New years eve party outfit pick

Now that the excitement for Christmas is over,(boo!) the next hot party (or chance to wear a nice outfit) is New years eve! I have put together a few outfits which I personally think would be good to wear for a party.
The outfit I have covered are:

  • Outfit with dress,
  • Budget dress outfit,
  • Budget top and trousers Outfit,
  • Top and trousers Outfit,
  • My personal outfit.
This outfit is for girls who aren't on a tight budget and are willing to splash out. The earrings give a glamorous twist to the outfit. The shoes are very vintage too so the outfit has quite a lot going on yet reaches all areas of trends going at the moment
This outfit is for girls who are on a budget but still want to look effortlessly A-list. The shoes will look a lot more expensive then what they really are. 




My personal favourite of the outfits, the statement pants are a steal for only £12.00! They have great detail too and tie the rest of the outfit together. The heels are high yet neutral coloured so will not draw attention away from the patterned top. 
Although it is quite an expensive outfit, it is definitely worth the price! This outfit is for girls who aren't quite as comfortable in dresses but still want the stylish vibe! The top is quite a plain top so will let the zebra pants do all the talking for the outfit. (I sound like I'm from the sixties!)


My personal outfit 
My heels side view, you may not be able to tell but they have an open toe for maximum style.




My dress front view. Features a one shoulder strap for the catwalk look.
Both my shoes and dress are from Newlook.
Hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas and have a fabulous new year!
Much love,Nicole xo

Being body confident

In my opinion, the media is so shallow these days, girls from a young age are taught if you like to have a skinny waist, tanned body and of course, big breasts. But think of it, how much harder would it be to find good fitting clothes if you had this figure? Your body would be disproportional resulting in barely any clothes fitting your figure.
Every now and then, we will just be flicking through a magazine and see the latest picture of a perfect looking celebrity and a wave of jealousy will cross upon our minds. “why can’t I look like her!”

 Never do we think about it this way “Wow she does look amazing, I wonder how many people do her hair and makeup?” You have to remember that the celebrities in these photos have no doubt got makeup on which has been done by award winning make-up artists, also their photos which have been posted could have been edited. We just don’t know but there is definitely a good chance of it.

Admit it, we have all been in the jealousy position, but even celebrities have the lame hair/ make up days.


Did you know?
Heidi Montag has apparently had to design her clothes herself because of her “inhuman figure” and no stores have any clothes that will fit her. She also had 10 cosemtic treatments done in one(!) day.
Being confident
Just remember, even celebrities aren’t perfect, nobody is. Every girl is too worried about their own figure that they barely notice other girls. Also, wear clothes that will hug your figure nicely and most importantly, clothes you feel comfortable in. Never wear anything you don't feel right in, people will be able to tell you are uncomfortable.

Have you all had a good Christmas? I enjoyed mine a lot. Pigging out at the Christmas dinner and nibbling the chocolates we have been given as presents. Don’t worry about pigging out, it’s Christmas you deserve it!
Comment and follow,
Much love,

My morning skin Routine

Hello guys, it is 11;23pm and im currently listening to my favourite band "My Chemical Romance" They make me happy hehe:)
My routine consists of the following 
-Toner
-Cleanser
-Moisturiser 




I have a specific order that I use them in:
I first use my cleanser,
Then I use toner,
Then finally the moisturiser
I usually do my routine about twice a day, once in the morning, once at night.
Why are cleansers good for the skin?

-Using a facial cleanser helps to avoid a build up of any unwanted materials within the pores.

- Using a facial cleanser helps to get rid of the impurities and cleans up the pores, thus allowing them to breathe in air freely.
How to apply:
Wet face with cold water and lather up into the skin.
Rinse off and pat dry.
Why is toner good for the skin?
-toner closes up your pores which gives the sensation of your skin being tight
-Reduces inflammation 
-Removes final traces of make up.
How to apply:

Wet a clean cotton ball and apply in upwards strokes on your face. Then use another clean cotton ball applying upward strokes on your neck.

Why is moisturiser good for the skin?
Prevents premature ageing(wrinkles)
Prevents dry skin
How to apply
Get a pea sized amount 

Rub into face until used up.
