Ted Baker Beauty

Ted Baker Beauty 

Katherine Penney Chic Blogger Beauty Ted Baker Body Spray Hand Moisturiser Luxury Beautiful Pretty Girlie Pink

Ted Baker is a brand that I have always been drawn to. I love their clothes, their digital print, the smell of the body products and the always beautiful packaging. So when I got these two little beauty gifts for a few of my friends as a belated birthday gift it was a real treat. 

Katherine Penney Chic Blogger Beauty Ted Baker Body Spray Hand Moisturiser Luxury Beautiful Pretty Girlie Pink

One of the items that I got was this lovely set of body sprays, called Polly and Mia! They are two little scent bottle which look beautiful on my bedroom shelves but are also the perfect size to throw into my handbag when I am going out. They are both really pretty scents, floral but not overly sweet and I think they are really lovely for the transition into Autumn.

I was also given this beautiful hand cream with the gorgeous rose gold and floral print packaging. I like to keep this one by my bed as I have a cheaper one which I throw in my bag for everyday. I'm trying to use as little as possible as I don't want this to run out, but thankfully a little does go a long way. I'm not really sure how to describe the smell but it is really lovely and the hand cream itself is very moisturising. 

I don't usually buy Ted Baker beauty, they are more of a luxury that I sometimes receive as presents. But I have loved every Ted Baker beauty product that I have tried. And I have a beautiful Ted Baker Wash bag that has travelled the world with me and last years! What do you guys think of Ted Baker beauty? Do you have any product recommendations? I might have to start spending some of my Boots points! xx

Katherine Penney Chic Blogger Fashion Style Outfit Preppy Autumn Fall Neutrals Classic

So my Refreshers week is over (I spent most of it ill!) and another year of university has officially started. I'm really excited for this year studying Fashion Buying and all of my modules sound really interesting. This weekend I went to the library to get some book out for my course and try and get a bit of a head start on the year. I'm really loving a very preppy style in Autumnal tones at the moment so I thought that I would share my outfit with you. 

Katherine Penney Chic Blogger Fashion Style Outfit Preppy Autumn Fall Neutrals Classic

For me nothing say cute and preppy like a little collar poking out from underneath a jumper, especially a pretty white one. The sleeveless shirt that I am wearing is from Dorothy Perkins in a white broderie pattern and my jeans are just my favourite dark denim Zara pair. The beige jumper is a new one from H&M. I had the grey one and loved it and wore it so much that I bought it in the beige as well. I wonder if they also do a black...

I also wore my fur gilet for some extra warmth on the way to the library and rolled the sleeves of my jumper up for an extra preppy feel. I honest cannot get enough of my Longchamp handbag. I was such a great investment. I am also able to fit my Macbook, notepads, diary and then all my other bits and pieces in it, so it is just great for throwing everything in.

After Summer I am really enjoying putting together Autumn inspired preppy outfits. So keep an eye out on my blog for lots more outfit posts like this one. Speak soon xx

Bedroom Extras

Bedroom Extras 

Katherine Penney Chic Blogger New Bedroom Uni Life Decor Inspo Interior Pastel Pretty White Fashion Clothes Rail

So as promised here are the extra pictures from my new uni bedroom. And my personal favourite part! I had seen so many pictures on Pinterest of these beautiful clothes rails displaying clothes with a colour scheme, like pastel or monochrome. I have never been able to have one in my bedroom at home as I have large built in cupboards and I don't really have the floor space for it. So my new bedroom at uni was perfect and not only does it look pretty but it is actually really practical having my favourite clothes so accessible and giving me more cupboard space. 

Katherine Penney Chic Blogger New Bedroom Uni Life Decor Inspo Interior Pastel Pretty White Fashion Clothes Rail

I found this clothes rail from IKEA for only about £14. It has a lot of hanging space as well as a rack along the bottom which I use for some of my shoes. My new room is very pastel and white so I kept the rack to this colour scheme by display all my lighter clothes, which is most of what I wear anyway! It is mostly white, beige, pastel pink and then some light denim, going from outwear, to jumpers, shirts and tops. 

Katherine Penney Chic Blogger New Bedroom Uni Life Decor Inspo Interior Pastel Pretty White Fashion Clothes Rail

Hope you like these pictures and what I have done with my bedroom. It is definitely very girlie and homely but I am really happy with how it has turned out. Although I still have a few little bits and pieces that I want to buy, like a desk lamp. Shopping for pretty bedroom pieces is one of my favourite things to shop for! And soon I will have to get some pretty Christmassy things, but I am probably getting a bit ahead of myself!

Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend. Speak soon xx

My New Bedroom

My New Bedroom 

Katherine Penney Chic Blogger New Bedroom Home Interior Decor Beautiful Favourite White Girlie Pastel Boho Blue Light Pretty Beauty Makeup Fashion

So firstly I am sorry for the lack of posts this last week, but as you might have guessed by the title of this post I have finally moved into my new uni house! I am living with 8 (I know, it's a big house!) of my best friends from uni last year and my bedroom is on the very top floor. I love looking at how people have decorated their bedrooms and their homes so I thought I would finally share with you a few pictures of my new bedroom. 

Katherine Penney Chic Blogger New Bedroom Home Interior Decor Beautiful Favourite White Girlie Pastel Boho Blue Light Pretty Beauty Makeup Fashion

So this is basically what you see when you open the door and walk into my bedroom. I have a nice big bed in the middle of the room and then my desk and work area over in the corner. I've get the decor as light as possible to make the space feel bigger so as can only be expected there is a lot of white and pastel! 

Katherine Penney Chic Blogger New Bedroom Home Interior Decor Beautiful Favourite White Girlie Pastel Boho Blue Light Pretty Beauty Makeup Fashion

On one end of my desk I have created like a dressing table area with all of my makeup and some beauty bits. I actually brought pretty much all of my makeup with me to university so I have everything that I could ever need. In the morning and before nights out I will just scoot my chair over to this end of my desk and do my makeup using my little desk mirror. 

Katherine Penney Chic Blogger New Bedroom Home Interior Decor Beautiful Favourite White Girlie Pastel Boho Blue Light Pretty Beauty Makeup Fashion

Katherine Penney Chic Blogger New Bedroom Home Interior Decor Beautiful Favourite White Girlie Pastel Boho Blue Light Pretty Beauty Makeup Fashion

I love having a lot of pretty pastel thinks like jewellery, makeup and nail polish on show as it adds detail and makes the room feel homely and girlie. 

Katherine Penney Chic Blogger New Bedroom Home Interior Decor Beautiful Favourite White Girlie Pastel Boho Blue Light Pretty Beauty Makeup Fashion

On the other end of the desk I have my work area with my laptop, notepads and pens. I find it easier to keep all my uni books and folders away in my cupboard and take them out as and when I need them. My desk isn't huge so this way it feels tidier and I have more space. 

Katherine Penney Chic Blogger New Bedroom Home Interior Decor Beautiful Favourite White Girlie Pastel Boho Blue Light Pretty Beauty Makeup Fashion

I actually bought this new calculator the other day. I remember being about twelve years old and being desperate for the bright pink one! Now I got just as much job buying the beautiful new white one to go with my desk space! 

Katherine Penney Chic Blogger New Bedroom Home Interior Decor Beautiful Favourite White Girlie Pastel Boho Blue Light Pretty Beauty Makeup Fashion

I have a little bedside table where I keep a few bits and pieces. I have my white alarm clock, my lantern, glasses, a candle and my favourite photo of my brother and sister. I also have some lip balm and hand cream which I always use before bed, and then all my other bedtime beauty bits are in the drawers. 

Katherine Penney Chic Blogger New Bedroom Home Interior Decor Beautiful Favourite White Girlie Pastel Boho Blue Light Pretty Beauty Makeup Fashion

Finally just above my desk I have this little shelf space. Here I have put my Roberts Radio on display as the colour goes perfectly with my throw. I have some beauty bits, some of my favourite jewellery and then my cacti which I just love! Which reminds me, they could probably do with a bit of water! 

There is actually a little corner of my bedroom that I haven't included in this post. Do avoid making this post too long, and because it is my favourite part of my bedroom I am going to include these pictures in a whole separate post. So keep an eye out as that will be on the blog in the next few days.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend, speak soon xx

Benefit Minis

Benefit Minis 

Katherine Penney Chic Beauty Blogger Makeup Samples Minis Benefit Cute Love Highlighter Lips Mascara Tints Retro Pretty Girlie

As I have mentioned several times on this blog now, last weekend my bestfriend go home from America. This year we actually missed each others birthday which was really sad. I am 5 days older that her so usually we do something on the day of each of our birthdays so it is like we each get two birthdays!

Katherine Penney Chic Beauty Blogger Makeup Samples Minis Benefit Cute Love Highlighter Lips Mascara Tints Retro Pretty Girlie

Anyway, I saw her this weekend and we had such a lovely girlie sleepover with yummy food and chick flicks! We also exchanged some very belated presents, and it made me laugh how we had both had the same idea and got each other some nice makeup. I gave her the Too Faced Boudoir Eyes Palette as I have it already and I knew she would love the colours. And she gave me this super cute set of little Benefit Minis. The set comes with six little products in the beautiful Benefit packaging. And I love minis as I think that they are a great way to try out products, especially more expensive ones without having to commit to buying the whole thing. Also mini products just look so cute! 

Katherine Penney Chic Beauty Blogger Makeup Samples Minis Benefit Cute Love Highlighter Lips Mascara Tints Retro Pretty Girlie

The first two, Sugarbomb and Ooh La Lift are both highlighter kind of products. Sugarbomb is a pretty pinky shimmer that you are meant to swirl the shades together and sweep over the face. I think I will be using this one as a blusher highlighter hybrid just on my cheeks for a bit of a glow.

Ooh La Lift is meant to be used under the eyes and I have never tried a product like this so I am excited to see how that turns out. Although I hope it doesn't make my under eyes shimmery and draw even more attention to my bags!

Katherine Penney Chic Beauty Blogger Makeup Samples Minis Benefit Cute Love Highlighter Lips Mascara Tints Retro Pretty Girlie

This mini makes me very excited as I have wanted to try this mascara for ages. I am currently using the new Benefit mascara, Roller Lash which I absolutely love! I already tried this one yesterday and I already love it. I was rushing out with no other makeup on and did a few stokes of this on each eye. I wasn't at all clumpy and it just looked really pretty and natural which I loved. 

Katherine Penney Chic Beauty Blogger Makeup Samples Minis Benefit Cute Love Highlighter Lips Mascara Tints Retro Pretty Girlie

Sun beam is a highlighter that I already own and love so I might let my sister try out this little mini, I also have two Benefit tints, Posie Tint and Cha Cha Tint so I can't wait to see what Lolli tint is like in comparison.  

Katherine Penney Chic Beauty Blogger Makeup Samples Minis Benefit Cute Love Highlighter Lips Mascara Tints Retro Pretty Girlie

Lolli balm looks like a really beautiful lip balm, although I had a little look and it only twists up about 4mm so that probably isn't going to last me very long the rate I get through lip balm. I think I will have to save this one just for when I am wearing Lolli Tint!

Hope you like this little post. I would love to hear in the comments if you have tried any of these products and what you thought of them! Speak soon xx
