Winter Outfits Competition!

Hello everyone, oooh, frequent blogging eh? I'm sorry this isn't a personal post but I've just read up about this competition hosted by Vipxo. Within this competition you need to design two outfits, one entitled 'Winter Warmer' and another called 'Party look'. I really enjoy doing things like this and letting my creativity flow. If you like the outfits I create let me know down below and all products featured will also be linked.

Winter Warmer I think the mix I chose would be perfect for either a pamper day, a stay at home day, movie day, pyjama day, rainy day or anything which involves cold weather and the indoors.
The onesie (£19.95) This onesie is so super cute, it's from Debenhams and is literally adorable. It transforms you into a bear. human --> bear!! What's not to love? The only downside I see to this is that it has no feet. A-HA! I know how to solve that!
The slippers (£14.00) No longer have cold feet.. These moccasin style slippers will keep your tootsies warm forever. It'll look like your wearing real shoes but your not SSOOO you could leave your house in your slippers. YOU COULD GO SHOPPING IN SLIPPERS! Okay, maybe not the onesie, but go for it with the slippers, I so would.
The perfume (£21.00) Was there any way Our Moment would not be there? Even though your having a home-pyjama-day, that does not mean you don't need to smell good, gurl! You need to sprits the boys all over your bear onesie in the morning and you'll be smelling great all day. I can guarantee this because I have the perfume - AFFIRMATIVE! Use this for every outfit you ever wear, please. Thank you.
Debenhams don't sell the specific Yankee Candle I wanted for this so I just shoved it in. This candle is in 'Red Apple Wreath', I have it and it is heavenly! Whenever I smell it I think of onesies and Winter - Perfect!
Also, the bed is just to signify laying in bed all day. If it was me, Pretty little liars would be on and I'd be eating everything close to me and drinking tea.

The Party Look this is the outfit I worked harder on, I love creating party looks so much!


The dress  (£22.99) So, I knew I wanted to incorporate tartan somehow into this outfit and I felt like this dress was so gorgeous. It is beautiful and adds a bit of pizzazz to the outfit. I worked this whole outfit around a red theme because New Years and other celebrations fit a red theme, especially in Winter and Christmas time.
The shoes (£35.99) I just wanted basic pumps and I was aiming for either black or red, I saw these heels and fell in love immediately. They match the dress and are a real statement. They contribute to making this outfit look unique and fun!
The bag (£27.30) I am in love with this bag. I seem to be in love with this whole outfit though.. It is very mature and glamorous. I'm a big fan of black bags and this one is no exception.
The earrings (£9.60) They're simple wine coloured studs, they may be basic but they are still very glamorous and pretty. They add a bit of sparkle to this otherwise sparkle-less outfit. I love them!
I wanted to accentuate the fact that I'd curl my hair with this outfit so I placed curly hair there, I also placed a red bow on top because it is gorgeous and I think it suits the outfit well.
I included this Nars nail polish which unfortunately, Debenhams don't sell, they do sell others but I wanted a deep wine colour for this look.
Again, Debenhams didn't sell the exact lipstick I wanted to pair with this outfit so I just placed it in anywhere. I'd describe this colour as a bright berry red, it is gorgeous!

OOTD - Boxing Day 🌻


Hello everyone, today's post is going to be my outfit of Boxing Day. On boxing day, I just ran a few errands, visited family and then in the evening we went to my Grandparents' with my cousins for a small get together.

I went pretty simple and didn't apply much makeup since I'm breaking out a lot at the moment. If you have any tips to cure spots, let me know!!

 
This is a big overview
 

 
I wore this super cute necklace my Dad got me from a sweet little boutique in Minehead. It says 'Daughter', also, my top here is from the Factory Shop and I love it! 


I paired this with my disco pants, I wanted to make the outfit more dressy and girly instead of just looking like something I'd lounge around the house in.

My lovely black velvet boots are from my second home, Primark. They are gorgeous, comfy and you can wear them with anything!!


 
My hair was natural, literally showered and dried. I don't usually go natural but it looked o k today.

 
My Dad found Harry Styles in my bed this morning, he was not pleased.
 
 
Hopefully you can see the difference in quality, I got a camera for Christmas and I really enjoy using it, look out for more OOTDs since I really enjoyed doing this one.. Let me know if you'd like that!
 
Thanks for reading!!

Winter Makeup Haul! ❅



So, I went to a nearby shopping town with Emily (I have blogged about days with her before) today for Christmas shopping. (I have vlogged and done a haul-coming soon!) I bought mainly clothes (the onesie above) but I did get a few makeup-y pieces and since this is a mostly beauty blog, I thought I'd show you the makeup I got.

Side note: Dad paid for it because he is wrapping it up for me for Christmas; no hate! Also, I haven't tried anything apart from the nail polish; I sneaked it on. Oopsy!


We went into I think Superdrug first and I literally RAN to find the MUA One Direction section, I mean RAN. I turned into an animal. When I got there three girls were stood in the way so I had to do the awkward 'Oh, I don't want to go where you are, I'm just browsing the foot scrubs' thing until they went away, which eventually, they did and I looked at the 1D stuff. After literal hours of looking I settled on the Harry lipstick. I can't recall the name right now, sorry! It's red. Oooooh - adventurous!

I also picked out the Louis nail polish because it is a beautiful purple colour which will be perfect for January time! I also can't remember the name sorry but I do remember the whole line has great names. A* for names boys!


I think that's pretty much all I got. Sorry this is going up on Christmas day but I'm so disorganized. If you'd like to see what else I got for christmas you can watch my youtube video.

MY FAVOURITE WINTER PJS!

 
Hello everyone so today's blog post is going to be about my favourite Winter PJs but this may not be 100% true anymore, becccaaauuuse, today I went on a mega shop and I got a onesie from Primark so it could take the thrown off this sexy outfit. 

 
As you can clearly see, it's not a set. I threw them together to be absolutely honest but it's such a cosy outfit. Also, can we just look at how SWAGGGILLICIIOUS I look here. Alanna, never say that again. Thanks. 

 
The bottoms were from Primark's Winter Pyjama range for Children from last year (Sorry you can't get them now) They came in a set but I don't wear the top because it's so basic and I am no basic bitch. I pair it with what I like to call the 'Liar' top.


 
I'm pretty sure my Dad got this as a freebie from somewhere but it's so comfy. It's Nike and says 'Log out, shut down, Go RUN!' but we all know this top is the closest I'm getting to doing that this Winter. 

 Hey there sexy. WTF.
 
Thank you for reading!!! Love youuuu!
 
What are your favourite Winter PJs?
 
Byyyyyye

Winter nails! ❅

Hello everyone! 

I have been really enjoying doing my nails at the moment. I keep taking the polish off then doing a different pattern. I did have a plain red nail with silver glitter all over but I got bored so I took that off and applied a dark purple (Ooooh - wintery) and glitter over that. They're really jazzy and fun! I love them! Here are some pictures!! 





Side note: I editted these pictures and I love the way they came out. I don't know if you do though so let me know please!! Comments are welcomed! 

What nails are you rocking this season? 

Byeeeeeee
