First of all, this post contains a LOT of River Island, but I'm a massive RI fan sooooo...yeah! There are so many nice coats around at the moment with faux-fur collars (see missguided if your looking for one!), but if your not looking for a new winter coat, fur collars are a must have to spruce-up last years..

1. Firstly, is this amazinggg Mongolian fur collar from River Island; but much like the Mongolian fur ombre tote bag this is way out of my price range at £60. *crys*

2. I found this beauty on Ebay for just £5.99, an absolute bargain in comparison to others and comes in all the colours you could ever want! This is more than likely going to be the one I purchase.
Have a look for yourself here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Elegant-Womens-Ladies-Luxury-Scarves-Trendy-Faux-fake-fur-shrug-Cool-Wrap-collar-/110962712287?pt=UK_Scarves&var=&hash=item19d5e49edf

3. and 4. Another two from River Island at £25 and £60! Personally I much prefer the Black or Cream collars so these two are not ones I would buy. However 4. is a lovely shape and unique design incorporating oxblood hints on the tip, so I'll be very jealous of anybody I see wearing this!

5. A cheaper version here at £18 from RI. I actually own this, so thought I'd pop it on this post; because although not a collar, this is super super cosy scarf and I wear it to absolute death! It also comes in black and cream, so as you can imagine choosing just one colour took me forever and a day!

6. A dip-dye version here from RI again. This is a little different; I really like this I just wish it was a little longer!

7. Topshop have a reasonably priced version at £25 and I reallllly like this; it's the perfect length! I advise you don't try this on if your not serious about getting one, it's very hard to resist

8. Lastlyyy, this is actually a collar (as you obviously can tell) but I think it's the most amazing cardigan ever! I liked it a lot at £55, so now it's reduced to £30 I'm just lost for words! It also comes in black and pink, but I think this cream metallic is the prettiest and it looks very very cosy. Hopefully I can manage £30 to buy this while it's on sale!

ZARA do my the most amazing fur collar I've seen yet at around £30 I think, and if I don't purchase the ebay version this is the one I'll buy. It is quite literally amazing. For some reason I couldn't find a picture of it online to show you but I advise you to go in store and see for yourself :)

Hope you enjoyed this post and hopefully this helps you out if your stuck on choice for the faux-fur trendd :)
 

TOPSHOP NAIL ART

 

Nail Art Tools.

I've owned these Topshop Nail Art brushes for agessss now but never got round to properly testing them out due to pure laziness, and the fact I thought nail art was realllly hard and you needed a super steady hand. I was wrong! These 6 brushes make nail art sooooo easy, literally anybody can do it. My favourite of this kit by far is the double sided dotting tool, and this is a great tool for beginners like myself to start experimenting with nail art. With a larger and smaller dotting tool you can create polka-dots, flowers, etc with ease! The remaining five brushes allow designs such as stripes to be created; with the angular brush brilliant for tricky areas. This is a brilliant kit for experimenting with nail art-especially for those who don't take it too seriously! At £10 the kit is definitely worth buying, the dotting brush alone is £6 so you really may as well get the whole thing!
I really like the neon-pink design of these; however when washing the brushes with nail varnish remover I seem to have a LOT of this pink removed to. However, this is the only negative I can find with these brushes so it's really no biggie in my eyes.

Nail Art Decal Wheel.

 

These are relatively new to the Topshop nail kingdom! I really like the idea of these and at £4 each they are an absolute STEAL, I really can't wait to try them out. I think it's a really cute idea, provided a mix of gems with playful designs such as watermelons (my fave) or frogs. There are 3 different wheels to choose from, however I've only shown you 2 as i find the third a bit 'boring': it involves way move studs and gems but I feel the appeal of this set is in the quirkier designs! They just stick on the nail in whatever pattern or position you choose; as I haven't yet bought these yet I'm not sure of the sticking quality or reusableness (definitely a word!). I will have to let you know the results in a later blog post, OR if you've tried them out let me know your thoughts? :)


Head over to Topshop to see all the above items and the third decal wheel. They also have a brilliant new instagram video showing the cute designs if you follow them :)
