#ootd - Style Post

Hellooo...

I know it's been an awfully long time since I've done a blog post... Well like a few weeks but you get my drift...

So I'm back with an Outfit Of The Day post for you guys!

It was my little sister's birthday last week & she's finally 18 (HURRAH!) so I took her out to see Wicked at the theatre!

We also popped in to have some afternoon tea at the Hilton beforehand cos we're just so la-di-da like that! :)

I really am loving pointed stilettos at the moment... I don't know why but I went through a phase of hating them on me but I thought what the heck, they look good on everyone else so I tried them out again & yes I love them (I know, I'm repeating myself!)

So my outfit for that day was created around the shoes (always a good place to begin)... 

I decided I wanted to wear something that was smart/casual just because it's London but I didn't want to look like I'd just finished work so I opted for some acid wash skinny jeans and a white shirt...

Can't go wrong with a white shirt & jeans!

I added a black boyfriend blazer, some silver jewellery and a grey scarf to complete the look!

As it was quite a chilly day, I covered up with a black mac!

I couldn't decide quick enough on a bag so I had to make do with a black satchel but hey, I think it goes!

Let me know your thoughts on the outfit! :)

What items are you loving at the moment?

Until next time...

My Not So Mini Beauty/Toiletries Haul

Hiii,

So the other day I popped into town just to get a few bits and as usual ended up with more than I bargained for!

My first port of call was Superdrug!

Now I am a sucker for deals and this is how these shops lure me in!!!

I've been wanting to try a new shampoo and Superdrug were doing a 2 for £5 deal on all of their V05 products excluding the hot oils and Argan oil treatment which was 2 for £7!
I bought the V05 "Cherish My Colour" shampoo & conditioner along with the Miracle Concentrate Elixir with Argan Oil and Hot Oils "Nourish My Shine".

Also from Superdrug, I picked up 2 Barry M Matte Nail Paints in the shades Crush & Caramel. (£3.99 each)
Again, they had an offer on this too! If you spent more than £9 on any Barry M products you would receive their Lash Vegas mascara for free!!!

Now I love a freebie hence why I'm such a sucker for these deals!!!

I picked up another Barry M Nail Paint which is in their Textured Nail Effect range and in the shade Majesty and got my free mascara!

My next stop was naturally Boots!

I do like to compare offers and was gutted when I walked into Boots and found that they had the same promotion on their Barry M products but more shades of their Matte collection.
Ever since I heard they brought out this collection, I've been dying to try it out!
So from Boots, I bought the shades Espresso, Vanilla & Mocha and again, got myself a free mascara! I chose the waterproof one this time!

I've also been wanting to try out a new drugstore foundation and so many beauty bloggers/Youtubers rave about the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation (£8.99) so I thought I'd give it a try! I bought mine in the shade Soft Beige.
Rimmel had a promotion where if you spent more than £10, you'd get their Scandaleyes Flex Mascara for free. So I added the Natural Bronzer in the shade 022 Sun Bronze (£5.99) to my basket.
Now they claim that this bronzer is waterproof so I'm quite eager to test that out and I think it would be very good for contouring!!

I've heard a lot of people talk about the new Sculpting Brow Mascara from Maybelline and I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon too! I bought mine in the shade Dark Brown.
Naturally, Maybelline had a 3 for 2 promo going on! I tried so hard to just pick up the one item but I couldn't so I added another Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick to my collection, this time in the shade Fuscia Flash and their Master Precise black liquid eyeliner pen cos you can never have enough black eyeliners.

For skincare, I always use Garnier products. They are always bringing out new products which I enjoy trying out but I do find that most of their stuff actually works!
I bought the Pure Active Anti-Spot Exfoliating Scrub and the Pure Active Anti-Spot 24h Moisturiser to try out this time and I've only just started using them so I can't give a fair review on them just yet but I will try and write a review blog post on them :)

Also Boots were doing a 3 for 2 on their skincare products but I have no idea what I picked up as my third item :$ (WARNING: This is what happens when you buy too much stuff!!!)

The last place I popped into was Asda where I picked up my monthly Glamour! And some more things!!!

Asda had an offer on their V05 products too!!! They had a 3 for £5 offer on their haircare section so I bought 2 bottles of hair mousse; one is called "Plump It Up" and the other "Smoothly Does It". I also picked up the Heat Protect Styling Spray which I use all the time and absolutely love and a newbie which I wanted to try, "Give Me Texture" instant oomph powder.
The idea of putting powder in my hair freaks me out slightly so I am nervous to try this but it was there on the shelf, looking all small and cute, so I picked that up too!

And woahhhh that's the end of my beauty/toiletries haul!
