Masquerade Horror

Hi guys, 

Better late than never for this halloween post...oops! Again I think I might be the worlds worst blogger ever ever ever! But anyhoo..I was challenged by Fairmont Hotels - West Coast to come up with a halloween costume that was inspired by their gorgeous hotel! 

So myself and my cousin Erin came up with the concept 'Masquerade Horror', after looking at the gorgeous ballroom within the hotel we thought a gruesome take on the glamorous masquerade ball would be a perfect fit! 

This is the look we came up with! I cant believe how well the make up turned out, it is so super scary! I would pair this make up with either a simple black dress, or what I did was an off the shoulder top to highlight the 'bruising' on my neck and jeans with 'killer' red heels! 

Thanks so much to the Fairmont for challenging me and I super enjoyed coming up with this look.

Lots of Love

Style Addict in NYC

Hello my lovely people! I again begin my blog post with an apology and a promise to blog more...oops :(. Well in May...yes May and this is the blog just going up now...(such a bad blogger!) I had the amazing opportunity to go to New York with my university for five days and we shopped till we dropped did lots of tourist-y things and ate millions of yummy food! 

So this is me finally putting together a little outfit blog...and what we got up to in NYC. 

On our first proper day, we shopped and shopped and shopped and shopped! I have genuinely never ever been to as many shops as I did, and I have one word Sephora! It genuinely is heaven..I bought lots of goodies that I have been using to the death recently. Also as you can see from the picture I got to go to Tiffany's! I have never seen so many beautifully sparkly things in my life, I never wanted to leave! 

What I'm wearing: 

Hat - H&M

Dress - Miss Guided 

Waistcoat - H&M 

Sandals - Topshop

Watch - Olivia Burton 

Necklace - Topshop 

Earrings - Tiffany & Co 

After a wonderful day of shopping we went up the Empire State Building...which was breathtaking!! I got a little more dressed up as we were going for dinner after...popped on a little Chanel lipstick and pinned my hair up, heres a classic I'm wearing red (Chanel) lipstick pout pic. 

And here is some beeeaaautiful pics from the top of the Empire State building. 

It was awfully windy...but I still have it 100% NYC realness. Obvs! 

Daaaay Two! We started the day with the Sex in the City tour which was aaamazing...actually we started the day with these pancakes which I'm still thinking about. NYC = the best city for pancakes. 

I seriously recommend if you are a Sex in the City fan you go on this tour if you are in New York it was great we saw so many amazing places, got cupcakes and Cosmos in Steve Bar (Scotts? I think thats what its called). 

What I'm wearing:

Top and Skirt - H&M Trend

Necklace - H&M

Shoes - Topshop 

On the day the best ever thing happened...we had a carriage ride around central park!! It is so beautiful.. 

My sunglasses are from Topshop! I love the shape of these I feel they real complement my face shape..haha! 

Day Three... 

Tbh I didn't even get a proper picture of my outfit which was soooo annoying because i loved it! But here is a picture of me having a blast on a boat on the Hudson River! Also my sunglasses where an NYC Topshop purchase - they are Quay Australia and they are beautiful! 

What I'm wearing:

Top - River Island 

Culottes - H&M Trend

Shoes - Topshop 

So glad I finally got round to writing this blog because on a Saturday night all I want to do is sit and think about how amazing NYC is and plan when I am going back! 

Lots of love

OOTD Yellow Coat Lovin'

Hey guys! This is kinda my first ever pose-y "what I wore today" blog post which is ridiculous since I have had my blog for like two years!! So yeh, since its been so god dahm lovely in Glasgow recently I really couldn't help myself but to wear this beauty of a yellow mac from boohoo.com.

This look was for work! (one of the few times I actually made an effort). I paired my coat with a my blue mom jeans from H&M, my 'creeper style' platform shoes from...International...if anyone actually remembers that shop!! My check boxy shirt from Topshop, which i bought like last year in the sale and my little leather backpack also from Topshop! Ive been wanting a pair of mom jeans for a long time now and finally bought them the other day and I don't think I have had them off, Ive been wearing them with crop tops, shirts, jumpers..and they are so mega comfy. 

I actually really enjoy documenting my outfit choices and if my sister continues to take the photos for me I will be more than happy to keep it up! Also I have started posting my looks onto lookbook.nu as well so if you have it you could follow me on that too! My username is : Danielle G. (i think...still trying to work it haha)

CocoWhite Teeth Whitening Review

Hey guys! Not blogged in a good while :( sadly super busy with work and uni and kinda struggling with what to write about! But I really really enjoy reading reviews of products (especially teeth whitening).

So I thought I'd let you guys know how I got on with the two week course of Coco White mint teeth whitening. Since so many people have asked me to let them know how I get on with it! 

Day one - I found it really difficult to swirl it for the whole 15 minutes thats recommend so I only got to 10, but apparently not bad for the first time! I read up a good bit about it before buying it and its recommended to do it before bed and before you brush your teeth at night (also some bloggers have been gargling salt water straight after the oil pulling and then brushing but I haven't done that)

Day two - Was a little more prepared for this one, I let the oil melt (warmed the sachets in my hand) and poured it into a shot glass instead of taking it right from the packet because I spilled it all over my face yesterday and the greasy oily texture isn't nice! Managed to get to 14 minutes woo hoo! 

Day three - Super easy this time, used the shot glass and spat it into a separate cup as I just found out you shouldn't spit it down the sink because it can cause blockages OOPS! Also as I am super impatient I bought teeth whitening toothpaste too...to try and speed the process along a little! But going good so far. Haven't seen much change yet though just gotta keep going!

Day four, five, six, seven... 

Now that Im half way through the course I really thought i would see some sort of change by now but I really don't feel like I have, apart from maybe my front two teeth but I hardly want them to stick out anymore than they already do!! 

Now that I only have about two days left of the course I really thought by now I would have seen a dramatic change, but to be honest I am pretty under welled by the whole product. After seeing the before and after picture I can see a tiny tiny tiny change in colouring but nothing as substantial as I was promised. 

(sorry for the horrid picture of my squint teeth!) 

I think that may be a reason why some teeth where a little bit better than others because mine are uneven, so maybe if someone else was to try it that has straight teeth it might work out better for them! But although over all this isn't a great review I have seen it on other people and it has worked really well, I guess the product just isn't for everyone, and it does take a lot of effort (especially near the end when I have a cold and couldn't breath out of my nose properly!!) remembering to do it every night before brushing your teeth etc...

Hope this as helped a little if you where thinking about buying Cocowhite, also they are so quick for delivering and very fast at replying to queries so if you are interested in purchasing the 14 day pack you have to go on the website at 8pm every night to purchase it because demand for it is so high! http://www.cocowhite.com

Fresh Claws // Elegant Touch Push On Nails

Hello Everyone! Thought since I had a little free time today that I'd have a go at the Elegant Touch nails I was given for Christmas. These particular ones are from Boots (about £7.99, I think) and I have a little obsession with 'stick on nails' as they don't damage your natural nails as much as acrylics and you are able to change then more often, which for me is great cause I can never make up my mind when it comes to nail size, colour and shape! Also I bite my nails :( I know its a horrible habit but having stick on nails actually stops me from biting my natural nails and allows them to grow for a little bit too! 

As for the Elegant Touch nails instead of using nail glue, which can be super messy and slightly damaging to the nails underneath, they came will like adhesive tabs that you stick onto your real nails then place the fake nail on top! Easy Peasy! 

I think they look really fab, I'm in love with matte nails but can never get the right look with the nail polish, also I feel the ombre is really different then just one plain colour all over. As for the length of the nails I felt they where just a little too long but thankfully they has a file in the pack so I was able to file them down to a more manageable length. 

Another reason why I'm in love with these nails is that they match perfectly with my Illamasqua Lipstick Rouge à lèvres in Shard. Heavenly. 

Lots of Love

UPDATE: As some of you guys might have saw on my Instagram ALL the nails fell off about an hour after writing this blog :( But I have just glued them back on using Elegant Tough Nail Glue from another nail set and filed them all down again with a little Topshop nail file (as seen below) and they look great! 

TAADAAA!
