My Autumn Bucket List: Outfit




Welcome to part 3 of my autumn bucket list. This is a blogger link up I'm taking part in hosted by the lovely Marie from picklebeanbooks. Today I'll be sharing my favourite Autumn outfit. 

I've got a bit OTT with clothes buying the last two months, it's my favourite season to dress for and I just LOVE everything that's in the shops. There have also been a good few sales flying around aswell.


The reddy plum tee I got for 99p second hand on EBay. The lady I bought it from cut the neckline herself and I love it because it can be worn as a scoop neck or off the shoulder.

The skirt I've had for a while, it's from H & M. I love the gold zip detail, it really compliments the cardi and 'holds me in' at all the right places,

I have been eyeing this river island cardigan up for a good while now but held off buying it because of the price tag (£40 I think!). I put it down to fate when I saw just one, in my size, sitting in a lonely spot of the store reduced to £20. How could I not re-home such a vulnerable piece of clothing?!

I also splurged on this TO DIE FOR Zara coat with leather waist coat style. At £119 (cringe!!) it is the most expensive thing I've bought in a very long time. I do think I'll be a good few winters out of it though and I'm still swooning every time I look at it. Plus wearing this somehow makes me feel really grown up.

Last but definitely not least is my Burgundy snood. I'm obsessed with Burgundy, I'm obsessed with wool snoods, at £5 from Primark picking this up was a no-brainer. Especially since I had my eye on the identical one from Monki that is more than 3* the price. I've been wearing this everyday and had a huge rant with my sister when she sneakily took it to work one day. (Makes mental note to buy in every colour)

Hope you like. What have your favourite purchases been this autumn??

Much Love

My Autumn Bucket List:Make-up- Warm Rustic Smokey Eyes


Okay so here goes the second installment for Marie's Autumn Bucket List blogger link-up. Next I'm going to do my favorite autumn.... Makeup!!

The main focus of this look was a really warm reddy-brown smokey eye. I think this is the first time I've ever played around with red eye shadow and it's my new fave look for this time of year. I really think it makes my blue eyes stand out more. Win!

The swatches from left to right are urban decay half baked, a mixture if colours from my ebay 120 colour pallette, and urban decay hustle and smog mixed.


I started with my shadow so I could correct the nasty drop down I always get. First I prepped the eyes with a brown creme shadow from Jemma Kidd in the shade Premiere. This is an unmissable step me as my eyelids are so damn oily!

I then swept urban decays' half baked shadow from my naked palette all over the lid and up to the crease. I added the mixture of red and purple colors from the Ebay palette on the outer half of my lids and up into the crease, being sure to blend this out nicely. I then went in with the darker brown through the crease and blended this out. I also added a mix of the reds and brown to the bottom lash line for extra definition.

I used a plum eyeliner on the outer corner. I thought this would be a different way to define the lash line and it suited the purple tones in the shadows. I urban decay Bourbon Pencil to the waterline and lots of brown mascara.

I done my base with my foundation of the moment... Revlon Colour Stay in Natural Beige  I then concealed my unsightly areas with Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in 2 light and concealed my optical baggage with Benefits' Erase Paste in No.1.  

I stuck with a warmer tone blush from another Ebay blush palette I have. I know I'm a cheapo!!

The last step was lippy. I thought my Revlon Lip Butter in Peach Parfait was the perfect shade as it's not at all dramatic (being only a touch lighter than my natural lip color) but has a beautiful gold sheen in it. The added bonus is it's super moisturizing  so that crisp autumn breeze doesn't chap your lips!!

Hope you liked this look and can try it soon.

Much Love
Georgia
