NEW BLOG<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi All, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry for the lack of posting here on J'adore Jade as of late. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been working on a new blog, a blog that fits to who I am now and where my life is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started J'adore Jade when I was 18, just leaving college and trying to figure out what I wanted to do in life, having decided not to go to university like the majority of my friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm now 20, and so much has changed in just two years. I feel the most myself now than I think I ever have. I've removed some negativity in my life that, on reflection, affected every single part of my life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can now dress and express myself however I want. I am in the position in my career and my life that I want to be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because of this, J'adore Jade no longer really reflects my life or style. Reading back over some of these posts, I can see how I wasn't putting my creativity and passion into the writing. Probably because I was unhappy, or unsure of so many things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, since working on my new site and focusing on things that I really love, putting a lot of time into researching, editing, and, most importantly, writing each post, I realised how much I love blogging.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Through this blog, I have been invited to some amazing events, sent some lovely items (that I am so grateful for) and met some wonderful people, especially Millie from <a href="http://www.sheheartsthehighstreet.co.uk/" target="_blank">She Hearts The High Street</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you all so much for following or reading my blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really am so thankful that people actually read what I have to write!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you'd like to follow me on to my next chapter, my new site is:</div>

Hello all</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Festivities are well underway, as is the month of December! Even though it's only the 9th of the festive month, I have already been to 3 Christmas parties. These were all work related parties, so it was a nice excuse to dress up & have fun with my colleagues. Two of the three parties were in hired out clubs, thus my outfits reflected that, & the third party was much more formal, however as I work in events I was in charge of running the party, hence why my outfit wasn't as fabulous as last years outfit, which you can read about <a href="http://jadorejadex.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/go-to-hollywood-and-pay-price.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That being said, my colour scheme has not changed at all since last year as you will see below! Having three parties was really enjoyable, as although I'm not into going 'all out' when getting ready (by this I mean fake tan, false nails, getting my hair done professionally), I did enjoy spending time getting ready!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the 3 outfits I wore:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
As I mentioned previously, my colour scheme has stayed with black, white & red! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first outfit was very sixties inspired with the monochrome & the platforms, so I did a mini bouffant, half up half down hair style.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the VW party, as I was working practicality had to come before glamour, but I threw in some tartan as afterall, it was Vivienne Westwood!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, the Topshop party outfit. Although I really liked all the outfits, but I think I felt most confident in the last outfit, as I had the longest to get ready! I also managed to stay in the heels for a good 2 hours, which is pretty good for me! I also liked the illusion of an LBD, with a top & skirt combo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some more pictures of the 3 nights, included my makeup, nails & my fabulous friend.</div>

Hello All!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last week, my beautiful blogging buddy Millie, from <a href="http://sheheartsthehighstreet.co.uk/" target="_blank">She Hearts The High Street</a>, & I went to the New Look SS'14 Press Day. Around this time last year, I went to the SS'13 New Look Press Day, which you can read about <a href="http://jadorejadex.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/new-look-ss13-preview.html" target="_blank">here</a>, so it was lovely to go back this year! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Generally, myself & Millie are more Autumn / Winter girls, however it was very interesting to see what was to be in vogue next year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Press Day was divided into 7 sections. The main attraction was, of course, the four clothing sections divided in the following collections; California Dreaming, Tomorrow’s Yesterday, Seattle Grunge & Neon Bloom. Then there was an underwear section, jewellery wall, a swimwear area & there were several sets of shelves with shoes (a.k.a my weakness) & bags. As you may know, as it is pretty obvious, I am a fan of monochrome. So naturally, I was drawn immediately to 'Tomorrow's Yesterday', which was a monochromatic, sixties inspired collection, incorporating underwear as outerwear, with lace trimmed slips.<br />

Unfortunately, I didn't pay as much attention to the other collections as they were really not my style. For 'California Dreaming', the best way I can describe it is as a Bo-Ho, Nicole Richie-esque collection. It's very folky, a definite Coachella vibe running through the looks!<br />
'Seattle Grunge' I would consider to be the collection that I liked the most of the remaining three. Millie really liked this collection, with its acid wash denim & t-shirts & strappy 90s baby doll style dresses. I can see this really working for her with her amazing blonde hair! <br />
Finally, 'Neon Bloom' was the typical 'Florals? For Spring? How original' Miranda Preistly from The Devil Wears Prada comment. As usual, there was a floral presence at the Spring Summer Press Day, a print that I am really not interested in, sorry!<br />
<br />
Moving on to the underwear, New Look have always had a lovely selection of underwear. Although I am not big busted (or perhaps it'd be fairer to say busted at all!), I think the Kelly Brook bra & knickers sets are so lovely! The SS'14 collection was set in a perfect boudoir, with a heart shaped mirror that had 'movie star style mirror lights', something that I fell instantly in love with!<br />

Finally, there was a jewelery wall. Honestly, in terms of shiney things, I am a bit of a magpie. If something glitters, or shimmers, it will definitely catch my eye. But that is wear the fascination ends. I do not have much, if any, sparkley items in my clothing or beauty iteams. I would love to be a girl who has so many rings, or signature bracelet or scarf a la Miranda Priestly & her Hermes scarf (sorry for the heavy Devil Wears Prada references today!), but alas, I am not!<br />

Upon leaving, we were given a goody bag featuring the SS'14 lookbook, which was incredibly nicely presented & I really appreciated the artwork & layout. It also featured an Elemis face product (that would make an excellent stocking filler, so thanks New Look!) a clutch bag & a gift card.<br />
As the press day was very close to Oxford Circus, Millie & I decided to see if the card had any value. At most we were expecting £10, which we considered extremely generous! However, the wonderful press team at New Look shocked us! I won't disclose the exact amount, but I was so grateful & so thankful. Here is what I bought with lovely gift card:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I've been looking for a black coat for a while now. I had the idea of the Zara-esque biker style jacket from last year. However, I came across this beauty with the leather look sections & it's perfect fit (& a little help from the gift card!) this baby is now mine. I have practically lived in it, it is so cosy!<br />
<br />
The talented Millie also vlogged about our trip, which you can watch <a href="http://sheheartsthehighstreet.co.uk/2013/12/02/behind-the-scenes-new-looks-ss14-press-day/" target="_blank">here</a>! It features our outfits of the day & our dinner date to The Diner in Soho!<br />

Hello All, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's post is more sombre, but incredibly important. Today, 25th November is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it's so important that this topic is addressed, & people who are going through this, know that there are people who are there to support them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This year, Stella McCartney has designed the White Ribbon badges that symbolize the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Stella is a member of the PPR Foundation for Women's Dignity & Rights Foundation, along with other fashion supporters including Gucci creative director Frida Giannini & Balenciaga CEO Isabel Guichot. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px; text-align: start;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“The global violence statistics against women are horrific and it has inspired me to bring attention to this incredibly important awareness campaign by designing this badge,” </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">said McCartney.</span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> “I cannot stress enough how important it is that people are aware of the facts and gain information to make changes so desperately needed to end this terrible violence.”</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px; text-align: start;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

McCartney, in partnership with the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -0.38in;">Kering</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -0.38in;"> Foundation, has designed a White
Ribbon badge to highlight the International Day for the Elimination of Violence
Against Women. Since 1999, the United Nations has dedicated November 25th to
ending violence against women in the family, the community, violence
perpetrated by the state or inflicted during armed conflict.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The badges will be given to anyone who makes a purchase at a Stella McCartney store until this Friday (29th November)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please show your support towards the end of Violence Against Women. Any purchase from Stella McCartney will mean you go home with a badge to support such a great & extremely common problem. I feel that many people don't believe this still exists in the modern age. This, I can tell you for sure, is definitely not true </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only do you support a great cause, you also invest in a piece of British fashion from the incredible designer. I'm not sure if perfume purchases are included in this, but I love the Stella McCartney scent!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Domestic Abuse, be it man to woman, woman to man, woman to woman or man to man, should not exist. There is absolutely no need for it. International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women is a day to highlight just how many women are faced with dealing with violence. Even I've been shocked at some of the statistics I've been made aware of. I also think that people wrongly assume that violence against women only occurs in certain cultures, countries or classes. This is not only incorrect, it is also ignorant. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having someone to talk about it with is a great help, so if a friend comes to you seeking help I urge you to been a shoulder to cry on & an open ear for them. Sometimes just getting things off their chest & saying things out loud will be enough support to them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hello All, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another beauty post for you this evening. I recently emptied the 6th and final M.A.C product, meaning I could <b>finally </b>go 'Back2MAC'!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those of you who do not know, once you use 6 M.A.C items (full size products,check the website for more details as to what is accepted), you can bring them back to a M.A.C store or counter in exchange for a lipstick from their permanent range. They then recycle the empties, & you get a brand new lipstick, therefore everyone wins! I took back:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Studio Fix Fluid</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Eye Makeup Remover</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Mineralize foundation</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Lip Liner wind up crayon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Eye Brow wind up crayon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Tinted Moisturizer Tube</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, I have quite a long M.A.C wishlist, which includes several lipsticks. However, as it is autumn & I love my red pout, I chose 'Diva' for my first 'Back2MAC' experience. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivW9rvYHxRUvAKvO373U2SFlE6tACnUrn8xJ-7I_WspWZpFs7KhMiptaqOniCTlhIh1p9UjR-mebeLGUL6uRHiPhra7RBUQaRvzdcSZVz46abnodN3NEdScw1GfePTQ76VaaZrqgIiuLM/s1600/DIVA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivW9rvYHxRUvAKvO373U2SFlE6tACnUrn8xJ-7I_WspWZpFs7KhMiptaqOniCTlhIh1p9UjR-mebeLGUL6uRHiPhra7RBUQaRvzdcSZVz46abnodN3NEdScw1GfePTQ76VaaZrqgIiuLM/s640/DIVA.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Left: no flash | Right: with flash</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the M.A.C website, 'Diva' is described as an 'intense reddish-burgundy' & I think this does it justice. As most of my other lipsticks, this is a matte finish. It's a perfect burgandy shade, which for me means it leans more toward red, than purple.In the below swatches, it looks much brighter than when put on the lips in my opinion. Please excuse my incredibly boney fingers & odd bent ring finger.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL5_J5FuyjawA2GsIC6bmPkgi_puGnyWTIHhDG5wMaz_A6myLoJhOb9nwrIGhRL4YyyvVGvbQVN28w6-xITzRrQvKIw_cGXKpU5IH5cVTrT36nN4lv5l6fmmaosudU8fE4Iv35mFVTVe4/s1600/diva+swatches.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL5_J5FuyjawA2GsIC6bmPkgi_puGnyWTIHhDG5wMaz_A6myLoJhOb9nwrIGhRL4YyyvVGvbQVN28w6-xITzRrQvKIw_cGXKpU5IH5cVTrT36nN4lv5l6fmmaosudU8fE4Iv35mFVTVe4/s640/diva+swatches.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Left: no flash | Right: with flash</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> The formula is creamy for a matte finish & doesn't cling to the dry cracks that plague my lips! Despite it's texture the finish is as matte as the other M.A.C matte lipsticks, with no shine at all. I found that it faded to a nice berry shade stain, therefore it still looks nice.</span></span></div>

Hello All,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I featured in my Birthday Highlights post, which you can read <a href="http://jadorejadex.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/birthday-highlights.html" target="_blank">here</a>, my lovely friend Courtney bought me Bleach London Super Cool Colour in 'I Saw Red'. Being a red head, I constantly battle with maintaining the right shade of red & covering the ginger tinges that show through after only a few washes (in very cold water may I add!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this present was absolutely perfect (thanks Courtney!). I had previously used Schwarzkopf 'Red Passion' dye, which to be honest I was quite disappointed with. It wasn't red enough for me. I have never bleached my hair, luckily my hair takes red very well, probably due to my natural red hue. I had heard that the Bleach Super Cool Colours only work on bleached/ prelightened hair, but I've been using crazy colour & directions semi-perminents for a while now & they've always seemed to give me the refresh I wanted between permanent dyes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the colour my hair had faded to just before using 'I Saw Red'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVWNp7cebso_7CdozNPPXFHNhsr6ffUnaXIj7cWt-Qt4YH9IyqnWChvxwTJUHV5D_KhP4R7gD8yiSxF4aqsq0WO7EeTO8dfrxgxBPH7TV6fWNT4TUp38YSajtk5DWatn5nebmYN4Hlcts/s1600/image(5).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVWNp7cebso_7CdozNPPXFHNhsr6ffUnaXIj7cWt-Qt4YH9IyqnWChvxwTJUHV5D_KhP4R7gD8yiSxF4aqsq0WO7EeTO8dfrxgxBPH7TV6fWNT4TUp38YSajtk5DWatn5nebmYN4Hlcts/s640/image(5).jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please ignore the bare face, I was about to wash / dye my hair the shower!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see, although it was still red, there were several shades, & it was very ginger towards the ends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Application</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of my application progress. <b>But</b>, Zoe, from The London Lipgloss has a fantastic video to show you how to dye your hair at home, which you can view <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhO--UWZvbM" target="_blank">here <u><b> </b></u></a>Although she is using blue, it's the same application progress, of roots then lengths. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The texture of 'I Saw Red' was different to that of Crazy Colour or Directions. I thought it was much thicker, which at first I didn't like, however by the end I found it was helpful to feel if I'd missed any spots! It looks like a very small bottle (It's 150ML), however it covered my entire hair, which is both long & <b>very </b>thick!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My friend, Katherine, also put a purple toner in her hair whilst I did the red!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see, it's a very vibrant red, & I managed to not get any on my forehead!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Results</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At first, in the light in my room & after a rough dye, I was quite disappointed. It seemed nothing much had changed. <b>However</b>, once I went into natural light, & my hair was fully dry, I could definitely notice more vibrancy to my red locks.</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really love the rich red that my hair went. In natural or artificial light, with flash & without, I'm still undoubtedly a red head, which I lacked before. Previously, I only looked very red headed with a flash or in daylight. Now, I'm scarlet and proud!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would definitely use 'I Saw Red' by Bleach London again, as the process wasn't messy & the results were great. You can buy various shades of the Bleach Super Cool Colours <a href="http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/EndecaSearchListerView?storeId=10052&langId=-1&catalogId=11051&stReq=1&searchTerm=bleach+super+cool+colours&newDepSearch=&x=0&y=0#container" target="_blank">online </a>& in store at Boots, & they only cost £5.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you again Courtney:)</div>

Hello All</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Having only done one ‘OOTD’ post before that I didn’t even
show my face in, which you can read <a href="http://jadorejadex.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/bleeding-double-c-ripped-denim-studs.html" target="_blank">here </a>, I thought another ‘proper’
OOTD post was much needed!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
As you all know, tartan is <b>huge </b>this A/W. From High end, to High Street, tartan is taking over
many shops, editorials & my earlier wishlist this month, which you can <a href="http://jadorejadex.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/wednesday-wish-list.html" target="_blank">read</a>here.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I’ve been a fan of tartan for a long time. For my thirteenth
birthday I wore a tartan strapless dress with a tutu underneath (may I point
out I was going through my gothic phase, that hasn’t quite finished yet, but is
a lot less extreme! My fashion role model was Avril Lavgine). For my last day
at high school, I wore a tartan kilt, Dr. Martens and fishnets, resulting in a
telling off & being told, & I quote ‘Punk Rock died in the 80s’ by my
head of year. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
This however didn’t deter me! Featured in my aforementioned
birthday/ October wishlist, & seen across the bloggersphere, I have been
coveting <b>that </b>Primark tartan dress
for a long time now. Having looked in my local store, plus in both the Marble
Arc & Tottenham Court Road ones, I had little success. That was however,
until this Sunday. This ‘quick trip, just to browse’ in Primark resulted in a
small haul <b>&</b>the dress, at last! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The below outfit I wore to a wedding, not your typical
wedding attire I’d say, however I felt totally comfortable, danced the night
away as my feet didn’t hurt & hats are appropriate for weddings!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
This dress, (which is only £15!) is a perfectly flattering shape. With the slightly puffed shoulders, nipped in waist & loose skirt, I found it to be a really great fit. This is not the original dress I set out for. I initially liked the darker red & green tartan version. However seeing it i n person changed my mind. I love this dress, so expect to see more of it in the coming months!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The satchel caught my eye in the queue (clever marketing Primark team!). It;s really striking, & since using it a few times, it's uber practical too!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
My shoe collection is getting out of hand, with this being my third pair in a month. But Dr. Marten's are really well made shoes, & are good for the feet too. So far, I haven't even scuffed these matte white ones, & they look perfect still! Let's see how long that lasts, eh?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Having wanted a bowler style hat for a very long time, I finally got one. I <b>love </b>it. I've hardly taken it off since I got it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The nails were a bit of a pain. They aren't the neatest, hence the slightly far away, unfocused shot! But you can see that I painted them matte white, & used the Barry M black nail art pen to do half moons & tips. Not bad for a first attempt!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoyed my first 'proper' OOTD. Lately I feel I've found my 'signature style' so hope to do more OOTD posts on here!</div>

Hello All, </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As I mentioned in my first 'ART' port, which you can read <a href="http://jadorejadex.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/art-coco-chanel-new-portrait-by-marion.html" target="_blank">here</a>, I wanted to make there ART posts fairly regular. With work & attempting to have a social life, getting to galleries / exhibitions gets pushed back a bit. </div>

Initially, I fell in love with her custom made skulls. Throughout this year, she had been running Skull Workshops, in which you could chose, decorate & take home your very own skull! Unfortunately I missed out :( But here are a selection of my favourite skulls, more can be found <a href="http://laurenbakermosaics.tumblr.com/humanskulls" target="_blank">here</a></div>

But, since hearing about her, I have become incredibly interested in her art work. Although the skulls remain my favourite, I really like the Mosaic's especially in the <a href="http://laurenbakermosaics.tumblr.com/cape" target="_blank">cape </a>collaborations with fashion label Velevet Johnstone & <a href="http://laurenbakermosaics.tumblr.com/mosaicshoes" target="_blank">shoe </a>collaboration with Joanne Stoker</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Another thing I really like about art is art for a cause. Of course, creativity for creativities sake is beautiful & I find it admirable when people create such moving pieces. However, combining a talent with a good cause is so amazing. Lauren Baker created the below, crystal encrusted Tiger head for Save The Tigers</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
'<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">Baker's <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15px;">most intricate work; The Crystal Tiger is a life-size tiger head sculpture encrusted with 35,000 Swarovski crystals. World-renowned luxury shoe designer Jimmy Choo endorsed and unveiled The Crystal Tiger at St Pancras Renaissance Hotel. The artwork, which was modeled by trend-setting actress Jaime Winstone, fetched £10.5k at auction on 21st March 2013 for the tiger conservation charity Save Wild Tigers. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">'</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">You may already know that I <b>love </b>cats, sometimes I genuinely think they are better than people! I went to ZSL recently, & fell in love with the new tiger section. Also, I actually shed a little tear when I found out the baby tiger cub drowned. So the fact Lauren has used her amazing talents to support a cause I feel strongly about, appealed to me even more!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">I hope that in the future she will be hosting more Skull Workshops as I would love to go to one!</span></span></div>

Hello All!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I may have mentioned slightly in the last few posts, it was recently my birthday. I turned 20, leaving my teenage years behind me & becoming an adult, apparently!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Due to work, I didn't go out on my actual birthday, or on Halloween. However the weekend just gone, I certainly made up for that! Spending it with all my best friends & dressing up was so fun. If you follow me on Instagram ( @missjadebd ) you can see more of my celebrations, but here are a few of my fave pics!</div>

I was also incredibly spoilt in the present department this year & all my family & friends were so generous. Either I'm incredibly predictable, they all know me inside out or they read my blog, as they all got me perfect presents :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So thank you to everyone who made me birthday week (yes, week) as amazing as it was</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I <b>loved </b>each & every one of my presents, I couldn't talk about them all (not to sounds too spoilt or big headed), so I picked out my high lights to share with you!</div>

Hello All</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Halloween!!!! I'm marking the occasion, as it falls on a Thursday & I'm at work (boo!) by wearing black lipstick & getting many a double take on the underground! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fear not though, this weekend I shall be celebrating in scary style with <b>proper </b>fancy dress (if you haven't read my last, rather rant-y post about my gripe with sexy Halloween costumes, you can do so <a href="http://jadorejadex.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/halloween-series-6-halloween-costumes.html#" target="_blank">here</a>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As this is my 7th Halloween Series Post, I thought I would feature '7 Terrifyingly Haunted Attractions Around The World', as it seemed fitting! I was recently approached by <a href="http://www.priorityonejets.com/private-jet-charter/" target="_blank">Priority One Jets</a> about this Halloween themed post they recently featured. As I mentioned at the beginning of this month, in my first <a href="http://jadorejadex.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/wanderlust-weekend-in-paris.html" target="_blank">Wanderlust </a>post, I do want to feature more travel posts here. So Priority One Jets approaching me seemed perfect; combining my long term love of Halloween, & my new found love of discovering new places! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know many people live to visit haunted venues, especially around Halloween. There are many 'Ghost Tours' around, however the below places are slightly more of the beaten track, & therefore in my opinion, far more scary & enjoyable!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below you can read the post from Priority One Jets, or visit on their blog <a href="http://www.priorityonejets.com/blog/just-tell-make-believe-7-terrifying-haunted-attractions-around-world/" target="_blank">here</a>!</div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The arrival of All Hallows Eve is lurking around the corner and haunted attractions housing zombies, vampires, and ghosts are popping up all over the world. While the staged acts use special effects and fog machines to conjure up a few screams, for some, the creepy history alone is enough to send chills down their spines. Whether you are <a href="http://www.priorityonejets.com/private-jet-charter/" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">looking to travel</a> for some eerie entertainment or to hit up a historical haunt, this list has enough scary and scripted options to leave you shaking in your boots.</span></span></div>

The prisoners were kept isolated and did all activities alone, until overcrowding forced the institution to abandon inmate separation. Along with this treatment, the guards and facility counselors developed different physical and psychological torture techniques that ultimately caused mental illness in many of the inmates. Since closing in 1970, visitors have reported sightings of dark figures and sounds of lonely wails echoing through the halls. The prison is open for tours year-round, along with a haunted house attraction from September to November.</span></div>

I think that anywhere that there has been suffering or pain holds the negativity or spirits of those who suffered. I think this is why 'ghosts' get such a bad rep, but I find this fascinating and love exploring haunted places!</div>

Hello All, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've written about my peeve with girls using Halloween as an excuse to dress like sluts. The below Mean Girls gif really sums it up, & lets face it, Mean Girls quotes are always relevant</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently, there was a Halloween fancy dress party. Now, I have to admit, some people did try & be scary with face paint, fake blood & fairly spooky costumes (mainly the boys though honestly).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But others just dressed up in <b>any </b>old costume, from Minnie Mouse to just plain revealing outfits with no direct origin of who or what they were supposed to me. I just don't get why Halloween is an excuse to get your boobs, bum, or both out. Halloween is about scariness, & while some of those over exposing themselves was a scary sight (sorry for being bitchy!), they are missing the true spirit of Halloween, in a bid for attention.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, when looking for Halloween costumes for women online, so many of them are revealing, derogatory &, quite frankly, totally irrelevant to Halloween. Here are a selection of ones that insulted me.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">All costumes found on <a href="http://www.partydelights.co.uk/fancy-dress/costumethemelisting.asp?gg=fe&ThemeCode=145&SizeAge=&Keyword=&PriceBand=0&offset=0&ipp=152" target="_blank">party delights</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">So...where shall I start? I find the <b>most </b>offensive one the 'Sexy Teen Bride' (I will be referring the the costumes as they are described on the site, just fyi)</span> </span>Not only does it not mention that it is a <b>corpse / dead </b>bride, which would tie it into Halloween, it refers to her as a 'teen' bride. Why does that matter? Are teens sexier?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A close second come the animal costumes. Skin-tight leopard print catsuits that leave nothing to the imagination, or adding a tail / ears combo to change a normal tight, revealing dress to turn it into a 'costume' have <b>absolutely nothing </b>to do with Halloween. Since when was a lace rabbit scary? Never. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, the 'Sexy Mummy'. Yes, you read that correctly. That is what it's listed as. Egyptian Mummy's are anything but sexy. Firstly, they are dead, thus will smell pretty bad. Secondly, their brains have been removed from their skull via their nose, which is both pretty disgusting, but also means they are brainless. Nice. Now, playing the 'Mummy' game at a Halloween party is fun, there is no doubt about that! (If you have never played it, you definitely should!) But trying to make being wrapped in toilet paper sexy, don't bother!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, the miscellaneous other insulting costumes available including but not limited to the totally pointless red catsuit, the 'Sexy Steam Punk' & the 'Psychedelic Zombie'. Honestly, what?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I'm not saying you can't be a bit sexy on Halloween (or any time for that matter!) But at least make it relevant! For example this is my costume:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A Zombie Nurse. Yes the nurse bit is a bit 'sexy', but the make up & fake cuts I'll be doing, plus the Victory Rolls hair style & the fact I won't be flaunting myself around, means that, at least to me, I won't look too 'trying to be sexy' in it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

One last note, I had a moral dilemma when I came across the below:</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Making Fairytale / Classic Story characters Halloween-ified. Is this allowed? And moreover, is it done well here?

Hello All, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Less than a week to go until Halloween now, & I can't wait!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw '<a href="http://zombiesweareyeliner.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/hallowed-hints-halloween-tag.html#more" target="_blank">The Halloween Tag</a>' on Ali's, from <a href="http://zombiesweareyeliner.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Zombie's Wear Eyeliner</a>, blog & couldn't not do it too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>What is your favourite Halloween movie?</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is hard, because horror films are pretty much the only genre of film I watch! I really love 'The Craft', all year round, but especially towards Halloween. I also <b>love</b> Tim Burton's films, from the animated'The Nightmare Before Christmas' & 'Corpse Bride', to spooky 'Sweeny Todd' & 'Sleepy Hollow', I think Tim Burton is amazing, so my collection of his films often make an appearance in October!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>1-10 How much do you enjoy Halloween?</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
100! Seeing as my birthday is so close to Halloween, I've always felt an affinity to the holiday. I love the dressing up, the decor & the excitement it brings. Because of my birthday, I get presents too, so it really is on par, if not better, than Christmas for me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>What is your fondest Halloween memory?</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my 18th Birthday, my friends & I went to The London Dungeons, to the late night, Halloween special. We all dressed up, & I was so happy they all put in so much effort! It was a really fun evening as, I love the dungeon's anyway, I was excited to be turning 18 & because it was around Halloween, it felt even more spooky!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Have you always been a Halloween lover?</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As mentioned earlier, due to my birthday, I have always loved Halloween! Almost every birthday party I've had has been Halloween dress up & I love the atmosphere it brings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>How do you get into the Halloween spirit?</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year, Pinterest has really helped! It's got me so excited & given me some great ideas.But usually, digging out my fake blood & experimenting with Halloween makeup, or watching the aforementioned Halloweeny films helps too. I also really like Halloween sound tracks, like the stereotypical creepy music, full of wolf howls, creaking doors, witch cackles, screams etc! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilmE6D-bO6nTxnup4UZunhfiskdEUwZ1890I_RS3GE0YxGSBlGXKpRlUuuRDX5x0IurhyphenhyphenAYo07szgncDCmCrWXZJTPV_he9xpHULXW0PIL0SK4taxY565nwL3DXU657_CE1nb4bTvezpYD/s1600/IMG_6643.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Favourite Halloween decorations?</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Carving pumpkins is always fun! For my Halloween birthday parties, we used to go all out, with fake cobwebs, bunting & such, & once I move into my own place, I'll be making this happen again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Favourite Halloween/fall scent?</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The smell of fresh pumpkin is nice, & even though it isn't necessarily Halloweeny, I love the smell of fireworks & bonfires which all occur around Halloween too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Favourite candy?</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the Halloween versions brands bring out, like when they replace ingredients with jam or add green food colouring to represent blood or gunge respectively. I also love the white chocolate pic'n'mix skulls </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Vampires or zombies?</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ohh that's so hard! Well, I would rather <b>BE </b>a Vampire, because I think they are so sexy. But I <b>love</b> Zombie films, & constantly plan my 'Zombie Apocalypse Survival Strategy' & I'm going as a Zombie Nurse to one of my Halloween celebrations. So I'm going to have to say it's a tie! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>What is your weird/odd fear?</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't really like certain masks, I think it's the obscuring of the face that creeps me out. I used to be <b>really </b>afraid of them, but I'm not as bad now. Still wouldn't go out of my way to be surrounded by masked people! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Last but not least: do you believe in ghosts?</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes I do. Not in the way that the media portrays them, but I do believe in ghosts. I dislike shows like 'Most Haunted' are so obviously fake, but there are too many inexplicable things to rule out ghosts. My old house, I believe, was haunted & many of my friends felt the 'presence' of it too. It was friendly though, it never disturbed us in a negative way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really hope you enjoyed my Halloween Tag as much as I enjoyed answering it!</div>

Hello All,<br />
<br />
Having been in Bristol this weekend to visit my best friend, I didn't have a chance to write & schedule any posts!<br />
<br />
As
it gets closer to Halloween, my excitement it only growing! With 3
Halloween party / events to go to this year, & hope to wear a
different costume to each.<br />
<br />
My last Halloween Series Post, which you can read <a href="http://jadorejadex.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/halloween-series-3-high-street.html" target="_blank">here</a>, was fashion based, so this time I thought I would do a beauty focus Halloween post. Being fairly new to Pinterest (<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/jadorejadex/boards/" target="_blank">missjadebd</a>) I found myself, borderline obsessively, looking at Halloween nail art. Here are some of my absolute favourites from Pinterest.<br />

Now, although some of them look really difficult to achieve, there are so many great nail art tools & accessories out now & very affordable too! I've put together a few tools & items that I think are great for a Halloween nail art kit!<br />

<br />
I can't wait to get my hands on the Topshop <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?searchTerm=nail+art&storeId=12556&productId=10469511&urlRequestType=Base&categoryId=&langId=-1&productIdentifier=product&catalogId=33057#" target="_blank">Nail Art Brush Kit</a>, for only £10 it has 6 different tools, from a dotting tool to several alternative nibs of varying thickness & shape. I'm sure with this kit, any nail art is achievable, even for those lacking in creativity or steadiness!<br />
I also really like the BarryM nail art pens, perfect for accurate & small details, like stripes or dot patterns. I can imagine the white pen would help create a spider web on the nails amazingly!<br />
I've already raved about the Nails Inc. leather and skull effect kit <a href="http://jadorejadex.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/manicure-monday-leather-effect-skulls.html" target="_blank">here</a>, & while I would wear it all year round, it's also a great was to incorporate Halloween onto your nails if you aren't a skull fan like myself. <br />
A corrector pen is also essential. This means you can be as messy as you want, but still have fabulously frightening nails at the end!<br />
<br />
In terms of essential Halloween nail colours, I think dark colours are obvious, especially deep purples, greens & navy. Of course black, white & red are great. Glitter top coats can add gothic glamour. Lime greens or florescent orange are options too for slimey look or pumpkin nails respectively!<br />
One collection that really caught my eye was the Illamasqua UV nail polish collection. If you're planning to celebrate Halloween in a club, then these are perfect! With 3 great shades & a top coat, all full sized, this set is a really good price.<br />
<br />
Tonight I'm going to be trying out some of these, so I will show my results on here!<br />
<br />
I hope you're still enjoying my Halloween Series, & I'd love to hear anything you'd like me to cover!<br />
Also, what're you doing to celebrate Halloween?<br />

Hello All.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another day closer to Halloween festivities!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I honestly have been so enthusiastic about these posts, I wish it was Halloween permanently as I'd definitely begun feeling less inclined or excited to blog lately. However, starting my Halloween series has really awoken my love of blogging!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although AW13 trends are largely focused on vampy looks (dark lipsticks, leather, lace, velvet etc a.k.a my style exactly), I've noticed that a lot of high street shops have dedicated sections, both online & in-store, to Halloween inspired pieces. Now some of this is just to re-promote the Autumn / Winter items, such as the aforementioned leather, velvet & lace. But most have specially themed Halloween items featuring 'typical' scary motifs, like bats, black cats or ghosts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've rounded up my 'High Street Halloween Must-Haves' from Topshop, New Look, ASOS & Miss Guided. All have a mix of vampy style pieces, spooky beauty bits & seriously cool jewelry!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing I <b>love </b>about these Halloween collections are their names! Ghoul Girls & Creep It Real are brilliant names for the Halloween collections. The second thing I love, of course, is the beauty products on offer. This time last year, I was working with a big make up brand / company, & was exposed to some <b>amazing </b>makeup artistry especially around Halloween. I've been watching an unhealthy amount of YouTube tutorials so hope to look amazing this Halloween. But I am loving the creepy make up on offer this year. From intricate spooky scenes created on eyelashes to creepy nail transfers, you can literally take your Halloween look from face to, erm foot?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I really like everything in my Must Have list, a few pieces really stand out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My <b>ASOS </b>highlights are the Wednesday Adams inspired monochrome dress & the 'Trick or Treat' top that definitely evokes the much loved 'Celine' tees. Highly commended are the tights with glow in the dark knee skulls!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From <b>Miss Guided</b> I really the skeleton-hands-on-the-boobs crop top, cheeky yet creepy & the skeleton body is great too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>New Look </b>for me triumphed with Halloween accessories for me. J'adore the Halloween cupcake kit (how cute?!) Plus the nail transfers and eyeliner stick ons are fun too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From <b>Topshop </b>I love the stick on eyeliner, which I would pair with matte black lips and deathly pale skin (so my natural skin shade really...), & also the bat print. I included the asymmetric skirt, but this print is repeated through the collection on jeans, leggings etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It seems this year Halloween is so much more exciting for me, which is saying something as I've always been excited for Halloween. I'm not sure what's different, but I am <b>so </b>excited this year</div>

Hello All, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Welcome to the second in my Halloween series. Today I'm going to focus on some Halloween makeup.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You may have already seen the M·A·C x Rick Baker collection for Halloween, but it's so amazing I couldn't not feature it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you haven't heard of Rick Baker, you really should have! As a self confessed Horror Film junkie, I'd come across Rick Baker's name before. He is the special effects make up artist behind 'The Exorcist', 'An American Warewolf In London' & he contributed to Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' music video too. Teaming up with M·A·C has proven to be genius, as the collection looks amazing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Based around the concept of 3 Halloween looks specially designed by Rick Baker. The unique collection is made to create three looks a Bride,
a Day of Dead skull and a Zombie. The collection includes Monster FX, Acrylic Paints, Paintsticks, Eyeshadow Palettes, Chromagraphic
Pencils, Set Powder, Penultimate Eye Liner & Chromacake.</div>

Hello All!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being an October baby, & particularly close to Halloween at that, I've always loved & made quite a big deal out of this holiday. In many ways, I like it more than Christmas, because it's full of skulls, black & spooky stuff (aka all the stuff I love) <b>but </b>I still get presents because of my birthday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During October, my blog will be focusing on Halloween, from costume ideas & makeup to decorations & food ideas. I've spent an unhealthy amount of time watching Halloween related tutorials & idea videos on YouTube, so have plenty of posts planned!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I'm not afraid to go all out on Halloween, from fake blood to all out costuming, but I thought I would start the Halloween series with some more wearable, inspired by Halloween outfits. 'Mean Girls' has taught us all that, & I quote "In the real world, Halloween is when kids dress up in costumes and beg
for candy. In Girl World, Halloween is the one day a year when a girl
can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything else
about it", but I've been quite tame with the first installment!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've taken inspiration from characters from Halloween-esque films or series to create outfits suitable for a more sophisticated Halloween celebration.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I've got to say, I would definitely wear all four outfits. Especially the Wednesday Adams one! In fact, the dress & boots are now on my Birthday list...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Beetlejuice, or even Jack Skellington from 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' is a really fun take on Halloween, it's smart but still striking.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Bride of Chuckie is an outfit I'd wear anyway. I love pairing lace with leather, especially light lace. I think it really toughens the look up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Morticia & Wednesday's were obvious choices! I love Morticia's gothic look, & these maxi dresses give the right amount of sexiness & gothicness. I've always loved Wednesday Adam's monochrome look & pig tails. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">All these outfits are Halloween enough but with a sophisticated edge so that you can channel your inner witch. However, I prefer to go all out, which you'll see later this month!</span></div>

Hello All, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm trying to section & define parts of my blog now, & want to expand from just a fashion/ beauty blog to share more of my interests. Recently, I posted about art, which I will continue to do. But this time, it's about a weekend trip I took. Hopefully the first of many 'Wanderlust' post! Let me know if you enjoy it...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
As you may have gathered, I recently went to Paris for the first time as an adult. I’d
been when I was 11, seen the Eiffel Tower & gone to Disneyland. But few
week ago I got to go there again for work at Paris Fashion Week. I felt very ‘Devil
Wears Prada’, determined not to end the trip like Andy Sachs does in the book;
by screaming ‘Fuck you’ at a colleague. I knew it’d be mostly work & maybe
not that much enjoying Paris, but I knew how big this experience was for me
personally & professionally. I’d been wanting to go to Paris for a really, <b>really </b>long time but never managed to
before.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Although I was only going for 3 days, working for 2 of them
& was only taking a very small suitcase, I managed to take a <b>lot </b>of clothes (most of which, admittedly,
I didn’t wear) so packing was a bit of an issue!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Work went amazingly well, & it was so lovely to see your
hard work resulting in such greatness (I’m usually modest but I was incredibly
proud to be part of this) so I had all day Sunday to enjoy the sights of Paris,
albeit while lugging my suitcase, laptop & basically life around with me!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I’d first seen the Eiffel Tower on Saturday night, all light
up and appearing, seemingly, out of no where. I honestly was in a stunned
silence as it was so beautiful. So the first thing I wanted to do was see it in
day light. I found the Metro system really easy to navigate, and wandering
around le gay Paris was just lovely. Only having a day meant I didn’t have time
to queue & go up the Eiffel Tower but seeing it was enough for me! <o:p></o:p></div>

Next stop was , which was so weird seeing in person as I’d
studied the relief sculptures on the front in History of Art. Being on my own meant I had no one to take pictures of
me with the Eiffel Tower, but I just asked someone to take on of me and the L'arc

I had planned to do Louvre & Notre Dame in quick succession,
envisioning not going into the Louvre just seeing the outside. That didn’t
happen, as the arty goodness drew me in. I’ll do Notre Dame next time (I
started planning my next visit on the Eurostar home!). The Louvre was great,
seeing paintings & sculptures I’d learnt about in books in person. I did go
into history of art mode quite a bit, which must have been quite annoying for
me museum buddy, but I was giddy with happiness so I didn’t really care!<o:p></o:p></div>

Too distracted by art, I then had to rush to Gard D’ Nord
for my train back to boring London. I had beautiful weather whilst in Paris, as
you can see from the picture, it was nice enough to not wear tights with my
play suit (I kept it monochrome, as usual, but where more fitting than Paris,
eh?). On the train home, it started to rain though, pathetic fallacy much?<o:p></o:p></div>

I genuinely felt like I’d found my spiritual home in Paris,
I had the most fantastic weekend in my life thus far. I definitely plan to go
back for longer, & not to work! <o:p></o:p></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello All,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Long time no posting I know. I have been so busy with work at London & Paris fashion week (I'll be posting my Paris Fashion Week/ trip post soon so watch this space!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month things should calm down more so I'm hoping to post more regularly and launch my new monthly feature, which I'm very excited for!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
October also sees two of my favoutire things; my Birthday & Halloween! I'll be 20 soon, which is kind of scary as it feel like I have to actually grow up & be an adult! As my birthday falls so close to Halloween, it's always been my favourite holiday, so expect to see some Halloween inspired make-up, outfit & event ideas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But for today's post, I thought I would do a 'Wednesday Wish List' as it's my birthday coming up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRFNS-oZQifxUhxEb_fC1kQLKkfCnUJ79QR8mHCoJWCIBGL6EurDeyhOPNWxaPrYgC52jtgIQze4ZhBIfuDDLwEtvKlHaWu6rTe6sLuJRt5hgJP01SBOHa20M50i9RcC9KW8Vv0aZVcE8/s1600/wishlist.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="532" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRFNS-oZQifxUhxEb_fC1kQLKkfCnUJ79QR8mHCoJWCIBGL6EurDeyhOPNWxaPrYgC52jtgIQze4ZhBIfuDDLwEtvKlHaWu6rTe6sLuJRt5hgJP01SBOHa20M50i9RcC9KW8Vv0aZVcE8/s640/wishlist.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> Clockwise from top left: Black Skort- Amazon | Tartan Dress - Primark | Feline top - eBay | 'Nouveau Grunge' - Zara | Monochrome 'Smile' tote bag - eBay | White Dr. Marten's - Dr. Martens | White Skort - Amazon</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, as usual, it's very monochrome heavy! I tried on a skort in Zara in Paris (I'm not going to stop talking about Paris for at least a month so sorry in advance!) & they are so flattering, so black & white made it onto my wish list. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This tartan dress I first saw on Millie of <a href="http://www.sheheartsthehighstreet.co.uk/" target="_blank">She Hearts The High Street</a> in this <a href="http://sheheartsthehighstreet.co.uk/2013/09/27/designer-double-primarks-saint-laurent-style-tartan-dress/" target="_blank">post</a>. I love red tartan, and this peter pan collar and black bow combined with the flattering shape really appealed to me. Funnily enough, it also appealed to my Nan, who dresses really well! Watch out for a cute Nan & Granddaughter matching dress shot soon ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, two slogan tops. I really like white tops, with black & white imagery/ slogans on them as they can be easily dressed up or down. The 'Feline' one is perfect for a cat lover & a nice play on the very popular on the bloggersphere 'Celine' top. Similarly, the 'Nouveau Grunge' tee is really nice. I don't usually wear white t-shirts, I don't know why. I think they make me look somewhat un-feminine. However having tried this on (again in le gay paris) it is actually a really nice cut and fabric, meaning it hangs nicely. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another 'Celine' inspired item here. Although I do love my Mulberry bag, this monochrome tote bag caught my eye on eBay. They also do a monochrome skull embossed one, but perhaps I should leave my goth girl at home sometimes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last, but by no means least, my number one item on my birthday wish list is a pair of matte white Dr. Marten shoes. I have really disproportionate-to-my-height small feet, a size 4 and I'm 5 foot 6, which is equally good & bad in ways. Bad, because I believe it's the reason I am so clumsy. But good, because it means I can get away with big clumpy shoes yet my dainty little feet don't look monstrously big! I already have a few pairs of Doc's, but these white pair look so cool, I hope I can pull them off!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are all my realistic birthday wish list items, of course on my 'dream' birthday wish list there is a lot of McQueen. A girl can dream eh? I've been really lusting after a McQueen skull scarf for a while now, maybe one day I'll save up and treat myself. I also really like the enamel skull bangle from McQueen too, but both items are very expensive for a scarf & a bracelet, I can't justify it at the moment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As promised, I really will try and post more regularly! Hope you all have a fabulous week...</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello all, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yesterday, my friend Rose & I went to The Fashion Space Gallery, that forms part of London College of Fashion. Presently they are showing `<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px;">Coco Chanel: A New Portrait by Marion Pike, Paris 1967-7`, which being a fashion & Chanel fans caught our attention.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have to say, it was a rather small space. I want expecting anything on a V&A type scale, however it only took about five to ten minutes to complete the whole collection. Nevertheless, the idea & concept is lovely. It is a celebration of the legendary Gabrielle `coco` Chanel and Californian artist Marion Pikes friendship, formed in 1967. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px;">According to The Telegraph<i> </i></span><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4;">The designer had refused Pablo Piccasso's request to paint her portrait, but allowed Pike, whose 1966 portrait of former US president Ronald Reagan covered</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4;"> </span><span class="i" style="border: 0px; color: #333333; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Time</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4;">magazine, to do so.</span></i></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They went on to become great friends and Pike was known for wearing Chanel suits when she wasn't working.</span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Honestly, I hadn't heard of Marion Pike prior to this, but I liked her free, sketchy style.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sorry I was very rubbish & didn't note down the names of the art works. But I think the use of colour & the aforementioned free style to me scream Paris & the pace of life. My only gripe is the earthy, muddy colours. Chanel, for me, is all about the monochrome. </span></div>

Hello all,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoyed London Fashion Week. Even though I've been working flat out for the whole thing for the show I'm involved in, I've enjoyed the reporting from my favourite bloggers! I must say, London Fashion Week is probably my favourite due to it's edgy, rebelious style (closely followed by the beautiful couture creations of Paris!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even though New York & London Fashion Weeks are over, we still have to make way for Milan & the finale in 'le gai Pairs'! This installment of 'Fashion Week Essential' focus' on the more boring items, but necessary none the less.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzS24VPd5_6wwMmxQJ9YZLioed2CXrcxNpy_8mueuSdcNSCcWUatLb2rmnxQ7t90ENGiwz9oI5vvCEiZAySf-GkWKncbLmuNgm6Ko8KcF2UFvaF2_lNMuoREKmHnOs6JXCdIa1HpjdD4k/s1600/techy+stuff.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzS24VPd5_6wwMmxQJ9YZLioed2CXrcxNpy_8mueuSdcNSCcWUatLb2rmnxQ7t90ENGiwz9oI5vvCEiZAySf-GkWKncbLmuNgm6Ko8KcF2UFvaF2_lNMuoREKmHnOs6JXCdIa1HpjdD4k/s640/techy+stuff.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span id="goog_552013352"></span><span id="goog_552013353"></span><br />
<span id="goog_552013352">How boring does this look? Making it was so boring! </span><br />
<span id="goog_552013352"><b>Nevertheless</b>, each item is very much needed for us bloggers!</span><br />
<br />
<span id="goog_552013352">First off, an iPad, Kindle Fire or any other kind of tablet is perfect for blogging on the go. In London at least there were several blogger friendly media lounges or spaces set aside with free WiFi so you can report on the trends as they happen! Tablets are light & easy to use, so much better than lugging a laptop with you. </span><br />
<span id="goog_552013352">A camera is also essential to capture all the fashion week action, from who's on the FROW, to what's the new it silhouette, to snapping some inspirational street style. I haven't got too much advice or knowledge on this subject as I have a very old camera, but I <b>do </b>know that although it may be the case that 'bigger is better' (camera's cheeky!)</span>, I would prefer a smaller, but still decent, camera. Also, even though taking pictures for your blog, or personal use is important, don't get too wrapped up in getting the perfect shot. Make sure you actually <b>watch </b>the show! & not through a lenses, enjoy and embrace the atmosphere of the show.<br />
Phones. Who could live without them now. As a recent convert to the iPhone, I have to say I wouldbe a little lost without it. With maps, emails and internet on the go, you can make your way from show to show with the help of your mobile.<br />
With all this tech-y stuff, you must remember to bring changers! I love this adaptor that has multiple wires to charge lots of different devices. (Do I sound like I know what I'm talking about? I'm probably one of the most technology 'backwards' people around!) <br />
Finally, I kicked it old school & included some batteries. You never know when you might need them I guess!<br />
<br />
Now, because this was very tech-y &, in my opinion, boring(!), I thought I'd 'fashion it up', & include some tech accessories.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDgQdhyphenhyphenQuSzMEAxNFiyLPa_Q57xI2oVj9uczsC9zeunP10JtrkRrjNsly49V8nDt6J-U79djh87VnNvpKamAMzmR0nptvWnvJip-rBjIpazvz_dVVXvxqO0_LTVSNgCgqiGUO3yyvNWM0/s1600/phone+accs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDgQdhyphenhyphenQuSzMEAxNFiyLPa_Q57xI2oVj9uczsC9zeunP10JtrkRrjNsly49V8nDt6J-U79djh87VnNvpKamAMzmR0nptvWnvJip-rBjIpazvz_dVVXvxqO0_LTVSNgCgqiGUO3yyvNWM0/s640/phone+accs.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Clockwise l-r: </b>iPhone Home button stickers- Topshop | Oxblood phone purse- Topshop | Leopard print E-Reader pouch- New Look | iPhone case- Moschino via Net-a-Porter | iPad pouch- Marc by Marc Jacobs | iPad case- Lanvin via Net-a-Porter | Cat Earphones & matching iPhone case- New Look</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The above items will personalise & fashion-ize your tech-y bits. These, as previous posts, are all <b>my </b>style, but ensure you extend your own style to your electrical items.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I love the cute cat accessories from New Look, proof that I will be the crazy cat lady! I added some designer bits, obviously out of my budget but I can admire them from a far!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">So, as the grande finale creeps closer, I have one final 'Fashion Week Essentials' post for you lovely readers, all about paper work & passes. Again, I will balance the boring with the beautiful & keep it fashion based.</span><br />

Hello all</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
#NYFW is now in full swing! Instagram & Twitter are being bombarded with SS14 pictures & updates of what is going to be in vogue in the new year.<br />
Today's post is going to focus on some fashion favourites. Of course, fashion week is about creativity. Look at any fashion blogger or FROW, & you'll see an array of style, from daring to demure. However, there are some items that I believe you should definitely include. In the below collage, I have put together some basic essentials, with a nod towards my own style. These can be tailor made to suit your style or outfits over fashion week!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZAxaQdnMbsLBhyKFHTHBhyphenhyphenysHWBQXwbUMNUMlS9K8gOvivPWBHtia1isRwmeYVDridN-yBUA0F2N6Lkf3uerK2bGevSFGDAv75HhM6dFayHiHWkPdvlKmWcTeJBK9AryJJreNn3GkYJk/s1600/fwfashionessentials.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZAxaQdnMbsLBhyKFHTHBhyphenhyphenysHWBQXwbUMNUMlS9K8gOvivPWBHtia1isRwmeYVDridN-yBUA0F2N6Lkf3uerK2bGevSFGDAv75HhM6dFayHiHWkPdvlKmWcTeJBK9AryJJreNn3GkYJk/s640/fwfashionessentials.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;">Clockwise from topleft: </span></b><span style="font-size: x-small;">Roll up ballet flats- Rollasole | Blazer- New Look | Bowler Bag- Zara | Shopper- Zara | Sunglasses- Topshop | Black tights- Primark | Silver & Black necklace- New Look | Silver necklace- Rock n Rose | Monochrome scarf- Topshop</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">So, as this was <b>my</b> essentials most of the items are black, shock! However, the principle of each item has a reason.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">First off, a pair of roll up ballet flats are absolute essentials to through in your bag to run between shows. Lightweight, simple & plain, these come in a range of colours so you can match them to your outfit. I chose black ones with a tiny skull, because it's me! </span> </span><br />
Next, as I stated in my previous post about beauty essentials, which you can read <a href="http://jadorejadex.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/fashion-week-essentials-1-beauty-bits.html" target="_blank">here</a>, both September & February fashion weeks, in all of the host cities, it is likely to be a little chilly! Including a light jacket or blazer is a good idea. I love this New Look one, as it's a good mix of casual but could also smarten up an outfit too. Of course, chose a jacket that suits your outfit, but I'd say a jacket is a must have.<br />
Having a fairly big bag is essential, not only for all your must haves, but also it's likely you will receive some goodies on your travels, from food to fashion bits. So having a fairly large bag will mean you can throw everything in & be carrier bag free. These two from Zara are plain black & very large. Although I do love a designer bag, sometimes an unbranded bad is also very handy so you can take it to any show without being attached to a certain brand, for example taking a Mulberry bag to a Celine show may not look that great!<br />
As I've previously mentioned, September & February have very temperamental weather, so although it could be cold, you may also have a sunny day, so a pair of sunglasses are a good idea. As you may know, I love the cats eye shape, they suit my face & are timeless.<br />
If you're wearing tights, I think it's a good idea to bring a spare pair, in case of ladders! <br />
My penultimate items are two statement necklaces. I think accessorizing can really change an outfit, so these statement necklaces can glam up a day outfit for night, or just change between shows & make you look appropriate for the show you're attending. I love the RocknRose cuff style silver necklace, it's simple but still makes a statement.<br />
Finally, having a chiffony scarf is again a good idea for the intermittent weather, & similar to the necklaces, it can really change up an outfit.<br />
<br />
Of course, you should also show your style over fashion week & use it as a time to express your personality & creativity. These items are just a basis to help make things most comfortable. For example, chose different colours or styles of flats, bag, scarf and glasses to suit your style & inject some personality to your look.<br />
<br />
Next time I'll be doing a tech essentials post, from camera's to chargers!<br />
Hope you're all enjoying the fashion week reports & even more so if you've attended any shows in New York!!<br />

Hello all</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you probably know, today kicks off the start of Fashion Week SS14. As usual, New York hosts the first week of new season fashion offerings, particularly for sportswear, London follows for edgy, avant-garde design; then Milan for
its over-the-top yet stylish looks; & finally Paris for haute couture. Although each city brings a different climate, culture & catwalk, I thought I would put together a series of 'Fashion Week Essentials'; items that you should carry with you regardless of season or city.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I'm a bit of a beauty obsessive, I decided to kick off with some beauty bits that I think you need over fashion week, all small & light enough to carry with you should you be lucky enough to attend the shows, or if you go along to do a spot of style or celebrity spotting!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAIaCak8HuNC2_IU6IurNqWlidMn0NM3kKh1KU0-ODIRu7vbT5u05F-xee24Wv8S5sgtzT2H8-R99S6eJjqXoMVRC1b-nx2BXQXCdpHAyoQhEqi3o6TyuIQHR19snD_ZZ57E2UwdwdJdY/s1600/FASHIONWEEK+BEAUTY+ESSENTIALS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="562" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAIaCak8HuNC2_IU6IurNqWlidMn0NM3kKh1KU0-ODIRu7vbT5u05F-xee24Wv8S5sgtzT2H8-R99S6eJjqXoMVRC1b-nx2BXQXCdpHAyoQhEqi3o6TyuIQHR19snD_ZZ57E2UwdwdJdY/s640/FASHIONWEEK+BEAUTY+ESSENTIALS.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;">Top Row (l-r): </span></b><span style="font-size: x-small;">MAC Fix+ Travel Sized | Superdrug Antibacterial Hand Gel Travel Sized | Nivea Roll On Deodrant Travel Size | Kleenex Pocket Tissues</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Middle Row (l-r): </b>Kirby Grips | Seamless Hair Bands | Compact Mirror and Brush | Batiste Dry Shampoo Travel Sized</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Bottom Row (l-r): </b>Collection Sheer Loose Powder | Cosmopolitan Retractable Powder Brush | Carmex Cherry Lip Balm | Topshop Lip Bullet in 'Rockabilly'</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Because September fashion week follows straight on from </span> </span>the summer break, travel sizes are still available, which are the perfect size & weight to pop into your bag. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
M.A.C Fix+ is a great makeup fixer, but also a quick spritz will refresh your face. Traveling from venue to venue, often on public transport will expose you to germs aplenty, so I would always pack some antibacterial hand gel, again in a travel size, & on hot subways / underground, deodorant is a must! Roll on is, supposedly, much better for you than spray, so I chose that. Tissues are handy too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hair must haves include clips & hair bands (make sure you opt for bands without a metal join as these damage your hair) to transform & tame your tresses. This Denman compact hair brush & mirror is small but useful. Finally, travel size dry shampoo is great to refresh your hair & give you some volume.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Choosing only a couple of makeup bits were hard, <b>but </b>I managed to whittle it down to only the pieces you will actually use. It's all well & good bringing eyeshadow palettes & full makeup bags with you every day, but when I thought about what I actually ever use when I'm out & about, these were the most obvious. Even though it'll be September or February, running from show to show & sitting close together in the catwalks will no doubt make you a little shiny! Collections loose powder is lightweight but will take away the shine. Use with this retractable powder brush, that's compact & clean. As both September & February fashion weeks occur in Autumn or Winter, looking after chapped lips is essential; I love Carmex lip balm & find tubes or stick lip products a lot more hygienic than pots, like Vaseline. Finally, having a red lip crayon in your bag means you can instantly add some glamour to your look, or take you from daytime shows to late night after show parties. Topshop lip crayons aren't too drying & are hugely pigmented.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next time I'll be putting together some fashion essentials, followed by tech essentials! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hello all</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm in the midst of a very busy week, including <b>3 </b>interviews (!) Having applied to lots over the summer & hearing nothing, I had pretty much accepted that I hadn't succeeded. Yet this past week I've scheduled in three! Fingers crossed!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This 'J'adore...' post is about the new launches Barry M have later this month. Barry M are one of my favourite drugstore brands, in terms of cost & quality. I have lots of their products already, however when I received an emailing outlining the new products they are offering for AW'13, I couldn't wait to share it with you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all their new nail polishes. Most of my nail polishes are from Barry M. This isn't an exaggeration. I would say over half of all my polishes are Barry M, from regular to the effects, I have a range of them. What I love about them is their colour range, which is extensive, but also their range of textures & finishes. Their first new launch is a collection of matte finish polishes. I love matte nails, & they were seen all over the catwalk for AW. In 5 winter appropriate shades, I am so excited to try these out! I already have a matte top coat, however it can be hard to ensure the entire nail is covered,which can result in shiny patches. Having a matte finish nail polish solves this! My favourite shades are Espresso, Crush & Vanilla.</div>

‘Espresso’ (Black MNP1), </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Vanilla’ (Pink Nude MNP4), </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Mocha’ (Medium Brown MNP5), </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">‘Caramel’ (Light

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">The next product I'm excited for are the eye & cheek palettes. I recently reviewed the B. Smokey Eye Palette, which you can read <a href="http://jadorejadex.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/b-smokey-eye-palette-review-swatch.html" target="_blank">here</a>. However, I believe you can never have enough palettes! They are great if you travel a lot & you can create such a range of looks without carting your entire makeup collection with you. There are three palettes being launches later this month, 'Glamour Puss', 'Smokin Hot' & 'Natural Glow', however I will be focusing on the latter two. </span></span></div>

With a range of natural, & from what I can see, matte<b> </b>shadows this is a lovely little eye shadow collection, paired with a light pink blush. I'm excited to try this out!</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>£6.49</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Although I recently reviewed another smokey eye palette, it's a look that I really like so trying out new ones is always of interest to me. These 6 shades are a mix of matte and shimmer. I especially like the look of the third shade. The peachy blush may be too strong for me but I will have a try.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b> </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Both palettes come with a large mirror & 2 double ended eyeshadow applicators. This, along with 6 shadows & 1 blush, is really good for only £6.49!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b> </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">These are my favourite picks of the launch, which will also include a new mascara & foundation line.

Hello all</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those of you who have seen R.J. Cutler’s fly on the wall documentary “The September Issue”, a film which shows the making of the biggest issue of Vogue ever, may recgonise the title of this post. Candy Pratts Price, Fashion Editor of American Vogue, said in the film; “September is the January in Fashion”. This, along with the title of the film, demonstrates just how important September is to the fashion industry. As Fashion Week takes place in September, often people see it has a 'new begninning'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLsJKi4irGeKIA97fUqgBqW0zsvavLqdO8-z8DANNb8w7QrA_nyYkw3v-kYUrljBO5N__Og9jZHIxBvy-CLPUYDBOpeiy20eC2BK7b7F_p5zoDzJ5dzdVaM3fYvxeFuUHc1HoeR5wbMRU/s1600/thestilettoeffecttheseptemberissue1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="528" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLsJKi4irGeKIA97fUqgBqW0zsvavLqdO8-z8DANNb8w7QrA_nyYkw3v-kYUrljBO5N__Og9jZHIxBvy-CLPUYDBOpeiy20eC2BK7b7F_p5zoDzJ5dzdVaM3fYvxeFuUHc1HoeR5wbMRU/s640/thestilettoeffecttheseptemberissue1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, it's not just in the fashion industry that people view September as a kind of 'new year'. Schools begin their new year in Septmeber & in a previous job of mine, I found out that sales often increase in Septmeber & it's the perfect time to launch a product as people are looking to start afresh or try new things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am defnintely viewing September as my new begninng. I have some exciting projects coming up, that I'm sure I will reveal on here once everything is confirmed, & I'm trying to have a fresh start. For me, September is a good time to begin. My birthday is in October so that means I have a month trial and settle into my changes before I become another age, the weather is still fairly nice & the beginning of Autumn, my favourite season & finally, this year I have gone through a lot of bad stuff & I finally just want to move on & start again. So instead of waiting for January, & influenced by watching 'The September Issue' whilst reading September Vogue, I decided that I would really try this month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I thought I would share with you some of my new year projects & plans!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Second season of working on LFW! I have the oppourtunity to work on London Fashion Week later this month & I am so excited. Having one season already under my belt, I feel a lot more confident about this season & promise to document it much better than I previously did. It will be at Vauxhall Fashion Scout, so I'm excited to see some up & coming desingers, but also hope to have a quick stop at Somerset House too.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. I have an internship with a fabulous magazine upcoming that is such an amazing opportunity & will hopefully help me land a perminent position eventually.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. I'm setting up a YouTube channel! After debuting on Millie's, of <a href="http://sheheartsthehighstreet.co.uk/" target="_blank">She Hearts The High Street,</a> channel in August, I've been getting together some filming equipment & organising a nice backdrop so I aim to have my first solo video this Saturday coming!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. I have an idea for a weekly or bi-weekly feature that I can't wait to start. It will involve quite a bit of research & will combine a few of my different interests. It is something I am really enthusiastic about & I am finally going to commit to. Also, another plan is to post far more regularly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do have some other excitment in the pipline but as I said previously, I want more confirmation & certainty beore I let you all know!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hello all</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently my beautiful friend Lara treated me to this B. Smokey Eye Palette from Superdrug, available <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/b/b-complete-eyeshadow-palette-smokey-grey-200/invt/492951&bklist=" target="_blank">here</a>. I have been on the look out for a really good grey smokey eye palette for a while, reading lots of reviews to see which would be best for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unlike most beauty bloggers, I do not own the Naked or Naked 2 palettes. Shock horror! The reason for this is that I am not really a fan of brown based smokey eyes, or metallic/shimmery eyeshadows, both of which are present in the Naked palettes. I am aware that Naked Basics are all matte shades, however they too are brown based. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was toying with the Bourjois smokey eye palette, available <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/bourjois/bourjois-smokey-trio-eyeshadow-gris-party/invt/522851&bklist=" target="_blank">here</a>, as it is incredibly similar to the Chanel 'Les 4 Ombres' Smokey Eye palette due to the fact that Chanel & Bourjois are made in the same factory. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, I sent Shelley of '<a href="http://the-shelley-diaries.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Shelley Diaries</a>' this smokey eye palette from B. in Superdrug & thought it was really good. Having two matte shades & two shimmery shades, & at a really reasonable price, I thought it ticked all my boxes. Added to this, all B. products are <b>not tested on animals. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I was really pleased with the swatches. The shades are pigmented enough, with build-ability to create a softer or more dramatic look. I am impressed with the matte white as it even shows up on my pale skin! The silver shadow has just about the amount of shimmer I can handle, & is very pigmented. There is only a subtle difference between the darker shades, but it is noticeable. All in all, this palette is the perfect mix of four shades to create a grey toned smokey eye, as I did in the pictures below!</span></span></div>

I created quite a soft smokey eye with this palette and the shades really blended well together. I used the matte white all over the lid, matte grey on the outer two thirds of the eye & dark grey shimmer shadow on the outer corner & slightly through the crease. I really loved this palette & will definitely be using it for more dramatic smokey eyes in the future!</div>

I also hope to try more B. products, especially the Micellar Water. I'd also like to thank Lara for kindly buying this for me :)</div>
