what I wore: kimono + cut offs

hat: h&m
floral kimono: c/o choies
vintage belt: urban outfitters
shorts: h&m
cuff: topshop
shoes: topshop

oh lord I'm completely unprepared for the cold!

I've been busy squeezing in the last of my summer outfits, you might have seen that I've been away in marbella on holiday (the perfect opportunity to drag out my summer wardrobe) but I'm still looking forward to the transition to knits and cosy coats!

I haven't been all that tempted by the kimono trend this year but I finally found the one that made me change my mind.. hurrah! I loved the colour and pattern of this one from choies and I'm glad I opted for something different as I loved it on arrival, it's so damn pretty and swishy (yep definitely a word) it's made me a fully fledged kimono convert! 

well I'm off to unpack my suitcase, bye bye bikinis hello 100 denier tights.

back soon!

whats on my face! travel edition:

as you may or not know I'm on holiday this week (it's my birthday trip to new york hurrah!!) it feels really strange scheduling a post in advance as I usually write them on the day but here I am (...sort of!) I love packing for holiday; I'm always torn at what to bring with me but I'm being pretty strict this time (must. not. go. over. luggage. allowance. caroline!) I wanted to bring my everyday make up with a few extras to ramp up my look in the evening! I love peeking into my friends make up bags so I hope you guys enjoy this post! so here's a little run down of the contents of my travel make up bag! 1.  mac lady danger lipstick : this is my all time go-to red lipstick for nights out & cocktails! 2.  illamasqua precision ink in havoc:  this is my current most used ink eyeliner and lasts through the day without smudging! 3.  maybelline dream touch concealer:  this is my favourite concealer for touching up dark circles. perfect for early morning flights...zzzzz

I've rounded up a some bits and bobs I've been a fan of this week! as you can see it's a rather random assortment (forgive me!) but I don't have time to post about them all and I think they're worthy of a thumbs up! 1. primark socks : I've been buying topshop frilly socks for a few months now (too cute to resist) I just discovered that primark are selling pairs for £1.50! I'm so fickle I switched my frilly sock allegiance immediately, sorry topshop! 2. barry m gelly polishes and confetti nail effects : I've purchased a few gelly polishes over the last two months and I'm really impressed with them. I find them a little slow to dry but the opacity is really good and some only need one generous coat for good coverage! the confetti effects in dolly mixture are adorable I LOVE it! it isn't like a glitter polish it's more like having tiny feathers on your fingertips, big fan! 3. paperchase stickers : I added another batch to my collection this wee

easy nail art: bourjois manicure toppings

easy peasy nail art coming up! I've been playing with some items that I've received from superdrug- one of which happens to be these bourjois manicure toppings. I'm so late to the party on this one (call myself a nail art blogger huh?) I love painting my nails but not everyone has the time or inclination for fancy pants nail art so this is a great one which takes no skill at all (seriously even my boyfriend could master this one!)  start off with a base colour, I've was given this lovely peppermint rimmel polish for some recent nail features so I decided to give it a whirl! I'm not sure why but I barely own ANY rimmel polishes, I have my favourites and I tend to stick with them so poor old rimmel hasn't had a look in for a while now.  I've seen quite a few glowing reviews on them lately especially these salon pro offerings; now I've tried one I would totally purchase these in future as they're under a fiver and it hasn't chipped once (watch out
