Being a 21st Century girl is tough! We are always on the go and that means we dont always have time to spend hours perfecting our look. These few products are small enough to fit in your make up bag, thrown in your day bag and can be applied on the go and touched up as and when you need, although they are all long lasting and never let me down through my day at work-and working in retail can get hot and stressful, if my make up can withstand that then it can withstand anything!

My TOPSHOP Sale Must Haves

Working in Topshop I've spent a lot of time sorting out the sale and this means I've also had a lot of time to browse the sale. This isn't ideal for my bank balance, but its been great for my wardrobe and with such a big discount on so many pieces I really cant complain.

I've put together a selection of my favorite pieces which you can shop by clicking any of the images below.

If you are looking for some 2018 style inspiration, I have also included four outfits covering a variety of trends so there is something for everyone.

BLOGMAS DAY 11-MY BIRTHDAY, & LONDON SHOPPING IN THE SNOW!

L O N D O N S H O P P I N G, B I R T H D A Y C E L E B R A T I O N S & S N O W!

BLOGMAS DAY #11 THE MOST MAGICAL BIRTHDAY

Happy Blogmas day 11 Lovelies!

Today IS MY BIRTHDAY.

To celebrate I took the day off work, and traveled up to London to do some shopping, visit cute, cafes, and enjoy all the festive feels! It was honestly the most magical day-as we shopped in Harrods it was snowing. I felt like I had stepped out of a book or film. I couldn't believe how perfect it was.

We started off the day visiting Peggy Porschen Cakes-Is this not the most Instagram worthy cafe on the planet!? With snow falling and the most stunning Christmas decorations surrounding me, I sipped on spiced apple tea.

NEON-Loving a pop of colour, and certainly not one to shy away from adding colour to my wardrobe but neon, it just doesn't work for me. Pale skin really doesn't lend itself to incredibly strong neon colours so this trend will be staying safe in my stationary draw, taking the form of some bloomin' great scented highlighters.

WHITE BOOTS- Chic and cool and one I wish would suit my size 6 feet. Alas god didn't bless me with the smallest of feet. A pair of white boots just doesn't do a size 6 any favors when it comes to trying to look petit. Therefor I will be keeping this as a trend I admire but maybe dont wear.

VINTAGE FLORAL-A trend I love but have overdone. Instead this fall I'm far more into check, and pop art block colour pieces-just as long as they arent neon!

DUVET COAT-This is one I feel I should love as I'm permanently cold. But I just feel like a spaceman every-time I put on a super padded coat.

METALLIC-This is a super futuristic trend, and looks great styled with space buns and pastel colours, but for me its not a trend that I shop that often.

What do you make of these trends? Will you be wearing them this autumn or giving them a miss?Comment below!

#Feminism

Lets talk GIRL POWER.
I am well aware that the majority you lovely lot who read my blog, are fellow gals, and its through the power and strength of strong women we have come so far with feminism.

Poppy Apparel have a fab #Feminism range on their online shop, where you can shop using isobellejane10 for 10% off the entire store, with free worldwide shipping. This range is really important and something I wanted to highlight. .

My Top Picks from the Range:

GIRL POWER FEMINISM TEE-14

BREAST TEE-£10 (sold out)

DON'T COMPARE TEE-£13

NEVERTHELESS SHE PERSISTED TEE-£14 (sold out)

What Feminism Means to Me:

In summery it boils down to:

Equality
Freedom
Building each other up, not knocking each other down

Equality. in that a woman or man should be able to take time off work, stay at home, look after the children, and do any job, or sport they like. Sex should NOT be a barrier.

Freedom. Both men and women should be able to vote, get to the top of a company and put their views forward without fear of being persecuted or shut down because of their sex.

I think its so important as women, to celebrate each others achievements, not feel jealous or compare ourselves, but just to enjoy another women's success and do our best to be strong independant women too.

Areas where #Feminism still needs to develop...

I personally feel out syntax and lexis is highly sexist both towards male and female why do you have to 'fight like a man' and 'cry like a girl'?

Women in top roles, according to catalyst:

'One third (33%) of global businesses had no women in senior management roles, a number which has not changed since 2011'.

Topshop New In-Top Picks

September is the start of the new academic year, and its also the start of the new season. Welcome to the shops pumpkin spice lattes, cable knit cardies and Yellow?

Yes, Yellow is making a statement this season and I have picked out a few of my favourite pieces to give you an idea of how you can incorporate the colour into your style.

1. Ruth Allen Art Print
2.Mulberry Small Amberly Satchel-Add this to a monochrome outfit to add that pop of colour, or offset this piece with a bright red jumper for a bright and cheerful fall style.
3. Vanessa Hudgens is bringing out all the trends in this outfit; with her cropped burnt yellow sweater, stripped 7/8th trousers and finishing it off with a pair of wedges.
4. Emma Stone is showing off just how you can incorporate yellow in your outfit with a pop of colour in her brogues. You can make comfort fashionable!
5.Yellow shirts are scary and something the majority of us struggle to pull off. But if you can rock a burnt yellow Tee then go for it. Its the colour of the season.

What are your thoughts on yellow? Will you be rushing out to buy this trend or leaving it to the celebs?

Happy Autumn Lovelies.

Ashley Olsen, Bella and Gigi Hadid, and Kendall Jenner are at the top of the game when it comes to style. So what have they been wearing in the transition from summer to fall?

The answer?
White Boots.

These boots have been seen in fashion shows on the high-street and you can guarantee you will be seeing them entering the shops this autumn.

Where can you get yours?

Brand Outlet
Forever 21
Net a Porter
TopShop
Nasty gal
What do you make of White Boots as a trend? Will you be getting a pair for this season change, or leave this one to the celebs?

This autumn winter look out for red, it was all over the catwalks and is making a fashion comeback in a big way.

One style tip its so important to remember when transitioning seasons is to use the next season colours and patterns in the current seasons texture.

Summer season is all about lighter fabrics and off the shoulder bardot, by mixing these with next seasons hot colour you are acknowledging both. Look out for pieces that combine a nod to both seasons and you'll be right on trend.
If you are anything like me you will already be going mad in the shops, looking out for the perfect pieces to make up your autumn winter wardrobe and red is making a big comeback...which I love!

This play-suit from zaful is my baby at the moment, I love it and its so perfect for the change in season. Accessories make an outfit, so I paired it with a hand piece and a 3 tier necklace...who else is loving layering their jewellery at the moment? I really recommend having a look at their pieces they are incredibly affordable and right on trend, shipping is fast and the products I've received have been great quality and fit to size!

What trends have you loved from spring summer and what are you looking forward to wearing in Autumn Winter?

WTF Friday Cullots and Trousers

When someone says the word culotte to me I just think back to my days as a brownie. Anyone else who like me was a proud brownie for most of their childhood will remember the beautiful brown culottes that we had to wear...I wasn't a fan then and NEVER did I think these alien shorts that looked like a skirt make it into fashion. BUT...this summer trousers and culottes are right on trend and I have to admit, its a trend I absolutely LOVE.

Today I've scouted out my top three pieces from ZARA, let me know what you think!

ZARA

Zara is my no.1 go to for affordable fashion and they dont dissapoint on the trouser front. I recently bought a pair of 7/8th polkadot trousers in zara for just £10!! They have so many lovely pieces in there at the moment.

Which are you favourites?

WTF Friday: Dress Burgundy

I am bringing a new series to my blog called Whats The Fashion Friday (WTF Friday-see what I did there). Today's theme is dress burgundy. Anyone who knows me knows I am a huge fan of burgundy... my friend recently came back from Spain with friendship bracelets for my group of friends, with a different colour for each of us, and of course mine was the burgundy one. As burgundy is so on trend this summer I have been working through the Zaful website to find my favourite burgundy pieces and have selected my top 3:

NO.1

Play-suits/Rompers are so on trend at the moment and I love them! This one is perfect for summer 2017 with off the shoulder sleeves and a neck band....anyone else obsessed with this trend? Every top I currently wear is off the shoulder I find it so flattering. This play-suit is also perfect for anyone looking to draw in their waist, with a tie to draw you in and break up the outfit. Flares are also a massive must have this season and the flared sleeves on this romper make it right on style.
You could easily dress this up with a gold choker, earrings and heals,or casual it up with a pair of sandals, a material choker and sunnies.

Zaful have kindly given my readers a 10% discount, so if you fancy styling this piece use the code below! If you do get this piece please send me a pick to show me how you style it I love to see everyone's individual styles. I'm thinking I may wear this to my cousins wedding party next month!

NO.2

For my second choice, I have picked this gorgeous off the shoulder dress. This is definitely the simplest of the three items I've picked out but its still so in style. This is the perfect dress for a sunny day, layered over your fave bikini with a pair of bright sandals and sunnies. dressed like this are the perfect canvas to pair with bright pattered accessories, and I'd definitely recommend a bright belt round the waist to draw you in at the middle. The sleeves are again flared and I love the simple cut out design!

NO.3

My third piece is a maxi dress, this meets so many trends in one piece, what more could you want. Not only is it off the shoulder but floral are also big in this summer. Due to being a large floral print, you can so easily accessories this piece with very simple jewellery. I love layered necklaces with an off the shoulder neckline, and lots of rings. You could pair this piece easily with a pair of burgundy or fawn strappy sandals, or take it into the evening with a pair of heals and an arm cuff.

I'd love to know what you think of the pieces in this post, send me any pics if you style any of the above! Also contact me if you have any requests for trends to be covered in another WTF Friday post! Hope you have an amazing Friday!
