October Favourites 2013

Hello! Can you believe it's November already?! Before it gets too far into the month I thought I'd share with you some of my favourites from October.

Tartan Dress

So, the tartan trend is well on its way and I just love how wintery and warm it looks. I'm a big fan of both the classic red and green styles, from skirts to coats. I recently got this beautiful dress from Primark! And at £15 - what a bargain! I absolutely love the fit and I think the colour makes it even more adorable. I imagine these are still in stock, but I know they are very popular!

Travel the World necklace

I want to travel the world. I know a couple of people that have have taken a year out and experienced the world, and I would love to do the same.

I love travelling and going to new places, so when I saw this adorable necklace in Accessorize, it summed my dream up!

MAC Pink Plaid

For quite a long time, I wanted to try MAC Cosmetics, after reading brilliant reviews on a range of products, and heard many people gushing about them. One thing I particularly wanted to try was the lipsticks, although having no idea on what shade would suit me, I was a bit stuck and overwhelmed by the range of colours.

That was until I tried some of my friend's MAC lipsticks, and discovered "Pink Plaid", a gorgeous pink that is from the Matte range. I felt that this shade was perfect for everyday, not too 'in your face' and quite neutral.

Rimmel London Haul

Ok, so before I begin, don't be fooled by the word "haul" as this post only consists of 3 items, haha. However, as this is my blog I am going to call this post a haul.

Today I popped into my local town high street with a mission to purchase a foundation and have a long and deep stare at the various make-up counters. I have been using No7's Instant Radiance foundation for the last couple of months, and with only a fraction left, I wanted to take an adventure and try a new brand.

I have read great reviews about a variety of Rimmel London's foundations, with my eye on the Stay Matte foundation, however I couldn't find the right shade for me.

Dogtooth Treggings

When the houndstooth/dogtooth print trend hit the shops, I was determined to get my hands on an item, although wasn't sure what to get.

Topshop did some gorgeous houndstooth leggings, which sold out in a flash, and you know the saying "you always want what you can't have"? well this fit the situation. However, despite looking longingly at them, I did question how much wear I would get out of them, as I literally live in my Topshop Joni jeans. (Isn't it annoying when you think sensibly like that?!)

With more and more shops creating different pieces of clothing in the print, there still wasn't anything that caught my eye and made me think "I'd wear that a LOT". Plus, there were so many varities; large print, small print, I didn't know what to choose from!

So, while still admiring the print greatly, I had pretty much given up hope of owning something with it on.
