Asymmetrical lines and the perfect amount of bling

I am a big fan of asymmetrical lines when it comes to clothes, so when I came across this grey marl knitted dress with a different length skirt in Debenhams, I was sold!

The dress, which is from Quiz clothing, is of a nice stretchy material, and the fact that it’s knitted just makes it the perfect winter dress. The shape is flattering, as it really marks your waist before the skirt flairs out.

It’s a really unusual dress, and I absolutely love the random details! The neckline makes it really interesting, and the decorative buttons on one side under the bust creates a lovely contrast.
 
With the dress having so many decorative details in itself, I’ve opted for really simple silver jewellery to accessorise it with. These silver heart stud earrings with white Swarovski elements adds the perfect amount of bling to the outfit.

Continuing on the silver theme, I’m also wearing this lovely Thomas Sabo charm bracelet from Joshua James jewellery with 3 different charms including a four-leaf clover, an anchor, and a white pearl. I adore charm bracelets as they’re so versatile, and because you can change them and add more charms to your liking.
The last piece of bling is in the form of a silver ring with a big white diamond like stone.
(Not a real diamond, I’m afraid. I wish!)

I’m trying to be more creative with my hair nowadays, and today’s look consisted of a curly side pony tail. I don’t know what I would do without my trusted ghd’s ;)

And last but not least – a pair of black leather boots with a medium heel. These are so prett to look at with their buckle details and shiny leather… unfortunately they’re not very comfortable. So I make sure I only wear these on a day when I know I’m not going to walk too much. Silly, I know… But hey – I’m sure all of us girls have got at least one pair of “sit down shoes”.

Review of Younique's amazing 3D fiber mascara

 Talk about Hallelujah moment!
An epiphany in the makeup world. 
A very welcomed saviour to my pathetic eyelashes.

I'm talking about the Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes from Younique.
When this black little box came through the post I didn't think much of it, but after the first time of using it I was speechless!
At £23 you might think it's on the expesive side, but I'll tell you one thing... IT'S WORTH EVERY PENNY! 
Just scroll down to see the fabulous result.

 The Younique 3D lashes kit consists of 2 different mascaras; the first one is a transplanting gel, and the second one is made of pure natural fibers. Along with this, you'll need your normal mascara, and potentially an eyelash comb in case you end up with clumps (which could easily happen on your first few uses).

 The way you use the Younique 3D Fiber mascara is this; Apply your normal mascara as usual, and let it dry slightly. After that, apply a layer of the transplanting gel, immediately followed by the natural fibers. The brush for the fibers look extremely weird as it's just like a ball of fluff, but start by applying this to the very tips of your lashes, and simply experiment your way from there. To seal it all, and make the fibers stick, you need to use the transplanting gel again afterwards. 
And... ta dah!

Fantastic result! Just look and compare my bare lashes with the 3D mascara, as well as my normal mascara next to Younique's mega boosted lashes.
I'm just going to say it again... HALLELUJAH MOMENT! 
I am totally hooked, and now swear by this mascara. If you don't already have this miracle product in your life, I strongly recommend you to invest in it.
