Matte Grey

Matte Grey

Another day, more grey! Apart from this time on my nails...well, and my jumper is grey! I'm not sure that I will ever get bored of wearing this colour. In my opinion, nothing beats a pair of skinny jeans and a slouchy grey jumper.

The nail polish that I am wearing is from Essie, obviously! It is the shade Urban Jungle which is a beautiful off-white beige grey. Like I mentioned in my April Favourites I am really loving wearing nude nail polishes at the moment. They look so sophisticated and perfectly complement every outfit as well as both gold and silver jewellery.

I'm also wearing this gorgeous matte top coat from Accessorize, that my sister got me. I used to have another matte top coat a couple of years ago when it was a huge trend, but these nail polishes seem to go gloopey and horrible a lot quicker. I haven't tried any other nail polishes from Accessorize before but I really love the beautiful rose gold packaging. The nail polish brush is pretty thick so the top coat is easy to apply, and I was really impressed by how quickly it dried. I tend to find that using a matte top coat helps to fuse all the layers of nail polish together and generally helps my nail polish to last a few extra days too.

Hope you enjoyed this little post. I feel like I haven't spoken about nail polishes on my blog for ages, as recently I have been trying to strengthen and grow my nails and tend to only wear Essie Grow Stronger base coat. But I do have another nail polish related post planned for very soon as well.

Grey Scale

Grey Scale

I think if I could only wear one colour for the rest of my life it would have to be grey. And then you could have a really light grey that was almost white and a dark charcoal grey that was almost black. And with monochrome I am pretty much sorted! 

 

Anyway, just a little outfit post wearing one of my favourite colours. I think grey is such a versatile colour that suits pretty much every skintone. 

 

Here I am wearing my grey breton stripe top from Joules. I've been wearing this loads recently as it is a great layering piece in the colder weather. This grey cardigan from Primark was such a bargain at about £8 and another perfect pieces for layering. It has 3/4 sleeves and a slightly longer length which I find really flattering. And I love how you can see the stripe top sleeves underneath. 

 

To complete this look and arm myself against the also grey weather I am wearing my grey bobble hat. I think this style looks so cute but is also really practical and great for hiding a bad hair day!

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. Mine actually got off to a bit of a rubbish start. My phone was in the back pocket of my jeans and I went to go to the toilet...You can probably guess what happened next but lets just say my poor phone is no longer! The good news is it has reminded me why I pay for insurance every month! Hopefully it will be sorted soon but for now I am ashamed to say that it has been a day and I am already struggling being phoneless!

New Favourite Jumper

New Favourite Jumper

I thought that it was about time that I shared with you the jumper that I have basically been living in for the last week. I spotted it last weekend and immediately fell in love. It is the perfect combination of everything I love. A soft slouchy jumper, pale grey, a crew neckline, and navy and white stripes. 

I am really loving H&M right now, they have some really lovely pieces that look really expensive. I am also all about a more minimal style of dressing at the moment. So this jumper with this simple layered gold necklace also from H&M and some skinny jeans has become my everyday uniform. 

Hope you liked this little post. Let me know what you think of this more minimal style. Speak soon xx

Essie Maximillian Strasse Her

I have another Essie nail polish to share with you! I know, I am basically addicted to Essie, but this one was a late birthday present. Promise! 

The nail polish is called Maximillian Strasse Her, and I'm not gonna lie to you and pretend that I have any idea what that is meant to mean. But the shade is very pretty! I would definitely describe it as a grey shade but it has a a slight bluey green tint to it, like a little bit of teal.

Like all Essie nail polishes this is just beautiful to apply and you can actually get away with just one coat of this one. It's very similar to a shade that I already have called Parka Perfect but lighter and without any glitter. I think this is a great shade for the transition into Autumn as it is light, but not bright and looks very classy. Also you can match your grey nails with the weather which is what I am doing right now!

I got this Essie polish as a birthday present from the people I work with at Joules, how sweet are they?! They also got me this really cute card that they had all signed! I am really lucky to work with such lovely people.
