Vintage Tartan Skirt | OOTD

It was super windy and cold out but I still decided to wear a skirt, which is not something I'd normally do, like ever. There's something about oversized / normal sized jumpers paired with a skirt which is just so wintery and christmassy and I'm ready to embrace the christmas spirit. 

I actually robbed this skirt straight out of my mother's wardrobe, okay well she gave it to me after asking. She used to wear it when she was my age, which is crazy to think that it's older than me and also that it fits me so well. I'd been looking for a tartan skirt like this one for ages and I think it's so cute and it definitely reminds me of something I should be wearing on christmas day. I paired it with a plain black Topshop jumper to keep warm and make the skirt stand out a bit more, This has made me want more skirts that I can wear in the winter time, I'm now on the hunt for a nice a-line skirt that I can wear during the cold months.

 Anyone else have vintage clothes like this?

Topshop Lipsticks | Tempation & Sweet Orchid

I'd been eyeing up all the lipsticks in Topshop for sometime now and since it was my birthday, one of my best friends got me some. I pretty much had the colours I wanted chosen so it made the birthday shopping a hell of a lot easier for her. 

 

 The colours I chose were, Sweet Orchid and Temptation (In the order they are above.) Sweet Orchid is the prettiest pale purple colour I've ever seen on a lipstick.  It's probably a colour that won't get much wear but I really liked it. When it's on your lips it doesn't look purple, it becomes a quite pale pink with slight purple undertones. It's kinda vibrant and bright but still quite a neutral colour despite it looking quite hard to wear in the pictures. Although admittedly darker lipsticks suit me more. 

        

The second lipstick, Temptation, is a typical lipstick colour for me. It's a dark red colour and also comes out lighter when it's put on just like Orchid. It's not as dark as I thought it would be but it's still such a pretty shade. It's perfect for Autumn.

The swatches above show the two lipsticks side by side. The texture of the lipstick makes it super easy to apply. It's a really creamy consistency that is also a bad thing because I've already accidentally melted one a little bit by accident, safe to say I was not happy. Other than that they stay on well and Topshop have the pretiest choice of lipsticks to chose from. I especially like the boxes they come in, it makes them really easy to store and see which one is which. 

Anyone else enjoy Topshop lipsticks? I'd love to hear which are your favourites!
