Best Deal I've Got All Year!

I am so excited to excited to tell you all about the deal I just snapped up on this fantastic website http://www.replicaboutiques.com. So as you all know I am a fashion addict and one of my obsessions is bags and wallets/small leather goods, I am always on the hunt for a new bag or new wallet or new agenda...well you get the idea! 

So I was told about this website that purchases designer bags, then have their machinists create an exact replica, all materials, dimensions and colours etc the exact same as the original. I never really believed in buying replica handbags, but I thought I'd give the site a look. So I made my way onto the site and did some major research and found the bags are fantastic quality (so I read from the reviews) and decided to order myself a Celiné mini luggage tote in Army Green (Khaki) and to my surprise when I got to the checkout I found that because it's Halloween, I had a coupon code that gave me half off plus free shipping. This sealed the deal even more for me! So I placed my order.

I will keep you posted on how quick the shipping is and how good quality the bag is when I receive it.

Heres the bag:

I came across this really unusual jacket and loved it. Its from Topman
This was quite a surprise, I went to the local Starbucks to my uni with some friends and when I told them my name was Mitchell I didn't expect to be called Hechel...
I picked up these collar tips from Topman sale and wore them today actually, what do you guys think?
This is another capture from today, I had the most amazing lunch in the students union bar, chicken Cesar salad!

Is Your Skin Winter Fit?

I'm sure we all give some though to the condition of our skin. I know I do especially, being a sufferer extremely severe acne when I was younger. So I though I'd get together a few of my October favourites for good, glowing, healthy skin. There are so many brands of skin care and make-up from Boots own brand all the way to Clinique, here are a few skin care must haves and my favourites of this month so far...

3-Step Skin Care Sets
The first skin care absolute MUST have is Clinique's 3 step system designed to be used every morning and night. They come in 3 sets for each skin type; very dry, dry/normal, oily, very oily. So there really is one for every woman out there. They also do this is men's skin care too which is equally as great. £20.00 from Clinique.co.uk
Vichy Normaderm 3 in 1 cleanser + scrub + mask. This Vichy product is definitely in my top 3, its a 3 in 1 cleanser, mask and scrub. So its going to help cleanse away any dirt oil or make-up, exfoliate those dead skin cells and penetrate deep into your pores to tighten and improve the overall appearance of your skin. Soap-free, paraben-free and alcohol-free. £11.00 from Boots (collect 44 points)

L'Oreal Nude Magique BB cream. This BB cream is the first self-adjusting BB cream, it is enriched with smart pigmentation capsules that match your skin tone on contact with the skin, and let me tell you...it really does work! £9.99 from Boots (collect 36 points)

I cannot praise this product enough, this is not only one of my October faves, it is my all time favourite product that I have ever purchased. I suffer with oily skin (one of the reason I used to break out, but not anymore thanks to Clinique 3 step anti blemish solutions) and my mum actually received a sample of this from Avon, and I decided to try it. I'm so glad I did, it glides onto your skin and smells really unusual but nice, it mattifies my skin literally the entire day, not a trace of shine and believe me my skin used to get terribly oily. So even if you want a good primer, THIS is the one for you. Plus it's so cheap! £7 at Avon.co.uk 
Anti-Blemish Solutions 3-Step System
I also had to include this Anti Belmish Solutions 3 Step System from Clinique also, as an 18 year old who is still prone to the odd break out, this is a life saver, it really does what it says on the tin and I would recommend it to anyone.

There you have it, my top picks for this months skin care, if you want not too pricey products that really do work, then go for these beauties! 

Ralph Lauren A/W 2012-13

''I have always been inspired by a way of living - an authentic way of living that honours grance, beauty and heartfelt experience'' Ralph Lauren

Ralph has really pulled it out the bag this season, usually I am a massive fan of Ralph Lauren with a few bad pieces but this season the collection has wowed the catwalks with a totally new sophisticated, elegant and clean look to his designs. Ralph Lauren combines many elegant evening dresses with their classic gingham style pieces for the equestrian type. I have collaborated what are, in my opinion, this seasons best look from Ralph Lauren...

This knee length leather sleeved dress incorporates one of this seasons must have trends; leather. The gold attributes of the jewelry finish off the look a treat. For winter pair this with any coat and you will turn heads, guaranteed.
I have included this look in my collection of the best purely for the beautiful cardigan. We haven't seen a  look where something simple is the center of attention, much like this one. There is a certain feel of a gold trend throughout Ralph's most recent collection and this cardigan would add that touch of real class to even the most casual look. Pair it with some black 7/8th trousers, a white shirt and a neck tie
When I think classic, this is it. The most sophisticated look of the bunch. Plain black wool cardigan with a black pencil skirt, black peep toe heels, black clutch and beautiful gold detailing to the collar of the cardigan. Even down to the smallest detail of how the model is wearing her hair is sleek and chic.
This look is probably one of the most casual we've seen. However, the tunic styled top can be dressed up or dressed down. The back of the top has a cape style detailing to it, giving it that edgy feel. Also the design of this piece is not done justice by the picture, totally innovative and unique
This is the pop of colour that strutted down this season's catwalk. The silky material would usually put any woman off, worried that the material will fall unflattering  however this garment falls gorgeously on this model and it can on you too. The colour is fantastic and unforgiving, if you want to say 'luxury meets style' then this is it.
I must say when Ralph Lauren do their signature equestrian style, they do it well! This look speaks for itself, the lines and silhouette are fantastic. The jewelry fits perfectly adding that gold trend and the materials marry together seamlessly. Amazing
To finish off my collection of the best from Ralph Lauren's fall 2012 collection I chose this beautiful evening gown. Its material looks gorgeous with the gold chest area detail. Its so simple yet elegant, a real classic timeless piece. You could possess this in your wardrobe for a decade and it would still be timeless elegant and fashionable.
