My Favourites ATM

Hi guys, I thought I'd write you a 'My Favourites ATM' post so that you can see what I've been loving lately and why.
  1. Starbucks Hot Chocolate- When I went to Mojacar in October, on the plane I had a Starbucks hot chocolate. I hadn't had one of these before- well not for a very long time anyway, and let me just tell you it was sooo good! That good that I had one on the returning flight as well. It was just so creamy and smooth and chocolately. mmm.
  2. Cheryl Fernandez Versini- I first started to listen to Cheryl when I was in my last year at Primary School when she had her singles 'Fight For This Love' and 'Promise This'. She was like the only person I would listen to apart from Kelly Clarkson. So when she brought out her new album obviously I was going to want to have a cheeky listen. When I first heard 'Crazy Stupid Love' I new the songs on her album were going to be great. who couldn't love that catchy tune? 'I Don't Care' is also great for when somebody has either annoyed you or your in a bad mood. An instant pick-me up :L Well done Cheryl!!! The links to both 'Crazy Stupid Love' and 'I Don't Care' will be below.
  3. Gossip Girl- Not very long ago I got Netflix which led to my discovery of Gossip Girl. Oh my goodness, I am addicted. Every episode is full of twists and turns of 'Manhattans Elite'. My ship ends up changing every 2 minutes. One minute you want Nate and Jenny to get together and then you want Vanessa and Nate. I'm on season 4 already... It's safe to say I am well and truly hooked.
  4. Frozen- I know I'm a bit late to join the hype about this one (more like nearly a year late) but I watched this a few weeks back and I can't get enough. My favourite character is probably Olaf because he is just so witty, funny and adorable. Isn't that like every kids dream though, that their snowman will come to life? He's just so cute! But remember guys, some people are worth melting for. :')
  5. Oversized Coats- I'm a sucker for anything that's oversized but I have been particularly loving the over sized coats that have been in this season. I've particularly been loving the pale blue and pink ones. I don't have one yet but I'm hoping to get one closer to Christmas.
  6. Pinterest- I've been really loving Pinterest ATM and have been trying to get into it more. I've made some new boards and there are even some that show sneak peaks of my future blog posts. You could have a look if you want, the link will be below.
  7. MaxFactor Eyeshadow- I'm been trying to experiment with my eye makeup recently and begun to LOVE this 'MaxFactor' eyeshadow in shade 'Earth Spirit'. I have no idea how it ended up in my makeup bag or even if this shade is still continued. But I have been absolutely loving this rose gold, slightly glittery miracle.
  8. Rimmel Lipstick - And seeing as it's Autumn my dark lipsticks seemed to have snuck back into my makeup bag. My favourite one is Rimmel's dark, red almost purple colour in shade 128-Starry eyed. I usually wear this with a classic cat eye, teaming this with my 50s style glasses completes the modern, retro look.
  9. Collection 2000 Concealer- And finally my last favourite is the Collection 2000 concealer which I have been using none stop at the moment. It just gives great coverage; a must have! Although I now may have to repurchase it as the shade that I have now is too dark for my winter complexion.
 
 Thanks for taking the time to read this folks, really appreciate it. Originally, this post was going to be a kind of Autumn-fashion-go-to-outfit type thing but after trying to take photos of my outfit after school with a friend we realised that the pictures were not coming out as good as they would do if it was daytime and so you can have the pleasure of looking forward to that post next week.
All my love,
Leah-Marie xo

My Favorite Autumn Outfit

Seeing as though it's my favourite season I thought I'd share with you what I'm loving to wear in these chilly months. The look below is smart casual and is very easy to dress up or down. In the pictures I have obviously gone for a casual look and I would probably wear this when going to do a bit of shopping or if I'm going out with my friends.
 





 
I really like this outfit as it's perfect for those days when it's sweater weather in the morning but by mid day your needing a trusty t-shirt. And if you still wanted to go with this style but wanted to keep a little warmer you could add, thicker tights, a parka and a cute beanie. Don't be scared to layer this outfit up!
 
I really enjoyed making this post, if you want to see more posts like this; more photos then please drop me  comment below :) On Sunday this week I'm going to see Ed Sheeran Live so expect a post from me on Monday or Tuesday telling you all about my what-I-hope-to-be amazing night

hats, hats, hats

So it's coming up to Autumn (if it's not already here) and so I've been looking online for various Autumn/Winter accessories and oh my goodness I am really loving all the different sorts of hats and capes and wrap overs and scarves. I JUST LOVE AUTUMN CLOTHING
 
I've never really been someone to wear hats, I've been told they suit me but I haven't actually worn them much. But I am really loving Fedora's and Cloche hats. Omg. I am in love. I can guarantee pretty soon you'll be seeing a hat haul from me.
 
I'm also loving the winter transition from the summer-must-have kimonos to the winter-wrap-up capes. I think they are so pretty and elegant. They just look like they would make you feel like a movie star sauntering around New York carrying really big shopping bags. I don't know, that's just what I think of when I see them.
 
I really want a classic black leather bag this winter aswell. I just can't wait to do an Autumn haul.

The Autumnal Tag

I saw this tag floating about on a few blogs and decided that I would do it. The main reason being that I love Autumn, from the changing colour of the leaves and unplanned walks to cosying up on the sofa with a mug of hot chocolate with the idea that Halloween is close and Christmas is almost in your grasp.
 
1. What's your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks/Costa/Nero etc.?
I do have to admit that I aren't very adventurous when it comes to trying different drinks from coffee shops. And I also don't like coffee that much or tea. So I usually stick to the Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino's from Starbucks or Hot Chocolate. Let's face it Hot Chocolate is like the perfect hot drink for Autumn time.
 
2. Accessories- what do you opt for scarves, boots, gloves?
Layers. layers. layers. Layers is the way to go. I usually wear dresses with thick tights, long scarves, parka coats, mittens (aren't mittens like the cutest things ever?) and bobble hats. This season I am particularly loving ankle and Chelsea boots. I think they are really pretty but also and some sort of masculinity to your outfit.
 
3. Music- What's your favourite type of music to listen to during Autumn?
I don't think I change my music taste in autumn but there are certain bands and artists that remind e of autumn as I began listening to their music then or discovered their album. Bands such as Little Mix and The Courteeners. Very different- I know but hey ho. Other  than that the usual Christmas songs have to make an appearance towards the end of Autumn start of Winter.
 
4. Perfume- What's your favourite scent for this time of year?
I don't really have a favourite scent for this time of year. But this autumn I would really like to experiment with a new scent.
 
5. Candles- What scents will you be burning this season?
I really like Yankee Candle's Merry Marshmallow tea lights. They smell like baking and that is exactly what you want your house to smell like when it's chilly outside. I also have a mulled wine spicy scented candle that remains me of Christmas.
 
6. What do you love most about Autumn?
I love the excitement and magic that Autumn brings. The chilly nights where the weather's not fit for anything apart from staying inside, curling up on the sofa and watching multiple films with hot chocolate. The days where you can stroll through local parks and kick the crisp, fallen leaves with your feet. Where you can wrap yourself up in so many layer sand then head out shopping in the autumn chill with friends or family.
 
7. Favourite make-up look?
My favourite make-up look for Autumn is a simple cat eye and a bold dark lip. Or a smoky eye with a nude lipstick. Something simple but elegant and pretty.
 
8. What are you looking forward to the most this Autumn?
This Autumn I am mostly looking forward to the clothes. Don't you think autumn clothes are always the best? And spending time with friends and family during Halloween and Christmas. Also, going to see Ed Sheeran in October. However, I'm sorry Ed October will always be known as Nina Nesbitt's month to me :)

I tag everyone who has taken the time to read this as I am extremely grateful that you have; Thank you.
