a fashion TAG.

I don't believe I've ever done a fashion tag before. Well I just watched one on youtube and totally got inspired. Enjoy.

How would you describe your style?

My style is...frikkin weird! I'm kind of a hipster but with a twist, because I also like to stay on trend with what I wear. I also dress like I don't give a damn, but I am mostly quite put together. Okay...shall we say a trendy hipster? Yeah, I'll go with that. Next question!

What are your wardrobe staples?

Thick, black leggings. Almost anything looks good with thick black leggings. Also, a baggy knitted jumper and an oversized, off-the-shoulder black top...bam!

What is your most expensive item of clothing anything?

Can this be an accessory? I'm making this an accessory. I would have to say it is a Gucci bag that was given to me by my mother.

What is your most wanted item of clothing?

A bomb ass 'Obey' jumper and a 'Comme des fuckdown' beanie. My hipster-resisting self will not allow me to jump on making these purchases.

 What is your favourite designer?

This changes all the time with me, especially as new collections are showcased. An all time favourite though has to be Alexander McQueen. It's always so dramatic and OTT but the clothes stay so chic...love it, amazing.

How much do you spend on clothes?

A ton! I've been very good recently though...no secret online shopping orders or random buys during my lunch break. Let's see how long it lasts.

Where are your favourite places to shop?

Anyone who knows me will know that most items of clothing in my wardrobe come from Dorothy Perkins. Primark is my go-to store for basic essentials, and Zara is becoming my new favourite place for awesome accessories. Mostly bags...I love bags.

Go-to outfit when you have nothing to wear?

Baggy jumper, leggings, leather jacket and Converses. All black everything.

Favourite fashion magazines?

It appears I collect Elle. But seriously, I love the way that Elle is laid out and the writing is amazing (nerd moment). I also buy the occasional Vogue USA if it is a special edition or if someone awesome is on the cover.

Short and sweet.

No-one really tags people on blogs do they? Anyway, if you're cool enough and haven't already, do the tag. Comment below with your link so I can see your answers. I think that's why I like tags...I'm nosey.

a beauty TAG.

So I was kind of stuck for blog posts and had no idea what to do, but I was watching a youtube video of a current beauty tag and thought…how about a blog tag?

I attacked google with a search of different beauty blog tags and found a few interesting ones, but what I’ve done is combined a few of the questions and added a few.

So here it is, a beauty TAG.

any kind of black shade, I’m all about a dark, smoky eye.

mostly a liquid liner, but jumbo eye pencils are really good too.

not yet, but if there is something I really want that I can’t get, eBay is always the first place I look.

yes, but unfortunately for my bank account, I like high end makeup a little more.

I’m all for a natural look, so neutral all the way.

18. If you could leave the house using just ONE make up item, what would you use?
foundation.

19. Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?
yup. I didn't really start using makeup till I was about 18, so I did it for many years.

20. In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?
gotta say MAC because that’s what I mostly own.

21. What do you think of makeup??
I do like makeup as it covers up any imperfections and makes me feel confident about my skin. I’ve never been a fan of too much makeup though. Unless it’s for a special occasion, I feel that any makeup used should just enhance the features we already have, not change them.

I will personally tag a few people on their blogs or via twitter.

PLEASE feel free to answer the questions on your own blog. If you do, leave a comment below and I’ll check it out. And also, let me know of any other beauty or fashion tags floating around the internet…I love a good tag.

you’ve been TAGGED, jayj x.
