New Mac And A Bit Of Tack.

Hey guys!

So after the past few days I've been shopping and kind of bankrupted myself. But what hurts more than the fact that I'm now extremely broke, is the fact that everything I bought was to wear at work :( Since I work in a school most of the stuff I wear is extremely boring so I won't bother showing you all that...but I will show you the couple of things I got that weren't work related. 

First up is...

MAC Blot Powder (Pressed) in 'Deep Dark' - £20

Since Spring has finally sort of started, my oily face has tumbled out of control. It actually got so shiny that people started to use my skin as a reflective surface in which they would use to reapply their lipstick. I joke. But anyway, I went into MAC looking for some sort of powder to keep it at bay. I thought I would need a translucent powder but the sales assistant recommended that I try the blot powder and tried some on my face. I'm not going to do a review of it right now since I've only worn it twice, but from what I can see right now it's pretty amazing. It completely changed the look of my face and kept the oil away for hours. I used it to set my foundation in the morning and hardly needed to reapply during the day. The only thing I would say is that I wouldn't use the puff they give you to apply it...it leaves quite a heavy/cakey look. Use a powder brush instead for more natural looking results.

I also bought...

ASOS Horse Detail Purse - £7.50 (sale)

So this may very well be the tackiest thing EVER and that's why I like it. It's red, it's faux gold, faux leather...but instead of being sick I just had the biggest grin on my face when I first saw it. I don't even particularly like horses but I'm in love with his. It's also the first non-River Island purse I've had in around 5 years so it makes a really nice change. Please don't judge me lol

Hope you enjoyed reading! 

"Hey Mama" OOTD

Hey guys!

Two posts in one day, I'm on a roll! 

So this is what I wore today for Mother's Day...it's a look I've never really done before but I think I might try it out more often since I got such a good reaction to it :) How can I describe it? I think it's quite preppy, but then of course I had to trash it out with a bold lip and gold hoops lol. 

I'm wearing:

- My sister's Oxford St. Johns College sweatshirt

- White shirt from River Island

- Jeans from River Island

- Cut out wedges from ASOS

I hope you like!!! :)

Dungaree Dilemma.

So I have a massive problem. Ok it's not massive, and on a scale from 1 to natural disaster it's really not a problem. But it's fashion and fashion consumes my life.

I really, really, REALLY want a pair of dungarees. But as soon as I told my mum this, she laughed in my face and told me that they were for those with smaller boobs and that there's no way on earth that they would suit me...bear in mind I'm a 32H. 

In the back of mind I completely agreed with her, but the other side of me, the stupid side, still really wants them...I'm sure I could figure out a way to wear them without looking like an oversized baby with massive breasts. Let me know if you have any ideas? 

Here are a couple of my ideas:

Smart

Dungarees: River Island

Shirt: Asos

Boots: Asos

Casual

Dungarees: River Island

Crop Top: Topshop

Necklace: Topshop

I still don't know if I'll get away with it, but I'm damn sure going to try!

The Day Beyonce Ruined My Life OOTD

So it started off as a really bad day for me...like millions of others, for three days straight I've been trying and failing to get Beyonce tickets. Today was my final chance and I still had no luck, which means that throughout late April/early May I will be dead to the world because I know all the pictures and videos of Beyonce swishing her flawless weave will make my heart bleed.

So what do I always do to cheer myself up? Well apart from eating cheesecake the answer is always shopping. So I dragged myself out of bed to go to Brent Cross with my mum and this is what I wore...

I know, I know...I'm wearing all black again but right now I think it's just the easiest thing to do. Since I couldn't exactly wear the sweatshirt with a pair of tracksuit bottoms, I gave it a little twist by mixing sporty and sexy together. Sometimes my favourite things to wear are the things that make no sense on paper, but make so much sense when you put them on.

I'm wearing:

- Educate Elevate Fist Sweatshirt

- ASOS Maxi Skirt with Thigh High Split

- Primark Floral Patterned Tights

- Nike Blazers

Hope you like and there'll be a post coming up tomorrow about the purchases I made :) 

Getting My Malcolm On OOTD

Hey guys!

The outfit I wore today is so simple but I love it. Mostly because it's all black and there's almost something powerful about wearing all black,  harking back to the Black Panthers (and the fact that it's slimming also helps).  But knowing me, I couldn't resist adding a 90's touch to it by adding a gold chain and my brothers oversized Adidas jumper.

I also did my hair this week. I was inspired by Akilah's post on making a u-part wig so I did that with the same hair I had before, only I bleached and dyed my hair red and used a needle and thread instead of glue. I was so scared to dye my hair because I've never been another colour, although you could say I chickened out because I didn't do the whole head lol. It doesn't look as bright as it does in the pictures, I think my camera just picks up colour really well.

And oh yeah...the white specks in some of the pictures are snow!

I'm wearing:

- Adidas jumper (my brother's)

- ASOS polo neck dress

- River Island faux gold chain

- New Look black plimsolls
