Remember Remember the 5th of November..

Hello lovely Readers!

It is widely known that yesterday would be an exciting day waiting for the night sky to be lit up for Bonfire Night/ Guy Fawkes night but for the world of fashion, the 5th of November has been much anticipated.

Billboards May 2015

The one and only Balmain x HM Release.

Boy, have I been waiting! From the moment Olivier Rousteing, Kendall Jenner and Jourdan Dunn walked onto that red carpet back in May I knew I had to have something from that collection.

Once it got closer and the prices were released (That beaded blazer, my fave from the collection, was £300!!) I became a little reluctant, but when you think about it, thats actually a fraction of the price of what it would be retailing for if it was normal Balmain.

Top 3 (in my price range)! 

With much perseverance and determination I got my mom on board and we both worked out a plan to get a piece.With a budget in mind I targeted my top 3 choices and brought it down to these (see left).

I can't tell you the stress I felt yesterday morning, with uni I couldn't leave to try get it in stores. From what I hear it was complete mayhem so its just as well! I phoned H&M about 108 times, refreshed over possibly 200 times AND even had my team of specialist volunteers helping me out, which I am forever thankful for! 

Finally we got through, ordered the velvet green dress but with my luck there were some problems and turns out I didn't get it. The lady over the phone was so kind after I showed my disappointment and she was able to process an order for the fur coat! I AM SOOOOOO HAPPPYYY AND SO EXCITED!!
Hopefully Santa will let me have it before Christmas, but I really won't push it! Just knowing I securely have it is all I need for the time being!

Many people don't understand my obsession or why this collaboration is such a big deal but all I can say to that is : If you know, you know!

Can't wait to be twinning with Kendall! 

Ha lLo WeEnN

Happy (almost) Halloween Glamies!

I so wish I could've prepared an amazing costume and show it off to you all but unfortunately, this year I am SOOO unprepared for Halloween! :(  On top of not making any proper plans (all I know is I'll be with my mom and sisters) I've been so ill I haven't even thought of what I could be this year. 

So instead of showing you my own costume, I'm picking out my top 3 looks from YouTubers I follow, one of them is quite easy and perfect for the last minute! Who know's, maybe I'll follow their tutorials on Saturday  if I finally make up my mind!?I chose these 3 because they are centred on the face and not the outfit with make up I already (and you may already) have so it makes it that much easier to recreate, especially if you're quick to learn. 

I don't have any particular favourite between the 3 because they're all so different in their own way, from technique to detail. So they aren't in any preference order! 

A little side note, I have recently put in different labels on my page to help locate posts easier. I wanted an 'updates' section for quick posts/ highlights so you can find that in the 'Life and More' section. I'm playing catch up right now with uni work so I'll most likely be a little quiet for a few days but I'll try put up a couple posts up in that section to keep you updated!

I hope you have a safe and spooky Halloween! 

Carli Bybel

It would be wrong of me not to include her really! Like she says in the video, it's not super scary but if you're anything like me its perfect. I absolutely love this vampire look, its simple, sexy and halloweeny rolled into one!

This is someone I just recently started following, she is so beautiful and does some really great make up tutorials. This Glamour mummy costume is so creative, the make up is done so well yet it only takes a few simple steps! I love how she went all out and took it to the next level by having a complete costume. Definitely check this out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=af-NgxalyP8

Won't lie, I only discovered this lovely lady earlier today when I was searching for some inspo so I haven't actually had a chance to explore the rest of her page, but if it's anything like this tutorial I'm sure I'll love it! This look is so much more detailed than the other two, I love how she made her face almost look furry, it's not so clear in the pics but you can see it in the video. The hair and contacts are spot on all  you'd need to wear is an all black look and your good to go!

Princess Pia Mia

Ever watched a star grow into a star?  I can now say I have!

Well thanks to the internet and my love for the Kardashians I was introduced to Pia Mia at the age of 16...I watched her homemade YouTube videos, saw her hair color change over time from being full brunette,ombréd and to now a full on blondie who's obsessed with bandanas (an obsession I decided to adopt)!She then got signed to a modelling company and did some down played campaigns, but more recently (like 2 years ago recent), after a video of her singing her cover of 'Hold On we're going home' in front of Drake and Kanye West (at the Kardashian dinner table,as you do) everything changed, that was her moment and she sang her little heart out! An official Vevo channel,an EP and Missguided ad campaign later  Pia Mia released Do It Again with Chris Brown and Tyga. 

And now, she is HUGE. Like I nearly got squashed to death by people trying to force their way to the front last night, and that was only a club appearance!

Anyway, this post isn't about giving you her entire history (even though I have) its more to celebrate her success.I'm happy to have watched her reach her goals, she's still so young so I'm sure there'll be a lot more to come! 

I thought I'd show you what I wore to see her last night,an opportunity that I have long awaited! I didn't get my photo with her just a touch of her hand and a kiss blown to me which I made my night as you can imagine!  So grateful also because I was able to meet Nic Nac and get a photo(on the right)with him after much perseverance  so I'm a happy bunny!

This outfit was inspired by her, obviously...She has a very edgy street style which I tried to incorporate in my look, with her signature red lips,all that was missing was a bandana! 

The ripped jeans and strappy heels! Beautiful combo!

Let me know what you think :D 

I am absolutely OBSESSED with these KG heels! So much more comfier than any other heels I have and they are soon beautiful!! My Birthday present from last year, can't believe I've waited this long to debut them on GC!! 

Girl's Night Out <3
