Style Icon: Leighton Meester as Blair Woldorf

So recently I have been obsessed with Gossip Girl and sadly I finished all the series in a matter of days :( However there was a certain character who's style I fell in love with, and if you couldn't tell by the title it was the style of Blair Woldorf. I love her style so much she's classy, elegant and sophisticated. its really inspired me to add a bit more class into how I dress.

♥

♥ She's perfect in every way! She's Beautiful! She's got the figure! She's got the hair!Now I know that she may not be up everybody's street but she is most certainly up mine, and if I could be anyone else in the world I would be her.

♥

♥

♥ Her style is just amazing. Now normally I just wear what I want but I love how 'Blair' is always looking classy and elegant even in her pyjamas. She has certainly inspired me to up my game when it comes to style.'Blair's' style is very chic and almost business like, she would never wear jeans or a hoodie and even when she's spending all day in her house she still looks sharp and sophisticated.I especially love her wedding dress in the last ever episode it was just magnificent.

♥ Her make-up also inspires me. She's very natural but tends to play around with colour either on her eyes or on her lips.

♥She is truly a very big style icon in my eyes! I know some of you will disagree and say that she's quite boring, but ohh well we all have our own personal tastes and this is mine :) Hope you enjoyed :)

Best of 2012 TAG!

This tag sounded really interesting and I thought I should share with you my best beauty, fashion and random things about 2012. I wasn't tagged to this, but I thought why not give it ago:

(photo from Google)

BEAUTY:

1. Face product- This is so typical but I am going to have to say the collection 2000 concealer  I have repurchased this item many times and I don't see myself stopping any time soon.

2. Cheek product- The product I have been using most this year on my cheeks is dandelion by benefit. This is a brighting face powder but I tend to use it on my cheek bones to add a glow to my face. 

3. Eye product- This is definitely got to be a mascara, because I look dead without any on, and my favourite one has to be maybelline 'the falsies volume express mascara'. 

4. Lip Product- this is something I received for Christmas this year but it is definitely something that I will be using for a long time and that is the body shops watermelon lip balm, I absolutely love the smell of this it's so nice.

5. Skincare Product - St Ives blemish fighting facial scrub - this stuff is amazing it leaves your skin so soft.

6. Nail Polish-This isn't a nail colour it's a base coat and it's the 'natural nail' base coat form O.P.I, before using this I always used a cheap one from drug stores that would leave my nails all yellow after removing the nail vanish (that's not a pretty sight-trust me), but now my nails look like normal healthy nails which is what you want when you take you're nail varnish off. 

7. Hair product- I had a lot of trouble this year with dry and dull hair, so I went on the hunt for a hair product to help with this problem and I found the body shop's 'grapeseed glossing serum'. This is literally the best thing ever, my hair now feels really nice and soft and looks a lot healthier.

8. Body product/Perfume- my favorite perfume for 2012 was a perfume from Jack Wills called 'hope cove'. It comes in a roller ball which is so handy when you go to school.

FASHION:

9. Clothing piece- I love JUMPERS- I wear them all year round (thin ones in the summer).

10. Accessory- My big chunky knit scarf form jack wills - it's a good statement piece.

11. Pair of shoes- Brown compact boots - they go with so much.

RANDOM:

12. Favorite TV Show/Movie - Pitch perfect - Best Movie ever, it's so funny. 

13. Favorite book - Harry Potter I read them over and over.

14. Food- all food.

15. Beverage- Raspberry and orange fruit cooler from Coster

16. Favorite song- Little things, beneath your beautiful and all of Ed Sheeran's songs.

If you would like to have a go at this tag, I would love to see your post or just leave a comment telling me your best things about 2012.

HAPPY NEW YEAR XX

OOTD: Dupe disco pants...

As you can probably tell by the title of this post this outfit is featuring a great dupe to the american apparel disco pants, I know this is a very cliche blog post, but this one is different, all the other blog post's that I have read on dupes cost around the  £30.00 mark , whereas these ones are from Matalan and were only £12.00, which to be honest is an absolute bargain  so if you are like me and haven't really got the money to go out and spend £74.00 on a pair I suggest  buying these as a tester. I wore them for the first time today and I love them so much.

They have also got all the features of the real american apparel ones, they are high waisted, and they also have two pockets on the back and are really flattering. 

This is how I styled them today....

I'm wearing.....

Coat- Jack wills last Christmas

Jumper- Primark £12.00 last year

Disco pants- Matalan £12.00 (link at the end)

Shoes- my cosy ugg boots from UGG Australia

Please excuse the Pudsey bear badge on my jumper, I bought it today and forgot to take it off.

I also have these pants in purple, but I think I'm going to have to build the courage up to wear them. 

These disco pants have such an amazing feeling to them and I would suggest them to anyone, here is the link to where you can buy them: http://www.matalan.co.uk/fcp/product/fashion-to-buy-online//-Girls-Candy-Couture-Black-Disco-Pants/67412&resultsPerPage=100&attrList=Dept,brand

Hope you all had a nice day

I've been shopping.

I recently took a trip up to cardiff with my friends for a day out shopping, and I bought a couple of things, nothing too extravagant but enough to fulfill my need to shop. A lot of this stuff is from primark so I didn't do too much damage.

♥

Here is an over view of what i bought:

♥

First stop was Primark:

I bought this nice beanie firstly because it's getting colder and closer to winter and plus it look really cute on. I especially like it, because if you're having a bad hair day this beanie will be essential. This was only £3.00.

I also bought this headband from Primark, it's really cute on and it was only £2.00.

This back was also another bargain from Primark for £6.00, what I love about this bag is the little suede circles on the design, I think it makes the bag look a lot more expensive than what it is.

This is the last thing from Primark and is my favorite buy of the day, and it's just a lovely sheer shirt with nice autumn/winter colors on the print and what makes this buy even better is the fact that I found it in the sale section of primark for just a fiver.

♥

Next stop was Topshop where I bought the following things: 

This headband was a bit of a splurge, it cost £8.50, but I love it. It looks really cute on either with a messy bun or even with your hair down.This is also one of my favourite items of the whole shop.

The last thing I bought in Topshop are these 'heavy weight' leggings, I bought these purely because it's getting colder and lets face it black legging go with pretty much anything.

♥

We also took a trip into River Island, and I only bought one thing, which trust me is not normal.

This necklace was in the sale from seven pounds to three, and I thought that it looked really cool so I bought it!

♥

Now moving onto more beauty related things, first stop was T.K.Maxx which isn't a normal stop for me but I was told by my mum that they always have good deals on nail varnishes, and they did so I picked up this set for only £7.99. The set is by the brand color club, and the collection is called Alter ego keep it under cover. the colors are called Alter Ego (i think it's the pink one, but it doesn't say on the bottle), Secret Agent (the matte purple), Total Mystery (metallic brown),Allais(one on the far right), Ulterior Motive(shiny purple) , Masquerading(matte blue) and a top coat.

 

Secondly we stopped in boots and I bought a new foundation which I am very happy with at the moment but I will have to use it for a bit longer so I can review it for you.

♥

Lastly, when we were in the train station we went into W.H.Smith and i bought this book, because it sounded good and the cover was cool, so far I've only read the first chapter and I'm very pleased with it.

♥

Hope you all have a nice day!
