Yves Saint Laurent - Style Is Eternal Exhibition

As a huge fan of any high fashion designer, I couldn't miss out on the opportunity to visit one of the most influential designer's exhibitions this October. 
The Bowes Museum and Fondation Pierre BergĂ© - Yves Saint Laurent collaborated to create Yves Saint Laurent Style Is Eternal, the first exhibition in the UK to show a comprehensive selection of the French designer's work and I have to say it was pretty impressive. 
After the first initial disappointment of only seeing 5 of his designs, the 2 sided exhibition turned my feelings upside down, by displaying a wide range of his most wacky but also most sophisticated creations, cleverly put together over the course of his extremely successful career in the 'fashion spotlight'.
I couldn't help myself but take photo after photo, and my camera is now full of fabulous fashion, designed by the inspiration that is, Yves Saint Laurent.
(Prepare for the overload of photographs)
Enjoy!

What Fashion Means To Me


Fashion can be interpreted in a number of different ways. What you wear and how you wear it isn't just an everyday, get up and get dressed routine, it defines who you are as a person, shapes your personality, and becomes a part of your life that is so important, that without even realising, you are paying much more attention to what you wear everyday than you think. 
...
For all those get up and go, early birds, full of energy in the morning, I commend you. Having the motivation to open my eyes, wiggle my way out of bed (which seems way more comfy than it did the night before) and start my day is something I definitely struggle with. But the one aspect of my morning routine that truly makes me want to start my day is the idea of opening up the door to my wardrobe, browsing the sea of fabric on each and every hanger and carefully choosing my attire for the day ahead. 
What I choose to wear in the morning is a picture of who I am as a person, what my personality is and reflects my mood every single day. My indecisive side wants me to change outfit combinations constantly. That doesn't go, it's too cold to wear that, am I too casual, or am I trying to hard? The questions go on and honestly, questions are what makes fashion the amazing phenomenon it is today. 
...
I find myself constantly picking up new trends, whether they are from magazines, celebrities, high street stores or friends, I know that a new style is always around the corner, and I love it! The idea of fashion evolving over time, becoming different in the future, or bringing back styles from the past is such an overwhelming yet so exciting phenomenon and that is why it is inspiring so many people around the world to let their minds step into the craze and discover the ever changing world of the fashion industry.
...
Photography, journalism, styling, designing, selling, promoting. The list goes on for the vast amount of ways in which fashion is changing the world and the way we think. Every single day, the fashion industry are influencing so many people to achieve their dreams whether that is working within the fashion industry itself, or something completely different, fashion has a huge impact on how people live their lives. Sportswear or Office wear, Formal or Casual, Grunge or Girly. We may not always know it, but every style is influencing our day to day lives by shaping who we are as people. What we see in the shops, be it jeans, shoes, handbags or jewellery, makes us think about our mood and personality. We buy what we wear because we enjoy it, we are confident within ourselves when we wear it, we are who we want to be when we put on that piece of clothing or accessory, making the diverse range of individuals we see every day unique, all over the world. 
...
Fashion has changed the way we see everything. Fashion is art, business, personal and something everyone has a connection with, whether they know it or not.
It is all around us, we see it every day, and fashion is shaping people to be who they are today. 
 ...
That is what it means to me, but..
What does fashion mean to you?

Little Black Dress

The little black dress is a staple piece in every girl's wardrobe, its so versatile and classy and can be worn to so many events!
...
I recently attended a party and I picked up this number in River Island for £35 and I LOVE it!
The midi style is very in and looks perfect with a pair of heeled sandals with an ankle strap.The bodycon style paired with a draped neckline made me want to buy this dress instantly. The spaghetti straps finish of this dress beautifully and it will suit any figure perfectly!
 

...
I paired this dress with a pair of heels I picked up from Saints and Sinners for only £24.99!
The ankle strap slims and elongates your legs and the alligator print with the gold gives them a bit of detail, perfect for any outfit!

Hope you enjoyed reading! How do you style your little black dress?

Happy Easter! & A New Look For Megan's Style Diary!


Happy Easter everybody! I hope everyone has had a lovely Easter weekend, I definitely have! Just wanted to give you all another quick update (sorry its nothing special) to let you know what has been happening with my blog! I am currently working on several posts that will be uploaded very soon so that is to look forward to! But for now I just wanted to let you know what has been happening! Enjoy!
...
So if you didn't already know, I have been searching for a new template for my blog for quite a while now and it was proving to be much harder than I originally thought it would be! Choosing a template hasn't been the problem, editing it however has not been so easy and since I go for the free templates, I have found it quite difficult! Why do they have to come with annoying little extras that you just can't get rid of!?
...
BUT I think I have finally found the template for me! I stumbled across the template I have now about a week ago and I have to say I am really liking it! 
I love the way my most recent blog posts are shown on the homepage in a grid layout, making it so much easier to navigate around and see what I have uploaded. I hope this makes it a lot more pleasurable for everyone reading and a lot easier to find what you are looking for!
 ...
Editing has been a dream up to now and I am hoping it will stay this way because I think this template is perfect for what I want my blog to look like!
The colours are neutral and sophisticated, the layout is easy to navigate and I really think my blog looks so much better than it did when I first started out!

 Just a little update about my blog, boring I know, but I do like to keep you updated, since random changes have been quite regular up until now!
If you like my new template and fancy trying it out for your own blog or website click here

Let me know what you think about my new layout in the comments! I would love to know what you think and any feedback on how to make 'Megan's Style Diary' even better for my readers is more than welcome! 

Thank You for reading!

Little Mix All About The Eyes Eye Shadow Palette by Collection Review!


I was in desperate need of a new eye shadow palette and when I stumbled upon this the other day in boots, I had to have it! This is an amazing product for people who don't want to spend ridiculous amounts, so it is perfect for a reluctant spender like me! At only £2.99 its a steal and I have to say it is such an amazing quality eye shadow for the price! 
...
I am a massive fan of the smoky eye and all things brown, gold and black when it comes to my eye shadow colours. However I am so fussy about the product and as a result it takes me FOREVER to choose the one I want! But this is, I have to say, perfect for me! With just the right amount of shimmer and pigment, this makes my makeup look so much better! 
... 
The palette comes with 6 colours and they are all so beautiful! They are neutral shades of light to dark and the colours are gorgeous when blended! 

This is the look that I wear with this palette using 4 of the six colours. All over the lid I applied the shimmery gold third from the left called Golden Sand. I then took the darkest brown called Cocoa Dream and blended it from the outside corner inwards and into the crease. I then took the black called Blackbird and lined my upper lash line and then Cocoa Dream again to line my lower lash line. Finally I lined my water line and the inner corners of my eye with the cream colour called Feather to brighten my eyes. Mascara pulls the whole look together to finish off! 
I am really loving this eye shadow palette and the price just makes it even better! This is perfect for creating an everyday or night time makeup look, therefore it is so versatile for any person! 
I definitely recommend this product to everyone looking for an eye shadow palette but not looking to break the bank! I'll be purchasing this again without a doubt! LOVE LOVE LOVE! 
...
I hope you enjoyed reading and I would love to know what you guys think of this makeup look in the comments below!
...
Just to finish off, I would like to give my friend Lauren's blog a mention! She has recently started her fashion, beauty and lifestyle blog called 'The Naked Minimalist' and I definitely think it is worth the read! So go and check it out and give her big welcome to the blogger community here!

Thank you for reading!

Outfit Of The Day, Bye Bye March!

Hello everybody! So sorry I haven't posted in quite a while now! I have been super busy with college so blogging has had to go on hold for a couple of weeks but I'm hoping to get posting more regularly now, especially since I am off for two weeks!

Ok so this post is something I haven't done before and I have been putting it off for so long now, so today I thought would be the day to finally do an 'Outfit of the day' post for you guys!  
I have taken these pictures myself and I do quite like them like this for now. However I am sure I will eventually pluck up the courage to get someone else to take them at a more 'proffesional' standard. But I hope you enjoy this post and my very first outfit of the day!

This leather jacket is a new piece in my wardrobe and I love it! It's by Henry Holland and its a wardrobe staple that pulls together any outfit! 
 My jumper is from The Sting in London and is definitely one of my favourites! The cream colour means its great for both autumn, winter and spring and looks great with any jeans or leggings! The jeans I am wearing are the Joni Super High Waisted Jeans in the colour blue black by Topshop. These are so versatile and great all year round!
I am in love with these shoes! They are so cute with any outfit and believe it or not they are from George! I love them! 
My watch is by Olivia Burton and as soon as I saw it I had to have it! The brown leather and Rose Gold go perfectly and its a gorgeous accessory to go with any outfit! 
I never leave the house without my Pandora rings! The first is my birth stone and the other two I stack, as the pink on both matches so well! Love love love! 


So that's my first outfit of the day post! I hope you liked it and let me know what you think in the comments below! 

Thank you for reading!

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer Review!

Now this concealer has to be one of the most popular concealers out there and its definitely shown up in many many blog posts by lots of people, so I am going to add to that collection of reviews and write my own! 

There is only one word that can describe this concealer and that is PERFECT! 
No I'm not exaggerating. In my eyes its the best concealer out there and for such an amazing price! 
I saw this and tested it against a few different brands and thought I would try it out. This was the best decision ever, because now I absolutely love it! 
It is a liquid concealer and it covers EVERYTHING beautifully! I have it in number 2 Cool Medium and all my blemishes, dark circles, skin imperfections are instantly perfected in a few seconds! 
This has to be my new must have item in my makeup collection because it has transformed my makeup looks and without the heart stopping price tag! 

At only £4.19 from Boots I definitely recommend this to everyone looking to perfect their makeup looks! 

LOVE LOVE LOVE! 

What has been your favourite makeup item lately? Let me know, I would love to check them out!

This or That Tag


So I have been tagged by the lovely Amy (AmyDitsyLou) to do the This or That tag! Go and check out her blog here 

Ok so the questions... 

1. High end or drug store? 
Well I would have to say, it really depends on what piece of makeup it is. I like high end foundation because as you probably know already I use Bare Minerals. But.. any other makeup like mascara, eye shadow, lipstick, drugstore is more my cup of tea! If I had the money, high end makeup would probably have a larger part of my makeup collection, but at the moment I love drugstore cosmetics! 

2. Straight or Curly hair? 
This is a hard one! I don't usually straighten or curl my hair, I leave it natural which is fairly straight so i would have to say straight. Curling my hair does take a long time since I have so much of it! But I do love curling it when I go out or for a special occasion! 

3. Summer or Winter? 
Definitely winter! I love wrapping up warm and wearing boots and jumpers and coats! Snowy and frosty days are the best! Summer isn't really a season I have loved, although summer outfits are cute, I never feel completely confident wearing them! So winter all the way! 

4. Coffee or Tea? 
Well I absolutely love both! But I would have to say tea. I can't go a day without having a cup of tea! I do love a cappuccino though! 

5. Late night or Early morning? 
Without a doubt late night! I am definitely not a morning person, I would much rather stay up late and get up late! 

6. TV or YouTube? 
This is also a hard question! I think I watch more TV than Youtube since there are so many shows that I love! But I love watching Youtube Videos just as much as there is always something to watch! 
I actually can't choose one, I love them both equally! 

7. North or South? 
Well I live in the North West but I would have to say the places I love most are further south, so I think it has to be South! Although I do love staying in Scotland and places further North! 

8. Heels or Flats?
I tend to wear flats a lot more than heels. Flats are a lot comfier i find for everyday wear but I really do love wearing a pair of heels to go out! 

9. Night in or Night out? 
Without a doubt Night in! I have always been the person to stay at home in my pj's, with food and film! 

10. Save or Spend? 
I do actually save my money quite well! I am one of those people who don't like spending money! If I am going to buy something I have to love it and know that I am going to use it! 

I hope you liked my answers!
I nominate:
Rachel - A Brunette's Wardrobe
Gemma - DazeyChains Blog
Hannah - The Fabulous Hannah

and anyone else reading this who would like to do this tag!
Can't wait to see all your answers! 

Thank you for reading
