HOW TO STYLE SKINNY JEANS

Good Evening and Happy Valentines Day!

Today, I am going to be telling you all the different ways of wearing a standard type skinny jean. Nearly every person atleast owns a pair of skinny jeans, they go with so many different styles and here I will show you some different ways of wearing them.

Number 1:  The Simple Look.

Here we have Kristen Stewart wearing some skinny jeans paired with a leather jacket, soft pink top, and some leather boots-this is a casual way to wear skinny jeans. Add a top of your choice,tucked in or out-if tucking in it would be better to choose a plain top, and add a necklace to catch the eye. Not only do you have to wear boots with skinny jeans, put on some converse or just flats, if you don't have any nice looking ones then get some from Primark as the prices are cheap!

Number 2:
The Edgy Look.

 

Wearing jeans rolled up is probably my favorite way to wear them, it's crazy how just getting a plain pair of jeans and rolling the bottoms up really changes the look, and gives that high end feel. You can style rolled up jeans with heels like in the picture, or you could put on some Creepers with frilly socks from Topshop. For the top half of your body, wear a denim shirt tucked in to create that double denim look, wear a plain top tucked in/out with a patterned bomber jacket to catch the eye, or wear a cropped tee.

Number 3:

Sophisticated Look.

Kim Kardashian can pull off anything, including this look! High waisted jeans are great if you want to go for the sophisticated style, add a blouse or peplum top with these jeans and put on a pair of heels like Kim has done. If you want to make a statement piece with the high waisted jeans, wear a belly top (preferably patterned) then change the heels to Dr Martens-this is comfortable yet a great way to add drama to the look.

Links for some of the places you can purchase items like the ones I described:

Bomber Jackets

Dr Martens

Frilly Socks (scroll down and look for the different colours of the frilly socks)

High Waisted Jeans
 

Cropped T-Shirts

Statement Necklaces

Creepers

Blouses

Peplum Tops

I do apologize for some of the prices on these clothes as they are rather high, also I linked to a variety of shops, but you can buy these items from different places-not just the ones I linked.

I hope some of these looks have helped you to wear your jeans in a different way, and style them up!

TOP 5 BEAUTY PRODUCTS OF 2012

Bonjour!

Today I am going to be reviewing my 5 favorite, and most used beauty products of 2012. These are in no particular order, and some of the products might not be on sale anymore.

1. The first product is Benefit They're Real mascara.

This mascara comes in tube which weighs 85g, the tube has a metallic effect on the front, and is made by Benefit. I'm not one for being a massive fan of Benefit products, and owning lots of their items, but this mascara is honestly the best mascara I have ever used as it causes no clumps, and gives a full long lasting lash. One of the reasons this is the best mascara in the UK is because, the brush has bristles all over, and even at the tip of the wand to get right into those corner lashes for a fuller effect. The product is £18.50 from the Benefit website, and I really recommend this to everyone. I have had my Mascara since before December, and use it everyday, it's only just starting to run out so the product does last for a long time.

2. Models Own eyelash curler

I got the Models Own eyelash curlers as a Christmas present last year, I know some eyelash curlers don't really work or just make the lashes go a funny shape, but these ones work very well. The curlers give a nice rounded curve on lashes, and it keeps the lashes in position all day. One thing I would say about this is that once you have curled your lashes with the Models Own eyelash curler, when you look up and your lashes move up as well, it sometimes feels a little odd on my eyelids, this is probably just me being picky, but if you do get this product just beware of that. Otherwise I suggest you buy this as it's only £6.00!

3. Topshop nail varnish in 'Tidal'

This was the first nail varnish I ever bought from Topshop, and I love it! The nail varnish itself is very good, the quality of it is brilliant. I bought this in the colour 'Tidal' which is a pastel matte blue, and dries in under 2 minutes maximum, but considering my attention span when it comes to waiting for nails to dry is quite low, I do manage to smudge my nails very quickly, so if you do have a low attention span then it is probably best you purchase a quick dry nail varnish. When buying Topshop nail varnishes, depending on the colour and whether the varnish is matte or not,you might want to apply 2 coats just for that extra colour boost. Other than that I love Topshop nail varnishes, and the variety of colours are amazing, you can find these here.

4. Naked Pallet by Urban Decay

I currently cannot find a link for this pallet by Urban Decay as it is one of their best sellers, so many people are after this product it's unreal and, I was very lucky to be able to get one. The reason so many people want this pallet is because it is incredible, the colours that come with it are called Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar, Buck, Half Baked, Smog, Dark Horse, Toasted, Hustle, Creep, and Gun Metal. All the colours are natural looking-not bright colours, you can wear these all year round as they are warm yet natural tones. The eye-shadows last all day, and don't crumble off of your skin when applying. There is a brush that does come with the pallet, but I recommend using a 287 Fibre Eyeshadow brush from Mac as it is easier to apply it with that brush, and if you want to blend tones use a 217 Blending Brush from Mac. Overall I really love this pallet from Urban Decay, and the rest of their products for sale are really good aswell.

5. My last and final product is the High Beam Highlighter.

 My last favorite beauty product of 2012 is the High Beam Highlighter from Benefit. I don't usually use highlighters, but I got a sample of this product, and it really does make a difference! To apply this Highlighter you dot, and blend over makeup onto cheek and brow bones-or anywhere you want a glance to linger. The point in this product is to enhance your complexion, but this only works best when it is sunny because, as the sun reflects on your face the points where you placed the Highlighter glow, and define your facial features. The applicant of this product is like a nail varnish wand, but the brush tip is a little thicker, and so is the liquid inside. I would recommend you get this product if you aren't afraid of your facial features being enhanced, and more noticeable.

These were my top 5 beauty products of 2012, I hope you enjoyed reading, and maybe purchase one of these items.

WEEKLY WISHLIST : TOPSHOP

Aloha!

It's Sunday which means school tomorrow for some people (like me). But today it's my weekly wishlist day, every Sunday I will be posting my wishlist for the week with clothes from 1 fashion shop which will change on a weekly basis.

Today my wishlist is in Topshop, I absolutely love Topshop and it will be very hard to narrow it down to my top 10 items for my wishlist, but after a long hour I managed to get my top 10:

 

1. 3 Colour Block Shirt

2. Roll Back Crop Tee

3. Roxy Trousers

4. Disco Pants

5. Metallic Shorts

6. Mint Skater Skirt

7. Lace Crop Denim Shirt

8. Chinoiserie Flower Bomber Jacket

9. Duck Egg Blue Frilly Socks

10. Shimmery Purple Nail varnish

I love disco pants, the disco pants go really well with peplum tops which can be found in shops like Republic, Newlook, Tops etc. I love the blue disco pants, but I would be quite scared to wear them as they are extremely bright and stand out alot. The disco pants are almost a longer version of the metallic shorts, the shine on both of the items is the same, but I find the metallic shorts less of a scary item of clothing to wear.

Some of these items are quite odd looking, like the 3 Colour Block Shirt but i have a strange attraction to it, aswell as the Chinoiseri Bomber Jacket. I own some bomber jackets at the moment, but I don't have one that looks like that with that sort of pattern. Some people may find bomber jackets daunting to wear a they aren't your everyday clothing item, but take the risk and try one-you never know, you may like the jacket on you and not all bomber jackets are patterened. You can get bomber jackets that are just plain, if you were to get a plain one then wear it with a patterned top otherwise there would be no point in having the jacket as it would go unnoticed.

Another daunting item on my wishlist is the striped jeans. When wearing striped trousers you have to be careful not to wear a top that clashes, wearing a spotty top with the jeans would not be a good idea-unless you are some sort of God and are able to pull off wearing clashing patterns then I recommend you don't clash the jeans. 

Vertical stripes are meant to give the illusion that you are taller than you actually are, the vertical lines will elongate the legs rather than making yourself look stubby. As I am short, owning a pair of striped trousers would help make me look taller than I am which is something I quite like the sound of.

Sadly, I will most likely not be going shopping this week to purchase these items, but I will certainly internet shop and buy some of the items on my wishlist.
