DIY | Personalising My Denim Jacket

I've always wanted to do this! I bought all of the patches of Ebay and my mum sewed them on for me Thanks bae!) It was time consuming but it's turned out more than perfect I think.I was getting bored of my plain jacket and I don't even know where the idea came from but I just wanted to personalise it. Because I love music, I decided to just buy a load of band patches. So far I have a Korn, Pantera, Alice in Chains, Fear Factory, Slipknot, Pearl Jam and Marilyn Manson patch. I can just see myself doing this is almost all of my clothes, haha. Watch this space as I'll probably add alot more to this jacket!

Would you personalise your clothes with patches?

Recent Loves!

I swear I'm going to spend all of my money on LUSH products one day! My most recent purchase from Lush is the 'Dark Angels' exfoliating cleansing mask. Gosh, this is just amazing. I was really hating on my skin as I kept on breaking out but 'Dark Angels' really has been a god send. I use this day and night and my skin looks so much better. I recommend this to everyone especially if your skin needs some life put back into it, haha. I also bought a cute little moon choker from Primark in a set, it's cute isn't it?

If you have read this blog before, you will probably know that me and Leah are obsessed with buying lipsticks, especially MAC ones. This one is called 'Studded Kiss'. This shade reminds me of Diva but I actually love 'Studded Kiss' so much better. This is a matte lipstick and it stays put for hours! It also looks amazing paired with my new Max Factor polish.

I love the ogx hair products! I have alot of their products and I love this anti-breakage kertin oil spray. It's amazing and it also smells just as good. It isn't at all heavy on my hair and it doesn't make my hair greasy at all.

What are your favourite products right now? Would you give any of these products a go?

Burgundy Velvet

What I'm Wearing: DRESS, Boohoo |SHOES, Topshop

If you've been reading our blog for awhile you will know that we're both obsessed with velvet clothes.This is a dress I got from Boohoo for only £6! & I had to get it too of course because I have too many black clothes! I couldn't believe the price of this dress though and when it finally came in the post, I was surprised by how great the quality was of it too. It's really lovely and light too wear, some velvet dresses can feel slightly heavy but this is just my favourite ever outfit - yeah, I have a lot of favourite outfits! I wore this on my 18th birthday as this dress was actually one of my birthday presents.
I love this red/burgundy colour. I don''t wear much colour but when I do it's always burgundy. Another thing I love about this dress is that it is a Bardot syle so it's actually meant to be worn with the top pulled around the shoulder but it's way to cold to do that just yet. I can't wait to wear all my clothes without my trusty long sleeved black top underneath!

These photographs make it look warm outside but it's still really freezing! I just wish it would turn Spring soon!

Denim Jacket & Feather Crop Top

What I'm Wearing: DENIM JACKET, asos | CROP TOP, asos | CULOTTES, asos | BOOTS, River Island.

I literally couldn't remember when I last bought new clothes. I've been saving up for a few weeks and as Spring is coming up, we decided to start buying more clothes for the new season. The first thing that was on my wish list was a denim jacket. I'm so obsessed with denim jackets and it was time for a new one. Demin jackets are great for all year round and this one is from asos and it was £45. I think I will own this jacket for life and I will be wearing it all of the time!
I recently bought this crop top too from asos. I love it as it has a boho vibe about it. The feathers are unusal colours and I quite like that as I do want to start adding more colour into my wardrobe as the warmer months start coming up. These culottes were also from asos and I think they go perfect with this outfit.
Found these boots in the River Island sale just after Christmas and I was so happy. I've wanted these boots for months but I just didn't want to part with my money but as soon as they were in the sale I just had to buy them.

What have you bought for your Spring wardrobe?

Flatform Sandles

I love flatforms. My creepers are my all time fave shoes nowadays! but is there really anything better than flatform sandles? I don't think so! I chose these shoes for my birthday and to say that I love them is an understatement.

I just love how amazing these shoes look with my fashion tights but I also think they will make amazing shoes for all year round. I love the suede finish of the shoes and the ankle strap fastening with the cute buckle. These shoes where in the ASOS sale at only £29! I will checking the ASOS sale more often if I can find more bargains like this!

What do you think of Flatform Sandles?

Boxing Day

What I'm Wearing: FUR COAT, Dorothy Perkins | GILET, Boo Hoo | PLAYSUIT, Topshop | SHOES, Primark | EAR MUFFS, New Look | RING, Gemporia.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I'm kind of upset that it's all over now but I'm so excited for New Year now. Boxing Day is always a great day to relax and today we went to our local park for a long walk to show off our new clothes. I'm wearing my new Dorothy Perkins fur coat. Burgundy is one of my favourite colours so you'll see me in this coat for a while! To keep extra warm, I'm wearing my new gilet from Boo Hoo. I already have a few gilets but you can never have too many as they're so warm! My burgundy playsuit goes perfect with my coat too! The playsuit is quite different from my usual style but I just adore how it looks with the top underneath it. With all of these layers, you can say that I was pretty warm on our winter walk!

Last up is my new ring that I got for Christmas. This ring is just stunning! I can't even say what colour it is exactly as in natural light it's a light burgundy and then it looks a dark plum. I've never owned a garnet ring before so I'm so happy to add this little gem to my collection!

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas!

Festive Fashion | Christmas Jumpers!


When you hear 'Christmas jumper' you immediately picture an embarrassing jumper that you wouldn't be seen dead in (maybe that's a bit to far, haha.) I must admit, I've never owned a Christmas jumper before but this year has been a turning point for Christmas jumpers as they're now stylish and  essential for the festive season. I just had to create a list of my favourite Christmas jumpers of 2014.  My favourite in the picture above is probably the River Island 'naughty or nice' jumper, I mean how could you not love this jumper? I also love the sequins on the Christmas tree jumper which is from Topshop. You can never have enough sparkle, especially at this time of year!

You're never to old to wear a festive jumper but let's not forget about hats! I think hats are a great accessory to any outfit and I've been wearing my Christmas pudding and reindeer hat all month, you can read all about them here!

Christmas is now less than a week away and I can't even contain my excitement! What are your favourite Christmas jumpers of this year? 
Love Rachel, xx

Wishing | Topshop Outfits On My Wish List

Ying Yang Print Tee | Lace Up Velvet Shoes | Flower and Ying and Yang Choker Set | Faux Fur Backpack | Velvet Mini Skirt | Claw Set Stone Ring | Long Faux Fur Gilet 

Tophop is the most recent shop we've both been absolutely OBSESSING over! So what's better than to do a wishlist of all our current favourite clothes in store? These are the clothes we've been loving and if we had enough money we would definately be styling this like this!

First outfit is the Ying Yang print tee with a lovely burgundy velvet skirt. It was love at first sight. We'd both add a gilet over the top to make more cosy and oh yeah, we LOVE gilets this Winter! A velvet backpack and also velvet shoes would look absolutely gorgeous with this outfit. Plus, I think you can see we are both pretty in love with everything velvet. The Ying Yang choker would match nicely with the top and it also comes with a cute flower choker too! Obviously every outfit needs finishing touches and I love the ring. Topshop just do the most perfect jewellery.

High Neck Cut-Out Skater Dress | Velvet Mid-Heel Shoes | Feather Cardigan | Black Velvet Drop Charm Choker | Feather Bag | Diamante Tights

Second up is this gorgeous combo featuring lots more velvet! A velvet dress and velvet shoes? Oh my, this is just dreamy! The shoes are just something I've wanted for years and now they are in Topshop with my name written all over them! I thought the feather cardigan would go lovely over the dress to keep warm and make it more casual. The tights, bag and choker top this outfit off. Diamante tights are something I need in my life. I can't resist a choker either - especially this one from Topshop!

Faux Fur Polka Dot Coat | Pom Pom Velvet Slippers | Sparkle Velvet Playsuit | Feather Bag | Cup Chain and Tassel Neckwear set | Enamel Detail Studs

The faux fur polka dot coat may already be familar to you if you saw our recent blog post, A Day Out in Topshop. I just had to include it because have you ever seen such a beautiful coat with polka dots!? Definetly a winner in my eyes. The cute shoes are perfect - I don't think I can resist anything with fluff on! So I had to include the beautiful bag too which would go so nicely with the coat. The playsuit... no word for how beautiful it is! Velvet and sparkles? Yes please!

What's your favourite outfit out of these three beauties?

Winter Walks

What I'm Wearing: FUR COAT, New Look | SHOES, Primark | SHORTS, River Island | GLOVES, H&M | Hat, River Island.

One of my favourite things about winter is taking long walks, especially in December when all the Christmas lights are up! As it's so cold outside I wore my beloved fur coat from New Look. I bought this coat about two years ago and I still love it. You can't beat a fur coat when it's cold outside! My skirt and hat are both from River Island and I got both in the sales! I couldn't believe I could these two items in the sales, especially the skirt. I love the baby pink colour of the beret and it goes perfectly with my skirt.

The last picture is of me and my little jackabee Heidi. This is the first time she's appeared on the blog! I absolutely love my little fur baby. She loves going on her walks so that's why she doesn't look to happy to stop for a picture, haha!

A Day Out in Topshop

This is a different kind of post. Why not taking pictures while on a shopping spree? Today we went into Topshop. Topshop is a shop that I never really go into. I don't know why but we're more of a River Island kind of girls. With Christmas just around the corner, I couldn't wait to look at all of the party glamour Topshop has to offer this year!

The window display is full of party dresses that look perfect for Christmas parties. I'm a fur coat addict and as soon as I saw the adorable baby pink fur coat with black polka dots, I just needed to have it. It's definitely going on my Christmas list! Topshop do the best accessories a girl could ask for. The rings and bracelets are gorgeous but these necklaces that I picked up are so beautiful and they look so expensive!

Shoes. I'm obsessed with them lately. I've already bought my Christmas shoes from River Island but that didn't stop me from falling in love with these babies. The shoes are a gorgeous burgundy colour which is right on trend. Everything about these shoes are just perfect! How cute are the Christmas socks? I especially love the Christmas pudding socks, they'll go perfect with my Christmas pudding hat that I bought from Primark! (see post here)

So as you can see, Topshop has so amazing pieces. I can't wait to do my Christmas shopping to get my hands on the fur coat! I'll definitely be going into Topshop more often, even if my purse is begging me not too!

What is on you Topshop Wishlist?

Outfit Of The Day | Explicit Content

What I'm Wearing: JUMPER  H&M | SHOES, Primark | SKIRT, Vintage.

This is the first OOTD post in what feels like months! The weather is so cold month so I decided to buy yet another jumper. I've recently been buying all of my snuggly/cosy clothes from Forever 21 but this jumper is from one of my favourite shops ever, H&M! The main reason why I bought this jumper was because of the 'Parental Advisory' lable! I think this lable pretty much sums up my rock music taste, haha. The skirt is an old favourite that I discovered while searching around Ebay. So, this is a simple yet chic outfit which is becoming a fast favourite!

By the way, I just though I'd mention that I know I'm doing all the outfit posts recently but this is down to Rachel hating her darker hair colour. Thankfully, She's getting it dyed back blonde on Thursday so we'll be doing a hair post on that!  I think she looks gorgeous as always :)

I hope your all having a great November so far!

Sweetie

What I'm Wearing: TOP,  H&M | SHOES, Primark | SKIRT, Primark.

I thought I'd do a quick little outfit post today as the sun was out shining which is so unusual as it's been raining so much lately! I actually think I'm coming down with something which is not fun but atleast I had this cute little outfit on to cheer me up! How could I resist this sweet little top from H&M? H&M is such a great shop for little pieces like this top and I'm obsessed. I decided to add a black top underneath as the weather is getting colder and I actually think it matches perfectly! The gorgeous fluffy skirt is my new obsession and I don't think I'll ever take it off. I adore it so much as I think it has a 'clueless' vibe to it! I'm also wearing my new Topshop rings. Who knew Topshop were so good for accessories? I just love how much accessories add to an outfit! The necklace is from Asos and I haven't had it off since I bought it in June.

Hope everyone has had a good week so far!
Love Leah. x
