'Blush like a schoolgirl or flourish like an English rose'

While flicking through the latest Vogue, a shoot featuring Cara Delevingne really caught my eye. The look titled 'Pink Lady' includes beautiful pastel pinks but in contrasting Autumn/Winter pieces. Although I'm normally into my dark purples and greys in the coming season I really loved the idea behind this and picked out some of my favourite blush-coloured items on the high-street (all links below)


- Puffball dress
- Fluffy jumper
- Short coat
- Longline coat
- Patent skirt
- Studded heels

- Necklace
- Playsuit
- Jumper
- Body shirt
- Midi skirt
-Gold toe heels

Let me know what you think!

Hey guys!

Although I post a lot of style/fashion on here I do have a love for interior design! I express my love mainly over on my Pinterest where I have a board dedicated to all things home!

(If you guys have a pinterest account let me know and I'll check it out!)

For those of you who haven't heard of this before, The Leibster Award is a tag on the blogger network that helps blogs who have under 200 followers get noticed ... what a brilliant idea!

I was lucky enough to be tagged by the lovely Paige at http://echoesinyourheart.blogspot.co.uk

The basic rules are:

The questions Paige made for her nominees answered by me are:

1. What inspired you to start blogging?

I've been reading blogs for over 2 years now and always turn to them for inspiration, whether its for fashion, beauty or even interior ideas. I felt I'd love to put myself and my ideas out there and get involved in the blogging community. I've also been inspired by various YouTubers.

2. How did you come up with your blog name? 

It's pretty simple... my middle name is Melissa, my first initial is A and my last initial is B :)

3. Are you more of a fashion person or a beauty person?

Definitely fashion! Fashion, to me, is most important and is something I am passionate about. Not necessarily the fashion world but more style. I am interested in beauty but fashion takes 1st place.

4. Foundation or BB Cream? Which do you prefer?

Foundation!

5. If you could hang out with one youtuber / blogger who would it be?

Aaaah this is a hard one! I've followed Uglyfaceofbeauty/ Gracie on YouTube for a long time now and I LOVE her style. Plus she seems really down to earth and genuinely lovely! :)

6. Who is your fashion icon?

Alexa Chung...everday

7. What is your favourite food? 

Hmmm...I'd have to pick a meal which would have to be a roast dinner haha..otherwise I'd say pizza!

8. Nights out or nights in? Which do you prefer? 

Although I am 18...I'd have to say nights in (does this make me boring? :-o)

9. What's you favourite clothing brand? 

I shop mainly highstreet...I'd say Zara!

10. What was the last film you saw in cinema? 

I haven't been to the cinema in AGES! I'd say Taken 2?

11. What is your favourite make-up brand?

Drugstore i'd say Rimmel London, High-end I'd say Mac ... I think aha!

Hope you've all got to know me a little more!
