Autumn/Winter Fashion - Skirts

So recently, as the weather has gotten more Autumnal I have really been loving the whole skirts and tights trend - which to be honest, I was never really into - but this year I have really gotten a thing for skirts so I thought I would show you some of my favourites so far :)

I purchased all of these skirts form Exhibit and I absoloutely love them! The tartan skirt was my most recent purchase - i picked it because I love the tartan style, you can wear it either dressed up or dressed down, depending on the occasion, the material is lovely - it's quite stretchy so it's very comfortable even with the zip up back - I also loved the plu leather band across the waist, I thought it made the skirt look quite edgy. 

The embroidered skirt is by far my favourite. I love the colours I think they're beautiful and very wintery - I'll definately be wearing this around Christmas - but in saying that, I don't think this skirt is secluded to just Christmas - I think it can be pulled off any time of the year. The material is quite thick which I like, the shape is also really flattering as it makes you look more curvy and feminine.

The floral skirt was my first purchase and I love it. The colours are gorgeous - I'm not usually a pink person, but with the whites, greens and oranges I think it gives the skirt some added dimension and doesn;t make it look quite so "girly." I love how it has pockets as well and the added detail of the zip, the shape is also really flattering like the one before and it's just really feminine and lovely.

I do intend to purchase more skirts as they are now one of my favourite clothing items so I will be updating yous on those :) 

Coastal Scents Winterberry Palette

 

As it is coming towards the end of summer and entering into Autumn/Winter season, I thought I would just share with you one of my favourite eyeshadow palettes for the Autumn/Winter season, and it is the Coastal Scents Winterberry Palette. 

My mum got me this for Christmas and I love it. It has the perfect berry shades for the season and as all of the shadows are quite frosted/shimmery, it really adds to the effect. The pigmentation is also really good, as you would expect from Coastal Scents, and as I have green eyes, they berry tones really compliment them. I ll definately be using this most throughout the next season :)

#MyStyle

I seen this tag over at themakeupchair's channel which you can find here on YouTube and I absolutely loved the concept of it. Basically her and a few other gurus have started this tag were, at the start of every month they talk about a certain style which they like - themakeupchair's was her Fall Lip Shades - which is what I have decided to do :)

Autumn/Fall is one of the best times of the year because there are so many different ways in which you can experiment and play around with your make-up! Especially if you're a beginner, this would be the best time to play around and come up with new looks and ideas.

So lets get started!

Look 1 - The Red Lip

Red Lips are definitely going to be big this season and I personally am a huge lover of the classic red lip. It suits every skin tone and even makes your teeth look whiter which is always a bonus! Red Lips - especially those which blue undertones are perfect for autumn/winter and are a classic statement piece which can jazz up any outfit! My favourite lipstick for this look currently is Rimmel Kate Lipstick in the shade 01

Look 2 - The Berry/Plum Lip

The Berry/Plum lip is also extremely popular especially around this time! Though I do think it takes people to be confident in order to pull this look off - it's not for the fair hearted! I personally love wear purple shades in autumn mostly because I think it goes so well with the season and the oncoming winter. I think purples can work well on all skin tones - you just have to find the right shade! My favourite for this is Maybelline 14hr Superstay lipstick in Plum

Look 3 - Brown/Black

I know that by looking at the title of this look - it sounds very scary, but I assure you it's not :) What I mean by "brown" is basically a plum shade that appears more brown than plum and by "black" I mean a very deep purple that depending on the light, will look black. I think these looks would definitely look better toward the end of autumn and the beginning of winter mostly because it get's colder, and it get darker so darker lips will help to accentuate the season and will co-ordinate with it. My lipsticks for these are Elf's Mineral Lipstick in Plum and Rimmel Kate's Lipstick in 04.
