It's been a while since I come up with a favourite post. I had my list long ago, but it's been a long while ago that I don't feel like raving about it anymore. Then, now I am in my holiday, I realize I don't have much current favourites, I don't wear much makeup lately so that's not helping, I don't even dress up much as well. But I still try to dig out some of the stuff that I've been loving lately. Despite the difficulty I had to try to find something I like, I had actually shopped a lot and I don't think I ever want or even manage to do a full haul post on it.
So I've been crazy on Topshop for the past few months and had purchased some stuff there including the makeups but later for that. I just want to keep this post short and simple.
Topshop Tall Biker Jacket GBP 50.00+
This is all thanks to one of my friend that's been obsessing over her biker jacket, and those fashionista youtubers who always feature a biker jacket. Actually, I was never into this kind of jacket. It's a fitted style, so it's the opposite of me who always goes for oversize for my torso.
But after a few visit to the store and trying out the jacket I decided to try and I actually was about to purchase the real leather one which is GBP 165.00 *oh my god! I know*, but my sanity hold me back and ask me to try the pleather (PU) one first and if I really like the style then go for the real leather next time.
SO how is it? I totally fall for this style, I wish I had the real leather one. The one I bought is for tall, so it's a bit longer for me, but I still like it and I really think this was a very very successful experiment!It's just PU, but it doesn't look cheap at all, so I like that. The one I bought actually had a fur collar with it, but I hate that and took it off. I can't wait to find the chance to buy a real leather one.
I just love to layer it with cardigans, or hoodies and even over thick knitwear, totally cozy! It definitely give out that 'cool' factor to your outfit and better yet, it's good for all year round in Belfast.
Topshop Plain Khaki Army Jacket GBP 40.00
Another jacket, great for layering, the army jacket! Another good one from Topshop. I thought of trying out the camouflage print one, but it's just seems hmmmmm tooo trendy? hahaa! So I thought just a plain green khaki would be more subtle to jump into the army loose jacket trend.
Same as the above jacket, it's really great for layering and give off that cool laidback plus androgynous look, I love that! This is definitely an alternative to my thick knit outerwear which I wear usually during fall/spring, and when it's get colder I add up another layer under it.
Topshop Lips in Beguilded GBP 8.00
This is one of those impulse purchase *not surprising at all, I always buy a new lipstick '-.- * when I look at the colour, it just scream me! It's dark plum and actually I was kinda pissed off at myself because the colour is almost the same as Diva from MAC, and I hardly use much of Diva. So this actually can be a dupe for MAC Diva except that Beguiled is slightly more purplish compare to Diva more reddish. One thing I don't like at first is the fine light reflective particles that give off a 'sheeny' creamy look, but then when I wear it and pat it with tissue, I totally love the finish. It quickly gives off that matte 'stained' look, like you just had a lot of ribena *or wine for those who drinks*. So I just keep on reaching for this one especially when the colour really suits the fall winter palette. Wear it bare with just mascara or darker with soft smokey eye or even with black flicked cat-eye, it will look lovely! Plus, for darker girl like me, I never felt it's overpowering.
Hugo Boss - Boss Nuit Pour Femme 75ml
(GBP50.00+ I can't remember the exact price, I got it at duty free)
I got this fragrance at Heathrow duty-free when I was on my way back to Belfast. The sales assistant actually had a hard time trying to find fragrance that I like, I was asking for some heavy strong scent but florally. She let me tested some of the popular floral scent including the Marc Jacobs one with the ladybug packaging. But I wasn't really hooked and the idea of many people having it kinda put me off. Then she show me this one, one of the latest one. It's quite pricey, but if I bought the 75ml bottle I got a free black clutch bag. The clutch is actually very decent, so I really think it was worth it.
Boss Nuit is just fresh, florally, quite strong but not too overpowering which I find really suits for class. It also last long which I expect from an EDP formula. At the end of the day it left me smell fresh and decent, not so 'sexy' or seducing *which is the usual case for strong fragrance*, so that's why I feel it's suits for class and work, a very professional smell. It has aldehydes and peach for top note, heart notes of white flowers, jasmine and sensual violet. The base notes consists of crystalline moss and creamy sandalwood. The packaging is nice in a tall black bottle with crystal top, simple and classy.
So that's all for now, I'll be paying more attention to my favourites from now on. Since it's holiday, I definitely will develop other posts for my blog and keep it active, so look out for more! Have a great winter holiday!
nice post love it
