Simple but Chic

Happy New Year Guys!!!! I know I'm 3 months late BUT in my defence I was uhhm....uhmm....I guess I don't really have a good excuse for not blogging. But I have decided to start blogging again and I will be blogging a lot more than I have in the past (but don't hold me up to that :p) 

So this is a very impromptu post. I was having one of my good days yesterday where my hair was looking great, my makeup was on point, my outfit looked perfect and I had someone around to conveniently give me a little photoshoot, so I decided to use that opportunity take some pictures for my blog. Hence the messy background.

A little back story to this outfit....

I have been a massive fan of the Camel Wrap Up Coat since last winter when it popped up on Zara for about £150. Now my obsession is coats and bags but I just couldn't justify splashing that much cash on one item of clothing regardless of how amazing it was and how bad I wanted it. So sadly I had to watch it go but I have been looking for other alternatives since then and I didn't find anything affordable or amazing enough like the one from Zara until I came across this.

This is a lovely White Waterfall Coat from Pretty Little Things. It's a wrap up coat so it comes with no buttons just a long belt attachment - think of it like a robe. It's pretty thick so it does keep you warm and the best part, it makes any outfit look classy and sophisticated. I was wearing a boring slim fit high wasted tailored pant with a black polo neck long sleeve top, accessorised with my black pumps (from Zara) and my black bag (also from Zara) but this coat pulled the whole look together.

On another note, my makeup was looking really good last night so I thought I share a few pictures. I got this look by combining a few colours from my BHCosmetic 120 Palette and my 2 Faced Neutral Palette (that I've had for years...my first ever eyeshadow palette purchase and still madly in love with it till today ^_^).

I try not to wear makeup a lot lately just to give my skin a bit of a breather and also to try out a few new skin care routines. Because of this when I do wear makeup (usually on a Friday - if I have a night out planned) I tend to go all out. Been putting a lot of practice and experimenting with so many eye looks and I'm impressed with how well I've improved. Think I might start posting a few of eye looks soon.

Until then stay blessed and have a lovely evening...
