January Fashion Favourites | Alivia

ello puddins..HAPPY FEBRUARY (already!!!!!),

So today I am going to be doing a more fashion based post on my 'January Fashion Favourites'. I can't be the only one of us that genuinely thinks they have an addiction to spending money (can I?!). Anyway, here's a few things that I've just been LOVING for everyday/casual and even smart wear!!

Also, I will just apologise for the dominantly poor image quality. It's very unlike me but all the photos were pre-taken :(

 

Topshop Ultimate Faux Leather Biker Jacket

Now for me, this jacket is on my list of holy grails. I wear it most days for sixth form because it goes with literally ANYTHING. If I want a more casual outfit day, this jacket immediately dresses it up (and is still sooo comfy). It's warm, comfy and just beautiful.

 

 

 

ITS CURRENTLY ON SALE SO HERE'S THE LINK IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A LOOK:

Topshop Cocoon Sweat
The comfiest item I own (apart from my pyjamas hehe). I absolutely ADORE this sweat SO SO much. I pair it with leggings and some converse on cosy days, and ripped jeans if I want to dress it up a little bit. With wavy, beachy hair this sweat looks stunning! It's available in many colours as well (all of which I  want).

Topshop Blue and White Speckle Shirt
Shock horror, another Topshop product (addicted okay, everything is just too nice to leave). This shirt has been one of my most worn items of January, the chiffon material is just so so soft on the skin which makes it comfortable for every occasion. You can't really see from the photos but there's actually a striped detail on the shirt which I just l o v e because it adds texture to the piece. The colour really matches my hair and skin tone and has been the cause of many compliments (thank you Topshop!!!).

Topshop Luxe Faux Fur Boxy Gilet
Classy, smart and very cute, this gilet is one of my more different (yet head over heels in love with) items from January. Silk lined and fur (what more could a girl ask for?!), unbelievably comfy and very warm for these cold, snowy months. This gilet pairs beautifully with the shirt above (see picture) and a pair of jeans, perfect for meals and nights out. I've been so impressed by Topshop recently (in case you couldn't tell), and would highly recommend anyone to visit it now!!

Black Converse All Star
Standard little shoe that is again, on my list of holy grails. Affordable, and go with absolutely everything, I have been LIVING in these recently!! They're so simple, yet I think they look so  effective and can really give an outfit some character. Great substitute for boots when we all chose comfort (me most of the time) and yeah, just bloody love them.

 

(yes, I know my feet are very small)

I didn't expect this to be a Topshop Haul but it kind of turned into one (oops) so sorry for that! Let me know what your January Fashion Favourites were in the comments below!! Thanks so much for reading!!

Lots of love always,

What's In My Mulberry? - Party Edition | Alivia

ello ello ello my little ones,

todays blog post is on 'What's In My Mulberry? - Party Edition' ! so basically guys around 5 months ago I got a very early Christmas present and it was the Mulberry Fold Over (Daria maybe?!) Clutch (LETS ALL SCREAM WITH EXCITEMENT), and I am still yet to use it as I don't want to spoil it because it's just so so beautiful. Anyway, on Friday I am christening it and using it for the first time so I thought I may as well do the "What's In My Bag?" tag with a little bit of a twist (always got to keep things more interesting).

Mac- Crème Cup
Us girls know just how important it is to top up our lipstick throughout the night. So ALWAYS make sure you have the lipstick you're wearing in your bag (in this case for me, the Mac Crème Cup, which I highly, highly recommend).

BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lip Gloss
Okay so again you don't have to use this specific lipgloss, but oh my gosh this one is one of my favvvess!! Its a gorgeous pink gloss that tastes like pepperminty oh wow its sent from the heavens! It's always lovely to quickly apply lip gloss to add colour to our faces!

(ive actually misplaced this lipgloss and didn't have a photo, so I got this one online for you, SO sorryyy)

Mac Pressed Blot Powder
Dancing away, laughing can seriously lead to getting a bit of a sweat on which means...SHINY!!! Nobody (and I mean nobody) wants a shiny, sweaty face with makeup that looks as though it's melting off!! Apply some powder throughout the night and it will help your makeup set into place and also get rid of the shine (unless you want to embrace the shine then that's okay!!)

Hairspray
For me, this is a MUST. After lots of dancing, sweating and jumping around my perfect party hair often ends up going pretty mental so a quick trip to the toilet and some hairspray is literally  a holy grail!! Obviously you need a mini version if you are using a clutch! (unlike my huge bottle here, I ran out of my mini's!!)

Lady Million Perfume- Paco Rabanne
My signature smell. You simply CANNOT go without your favourite smell on a night out after being squashed around lots of people! Smelling nice is one of the few, loveliest things to do and also to be complimented on in my opinion! OH, I also highly recommend this perfume it is the nicest thing I have smelt in a long time, and is very long-lasting! (you can read more about it in my 2014 beauty favourites post).

And then of course all the usual's;

Money

Tissue

etc etc..

(us girls put way too much in our bags dont we?!)

So... considering this whole post is about my true love.. here she is in all her beauty!!

Thanks so much for reading and let me know what kind of things you put in your bag on a night out!!! Also, let me know what kind of other posts you want me to write!

Lots of love always,
