Jadeybaby: What I Wore Today (Part drei)

Today I was woken up at the ungodly hour of 6 in the morning (by my mother) so we could do some Christmas food shopping before the masses caused all the Turkey to sell out. I had half an hour to get ready so the pictures which follow were taken afterwards, but features exactly what I wore. I think I now find it physically impossible to leave the house in a hoodie and trackies (unless I'm going to the gym). But even then I spend half an hour praying that I don't bump into anyone. 

 See even Instagram can't hide the bags under my eyes -_- 

So I wore:

So piece by piece:

• The hat is from River Island. I bought it last year for £12 (well less with my staff discount) BUT they now have THIS version for £13. *inflation sigh*. To be honest I never really wear hats but the strawberry was kind of irresistible
• Large white hoops from Forever 21. I love Forever 21 mainly because their jewellery so damn cheap! These cost $1.50 but I'm pretty sure they'll also stock them in their UK stores. 
• The leather jacket is the same Topshop one I always wear for £58. I didn't think I would get so much use out of it...but since the weather is being kind to me this year I've had no need for a coat.
• The black top inside was £16 from Topshop. Its basic. It was bought for work. It goes with EVERYTHING. Full stop. lol
• Green jeans from River Island. I liked them instantly because (I'll be honest) they reminded me of mint ice cream. Random I know. The trend of coloured jeans is still in and I recommend THESE or THESE or THESE and especially THESE! Basically just get yourselves on Riverisland.com because I just got a tad carried away lol.
• I've neglected my Converses a bit recently, but I was having a love affair with my red Vans. I'm pretty sure they understand.

And today was the first day I wore my new foundation. Well I kind of stole it from my mum because the shade wasn't the exact match on her. But it turns out it was the perfect match for me.

Its called 'Clinique Superbalanced Makeup'.

Some facts about it:

• Its great for Combination Skin. So skin that has some oily and some oily areas.
• It comes in a 30ml pouring bottle.
• It gives moderate coverage.
• Its long-wearing.
• Its £21

The shade I'm wearing is 16 Toffee. Honestly I instantly prefer this to my MAC foundation. Its really light and blends really well with my skin. I applied it with my Topshop Foundation brush and it hardly needs any blending. It also has the perfect finish...it doesn't leave my skin looking too matte or too shiny. Have a look at the pictures below and decide for yourself. I didn't use Instagram on these ones so you can see the true finish of the product.

I feel like I can wear this everyday, without giving myself away too much. My new favourite thing! :D

Thanks for reading!

You can take the girl out of Tottenham...

Yesterday me and the fam bam had a little road trip up to Oxford to pick my sister up (she goes to the uni there, the little smarty pants). So me being the sort of creative vain girl that I am, I decided to do a mini photoshoot of what I wore today...plus a little bit of scenery. So think of this post as What I Wore Today part drei. 

So in short I'm wearing...

• My favourite Orlando Magic Basketball Sweatshirt in XL (I think). It was bought from the Adidas Outlet Store in Orlando for $20...one of my favourite places on earth.
• Ripped skinny jeans from American Eagle in Florida. The holes started of really small. However me being the drama queen that I am, I ripped them beyond belief. 
• Red Vans from Office.
• Fishtail earrings from Topshop.

I guess this was the 'I'm a tomboy slob meets I can't leave the house without make-up and jewellery' kind of look'.

I'm not wearing foundation so excuse the state of my skin lol. But my make-up look is pretty much the same as always. Eyebrow pencil, eyeliner, blusher and of course my favourite red lipstick. I tried something different with my hair (a middle parting). I honestly always thought my forehead was too big for one. But just maybe I can pull it off.

My sister thinks that the last two look like I'm trapped in an S&M dungeon. #Oh 

Thanks for reading lovelies!

POParazzi Earrings.

No I haven't made a typo in the title. And yes my ghetto girl tastes are about to be truly revealed in this post. How? Because I'm about to reveal my absolute lust for the biggest and tackiest of earrings. 

To be honest I'll never really leave the house without a pair of large earrings (unless I'm wearing a statement necklace). However, by watching some black American reality TV shows my fetish for them has increase tenfold. 

It all began during an episode of Basketball Wives. The first thing I noticed about Evelyn Lodaza were her earrings.

She was rarely ever seen without a pair of huge hoops embellished with crystals in a variety of colours, shapes and sizes. 

The more shows I watched, the more people I saw them on, like Emily from Love & Hip Hop.

Not really a great facial expression but its all I could find. Sorry.

I've never seen them in a shop in the UK, or even in any shop when I was in Florida. So like any other 21st century girl does, I asked my trusted friend. Mr Google (how I love him). So after a couple of searches I found out that they are a particular brand called POParazzi earrings and they are sold HERE

I honestly love these in all their unadulterated tacky glory.

I wanted to get some from the official website but who has roughly £42 to spend on a pair of earrings? If you do then I suggest you also have a look at this online store: http://celebboutique.com/accessories-en-2-3/jewellery-en-2.html

Celebboutique offers something a bit different as they've added spikes to some of their earrings which are very on trend for the moment. Seriously, if my Christmas present hadn't already been bought I'd be asking for a pair of these.

 I know you're all seriously judging me at the moment...

For the girl who is still paying off her overdraft (like me) I suggest you have a look on Amazon. I found these and the price agrees with my teaching assistant paypacket lol

They're less than half price at £17.99...so maybe I'll get two pairs? 

To be honest, I don't know if my chubby face can carry this off. Maybe I'll wait until I get my weave back. All I know is that I'll own these...by hook or by crook. 

Thanks for coming on this journey of ghetto accessorising with me. Its been a pleasure :)
