Hello everybody!

So, as winter is on the horizon, I decided I needed a new wardrobe... obviously. So what better way to start than to make a wish list?! I have created three outfits which I LOVE, so fingers crossed I get to wear them!

Outfit one

This outfit was based all around the coat, because I instantly fell in love with it! (I have even brought this coat since writing this post!) I think this coat is gorgeous. I needed a casual winter coat, so I wanted a belted coat style, but then I found the faux fur around this instantly made this coat look more formal and sophisticated. The fur can also be taken off if you wanted a more casual look. So next thing I teamed it up with was some over the knee heeled boots to make the look classier. Now as the coat added enough detail to the outfit, I wanted everything else to be quite simple and not too over the top, so this pair of classic jeans for Topshop were perfect, as well as the crop top which looks so cute with a little bit of scallop detail.

Outfit two

Next up, I wanted to create a more casual outfit, and found these cute trainers, which are so easy to pair with anything from dresses to jeans. I chose to pair it with jodphur trousers to make the outfit even more comfortable.

Outfit three

Just because it’s cold, who says you can't wear a skirt?! Especially this leather look a line skirt! I love the shape of this skirt and the colour makes it feel so warm and comfortable. This teamed with cute roll neck jumper and thermal tights from Primark; you would not only be warm, but so stylish!

Hey guys!

I have a little cheeky extra post for you today. As I was going through the photos for my curly hair post, I saw so many photos of me pulling funny faces. I did not know how many face I pull just getting ready in the morning, and I had a little laugh to myself flicking through these photos so I thought I would share them with you so that you can have a little giggle to yourself too.

Do you pull funny faces whilst you’re getting ready or is it just me?! I hope not!

Hope you enjoyed this, and I will see you in a couple of days for another post!

See you soon,

Love Ky 

Curley hair for thin hair!

Hey guys!

I have been curing my hair a lot recently, and I have loved it. I feel like it makes a look go from casual to dressed up so easily. I’ve always looked around for hair tutorials for curly hair, but they have never worked for me. I would love big bouncy Victoria secret waves, but my hair sis so thin it just doesn’t work! (Insert grumpy emoji here). They always worked when I wore my extensions, because although they don’t add any length now, they add a lot of volume, but I always find extensions annoying for various reasons,

1. Sooo annoying to put it

2. Really uncomfortable to wear

3. You’re very on edge that they’re showing all day

Does anyone else feel like this or is it just me?

So anyway, rant over... I wanted to have curly hair without the extensions, so then I have been trying out this hairstyle for a while now and I love it. It’s just general curls, but instead of doing very thick layers and sections, I find doing very small sections works so well. It gives your hair SO much volume and the curls stay in all day!

So let’s get started.

Firstly I like to start with second day hair because I feel like it’s so much easier to work with. When you’ve just washed your hair is so soft that none of the curls really stay in. I use a bit of dry shampoo so that it doesn’t get greasy throughout the day.

So start off with sectioning your hair. I do mine in three sections, which really isn’t much for my hair. Each section is tiny. Once I’ve put the sections into place I spray my hair all over with heat protector. Each section I curl is roughly 1cm thick. I then grab my trusty straighteners and starting from the top of my hair I grab my hair in-between the two irons then twist my hair around it as I’m dragging the straighteners down.

I do exactly the same with the rest of my hair, but I alternate the direction of the curls so that it looks more natural.

After this I spray a LOT of hair spray to hold it all in place.

After this, I like to brush my hair to loosen the curls a bit because they’re a little bit crazy at this point. And then spray yet more hair spray.

And that’s the completed look!

I love doing this look and it takes no time at all! I hope you like it just as much as me and definitely show me if you recreate it!

Do you like posts like these or do you like more foodie posts? Or do you like a bit of everything?

Be sure to let me know in the comments!

Triple braid

Hi there!

I have a little beauty post for you today, the triple braid. I love this hairstyle because it is so quick and simple yet looks like you have sent ages on your hair. So let’s get started!

First off, I tend to use second day hair for this as I fell like it has more grip and holds the braid better.

When I washed my hair I used the L’Oreal elvive fiberology shampoo and conditioner. These are my new favourite! I have noticed my hair is slightly thicker, but not a lot, but it makes my hair super soft! I then used the herbal essence conditioning hair treatment as I haven’t used one in a while and felt like my hair needed it! I then finished this off with the L’Oreal mythic oil in the ends of my hair to give it a nice shine.

I didn’t apply any heat to my hair, I left it to dry naturally so that it has a natural wave and styles better.

Bring all you hair to one side of your head; I leave my fringe out to style later on.

Just like a normal braid, spilt your hair into three and secure each one with an elastic band. With one of the three start a normal braid then secure the end.

With another section, create a fishtail plait. This is exactly the same as a normal braid but with four sections instead of three, bringing each end into the middle until you have reached the end. Then secure with an elastic.

Now this is optional, pull each braid out a little so it looks a little messy. I love to do this because it gives more texture to the braid.

Then, make a normal braid using the remainder of the sections and secure and that’s the braid done!

I like to pull small sections of my hair from around my face and curl them as I fell like it look flattering.

And that’s the completed look!

This look is so versatile. You can pop it into a bun to create more of a textured bun, make the braids into piggy tails, or recreate them into milkmaid braids.I love this look and it is my go to hairstyle! I would love to see if you recreate this hairstyle so leave my links in the comments if you do!

Love, Ky 

First Impressions: Barry M Sunset Daylight Curing

Hey guys!

So, as you may remember from my Girl Night In post, I do not do very well with painted nails, however I have heard so many good things about the new Barry M Sunset Daylight Curing Nail Paint. Although there were many good reviews on this nail paint, I still did not want to try it as I knew that I would still probably chip it within a day. It wasn’t until I was at work, and a friend of mine had the nail paint on and had so many compliments on it, it did look beautiful. Not only that, it lasted so long on her! After this... I had to get it! So I thought I would do a first impressions post.

**Description taken from Barry M**

 Barry M’s new Sunset Daylight Curing Nail Paint and Topcoat deliver the look and resilience of pro salon gel nails without a UV lamp or the expense! All you need is a Sunset colour and the Sunset Topcoat – no need for a basecoat as the special formulation bonds to the nail like a gel in daylight but can still be removed with a regular remover. Hi shine, long lasting gel nails have never been so easy!

Colour

I love the colour! I think that was one of the main reasons that pulled me in. They’re lovely and summery adding a pop of colour to any outfit. I went for ‘Peach for the stars’ and ‘Fuchsia Generation’. I love the names... they’re so creative and brought a smile to my face when I read it, (and a little sing song!) it was very hard choosing  colour to go for as they’re all beautiful, so if the nail paint lives up to its expectations I will defiantly be getting them all!

Formulation

The nail paint was so easy to apply. I actually think that it was probably the easiest I have every applied, I usually do the left had perfect but paint the whole finger when it comes to my right hand! It wasn’t too liquidly so that it ends up everywhere, but not too thick so that it’s hard to apply a thin layer.

Drying time

In regards to drying time, it was so fast! I didn’t feel as though I had to wait ages to apply each layer, or stand around waving my hands around like a lunatic. However, that in mind, a friend of mine said that she waited ages for hers to dry. When I applied mine I was watching Game of Thrones and was hooked, so it did not feel as though I was waiting. My advice would be to watch TV or do something that doesn’t require your hands so that it does not feel as though you’re waiting for ages.

Price

Personally for me, I do not think that the nail polish is cheap for everyone. Each nail paint is £4.99; however the colour works best with the top coat, making it £9.98 for the set. As that’s just one colour it may not be easily accessible for all ages. On the other hand (no pun intended), it is suppossed to be an alternaieve to salon gel nails, so it is so much heaper, plus the fact that you can use over and over again so the price is kind of justified. 

I will report back next week on how well this has lasted! Fingers crossed I've found the one! 

Love, Ky
