MONTHLY FAVOURITES: November

Hello, hi and welcome to another monthly favourites. Here is what I've been loving the past month(no I'm not paid/sponsored etc).

CLOTHES:

Moving away from home is a stressful and tough thing to do, when I moved to Germany in August I came during their heatwave, I wore nothing but shorts and vests. 

Then I travelled for a month in Spain and Turkey where I also wore shorts and vests. So when I came back mid-October I kind of panicked when I realised I had one(quite thin) coat. 

Enter: Topshop parka. I've always wanted a parka, but for me it's all about how they look on me. Sometimes a size 10 is tight but a 12 is too big(can they invent a size 11 please), so I've always kind of gone for boyfriend style coats or trench coats. But no. Not this year. Although it is quite pricey I knew it was the one, and I'm very happy with it indeed(I basically live in it now). 

As you know H&M is my mother land, and their jeans are my saviour, I also like their stretchy trousers which is why these bad boys are in my favourites. They're the perfect autumn colour and fit really nicely on your bums and thighs and THEY'RE SUPER SOFT. 

I have no reason of justification for this sweater(jumper, soz England), other than it is freaking amazing. IT HAS AN EYE ON IT. And pizza, for crying out loud. I always buy H&M jumpers in an L because I like them to basically cover my entire body, all the comfort. There was another sweater I saw too with peace signs on, but I resisted in order to save for Christmas present buying; where's my award?

FASHION WISH LIST:

I thought I'd introduce this because who doesn't surf the Internet looking at things they wish they could have??

Now, I've wanted a Tommy Hilfiger jumper for soo long, they always look so soft and comfy but the second I saw Suki and Immy Waterhouse advertise the new and exclusive Tommy Hilfiger crop jumper I knew I wanted one. So if anyone is feeling generous this Christmas..

Now, don't be fooled by this Stella jumper. I, like you, thought it was a cape but NOPE it isn't. Just admire it. 

I have wanted a long waistcoat for quite sometime and although I could afford this Zara one I'd be very stupid to buy it as I would then have to eat toast for two weeks so let's all just collectively sigh at 

what could have been.

ACCESSORIES:

Head wraps are definitely what I'm living for this month. They're life savers. They keep your ears warm(I'm prone to ear infections during the winter), hide bad hair days and look freaking cute too. My favourite to wear is obviously the burgundy one(favourite colour ever). 

BEAUTY:

The Maybelline Matte Maker has saved my life this month. It really does what it says on the tin, and really does stay in place. After Maybelline discontinued their Dream Matte Pressed Powder I wasn't too sure whether to try out other powders or not. This was when I bought their 24 hour waterproof matte powder. But can I just say HALLELUJAH and thank you to maybelline for repackaging and reselling the product. Job well done. It's a light silky powder that feels lightweight on the skin and does mattify the skin without looking too heavy or 'cakey' for that matter. In terms of coverage it is sheer and acts almost like a second skin while controlling oily areas of the skin(if you have oily skin that is), if not (like me) it's great for coverage.

I have had the maybelline gel liner for quite some time now. I usually use a Rimmel liquid eyeliner(waterproof one) but it has recently ran out and Germany doesn't sell Rimmel(WHY GOD WHY?) so I resulted into buying another gel liner and pencil. They're so simple to use and gives you a better cat flick in my opinion as you can control it more than a standard eyeliner. 

Don't be fooled into thinking I actually spent money on the MAC charged water. Someone gave it to me. I wasn't completely sold with it at first, and I didn't see the point but it does actually hydrate the skin, and keeps you looking and feeling fresh. I don't use a lot but a little bit at a time really does go a long way.

PHOTO OF THE MONTH:

Ashley, Riana, Mairi, Myself and Gaby.

Moving to Berlin meant meeting new people and having to put myself out there to make friends. Sometimes I find this easier than others. I was blessed to be able to find friends so quickly here in Berlin. Here is a photo from the day me and the girls went to a place in Berlin(near Alexanderplatz) called 'Graffiti Alley'. It was a good day filled with talking, hot chocolates, finding wifi and Chinese food.

WHAT'S EXCITING ABOUT NEXT MONTH?:

C H R I S T M A S !

Also, my mum comes to Berlin from the 4th-8th December. I might blog about what we get up to. 

Then I fly home on the 22nd, and I stay home for twelve days. 

I also get to see my long lost sister Becky, who I haven't seen since August!

Hope you enjoyed reading. What are your November favourites? 

Until next time..
