Sunday Style Board | #43

Top | Jeans | Snood | Bag | Watch | Boots

Another super casual look this week. Also, before anyone thinks i'm nuts or living in Oz, I'm fully aware that there isn't a jumper or a coat in this look.. Let's just hope for a nice sunny autumn day..?! Also, there's accidentally a lot of H&M in this post, hashtag not obsessed.

I've been wearing a lot of fairly plain and slouchy tee's at the moment. Sure, they're super duper casual but they're easy to wear and you can easily make them look a bit more.. fancy. I'm not usually a fan of anything with a high neck but this top from H&M is a wide fit and it doesn't look like it'd be choking me for 8 hours. Grab it online for £14.99.

My mum's been sporting white jeans on the regular for the last couple of months now and i'm really loving it, even for a/w! This pair from H&M in particular are ankle grazers which I've spoken about recently, still not 100% sure if I just like them or absolutely love them, with rips at the knee, of course. I think they'd look really smart with these (also) H&M boots, which I know, I already blogged about this week but aren't they lush?! Both products are available in store and online for £25 each.

I hated snood's when they first came out a couple of years ago, I can't really tell you why, I just really didn't like them! Alas, they grew on me and now I'm picking them up every time I go into Primark! This deep red snood is from New Look and is available online for £6.99. It's the perfect accessory to add an easy pop of colour to your outfit!

Another style board, another canvas tote, but how perfect is the lettering?! I'm a proper coffee addict and I really don't know how i'd get about my day without having that glorious morning cuppa! Available online now from Shopbop for £21. You should deffo check out their site for all their other canvas bags too, you won't regret it! Not the cheapest, but definitely the most awesome.

I'm in desperate need of a new watch. Nower days there is so much choice out there, it becomes really hard to choose just one! I love the simplicity of this one, black and gold are always a great combo and it'll go with absolutely anything! Available online now for around £9.50.

So what do you think of this look? Would you rock it? Let me know! I hope everyone's had a wonderful weekend and are ready for the new week ahead! ♡

Prestige Flowers | Luxury Christmas Flowers Bouquet*

A couple of weeks ago, the lovely Gabriela over at Prestige Flowers got in touch to see if I'd be interested in reviewing one of their Christmas flowers bouquets* from their platinum range, so being the flower child I always have been, of course I said yes!

There's no escaping it, Christmas is only 9 weeks and 6 days away! The shops have started bringing out their advent calender's, festive treats and greetings cards and I've even been to a restaurant that had their Christmas tree up! I'm a true believer in the power of flowers! I've lost count of how many times I've treated myself to a bunch, sorry not sorry! I think flowers are just perfect for every occasion, or non occasion if "well done, you made it out of bed this week" doesn't count as reason to celebrate?(totally does!) and really, they make a super lovely but yet easy gift for that one person that you really don't know what to get, because come on, everyone loves flowers, right?

Prestige Flowers are one of the UK's leading online florists and are currently voted numbero uno on the Review Centre and editor's choice for best online florist over on Review Florist. Prestige Flowers cater for a wide range of occasions with their fresh flowers, plants and hampers that are all arranged in house by their highly trained florists. So it's safe to say that I had high expectations, but let me tell you, they sure lived up to them!
My gorgeous, perfectly festive bouquet arrived at the beginning of this week, safely wrapped up in a box, delivered right to my doorstep I had actually just popped out so they were left with our lovely neighbours but shh. Along with them came a care guide and an adorable little box of chocolates! Unfortunately, i'm vegan so I wasn't able to have them myself, but none the less, they were greatly appreciated.
I had a quick read through the flower care guide, snipped the ends and got my bouquet into a vase and ran them up to my bedroom and proudly displayed them on my windowsill. The roses are ruby red and have bloomed so beautifully! I adore the contrast in colours against the green in the bouquet. Despite my bouquet being in my bedroom, I think they'd be super fitting for a dining room table over the festive season! 
Did you know that there are over 20,000 varieties of rose?! How insane is that! It's now Saturday and they're still going strong! Not only does my bouquet still look lovely (I mean there are a couple of "cuts and bruises" shall we say but nothing overly noticeable) but they also smell divine! Overall, i'm super happy with this bouquet and I know that i'll certainly be making a couple of Christmas flower purchases in the coming months! 

Speaking of making purchases, Prestige Flowers have kindly given all of you a 15% discount code that you can use not only on their Christmas flowers but on all bouquets, site wide! Just enter the code "MAISIE15" at the final stage of checkout! Their luxury Christmas bouquets are available from just £19.99!

Have you ordered from Prestige Flowers before? Were you as satisfied as I was? Let me know if you make a purchase!

Collection Lasting Colour Lipstick | Aubergine Kiss

A little while ago, my mum and I were having a mooch around boots and stocking up on some essentials when, as always, I found myself becoming a human canvas testing out all the Collection lipsticks. I've been a fan of Collection Cosmetics for years now and their lipsticks never disappoint! See here, here and here.
I know I bang on about autumn all the time, but if there's one thing that beats all my other reasons for loving this season so much, it's the make up. I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but a couple of years ago I was never really a fan of lipsticks, I just felt as though I couldn't pull it off because of my teeny-tiny top lip, but with the help of YouTube and a couple of fab beauty tools, I think I can almost get away with it now. 
I love a deep, berry shade, so you can imagine my excitement when I found Collection's Lasting Colour Lipstick in shade number 13, Aubergine Kiss. Isn't it dreamy?! It does appear a lot darker in the bullet to how it actually transfers onto the lips. It's fairly similar to their Gothic Glam range of shades, which are all equally as gorgeous

All of the Collection lipsticks that I've managed to get my paws on are really long lasting, hence the name I suppose, and don't dry my lips out, which always makes them a winner! It doesn't have a matte finish to it but it's not super glossy either.. it's somewhere in the middle, is there a word for that? Yes? No? Let's not forget that the Collection lipstick's are only £2.99 at boots, absolute bargain! 
Have you tried this shade yet? Or any of the other Collection Lasing Colour lipsticks? What did you think, do you rate them as highly as I do? Let me know!

I Won a Giveaway! | Thank You Jemma!

So last month, the lovely Jemma over at dorkface hosted a super cute giveaway.. and I only went and won the damn thing, yippie! I honestly never win anything, minus £1 on a scratchcard here and there, so I was super excited when I saw the tweet saying that I'd won!

Jemma was feeling lovely and positive so she decided to host this giveaway with super cute gifts! I received the experimenter bath bomb from Lush, a pack of adorable heart stickers, an equally adorable pegasus pen, a mini notepad, 3 lucky cat erasers, Makeup Revolution lipstick in Rebel With Cause which is a down right beautiful shade, Makeup Revolution blush in Treat, Makeup Revolution Iconic 2 palette, 3 Superdrug face masks,  a pink, A5, Ohh Deer (If you haven't already, check out the Ohh Deer website, stationary lust overload) notebook and a custom blogger bracelet made by the lovely lady herself! A pretty hefty supply of prizes don't you think?!
I've already started using my pegasus pen, in fact I've popped it in my handbag so I can use it wherever I go! I'm also super stoked about the bracelet because it's adorable and y'all know I love anything handmade. I'm really excited to try out all the Makeup Revolution products as I've not tried anything from their brand before, I'll be sure to keep you posted on my thoughts!
I've been reading Jemma's blog for a super long time now and it's really inspiring to watch her corner of the internet grow! I would highly recommend Dorkface to anyone that loves everything cute and creative! Actually, I think you should all go and have a peep at Jemma's blog, you won't be disappointed! This very talented little lady also has an Etsy store which is filled with some of the most adorable item's I think I've ever seen, holy wow! Definitely check it out for super cute accessories and custom handmade cards and jewelry!

Once again, thank you Jemma for hosting such an adorable giveaway! I'm currently in the process of planning some super awesome giveaway's myself, so watch this space! Have you entered/won any giveaway competitions recently? Let me know!

October Wishlist | Basics

Shirt Dress | Coat | Canvas Bag | Ankle Boots | Sweatshirt

I can't believe it's already almost halfway through the month, it's flying by! Although, I don't really mind all that much as it just means that we're closer to Halloween, woo! Let's get straight into this shall we.

First up is this shirt dress, that i'm pretty sure my friend Kim has, from H&M. I love khaki green for autumn, hence my ever growing love for parka's, and I think this piece is something really easy to wear but looks a little fancy, do you know what I mean? Throw it on over some black leggings and pumps or boots and you're good to go! Grab it online now for just £19.99. Also available in black and dark blue. 

I've spoken a lot about my feelings towards yellow and mustard this year and this coat has just added to my love for the latter. Isn't it the most gorgeous shade you've ever seen!? I'm still not sure just how well, or not, this colour would suit me but if I find myself with a bit of extra cash at the end of the month, I think I might just have to make a cheeky Romwe order. I think i'd definitely size up for an extra boxy/boyfriend kinda fit. Currently in the sale at just £26.45, grab it right here!  

You can never have too many bags, at least that's what I keep telling myself. Especially little canvas tote bags, plus they're extra handy now with that pesky 5p per bag law! Who doesn't love an adventure? This super cute bag by Olivia and Frank is available online now for just £10.

I'm still on the hunt for my perfect pair of boots for this season and I keep thinking I've almost found them.. until I somehow manage to find an even better pair! These H&M ankle boots have an 8.5cm heel on them and they're dark brown as apposed to being black. I think brown boots can make an outfit look a little more classy, don't you? Grab these online now for £24.99.

Last but not least is this very time of year appropriate sweatshirt. Isn't Halloween Town one of the greatest films of all time? It's been a good couple of years since I've seen it but I might dust the cobwebs off the case and give it a watch sometime this week, who's coming? I'm all for being cosy and when you can be awesome and cosy at the same time, you're a winner! This sweatshirt is available from a little store on Etsy called The One Stop Shirt Short Stop for just £19.20!

So there are the things on my basics October wishlist! What are you loving this month? Let me know!
