Faux fur collars is a classic winter piece its timeless and chic and its a prefect way to add some edge and glamour to your everyday winter outfit. This can be paired with different outfits and can also be styled in various ways.  It can be worn with a beige, black, red oversized coat with a pair of denim, legging or leather pants and over the kneel boots. I decided to pair mine with a comfy black legging, turtle neck, over the kneel flat boots which i got from Primark which is also called Penny's here in Ireland. It goes with everything from casual outfits to cocktail dresses. Swap the scarf for a faux fur collar it would keep you warmer than you thought and i love that it is easy to carry and adding it sparingly to your outfit its way better because it might add a bulky look over a fur coat i would suggest to keep it simple and chic, look stylish and refined not trashy and bulky. Keep in mind that everything depends on styling and when choosing a faux fur collar pay attenti

Red carpet ready hair, makeup and outfit i kept it classy and chic seriously i was feeling myself that night with the paparazzi taking pictures of me like crazy. The question i got from some many people that night was on how i feel so confident been a plus size diva and my answer is simply embrace your inner beauty. My clothes, hair, size or even makeup doesn't define whom i am the real beauty lies within me. I have learnt to love myself because beauty comes in all sizes and shapes, another question i got was on how i maintained my curves, i try my best to do what i know how to do best, no strict diet or what soever i eat clean and do a lot of walking i dont go to the gym, my gym is school runs going from one place to another, running to get the next bus and keep it moving. This dress i got from Asos on sales and the colour is so flattering on my skin tone i love a full length dress any day any time.  The dress does fit snug on my body without revealing so much i also had my g

Glitter! glitter !! glitter!!! its that time of the year where we have parties going on everywhere and we dont want to miss out on the fun right? If you know me you know i have a love hate relationship with glitters because it gets every where and can be messy but not to worry i got you on this. If you dont like glitters all over your face like me all you have to do is place a translucent powder under the eyes it will help caught the falls and just sweep away with a large fluffy brushes or you can get a glitter eye shade which helps prevent excess glitter falling on your skin.When working with glitters i love to work with my eyes first and then move over to the skin. Glitters can be fun as well as give your eyes that sexy look make sure to have in hand your glitter glue, lock and seal or Mac fix + before you begin your application. For this look i went for a smokey glitter eyes using my elf lock & steal which i got for 3£ it works amazingly with glitters and i recommend it if

Hi loves i know its been ages i did a makeup blog post i promise to step up my game this year i would be sharing with you all my signature fall cranberry makeup look. This look is very simple to recreate and over the years i have learnt so much as a makeup artist that less is more and the key to that flawless finish is all about blending and using a light hand with products.You can make the cheapest drug store makeup product work for you if you know the technique even some celebrity makeup artist like Sam Fine whose favourite foundation is Black Opal stick foundation can attest to this, its about the techniques and not the product. My fedora hat does remain me of formation since it fall and the weather is so cool as well as it makes your skin dry i would advice to do a lot of moisturising you can use any moisturiser of your choice i personally prefer to use simple products because they are chemical free and all natural staying hydrated is also important. To prime my eyes i used
