My Winter Favourites

Well, it's hard to believe that we're at the end of winter and the warmer months are fast approaching! Seriously, where does the year go? I love winter in general so I'm sad that it's almost over as it's been an amazing few months fashion wise and just having those much-needed snuggle days by the heater, watching a favourite movie with a cappuccino in hand. In honour of winter I have decided to let you all in on some of my winter favourites. Enjoy! 

Bombardier Designs Soy Candle $34.95

If you follow me on Instagram and have read my post from June then you know that I am totally loving Bombardier Designs' soy candles. So far I have purchased two personalised candles from the lovely Kayla Bombardier, and have been burning them all winter long! They are such a fabulous idea for a gift, which is what I have just purchased my mum for her upcoming birthday. Being black and white, these candles look so beautiful around the home and I know that my collection will definitely be growing as I just can't get enough. My favourite scents are Pink Peony, French Vanilla and Roasted Coffee.

S&P Reflect Mirror Tray $29.95

I LOVE my latest purchase, which isn't just my winter favourite as I will be using it all year round. In saying that, this S&P has become a must in a lot of homes (as I've noticed on Instagram) and it's not hard to see why. It's such a gorgeous tray to serve drinks on or to just have looking pretty as a main feature on your coffee table. You can put candles, skulls, and/or any other interesting and beautiful accessories on it. So far this is how I have styled mine although I'm always changing it up and doing something new so watch this space!

Williamsburg Bucket Bag $39.95

LOVE LOVE LOVE! As soon as I saw this beauty I knew it would be fab for a casual day out or a dinner date. It's such an Alexander Wang inspired handbag, which is great for the bank account! ;) I have used this so much lately and recommend it. You can purchase the Williamsburg Bucket Bag from Dotti, either online or in-store.

Coco Chanel Noir $248

Two words come to mind when I think of this perfume… Très chic! It is the perfect scent for winter and it is just so AMAZING that I have been wearing it all day every day just about. I recently blogged about Coco Noir so you can read all about it in my previous post, "My Chanel Favourites".

Senso Ita Boot $295

I personally think that each girl should have a pair of these bad boys in their shoe-drobe as they are without a doubt the most wearable booties. I have worn these day in and day out, whether it be on a shopping spree or out for dinner. PERFECTION! These shoes are a staple for the winter months and I am so glad I purchased them as they are worth every cent.

There you have it! Goodbye winter and hello to spring. I am really looking forward to the upcoming season, especially for the fashion and trends. It's going to be a fun few months!

My Chanel Favourites

Hi everyone,

I feel as though I haven't blogged in awhile so I'm going to make this post an extra good one. ;) Today I updated my Chanel beauty products as I was long overdue! I mean, who doesn't love a bit of Chanel in their lives... (this post is sounding good already.) I am super happy with my new products and have decided to share them with you all. 

Coco Chanel Noir

I love love love the smell of this gorgeous perfume! It is a perfect scent for these cold months and is very long-lasting. I recently used up all of my Chance Chanel perfume and was in desperate need of a new one. I couldn't decide on whether or not to stay with Chance or try another so I decided to try Noir and after one whiff I was sold! If you're looking for the perfect Chanel perfume then look no further than Coco Chanel Noir.

Perfection Lumièr Long-Wear Flawless Fluid Makeup: SPF 10 30 BEIGE

I am absolutely obsessed with this foundation! Three amazing facts: it's perfect for people who have oily skin (like myself), it's long-lasting and leaves a smooth, photo finish look. I dislike foundations that leave girls looking like a cake face so once the Chanel consultant applied this shade to my skin I knew it was going to be my new go-to. Effortless to apply, with seamless blendability for a naturally flawless effect, this breakthrough foundation is the ideal all-day, everyday formula - suitable for a majority of skin types in a diverse range of 20 shades. The shade I purchased is the SPF 10, 30 Beige. My skin is quite fair and I've always had trouble finding a perfect shade that isn't too light or too dark and I'm so glad this one is the perfect match. 

Correction Perfection Long Lasting Concealer: 20 BEIGE IVOIRE

To go with my foundation is this Correction Perfection concealer. I will be using this for random blemishes on my face as well as those dark circles that nobody likes. Again, this concealer leaves a flawless finish and does exactly what the name says - corrects your imperfections.

To all my Chanel lovers, you can purchase any of these items from Myer and they aren't exactly inexpensive so I would suggest that you get a Chanel consultant to advise you on the perfect shade that will match your skin tone. 

Happy Shopping!
