November Favourites!

Favourites time again, guys. This month's favourites are again, pretty predictable but hey, ho. Crazy to think that next month will be the last favourites of 2012!

Favourite Hair Product - Granier Fructis Repair and Shine Shampoo and Conditioner. You all know how much I have raved about this, how could I not? Still going strong, I am loving this hair care system. I have a full review a few posts down if you're interested. It leaves me hair feeling super soft and totally manageable. Soft and healthy is definitely a good hair look.

Favourite Nail Product - Water Transfers. Probably my best purchase this month was my water transfers off eBay. My first was obviously my Obama transfers but I have bought quite a few more since. They are super easy to use and add a little something to a nail look. You can get pretty much any design, even do them yourself. They're cheap and easy, fun and quirky. How can you go wrong?

Favourite Make Up Product - MAC Eyeshadow in Fig. 1. What can I say about this shadow? I spoke about it in the haul and the Coloured Brows post. I'm using it everyday and carrying a second in my bag for eyebrow touch ups. I am loving having purple brows and I seriously owe that lovely MAC MUA a pint.

















Favourite Tool - Angled Eyeliner Brush. This item sort of relates to the one above. You can't do your brows without a brush and that is what I use this for. I like jsing an angled brush on my brows as I find it's easy to get a defined line and also quick to fill in. You get a lot of control with an angled brush. This specific brush was from IMATS in 2010 and is 1/8 of an inch.

Favourite Accessory - Hammered Gold Ring. I have wore this ring quite a lot this month. And I really wanted to add something different that wasn't my bargain 80p earrings. I like how simple yet effective this ring is. It's really nothing special but really adds to an outfit. I'm totally loving gold right now too so it's great just to add that extra something.

Favourite Fashion Item - A Beanie. Ah, the humble beanie. I'm all for a hat no matter what the season and I have been loving wearing a fedora or a beanie this season. This one is a personal favourite as I just love the colours - it goes with most of my wardrobe this season. Whether you go chic, totally over the top or bobble, you really can't go wrong with a hat, just dress it right and style your hair around your hat! My number one tip.

Favourite Miscellaneous - Kindle Fire HD. Could it be anything else? I use it numerous times a day from blogging, tweeting, Skyping, making notes, shopping lists and of course, reading! I find it easier to use (due to size) than the iPad and over £200 cheaper. What else can I say?

Pets Rock Haul.

To anyone who read my Vogue Overview for November 2012 and saw my final comment about the Snoop Dog mug, I have found the creator. Pets Rock is a full range of dogs, cats and rodents made into celebrities. Here are a few pieces I picked up from a little boutique called Yela Brick Road. You can get all these items and a lot more here.

Vogue Overview, November 2012.

It's Vogue time again and I cannot believe I have now had this blog for over a month and more importantly - I'm still using it! I haven't been the best at keeping up with these things and I have let it slip a little this last week but I am back with a few posts lined up. Thank God for the schedule ability on Blogger!

I have to admit, I loved this edition. Firstly because of the beauty on the cover. I am a huge Hunger Games fans - book and film, so it was really nice to see and read about the real her. Jennifer Lawrence looks a lot different here. She is so glam and I am in love with her hair - truely! As for contents, again I loved!

The first point I noticed on the front cover was 'Chop and Change - how to cut your own hair' point. Now, I used to cut my own hair mainly becasue then I couldn't get mad at anyone other than myself. But after reading and seeing the article, I went for a pair of scissors. Yes, I did it. I cut my own hair! Okay, that's a slight exaduration, I had my hair cut a few weeks ago but I did cut in a full fringe and I love it! I made it quite lnog and choppy and just made it a touch shorter every ten minutes or so just incase I hated it but no, it looks fabulous and it now sits on the brow and personally I think it suits my square jaw and pale complexion. So go for it girls, the holy grail of Vogue says do it, cut your own hair! (Page 227)

As an avid bargain hunter, I loved the article on car boot sales and the gems they uncover. I adore going to a boot sale and luckily I live in the country so they are easy to come by. I have found some great pieces from boot sales, including a vintage real fur coat for only £45 and a pair of Dr Marten boots for £6. I recently have picked up the habit of checking eBay religiously for the staple items, just to see and I did find a bargain last week - I found a pair of Dr Marten shoes (so good for the time of year and so chic to wear with a fur coat and some ankle grazer jeans!) for only £8. RRP being around £80. They said wore and used but I picked them up this morning and was very surprised to find a brand new pair of shoes in the box. Yay for a bargain! I also love a boot sale as you find stuff you wjust wouldn't buy in the shops, I have alot of cool 80's/early 90's clothes from boot sales. So tell me where you found your original 'Back to the Future' jumper! Go and explore!  (Page 154)

And is there anyone who doesn't want the Snoop Dog mug on page 254, item 14? No, I thought not!
