This Topshop hat is the newest addition to my collection. I think it works so well with so many different outfits and I like the brown colour as opposed to the usual black. I love wearing hats, I think they add such a chic touch to an outfit and make me feel so much more confident - although they can be hard to handle against the sea breeze down here!
Benefit Hoola was never something I'd tried until I got it in a set for Christmas, as I've always been happy with my Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess. But I decided to finally give Hoola a go a few weeks ago and I must say I'm pleasantly surprised! I always assumed it would be too orange on me but even on my winter-pale skin it works great for warming up my face, and it's become the newest addition to my everyday make up.
I picked up this Asos top a couple of weeks back in an attempt to get out of my monochrome rut and get some colour back in my life! This is a perfect day-to-night top - great with jeans and a leather jacket in the day, and easy to dress up with heels and a bold lip (I love Rimmel Kate Moss #5 which is pretty much identical to the pink in the pattern for a matchy look!)
After watching this week's Bake Off, I've completely rediscovered my girl crush on Alexa Chung. She has that perfect relaxed, I-woke-up-like-this (sorry, cringe, I know!) look and such a loveable personality and basically I just want to be her! Her book, 'it', is one of my favourites for outfit inspiration.
As I mentioned in my Top 10 Lip Products of 2014, I'm a big fan of the Maybelline Colorsensational Elixirs, but until recently I'd only tried the more neutral shades. I spotted Raspberry Rhapsody the other day in Boots and just had to pick it up. It looks like a completely unwearable neon purple in the bullet, but on the lips gives just the right level of colour pop for an everyday look. I've layered it over Mac Vino lip pencil for a more full on purple look, but I love it alone during the day, especially for uni as I can easily touch it up without a mirror.
The Babyliss Pro Conical Wand (25-13mm) is something I can't live without. It's such a versatile styler that can create anything from ringlets to loose waves, depending on the amount of hair you use (I tend to go for fairly loose curls); and the curls last all day, and even into the next day for a relaxed wave. I also love conical wands purely for how quick and easy they are to use - I'm a girl who loves her sleep and so the fact that, with this, I can have an extra few minutes in bed and still get good hair in 5 minutes makes it a total lifesaver!
