Clothes Show Goodies

It's time to show you some Clothes Show goodies! Or should I say goody, since I'm out and can only show you guys one item (which I love) 

 

Here I'm wearing my 'vintage' blouse which I picked up from one of the stalls at the Clothes Show. I must say I fell in love with this top the second I saw it amongst the hustle and bustle of the crowds and went on a quest to actually find my mum so I could purchase it!

Yeah so I went to some effort getting it and it really was worth it! It's an old blouse with patterns of blue and purple which has been altered and customised which makes it even more creative and chic. I have worn it quite a lot since I purchased it I must admit. It was £15 and well worth it!   

One thing I particularly like about this top is that the back is cut out and although I'm wearing a plain black vest in this photo, I could perhaps wear a more fitting colour or towards the summer season a bandeaux! I love how I can wear it in different seasons by adding a jacket or jumper over the top too! 

Happy blogging 

Christmas Treats!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

*inserts tinsel and Christmas tree*

So... This Christmas I was a very lucky gal and got some top notch presents and along with them came some fab make-up which I think I should share with you! 

A few picks are: 1) Benefit's Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow foundation, 2) Benefit's Browzings and 3) Urban Decay Naked Flushed 

I'll start with the foundation from Benefit which is generally highly-rated and I find it amazing like the rest of them! The consistency is just right and I've wanted it for a while now so I'm very happy to finally have it! I have it in shade ivory which works perfectly with my skin!

Next the BrowZings, this little heaven in a palette is perfect for either filling in brows or re-shaping them! It comes with a wax and a powder, an angled brush and a blending brush also a pair of tweezers which is very handy! I have quite dark eyebrows myself so have it in shade 'medium' which is just right!

The Naked Flushed blusher/bronzer palette is one which (I have to admit) I didn't know existed! So when I unwrapped a mysterious small present on Christmas Day to find this I was more than impressed! I've only used it once since its only just been Christmas and I love it! The colours are 3 tones, a highlighting one, a bronzing and a cute blush! 

Overall I am very pleased with all 3 products and feel as though I'm treating my skin ha! (Please repay me and don't develop the usual spots skin) fat chance!

So I hope you had a very merry Christmas! Comment what your favourite present was?

The Clothes Show Live 2013

 The Clothes Show Live 2013

So, recently I have been to the fabulous Clothes Show Live and what a show it was, every aspect of the day was fashion-filled and fun from start to finish! Whether it be the extremely value-for-money goodie bags or the topless models here there and everywhere, I think it's safe to say I was in my element at the NEC Centre in Birmingham that day.

 Let's jump straight into the audience of the catwalk show which, I am still chatting so highly about, reason being it was absolutely brilliant and I'm glad I caught a few of these fashionable moments on camera. As pictured here, there is a display of men is rather tight shorts and their torso on show ...er fashion show? You can't go wrong with that extra bit of flesh aye! What really captured my keen interest about this show was the fact that it wasn't just the ordinary fashion show in which models would strut down to the end of the catwalk, pose away their stuff, and then strut back down. This catwalk was a whole showcase in itself, in fact they did anything other than 'walk'  down that runway. It went a bit more like; skip, hop, dance, cartwheel and back-flip your way there. I couldn't keep my eyes off the way the actors/dancers/models (extremely talented people) showcased their outfits by performing at such an .energetic way let alone their outfits, whether it be monochrome mixtures or the tartan winter collection, it was truly inspiring. Oh did I not mention Peter Andres appearance? Yeah, he was there too no biggie!

Whilst among the hustle and bustle of the Clothes Show stalls, I managed to collect a few goodie bags which were so much value for money I was baffled! I got so many I think I went a little overboard but an example of one which I love was the 'Rimmel Retro' £5 goodie bag which consisted of a Mascara, Wake Me Up foundation sample, a full size tube of fake tan and a nail varnish! shock! I especially loved their stall too which displayed a real  life Vespa (ace). I also managed to lose myself within the 'Vintage Village' where I bumped into Amy Childs at one point, here I purchased an old vintage blouse which had been re-vamped into a groovy looking tee with a cut out back! I shall upload a picture of this once photographed, since I love love love it!

Yeah so I think I've ranted enough about my wonderful experience at the clothes show now, but all in all I had a great time and for the fashionistas amongst us, it's definitely an escapism to the world of style and inspiration! Roll on next year I say!
