DeJa Vu it seems as this years A/W collections seem to be just as perfect as last years. My personal love for gothic trends escalate in winter as blacks get layered with blacks. Reds/blacks/lace/baroque's/jacquard/wool/knit/leather/paneling the list goes on!
I'm actually getting excited writing about it, browsing through my favourite A/W shops, NewLook, River Island and H&M. I seem to want everything.
Alrighty then, off to sell all my current clothes in order to purchase new ones! Recycle!

10 Beauty Must-Haves
Looking down at my light tan, but predominantly black coloured cotton pad, it occurs to me that I have a list of beauty essentials in my life. Unfortunately I'm not a beauty heavy person, however, even the more boyish ladies need essentials, right?!
Starting with Garniers Fresh Essentials Cleansing Lotion. No1 essential is a cleanser, even if you don't wear makeup, it is imperative that you clean your skin of any dirt and grime accumilated from lifes daily adventures. I dread to think what makeup-reliant women look like without cleanser! Use each and every night with a clean cotton pad.
no2 - just to be a fangirl - Garnier Fresh Essentials Refreshing Toner. It is important to tone your skin after cleansing it. Each and every night!
no3 - A stricter Astringent cleanser such as Clean and Clear, I personally use an Avon brand. This is essential for people with oily/combination skin such as me. I have suffered with mild cases of acne and it is prone to recur if I don't strictly clean my skin. Unprofessional verdict: if it stings, it's probable good.
no4 - clay masks. Having an oily Tzone, I find it of great help to me when I apply a clay mask. It brings out all of the excess oil and makes skin supple and soft. Its harmful to use often though, and I tend to only apply where the skin is oily.
no5 - moisturiser. Especially after shaving legs! It just simply makes you feel good! I have a top tip for long hours standing up. After a shower before leaving for work, I will apply some moisuriser to the bottoms of my feet, this way, when I put my socks on, my feet will be soaking it up and keeping my feet soft!
no6 - slightly the same as no5, tinted moisturiser! I don't like wearing makeup on my face, anything other than eyeliner! So tinted moisturiser is the best way to imply colour but whilst keeping your skin healthy!
no7 - Look Beauty Brow Perfect. This kit has saved my life. With 7 different shades and four cities' shapes to choose from, you can so easily transform your brows. Also has a mini pair of tweezers for those annoying little stragglies! Buy here or at your local Superdrug store!
no8 - Maybeline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner in Ultra Black. Paint it on, just how you like. Run the brush over the base of your eyelashes, then push the brush between your finger, creating a sharp precision brush to create definitive flicks for a classy edge. Perfect!
no9 - Laura Geller's Balance n Brighten. See my last blog, that is all I need to say!
last but not least no10 - ModelCO Illusion Nude Lip Liner. This ingenious invention has a built in sharpener in the lid. Every pencil ever needs this! Its perfect to wear to work, it gives the illusion of bigger lips without the illusion of wearing makeup. I insist you buy one!
