~ MERRY CHRISTMAS ~

This is just a quick little blog post to wish you all a Merry Christmas (if you celebrate it, of course)! I hope that you all have a lovely few days relaxing and chilling out with your family and friends and spoiling them rotten with love and kisses (and presents if you really wanted to go that far… 😉🎁). I thought I’d give a quick mini Polaroid photo shoot a go for today’s post… it’s quite tricky getting the lighting perfect in each one, but I hope you like the idea!

If you’re not with friends or family this Christmas, go out in to your communities and share the love and spirit because that’s what it’s all about… and if you don’t celebrate, I really hope you’re having a lovely holiday nonetheless and are getting excited for the New Year! I’m 16 next year… crazy times, people! Crazy times.

Oh and just so you know, I’m once again wearing my beautiful New Look jumper* (I styled it up over here last Christmas), with a few accessories from the awesome Claire’s*. I’ll definitely be taking a few more silly snaps tomorrow… who knows, maybe Father Christmas will pop some more gorgeous items under my tree? 😏🎅 Who knows… *sigh*

Merry Christmas! Let me know what you’re getting up to and how you’re ringing in 2016, in the comments below…

This Make-Up List is inspired by the Pixiwoo video on Youtube, and it is pretty much what it says on the tin. It is a natural golden Party Make-Up, which is great for the camera. So here it is!…

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream Universal Glow £7.99, Maybelline NY Dream Soft Blush Peach No 2 £6.49, Accessorize Volumising Mascara Jet Black £4.95, Accessorize Merged Eyeshadow Golden Caramel £3.95, MUA Professional Primer £4.00, 2true Plumptuous Lip Gloss No 6 Rose Pink £1.99 & Accessorize Chrome One Coat Nail White Gold £3.45 (All from Superdrug).

This look really needs a light foundation, one which really looks fresh and hydrated, which will look great on camera. It also needs a cream blush, because it will look a lot brighter and a bit more natural. It also involves using a primer, which you can get from MUA. You can also make one yourself, by just mixing Foundation & Moisturiser together in a small container! But, this primer is so affordable, and is totally long lasting. I have seen that this mascara is totally recommended on other fashion & beauty blogs, so I think it is a great one to use.

Happy End Of November, and make sure you have your Advent Calendars ready! <3

Well, this may not be a hit on the Autumn/Winter 12/13 Catwalk, but it is a hit every Christmas time. But! The problem is, how do we work them, when going out and about? How do we turn the embarrassment of having a Rudolph on your jumper, into something which people will think, ‘That looks so cool.’? Well, I am here to solve your fashion problems! Here we go…

Red Christmas Fairisle Jumper £35.00 (River Island)

LOOK 1: Black Denim Amelie Super Skinny Jeans £20.00, Black Stud Boots £40.00 & Red Waffle Snood £15.00.

This style is also hot on the high street so, I have found 3 dresses which have great prices, and have also found 3 accessories which will match the style. I hope you enjoy, and it will get you ready for the ‘Part-aaay’ month 🙂

Jacquard Sheer Panel Dress £55.00 & Jet Chandelier Earrings £12.00 (Warehouse)

The Christmas Decorations will have competition with this dress! Change it up, and instead of Gold, go for Silver. Add these earrings and you’ll stand out from the crowd, for all the right reasons!

Black Metallic Baroque Prom Dress £80.00 & Black Zip Front Peep Toe Heels £70.00 (River Island)

Yes, X Factor Ella Henderson wore this dress! So it’s extra special! I actually spotted her wearing it, and was like ‘Hey, look that’s from River Island.’ Ha. Anyway, I love it and could be used for many other special occasions. Add it with these peep toe heels, for a bit more sophistication.

Embellished Jacquard Dress by Rare £49.00 & SOLO Bow Back Court Platforms £65.00 (Topshop)

I love this dress because it is so easy to work. These Bow Back shoes, look so elegant, and all you need to do is add black tights! This dress is also perfect for curvier women, as it brings them out in the best way possible!

This is my first Christmas Gift Guide and it is from a Girly Girl, for other who love pink and flowery patterns… (Yes, that’s my definition).

Feelin’ Dandy Lip & Cheek Kit £24.50 (Benefit Cosmetics), Neom Real Luxury Scented Candle, Lavender, Jasmine & Brazilian Rosewood, 3 Wick £39.50 (John Lewis)
Ballerina Wave Cushion Cover £8.99 (Dunelm Mill) & Karen Millen Pencil Dress with Lace Detail £190 (ASOS)

I hope you get some inspiration, and also thanks to the Girly Girl who gave me things to put in this guide 😉
