Style Steal: Chloe.


Topshop Body & Shorts

This outfit is actually something Chloe wore, you may recognise it from the Sheffield meetup. I absolutely loved it, she looked so effortlessly good. I've had this body for about a year, I wore it once out in London last summer with a Topshop black bodycon skirt and Ashish style platforms and didn't really have anything to wear it with again.
I wore this quickly to head in to town & then out for dinner in London a couple of weeks ago. Chloe wore it with a leather jacket, and some cute black boots but I opted for my grey American Apparel hoody and the tan loafers I've posted about a few times.

I wasn't going to put these photos up, mainly because I have clearly ripped off someone elses outfit, but you should definitely check out the gorgeous Chloe!
Is there anyone you really admire and take inspiration from when choosing outfits?

So. I tried making a new blog layout this eve but I forgot to save it as a .PSD so I can edit it, and it needs changing. I will try and get something up soon as I'm feeling a bit sick of what I have now.
Also, it's my day off tomorrow and Graeme is off to Italy for the night for a gig so I will try and get my "How to do a Topknot on short hair" youtube tutorial.

5 Favourites: Lush.


♥ Dark Angels Cleanser: This is an amazing exfoliator made with charcoal to absorb any excess oils. It's quite fine & abrasive so I only use it once every two weeks but it really smooths over my skin, making it brighter and softer. It's black, of course, so can be a bit messy. Sometimes I blow my nose two days later and black stuff appears (grim) so you need to clean it all off but totally worth it.

♥ Honey I Washed the Kids Soap: A gorgeous soap with the most amazing smell, I have been using this for years. I'm sure everyone has tried this, it contains toffee and honey. I buy a big block, cut chunks off it and leave them near any sinks in our flat.

♥ Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter: This was recommended to me by my favourite blogger Charlene & its lovely. I have really bad cuticles, so I massage some of this in at night and they're getting better. It's a bit greasy for day use, but great for night time. It's also meant to be good for dry patches - knees, elbows etc.

♥ Catastrophe Cosmetic Face Mask: My all time favourite face mask, made with blueberries (rich in antioxidants) It cleanses and soothes skin really well, and I think it's the best one for blemishes. It dries like a clay mask, absorbing oils on the skin and drawing out impurities. My skin feels lovely afterwards & it always improves my complexion. Definitely recommend this!

♥ The Olive Branch Shower Gel: I've mentioned this little lovely before, but I feel I should mention it again for good measure. The scent is gorgeous, and lingers in my bathroom after showers. It contains olive oil to soften and nourish skin. A winner with me!

Video: Hair Tutorial.


A quick video on how I do my hair each day, as requested by a few of you. Nothing special, but here you go!
I hope you like it.

Not a lot going on with me to be honest, I'm going to Nottingham for my skincare training at work on the 15th so I'm really excited about that. My skin has been horrible recently. 
We're meant to be going out tonight but I'm in my pyjamas and starting to feel sleepy. Not sure if this will happen... I have work tomorrow at 9am eugh! 

I also reached 800 followers! Which means almost 900 including my bloglovin' followers, so thanks everyone! <3
