NYFW : Catwalk Favourites

As usual the catwalks at New York Fashion Week were jam packed with fashion perfection, and this made choosing a handful of favourites incredibly hard. 
I have however narrowed my favourites down and I liked each show for completely different reasons, but one thing is for sure... AW15 is looking stunning! 

Tibi






Oversized. Fur. Knitwear. Need I say more?

Tommy Hilfiger






I love that sports luxe appears to be carrying on into AW, and Tommy Hilfiger has done it so beautifully here.

Carolina Herrera 






I adore the colour palette of this whole collection, every piece flows like water.

Altuzarra 






This collection just SCREAMS cool girl, and I love it!

Victoria Beckham






VB is the epitome of class and sophistication and the shapes here keep it looking fresh.

Michael Kors






Luxury and opulence reigned at Michael Kors and it was all incredibly wearable. I'm obsessed with the fur!

Marc Jacobs






Marc Jacobs always manages to re-invent ladylike pieces and silhouettes, and this show was no exception. 

Diane von Furstenberg






Diane von Furstenberg knows women, and women's bodies. Season after season she proves sexiness doesn't have to mean looking cheap. 

Which shows were your favourites? Leave me a comment! Keep your eyes peeled for the rest of my fashion week faves coming soon!

Bambi in NYC: What I Bought, Make-Up

As you'll probably already know, I did a LOT of shopping on my recent trip to New York and this is my second post showing all my purchases. If you missed my first NYC post, you can see it here. 
This next instalment features all the make-up products I bought, mainly MAC. I love MAC make-up and it's such a bargain in the USA compared to UK prices. Although I did want to try some other brands, I know MAC is good already and suits my skin so I bought that instead. Also, Sephora was a little overwhelming and I panicked!

I've wanted a Naked palette for a while now and Naked 2 is my favourite. I waited to buy one in New York because the pricing is so different. This will definitely become one of my make-up staples, the neutral shades are perfect for any occasion.


MAC lipsticks are only £9 in America! I am so jealous of the Americans who get to take advantage of that price all the time. As well as an everyday nude shade, I bought some bold Autumnal colours too. 
L-R Kinda Sexy, Captive, Russian Red, Sin.



I never really use lip liner but I was so surprised how much more polished a red lip looks with a liner. This liner is Kiss Me Quick. 


I love the Victoria's Secret body products and they were 5 for $30, here they are £14 each! The saving was huge so my sister and I bought 5 products between us. 

Body sprays are a definite must-have of mine, I like to wear them during the day and then I'll use a perfume in the evening. 

This coconut and vanilla body lotion smells amazing! It smells like holidays and I love it. 

I also bought a Benefit Gimme Brow eyebrow gel, look out for a product review coming soon!

Bambi in NYC: What I Bought, Accessories

As some of you may know, I recently visited New York for the first time. I got home Thursday morning and I'm only just getting back to normal, I didn't want to get back to reality at all! I absolutely loved New York! It was a truly amazing trip and I got to do some excellent things, including lots of shopping! Keep your eye on my blog this week for lots of NYC themed posts, from tourist photos to my purchases!

I saved up for nearly a year for my trip, including actually paying for the trip and spending money. If you caught my previous post, you'll have seen some of the things I wanted to buy while I was away and I definitely ticked off everything on my shopping list! 

This first NY installment is dedicated to the many accessories I purchased in America, I'm a huge fan of the NYC department stores!

The first thing I bought was this gorgeous Michael Kors bag, I've wanted it for absolutely ages!



This Calvin Klein purse was an absolute bargain in Century 21, New York's answer to TK Maxx. 

Macy's. 30% off. I was in heaven! Decided if I was going to buy the Marc Jacobs earrings, I definitely needed a ring to match. Be rude to say no at 30% off!


If you are a fan of accessories, Henri Bendel is the store you should visit in NYC! With three floors of beautiful jewellery and handbags it's amazing. I love how this bangle is a little different and unique. 


My boyfriend bought me the ring I wanted from Tiffany for my birthday, but he's taken it away to wrap it up so I can't wear it for a few weeks yet. *sad face*
 
These earrings are also a birthday present but these are from my mum. It was so hard to pick in Tiffany! Too many pretty items.

My mum, sister and I all got matching Pandora bracelets with an apple charm to commemorate our time in New York. 


This watch could possibly be my favourite purchase. I got it in Bloomingdales on our last day and they even sized it for me for free. 

Keep a look out this week for my other New York themed blogs!
