Week 2: Favourite Winter Accessories

Hola Dalimoo's 

So this is the second week of #theWinterProject and this week is favourite winter accessories.

This week is an easy one for me as there is only one accessory I look forward to when the weather turns cold and that is scarfs.  Ok so I am cheating a bit as I love scarfs in general and will wear them anytime of the year but the winter months it is a definite staple!!

shameless selfie

I have so many scarfs it borders obsessive!  So I will show you just a few of my favourites:

Espirit - given to me by my friend last year

I love the "old school" wrap around scarfs, the ones I like best are the really long ones as it wraps and wraps - the longer the better as these are just so cosey!

Snood I bought from New Look a couple of years ago

The inifinity scarf or as we in the UK call them a Snood. What can I say about these?  They are a never ending ring of scarf..!!

My two different size pashminas - L: Next last year
R: Orange pashmina from ebay

Pashminas.  Ok so my obsession are actually with these types of scarfs.  I have them in all sizes and colours.  You can get them extremely big where they look like a blanket or a "normal" size and you can wrap them round your shoulders or the outside of your coat or just like a normal scarf.  These are so versetile.

I have other types too, silk, sequin, mesh, square shaped....anyway I don't want to bore you to death about my scarf collection so I shall leave it here.

So this is my winter accessory what is yours?

Until next time my lovelies

Ciao for now xxx

New Look haul

Hola Dalimoos,

If you follow me on twitter you would know that I recently bought a dress from New Look which I loved but was too small!  I took it back to my local store who refused to give me a refund...anyway cutting a long story short, I got on twitter and included New Look in my tweet saying what bad customer service they had etc etc - Anyway as a goodwill gesture they gave me 25% off my next order.
So what is a girl to do?  I tell you what - take the dress back get the refund and get herself on their website and re-order the dress....

AX Paris red lace waist skater dress - £30

Obviously with the 25% off I thought it would be a crime not to add a few more things in to my basket:

Limited Black Peeptoe High Vamp Platform - £34.99

Finally, no outfit is complete without a couple of accessories!!

Black Clutch - £12.99

Gold Cutout Sand Blast Cuff - £5.99
Gold Triangle Chain Necklace - £5.99

I have to say that I am glad I complained now and roll on 7th November when I get to wear the ensemble.

Anyway my lovelies until next time...

Ciao for now xxx

Get ready with me....#1

Hola Dalimoo's,

Hope you are all well?

I thought I would do something out of my comfort zone and do a get ready with me post!  I am unsure whether these will be a regular post as I am not a "fashion" person really, I am someone that tends to be pretty boring in their clothing stakes and just wear what I like whether it is fashionable or not and I am by no means a make up artist and I just, again, go with what I like! but if you like it and you think they should be a regular thing then please comment below and let me know!

It was a casual day so I decided that shirt and jeans with boots was the calling of the day...

Jeans I can't remember where I bought them, Shirt and Chelsea Boots are both from Next

I didn't use that much make up as it was a casual day so it was a minimal make up day!

The make up of the day was my Bare Minerals foundation in Light, warm, eye brightener concealer and Mineral Veil.  Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Medium Barry M eyebrow gel, Baby Lips in Repair, Rimmel Lipstick in Nude Pink, Fashionista eyebrow kit, Look Blush in Pinch, Naked Palette and Max Factor eye brightening blue.

Before...

Please don't judge the tired eyes and sore lips...

 After...

Still don't judge the lazy/hooded eyes...

Excuse the eyebrows, I am trying to grow them out at the moment, apparently bushier (fuller) eyebrows make you look young and I am all for that!!!

 For my eyes I went quite natural, I used Virgin (on my inner corner to the middle of my eyelid), I then used Half Baked (2) on my outer corner to the middle and blended both colours together.  I used Smog (3) in my outer corner to deepen up the eyes and then used a mix of both Naked (4) and Buck (5) blend my crease, finally I used Dark horse (6) very slightly on my lash line on the top to thicken my lashes up.  I also used Half Baked and Smog mixed on a brush and put on below my lower lash line.  I didn't use a liner on my water line as I wanted to keep the look simple.

And, that was the look for the day.  OK...You are probably wondering where is the final picture with me showing the clothes off and my completed look?  Well, I just couldn't put that on.  My awkwardness is just awkward!  So cringy I just couldn't do it to myself.  So if I am to do more of these types of posts I will need to perfect the "blogger's stance" when having pictures taken for the OOTD!!  

So on this occasion please just imagine what it looked like at the end :O)

That is all for now my lovelies, until the next time.

Ciao for now xxx
