My favourite colour: Ox Blood

Oxblood!

ox blood


It's the name of any reddish-brown colour or just the fashion industry's fancy name for burgundy. I find it to be a great colour for autumn and winter and i would say it's the new 'Black' this season. Here's a few of my favourite oxblood picks for the holiday season:

From Asos:

My Oxblood nails from Barry M. 



(please excuse the messiness)
 
Magnetic Burgundy is a deep metallic Red shade that has a slight brown undertone. It is a very pretty shade and

I found the polish to apply well and dry quickly. This is the first time i have used this product and have only just found out that the nail varnish is literally magnetic. I feel really silly. Apparently the cap has a magnet inside which you glide over your nails to create a diagonal straight line pattern. So will try this and replace the pictures to show you.
 

 
 
 

 
 
These Barry M nail varnish are defiantly the best ones Ive tried yet. They are around £4.99 and are available from superdrug and boots.
Have you tried them? What do you think?

Get the look: 1940s war time girl



I’ve been incredibly infatuated with 1940s fashion since seeing the film 'A league of their own' and 'Pearl Harbour'. I love the glamour, the tailored outfits, cute heels, red lipstick  and perfect locks.


The Fashion trends from the 1930s to the end of 1945 were mainly tailoring with attention to detail at the shoulder, with butterfly sleeves and banjo sleeves, and exaggerated shoulder pads for both men and women. The period also saw the first widespread use of man-made fibres, especially Rayon for dresses and viscose for linings and lingerie, and synthetic nylon stockings. These trends started off in the U.S.A and were brought over to Britain and Europe through trendsetters such as Edward VIII's companion Wallis Simpson and such Hollywood movie stars as Fred Astaire, Carole Lombard and Joan Crawford.
