OOTD & Wait & Braid | Galaxy Tie Dye Dress and 90s/Grungy Side Pony

What I'm Wearing: DRESS, Urban Outfitters | DENIM JACKET, ASOS | BEST BITCHES BEST FRIENDS NECKLACE, Shop Moon Child | LIPSTICK, MAC Diva.

Is anyone else obsessed with the 90's style? because I know I am! Recently, I have been trying out more hairstyles and I had to look for some inspiration. Youtube is always amazing for hair tutorials and I found some really gorgeous and unique 90's hair styles. Some of them are classic 90's (think little cute buns and half up-half down hairstyles) but other hair styles are a little more modern. This hairstyle that I'm wearing in this post is the perfect balance of mordern and 90's. It's an easy but impressive side pony! Because it's not just a side pony, I've done two little plaits in the pony tail. I think the braids really thicken the ponytail up and it looks so grungy and messy. This hair style that is definitely going to become a favourite. Look how cute it is too!

I think this dress is nineties too. It's velvet and tye dye. I'm wearing my all time favourite jacket too. Denim jackets are always a winner! I literally haven't been able to take this jacket off since buying it!

Do you love the 90's style?

Face Of The Day & OOTD

I thought I'd do a quick post today on my makeup because I'm currently loving the Makeup Revolution ultra FLAWLESS palette! Honestly, I wish I discovered this brand sooner because the flawless palette is probably my favourite eyeshadow palette ever. I'll make sure to do a review on it soon because it really is a must have! I'm wearing Benefit's Porefessional primer and Rimmel's stay matte foundation. I also used collection's concealer and Rimmel's clear complexion powder. I have combination skin and all of those products really help keep my skin looking matte through out the day. I love wearing the new creme puff blusher in 'gorgeous berries' from Max Factor (review here). It's honestly my favourite blusher ever. My inner goth came out today so I just had to wear MAC's Cyber lipstick.

What I'm Wearing: GILET Primark | DRESS, Urban Outfitters | NECKLACE, New Look | BOOTS, River Island.

Your looking at the best boots that ever existed. I love these boots and I haven't taken them off since I got them for my birthday last month. They even have fur inside of them! I've always wanted boots like this and I can't believe I found them in the River Island sale. River Island always do the best sales. I also found this Urban Outfitters dress in the sale. I just love black velvet dresses and I just needed to have this in my wardrobe. I don't usually go in Urban Outtfitters as it's just too expensive and I already have no money, haha.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend :) 
Love, Rachel. x

Things That Have Made Me Happy This Week


Rachel wearing MAC 'Diva' lipstick | Our four new MAC lipsticks! | Amazing tees in Topshop | Benefit mini skincare kit | Birthday necklace | Urban Outfitter's tie dye dress | Best friends Heidi & Megan | Leah wearing MAC 'Dubonnet' lipstick | Finally finished my Audrey Hepburn drawing!

As complete lipstick junkies, we went along to MAC on Sunday and bought four new lipsticks. The shades we bought were 'Diva, Spirit, Dubonnet and Spice it up!' We're gonna write a review on them all that should be up on the blog on Moday :)

Topshop have amazing tees in at the moment like this Megadeth one! Our birthday is coming up in February and my birthday necklace arrived and I can't believe how stunning it is. It's from Swarovski and it was luckily in the sale. This dress from Urban Outfitters was also in the sale and you can see it in our ootd post here. We're also testing out the Benefit skincare for the first time with this mini kit from ASOS. I'm so suprised at how amazing it as and it's definitely on my birthday wish list!

I'm also really happy because I finally finished my drawing of Audrey Hepburn's eyes! I'm still a newbie to art after not drawing for years but I'm really happy with how it turned out at the end! I also included a pic of Heidi & Megan. Megan is our older sister's dog and she's 11 years old. Meg is best friends with our dog Heidi and she's so happy to be staying over at our house for a week while her mum is on holiday!

We hope you all enjoyed this post as we're wanting to do more lifestyle posts on the blog! I hope you all had a great week and have a great weekend! 
Love Rachel & Leah, x

TIE DYE | Velvet Dress.

What I'm Wearing: DRESS, Urban Outfitters |  SHOES, Topshop

The weather might be horrible and wet but absolutely nothing was going to stop me trying to get photographs of me wearing this dress from Urban Outfitters. It's like a storm outside with the wind and rain so that's why I look a mess in these photos but look at that dress! I'm in love with it. Urban Outfitters is a shop I've only just discovered in the past few weeks and I've already blown so much of my money in there. It's pretty expensive but I was very fortunate to have found this dress in the sale!

I love how unusal this dress is. I love the different gray, sliver and white colours in the tie dye. Of course it's in my favourite material too - velvet. My shoes are also velvet and from Topshop. I decided to opt for a different colour rather than the usual blak shoe I go for. They are like a purple colour but understated too. In the photo they look really purple but I promise they don't look that bright in real life!

Have you shopped in Urban Outfitters?
