November Wish List!

Aloha!
 
It is currently nearly half way through the month which means I have already started thinking about what I am going to buy with my next wage ;) There are so many things I would like, but a few things I am deffinitley considering spending my next wage on are listed below. I have also started buying Christmas presents for people! So expect my very own Christmas Wish List coming soon : )
 
 
I have wanted a pair of Ugg Meenas for ever! They are just the cutest little things ever! They look so cosy yet not as full on as Ugg boots. I have about 3 pairs of Ugg boots and my latest pair are nearly done with the amount I wear them!
 
 
 
Elle at Dreaming in Blush absolutely swears by this Christian Dior Creme de Rose Smoothing plumping lip balm. I watch all her youtube videos and she makes out that its the holy grail of lip products. I must have this!! Also, its meant to smell absolutely gorgeous!! 
 
 
I have just about finished my bottle of foundation so am looking for a new one. I have heard such good things about this Chanel Perfection Lumiere Fluid foundation. And based on my latest Chanel products it must be amazing! 
 
 
As it is starting to get colder, I have been wearing my Hollister parka to work. However, I don't think it goes well with my usual work attire so I would love to get a trench coat/mac. This one from Gant is lovely and looks really sophisticated!
 
 
I am absolutely obsessed with buying stuff for my home. I love neutral colours like creams and have been looking for a new rug for my living room for ages! This one from IKEA is deffinitley the one, so I'm going to start nagging Guy to go halfers with me when we get paid ;)
 
 
Lately to wind down before bed, I have been lighting a candle. I feel like it really helps me relax and de-stress me, however my current Yankee bedside candle I have is nearly gone. I think its called Sparkling Snow from last years Christmas collection. These large candles burn for about 110 hours so they're absolutely a must for the cold winter nights to come! I am deffinitley getting Yankee Candle's Snowflake Cookie on my next shopping trip!
 
This wish list has turned into a 'deffinitley getting when I get paid list', ha ha! What are you guys wanting to get when you next get paid? Let me know in the comments below : )

PS. I will be announcing the winner of my 50 followers giveaway shortly ; )

The Autumn Tag


Tag creator - www.makeup-pixi3.com
 
I spotted this tag on www.makeup-pixi3.com and thought it was an excellent idea for a post! I am going to tag some fellow bloggers at the end of this post but feel free to do the tag!
 
1.    Favourite thing about autumn?
Oh that’s hard! I don’t think I only have one main favourite to be honest. I love everything about autumn. The colours (leaves, fashion), smells (burning leaves), tastes (pumpkin spiced lattes)…everything!!
 
2.    Favourite drink?
It has to be either the pumpkin spiced lattes that Starbucks do at this time of year or Nescafe’s instant gingerbread latte! Wouldn’t say no to a hot chocolate though ;)
 
3.    Favourite scent/candle?
Well I’ve already mentioned that I love the smell of burning leaves. So candle wise, I love Yankee candle ‘blissful autumn’ and ‘fireside treats’.
 
4.    Best lipstick?
I usually stick to the same colours all year round which is bad! So I am gonna try hard to work a dark lip this fall/winter. I particularly like the vampy look.
 
5.    Go to moisturiser?
Definitely Clinique’s dramatically different moisture lotion for combination/oily skin J
 
6.    Go to colours for the eyes?
I always tend to do a smokey eye, usually like to use brighter colours in the spring/summertime but I love a dark smokey eye for the fall.
 
7.    Favourite music or band/singer to listen to?
I love to listen to Paramore and Florence & the Machine at this time of year. I think Hayley’s and Florence’s voice are really suited to the colder months if that makes sense!
 
8.    Favourite outfit to wear?
Layers! Lots and lots of layers!! Boots/uggs, leg warmers, tights, shorts, vest, long cardigan and a scarf!
 
9.    Autumn treat?
Lots and lots of cuddles to keep warm!
 
10. Favourite place to be?
Definitely at home, with candles lit, watching a film, drinking hot chocolate whilst cuddling into my boyfriend and kitten.
 
Hope you have enjoyed reading my answers!

My Fall Must Haves

Happy Monday everybody!

I noticed this morning on my way to work that its getting slightly chiller which made me realise that Autumn is just around the corner. Autumn is my favourite season due to the crisp air, beautiful colours and gorgeous smells.

Here are a few of my Autumn must haves...

Pumpkin Cupcake 14.5 oz. 3-Wick Candle - Slatkin & Co. - Bath & Body Works
Pumpkin cupcake candle which can be found here
I love Bath & Bodyworks candles, I'm from the UK, so I found it really difficult to obtain them. I usually either purchase mine from eBay or The Bath and Body Shop.

Cream (Cream) Cream Popcorn Knitted Snood | 288365713 | New Look
Cream popcorn knitted snood which can be found here
I find New Look scarves so cozy, and they're great value for money!

Luxury White Hot Chocolate
There nothing better than a mug of hot chocolate and the temperatures start to fall. Fill your favourite mug with Whittard's Luxury White Hot Chocolate and pop in some mini marshmallows.



And when it starts to get really cold, jump into a warm bath and dunk in one of these babies and watch the colours change. The twilight bath bomb has to be my favourite product from Lush.

What are your favourites for Fall? Let me know below as I love to try new products!!
