A re-discovery

A recent re-discovery of mine is L'Oreal Resist & Shine Titanium 742 in Golden Rose. It's a gorgeous pinky golden colour which I am loving this season! I'm not a fan of bold nails so this subtle colour suits me down to the ground.
Also not a huge fan of gold, I think this colour is a great alternative, matching silver jewelry, it looks great with a subtle rose gold eye also. Wearing a lot of black I feel this also contrasts well, perhaps the reason I like it most.

Bargain Faux Fur Jacket from H&M

My obsession with coats continues.
Scouring the internet, I was on the search for a reasonably priced fur coat, preferably in an animal print, when I came across an AMAZING deal on H&M's website. I stumbled across a zebra fur coat for only £14.99!For this price I was dubious of its quality but surprise, surprise, it's of reasonable quality! Not only this but I also managed to find some promo codes online, meaning I only had to spend £6.
A couple of weeks later I also found it in my nearest store, so I can imagine it's easy to pick up in store too.
The shoulders are slightly padded to give a masculine edge to the jacket.


It has a very simple neckline but I feel this is a good feature as the jacket's print already presents a statement.
I would say this jacket is slightly oversized but buying a size 8 I feel it fits me well.


Here I have teamed the jacket with a plain black Zara turtle neck. This is a smart alternative and the high neck is also great for warmth as the jacket doesn't cover the neck.
My only dislike of this jacket is that its not incredibly warm and being able to only wear it in the colder months I find this disappointing but for only £14.99, I can hardly complain! However I did once get complimented on this jacket by an employee in a shop, one of their reasons being it didn't look too thick of a fur coat, so I guess it may be good thing for some.

I'm keeping my eyes pealed for more bargain jackets on H&M now, this a great design! A bold statement.
