Top ten fashion staples (November edition)

Now I know I said my next post would be my October favourites however my camera is being a right pain and will not let me upload the photos! *gahhh* But since we are now over half way through November I hoped you wouldn't mind! So instead this will be my November fashion staples! I hope you enjoy, and that these gorgeous clothing items will help you find a possible crimbo outfit!
Black satin maxi dress £14.99 H&M
Of course everyone has heard of the LBD well now meet your new best friend the maxi dress! I have actually purchased this one myself recently to wear as my Christmas outfit! Of course black isn't the most festive of colours but I'm going to bling it up with lots of jewellery and bright shoes so I (fingers crossed) look very eye catching ;) Let me know if you would like me to do a Christmas outfit post in the comments below!

Teddy fur pea coat in yellow £79.00 Topshop
Now that the weather outside is getting colder everyone is getting a coat however theres a new style on the block.. the caccon and oyfriend coat. I am personally loving this look, very warm, very cute and very stylish! I especially like this bright yellow one pictured above!

Black bowler hat £7.99 H&M
The classic bowler hat would go perfectly with your new cacoon coat ;) just saying..

Blue Lace Trim Knee High Socks £7.00 Topshop
These socks are too adorable! All through the summer we saw people wearing these socks in the form of ankle socks paired with juju's but now the colder months are here these would be simply perfect with some knock off Dr.Martens,  which leads me to...

Brown Wedge Heel-Boots £34.99 H&M
The Wedge Heel-Boots are the definition of outdoorsy fashion. Who wouldn't love to take a walk in the woods while looking bang on trend?!

A Wear Lace Skater Dress £68.00 Asos
Oh me Oh my! How lovely is this skater dress from Asos?! If you ask me, very. The skater dress is the classic kind of party dress that everyone loves, so why not get your legs out, put on your favourite heels and go a bit crazy this Christmas!

Cooperative Velvet Collar Dress £68.00 Urban Outfitters
Velvet is a bit like Marmite.. you either love it or you hate it, for me its a love situation! This dress shows two of my fashion staples for November, velvet being one of them and the other, peter pan collars! This dress may be on the more expensive side but it has such beautiful detailing so its understandable however if you're like me and prefer a bargain then Primark are actually selling quite a few velvet items at the moment so be sure to snap something up quick!

Tan Handbag £14.99 H&M
Tan is a lovely colour all year round but winter is an especially nice time to have a bag or other piece of clothing in the browny-orange shade. I need a new school bag and think this could be the perfect one! And at £14.99 its not half a bargain!

Cream and White Faux Fur Headband £6.99 New Look
Ooh I do love my ears to be warm! And now because of this you can look good while staying toasty! I would probably get a white or cream one since my hair is dark however most colours would suit any type or colour of hair, so no need to worry if you cant find the right one!

Borg Lined Parka Jacket £95.00 Topshop
Im in the midst of trying to get my dad to buy this lush coat for me! The green parka is a british classic and this one is perfect when it gets nippy outside! The inside has a lovely white borg lining (which can be removed as the weather gets warmer) and the hood is trimmed with white fluffy fur. This is the perfect coat for the perfect winter!

And so yet again we have finished another blog post! I hope you enjoyed this post and if you would like to purchase any of these items then the links are at the bottom as always. So until next time, have a great winter and leave me your comments to brighten my cold day!

Lots of love, Phoebe X

The Disney tag!

Since I really enjoyed writing my last tag post (the makeup tag) I thought it would be fun to write a post about my ultimate, favourite thing... Disney!!! This is actually a very new tag and so far I have only seen 2 or 3 you tubers doing it and no blog posts about it :( But there's a first for everything and this will hopefully be the start of more Disney tags since I am tagging all of you to do it as well! Make sure you leave me a link to yours in the comment box so I can check it out but until then last crack on with the post!

1) A scene in a movie that you wish you could experience?

Oh my.. I think I'm going to go with when Rapunzel and Flynn Rider are in the boat on the lake and all of the lanterns go into the air and the world just seems to stop. I mean that's just the cutest, right?! :3

2) Whats your favourite Disney song?

HAKUNA MATATA! Its just such a beaty happy song.. I just love it.

3) Which film has the best soundtrack?

OK I have 3.. Lion King, The Little Mermaid and Hercules! I actually own the Now that's what I call Disney CD and its just the best (y)

4) When was the first time you went to a Disneyland park?

Its so depressing that I have never been to one :( I desperately want to go to Disney land Florida!! Oh my goshness I just cant wait to finally go!!!


5) If you could choose any character to be your best friend who would you choose?

Probably Tiana from the princess and the frog, she's so sweet and loyal and I think she would be such a nice person to have around. Plus she works hard for what she wants in life and dreams big!

6) Whos your favourite Disney villian?

I'm not sure if they count as villians but its going to have to be the ugly step sisters! They just make the film for me and if you ask anyone what they think of when you say Cinderella they will defiantly say the step sisters!

7) Who are your favourite Disney princess'?

Well when I was younger I was obsessed with Snow White, my mum even painted her on my wall (It took a while but looked amazing!) However since then I started to see more Disney films and so now I think its a tie between Snow White, Belle and Ariel!


8) Name a scene/moment in any Disney movie that never fails to make your cry.

Obviously when Mufasa dies and poor Simba is sat by his dad trying to wake him up, gets me every time :(

9) What is the first Disney Movie you remember seeing?

I think its Snow White?

10) Who would you want as your prince?

Probably cheeky Flynn Rider, since I just love a good adventure! And who wouldn't love to have some crazy memories with there prince?

11) What is your favourite Disney movie?

Oh goodness! There's just so many! I think the Lion King or Tangled. I actually saw The Lion King Musical in the theater in London not too long ago and it was probably one of the best experiences of my life! It was so amazing and I was nearly in tears by the end since it was such a passionate production and undoubtedly I would go and see it again!


And that is the end of another blog post! This was a very fun one to write and I loved just looking at all of these Disney memories! But for now remember "Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age and dreams are forever" - Walt E. Disney

Lots of Love Phoebe X

Would you rather tag.. Makeup edition!

I hope you're all having a lovely half term holiday! Today I have decided to do my first tag post! So before I start I tag all of you reading this to write your own would you rather makeup tag! lets get going :)

Would you rather chop of all your hair or never be able to cut it again?

I love my hair but never being able to cut it again would be a right pain so I think I would chop it all off. Plus if I was to chop it off I could do it to raise money for charity so everyone wins really!

Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?

Since winter is approaching (way too quickly if you ask me) I think I might have to go with the coral cheek, simply because it would give that warm glow and make you look rosy for the winter weather! Be careful not to go too overboard though since you could end up looking like you've got a cold (and lets face it, that's not very attractive!)

If you had £1,000 to spend would you rather buy clothes or makeup?

Cant I have both?! This ones difficult but I'm going to go with clothes purely because I would be able to go into Topshop and buy whatever I fancied! Not only this but makeup always runs out sooner or later, but clothes last you ages and when they start to look a bit run down you can just use the material to make something fabulous!

Would you rather apply eyeliner as lipstick or lipstick as eyeliner?

I would use eyeliner as lipstick! Nowadays you can get so many pretty eyeliner colours so that wouldn't be a problem but can you imagine how sticky and horrible your face would feel if you had lipstick on your eyes?! Ew.

Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?

I hate being cold! Its just awful! So if it meant I could wear my winter clothes in winter then I would defiantly go with option number 1!

Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?

I'm very much someone that loves a bit of colour! And bearing in mind that most brands generally sell more bright nail varnishes then dark, I'm going to say bright nails all year round! Plus if its a really miserable day, who wouldn't be cheered up by some bright yellow nails?!


Would you rather only use one eyeshadow or one lipstick for the rest of your life?

I'm not big on eye shadows to be honest and I could probably live without them but if I couldn't have  my lipsticks I would just find myself crying all the time! So in case you havent guessed I would rather have one eyeshadow!

Would you rather only wear your hair in a pony tail or messy bun?

As some of you may know from my 25 things about me post, I just love a high pony tail! Of course I love messy buns too but there's so much more you can do with a ponytail (high, low, side..) hence me choosing pony tail.

Would you rather never be able to paint your nails or never wear lip gloss?

I'm not a fan of lip gloss since I don't like the texture (far too sticky for me) however I do bite my nails so I rarely paint them anyway, but I'm trying to stop that habit, so I will say never wear lip gloss again!

Would you rather shave all your eyebrows off and have none at all or sharpie them in every day?

Sharpie them in! Seriously guys just go to Google and type in celebrities with no eyebrows (it's scary but you'll understand why I chose sharpie!)

Would you rather live without makeup or nail varnish?

I NEED MY MAKEUP!!! I could cope with no nail varnish so definatley makeup all the way!

Would you rather shop at drugstores for ever or have one trip to a high end makeup store every year?

I've actually just made this last question up since I think it would be interesting to see what people say. I personally would go for shopping at drugstores for the rest of my life since they have a wider range of choice and its cheaper! Plus imagine only being able to buy make up once a year *shudders*

So that is the end of my would you rather makeup tag! I hope you all enjoyed reading it and that you all had a great halloween last night! My October favourites will be up shortly so hold on for that! But until then remember..  Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.

Lots of love, Phoebe X
