THE PERFECT ACCESSORY

I have always been a fan of a good lipstick. When you find the perfect shade, it can complete an outfit. I have a rather big collection that i have acumlated over the years, of course not all have been successful but with a bit of research i have found my perfect four. The first is Revlons : Almost Nude. This is the perfect 'my lips but better' shade. A nude is great for days when you're in a hurry and don't have time to faff around with lipstick liners or worrying about the dreaded lipstick on teeth scenario. This one lives in my bag constantly (note the wear and tear!) and never fails to be the perfect everyday shade. It's perfect if you have a paler skin tone as there is a slight peach undertone to the nude that doesn't wash you out. Next up is my new favourite, Topshops: Straight Ace. I know bright purple may seem like a slightly scary concept, but I've grown to love it. It's a perfect go to when in need of a pop of colour. Now for Inhibition, unlike Straight Ace, this Topshop shade is a darker purple. This berry shade is the perfect option for a night out, or a great way to spice up an everyday outfit. Last but certainly not least is Macs: Russian Red. I feel like every lipstick collection should include a red. I went for this shade as it was classic and perfect for everyday wear. This particular formula is very long lasting and i highly recommend if you're looking for an investment.

What's your go-to lipstick?

DENIM DAYS

If you haven't made a trip to Arundel yet then you need to. With miles of footpaths, ducks and lakes, this place is the perfect hot spot for a wind down. For me, perfect walking attire = comfy. I opted for my grey Topshop dress that I purchased last summer. It's a perfect 'throw on and go' dress and goes with most things in my wardrobe, can't go wrong with a simple skater dress. The weather was gorgeous so there was no need for a coat, I decided my denim jacket would be a great addition instead. I got this Levi jacket from a vintage shop in Brick Lane a few years back, it was cheap as chips and i couldn't say no. If you don't yet have one of these, you need to invest. I studded the pockets as i felt it needed a little up cycling after years of wear and tear. My pink bow is from American Apparel, i am a sucker for a bow, I think they add a little something to an outfit- plus, it keeps my unruly locks in shape ;). I decided to go for a red lip, because well, why not? Add some boots or converse and your good to go!

Until next time
