8 Affordable Spring 2019 Transitional looks

I’m back with a few simple, super affordable, transitional outfits to get you into those slightly warmer days!

Spring has surely been on my mind these past few days, we have had a bit more sun although it’s been chilly... that warm touch of vitamin d on your face just seems to make everything feel that little bit better, don’t you agree?

So with out further ado here are some of my fave transitional pieces I will be wearing this spring!

Jumper: Quiz

Jeans: Newlook

Boots: Topshop

First up is actually an outfit i wore just a few days ago, adding a wool coat and a hat it kept me toasty and warm, but because the sun was out and it was a still day i was able to take my coat off for a few shots! A jumper but a cute fun jumper...with jeans and my fave Topshop sock boots (that go with absolutely everything, throw on a hat and you have yourself that perfect look!

T-shirt- Primark

Jeans- Topshop

Boots- Clarks

Blouse- Shein

If you love layering then this one is easy for you, a simple white t-shirt with jeans and layer with a blouse or cardigan, to keep you chill free, plus you can easily remove and add when you need too!

Jeans, Jumper and bag- Newlook

Boots- Dorothy Perkins

This outfit is one of my faves! This jumper is so fun to wear with the oversize knit sleeves and its pink! keeping it light with some ripped knee mom jeans and some white ankle boots to put a spring in my step!

Dress- Primark

Boots-Sam Edelman

Add a bit of fun to a simple floral dress! Ankle boots with dresses are my favorite pieces to wear together in those warmer days.  I put on a hairband to add a little something to my low bun hairstyle.

Bag- Shein

Sandals- Vince Camuto

This beautiful jumper makes an appearance a few times in this post.  It is another favorite of mine and perfect for that transition item to throw on with jeans and sandals or ankle booties. 

Skirt- Quiz
Boots- Peacocks
Jumper- Boohoo

Animal print was a big trend in 2018 and it looks like its here to stay for 2019 too.  This wrap skirt is gorgeous with boots or heels or flats! you can wear a t-shirt, or a jumper or a blouse.  What ever way you want to style

Trouser- Boohoo

Leather jacket- Zara

Keep it simple with a white tee...plain t shirts are great for chucking on with almost anything.  Add some khaki trousers and a leather jacket for a edgy rock chick look! 

Jeans- M&S

Boots- Showpo

Here's that jumper again...no but for serious i feel like i can wear it with anything! White jeans are not just for spring/summer anymore and where very much a big thing Winter 2018! I love these peep toe booties, they are a perfect in between sandal and boot!

That's the lot, i really hope you enjoyed reading and that you got some inspiration for adding your own twist on some similar looks! I'd love to know your thoughts, please leave a comment below!

Review: Eylure Brow Pencil in Mid Brown Nø 20

So lets talk eyebrows, as we all know, our brows these days are just as important as mascara! It means so much to us if we can get them perfect at least 3 times a week right? Because if you are like me there are days that i just don't have the patience and will be walking out the door talking to my eyebrows like they try to sabotage me on purpose "why? why do you do this to me?".  Anyway, enough of the dramatics and back to this post.

For a long time i have stuck with the same brow pencil from the B. range from Superdrug in shade Hazel...it done me, i always liked the colour and it suited my natural brow colour perfectly (as i am quite dark naturally, putting a dark brown pencil on top of my natural brows just made me look like i stuck my face in a coal bucket..). Until, one rainy day i ran out and when i went to buy a new one, they where sold out!!!

After about an hour and a thousand swatches of brow pencils later, i finally settled on the Eylure pencil in Mid Brown number 20.  I fell in love with the true brown shade and the slightly waxy finish. 

It is so easy to work with even more than the B. pencil and the brush is twisty wire brush rather than the comb style brush that most pencils have which leaves a beautiful natural finish (see swatch  and finish below).

I will definitely be buying this pencil again and i think this will be my new go to pencil, and for less than £6  i am a super happy girl with amazing eyebrows! POW! At least i think so anyway ;)

You can find this brow pencil here! and at Superdrug.  Let me know if you have tried this brand or any others you can recommend to me.

Thanks for reading.

Current Beauty Favourites

I have been away for a while...but all for a good reason! I got married!! On the 8th of September 2015 i married my soul mate and best friend in the whole world!  So the past year has been busy focusing on planning, table arrangements, cakes, flowers and everything else that comes along with what definitely was the best day of my life so far! 

I am back with my current beauty faves at the minute.  I have been glued to all my favourite and some new blogs (including Hellooctober, icovetthee, Sazan) looking for new products to try and i wanted to see if anyone else is going mad for the same lipstick as me.

For the longest time i have been obsessed with lipstick queen, and today is no different, in any shade, but my mains are the silky reds that give your lips colour but keep them a little shiny at the same time...kind of like a lipstick lip gloss mix.  

Makeup Forever HD: shade 120, Y245
Nars concealer: Vanilla
Nars Dual Blush: Frenzy
Hourglass: Dim light
Lipstickqueen: Sunny Rouge
Kiko Mascara: Black

Another gem is the Hourglass dim light, this miracle powder uses a special formula to blur out pores and wrinkles! it really does the trick!  I apply this to my under eyes and T zone are mainly, i also can use this to set my concealer if i am pushed for time on days where I am running out the door with one shoe one...(no really... this actually happened).

Makeup forever HD i think most people have tried, it is the perfect balance of shade and colour to match your skin tone and look amazing in photos! I also like to mix this with my double wear (just a tiny tiny bit) to cool down the pinky tones that i think is in all shades no matter if it is cool warm or neutral.  

Nars...thats all i have to say.  Love it love it love it! the concealer lasts me for ever, the shade i use is vanilla to highlight at the same time.  My new favourite blush is the dual intensity in Frenzy, it has a peachy blush colour and a gold shimmer so you can glam up your cheeks!

Last on my list is a new discovery while on our honeymoon.  Verona... the beautiful little city opened my eyes to some new brands and Kiko is like Christmas and birthdays all at once!  The products are pretty damn awesome and super reasonable in price.  I picked up this Volumizing and Lengthening Mascara for just €7.95!!! It works wonders, i would say it has a similar brush to the Benefit they're real mascara and isn't far off the finish either.

What is your favourites at the minute?

Feels good to be back!

Thanks for reading :)

Once we receive the final edits of our wedding photos i will do a little post on our magical day... so look out for that!!
