What I Wore: Clothing At Tesco F&F A/W13 Collection

I never realised that it was going to be a more glam affair, I should have guessed it considering this year their catwalk show was held at Somerset House (the hub of London Fashion Week). So I went for a more casual drinks kind of outfit, still at least I didn't go in t-shirt and converse. Thanks to the lovely Clare (aka Rainbows and Fairy dust), my blogging buddy I have these wonderful outfit snaps. Me, Clare and Gemma had a wonderful time and I can't wait to share the collection with you. It's so amazing in ways you would never believe. Trust me it's going to make you shout 'that's Tesco!'.

Pink top: Charity shop
Stripe tank: H&M
Black baggy trousers: H&M
Bag: Gift
Boots: eBay (old)

So yeah I was in a pink mood, and although these trousers are not the most flattering them are so comfortable so were perfect for this kind of event. They were so many people there, lots of celebrities all dressed to the nines. So next time I think I may over dress a little instead, it gives me an excuse to wear all my over the top (not for day time) clothing.

Wist List: Miss L-Fire (Major Shoe Lust)

Okay so the sun may not be out and there's no sign of him putting his hat on, but I know a lot of you are traveling to warmer places (you lucky things). So I can just blame you lot who are going on holiday, for drooling after shoes for hours ...of course I'm looking for you. Okay, okay, busted! I'd wear tights with these I don't even care, I've became a little Miss L-Fire addict over night after spying this lot. I love bright, shoes that are playful (also these are on sale with heaps of other sandals). My two picks are these Montgomery wedges, as I love the mini strawberry detail and the crazy Nautilus sandals there a little out there but I adore the rope detail.

How I wear: Biker Boots & A Chunky Jumper

I love this jumper and I always end up wearing it with boots, if your not a jeans person than swap them for a black maxi skirt (you can always wear tights underneath). Biker boots will be massive again come A/W 2013, I've literally seen them at every press event so I've started early as it may as well be autumn. I wear this coat to death, but the pattern and shape seem to go with everything. I won a little biker jacket off eBay the other day, so I'm praying for some sun so I can once agin pack all my cosy things away. 



Jumper: Charity shop
Faux fur stole: H&M
Jeans: New Look
Bag: My nan's

I've been wearing a lot of blue into purple eye shadow lately, it's became almost my everyday makeup. Today was a lazy day of just doing mum things like picking up after them, I still get believe that my little Corben is coming up for four! His such a character and is far beyond his years, he has even started telling me what I should wear now. 'Mummy are you going to take your bog photos?' Oh how I love him. Looking forward to a relaxed weekend, I think were going to take the boys for a walk by the river. The weather is just so depressing, instead of rocking playsuits and pretty dresses and shorts I've had to dig back out my jumpers.

How are you spending your weekend?

Those Black Ankle Strap Shoes

So I think Zara did them first than every where seemed to have them, and than every blogger seemed to be wearing them. Usually I avoid the must have blogger items, as it can be boring seeing everyone in the same thing. But I could not resist the black ankle strap sandals, also these beauties are from She Likes and will set you back a mere £25 quid! They are a nice fit and the heel is not crippling, so I'm really impressed. I want to wear them more and my other summer heels/sandals but the weather is just grim and so all my tights have come back out.

Coat: River Island*
Lace top & chunky belt: Charity shop
Skirt: New Look

So yes once again I've changed my hair, I get so bored and it's so damaged anyway I think I may as well change it up before I grow it out and go back to my old hair. I seem to keep matching my outfits to my hair, because you know I'm cool like that ...Oh yeah Law your such a hipster, as I stumble over my own feet. I swear I've worn this River Island coat to death but it goes with everything. I love this sequin skirt it was on sale in New Look and cost me £8, what's great is everywhere seems to be sticking all their summer gear on sale already now we just need some sun!

Current Favourite Beauty Buys - May

All products purchased with my own money

I have such vile skin, no I'm not fishing for compliments my skin is and always has been a spotty mess. It's dry and so it's even harder to tackle the spot, while trying to keep my skin from looking like sponge Bob. Because of my battle with it, and the fact I'm now 30 I pretty much will try everything until I find products that I feel make a really difference. 

So currently these three products have been helping it, and making it a lot more manageable. No they are not miracle products, but I have been using them for over two months so I can tell you they have made a difference. I think if you are buying a skincare product than it's worth sharing, and letting others know what they are like. I'm almost at the end of using them, so have a rounded view of what they are like, rather than using it once and being like 'it's great'.



Garnier -Moisture Match (dry to very dry skin)
Garnier Moisture Match Goodbye Dry Ultra-Hydrating Rich Cream 50ml/£5.99 

Usually I give up using face creams after a couple of days using it, I get bored of the smell, it doesn't make my skin feel good or I just forget. How ever this was not the case with the new (at least I think it's new) Moisture Match by Garnier, it's rich without being greasy and doesn't sit on the skin like a lot I have tried. It doesn't have a real scent, it smells like cream but it's not over powering and to me that's great as most that do bring me out in spots. 

It comes in a box and on that it has it's benefits and whats in it, for those of you who have highly sensitive skin. It's stated that it's enriched with Omega 3 & 6, and Camellia oil which are very rich and great for soothing and really feeding the skin. I also found once the cream had soaked in I could also apply my makeup over it, and my skin looked a lot less dull and tried. So it also took off a year or two, as I looked rested I've actually run out of this (a few days ago) and already my skin has gone back to looking patchy so I'm going to repurchase as soon as possible. There is a whole range for different skin types, and for under a tenner it's a bargain beauty buy. I like the packaging, the product is easy to apply with out a screw top lid.



Witch Skincare - Blemish Gel
Witch Skincare Blemish Gel dissolves excess oils and clears spots 35 ML/£3.29

It may smell a little strong, but this has to be my go to when I see or even feel the appearance of a spot. I do like to use face scrubs and washes, but it's nice to leave something on those really sore massive spots that feel like they are taking over your face. This gel is great, as unlike the toothpaste method of drying out the spot Witch Skincare Blemish Gel won't leave your pillow and hair in a mess (if you apply it at night) and it doesn't suck the life from your skin. Instead as it's oil free, it will 
dissolve excess oil. 

The bottle is easy to use with the flap top lid, so no getting in a mess and you don't need a heap of product for it to work. When I get one even during the day, if I can't find my Witch skincare blemish stick, I'll just dab on the gel. This lasted me ages, as I said you don't need a lot of it. Do a patchy test if you have sensitive skin, just as it's a bit stronger as it's more in a neat form rather than used with water. (you can try the face wipes/face wash instead)


Rimmel- Fix & Perfect Pro Primer
Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer smoothes to minimize pores 30ml/£6.99


Lastly a product I keep going back to, when I do wear primer I have been loving Rimmel fix and perfect. I did love the Witch skincare one, but it's so tricky to get hold of so I had to found a new one. I first purchased this when it was on offer, but than loved it so much it's the only one I will buy now. It's a little fake feeling in texture, as it's almost silicone like (will double check ingredients and update to see). So why do I love it? 

It just instantly made my skin feel plump and smooth, the perfect base for my foundation and eye makeup. I found I didn't have to reapply my makeup as much and my spots reduced as  my pores where being blocked with the primer. I'm not sure about the protect and brighten part, as this doesn't have SPF in. So I'm not sure I'll be using it when it gets really sunny, as I have very fair skin. For now it's been amazing and I would recommend it, plus it's not going to cost you heaps either. I'm not crazy about the screw top lid, a flip lid would be better but it's a perfect size to throw in your handbag.

So I hope you enjoyed this, I plan on doing more beauty post as I've found some great products that I worth sharing. It's also a great way for me to see what work for my skin, and also maybe share what isn't worth the hype. Let me know what you would like to see beauty wise?
