Black & White

This is a slightly different post to what I have done so far, but I couldn't resist. 

I take photos everyday and if I'm not, I must be ill. Personally they mean alot to me, and they are something you can keep forever and in just one photo it can hold the greatest memory and you can treasure forever. I've been loving the classic black and white style of pictures lately. I love looking threw family photos and looking back at when my mum was little and seeing the difference in technology, my mum has so many pictures in black and white and they look so pretty. Inspired looking at her photos I wanted to start taking more in that style, here's some below and I even changed a photo of my dad and I when I was little from colour to black and white.

Falling in love

Let's start by saying how amazing H&M is at the moment, I haven't been in there for ages and I could of done a lot of damage to my bank account but contained myself. When looking at the jewellery I noticed the below piece.

For only £6.99 this is such a gorgeous necklace, it would make a plain old t-shirt look more stylish. 

The coins are reversible, one side is heads and the other side is tales. The thick tubes in between each coin makes it more of a statement piece, I personally think without them it would look a little dull. The weight of the necklace is not heavy but it isn't light as a feather, if you get my drift. You also get this in gold but the silver looked more appealing to me. I can see myself wearing this a lot.

Rebel Lips

After a long wait Mac opened in Aberdeen, and i've been trying to have spare minute to pop into town and purchase the Rebel Lipstick from them. I know I could of went online to buy it but I personally don't like to cause half of the time when you receive them they look nothing like the picture on the website. So, when going in to see what it looked liked I loved it and bought it. The shade is gorgeous, I know i'm obsessed with my berry shades at the moment but this is really my favourite.

Superdrug Haul

Went into Superdrug to get a few products I ran out off, and couldn't resist buying a few make-up items (whoops). See below what I purchased.

Hats for Winter

With Winter just around the corner thought it was about time I started wearing hats, so here's some below that I have recently purchased. 

(Left) Grey Hat - Primark (Under £5)

(Middle) Geek/Chic Hat - Matalan £8.00

(Right) Black Hat - New Look (Under £10) 

(Couldn't link Primark as they still don't have a website and New Look don't seem to have that particular hat in stock but they do have others simular)

Hats can be a fashionable statement to wear, especially if your having one of those days where you don't want to do much with your hair. This is probably why I bought the hat "Bad Hair Day' from New look. They do have a variety of different hats, definitely have to go back and purchase more. 

DIOR LIPSTICK

My love for plum lipsticks hasn't gone anywhere, when meeting my mum for a coffee in Debenhams I noticed there was a 10% sale on make-up this immediately caught my interest. The search for an other plum lipstick was alot easier than I thought. I've never actually bought any make-up from Dior so this lipstick was my very first purchase from thier stand, and i'm not disappointed. Lately i've been going for the darker plum shades and this one is more lighter.

Rouge Dior - 786 Mauve Mystere £22.50 (Normally £25.00)

If you've been loving your plum shades like I have, i'm pretty positive that you'll love this colour. It's such a pretty colour on the lips and very pigmented with a slight gloss look. I've worn this alot since I got it and I don't find myself topping up threw the day which I do find you have to do with the drugstore lipsticks. The shade I got was (786) Mauve Mystére I honestly can't hype it up enough. When passing a Dior stand defintely go and try it out. This won't be my last trip to Dior.   

MINI OFFICE CITY BAG

At the weekend I was looking on the Zara website to see if they had any nice handbags and realised they had the office city bag BUT in a mini version in stock, this was a must have in my eyes considering my fiancé bought me the I-pad mini last week and the middle section of this bag has a padded zip area to put an I-pad in. I was going away to Aviemore for the night on Sunday and thought it would be a good idea to run in and grab it before there was non in stock luckily there was one Navy and Grey available, so I purchased the Navy as I feel like it goes with anything.

Zara - Mini Office City Bag £29.99

(Available in Navy, Grey & Burgundy)

I never purchased the regular size office city bag when they came out as they went out of stock when I looked but i'm actually in love with the Mini version it's perfect for me. It has the two handles and the shoulder strap but you can clip this off if you'd prefer. It's got three compartments, like I said above the middle zipped section is padded for something like a regular sized I-pad, but cause I put my mini one inside it also leaves me room to put my diary and camera in. The other section of the bag is just plain to put bits and bobs in and the other side has a pocket for a phone and has a 5 card holder slots, obviously you still have room for other things. For being a mini version you still have loads of room and if you like your bag to be organised it's a good purchase.
