#Blogmas Day Two: Fairy Cake

It's blogmas day two and today I thought i'd share a little outfit post with you all. This is the kind of thing i wear day to day, just to run errands and that kind of thing. The jumper is a new addition to my wardrobe and i love the colour, as you may of notice I'm slightly obsessing over burgundy colours! It is slightly thin though, so it's an essential to layer this one up. What i also love about it is the little speckled detailing which just makes the colour more interesting. 

The tights I'm wearing are also totally adorable with little white polka dots, however not very practical for the colder weather. I'm on the hunt for some chunky warm tights at the moment. Also I've been wearing these shoes to death, i love creeper style shoes grunge down an outfit and they're also super comfortable which is a bonus. 

I bought this necklace a while ago on a whim in primark. The geometric shapes and almost illusion-al print caught my eye. It's a unique piece and it definitely makes this outfit more interesting. Plus it was a bargain at something like £3! It looks great with high neck tops more than anything or under a collar, but it can work with outfits like this too. On my lips I'm wearing the collection 2000 creme puff in fairy cake again simply because i rediscovered and fell in love with it. The colour is so pigmented and it lasts for ages!

Notice anything different? Yes, i am now a red head. I decided to change my hair a little for the autumn/winter, sometimes I think it's nice to have a change and not get stuck into a routine. Plus i was in drastic need of doing something to my hair because before it was so damaged. I used to have red hair before I started my blog and since changing back, i remember how much i loved it! I think it looks quite feisty and vibrant without looking too unnatural for work. Also, i love treating myself to a hair cut now and then - is it me or is it totally expensive these days to get it done in a salon?! Luckily my friend introduced me to her mobile hairdresser who was able to do this for me at late notice and a very good price, so a big thank you to her! If you live in the Bristol area and are looking for a good hairdresser, she is absolutely amazing so drop me a message and i'll pass on her details to you.

This is what I wore just as a casual outfit on my day off this week. I just went for a browse around in New Look and found this jeans at a discounted price and I really love wearing coloured jeans so I picked those up. The colour actually matched my hair quite well! I also picked up a dark red jumper but it's a bit much wearing the jeans, jumper and the hair! So i chose to team it with this waffle knit jumper which i actually bought last A/W and still totally love.

I also love the whole "collar peeping out" trend so i added a collar style necklace and it gave the look a pretty preppy edge. Finally I added these boots which i forgot I owned! Don't you love it when that happens? Rediscovering an old love... So I've been wearing them at every opportunity and they're such a lovely height, especially for a girl like me who needs to wear heels to feel normal! I can actually drive in these which is a bonus. 

My favourite lip product of the month seems to be the collection 2000 creme puff in "fairy cake" which i'm wearing in these photo's. I think i'm obsessed with the colour more than anything, I always feel super pale in the autumn/winter so i love having bright lips to add warmth and colour to my face.

In other news, I may have splurged and treated myself to a new Xbox which i've totally been addicted to this week - if you have any game recommendations then let me know! But at the moment i'm playing a lot of fallout and just dance! 

What do you think of my new hair colour? Do you like to have a change sometimes?

Boux Avenue: Cabot Circus

As i said in my previous post, I was lucky enough to attend the opening of the new Boux Avenue store in Cabot Circus last week. It was a really lovely day and the store is seriously beautiful! I met with some other blogger friends beforehand for breakfast and we headed down for a preview of the store at around 11pm. If you've never heard of Boux Avenue (where have you been?), it's a luxurious yet affordable lingerie store. The press release reads, "The glamorous label will set lingerie lovers' hearts racing with its sultry styles and flirtatious fabrics - making it an irresistible lingerie, nightwear and swimwear haven for Bristol shoppers." I think this sums up the store very well! I was so impressed with the level of customer service and attention to detail. The ladies who work there are so sweet, friendly and helpful and what i loved the most was the fact that they all had they're individual personality. 

The store itself felt like I was in a girlfriends bedroom! It was stylish, chic and classy whilst having a sense of cosiness to it. It's laid out so the lingerie is cleverly displayed in drawers according to their sizes, so it literally felt like i was just looking through my drawers at home. 

Also i must mention the fitting rooms which, not only were chic and stylish like the rest of the store, complete with a name of fabric on the door to each one.. (does anyone else love it when the dressing rooms have names?!) But they also had three adjustable light settings, day, dusk and night, to preview how the garment would look at each time of day. It's the little details that really made the store feel luxurious.

It was such a lovely morning and i'd like to thank Fluorescent PR for the invite. We also had the opportunity to meet Theo Paphitis who is the owner of the Boux Avenue chain and he was such a lovely down to earth man. I'd also like to thank Boux Avenue for the really lovely goody bags complete with a pair of cute knickers, lip balm, hand cream and £20 to spend in store. It's safe to say my underwear drawer is looking very pretty with my new Boux Avenue additions! If you haven't already, i urge you to visit your nearest store!
