly about the absolutely awful lighting, I had to take these photos really early this morning and if you live in England, you will know just how dark and miserable the mornings are in winter, so I'm sorry for that. Also the quality of these photos is not very good at all - I had 15 minutes to do this, this morning and my Iphone hadn't woken up by then obviously! Anyway, enjoy..

1) This outfit is perfect for the smarter occasions e.g. looking round a college, or maybe even an interview if you paired it with a suit blazer (depending on where you were having your interview of course). Jeans - AA 'Easy Jean'  Polo crop top - Topshop  Heels - Newlook. Yes this outfit is actually so simple but it looks so chic. If you are wanting to style a crop top especially one like this, I'd go for something high waisted  on your bottom half as if you were to wear normal jeans, it may show too much tummy! But remember, this is how I would style them, you may think different!

 2) This casual winter outfit is perfect for one of those days where you haven't got much time, you've got to be out the door within 30 minutes of you getting up, c'mon guys, everyone has one of those days as least once week right? This is fantastic for winter! Top - Polo neck crop top   Jeans - AA 'easy jean'   Jumper - UO  Boots - Topshop

3) The last outfit, is definitely the perfect street style most girls want! It's simple layering but an extra edge is added with the studs! And who doesn't love studs? This outfit, as I have layered a few pieces is perfect for those winter days in the city! Jeans - AA 'easy jean'    Top - Crop Polo Neck - Topshop
Shirt - Monki  Jacket - ASOS  Boots - Topshop

Once again guys, I'm really sorry about the quality of pictures in this post, but my camera is on it's way back to me so the next post, the pictures will be better!

Thank you!

What's in my makeup bag?

Hey guys, so, for a change, I decided to do a make up post just to switch it up a little and try something different!

This is the makeup I use on a daily basis so if I were going on a night out/party, I would change it up a little and maybe take a brighter lipstick and eye shadow, but for my everyday makeup, these products are what I would need.

So here goes..

Ok, so firstly, my makeup bag was actually a gift from my best friend, its from River Island and I love it!

This seems to fit everything I need into it except brushes.

This is what is inside guys!

Where to start?!?! No, to be truthful I don't wear all of this at one time, I swap and change my lip products and cheek products. 

• MAC lipstick (kinda sexy) - this is perfect as it is a nice shade of peachy nude (on my lips anyway) and it is very flattering!
• Maybelline Mater Precise eye liner - this is my new favourite eye product, it is so easy to use!
• MAC blush in Gingerly and Trace Gold - these two products I switch up depending on my mood! But as you can see they are both browny tones or peachy tones! 
• MAC MSF in Medium Deep, I use this as a bronzer as I bought in a lot darker than my skintone, it is perfect to give you a sun kissed look!
• Smashbox Primer - this is a nice product but isn't anything special, but keeps my oily skin under control. 
• Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua (B30) - this is amazing and the fact it is water based is even better! It hasn't ever broken me out! 
• Collection 2000 Concealer - this is an amazing product, it is definitely better than some of the high end concealers I have tried!
• Lip Cream Puff Collection 2000 - this is just a good product if you want to add a pop off matte colour to your lips!
• Rimmel Eye Brow Pencil - I don't like using pencils usually but incase I am in a rush, this is an essential to have in my make up bag!
• Dreamlash Mascara - I love this mascara as it focuses of extending the lashes without adding too much volume, it is so good and lasts all day, I am not sure where you guys can get this from as I got it as a gift.  

 Guys, I have recently been loving Ideal Magazine, it is an online magazine based in London, it is a perfect read if you're into everything like fashion, beauty and more! The team from this magazine are so lovely and they really do an amazing job so go and check the magazine out at http://www.idealmagazine.co.uk/ ! (this is my choice to mention the magazine, I haven't been asked to advertise their magazine, I just think it's an amazing online magazine that you guys may enjoy reading!)

Thank you,

'Must have' shoes for autumn/winter!

Ok guys. This is my first 'shoe-fashion' post so bare with me on this one. But these are just a few pairs of footwear that are very autumn/winter style.
1) Beige/dark beige Chelsea Boots from Topshop. I bought these in Februrary to add to my winter wardrobe and I just think they are key to your shoe collection. They are so versatile and look so classy with any outfit. They are also very comfortable, but are I think a bit of an investment as they were around the £60 mark but if you want quality boots then Topshop is the place to be!
2) 'Robin hood style' black ankle boots. These boots are also from Topshop, a lot of my friends said they look like a Robin hood style shoe as they are lace up and quite fitted around the ankle. They were about £30 I think, (don't quote me on it) and they are so staple for winter because they are so comfortable and they are suede so they look more expensive than they actually are. They can be styled with any outfit, and because they're black, anything goes!
3) Studded flats. Ok so these just made it into this post because of the style, not the colour. If you were to wear studded flats in the winter, I'd go for a black shoe, however, they are on my list to buy from Topshop so these White ones will have to do for now! Despite them being White, focus on the studs, they spice up any boring outfit and just give your look a bit of an edge. These were also from Topshop (you can tell I'm an addict right?) and they were about £20 or something like that! They are easy to style and are very comfy too!

Thanks guys for reading, I'm in London for the next few days so watch out for some fashion OOTD's and another haul (whoops, poor debit card).
