Cardiff Haul No.2

(All links below)

So me and Kane decided to make use of his day off and pop to Cardiff for a mini shop. I really wanted to visit Primark and get my hands on fluffy bits so it was perfect for me. Cardiff have a huge Primark compared to Swansea so I was able to find everything I had my eye on. Unfortunately the day involved lots of rain so I wasn't up for shopping around too much and mainly stuck to stores indoors. 

OOTD featuring Topshop and Jeffrey Campbell

Now winter is approaching I decided to dig out all my jumpers and found this amazing sugar skull item. I had to style it because it's just so beautiful and versatile. It's an old buy but with the colder weather approaching I'm sure Topshop will be bringing out many printed jumpers to choose from.

Now Autumn is here, I've fallen back in love with my mom jeans and thankfully the weather permits them without over heating. Even though the winter weather is approaching luckily its still warm enough to wear crop tops. I'm making full use of this cool weather before I'm absolutely freezing and living in fluffy jumpers till summer is back. 

Maybelline Baby-skin Instant Fatigue Blur Review

 Boots: £7.99

If you've seen my daily make-up post (which I really need to update!!) you would have notice I was using Rimmel fix and protect primer. I'm always looking and testing primers to find the perfect match for my skin. The Rimmel primer worked really well and was a white based colour so blended with all skin tones. This primer comes in two colours; cool rose and apricot to match the undertone colour of your skin. As I have quite red skin in certain areas I decided to go for the cool rose option.

OOTD featuring River Island and Missguided

This post comes a bit later than my usual posting time but I've just finished shooting a bunch of new outfits. I do apologise for the up and coming moody faces. My face is clearly having one of those days. Moving on this was one of those quick outfits I put together today and I'm loving how it turned out. Moving into winter I'm slowly returning to my monochrome style. I think it always looks great with colourful hair.

OOTD featuring Boohoo and La moda

I thought it was about time to incorporate three of my favourite pieces into an outfit. I love how they all are blend together to give a more grungy look. 

AW14 Blanket Cape Trend

1) Red tartan (£83)2) Monochrome (£24.99)3) Green tartan (£19.99) 4) Contrast cape (£75) 5) Monochrome checked (£24.99) 6) Aztec (£18)

Blanket capes are bang on trend right now, so I thought I'd compile a few of my favourites I've found. So many bloggers are posting about them and if you went to/watched London fashion week I'm sure you saw them crop up quite a lot. I'm loving the monochrome trend as you can tell from my selection but I found quite a few colourful capes as well. They are actually super easy to style and wear. They can look a bit fiddly but they either have a clasps at the top or you can wrap a belt round the centre to create a simple outfit. There are also a few capes with built in sleeves like number 2 which make it even easier to style them. I think they are a great transition from kimonos and will be sticking around for a while. New Look have a large selection right now so it's worth popping in and trying on a few styles and picking which you think suits you best. I've already purchased number 5 and hopefully will purchase a tartan cape later on just to add a bit of colour to my outfits.

I'll posting an outfit featuring my cape very soon. I'm sure blanket capes won't be everyone's cup of tea but I love them. Will you be picking one up for the winter chills?
