NewLook Red Jumper Topshop MOM Jeans Zara Jaquard Blazer Topshop Nude Courts
If you remember at the beginning of last year seeing all over Instagram the Bella Freud stunning Red 1970 Jumper. The colour of red was very striking, and was complementary against the stone wash high waisted jeans. The only down side was the price tag, a whopping £290!!!. For some thats a reasonable amount to ask for a jumper, and in some ways it is as its made with Merino wool which is the finest and softest wool of all time. Saying that I cannot bring myself to spend that kind of money on a jumper. There was no need to fear because at some point the highstreet fashion gods heard my cry and BAM!! New Look brought out this champion of a Jumper that I am wearing today. Now granted it does not say 1970 on it, but what it does have is the hue of red that is so on point this season and is SUPER flattering for all skin tones. What I am focusing on today is this Beautiful blue toned red that is in all the shops. When worn on your top half, it sharpens the whites of your eyes to make them sparkle and why not also match your lipstick to your top and you will have the sparkly-list gnashers in town!.
Everyone needs a RED knit of some kind in their Autumn Wardrobe, so I have pick out some of the best on the high street right now for you.

Hope you guys are all o.k. Since August I have been scrolling through my Pinterest (have a butchers at ours here) and was seeing so much Prince of Wales check that by the time it came to September and I was limbering up to kick start my Autumn Wardrobe, I had started to get checked print fatigue!. I had seen so much of it that I am now sick of it. Most of the prints are in this grey and black and when you already have a grey blazer, a black and grey jacquard blazer, I ask myself do I really need another grey and black blazer?? It would not be in-keeping of my capsule wardrobe ethos to buy something I clearly don’t need just because its in ‘Fashurn!!’
What I have been looking, at is a more camel base check, similar to Burberry’s choice for this season which could really freshen up my wardrobe and be super versatile. Then comes price “how much can I afford” or more “how much am I willing to pay?”. Imagine my excitement when a Bloggers Pic (KatesCloset.uk) caught my eye, she was wearing a grey and black check from a brand I had not heard of…… Bershka. I went online and was so pleased to see some really nice pieces at a affordable price. I took a look at the blazer and low and behold they had it in a camel check for only £25.99 Bargain!. I bought it instantly, and I received it a day later… RESULT!.

The Masculine Blazer from Bershka really is very good quality and is fully lined which for £25.99 you are really getting a lot for your coin. I chose this one in the medium as I wanted a more structured fit,and to steer away from the more over sized silhouette. It has these two darts down the front which really helps to accentuate your waist, which is really flattening. Introducing more camel colours has breathed new life into my wardrobe and I am looking forward to styling this with other items. I would really recommend having a look at Bershka if you are thinking of picking up some great items for Autumn. I thought I would incorporate a bit of lady of the manor meet disco diva with the kick flare trouser!. The Cashmere Polar neck was a bargain from Marks and Spencer in the Sale back in March and the black flared trousers are from Mango. I finished the look with a simple pair of sock boots from ZARA.

Today is a bit of a personal post for me, but I felt it was about time to share. After watching Sophia Hilton from Not another salon’s ranting about how Instagram is ruining people’s real life expectations (If you haven’t seen it check it out here.) It got me thinking that she has hit the nail on the head the way social media has created lives, that we are finding impossible to reach. If you have been following our blog for a while and remember when I had a blog called Naybeautymua, you would of known that I really, really liked Instagram at the beginning. With its right there, right now captured moments, when no one cared about filters and themes it seemed such an innocent platform. On a good day I was receiving anything up to 350 Likes (I know thats not ground breaking) and my followers were growing steadily, there was a real sense of community and I enjoyed the engagement. The time I was spending Liking and commenting to keep the engagement up was exhausting! I would post twice a day to keep up. It all came to ahead when I wanted to take some time away to have a holiday and not use my phone at all. I found it hard, I felt like I was missing out and realized then, it was time to take a step back. I was so scared of losing engagement, if I didnt like everyone’s post or comment right there and then, then what would happen?.
Then Instagram introduced the dreaded InstaStories and the dreaded Algorithm, there was so much more to keep up with and to watch. Every good Blogger knows you need your social media platforms to raise awareness of your blog so people read it, and brands in turn want to work with you because you have the following. But what people dont tell you is Blogging is a 24hr, 7 days a week kind of job, if you want to be successful. Then on Easter weekend on Twitter, where many well known bloggers were outed for buying followers or likes. What ensued, with others jumping on the band wagon, it left a bad taste in my mouth and I realized everything you could be working for could all go in one night. With Insta becoming more annoying, all you read on twitter feeds is constant moaning from fellow bloggers (and rightly so) about engagement. I wish all bloggers could unite and just boycott Instagram, as it is not a fair platform any more. I decided for my own mental health, to completely unplug. I took a month off social media. I discussed my feelings with my husband and he suggested why not put all my efforts into our hair salon business instead. I change my handle, to our salon business and stopped engaging so much, and just posted when I had a new blog post or hair and makeup look to share. When I checked my statics I found that my main referring sites was not Instagram and that it was only no.4. so would I really notice a difference?.
So, what has been the consequences of my actions?. This was back in February, 6 months down the road now. Within a month my followers dropped (only a few hundred) and my likes dropped, 6 months down the line Im lucky if I get to 100 likes per post and my PR work has dried up a little, but to be fair its become more manageable balancing with my other job (Makeup Artist) and a full time mother to three kiddies. I will still blog, I found it relaxing and I love reading blogs, but I just dont put the same importance on it as I used to. I feel happier and more content for it. Its giving me more head space to create better content, and I figure at some point people who like what you do will find you and enjoy it, as long as you are enjoying it thats the main thing. So, come on sack the numbers and just keep creating good content for you.
