Outfit Post OOTD 1

 

I fell hopelessly in love with Ugg Boots in 2008. Yea I still remember the exact year, I am weird like that. I just started my Masters course at Bristol University, in the middle of winter, and I wanted something to keep me warm and look stylish at the same time. Ugg Boots are my guiltiest fashion pleasure, but I am not so guilty. I have four pairs now; blue, black, brown and grey, and I am not done yet. I find them so comfortable but yet stylish. The bridge between comfort and style, should be called UGG BOOTS, I am giving the brand free press here and I know it, but I don’t care, I love their boots sooooo much.

It breaks my heart to hear some women say they find Ugg Boots too casual, not chic enough to wear outside the house, and I am like, WHAT? Don’t get me wrong, I know you can’t pair them with an evening dress or a suit, or wear them to a formal event, like a wedding or a dinner date, but Ugg Boots have their ow place. They can be worn on shopping days, running errands, school runs, and the likes.

They are great with a pair of skinnies or leggings, on those days when you want to look casual-chic. Here are some ways for you to style the Ugg Boots and some ways you shouldn’t:

  1. Wear with no make-up and a messy hair for the chilled out look.
  2. Do not wear with tracksuits. You will look trashy.
  3. They look great with chunky knit, and skinnies.
  4. You can pair your Ugg Boots with a long tunic or tux shirt, and show off your bare legs, if it is not too cold.

Ugg Boots are the winter staple for the fashion conscious, stylish woman, and I see they being around for a very long time, but still, they divide the fashion savvy. Many believe they’re best worn in the comfort of their home, while others like me see them as fashion staple.

Cure Acne in 7 Days

I have been sleep derived for days now, thanks to my darling baby boy. I was warned about the terrible twos and the sleeping problems it comes along with, but nothing prepared me for what I am currently going through. I am lucky, if I get 4 hours uninterrupted sleep on some nights, kisses to the beauty gurus for innovating the magic stick or liquid – concealer, it usually does the trick. Good makeup and a strong cup of coffee get me through the day on most days, but I now want a more permanent solution to my sleep worries.

I have also realised that apart from me going about like a zombie all day, due to my lack of sleep, my skin also suffers. I have more acne and spots when I am unable to have at least 7 hours sleep a night, than when I do have a good night sleep. On the few occasions, when my little ones allow me sleep, I find that I struggle to find a comfortable position to drift off. I have tried changing pillows, beddings, even tried a Boots sleep pillow mist, and I am still not getting my beauty sleep, so now I am thinking of changing our mattress.

We have had our mattress for now for almost 6 years now, and I know most brands recommend you change your mattress every 8 years, but I think ours is due for a change. I think the most important thing in my makeup bag is my BED (even though it does not fit in my makeup bag), it is not called a beauty sleep for nothing, without sleep there is no beauty or life. Research has shown that it is possible to survive without eating for weeks, but live only 11 days without sleeping, that fact alone should encourage us to make the most of our bed.

An independent study carried out by Adjustable Beds revealed improvements to skin, concentration, mood and well-being from a good night’s sleep. Check out the findings in this video below:

So there you have it. Having a good night sleep (8 hours every night), can cure acne in 7 days. I now aim to call it a day every night once it is 11pm. I know this will be hard, since I am so used to going to bed after midnight everyday, but it not good for my skin or state of mind, so I will be making changes.

Do you have 8 hours sleep every night? Sound off in the comment section.

Thanks for reading.

Kylie Jenner Covers Elle UK February 2016

Kylie Jenner

 

Hey folks. I didn’t feature as many magazine covers as I should have last month because everyone was busy getting ready for Christmas and I didn’t have enough days to feature all I wanted to. I did try to squeeze in as many as I could, but this month, it is business as usual, I will be covering all my usual magazine covers, so watch this space.

This month Elle’s is all about the famous Kylie Jenner, and I am loving the cover, she looks beautiful on it, and I am sure this issue is going to be bought quickly by her young fans, if they can afford to cough out £4.10 for an issue. I see Elle Magazine’s target market as women in their 20s and above with a disposable income because of the magazine content and price tag, but who knows. Kylie Jenner’s fans could be women in their 20s with a disposable income, what do I know.

Back to the cover, Kylie Jenner looks gorgeous on it, and I was not expecting anything less, she is a pretty girl.  Her hair and makeup is simply flawless, and the white looks perfect on the grey background, and the dash of yellow makes it even more beautiful, but I really not sure about buying this month’s issue. I am not that interested in Kylie Jenner if I am being completely honest, and the cover girl plays a major role in determining what issue I buy, so I don’t know about this one. However, the pieces to buy and fashion’s new season articles interest me, so I may be looking to get some inspiration from there.

What are your thoughts on this cover? Will you be buying it?

Drop me a comment, let’s chat.

Thanks for reading and have a lovely Friday.
