'A whole lot of knee'

Hello Everyone !

So Recently I've found myself getting into ripped jeans, and even used a old pair of jeans to creat a ripped jeans look. And might I add that considering my ability with a needle and thread I think I did pretty good. So I thought I would show you guys some of my favorite looks featuring ripped jeans. 

These can be super casual..

Or layered with a coat, scarf, beanie, etc. 

Whether you prefer denim ripped jeans or black skinny ripped jeans I feel like both styles are staple Items and I will definitely be on the look out for more. 

What's your favorite look? 

Love you lots !

My Favorite Winter Looks

Hello Everyone!

So winter is my all time favorite time of the year. The weather is cooler, they play Christmas music 24/7 on the radio, and not to mention the lights that get strung EVERYWHERE! Fashion ,one of my favorite topics, gets really hard to shop for because of all the madness that comes along with the holidays or stores get closed down, the lots. So I like to get some things here and there from shops and then make outfits with those things so I can really get experimentative. Without further adieu, here are some of my favorite winter looks that I will be looking for as a stencil. 

Minimal colors + booties

Tights + black ankle boots 

Long Messy hair 

Fashion staples 

Cute rain boots + grey coats

Skinnies + long coats 

Ankle boots + beanies 

Hope you liked this posts of my favorite winter things. 

What are somethings that you guys love during the winter?

Anything that you guys are in the search for, fashion wise?

Love you lots!

My Fashion Icons

Hello Everyone! 

We all go through these stages of fashion, and that's totally normal because to truly find your unique style you need to experiment a bit. Here are a few of my style icons that have influenced my style. 

Eleanor Calder

She is so gorgeous and doesn't really try to find things that are flashy. She always sticks to minimal and monochrome and then adds little to no make up. Naturally, gorgeous! 

Danielle Bernstein

I actually found out about her through Eleanor. Danielle runs a fashion blog called weworewhat and always dresses so nice! Once again Danielle doesn't dress over the top, but she does dress different and I like that she doesn't dress cookie-cutter. 

Danielle Peazer

Danielle Peazer always looks fabulous when she goes out with friends. She's really good about pairing accessories together and making sure that it's not too much. Natural make up and curly hair is the key for her, and she looks stunning. 

Zoe Sugg

There is absolutely no secret that Zoe (aka Zoella ) is well known to people who watch Tanya, Louise, Alfie, etc. Her style is a bit like Danielle B. and Eleanor's mixed together. I love her makeup during the winter especially when she adds cranberry eye shadow or bold lipstick to make her outfits more 'fancy' in a way. She also has a favorite orangey shade that she puts with her outfits during the summer. Zoe is my 'go to' so to speak for makeup if I want to try something new or figure out how she does hers. 

Tanya Burr

I love watching Tanya's 'makeup tutorials' and 'get ready with me's' on YouTube. She's such a good makeup artist and recently can't out with a beauty line and I could me more excited for her! 

Gabby (velvetgh0st )

I love Gabby's makeup which is similar to Zoe's. Her outfits are a bit more girly and include a lot of pink. I'm not a big fan of pink but I do like how she puts things together. 

Hopefully you guys like this and if you have any questions or comments feel free to ask. 

Love you lots!

I went to LUSH!

Hello Everyone!

This post is long overdue but I was given the chance to spend a couple of days in Seattle Washington, and if it weren't for the crowds of people and the sales tax (grrrr.. No fun) I would probably move there. The weather was so pretty when I went there and the buildings were so tall. 

During my trip I went shopping (no surprise) and I was blown away at how many high-end stores there were. It was like a paradise for me. I went into Mac for the first time ever and nearly had a heart attack because I wanted everything, then when I was done in there I stumbled upon lush. And let me say I had only heard about lush through a couple of you tubers ( i.e. Zoella and Tanya Burr ) when they would do beauty hauls or talk about their favorites so I had to get something there. I love how their company is so environmentally friendly and the shop smelled like heaven. 

I bought a bath bomb called Avobath .  This is perfect for feeling energized just "Splash about in the shimmery green waters and let the fresh avocados and olive oil soften you up and leave you with softer, supple skin". 

I also wanted to try out their face masks so after talking to an employee I decided in one called BB Seaweed . I have normal combination skin so I wanted something that was mainly moisturizing and this is perfect for sensitive skin; "this locally-harvested, nutrient-rich seaweed nourishes the skin, while finely ground almonds ever-so-gently exfoliate leaving skin perfectly smooth. [They] use a generous [helping] of aloe vera gel and rose absolute to calm and soothe sensitive spots, and a gorgeous combination of honey and olive oil to moisturize".

Fashion Review: Back-to-school

Hello Everyone! 

So schools upon us and I am in no way of a hurry to speed the days up. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do to to soften the blow of 'back-to-school' shopping so I thought I would share some of my favorite beauty things that would be perfect for school as well. 

DISSCLAIMER: I'm sorry for anyone who goes to more of a conservative school or a school that you might have to wear a uniform. You might have to make it work around the rules of your school. 

Watches? You may ask, yes they are not the most exciting thing but they spruce up any outfit. And keep you aware of the time, which is extremely important for someone like me who tend to be a bit late very often. 

(Not my picture) 

Half up Half down Too knot Bun wow I could do a whole post about this hairstyle. This is literally one of my favorite go-to lazy day hairstyle besides a messy bun. You can do these several different ways and make them look more clean cut or curl your hair, put sea salt or hairspray for texture and body or straighten your hair, but u much or gore a natural messy look like the picture above.

(Not my picture) 

Another shoe favorite the SHANTAE BLACK SNAKESKIN PRINT PUMPS  from missguided. These are so cute, goes with anything and I love how they just slip right on. Because sometimes you need to rush out real fast and don't want to bother putting on tennis shoes. 

Nail polish! So I have been wearing mainly these three colors on my hands and toes and I just think they match my pale complexion quite nicely. 

 What are some favorites that you have been loving? 

I hope all of you have a good day, and as always lots of love!

School Essentials for summer

School Essentials for summer by laurenkdd featuring Topshop

Bits and Bobs

Hello Everyone! 

So this is little haul of things that I had gotten recently. My birthday had passed and I got money for babysitting so u decided to put all the things together and make another beauty haul. I love hauls, honestly didn't matter what kind of haul it is I find my self being sucked in. It also gives me a chance to see what others are enjoying as well. 

Beaded chunky necklace I've always wanted to get a chunky necklace because these are supper easy to make an old sweatshirt and a pair of jeans look more put together. These are also good to wear with a black pen oak skirt and a pastel cami for going out to dinner or possibly a business meeting. 

Grey v-neck top This is just a simple top to wear for a lazy day, but you could also pair it with some heels and make it look more dressy. 

Black lace cami (similar to the Lace Insert Cami  from Topshop) once again this an Item I have wanted for the longest time. I think this cami is so pretty and could go with anything really. 

NARS Foreplay Orgasm Cheek Palette  & NARS 'Angelique' lip gloss I saw the blush palate in a beauty favorites from Gabrielle (aka Velvet Ghost)  and she gave it a good review so I thought I would try it as well. Plus I really like the brand NARS so I was bound to get it at some point. 

Mix No. 6 Ricky Bootie shoes  (similar to the ASOS ATTACK Leather Cut Out Gladiator Ankle Boots ) from DSW Oh my gosh I don't know what to say about these shoes. I don't know if you know this but I have somewhat of a shoe obsession so this store was like paradise. I had never really heard of this store before but I had gotten a gift card to DSW and if you have a shoe obsession like me you have to check out this store.  As soon as I found these I knew I had to get them. These were actually on sale plus they gave me an additional % off because I bought them around my birthday so I got these super cheap and I absolutely love them to pieces !  

I really hope you guys liked this post and I hope I don't come across rude or showboat in any way. I wanted to share my goodies and maybe give you guys sine ideas too. Well I hope you guys have a good day, and as always lots of love!
