21st Century Housewife






I didn't mean to become a walking Topshop ad when I put this outfit together but I just loved how each piece complemented the other. I do have to say I wear this jumper ALL the time! Simply because I just love its pastel colour and fabric texture. It reminds me of when clothes become old and worn and start to pill or bobble but being the trend setters that they are, Topshop have turned the fashion faux pas on its head and have created the latest must have item. Obviously I added some gems to this little number as what would your outfit be without some fake jewels ;) My necklace was actually £5 RRP which I think is a bargain when it comes to statement necklaces which normally come with hefty price tags nowadays. Seriously, don't be ashamed, go into your nearest Primark & have a search for cheap & cheerful jewelry that you can wear over & over 

Going for a girly look, I decided to match it with this midi lace floral skirt with a mini skirt petticoat. I think it makes the outfit more flirty as it comes across intriguing to the eye and brings wonder to the imagination. Staying within the theme of pastels and mixed textures I had to wear my treasured pink swing boyfriend coat. It's actually sad that this coat will only be 'fashionable' for this season because I plan to wear it forever! Its fluffy AND its pink! Like seriously, what more could you ask for!

No Scrubs





So today I'm channeling my inner TLC. I see myself more like Chile compared to any other members...lol, what do you think? 

I wanted to show you guys these comfy cool joggers that I've paired with a few basic items to give a urban yet chic look.  

I'm not about to fool anyone and advise wearing this during the day because we all know it's freeeeeezing outside but this look is something I'd wear on a casual night with my girls :) The trick is to only show a little bit of skin whilst still staying warm! And because these joggers are so lightweight they're perfect for if you just wanna 2-step and side shuffle or if you want to get low and impress with that twerk you've been practicing

Enjoy your weekend doll! xx

Get Ready with Me: How I Do My Brows

So as it's Sunday I thought I'd do a relaxed blog post for you all. For some reason I always get complimented on my eyebrows, not really sure because I think they're quite basic lol! But for those of you who want to know how to do them or if your just looking for a few tips then scroll on down!

I always do this routine when I haven't plucked my eyebrows in aaaaaaggges! & in this case ages is about a couple months...I know...the shame! Here are the tools I use to attack my bushes:
  Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in 004 (Black Brown)
Slanted Edged Brush (TopShop)
Blending Brush (TopShop)
Mac Concealer in NC50

First off I start by brushing out my brows to make sure they're in the right position & to tame out the bushiness! Also make sure your pencil is sharp! Then outline the shape you want your brows to take. (Apologies for these pictures being cropped...my morning face isn't too attractive!)
Then fill in, or as some of my guy friends like to say, "colour in" the existing brow that you've just created. I don't like to fill mine in from the very beginning as I think it gives a more natural look when my whole face is put together. Then get your pencil brush and just brush out any harsh lines to make them look soft and natural. 
After you've softened up your brows, I like to do this next step to clean them up which is always useful if you haven't plucked, waxed or threaded in a while like me! Just like when you outlined your brows using your pencil your going to do exactly that but just with your slanted brush and concealer. 
Then just blend your concealer outward so it can be blended in with your skin & foundation.

Then just complete the rest of your makeup! Simple as that really!
 I AM IN NO WAY A PROFESSIONAL! 
Just sharing my little tip with you guys! Although with all the close ups in this post I think I need to get my eyebrows done ASAP LOL! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday beauties! xxx
