Gold Label

Spring is such a beautiful season, where flowers start to blossom against the winter branches, the grass gets greener and the days open up for longer. But the only downside is, it's still pretty chilly.

This however is my answer to all the windy spring days ahead. The Gold Label Cape from HollandCooper is not only beautiful and effortlessly eye catching but it's super snuggly too. It's such a stunning statement piece but also perfect for walks, city breaks or just going out with friends for the day. Every occasion, this piece is purely perfect. 

The wonderful British brand HollandCooper prides itself on being high end British beauty. They use the most incredible Scottish tweeds in their pieces along with high end leathers and suedes to create some truly inspiring and beautiful items that you will love from the day they arrive.

This specific beauty (Gold Label Fur Cape in Brown Herringbone) is from HollandCooper's petite section, which for me is perfect as I am 5'4 capes can often swamp me, but with the perfect tailoring and length it only compliments my height. Naturally this creates a boost in confidence making me feel amazing when I wear it. It has a super snug fur hood too which keeps the spring breeze at bay and keeps you looking amazing even when it's chilly. I just love how this colour goes so well with my hair and making it pop out of the outfit. Not only does it look amazing but it is unbelievably comfy to wear. Can you tell I'm a little obsessed?

This sensational piece of clothing is totally up their with my favourites, being completely diverse enough to wear in the country or out in the city.

Farewell Berlin

The first week of February and it is already proving to be a wonderful month. My dissertation is now done, tomorrow I'll be printing it and then FREEDOM (until monday when next semester starts). 

As a result of uni taking over my posts have been so behind but tonight is the last instalment of my lovely mini break to Berlin. I need to get my feet well travelled this year even if it's only a few mini breaks. Paris is definitely on the list. I haven't been for years and really want to adventure around the little streets finding beautiful coffee shops and watching the world go by. 

I wish I had longer in Germany than I did have but the time I had was perfect and met some amazingly inspiring people. I feel so blessed to be lucky enough to have been sent over there. Even the surrounds weren't hard to appreciate as everywhere you go there is something to stop and stare at, or in my case, take photos of. It was freezing cold but there is nothing better in winter than having rosy cheeks because the icy winds have pinched them. It's the little things in life that are memorable and it's these memories we should create more of. 

I have such a fun month coming up, starting tomorrow with rehearsals for a Bridal Show in a couple of weeks, very excited to try on some beautiful fluffy dresses, I absolutely love modelling bridal. And yes, of course you can expect some photos tomorrow afternoon with some sneak peaks, but for now, I wish you all a happy Wednesday. 

Make Up Model Day

Apologies for not writing for a few days, life has turned a little bit manic down here with some super exciting news to tell you all. I had my first deadline of third year on friday, so I've been so busy with getting my work done this had to take a back seat for a couple of days. 

I can finally show you the wonderful images from the make up model day I did with Sally Orchard Make Up Training. She is a hugely talented and well respected MUA down in cornwall and so many of my favourite shoots are her make up skills making me look a lot better. Over a few you learn how to do different make up looks and being your basics for becoming a make up artist. I was more than happy to model for this as I love getting new make up looks done. 

The first make up look was bridal which was very natural, with flushed cheeks. Such a gorgeous look for boho weddings and more natural everyday looks. The second look was more dramatic, party looks for evening make up. Using MAC glitter on my eyes this look was definitely my favourite. Heavy on the eyes and more nude on the lips. This isn't a look I usually go for myself but I am totally adopting this for future nights out and parties. Complimented with the gorgeous accessories from Bow's Boutique in falmouth the fur made the look even more glamourous. 

I can't even tell you how excited I am about what is coming next week but there will be little hints and it's such an honour to be able to go this up coming event, I hope you're al excited to hear what it will be...see you soon Germany!

Make Up Modelling

So lately I have been struggling a bit with the stresses of uni as my hand in is next week and sometimes over thinking your work doesn't help at all. So today I got asked to go to model for a  make up day and it was exactly what I needed. When I'm in model mode I don't think or worry about anything and always end up with a clear mind after ready to tackle anything. I'm not sure how this became such a big escape for me but I'm glad it did. 

I was working with a lovely lady called Fi and she was doing two different make up looks on me. one for bridal and one more dramatic. The bridal one was gorgeous, peachy cheeks, brown eye shadow and pink gloss lips, of which I didn't get any selfies of. But the second look was definitely my favourite. Can never ever have enough glitter but this MAC gold glitter is just incredible and I still have it on now...really don't want to take it off. Smokey black eyes graduating into gold glitter. Was amazing to watch all the make up artists working and creating their looks. 

For each look we then had to go model them, and the fur theme for the second look was just gorgeous. Need to get myself more fur items I think. This wasn't ever something I would have put together, heavy eyes with everyday clothes but it worked so well and I can't wait to see the images for the MUA's portfolios. But of course I had to take some selfies to show you some sneak peaks of what I got up to as it was too lush not to show off. 

Furry Christmas

Fur is everywhere lately and I can't get enough of it! Fur coats, fur gilets, fur scarfs even fur clutch bags (which I need to invest in asap) but today I'm featuring this uber fluffy black and white gilet from Celeblook. 

It looks fabulous with long sleeved shift dress, a jumper and jeans, skirt and top it goes with basically anything and for a christmas party it's perfect to add a warmer layer without having to carry a big coat around with you. There is no such thing as too fluffy for me so this is just the perfect element to add to your festive outfits. I don't know about you guys but I'm home over Christmas at the moment and it's freeeeezing up north compared to Cornwall so this has been packed in my case so I can be snuggled up when I go for festive cocktails to catch up with friends. It looks great as a casual fashion statement or dressed up with a statement necklace and glittery dress. Keeping a monochrome look I opted for a bright lippy with my Classy Winchester Daniel Wellington watch to add a bit of colour. 

If you're looking for last minute outfits for presents at a great price this is a perfect gift this christmas, who doesn't want fur in their stocking? Shop it here: www.celeblook.co.uk
