Wicked.

Topshop have brought out a "Dark Side of Nude" collection this A/W. I bought a lipstick in the colour 'Wicked'. It was £9 which is £1 more expensive than their core collection lipsticks but the packaging is completely different! It's all matte black with black geometric shapes in gloss which is really what caught my eye. The packaging really is SO much better than their standard white/black which although cute I think can slightly cheapen the items. 

When I first opened this lipstick I never thought I would like it as it's extremely dark, almost  a plummy brown in certain light. When I swatched it on my hand it was a totally different story! It is a stunning dark raspberry toned red which I have been looking for but am always scared to try because I'm super pale most of the time. My second thought was how vampy it looks, perfect for my halloween idea! On trying the lipstick on my lips I'm in love with it, It goes on so smoothy and opaque with the lovely scent I always associate Topshop lipsticks with. It fades into a lovely 'just-bitten' berry look which is also nice. I used this lipstick with lipcote which I find takes away some of the gloss as I prefer matte lipsticks & it makes it last all day! So glad I bought this item :)

Hope you enjoyed,

Today! This tunic from Topshop is one of my favourite oversized type tee's. I love the asymmetric cut-out sleeve & the fact it's big enough for me to hide in. I have it in grey too & they're both now in the sale! Its easy to dress it up with a big statement necklace like this one & worn with the infamous Disco Pant it makes the outfit look a bit less like a plain t-shit/leggings combo. The jacket by Vila is another one of my faves recently. I like that the camouflage print is faded instead of the bold prints I've seen about, I think it makes it more wearable. It has ties round the middle so you can make it more fitted & cute collar tips too! I wore my plain black Vans today, they're so comfy & I've yet to invest in a good winter boot as I'm having a hard time choosing, but as it gets colder, so do my ankles! 

Hope you enjoyed :) 

Vampy.

So last minute Halloween preparations are in place, I thought I would be working at 9am the day after but I actually don't need to be in until 11! This calls for a celebration (of the undead)! I've decided I want to do something vampy! I have the Crafted mullet skirt from a few months back, I think it's perfect for that vampy cape look! Paired with my spiked JC's & a Miso mesh body I think it could look awesome! The mesh body is on sale in Republic, may pick one up tomorrow but if not I'm going to wear a cropped burgundy tank from Topshop with a spiked necklace. I bought 'Wicked' from the Dark Side Of Nude collection today, I have yet to try it but I imagen it will be perfect! I just need to pick up some cheap fangs/contacts & I will be set! 

Anyone else dressing up? :)

Goth life.

So this is my current 'wish-list' a highly condensed one at that. Unfortunately my adult head is now on & I am trying to savesavesave. Still doesn't stop me browsing/pining/sulking.

From top left to right;

1 - Missguided Black Denim Jacket with Leather Sleeves.  £34.99
I adore this jacket, it's a nice change to the military style kahki jacket with leather sleeves. I'm considering maybe indulging in this one as one can never have too many jackets in this british weather?

2 - Crafted PU Mini Skirt  £30
I already have a pleated black skirt from Topshop but it's slightly dip hemmed & shiny material as apposed to PU. I just think this would be amazing to dress up/down & as I work in Republic I'm thinking of maybe getting this as part of my uniform allowance this season. It satisfies (for lack of a better word) my taste for gothic styles this autumn..

3 - Urban Outfitters Waist Belt £18
I have been looking for a belt like this for SO long, it's not even a bad price & I can imagen it would go with everything, making plain dresses & skirts I have more exciting. I originally searched for something similar to the Moschino belt without the hefty price tag. They also have an 'amour' belt I quite like.

4 - Topshop Stunner heels  £85
Literally fell in love with these in the shop. They are the perfect balance between heel and wedge. Unfortunately at that price they will have to remain on the wish list. If I was a few inches shorter (at 5'6 I stand at almost 6' in these bad boys) I would definitely invest as an every day winter boot, but unfortunately I would feel too large for every day aha.

5 - Missguided Mystic Symbols tee £11.99
A fun little tee, I'm in love with anything to do with the 'all seeing eye' at the moment and this is just a great little graphic print. Something I've been looking for that doesn't involve owls.

6 - Missguided Naughts & Crosses tights £5.99
Currently enjoying sheer tights as aposed to opaque, I feel they break up an outfit more as apposed to block colours on your legs, especially when wearing a black top or dress. I think these are just an awesome alternative to all over patterned tights or 'suspender' tights. I am just worried about paying £5.99 for a pair then laddering them first time as I seem to be getting through a million pairs of primarnis finest.

Hope you enjoyed,
