AX Paris AW14 Press Day

Saturday, October 18, 2014
Last month (yes, I know this is a very very late post, I completely forgot about it!) I attended the AX Paris AW14 Press Day with Lucy from Pretty Little Things & The Cotton City (here) as well as Hayley from Strangeness and Charm (here). I met up with the lovely Hayley and after going to the wrong venue we had to walk for a while and get a tram to the Black Dog Ballroom. The cocktails were delicious but very sweet and the cupcakes were adorable! The autumn/winter clothes looked gorgeous, especially the red/orange tones which just scream autumn to me. Also the glittery, fancy party pieces look perfect for the upcoming party and holiday season! 
There were quite a few big bloggers there such as Hannah Louise and Amy Valentine! After a look around the clothes, we both had henna done on our hands - it was the first time I have had henna done and I love the way it looked although it was messy while walking around Manchester. The goody bag from the event was amazing, not as amazing as the incredible Essence goody bag but still it was fantastic! Overall, the autumn/winter AX Paris collection looks gorgeous, thank you to AX Paris for the invite/event!

What do you think of the AX Paris AW14 collection? 

Month in Photos: September

Wednesday, October 01, 2014
Well September has been a very busy month! I have been to four blogger events, helped my auntie move house, redecorated my bedroom, visited Ikea 5 times, had breakfast/lunch at Sugar Junction twice, attended my first press day, testing/testing/testing and I went to the races!

The blogger events: the first blogger event was an amazing day at St Leger's Ladies Race Day in Doncaster with Ladbrokes, Branded3 and one of my BF's Yasmin which was fantastic, it was the first race day I have ever been to - it was very fancy in the premium suite! The second blogger event was at The Body Shop in the Trafford Centre with Lucy (click here to check out her blog) and I discovered the gorgeousness of coppery eyeshadows. The third blogger event was the #fightcancerwithfashion event with Lucy at Allotment bar. The final blogger event of September was the AX Paris press day last Saturday which was a great event, I met up with the lovely Hayley (click here to check out her blog) and we received the most amazing goodie bag!

I have been really busy helping redecorate my sisters bedroom and my bedroom this month - we have been to Ikea five times! We have been building wardrobes, storage, painting, wallpapering. I didn't know I had so much stuff, I had two large boxes just for makeup...I may have a problem. I love the way my room looks now though, very clean and organised, click here to see my room makeover post. Also one of my aunties moved house in September which was quite emotional as since I was a baby I have been going to that house every week or two weeks and for Christmas/Easter so it was a bit upsetting when we were moving all of the stuff out. 

Other news this month is that I have found a gorgeous new cafe/restaurant in Manchester called Sugar Junction which is on Tib Street. The field mushroom slice is heavenly and the sticky toffee pudding is to die for! Check out my instagram and twitter for more photos. Also this month I have been practising halloween makeup looks (I am super excited for halloween and christmas - especially the Boots Christmas gifts that are in stores now, I may have made a little order today!) and I have been testing so many new products! Oh and at the AX Paris event I had henna done for the first time and I LOVE it! 

Just a little note: October is breast cancer awareness month so stay tuned as I will have a post all about the products you can buy which donate to breast cancer charities.. As well as a pink themed makeup giveaway ft. Stila, Essence, Yves Rocher, Collection and Makeup Revolution! 

I hope everyone had a great September! Blog posts for September will include even more reviews, new product releases, halloween makeup looks, autumnal baking, blogger event posts and early christmas gift guides/wish lists!
