CAGECITY Blogger Competition
Hot new online store CAGECITY have launched a blogger competition, with the prize being £120 to spend on their site. With brands like MinkPink and Finders Keepers, this is one prize I would love to win!
All you have to do is pick one item from CAGECITY and then style it up. Here's my entry...
Lipstick: Topshop
Blouse: Zara
Cuffs and ring set: ASOS
Clutch: River Island
Shorts: Finders Keepers @ CAGECITY
Heels: Topshop
With party season coming up I went for an evening look, but I wanted to go for something a bit different than your usual sparkly dresses. These Finders Keepers shorts ooze minimalist cool to me, which is why I've kept the rest of the look quite simple. The high necked blouse roughly tucked in, gold cuffs on both wrists, simple black heels and a move away from monochrome with the lipstick (this colour is 'Hazard') and clutch equal a perfect outfit for bopping around London.
What do you think of my entry? If you'd like to enter the competition, see the full details here
Beauty: HD brows
After umming and ahhing over whether to get HD brows, last week I took the plunge and went for it. I'd seen people who had them done and thought some looked great but really didn't want to end up with a scouse brow disaster!
My eyebrows weren't too bad before but they were a bit uneven and had some baldy patches in places where I'd hacked away at them when I was younger. I'd spend every day filling them with Benefit's Browzings, and while it was a good kit it was a bit of a pain in the arse to do them every day.
I went in to the salon in Muswell Hill the day before to get a patch test, and with no nasty reactions I embarked on my HD brows journey. The beautician did a great job - first the tint was applied, then a bit of waxing here and trimming there. As I said, they weren't too bad and the shape was pretty much there already but they needed a bit of smartening up.

Before...
This is what they were like without using my Benefit kit. As you can see, the shapes are a bit different and there are areas where there isn't much hair.
After...
My eyebrows are now darker and a lot more even (excuse the slightly bloodshot eyes...it was after a long day!)
What do you think? Have you got HD brows?
Lust of the week: Carvela cut out heels
I saw these Carvela beauties in Kurt Geiger last week and instantly added to them to my mental lust list. A black stiletto is classic, but the unusual shape to this shoe gives it a bit of edge, and I love the flash of neon on the sole!
London bloggers meet-up
Hey lovely bloggers!
You may have seen me mention on Twitter that I'm organising a meet up at the end of November (with the help of the lovely Banké).
It won't be anything extravagant, just a lunch in London on Saturday 30th November where we can all get to know each other beyond the realms of the internet and talk about clothes and makeup :)
I haven't picked a place yet (suggestions welcome!) because I want an idea of numbers first and then I can get booking. So let me know in the comments below if you'd like to come and leave me your email address so I can send you all the details that way.
Looking forward to meeting you!

Outfit: blue knit, striped pants and ankle boots
Jumper: H&M
Trousers: H&M
Boots: Kurt Geiger
Backpack: ASOS
A casual Autumn look for walking around Hampstead Village last weekend - I went for a thin blue knit and blue and white striped pants, finished off with a backpack and ankle boots. Hampstead is so pretty - full of cobbled streets, little cafes and pubs, and shops to die for (I probably spent a bit too long staring longingly into the window of Sandro...one day!)
