Amy Louise : Favourites

What styles have caught your eye this Autumn?

Im coming to the end of my pregnancy and everyday I am looking at clothes online creating massive shopping baskets as my wardrobe is looking a little sorry for itself after 3-4 months of neglect (I was lucky be able to fit in (some) my clothes until I was about 5 and a half months gone)

These are just a few styles that I am looking forward to wearing (bump free) for this Autumn & Winter.

Boohoo, Pretty Little Things,
Inthestyle, ASOS

They are all styles that can be dressed up and down which is something that I look for as you can then style the items of clothing in many ways.

As I may have mentioned before, I may have a baby but this shouldn't stop you from feeling and looking your best. It may take some time to get ready around having to do all the mummy things but the results will be Happy Self.

My Essential A/W15 wardrobe must haves;

Knee High Boots

Floppy Hat

Oversized coat

Bodysuits

Teaming my must haves with Jeans or a skirt creates the perfect day/night outfit.

Sorry it's a day late, wasn't feeling very well yesterday and ended up spending the day in bed with a migraine.

I said last week that I would start a weekend Manicure Monday Post. However my polish from last week has lasted well with no chips so I haven't changed them. So instead I thought I would do a post on colours and nail wraps I've seen and like.

Firstly I think for a really fun nail you can't go wrong with nail wraps, I always buy my friends and goddaughter some really funky ones as a little stocking filler. I've seen these Ted Baker That's a Wrap floral nail wraps in Boots and my goddaughters Xmas present this year is ted baker themed (makeup brushes,makeup bag, pencil case) so I'll be adding these to them.

Also for next year in Easter or Summer I think the Bada Bloom Flower Manicure by Ciate is great, I would need some assistance but I'm sure the end result would be great.

I really like the colours on the Ciate Dolls House Set, as I've said previously I'm not one for dark colours so this is perfect for me.

For the winter season I think the Nails Inc The Alexa Editions Collection is really fun as it had the glittery polishes as well as flat colours if you want to add a little bit of sparkle to nails.

Finally some colours I like

Top left- Butter London Polish in saucy-jack, perfect to wear with a little black dress at the Christmas party.

Bottom right- Butter London in nail tart with a heart, I love a sparkle and this would great as 2 coats or as a top coat to a light shade.

The nail polishes of all nail polishes which I'm adding to my Christmas list, Christian louboutin The Nudes Alta Perla Nail Colour. This is a classic shade for a classic brand.

If I could walk into a high end department store such as Selfridges or Harrods and buy whatever I wanted, I would be heading for these Items first followed by anything else that caught my eye.
I know to some people these may seem plain but I think they are classic timeless pieces.

What Luxury items would you buy?

No7 Beautiful Skin Hot Cloth Cleanser

I have now used the No7 Beautiful Skin Hot Cloth Cleanser for a few months and was running low so decided to stock up. The cleanser is priced at under £10 and I feel for the brand that is reasonable.

The blurb says that you can enjoy the luxury of a spa facial in your own home and I feel that you can certainly do that with a relaxing bubble bath.
With a rich and thick textured cleaner that feels like a bit of luxury on the skin and a muslim cloth to remove dead skin and daily grime it leaves my skin feeling radiant and deeply cleansed.

As instructed, I apply 1 or 2 pumps onto damp skin and massage in to loosen makeup/oil and dirt. I place the muslim cloth in hot water to warm the cloth, this helps open my pores when I place over my face after a few minutes of massaging the cleanser in.
The best way to enjoy this is with candles, hot bubble bath and a bit of background music.

After a few minutes of relaxing, I remove and wipe the excess makeup/oil and dirt and splash my face with cool water to close the pores.

I have seen reviews on the similarity this product has to Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish but at double the price I am quite happy to stick with this product.

I would love to know which you prefer?

No7 Beautiful Skin Night Cream

Night time is the best time for our skin and using a night cream will ensure that our skin is hydrated for the morning. Our skin has 8 hours of breathing time before it is faced with makeup and the everyday pollution. No7 have many night creams and I may be best to talk to an expert and tell them what skin type you have and what you want from the cream so it can be tailored to you. I prefer No7 as they are non greasy and less likely to block my pores.

No7 Melting Gel Cleanser

I am yet to properly use this product, I have only used 2/3 times. However i would love to hear what you think of it if you have used this.

I love the London Look

It took me a long time to find the perfect shade of Red. I spent hours searching the counters of House of Fraser and Boots. I came out with my hand covered in different swatches of red. I didn't want anything too bright, too flat or too dark, I was basically being very picky that day.

I finally settled on the Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick 01. It is a deep red and I felt this complimented my skin tone quite well. It really does live up to the name "Lasting Finish" as it does not dry out. I can put on in the morning and its still there by the afternoon. It has an easy apply and does not bleed so no need for lipliner.

If I am wearing this in the evening, I tend to put a gloss over the top just its not necessary this is just my own personal preference.

It was 3.99 from Boots. I honestly think that this is just as good as some of the expensive brands.

Whats you favourite Lipstick?

So it's a well known fact by my family and friends that I am a lover of perfume, I have a selection in my room, a selection in the bathroom and again at my boyfriends house. I don't know what I'll do when we move into our own little house soon! I will be doing a post on Summer Fragrance so keep a look out for that.

This morning I decided as I haven't worn it in a while to put on Chanel Coco Mademoiselle. As soon as I put it on my love for Chanel came rushing back. It's a fragrance that is simply timeless. It is so fitting with the weather today with it being light and fresh.

Usually by now I would have topped up my perfume but not with Chanel, it's long lasting and the smell does not fade. I have had work friends ask what perfume I'm wearing and I'm proudly saying Chanel. It's certainly a perfume that injects confidence into you.

Also I cant help but keep the empty bottles of this as I think the bottle is just so pretty.

Do you have a love for Chanel? If not what's your favourite perfume?
