Starting with my base and favourite foundation for a dewy glow and this is the Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation (£8.99). I've just repurchased this, and have gone a shade down for the winter as I found my current shade was a little too warm/yellow toned for my liking. I love this foundation as it gives the skin a dewy radiant glow that you often lack naturally in the winter and the coverage is great for everyday use.  

Brows next, and for me winter is all about a strong brow so i've been loving the Benefit Gimme Brow (£17.50) in order to set my brows in place, whilst also adding some pigmentation into the more sparse areas. I usually use this alongside a brow powder, but it is great for those days where you're in a rush as it acts as two products in one. As for cheeks, a new favourite of mine is the new Makeup Revolution The One Blush Stick* (£5). These are cream blushers, that can also be used on the lips but come a stick form. Great for travelling and just great in general. I'm really enjoying the matte shades in this range, including 'Matte Malibu' as it works great as a cream contour. 

Onto eyes, and of course i've been loving adding a touch of colour to the lids and the Makeup Revolution All Day All Night Eyeliner* (£1.99) in the shade 'The Last Laugh' has been my go to. It's the perfect shimmery gold that you can apply and smudge all over the lid, or just into the crease over the top of an eyeshadow. They also stay put really well throughout the day. I've also been using the YSL Shocking Eyeliner (£25) for a winged look, just to add some boldness and then finishing the eyes off with the Laura Mercier Long Lash Mascara (£19.50).

 Starting with my favourite piece of the moment, and this is the River Island Blogger Sweatshirt (£25). I just couldn't resist picking this up seeing as i've seen pretty much every blogger wearing this, and it's perfect to throw on for a casual outfit or even chilling in with a pair of leggings.

Next are two pieces I picked up from Newlook whilst in Weston, starting with the Grey Grid Check Coatigan (£29.99), which I had to have when I saw it. It's the perfect mix between a cardigan and coat, and it's a much cheaper version of one that I spotted in Topshop a few weeks back. I've been wearing it non stop and because it's grey, it goes with everything! I also picked up this Pale Blue Textured Kimono Sleeve Top (£9.99) as i'm in the need of a few basics and I really liked the colour of this one. 

Now i'm sure you've all heard of Millie Mackintosh and I don't know about you, but Millie's style is one that I think a lot of us girls want to steal and it's not that hard to do. In one of Millie's recent style diaries we saw her rocking an amazing fedora style hat, with very basic pieces allowing the hat to be the main focus of this outfit. As I briefly mentioned above, i've seen so many people rocking these hats recently and I think they are going to be a staple piece for A/W and I thought i'd show you how you can 'steal Millie's style' whist also showing a few alternative styles from Accessorize.

First up is the 'style steal' with the Kate Belted Fedora, which is actually the exact hat that Millie is seen wearing in her style diary. Out of all the fedora style hats i've seen, this one is really nice as the belt detail adds a little something extra to the hat. As this hat is quite basic, it allows you to style it in so many ways, if it were with a cute little skater dress or a maxi-skirt and fluffy jumper, it's that versatile. Also this hat is available in a few different colours, which allows you to really make this your own.

Next up are some alternatives if you think a fedora style might not be fore you. First up is this Black Pork Pie Trilby, odd name I know but this hat is a more subtle option compared to the fedora style with a similar shape but with a less fanned out brim. I think this hat again is one that can be styled in so many different ways and can compliment quite a few different outfits, whilst also keeping your head warm and your hair dry from the rain. Next is this Olive Belted Trilby, which is probably my favourite alternative option. Similar to the fedora it has this chic belt detailing but the hat itself is an olive shade, which is perfect for A/W and again this hat can be styled in so many different ways. Last but not least is the Sequin Bowler Hat, which has this lovely subtle sequin detailing around side band of the hat that adds something extra to the hat. The bowler hat is another style that I think we'll be seeing a lot of this A/W as a more subtle hat choice and these just add a little cute and quirkiness to any outfit.

Are you going to be rocking a staple hat this A/W?

Now a lot of these shades are kind of similar, but every lipstick lover out there will understand that they really aren't all that similar (trying to justify here ha).

Starting with the highly talked about Bourjois 'Red Sunrise' Lip Crayon (review here) for me this is going to be my staple red lip colour as a normal red lipstick makes me look so pale, but thankfully this doesn't. The lightweight glossy finish to this suits me so well and as this is a build able lip colour I can wear this in so many different ways.
