Caramel

As those of you who follow my Instagram will know I have had huge issues with my Mac over the past week and due to my lack of backing things up lost several unpublished shoots as well as past work.  Now though, thanks to my local IT shop I am back up and running just in time to race into 2016. 

It has finally started to get cold in the country and this Ede & Ravenscroft vintage camel coat is my favourite throw on.  My cosy, laid back holiday dressing has been spiced up with a few special Christmas presents including this stunning black and rose gold Cluse watch and a few rings from designer of the moment Amber Sceats.  I hope you also received some lovely gifts.

With the festive season comes festive beauty treats and I am a magpie for anything nude and shimmery.  One of my favourite recent discoveries is the Make Me Beautiful collection by Next.  The brand has everything from pretty pallets to glossy lip colours and all in their signature clean silver packaging.

If you're looking for great gifts for fashion loving friends look no further.  I am already addicted to their silky velvet primer (£10) which is one of the best I've tried and the Cherry Red Chubby Stick (£8) which glides on beautifully and moisturises for soft lips.  The block bronzer (£8) is a handbag essential and a quick swish refreshes your look throughout the day.

Hop over to the Next website to see the full collection and pick up some treats for friends (or yourself).  Happy shopping.

RUST

The burnt rusty shades of the fallen leaves complement the continuation of the 70s trend perfectly.  The weather is just mild enough to still be wearing my favourite Dolce & Gabbana leather jacket with a few recent High St editions.
