Primark Autumn/Winter 2012: My picks

I pretty much love Primark all year round, it has it's crappy times quite often throughout the year but it just always seems to really come into it's own during the Autumn/Winter months, and at this time every year I find myself almost physically craving weekly trips as much as Augustus Gloop craves Wonka bars...no joke... ;) I did a bit of a spree in there a couple of weeks ago, but after going through InStyle's editors picks tonight I can see that another one is well and truly on the cards... 

Clockwise from top left

001-Triangle Necklace £3

002-Star stud jumper £14

003-Pink and grey knit bobble hat £3

004-Embellished collar dress £17

005-Grey stripe knit £6

006-Moustache slippers £8

007-Black sequin striped jumper £12

008-Chiffon maxi dress £18

009-Gold spike necklace £4

010-Berry knit snood £5

011-Fringe font khaki t-shirt £7

012-Stud pocket khaki trousers £13

013-Black cuban ankle boots £18

014-Textured rings £3

015 (centre) - Tiger tip chiffon top £7

0.1% Half of me is hoping that as it is just before Xmas and not an ideal time to be spending money on myself that at least a few of these items will look a lot less desirable in real life as is often the Primark way, but I think I did well to pick only 15 out of the 99 editors picks so maybe I should feed my inner Gloop and reward myself for being so frugal? ;)

Primark Haul video

Happy Friday!!

I did a bit of shopping at the beginning of this week and Primark was having one of its good days so I picked up quite a few bits and pieces which prompted me to get my butt into gear and film a long overdue Haul video for my You Tube channel! I was so so nervous sitting talking into the camera so apologies at my pleb like behaviour if you do watch the video! Anyway just a quickie from me as I have a big old pile of stuff to clear up now and I can already hear the pub calling my name ;) 

I hope you all have a luverrrrly weekend

EOTD: Autumn trend/Graphic lines

Hey Girls,
Yesterday I got my subscription email from In style magazine, which had a section on Autumn/Winter eyeliner trends, one in particular caught my eye (geddit eye haha.Small minds!) It was a trend used in the Louis Vuitton A/W 2011 ad campaign in which the models wore a stroke of liquid liner drawn freehand in the inner corner of the eye.

This afternoon I had a bit of spare time, so as always when this happens, I sat on my bedroom floor with my make-up and entertained myself, kind of like a toddler with a packet of crayons. I purchased a few Sleek palette's a couple of weeks ago and hadn't really had much chance to use them, so as the weather has finally decided to get in the right season I went with the sunset palette which has some gorgeous colours in it that really scream Autumn. I think the LV eyeliner trend must have settled it's self into my subconscious because after I had finished applying the winged liner my hand was kind of drawn into the inner tear duct area and was happily drawing a line there aswell...

The Sleek Sunset palette

Anyone for a bit of extra forehead? Crop fail :(

On the one hand it's a bit cheeky to call this an eye of the day as I haven't been out around town wearing this look, however on the other it's so on the money as I only did the one eye and am still wearing it. I have to pop to the local shop now, I wonder if the one eyed make-up look will go down well...I'll let you know ;) xxx
