My Top Picks From NYFW

As you are probably all aware it has just been New York Fashion Week fpr SS'16 so in hommage to it I thought I'd do a post with my fave bits and trends for next season.

I absolutely loved the vintage cuts mashed with cultural prints of Anna Sui's show!! The blend of modern culture and vintage-esque designs is perfect for SS, the loose fit and light material jumpsuit is just perfect!!

Now onto a completely different show, the monochrome at Proenza stole my heart too!! Basically Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernadez killed it... No words needed thes epictures explain everything:

I also adored the femine romantic vibes at Marchesa! All the dresses were simply beautiful it was hard to choose my top four looks! I have a feeling the bright fusia pink will be big next Spring, just the colour we need to brush the cobwebs of winter away!!

The Yeezy show can't go unnoticed either, the show was simply amazing!So simple yet jaw dropping, the mixes of nude tones worked really well together in my opinion.

Also on a side note how cute was North West at the show!!

There were so many other beautiful shows but I'm running out of time on this blog now, just a quick few I also loved Tommy Hilfiger, Victoria Beckham and DKNY!! 

Until next time

My Little Trip To NYC

As you know I went to New York last week to drop my younger brother off at university! So here's a blog post just sharing a few bits we got up to over the pond.

My week started off pretty uneventful, we were staying out on Long Island as that's the campus my brother is studying at. So we were rushing round buying all the bits and bobs needed for your average uni house (he isn't staying in dorms, he decided to move in with a group of lads from the football team off his scholarship) so we were buying all sorts from mattresses and desk lamps to shampoo and bread!

Saying goodbye was hard, I think it hit my mum the hardest as she'll now be basically be living alone in our family home as my other brother's off travelling the world and my dad is away with work a fair amount, I'm her only baby still in England and I'm still 120 miles away!!

After our emotional goodbyes we were left a bit up in the air with nothing super important to do! So we drove down to the Hampton's and wondered round there for a few hours until it was an acceptable time for dinner. While we were there NY was experiencing its first heatwave since 2012 and boy did we know it!! It was absolutely boiling, not that I'm complaining given the rubbish summer we've had here in the UK! The beautiful weather made for some amazing views around the crab fishing creek we stopped at pretty special! 

Finally me and my mum were let loose in the big apple! As we'd both been there before we focused on the new attractions, the bits we hadn't done before! So we started our day of doing the High Walk, it's a garden walk along the old railway line going from West 34th Street down to Downtown Manhattan. The track was all self-seeded and beautiful, there was also a nice breeze above the buildings which was nice! 

We then went on a free cruise up the Hudson River giving us fabulous views of the Midtown skyline!

We then wandered up to Time Square, because you can't go to New York and not go see it!! Safe to say my mum still doesn't like it haha 

Finally, we met my dad at Byrant Park as he had gone to work for the day in the Met Tower (working on our holiday.... he wasn't impressed) wondered around a little more before heading for dinner. 

Stopped of at Grand Central Station: 

Overall I had a lovely week sending my brother to Uni, I mean who wouldn't? It's New York!!  

Upon arriving home I was greeted with rain. So I went from the blistering heats of Manhattan to a wet drizzly Kent! I guess on the plus side of the rain I got to wear my funky raincoat.... However I'd 

have preferred to keep the shorts on!

Anyway here was my outfit on a jet-lagged slouchy day in Town (excuse the fact it is a mirror selfie haha!)

Oh and yes I did get the make-up off my wishlist in a previous post- and some, I'll be posting soon once I've trialled it

Flight Essentials

Just a quick one before my flight tomorrow morning. As my flight out of Heathrow is at 8 I need to get up ridiculously early so I'll need something to refresh myself during the long day of traveling! 

These travel size creams, gels and balms by The Organic Pharmacy are perfect for inflight hydration for your skin. As the air con is so harsh on planes and really dry out your skin it's super important to keep fresh! 

Also my fave new lippy is eos, the green one I've got is mint flavour and it makes my lips tingle and really wakes me up, perfect for my early rise tomorrow!! 

And finally can't go wrong with an on-the-go sized perfume and this Bulgari one smells divine!

That's all for now,

Ps this is the first time I've blogged from my phone so hopefully the layout isn't too jumbled! 

My Wishlist

So tomorrow I'm lucky enough to be jetting of to New York again, this time to drop my younger brother off at his first year at university (he is studying at NYIT as he managed to land himself a football scholarship), and as my dad put it we all dropped me and my older brother off at uni so strictly speaking  it is only fair we do the same for him! Not that I'm complaining as it means I get a cheeky trip to New York!

While we're there we'll be doing the usual last minute university panic buys of kitchenware and duvets and what not, but since I graduated in July just gone my dad has promised me a little extra congrats for graduating present so naturally I've been weighing up my options of what I want since I found out! 

It has taken me a while to whittle down my choices, I started off big with maybe a Luis Vuitton or Chanel bag or a Chloé clutch but as much as they are to die for I thought I better tone it down a bit, and actually shoot realistically! Also my make-up draw needs a massive revamp hence how I came to the decision to look into getting some new Urban Decay and Mac bits. 

Firstly, I've wanted a Naked palette for quite some time now, and the new Naked Smoky palette looks insane, and it's sold out throughout the most of the UK and online!

Next on my list is a trusty old Mac lipstick, I mean you can't go wrong with them! I've got a few colours including a a bright purple called Heroine, a pale pink called Angel, a light red one called Yellow Raspberry and a dark red called Media which are all great! The next colour I'm looking to add to my collection is an orangey type colour as I'm venturing more towards darker smokey eyes now so need a lighter coloured lip. I've heard good reviews about Sushi Kiss and Sweet 'n' Sour so when I'm out there I'll have a look and decide there!

Although I said I wouldn't ask for a LV or Chanel bag or Chloé clutch I did have a wee look to see which one I'd like.... Kind of hoped I'd hate them all and I'd be content with my make-up choices but truth be told I just want it all!!! Anyway a girl can dream right?? If I had an unlimited amount of my dads money to spend here's what I'd get:

I'll let you know how I get on when I'm back, wish me luck!
