beauty, fashion and more



Hello everyone! I've collected a few photos that highlight the little moments I've liked the most the past few weeks. Starting off with my friend and I's mini coffee date before school last week. Most people would find nothing extraordinary about this and I agree but a little chat over coffee just always start off my day nicely!


This second snap is of my beloved bag purchased from peacocks (buy here) and my little fluffy owl keychain kindly given to me by my boyfriend's mum from Italy! I've recently really enjoyed tan instead of the usual black handbag and since this bag is really plain, the keychain really brightens it up. 

 

The two pictures above really bring out my inner cat lady. The first picture shows a little ginger kitten who a friend of mine and I stumbled upon on the way to school. He was the friendliest little thing!
The second picture is a tiny kitten my boyfriend and I found whilst out shopping. I really wanted to take it home but unfortunately already have a little dog that likes all the attention to himself!


This last picture features my matching Skagen watch and necklace (see watch in more detail here) given to me by my boyfriend on my 17th. I had been looking for the perfect watch for a while because I've the smallest wrist and and I just think the bigger watches that are in fashion right now don't really suit me that well so I was soo happy when I got this one!

I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know if you'd like to see anything else!
love,

I know I'm being very cliche when I say I love Autumn. I didn't want to admit this until a week ago when I realised there's no denying it. I love the crisp morning air that turns to sunny sunshine which in turn becomes a chilly evening. I love layering and actually being able to take off my coat or keep it open to show the layers beneath, something I can't do in December because I would freeze. Even though Christmas time still is my favourite, I have found many reasons for Autumn to be a close second favourite.

Below I've put together a few outfits I've been very much lusting over the past few days, and also the links from where you can buy the pieces shown!


First look: casual preppy

A puffer vest is something I've wanted for a long time. Having owned a furry vest before, I came to realise how versatile a vest jacket is. However much I love my furry vest, it's too warm for autumn but this puffer vest is the perfect alternative.
The ankle boots are the perfect way to make the outfit that little bit more interesting but at the same time make it look effortless.

Second look: girly casual

I absolutely love this next look. The khaki lapel belt vest is a staple piece in this set, it gives the look something different and also shows off the blouse's puffy sleeves- which I adore! We're keeping it casual with jeans and flats, I also added a plaid scarf because who doesn't love some scarf action!? Scarves are a great way to accessorize without making the outfit look too over the top. 
The perfume shown is Dahlia Divin by Givenchy and it is an eau de toilette perfume. The woody scent is perfect for autumn in my opinion, it also adds a nice touch to the outfit because it is a very elegant and feminine scent. 
I love love love the little black bow on the blouse, it contrasts very nicely with the creamy colour. Last but not least I added a watch because I've lately been obsessed with watches and I have a similar one to this but all in rose gold, however I thought that would be a bit too much for this outfit.


Those are the top looks I've been really looking forward to wearing this season, let me know what you think and if you would like to see more of these kind of posts. Thank you for reading!

Love,

I'm normally not a huge fan of Chanel, there's no reason behind it but I'm just attracted to other prestigious brands. However someone from work had pointed it out to me and I thought to try it out. The first few times I used it I was very impressed. A little pump of it goes a long way and it gave my skin a very natural finish without having it look like I'm wearing any make up at all. Generally speaking all CC creams will have a light to medium coverage but I just really like how this set on my skin. 

The product contains SPF which is a very good thing especially in summer when we're constantly out in the sun. It also has a really pleasant smell which is nice because who likes to cover their face with something that doesn't smell good!? All in all it's also very long lasting, considering I'm constantly touching my face or sometimes napping, it still manages to look like I've just applied it even 7 hours after I actually did. 

However after using it around 5 times I started noticing a few things I didn't like about it. One thing in particular really put me off- which is how dirty my pores were getting because of it. Usually I don't have many whiteheads but ever since I started using it I've been getting many more. Apart from that the product doesn't work very well on dry skin. It makes it much drier and almost flakey, even when I applied moisturiser underneath.


I hope this review was somewhat helpful to you!

Love,

I'm being completely honest here when I say that I've written an introduction post around 3 times. Not just now, but over the course of 2 years. That's how long I've been meaning to start a blog for and even though I'm so interested in it, and I'm constantly being inspired by other bloggers blogs, I just never get around to actually doing it. I'm going to try my very best to not let this one post be the first and last one because truly a 4th introduction post would be taking it too far.


Now for the actual introducing, I'm Laila and I'm doing my second and last year of higher secondary. I've recently started training as a beauty consultant and I very much love it. I could talk about make up and anything beauty related all day so I thought a blog would be a really good idea where I can share my ideas and thoughts. 

That's all I've to say for now, thank you for reading my very first (or third..) post!

Love,
