Fur Chic

I 

Faux Fur Coat Zara  Similar  / Black Swing Dress  Pretty Little Thing  /  Thigh High Boots  Public Desire 

I hate the winter, I view winter as it is projected in the Game of Thrones, but as soon as a saw this coat it was a must have. I purchased a size up and decided on a subtle cream and brown combination (there was three different colours to choose from) teamed with this all black ensemble the coat becomes focal. The boots and dress are also some new found favourites and styled together is a perfect combination for a chic casual look.

After a hard day at work my number one priority is always take the day off my face. As many of you know I have been blessed with oily skin which has its pro and cons. But does mean I am more  to break outs and large pores. Fortunately over the past year my skin has progressively got better and my general make routine has changed and foundations are now no longer my go to (please let me know if you would like an updated make up routine) and concealers are my new best friends.

If you suffer from combination to oily skin like mine I would advise you have a little read through my current skin care steps.....enjoy reading my lovelies.

STEP 1 Clarins Pure Melt Cleansing Gel With Murala Oil

This triple textured cleansing gel in formulated to gentle break does makeup particles, whilst melting away impurities and excess oil. Its safe enough to use around your delicate eye area.

STEP 3 Caudalie Micellar Cleansing Water

This is a staple product in my skin care routine. As I am unable to use cleansing wipes due to the alcohol content. I have reverted for a natural based product

With a combination of micelles , small particles of surfactants, which trap skin impurities such as excess sebum, pollution and makeup residue. It effectively  cleanse the leaving a silky smooth texture. With 0% parabens, phenoxyethanol., phthalates, mineral oils, sodium laureth sulphate and animal ingredients. This is  must have cleansing tonic for blemished prone skin.

STEP 4 Kiehl's Avocado Eye Cream

This concentrated and hydrating eye cream soothes puffy eyes and moisturises the delicate eye area. Packed with vitamins and fatty acids it gently provides intense eye treatment to help smooth out wrinkles. This product has been ophthalmologist and dermatologist tested.

The formula is enriched with virgin coconut oil that nurtures the skin with fatty acids and provides intense hydration. This product also contains SPF 15 to help your skin fight UV damage and premature skin damage.

HOW TO STYLE MUSTARD YELLOW

Mustard Suede Jacket Missguided // Black Sweatshirt Topshop // Black Faux Suede Leggings Zara // Bowler Bag Zara (Last Season) // Black Ankle Gold Heeled Boots Misguided (Sold Out)

Hey guys it's been a long hiatus, but I am back. Faux Suede has definitely been defining the fashion scene and this mustard jacket has been sitting in my wardrobe since summer unworn and ready for some action. Paired with an all black ensemble and gold heeled ankle boots, allowed this jacket to be a clear statement piece. 

For a more subtle look, a loose fitting white shirt, paired with some skinny or girlfriend jeans. Add a fedora hat to accessorise. To complete your outfit slip on a pair of ankle boots or court shoes for a simple, but stylish outfit. I hope this helps.
