Excuse my very dark outfit, not sure what's going on really but i've definitely been reaching for the blacks recently, then again who doesn't love black?!

Got this blanket wrap from a local charity shop last week and it's damn snuggly! I'm not really a massive fan of tartan, i think i got a bit sick of it last year but i couldn't pass up this £4 bargain! Plus i love the blue and green in it <3

keep warm!

Shoes, choker | Ebay

What a start to the week...Been nursing a very poorly doggy of mine, after loosing my other dog last month, it's been scaring me so much! He's looking better though so a big sigh of relief!

I think velvet turban/head wraps are my favourite accessory for autumn/winter this year, they keep me ears warm without making me too hot, plus they are adorable! The collections growing, plus i keep making them when ever i find material (i'm not sorry!)

Hope you're all having a lovely week!

Hey my lovelys!

I've gone back to work this week, meh! I wasn't actually going to go back to were i used to work (i was meant to be moving) living in such a small town means not so many jobs around! So i have been feeling a little down in the dumps and trapped.

Kate Bush Cloudbusting has become my anthem this week! Go and have

a listen if you're feeling a bit stuck. She is a goddess!

this coat! The softest thing i've ever had wrapped round me <3

NYX lipliner | Mauve - £3.50

The perrrrrfect dark nude colour for autumn! I found it while looking for a cheap Kylie Jenner inspired lip colour, and i found this beauty, literally stays all day and is such a beautiful colour!

____________________________________________________________________________________

Color drama | Keep it classy - £4.99

I am a massive berry lip fan when it comes to autumn (ok who am i kidding, all year round) but this is a little change for me as it's a lot more pinky - i love the consistency of these lip pencils (as you'll see, another will creep up later)

____________________________________________________________________________________

Body shop | Cheek and lip stain - £10

The perfect everyday colour, especially when you're in a rush or can't make up your mind on a lip colour! Such a beautiful colour and it's a two in one!

____________________________________________________________________________________

Topshop | Infared £8.00

One word - PUMPKINS!

plus i adore the Topshop lipsticks!

____________________________________________________________________________________

MAC | Ruby Woo - £15

ohhh this beauty! Such a classic for any season, the perfect matte red!

____________________________________________________________________________________

MUA | Shade 1 - £1

One of my favourite vampy reds - and for £1 you can't go wrong! A good lip liner is essential with this one though!

____________________________________________________________________________________

Bourjois | Rouge Edition - Grand Cru - £8.99

The consistency of these velvet lip creams are amazing! I tried the ones from sleek which dried my lips out a lot, but this one doesn't in the slightest! Plus it's very build-able, which i like!

Love love love!

Barry M Lip Paint | Black Cherry £4.49

I think this is my most worn lipstick, EVER. It's the most wearable berry colour in my eyes, it's just sooo beautiful, this is that lipstick i pray they never discontinue! Couldn't sing it's praises enough!

Collection Lip Liner | Damson £2.79

I wear this bad boy as the main lip colour mostly, i don't put a lipstick over because the colour is so beautiful and for the price, the staying power is amazing!
