Wicked Frost

 

Hey huns! Here is what I wore on Sunday as I travelled back up North to university. As you can probably tell I was very cold, so I wrapped myself up in lots and lots of layers. I even ended up adding a coat on top for extra cosiness. 

I also wore my new lipstick, that was kindly gifted to me by my brother for Christmas. It is from the Topshop makeup range and in the shade Wicked. 

But yeah, it was a just a slouchy, comfy outfit but I still think it looked quite nice, like I'd made the effort but really all I wanted was warmth! 

P.S. Is it just me who likes the crunchy sound when you walk on frosty grass? 

What I'm wearing:

Mustard Shirt - Topshop

Cardigan - Primark

Jeans - Joni @ Topshop

Scarf - Stolen from Mum

Bag - H&M

Boots - New Look

Rings - Cladder & H&M 

Nail Varnish - Barry M Aquatic in 'Caspian'

Again I apologise about my awkward posing; it never gets better does it hehe? But thanks to my little assistant Claire for taking these pictures and putting up with my nonsense! Thanks for reading!

Love Rosie

It dawned on me just the other day that I’ve been living away at uni for a good four months now (golly!) and I still haven’t shown off my little bedroom to y’all.

So here is my bedroom away in S’land. I’m really happy with it, I think I’ve decorated it nicely and it feels nice and homely now. I think my favourite part is probably the shelves or maybe the photos I've got up by the sink.

This is my last day in Sunderland as tomorrow I'm heading back home to the Midlands for Christmas, so hopefully I'll have a few more posts to share with you before 2014 is up!

Hope you liked this post, if you have any questions feel free to ask me below in the comments or tweet me @roseanne_sophia.

Mwah!

Celebrate with Miss Selfridge

The Christmas Party Season is vastly approaching and with today being the first of December, I thought I’d start off with a cheeky fashion look book for the festive season, as us girls are always in the lookout for inspiration and statement pieces at this busy time of year!

All the items in this look book are from Miss Selfridge. This outfit would be perfect for a Christmas night out with friends, or even a dinner.

Beaded Top - £35

Brown Faux Fur Stole – £25

Black Razor Knee Jeans - £30.40 *on sale*

Embellished Box Clutch - £35

Black Court Shoe - £39

This beaded top is just to die for isn't it? It's so well made and put together, you'll be looing like a glamorous flapper  girl in no time. Paired with razor-knee black jeans, it accentuates the detailing on the top, which deserves to be shown off. Along with a killer clutch, elegant black heels and a fluffy stole you'll be ready for the runway!

Did you like this post? Are there any shops you'd like to see me do the same type of thing for? What events do you have planned this season?

Presents for Men*

Buying presents for men can be a hard task. And with Christmas vastly approaching I think it's about time we start planning ahead. We’re all guilty of saying that we're going to buy our presents early each year, but it never really works out does it?  Well this year, I’m here to help you up a step on the male present-choosing-buying ladder!

Personally, I've always found it hard to buy good presents for boys. Be it my brother, Dad, boyfriend or any other male family member, it seems as a species they've decided to be difficult in this area.

Whenever I ask my Dad what he'd like for Christmas/Birthday I normally get a sarcastic reply of 'peace and quiet' or 'socks'. And as boring as they both are he usually gets his way and I feel like I let him down in buying something bad.

But don't fret, (!) as this year I've found the solution! Men’s gifts sets - yes, they are out there! I've had a good nosy around the high street and found some really lovely ones.

This particular set from House of Fraser is the 'Great Skin for Him Gift Set' by Clinique. It has great reviews and looks really cool – simplistic is always best in my opinion when it comes to men! It isn't too fragranced either, which is often a problem with Men’s smellies. Instead of that 'I just dropped a whole bottle of cologne on the mat and went with it' kinda smell, it has a nice fresh and clean smell (which is always good!) and this particular set contains aloe vera so it's also kind to the skin!

It comes with:

• Shaving Gel
• Face Scrub
• Post Shave Moisturiser
• Anti-age Moisturiser

I think these sets are a really good idea for men as they don't need too much fussing over in the mornings (lucky!) so these do just the job - and they'll come out smelling nice (bonus for you!)


My brother was kind enough to try this set out and we found that his skin is looking much clearer already.Which is always a plus! So there are visible improvements within one week of use as the products all work very well, none are too harsh. He particularly praised the exfoliator - which left him with instant results and clearer skin.

Here are a few other sets I've seen around:

• Kiehls Ultimate Man Kit £29.50
• Baylis & Harding Amber Noir &Sandalwood Grooming Box Set £12.00
• Cowshed Bullocks for Men Duo Gift Set £30.00

I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know if you'd like to see any other posts like this below in the comments box.

 

How's your Christmas shopping going? Have you started yet? Let me know - I love a good chat!
