An Outfit for those Rainy Days

 What I'm Wearing : JUMPER Forever 21, SHOES, River Island, SKIRT Boohoo, GLOVES H&M.

Is it just me or has it suddenly turned into Winter over night? I can't deal with the coldness anymore. It's Thursday today and that means one thing - Rachel is getting her hair dyed tonight! I'm really excited to see what it turns out like and of course so is Rach. Expect photographs soon!

Anyway, back to the post! Only yesterday I decided to treat myself to much needed jumpers and there is no better place for a good fluffy jumper than Forever 21! You must see the amazing jumpers in that place, they are seriously perfect and affortable too! I bought two new jumpers, the one in the photo's being one of them. Just as well too as it's been raining all day. Luckily, this has got to be one of the warmest jumpers I got. It's quite heavy, got a lovely patteren and I just love the shape of it too.

I worn the jumper with my good old burgundy shoes from River Island that I bought last year. I haven't taken them off recently, perfect for Autumn! And introducing this beautiful velvet skirt from Boohoo.com. I'm obsessed with velvet and this skirt is my new love.

What do you think about my new outfit?

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! 
Love Leah. x

River Island Wishlist.

 Above - VELVET TOP / PENDANT NECKLACE £4 / LEOPARD FUR COAT £100 / CUTE AND CREEPY TOP £10 / CHUNKY LACE UP BOOTS £38 /  KNEE HIGH BOOTS £95 / TINSEL MINI SKIRT £20 / FUR SLOUCH BAG £37 / FAUX FUR BIKER JACKET £65.

Oh, life is tough when you've got little money and all you want to do spend money on clothes! You may or not have noticed that we are both in love with the shop, River Island. We've been a massive fan of the shop for years now but lately River Island has been beating almost every other highstreet store out there. I must admit that H&M has also been really great these last couple of months. I've just arranged a little collage of my current faves in River Island at the moment. What do you think? I'm really loving the shoes and I'll probably be getting the boots in time for Christmas!

Autumn clothes have always been my favourite style but with Winter fast approaching, I've been really loving the fur coats that have been arriving in shops. I think I've fallen in love with the leather coat with the cute fur collar. A different twist on a leather coat is a winner in my eyes.

What's on your wishlist this month?

What's In My Bag?

I've seen a lot of bloggers do this kind of post for their blog so I thought I'd join in! Recently, I've been wearing my beautiful pale pink arm candy from River Island. I love this bag. I got this as a present for Christmas last year and I just adore it. I always have my beloved animal print purse around with me which was also from River Island (can you guess what my favourite clothes shop is?) I also got this purse last year and I haven't stopped using it since then, isn't it gorgeous?! 

I always carry around a good lipstick and most recently I've been wearing my MAC mehr lipstick. I love this dusky pink matte lippie. You can't beat MAC lipsticks can you? I also love using Maybelline baby lips lipbalm. Some people find these balms drying but I personally love them. I have three other colours but I love this pink shade for a pop of colour. My other essentials that I carry around with me are my Marilyn Monroe compact mirror and my mobile phone. I also love using Lanolips hand cream. Hand cream is a must for me, especially during this time of year. The smell is just gorgeous too!

What do you carry around in your bag? 
Love Rachel. x

Halloween | Carving the Pumpkins

It's nearly Halloween so Me and Leah finally decided to carve our pumpkins! I always have good memories of carving out the pumpkin and this was no different. I love the whole process. There are so many ideas on Google to choose from! I'd really love to attempt one of the really artisit ones like the witches and other different ideas. However, this year we stuck to a traditional spooky face but I think they look quite cute!

Who knew carving pumpkins was so exhausting though? At least at the end of it we have a cute little pumpkins lighting up the whole room.

Do you carve a pumpkin at Halloween?

Reasons Why October Has Been Our Favourite Month.

Seeing pumpkins in the shops, Halloween costumes, and us putting makeup all over our faces in the spirit of Halloween. It must be October! We love October and if you've been reading our blog recently, you'll already know how much we love Autumn! October is always a different month with the excitement of Halloween - we love it, the darker night and colder days and the mark of the end the year. I'd go as far as to say that October has been our favourite month of the year so far! Here are some of our reasons why... I'm sad this month is coming to an end!

1. Look what our Dad got us from Sayers on Saturday. How cute is this little Halloween inspired cupcake? I really loved it too. Thanks Dad! It's not every day you see a spider cupcake, is it?

2. We've also really enjoyed going on walks with our little doggy, Heidi. Needless to say, she's really enjoyed her Autumn walks too! and your never too old to love stepping on those crunchy red and orange leaves!

3. The fashion in the shops in the best it's been all year. That in itself has made this my favourite month! I love getting new clothes, I have a slight problem! But it's hard to resist getting new cosy jumpers and the latest A/W fashion trends. H&M is currently our favourite shop.

4. Okay, not everyone will get excited about this but Slipknot's new album came out last week and we are MASSIVE fans. Let's not get into that shall we because I'll start fangirling :)

5. We're seeing Slipknot in January! We ordered our tickets two weeks ago and now Christmas has taken a back seat. We're more excited for January now!

6. We've been loving the colder nights too. It makes 'pamper' night even better.

7. This month we both started drawing and getting back into art again. I'm not sure why we stopped but we are both really enjoying it again!

8. I'm really going to miss posting all out lastest Halloween looks on the blog! I've really loved doing them. The nail art is so cute but I also loved experimenting with different Halloween makeup looks.
I hope everyone has a great Halloween!
