Seasonal Essentials

Hey everyone,
So recently the weather has been getting a little frostier, as I live in England, therefore I thought I would write about some essential items to have in the winter! This post isn't just on fashion but everyday essentials for the colder months too! Please leave comments below if you like any of the ideas suggested or if you are going to use any of these ideas!

Fashion 

A day dress is an essential for all seasons but a long sleeve day dress is a good product to buy to have a girly look even in the colder weather! This is a swing style dress that I've recently purchased from boohoo.com. It is a bit of an unusual choice for me to buy and I liked it for this reason and also because when I put it on, it had a vintage look to it which made me love it even more because I'm in love with anything vintage! You can pair this statement dress with tights, a scarf and some black heels or other shoes and you have a perfect girly winter outfit.




This style of scarf is often referred to as a snood (a British term, i think) or an infinity scarf. It is definitely an essential for the chillier weather as it is stylish and cosy. The snood in the picture is from Topshop and I chose it as an example because the pastel pink colour brings a warm touch to an outfit.





Beauty

An essential for beauty would be the newly released range of Baby Lips by Maybelline. I haven't tried them out for myself but I have heard so many good reviews about them that I will be buying one as soon as I can! They come in six different colours and flavours. Definitely something to check out! You can buy these from any drug or beauty store.
For other types of make up I would suggest neutral tones for eye make up and warm colours for the lips. Remember to keep your lips moisturised during the colder times so that your lips don't get chapped.

Room Inspiration

A tip for seasonal decoration for your room is...Fairy lights! Fairy lights are a great decoration for your room, no matter what season it is. They give your room a cosy feel and also give a feminine touch. You can get these lights from most stores and in all different types, the suggestions are endless.






Music


Music suggestions for this season are pretty obvious, anything christmassy will do! Now That's What I Call Christmas is a collection of traditional Christmas favourites. These are great songs to listen to in the car or around the house to get you into the Christmas spirit!

A band that I've been loving recently are Twenty One Pilots! They don't have any relation to Christmas but I thought I would share this band with you as they aren't extremely well known but are really good! My favourite songs by them are Holding on to You, House of Gold and their cover of Can't Help Falling in Love.  They are not something that I would usually listen to but I love them!

That's all of the seasonal essentials that I would suggest! This is a different type of post for me but I hope you like it, please give me feedback in the comments. Also, I would like to thank a lot of people who have told me that they've been loving my blog and have shared it with lots of people and I really thank everyone for reading this!

Lots of Love,

Inspirations in the Industry

Hey bloggers,

Today's post is about inspirations in the fashion industry. There are many people that i admire but the few that I am going to talk about are people who are my greatest inspirations.

Cara Delevingne

Cara Delevingne is probably my biggest inspiration in the industry because she is so unafraid to be who she is and she isn't the type of model who is unhealthily skinny or who won't go out of the house without makeup on. She is a very good role-model for young girls because of this. Cara is photographed regularly in casual everyday clothing and with no makeup, she is a normal girl and very down-to-earth. She is also unlike most models because outside of work she usually wears hats, trainers and tracksuit trousers. However, in photo shoots she becomes a girly, beautiful yet unusual looking model who is extremely versatile. At only 21, Cara is one of the most famous and successful models at the moment and is currently the face of Burberry's Beauty campaign and won Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards. Her confidence in who she is and her drive to be successful are what makes her someone that I look up to, like many young girls do.

Jade Thompson

Jade Thompson began her modelling career by appearing on Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model. At the beginning of the competition, she felt unsure about herself because of her looks but as the competition progressed she grew in confidence. Eventually, Jade went on to win the competition and since then has been on the cover of Company magazine several times, she was the face of Revlon's beauty campaign and has been a model that has featured in two episodes of the TV show Styled to Rock. Jade is one of my inspirations because of her unusual looks, the strength to push past negative comments about her and her personality. She is working her way up in the fashion industry but is still as grounded as before winning BINTM.
