The Most Gorgeous Bags Ever- Aaona Review

London's finally becoming a little bit cooler so it's time for a bit of autumn shopping again. Today, I want to talk about bags and accessories, and how you can spice up your outfits with them. I recently got two lovely bags from Aaona, a lovely shop based in the UK which sells gorgeous clothing, bags and accessories.

A bit about the brand- home to ethnic and boldly printed clothing and accessories, Aaona is a shop that sells an exciting and lovely range of items for women. Their products are unique, colorful, fun and interesting, and they're carefully made using the best craftsmen and skill. The products are fun and super easy to style, so I'm really excited to share with you how I styled my two bags.

1) Iyaji printed bucket bag in Black- this lovely bag is made from a lovely smooth leather outer, with a large spacious inner compartment to store all your items. This bag is really well-designed with a black and colorful pattern on the outside, which reminds me of those beautiful ethnic bags you see in the high street. I love the colors and design of the bag, which fits with pretty much any outfit in my wardrobe.

The quality and feel of the bag is fantastic. Aaona makes their items with the highest quality of craftsmanship and this bag is of no exception. The bag is made with a lovely smooth leather, and lined with a suede inner. It has two inner compartments and a lovely round shape which means that it can carry a lot of items, including a little pair of ballet shoes and your cardigan if you wish. This bag is super stable, sturdy and light! I paired it with my winter coat and a skirt for a more sophisticated look.

2) Iyaji printed bucket bag in Blue- this bag is the same as the black bag that I showed you before. However, it features a completely different and more colorful design. The lovely blue ethnic pattern is gorgeous, bright and fabulous, pairing well with bright outfits as well as darker, more muted tones. I particularly love the light blue exterior as it's unique and stands out from the crowd.

I chose to pair this bag with my grey t-shirt and black leggings, which creates a simple and chic look. I love how this bag spices up my otherwise dull outfit. It's extremely light and versatile, and goes well with pretty much anything!

Overall, I'm really happy with my two lovely bags from Aaona. Their quality, design and make are fantastic, and I'd definitely recommend these little, chic bags!

My Dream Coats For Autumn

It's nearly autumn and that only means one thing- it's time to take out those warmer, thicker coats! It's always great to be able to transition into a new season knowing that you can look stylish, comfortable and chic, and this time I want to talk about some of my dream coats for this year's autumn. I've picked a selection of coats for you because I think they're definitely trending in the social media world right now, and these coats are guaranteed to make you stand out in the crowd. 

The first type of coat that I've been obsessed with is this season’s popular teddy jackets- I found some lovely ones from Lily Lulu Fashion, a lovely site that sells a variety of affordable and beautiful teddy coats for all shapes and sizes. Teddy coats are super comfortable as they're usually made from a soft outer exterior that feels like you're hugging a teddy bear. When I put these lovely jackets on, I feel like a soft furry puppy! I love the selection on Lily Lulu as they have a huge range of colors and styles for everyone. 

 

The second type of coat that I have been into are these warm furry faux fur jackets, which are totally environmentally friendly and beautiful at the same time. Real fur coats are usually expensive and hard to care for, but these faux fur coats from Lily Lulu are to die for as they're easy to wash, dry and requires virtually no maintenance at all.

Faux fur coats are also very elegant for autumn and the cooler months, as they exude a sophisticated and vibrant feel. These coats go well with dresses, jeans and pretty much anything you can think of. I love the designs of the coats below as they go well with anything, and I can even wear them to work on those extra cold days! 

  

My last type of dream coat for this season is the always fashionable puffer jacket- these versatile pieces are suitable for girls who are a bit more afraid of the cold. I'm really love puffer jackets as they're really warm and cozy to wear, and they look great with knee high boots and a pair of jeans. They'd be suitable for cooler climates or for those snow days, and I particularly love ones with the fur. The best thing about puffer jackets are that they look effortlessly chic and practical, so you'll look comfortable, cozy and stylish at the same time! 

Overall, I'm in love with these styles of coats as they would make anyone's wardrobe more complete. With the cooler months coming ahead, we all need some things to spice up your closet, so I'd definitely recommend checking out Lily Lulu Fashion for more selection of awesome clothing! 

Falsies Heaven- Femmeluxefinery Review

I'm obsessed with falsies- they make your eyes bigger, better and brighter. What's not to love when wearing things that makes you look so much better without artificial chemicals, surgery or makeup? I think falsies enhances every look and they're amazing for girls with smaller eyes like me. 

I got some from Femmeluxefinery, one of my favourite shops ever. The first pair that I got was this gorgeous 3D Mink Strip Lashes Dubai, which was perfect for my trip to Ibiza lately.  It made my eyes look large and doll-like, and I got a lot of compliments for it! 

The 3D Mink Strip Lashes #Dubai are long and wispy to create a natural everyday look. These high-quality lashes are made with thin, wispy lash fibres. This light weight material makes them comfortable and easy to wear all day long. They have a thick strip so they are super easy to apply and remove. Best of all they're totally reusable so they're environmentally friendly, gorgeous and easy to remove. 

I got these awesome pairs of 3D Mink Strip Lashes New York from Femmeluxefinery recently and they're absolutely amazing! They look great on my lashes and makes my eyes pop out, increasing it's size. I took a few selfies for you to see. The quality of these stunning lashes are amazing for the price, and they're made from real mink hair. 

I also got the 3D Mink Strip Lashes Paris for comparison and they're a bit thinner, so I didn't really use them. I'll save them up for a party later on in the year! 

Hope you like my review! 

Balayage Refresh- Live True London Review

Hey everyone! As you all know, I previously got my hair dyed in Live True London in Clapham, a famous hair salon in London that offers a variety of affordable, awesome hair services. I chose them because I've heard of them before, and they have one of the best reputations in London. I got my hair done a few months ago and it grew out a lot, so I went back and did a little balayage refresh.

Now, why do I need to refresh my balayage? For one, it grows out pretty fast as the hair on top of your head isn't coloured as much. For me, I got a caramel and brown ombre dye, which blended in well with my black hair. However, it grew out within around 4 months and now the top of my head has completely turned black again! It's not a great look, so stylists usually recommend people get it refreshed every 3-5 months.

I want to talk about my experience doing a balayage refresh plus an olaplex treatment at their beautiful salon, as well as show you some photos of my experience. Take a look below!

My experience at the salon was simply amazing. Anabel, my stylist said that she wanted to give me a more natural and darker tone because my original balayage was too brassy. It was getting too orange and fading away, and she said she would refresh the roots higher up than last time. I really love the fact that she took care to assess my hair and give me what I want.

I sat through the foil highlights which were hand-painted on by the stylist. This process took the longest time, as it's quite time consuming and detailed. The reason Balayage is so worth it is because of the natural result and this customized, painted technique. This took up a long time, and my hair was treated with a darker toner and an olaplex treatment which softens and heals the broken bonds in the hair.

After 3 hours of treatment and colouring, I'm sure you're dying to see the results!

In terms of the overall result, I've never been happier with Live True London's services than now as my hair looks better than ever. The roots have completely been touched up and dyed, and I no longer have that "carrot top" effect on my roots. I love the colouring and toner too, as the brown highlights blend seamlessly into my hair like a painted canvas. I adore the balayage effect that the salon helped me create and I'm sure I'll love this style for years to come.

In terms of the service, Annabel, the stylist that I had was professional, caring and interesting to talk to. She kept me entertained throughout the hours that I spent in the salon, as well as offered me something to drink. The salon itself is extremely comfortable to sit in, and there was a great mix of people to talk to when you're doing your treatment. I love how efficient, professional and well-run Annabel and Live True London was.

As for the look, the balayage that I got received so many compliments that I lost count. My friends, family and boyfriend all said that they loved my look, and I even got asked by strangers where I did my hair! I absolutely adore my new colour and it has really changed my look from an outgrown "black" to a beautiful blend of browns and dark coffees. It also looks really good on black clothing, and gives off a relaxed, casual vibe. I think it's a fantastic hair colour and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to transition from virgin hair to coloured hair, or for someone who wants something a bit more unique than normal hair dyes.

All in all, I'm extremely happy with my balayage from Live True London as it was done professionally, beautifully and with the utmost care and skill. The experience that I had from this salon was excellent and I would recommend them to anyone. I had such a lovely time at Live True London in Clapham, and they always make me look like a million dollars. I hope you can check out Live True London and try them out if you need a haircut or colouring, and check out their website for more information!

What the 10-step Korean Skincare Routine Can Do for You

Your skincare items are not chosen at random. They may have started that way, but you’ve edited and revised your routine to get rid of items that were just not working. In the interim, there might be products you’re not sure are working, but you’re also not sure they’re not. And so, you keep them in your routine just in case. 

Anyone who wants to improve their appearance will want to use products that work for their skin type. Your 10-step Korean skincare routine is effective if they do the following: 

Cleansing 

The first part of your skincare routine is cleansing. Here, the 10-step skincare will face its first review. Cosmetic products online are sold by the hundreds, making it hard for you to figure out which one works and which doesn’t. Effective products will remove dirt and makeup residue from your skin, and one way to check it is through double-cleansing. First, an oil-based cleanser will remove most of the dirt and makeup. Follow it up with a water-based cleanser, which should not have anything more to remove if your first cleanser did its job well. When you get to toning, you should not see much dirt on your cotton pad. 

Moisturizing 

Reviewing moisturizers is tricky because most beauty products promise to hydrate and moisturize the skin. An effective moisturizer will get the job done and leave your skin visibly hydrated. This should also work alongside your face mask, which can further hydrate the skin. Now, if you’re using tinted moisturizers, you might be using them as a light foundation for the skin as well. Here, your face will show the results subtly so look at blemishes you’ve always had problems with and use them as an indicator of the product’s success. 

Brightening 

Because a lot of beauty products promise to benefit your skin in several ways, you can look beyond moisturizing and cleansing in gaging their effectiveness. CC creams and face masks may also have brightening properties, which target dark spots and under-eye bags. However, if you follow a 10-step skincare routine religiously and all products are working as intended, your face can look brighter even with no products claiming to target this particular problem. The truth is, they nourish and hydrate your skin, help in cell turnover, and improve cell regeneration. All of these can help the skin look younger and, therefore, brighter. 

Clarifying 

With every new product, look at how your skin reacts. Chances are, if your skin is not compatible with the product, you’ll be dealing with breakouts. This is one reason to not use several new products at the same time and to never take a chance on new products when you’re traveling. If you have established a skincare routine that works for your skin from start to finish, you’ll have clearer and blemish-free skin. On the other hand, one product may cause breakouts and clog pores if they are not doing their job well. 

You want your skin looking its best, so only use products that work for your particular skin type. And if one product doesn’t work, don’t hesitate to replace it to get the results you want. 

I'm A Sassy Girl- Julie May Lingerie Review

Recently, my style has changed from "innocent girl next door" to "sophisticated 25-year old woman". This is not just a physical change, but also a mental one as I feel myself getting older, more confident and more mature. I want to introduce you to a lovely British-made lingerie atelier called Julie May Lingerie, which makes fun, comfortable and luxurious lingerie for the modern woman. They have some of the most gorgeous lingerie that I've ever seen, and I'm so excited to share with you some of the new things that I got from them.

A bit about the brand- Julie May designs beautiful and functional bras and underwear, and offers women lingerie that makes you feel liberated and relaxed in order to fully enjoy each day. The brand has their own designs and the items are all extremely well-made and high quality. The brand uses the best quality cotton and silk to ensure that all their garments are comfortable, natural and washable, and they've recently launched a new collection which is stunning. 

Take a look at the lingerie set below! 

I'm going to talk about my new items from the brand's Leopard collection. This sassy collection is wild, bold and very feminine with a lot of energy. The first thing that I tried on was this lovely Cotton and Silk Longline Balconette Bra, which is lovely and beautiful to wear on its own or inside your shirts. What I love about this bra was that it's quite supportive as it covers much of your chest, and it's also sturdy and stable on your body. The straps don't budge when you wear it, and I'm just obsessed with the quality of this bra.

The second piece that I love is this Cotton and Silk Brief- this pair of underwear stuns as it's extremely bold and elegant, and a bit sexy to wear. It makes me feel energetic and empowered when I put on these briefs and they're so well made that I think they'll last for years to come. The underwear fits me really well and I got a size Medium. It's made with a silk inner crotch which means your body comes into contact with something quite natural, and I absolutely love this piece.

Lastly, I got this Cotton and Silk Cami Slip Shaping Dress, which was lovely to wear over the balconette bra. This cami dress is shaping, gorgeous and feels lovely on. It doesn't cause rubbing or itching to the skin, and it has an elegant lace detail in the front. I love how it shapes your body without trying too hard, and you can wear this under a sexy dress or a formal outfit to lighten things up! 

Overall, I'm very impressed with Julie May's quality and new collection. They're simply stunning and I'm so happy to have shared my experience wearing their lingerie with you.

How I Maintain My Nails

Hey girls! I've recently been into nails and manicures, so I want to share with you two of my new favourite products. They're available online and I am so excited to write this post detailing how I use these products, how I maintain my nails and what I recently experienced with these lovely new items. 

The first item that I got is this Sensationail express gel manicure kit from Sensationail, one of the most famous nail product brands that is in the UK. This starter kit is easy to use, cute and so convenient. You simply paint your nails and put it under the LED lamp, and they last for up to 10 days! 

SensatioNail Express Gel is a revolutionary, all-in-one gel formula. Brush on, cure, and voila, done in as little as 5 minutes. The one step application is chip resistant and provides up to 10 days of vibrant gel colour and shine. No top coat or base coat is needed, just cure for 30 seconds and go. Removal is fast and easy, and I simply love using their products. 

I also got these lovely Rubis Nail Scissors which I've used to trim my nails before a manicure. It helps a lot that the ends are curved, and the scissors works wonders on my thick, stubborn nails. The scissors are handmade and crafter especially to trim nails, and they're SO sharp and aesthetic. I have never had more trimmed nails in my life!

Overall, I love these products and they've made my nails so much better than before. The nail trimmer prepared my nails well for the manicure that I got from my new kit, and they'd make great presents for girlfriends who love nails and beauty!

Africanmall Wishlist

Africanmall recently had loads of new cute dresses on their site. I think it's because it's summer! I've always wanted to follow the latest dress trends on Instagram- you know where the girls wear lovely floral dresses and sexy summer dresses? Owing to my shopping addiction, I recently bought some new tops from one of my most-stalked online shops. I heard about their shop ages ago from my friends, and they said that they had cheap but cute dresses which were quite good. Their shop is pretty famous, since they've been around for a long time.

I can't stop looking at their sexy rompers and dresses. They're super cute and lovely and best of all they're so cheap! Every one of them are around $20 and under, which means that it's so affordable for everyone. They also have different dresses for everyone!

They're probably one of the most affordable clothing stores I've seen so far. Although I haven't gotten anything off there yet, I might just try it after my holiday abroad. I've beens so relaxed- I just had 2 months of holiday and I'm SO ready to try new dresses! 

Their brand has the cutest selection of crop top items that I've seen in a while. I've been a frequent shopper at their site, and it's because they're cheap, fashionable and have lots of styles that are constantly updated. In fact, they're updated daily and it's always a pleasure browsing their Lace blouse and cute items in the other section.They also have a fantastic range of two piece swimsuits, party dresses, suitable for birthdays and formal occasions like prom, weddings or cocktail parties at the bar.

All I want for Christmas is… Jumpsuits and rompers! They sell a more high-end sort of clothing (including loads of jumpsuit styles) which gives off a more sophisticated and elegant look. They're definitely not the cute sort of shop, which means that I will definitely be buying from them soon since I'm in need of more clothes. In fact, this brand has a lot of cute rompers and playsuits, which means that I've been recently browsing on their site A LOT.

Jumpsuits are a versatile style because they're the easiest way to look stylish without any thinking. Let's face it, we all want to look stylish, and sometimes pairing items in your closet is just…hard. I'm lazy to pair up outfits sometimes. With a jumpsuit (usually longer on the sleeves or the pants) or a playsuit (usually short-sleeved) it's like you can be effortlessly chic in an instant. Your whole outfit is already put together since they're already matching.

The only thing bad about jumpsuits is the fact that taking them off is a hassel- if I had to go to the toilet I'd have to take everything off! But regardless, I think it's worth the trouble, especially if you have a formal event to go to and want to try a jumpsuit for a change instead of dresses.

Hope you like my wish list! Let me know what you think and don't forget to check them out if you want. They're so affordable! 

Hair Wigs from Beautyforever

Recently I got my long, waist-length hair trimmed so that it was shorter, more tidy and manageable. I did it with the help of a mirror and a helpful mother at home, so it didn't cost me an expensive salon trip. My new hair style is the straight-cut-across type, nothing fancy, but still easier to manage than any other hairstyles I have had before! 

Beautyforever wigs for black women is different from other types of hair. Brazilian hair is much smoother than regular hair extensions or Indian hair extensions. The texture is more harder so it holds the shape of your style much better than the other types of extensions. On the other hand, other types of hair such as Peruvian Hair is thicker in texture and feels very different than Brazilian hair. 

It blends well with normal African-American relaxed hair textures and Caucasian hair textures. This natural texture will become more curly when in water and washed, which is good for you if you want it curly and long.  You should check out Besthairbuy human hair extensions!

For girls with these problems or thinning hair, clip in hair extensions such as ones found online really help! What could be better than to have some human-hair wigs, which look totally natural and gorgeous? I love their clip in hair clips and they are so gorgeous. They even have Weave hairstyles which are thick and wavy. Closure are always the best type of wig to have and they are so nice and great.

I just wore hair extensions today and felt great. They are great because wigs are perfect for those who have no hair left and want to get an entirely new head of hair. Wigs are so versatile - they can be worn outside, inside and also be changed. The best type of wig is wholesale real human hair, because it feels and looks most natural.

Their shop is a great shop that sells a variety of wigs they have very natural hair extensions for anyone who wants longer tresses, including real human hair. Ted Hair is a premier hair trading and manufacturer, meanwhile your reliable partner in growing your beauty business. They supply top quality hair products at the best price with extraordinary customer service.

They also provide premium hair extensions to wholesalers, distributors, retailers, beauty or hair salons, online stores and hair stylists around the world. Ted Hair supplies different types of hair- virgin Brazilian hair, Peruvian hair, Malaysian hair, Indian hair, closures, colored remy hair and more.

They even have real human hair wigs and different types of hair for everyone's tastes, so it's a great site and they can sell everything from blonde hair to black hair, to brown hair. I recently have a friend who got hair extensions and they are not very natural looking, but the hair from Tedhair seems really natural.

Cute wigs are great because wigs are perfect for those who have no hair left and want to get an entirely new head of hair. Wigs are so versatile - they can be worn outside, inside and also be changed. The best type of wig is wholesale real human hair, because it feels and looks most natural.

Wigs are also good because it's easy to wear- all you have to do is clip the hair into your scalp and it stays there for the whole day. Their quality is also good- the hairs of the highest quality are sourced from different areas. Natural hair is usually shaved from women’s head and tied as a single piece in different lengths. Hairs in different lengths and sizes are assorted, segregated and sold at different prices. The brand's material is sourced mostly from Indian temples, China countryside and Southeast countries.

They also sell some good other items and this means you can truly customise your look. This means that its easy to sell wholesale or anything from them.

What's On My Summer Feet- Justfashionnow Haul + Review

Hi guy! I recently got some items from Justfashionnow, a shop that I've never heard of but discovered randomly online. They sell lots of women's fashion from China, and they're quite cheap and affordable. Justfashionnow sells clothing that are based in Asia, and their styles are all Asian-inspired, much like the other shops online. Except one thing - they're so much more cheaper than other sites!

Being curious, I decided to try it out and got 2 lovely items. I'll talk about them briefly below.

The first thing that I got was this pair of Ladies Buckle nude beige sandals. This had a square toe and a slight platform heel. I think this pair of shoes is also fantastic and feels comfortable, though not as comfortable as the other pair that I got. I think I should not have gotten wedges~ But this design is nicer and the leather looks more beautiful, and I love the colour too! The size is great too, and I got a US 8 which fits my feet well. Overall, a super affordable buy.

I think this pair of sandals are my favourite, as they fit me perfectly and they feel pretty well made. The straps are sturdy and well-made, and they look amazing on my feet! Simple and stylish, I have to say! Also, the shoes pair well with my skirt and jeans, and looks wonderful on. I'd give this pair of shoes a 10/10 for their price and style.
