Lets starts off with I'VE FINALLY GOT MY BLOGGING BUTT BACK INTO BLOGGING! Long time no blog. I really do need to keep up with this, it's just so easy getting caught up in university assignments, exams, more assignments and then WORK WORK WORK! 

If you've been following me on Instagram lately, you'll realise I have been pretty obsessed with the colour white, grey and black! The colour black is taking over my life- Literally! Black is modest but arrogant at the same time. Black is lazy and easy- but mysterious. But above all black says 'I don't bother you, don't bother me' WORD! 

Maxi cardigans are my thing right now. You will not see me without one on. It just adds that extra bit of class to any look. The grey fur gilet on top was pure genius. It gave it that half-fur, half-knitted cardigan look, something you would see in ZARA/ALL SAINTS but at half the price from TheCloset. The jumper was just thrown on, along with the Necklace stacking, another thing I am super obsessed with, NECKLACES. Stacks on stacks on stacks. 

Baby' It's My Birthday!

Sequin Maxi Dress From River Island £125

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! 

TBH I always find when it comes to picking a birthday dress, every year, I tend to leave it last minute. And surprise surprise that's exactly what I did this year. I literally left it 2 days before my birthday! Luckily For me, I had some sort of idea of the style of dress I wanted to wear, my heart was set on a maxi dress and so my search began. It basically started and ended at River Island! I ABSOLUTELY fell in LOVE with this sequin maxi dress (As seen on Tamera on Xfactor) but HATE the price tag. The dress was stunning and just as I imagined, even more stunning on.

Long time no blog? I'm basically a mad women at the moment trying to sort my life out! I have recently just relaunched my shop in Bradford town, fully loaded with gorgeous Autumn/Winter staple pieces. And yes fingers crossed for the launch of my website this Friday girls! Sooo much to do, such little time to do it in. 

 www.closetfashionwear.co.uk 

Boots, leathers and knit season has dawned upon us. yesss. It's that time of year! So I'm basically a walking talking advertisement of my shop. My nude knitted waterfall cardigan has to be one of my favourite fall pieces, I have it in 3 colours; black, beige and navy. LOVE IT! Thrown on top of my stripe cut out dress, how cute is this dress though? The design is simple but perfect to dress up or down depending on the occasion. Shoe love is true love! Pink boots?! yesss. I do like to stand out. NUDE is in HUUUUGGGGEE this season, and what better way to make a statement than to whack a pair of nude pink studded boots on your feet! 

The Balm- Mary Lou Manizer

First things first, let me just rave about how beautiful the packaging is on this product. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE!

Highlighters might seem like an 'extra' step in your makeup routine, but if you're like me you will agree that its an essential staple piece to have in your makeup kit. I have loads of different face highlighters such as liquids, creams, powders and bronzing highlighters, but my favourite highlighter- Mary Lou-Manizer a champagne coloured, powder highlighter has to be one of my all time favourite products from The Balm. 

So what's so good about this product? For starters, the texture is smooth, soft like butter and extremely pigmented. This honey coloured luminzer is the perfect hint of glow to highlight your face for flawless glowing skin, you can also use it as a shadow for popping out your eyes, brow bone or add it on top of your blush for a sexy glowing shimmer. 

Naked Palette 2 DUPE Vs MUA Undress Me Too Palette

MUA released a palette called Undress Me Too and it is a DUPE of the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette. The urban decay is a pricey palette for £36, whereas the MUA dupe comes at a fraction of the price- £4.

This Urban Decay Palette is pricey (£36), but amazing nonetheless. I had my eye on this palette for awhile now. I wanted a palette with neutral colours and this delivers just that! Naked Palette 2 is a stunning collection of 12 taupe and beige eye shadows plus 5 brand new bonus extras. This collection delivers subtle neutral looks, smokey dramatic eyes and everything in between. Naked Palette 2 also comes with a travel sized Lip Junkie Lip Gloss and a double ended, cruelty free Good Karma shadow and crease brush – exclusive to this palette. Packaged in an art school inspired tin with hinged lid, the Naked Palette 2 is definitely a beauty experience you don’t want to miss out on!

Here are swatches of all the shades on my arm; As you can see the colours are super pigmented (Left To Right).

• Foxy - Cream bisque with matte finish.
• Half Baked - Golden bronze shimmer.
• Booty Call - Shimmering cork.
• Chopper - Copper shimmer with silver micro glitter.
• Tease - Creamy pale brown with a matte finish.
• Snakebite - Dark metallic bronze shimmer.
• Suspect - Pale golden beige shimmer
• Pistol - Light grey/brown shimmer.
• Verve - Oyster shimmer.
• YDK - Cool bronze metallic shimmer.
• Busted - Deep brown shimmer.
• Blackout - Blackest black with matte finish.

The MUA palette, as you can see, there really is no difference between the Urban Decay shades and these. Made up of 12 warm and timeless shades. I can honestly say I cant even see any difference in quality, I always use a good eye shadow primer and as long as you apply this first, the colours last equally as long. The pigmentation in the colours are the same but I do think the shadows are of a more creamier consistency as opposed to the Naked 2 which is a lot lighter to apply. Again this collection delivers subtle neutral looks and transform your minimalist day look into a sexy smokey dramatic eye in an instant. 

Here are swatches of all the shades on my arm; As you can see the colours are super pigmented (Left To Right).

• Naked
• Devotion
• Shy
• Fiery
• Lavish
• Dreamy
• Tranquil
• Exposed
• Reveal
• Wink
• Obsessed
• Corrupt

These palettes are definitely worth owning, you get a versatile mix of hues in both matte, silk and shimmer finishes. The only thing I do love about the Naked 2 Palette is the packaging and tin it comes in, whereas the MUA palette I am less fond of the packaging. Nevertheless I cant wait to play around with both. I will post some looks up girls so keep an eye out. 

Bring Out Your Inner Snake

Black Long Length Blazer From Zara £29.99 (ON SALE)

Jumper from TheCloset £22

Berry Jeggings from TheCloset 

Heels 'Jungle Snake' from Stylettox

Chanel Brooch from Beeauty_Box

So I was recently sent these bad boy heels 'Jungle Snake' from Stylettox. A new Italian brand for shoe addicts, every shoe is inspired by nature and city style in a perfect mix. Created by the jewellery designer Anna Pia Berti. So I was pretty excited to receive my first pair! 

'High Heels High Hopes'

I cannot emphasise how much I LOVE these heels! The heel itself is amazing, but the print and blend of colours- brown and green is what makes this heel exquisite. Due to such neutral colours being used, I can pretty much bang these statement heels on with any outfit, so I can guarantee you'll be seeing a lot more of them on my blog! Although these heels look ridiculously high, they are by far the most comfiest heels I own. A perfect, key staple heel for an evening out, bound to catch eyes! 

I literally through this outfit together this morning, I decided to keep the look simple and tones neutral because I wanted to show you just how much the right pair of heels can make an outfit and 'badabing badabang, here you have it'... I decided to go with a jungle theme so the leopard print scarf worked well with the snake print heels. The berry jeggings complimented the heels well and the blazer was just thrown on top for extra layers! 

I'm quite busy this month, and I am super excited to announce I will be reopening TheCloset Boutique within the next week! I have some incredible pieces coming out and I literally cannot wait to share them with you.

Orange Hermes Slippers And Orange Hermes Bag- PRICEY BADBOYS

So I've had an outfit stuck in my head for the last few days now, and finally managed to rock it out! I've been waiting to pull out these Orange badboys for awhile now. And Voila here they are! I LOVE colour popping, especially when the suns out. If wearing colour is a crime- arrest me now! These granny slippers are by far the most comfiest pair of shoes I own.

I decided to go for the classic black and white look. I picked up these gorgeous velvet printed leggings from Topshop on Sale- just my luck they had my size in! Usually small sizes sell out fast and when that happens I opt for the *oversized* look. The blazer is probably my best buy this year! I've been looking for long length blazers, and like I said In my previous post *SIMPLE* I managed to pick up two long length blazers for half the price on sale at Zara, so I basically bought two blazers for the price of one- Super Cala Dope Fashion Istic!
