Monochrome Trap

I feel i have well and truly been pulled into the Monochrome trend of the season.

Black, white, grey is all i seem to live in lately! possibly reflecting the miserable weather that won't shift..

It is easy to be pulled into the monochrome trap, and being a trend this season gives us an excuse, but i need some colour in my life!

So, to brighten up my wardrobe and life, i treated myself to a lovely long sleeved midi dress from Topshop for a friends birthday!

ok, so i know it has black on it still - but the gorgeous turquoise attracted me instantly!

Topshop dress - £32

I accessorised it with this silver layered necklace from H&M - £7.99

and i wore my heeled ankle boots from H&M - £24.99

I was warm enough for the cold evenings and dressy enough for a night out!

I think I need to start brightening up my wardrobe in order to bring on Spring

they're Real! Review

I know i've been rather slack with my blog lately!

Been a busy couple of weeks, but with easter looming, hopefully I will have some more time on my hands :)

So, a couple of weeks ago i went to London Fashion Weekend and received a freebie Benefit mascara sample.

and oh boy is it good!!

'they're Real!'

I normally can't justify £18.50 on a mascara...

but this i feel i can.

I have fairly long eyelashes but they are fair, so i layer up on the mascara.. but with this benefit one, I can use 1/2 strokes and voila!

No wonder it's the UK'S No. 1 bestseller! (and out of stock online)

Thanks!
