All about the boyfriend coat

It was love at first sight I'm totally obsessed with this coat and it's all mine if you haven't noticed yet I've got a thing for greens of all shades but in particular this shade is my fave and if you know me personally you will know how much Im crazy about green. I have a feature wall in my living room painted this exact same green.

This boyfriend coat wasn't just a fluke buy I came across it whilst browsing the Internet and straight away wanted it than realised it was topshops 2013 AW collection, so went on a mission to find it, 

Luckily Ebay had a few on sale and managed to grab myself a bargain origanilly £98 I only paid £33 being the bargain hunter that I am I didn't hesitate and now it's all mine!! I for sure know it's going to be getting plenty of wear. 

Everything I'm wearing except for my coat I've had for a while now, a coat with a pop of colour can instantly update your wardrobe not everything has to be new.

New Benefit Puff Off Review

So with the launch of Benefits new Puff Off eye gel launching this weekend I thought I'd give my honest opinion on this product.

Puff Off!!

What's it all about?

It's an instant eye gel that helps smooth away puffy eyes.

Let's start with the packaging it's cute and it's different the pink eye gel comes in a squeezey tube with an iron shaped tip to smooth out puffy eyes and blend in the product to your skin. 

When using this only give it a really gentle squeeze or you will end up with too much product and wastage.

I'm not one to expect too much from a product but was curious to see what this eye gel had to offer as well as smoothing out puffy eyes it claims to brighten eyes. 

I tried Puff Off several times before I wrote this review to be sure of my verdict!

First time I tried this was before bed when I was really tired after dotting a few blobs around my eye than smoothing over with the iron tip, I noticed my under eyes had a slight burning sensation I instantly wiped it off and tried again in the morning it didn't burn again so I put that down to being tired my eyes were quite sensitive however I didn't notice any difference my eyes felt cooler but that was about it so tried a few more times over the days and still no difference with this product you are suppose to notice an instance difference in appearance.

I feel you can get that same cooling effect by using a cooling eye gel and rubbing in with a cold spoon. Also a much cheaper alternative however this product has had some great reviews it may not work for me but you never know it might be the perfect tool for your makeup bag.

Launches Saturday 31st January retailing at £22.50 

Dress down Thursday's

Not every days about getting all dressed up but I wouldn't be complaining if I had too, getting dressed and doing my makeup is my favourite part of getting ready everyday, dress to impress and your more likely to have a better chance of a productive day ( well that's my motto) if I go out looking like rubbish I tend to feel like rubbish!!! 

My outfit is pretty basic but very comfy I would probably throw on a pair of converses with this but I put on a pair of heels to show how easy it is to make a simple pair of sweatpants and tshirt look a bit more dressy.

I purchased these khaki sweat pants from the H&M sales for only £7 my shoes I've had for quite some years they are so comfy but yet add a touch of class. All other items I'm wearing have been featured in previous posts. 

How do you dress up a casual outfit??

Feeling green

So much for my New Years resolution to be more consistent with my blog but it's still something I intend to do!! 

So enough babbling lets talk about this green coat it was love at first sight I've been trying to add more colours to my wardrobe and thought this coat was perfect it also comes in black which I hope to get before they all sell out at only £22.99 a bargain it's pretty good quality for a Primark coat. 

The pictures don't do much justice for the actual colour of this coat as I didn't get to take in natural daylight and I've probably added more confusion with the filters!! Ooopsie 

Fear not I already have my next outfit post planned I have a feeling I will be wearing a lot of bright colours especially when spring finally arrives.

About the bag and shoes,not bored of it yet, I purchased this silver bag back in summer from New Look they have just braught out a similuar version for around £20 I love all things shiny and the shoes where a must for only £12 in the River Island sales. 

Vintage love

I'm still trying to get my thrift on but just haven't got round to it, but was delighted to find this vintage kimono blouse my mum gave me a while back hiding in my wardrobe the details our so pretty!! 

Because of the vibrant print I decided to keep the rest of my outfit simple. 

About the skirt I've practically lived in this skirt since I purchased in the summer it goes with so much things and can be dressed up and down and it has pockets I love anything that has pockets. 

Vintage blouse - thrifted 

Full skirt £12.99 H&M 

Still got love for the skorts

Bring on my first outfit post for 2015 despite purchasing this outfit in the Black Friday sales for only £10 (tshirt and skorts) I'm only just blogging it. My New Years resolution for my blog is to be me more consistent with my posts as I do love blogging!!!! 

Always have and always will be obsessed with khaki and leopard print I think khaki is such a flattering colour and well Leopard print just adds a bit of edgy fun to any outfit!! 

These supermodel t-shirts from missguided seem to be quite a hit I already had one in black and white but couldn't resist the grey as it went down to £5 in the Black Friday so did the skorts I love skorts I hope they stay fashionable forever I'm not a fan of plain skirts hence why I love the skorts.
