Shirt, jumper dress, boots - Newlook

Please don't tell me you've never posted with messy hair, I do this to my hair quite abit lately - although usually with an extension in to make the bun bigger and better but heeeeeey, were all human! I've been wearing long jumpers a fair bit with long socks or tights with similar sock like qualities. This is quite a grungey outfit post for me, but I'm embracing it. Super comfy over here!

Mac x cinderella : collab revealed
I am a loyal follower of Mac, and every time a limited edition collection arrives I usually scout it out, Disney are releasing a new Cinderella film set to come out in March this year and it seems mac have jumped on the band waggon in their usual style. The most common image circulating I've found is the top packaging with the black and gold style packaging which alot of people agreed - left alot to imagination when you here the words Cinderella cosmetics collection. However, searching a little deeper into the interweb I've came across these much nicer blue packaged pieces and I'm even more excited than previously thought possible. As always I'm sure this collection will sell out instantly, Mac haven't released a launch date however again the circulation date I've found for the UK is just currently early march. I've also found a line list - but again I'm not sure how legit this is. Hopefully judging from pictures this collection looks really wearable, and I'll be sure to review when not if I get my hands on some pieces! If you are anything like me and follow/collect mac you'll understand my excitement! bring on march!
Circulating line list:
Gloss : Happily Ever After / Glass Slipper
Lipsticks : Secret Lover / Royal Ball

Shirt & skirt - Dorothy Perkins
Tights - Primark
Lipstick - Mac 'twig'
I always overlook Dorothy Perkins as a brand but I happened to pop into their sale in Southampton just before xmas and I was shocked by a) how cheap the sale was b) how good the stock in the sale was! I think this shirt was £15 and the skirt was around £10 for a navy PU skirt I think that this was a steal! I've really become a fan of shirts again lately, they really smarten up an outfit I feel. And as for the print on this shirt? well it was a no brainer.
Did you pick up any winter sale bargains?

Beauty bucket list
Inspired by the lovely Megans' post earlier in the week on her beauty bucket list I thought I'd share my on-going lust list, full of products that I'm yet to splurge on and that will be purchased in the very near future...
005 Ren clarimatte cleanser || I had refused to look at Ren products for a long time because I thought they'd be out of my price range, however I recently investigated this theory and had a pleasent discovery that they are actually really reasonable. This product boasts of many pluses, but I'm especially attracted by the unclogging pores and reducing their apperance promise .. get at me.
What beauty products have you been lusting after?

wiwt : sully inspired
Fur jacket - Choies.com
Jumper - Anita & Green @ Newlook
Necklace - Topshop
Jumper - Anita & Green @ Newlook
Necklace - Topshop
Hat, wet look leggings and boots - Newlook
Lipstick - Rihanna for Mac (Limited edition)
I'm going to claim this outfit as a Sully from monsters inc inspired master piece because of the fur and colours in the jumper aha. Dan actually complimented me on this outfit yesterday (which is rare lol) which is why I decided to share it despite it being quite dressed down. Anita & Green is a label lounge brand at Newlook and I've really been enjoying the bits that have landed in store. I brought it oversized and paired with really fitted leggings to ensure a flattering silohette! I'm really enjoying mixing black textures too e.g. the wet look leggings with the patent boots - I just feel like it adds another dimenson to the outfit and I really want to experiment with this in the new year!

How to style a two piece : from chavtastic to stylish
Jacket and trousers - Missguided
Backpack - 'Wild at heart' Grafea
T-shirt, hat and shoes - Newlook
Have you spotted that I found an adequate inside location yet? FINALLY. I treated myself to this Grafea back pack from the Oposites attract collection when I got my mini promotion a while back and its been glued to my back ever since... although I'm not sure how long it will stay white for, Its a beauty isn't it?
I brought this two piece from missguided in the sale and when it arrived I was SO intimidated by it I nearly sent it back. By needless to say I think with the right styling jacket and trouser two pieces can look so on trend. If you are thinking about purchasing one, my two main pieces of advice would be to stay clear of wearing them with trainers to avoid the tracksuit look (eeeep!) and use a chunky belt to define you're waist and ensure the trousers look formal. Since styling this up I've really enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to wearing them separate too!
What pieces have you been trying lately?

Happy 2015 everyone! how late am I? I've been meaning to post for such a long time, I have so many new goodies to share and I feel I really missed the post what you got for Christmas which is a massive bummer! But alas, its 2015 and one of my new years resolution is to blog a hell of a lot more. I've been away for a while as I previously mentioned, I was on visual management cover for Newlook in Southampton for a stretch of 5 weeks, which got cut short when I got rushed to hospital with suspected meningitis, which in the end was luckily just a severe kidney infection and glandular fever - So i spent the beginning of the year bed ridden! I also have some even bigger news - I got engaged! Daniel proposed to me on boxing day whilst we were celebrating my early birthday and it was perfect. I think I'll be scheduling a post all about what happened in the next coming weeks!
To the outfit at hand, I waited for this skirt to drop into the sale for SO long, if you read my blog often I'm sure you are sick of seeing so many midi skirts! but this is scuba and its so fit and flare, it gives you the most flattering silhouette. I've also ventured into roll necks after realising I can balance them out if I wear a trusty hat. I am trying to grow my hair now, so I'm afraid fedoras and floppy hats are here to stay!
How has the start to you're new year been?
