30 Day Photography Challenge

Hey Lovlies!



I'm being a terrible person and have missed out like 3 pictures so that's what I shall be doing today...

Day Two: What You Wore Today


So I was super busy Thursday and forgot to take a picture of what I wore...This is what I wore for a night out, you can't see it very well but it's a bodycon dress with a sheer floor length part with the front section open, which was £15 from Primark. A jewelled belt which was £4 from Primark and my clutch which was many £7 from New Look.


Day Three: Clouds


Red clouds over Worcester


Day Four: Something Green

Thanks for reading :) Hope you're having a great weekend so far.

I Love Autumn Tag

Helloooo,

So I've seen quite a few YouTubers doing the 'I <3 Fall Tag' and soooo I have decided to do my own version of it over on my little blog. I'm sure some people are already doing it but I absolutely love Autumn so  whyyy not? :)

1. Favourite Autumn lip product?

Ooooh that's a tricky one, I've been liking quite a few recently including Nivea's Milk and Honey lip balm. I also like my Balmi lip balm but I guess my favourite one at the moment is a Revlon lip butter in Raspberry Pie, which is a lovely berry colour.





                                                             
2. Favourite Autumn nail polish?
Definitely definitely DEFINITELY Barry M's nail varnish in 'Raspberry'. I've been rambling on about this quite a bit recently but it is soooo lovely. It is exactly the same colour as the lip butter, a sort of deep red, berry colour. It looks just plain red in the picture but honestly it isn't!


3. Favourite Autumn drink?
This was originally fave starbucks Autumn drink but I never go there because Worcester doesn't have one!! Tricky, I can't say I really drink anything different in Autumn except for maybe just hot drinks in general. I love a tea and green tea with lemon or even fruit teas which are really lovely and hot chocolate...mmmm.

4. Favourite Autumn candle?
I feel boring again because, don't get me wrong I love candles, but I can't justify spending like £20 or however much a Yankee candle is, on a candle, also I don't know if it's just me but whenever any candle is burning no matter where it's from or what scent it is, all I can smell is burning candle....? Sooo I guess my favourite candles are just tea lights which you put into a pumpkin :)

5.Favourite Autumn scarf or accessory?
This might have to be a scarf I got from George. It's a mix of red, burgundy and purple so a great colour for Autumn. It's not woolly so it's not super hot but it's still warm enough to keep you snug in the colder days.





6. Haunted House, ghost train or ghost walk?
I've altered this one a bit because I'm not sure if 'hay rides' or 'corn mazes', which were originally in the question, are that common in England compared to ghost trains and ghost walks.
I do not like ghost trains, as a gullible 4 year old I went on the one at Alton Towers thinking it was a train in the shape of a ghost....I cried and i'm sure now being 19 I'd still be terrified. Ghost walks scare me too. My town has one and Worcester is a really old place so there are loads of stories of ghosts and things. It's super scary because they're sightings and things by real people instead of plastic figures and mechanisms. I'd have to go with a haunted house, at least you can run through them and get out asap...In case you hadn't noticed, I'm a wimp :P

7. Favourite Halloween Movie?
I'd have to go with Halloween town which when I was younger always seemed to be on the Disney Channel around Halloween time. It reminds me of dressing up and going to friend's parties.

8.Favourite sweets to eat at Halloween?
Ummmmm, do England do a specific sweet for Halloween? I love alllll sweets so any sweets are great. I do like the little ghost and eyeball chocolates and things :)

9. What are you dressing up as for Halloween?
I do not have a clue! last year we went to our friends uni party and I was a devil. I'd like to do something like a scary doll or something a little more original this year. Any ideas? lol.

10. What's your favourite thing about Autumn?
The colours. I love reds and oranges and goldsssss. I also love Haloween and Bonfire night!!!!!! I also like the fact that it's getting colder outside but it's not sooo cold that you don't want to get out of bed in the morning.

Thanks for reading :) I'd love to read your 'I love Autumn Tag' if you do it or if you've already done it so feel free to link it to me. I tag everrrryone reading this to do the tag :)

Lots of love, Lucy xx

Autumn/Winter perfumes

Hey Guys :)

I am once again posting like a post man on post tablets.
I've been searching high and low for an Autumn/Winter perfume but just can't seem to find one! I'm therefore gunna take you on a bit of a perfume tour with me, giving my views on some scents in the shops and being advertised tonnes atm to see if I think they smell Autumn/Wintery...

Ellie Saab 'Le Parfum' - This is a lovely 'Citrussy' yet floral smell...Boots.com describes it as...

Airy, luminous, addictive
The fragrance opens with a soaring harmony of delicately acidulated Mandarin blossoms.
The heart unfolds into a veil of radiant crystalline white flowers, supported by Gardenia and Orange blossom.
The delicious Rose Honey softness of the base envelops the skin like precious chiffon.

You really can smell the citrus smells in this, which does however make me feel it's a bit more of a summery smell compared to an A/W smell. This retails at £33.00 for 30ml.


Calvin Klein 'Euphoria' - This one if deffinately more fruity than the previous perfume. It's not my favourite either. Some part of it reminds me of the smell of my grandma...which is nice, but a little odd at the same time. feelunique.com describes the scents as...

Top notes: Pomegranate, Japanese Apple, Green Leaves.
Heart notes: Rose Hip, Lotus, Black Orchid.
Base notes: Red Woods, Black Violet, Cream Accord, Liquid Amber.

This was apparently part of Calvin Kleins Spring collection so isn't one i'd go for in the colder months. It retails at £29.00 from Boots and so is pretty reasonable for a high end perfume.


Gucci 'Premiere' - This is much more of a musky smell and so feels suitable for A/W. The smell isn't too strong either. This one is described by boot.com as...

Top notes: Bergamot, orange blossom
Heart notes: White flowers, musk
Base notes: Leather, wood

This smell wouldn't feel out of place on Bonfire night or on a day in the park jumping on crunchy leaves. The only downside is that a 30ml bottle of this costs £45.00!


Viktor & Rolf 'Flower Bomb' - This is the first perfume by this brand and it is a really lovely light floral scent but regardless I still feel it would be pretty suitable for A/W. Boots.com describes this one as...

A millefeuille flowers surround the freesia, rose centifolia, osmanthus and jasmine sambac, supported by a background of patchouli.

Despite not knowing what half of these words mean it's pretty easy to tell that it is a floral smell.

The downside of this is again the price. For a 50ml bottle of this is £55.00!! and that is just for an Eau De Toilette, the shower gel alone is £42.50.


What would you recommend as a great A/W perfume?


Thank you so much for reading guys.

Lots of love Lucy xx

Wish List | A/W 2012

Hey Everyone, 


I've decided to just do a short blog post about things i'm lusting after, for this A/W.
Firstly I reaaaallly want Topshop's studded Vectras or just some studded ones in general, the cheaper the better.
I also want some skater/jersey skirts to wear with thick tights and jumpers to be all snuggly, yet still girly when the weather gets colder.
I love the printed jeans fashion and especially these ones from Topshop, they're £40 and have a really pretty paisley print in 'Autumny' colours.
I love spike bracelets and this pack of four is lovely, they are again from Topshop.
I really like the Chelsea ankle boots from New Look, they are really easy to just slip on and are only £19.99
I am always looking out for comfy jumpers for winter and I saw this jumper in Miss Selfridge and fell in love. It's £39 so a little on the expensive side but I think the colours and pattern are gorgeous.
Finally I saw these lace-up boots in Topshop and thought that they were really different, they also look so cute on. The only trouble is that I have this gorgeous leather jacket from Miss Selfridge and i'm not sure if these boots would go with it :O

Thanks for reading :) What's on the top of your wish list this A/W?

Lots of love, Lucy xx
