Spring Trend #1 Short Suits

So,I`ve been out of the blogging swing of things since June but after recently getting back into following other beauty/fashion related blogs I`ve decided to give mine the kickstart it needs to get going again.So here goes....

As Spring approaches I`ve decided to dedicate a whole 7 days worth of blog posts to the new seasons must haves.I have been scouring blogs,magazines and the highstreet lately in search of whats going to be hot this Spring/Summer and I have to say I like what I see.Kicking off this 'mini series' are short suits,these have been seen all over the runway and have now filtered down to the highstreet with some great options up for grabs.A few of my favourite highstreet options are shown below starting off with The Saturdays Mollie King.

Mollie looks girly,sophisticated and stylish in this gorgeous peach co-ord short suit from Topshop,it retails at £95 and is absolutely stunning.I love how Mollie has teamed it with a simple white scalloped vest (also Topshop) and tan clutch-perfect!
And it seems Mollie isn`t the only one to be loving the short suit look at the moment as her bandmate Rochelle Wiseman was spotted in this beautiful coral Lipsy number.The colour looks amazing against her skintone and is perfect for Spring/Summer.Unfortunatley the jacket is sold out in smaller sizes on the Lipsy website at the moment but is widely available in stores.

I can`t wait to wear this trend myself and I can deffinelty see it following through to Autumn by adding thick tights,chunky ankle boots and a scarf.

Will you be investing in a short suit this Spring?

Granny chic shoes...

I thought I would share these moccasin flats I purchased from Topshop this week,there not something I would typically wear but I love them!I`m very picky when it comes to shoes,I`m not a fan of brogues or any shoe that resembles something a man or an old lady would wear,although these are a little 'granny chic' I actually thought they looked pretty cute.

I love the soft grey suedec and they are perfect for spring now that its getting a little warm for boots but not hot enough for sandals.I think I will be wearing these with skinny jeans and might wear them on my long flight next month as I can pop them on and off easily and they wont restrict my feet too much,there really comfy!I`ve never actually seen these in store but you can pick them up on the Topshop website for £32 if anyones interested :)

Topshop,Mac,Fake Bake and Charles Worthington...

This Saturday I did a little shopping and stopped by mac to purchase a few must haves and a couple of extras.First of all we have my all time favourite concealer,studio finish in nc30 and a new bottle of studio fix in nc35.I used to wear this all the time and I don`t know why but I keep going through phases of loving and hating it.Anyway its back for now!

I finally got my hands on tan pigment and I am far from dissapointed,its got more pink in than I expected and less,well tan.Its a beautiful bronzey brown shade,right up my alley.I wore it today alone just to see what it was like (I haven`t been anywhere important today)and I really like it.I`m looking forward to trying it with different eyeshadows.One thing I will say though and this is the reason I only own 2 pigments-they are so messy!I am quite clumsy and have managed to spill some already.

Mac`s Costa Chic is not a lipstick I ever saw myself purchasing,I`m very much a pale pink,nude,beige girl and I usually feel like a clown wearing anything bright.However I decided it was about time I expanded my collection and after seeing many bloggers pulling of this lipstick beautifully I decided to purchase.I hope I can pull it off,im unsure at the minute.
Other purchases included Charles Worthingtons mineral hair mask,I`ve heard alot of good reviews and plan on doing a review myself in the next few weeks.I`m a big fan of hair masks but I don`t like to spend a fortune on hair care,my favourite to date is Aussie 3 minute miracle.I also bought some more Ardell lashes(,I loved my first pair and think I have been converted from Eyelure) and I stocked up on fake tan,after Xen Tan dark lotion Fake Bake is my personal favourite.

I purchased alot of clothes yesterday and in the past few weeks as I`m trying to put together a holiday wardrobe at the minute.I`m thinking of doing a 'my week in photo's ' post when I get back so I`ve decided not to blog about them as I`ll be wearing them in holiday pics.I did however buy this cute little bag from Topshop,its tan suede and cost £25,its perfect for holiday as I probably wont want to cart my big handbag around everywhere.

I hope everyone has had a great weekend whatever you were up too!

Revlon and Topshop goodies...

This week I have been mainly working however today I popped into town for a spot of shopping and I also ordered a few things online which arrived a few days ago.Most of what I have been buying lately has been clothes as I`m trying to prepare for my holiday and the warmer weather which I am patiently waiting for! Unfortunatly I have found it pretty difficult to get any decent pictures when it comes to clothing so I am planning to do a few OOTD posts in the hope of showing them off a little better.

I stopped by the Revlon stand in Boots this afternoon and as there is currently a 3 for 2 offer I decided to pick up two nail polishes,on the left is grey suede which is not very grey but is a gorgeous nude and pink pastel which is a pale lilac-pink.I have actually never tried Revlon nail polish before as I usually prefer OPI just because its what I`m used to working with in the salon.Im not a nail polish snob though!I love Barry M polishes and I`m hoping I will love these too.The colours are SO pretty!I also chose a lipgloss in the shade Pink Crystals,a lovely peachy,pink with subtle shimmer.These are actually my favourite 'drugstore' lipglosses and I also own the shade peach petal which is an absolute must for a lipgloss fan.They have a doe foot aplicator and a very smooth consistancy,not sticky at all.

Earlier in the week I spied these grey patent platforms on the Topshop website and had to have them.They are just my cup of tea,I love a good platform,they instnt slim and elongate your leg,they come in nude also but I really love the grey.I tried them on as soon as they arrived and I have to say they are very easy to walk in,for me at least.They have a very high heel but I think the stap makes you feel more stable and therfore it is easier to walk.

Also from Topshop I picked up this ring,I`m not normally a ring fan but this caught my eye and I really like the peachy coloured stone against the gold detail.I should really wear rings more often but I seem to be more of a bracelet and watch kind of girl.

So thats my little 'haul' of sorts for the week,I hope everyone has had a great weekend,like I said mine was spent mainly working but I now have the next two weeks off (yay!) which means lots of shopping,sleeping and hopefully blogging for me! :)

Saturday night...

For some reason posting that as my title has reminded me of the 90`s song by some girl with a pink bath towel on her head that we would perform a dance routine to at every party we attended aged about 6!Anyone remember that,or maybe just me?

Anway moving on...

Last night I went out for an Italian with my boyfriend and his parents to celebrate his new job and afterwards we headed into town to meet our friends for drinks.I know the quality of these photo's are dreadful but I just got an iphone 4 on Friday and got a bit snap happy.I`ve never even owned an ipod before so I was pretty excited to get my hands on an iphone.

I chose to wear this cream lace,skater type dress which I purchased in Topshop this week along with thick black tights and my Topshop platform shoe boots which get a lot of love from me.I was originally planning to wear my nude Topshop platforms and no tights but it snowed where I live yesterday and was also raining,the dress is pretty short too and as I was going for a meal with the boyfriends parents I thought better of it and put a pair of tights on.I do however plan on taking this number on my hols and think it will look nice with a pair of tan sandals and a cropped denim jacket.I like when going out outfits double up into daytime looks and vice versa!Not that you can tell from the rubbish photo but I`m wearing Estee Lauder Double Wear in shell beige,hoola bronzer by Benefit,peaches blush by Mac,woodwinked,sable and brule eyeshadows by Mac,L'Oreal Voluminous mascara,Urban Decay liner in zero anddddd YSL tea rose lipstick which I have rekindled my love for.

Oh and I have to mention my favourite lashes which I am also wearing.They are the Sarah Harding Girls Aloud lashes.Deffinetly the best of the bunch.I have pretty big eyes and these are just the right length for me they are also not too long as I can`t stand rediculously ott lashes.One thing I do not like though is the eyelure glue!Is it me or has it got worse?I deffinetly need to purchase some duo glue.

Saturday Summary!

Happy Saturday!

Without doubt Saturday is my favourite day of the week and for me it usually means shopping,shopping and more shopping.Today was no different,I visited the Metro centre and tonight has been spent relaxing and mainly watching t.v.I received my favourite self tan 'Xen Tan' in the post this morning so when I`m done with this post I have a little tanning session planned.Im going for a meal to celebrate Valentines day tomorrow evening as I work til 8 weekdays and I also plan to start using my ebay account again,I have so many clothes I don`t wear anymore that are just sitting there when I could be making money.I actually used to ebay alot,infact I ebayed the majority of my wardrobe when I lost a lot of weight in 2009 and I really want to get back to some 'serious' ebaying lol.

Anyway,I thought I would post a few pictures of my purchases today.I back to mac'd for 'Lovelorn' lipstick which was a totally random decision,I was about to leave when I realised I had enough empties to return and I had no idea what lipstick I wanted.When I got to the Mac counter Lovelorn took my fancy,I haven`t worn it yet but it seems like it will make a very wearable,everyday, mid tone pink.I also purchased club and naked lunch eye shadows,naked lunch I have wanted for ages and I have been dying to get my hands on club after I watched pixi2woo's Mila Kunis makeup tutorial.My final makeup purchase was the YSL touche eclat,I have owned this before and loved it but as its so pricey I never repurchased.I finally decided to buy another after having several comments on how tired I look this week.Nice eh!?

(Lovelorn looks more of a hot pink here but I took this at night so the colour is slightly off )

As I mentioned in a previous post Im off on holiday In April so I decided to have a look for some flat sandles I could wear both during the day and at night (I know its still February but I like to be organised lol).I found the white pair in Topshop and the tan diamonte ones in River Island where I also bought some highly boring work clothes that I haven`t bothered to photograph.I love both of these and for once I know I will actually get my use out of something.

Hope everyone has had an equally good Saturday as me and enjoy the rest of the weekend!
