Un aventure à Kedleston

Earlier this week I took a day trip out to Kedleston Hall with my Mum to take pictures of the neo-classical Baroque stylings there for my Textiles project. 

Honestly I have never seen such a beautiful house (more like castle!) 

Sometimes I wish that I was born in the early 19^th century so that I could have lived in a grand chateau with its own church, stables and 100 acre land!

I would most definitely recommend Kedleston for a lovely day out – there’s even a cute little café at the end! Here are some of my pictures from the day:

Being the huge book worm that I am – I was mesmerised by the extent the trust had gone to, to keep the books so clean and pretty. Each book cabinet or bookcase was organised alphabetically or by topic. There was even one whole room dedicated to poetry! I found an original copy of Dante’s Inferno and the Divine Comedy even several editions of the dictionary - it was extraordinary, just a shame I couldn't sneak a peek.

Here is my outfit for the day

(sorry I don’t have a better picture):

Collared Shirt - River Island

Burgundy Cut Out Top - Next

Jeans - Topshop

Tan Brogues - Office

Side Bag - Cath Kidston (Of course!)

Until next time mes amis,

Autumn Winter Essentials

Autumn is just around the corner, which means Winter will not be far behind (only 65 days till Christmas!) So I have compiled a list of must-have essential items for the upcoming months!

A Winter Coat

1. Checked Coat, ZARA £129.
2. Double Breasted Pea coat, Topshop £75
3. Woolen Wraparound Coat, ZARA £89.99

Oversized is back and oh my - how I adore this trend. Here are three beauties I found online – aren’t they gorgeous! They are a tad expensive but just think - each one will last forever! The tartan coat is so beautiful (!) if only I was £129 richer I would snap this one up right away.

CARMEX

Carmex pot, £2.69 @ Boots

I can’t express my love for Carmex. My lips get really chapped and dry during the cold weather, so Carmex is a great remedy!

Brogues

1. 'Grosvenor' Brogues, £175 Russell&Bromley
2. 'Mersey' Leather Brogues, £50 ASOS
3. 'Frankie Chocolate Brown Brogues', £60 Office

Most girls prefer boots for winter but I've never been that type of gal. I prefer a good old brogue – these are just to die for aren't they? I have actually been dying for a pair of Russell and Bromley brogues forever so hopefully when my birthday comes around, (next April) I might get lucky.

Honestly brogues are my favourite style of shoes because they go with all my clothes! My most recent pair are tan coloured from office and comfy too! If i could wear them everywhere, I most certainly would.

Cosy Knitwear

1. 'Rice Sun' Knit, £21 Vero Moda
2. 'Rayser Crew', £32 Jack Wills Outlet
3. 'Fargo' Knit, £34 Vero Moda

Knitwear is key at this time of year, great to layer up over shirts and even dresses to keep you warm. These two Vero Moda knits are lovely aren’t they? I seriously recommend you go checkout their new season knitwear – there’s loads to choose from!

That's all folks - see you in my next post!

My Beauty Regime revealed ...

We all love to have a good nosy, so I thought I’d share with you all my daily beauty regime and what products I use. I have two beauty bags, one for cleansing and another for makeup. This is my beauty cleansing bag …

I use these products day and night, part of my daily routine - for me this works but I suppose it’s just down to what skin type you have. My skin gets quite dry easily so I do like to stock up on the good old moisturising products!

1. The Body Shop’s Tea Tree Skin Cleansing Toner

2. Clarins Cleanser

3. Simple’s hydrating moisturiser

4. Neutrogena’s Multi-defence Daily Moisturiser

5. Anatomicals ‘stop cracking up’ lip balm

Ok, so let’s start with 1… I honestly cannot express my love for the ‘Tea Tree’ range at the Body Shop. It is wonderful! I have also tried the face mask which left my face smelling lovely (and clean!) I use this toner twice a day after cleansing and it works wonders. It also has ‘white willow bark’ at the bottom of the bottle which you have to ‘shake to activate’ – how exciting!

Next we have my beautiful Clarins cleanser. It is to die for. It works really well and moisturises the skin at the same time, something that I really love about it is that it doesn't have a strong sickly smell either, however it is rather pricey so I like to stock up at Christmas and birthdays.

Number 3 is the Simple moisturiser, it really is simple – there isn't much to it. I’m not a huge fan of this because it sits on top of your skin rather than absorbing in. But it’s always good to have an extra!

Up next is the daily Neutrogena moisturiser, I think it’s safe to say this is THE BEST MOISTURISER EVER … and I have run out (sobs!) It works so well and sinks right in to your skin straight away. I got this one from Wilko’s but I haven't found it anywhere since – so if you see it, let me know!

Lastly is the Anatomicals lip balm. I bought this due to the humorous poem on the front and came to find that it actually works really well, I would definitely recommend you try it.

My beauty bag has come to an end :( hope you enjoyed this post!

What products do you use? Do you use any of these? How do you find them? I’d love to know (!) just pop me a comment in the box below! I'll make sure to reply.

Thanks for reading,

Love Roseanne
