Cactus Cool





Ahh, it was only a matter of time before I got the green guns out; green lipstick, green glasses, green jewels, green cactus cool. I had dreams of green ombre too, but unfortunately despite seeking, I couldn't find a chalk that I liked the look of. Leftover pink it had to be... my third choice as I lost the gold ombre I bought the other week! Trials and tribulations of being a walking ombre obsessive. How do you like the Halloween hue to this post though?

As much as I love this cactus crop from Motel, I think the divine necklace Happiness Boutique kindly gifted me; the Be Special Deep Green Statement Necklace definitely adds the most jazz to the ootd. Special for sure! I've fast fallen for the glittering green rhinestones. If you haven't already checked the brand out, I deffo recommend you do ASAP! Not only have they got a treasure trove of jewels and bling, all of it beautifully unique and enchantingly gorgeous for any occasion, they also offer free shipping as well as a customer rewards program. AND if that wasn't tempting you enough, you can also enter their monthly giveaway to win one of their stunning statement necklaces. 

Lastly, the highlight of my week: Straight Outta Compton. Anyone else seen it? Honestly I'm a bit of a rap/hip hop music maniac so I guess it's no surprise that I found it super inspiring, awe-amazing and emotionally epic. I would seriously recommend you go see, even if you're not the biggest NWA fan. My mum loved every minute and she's 61 with no idea who NWA were before the screening. Think she's got a little crush on Corey Hawkins who plays Dr Dre, but keep it secret, yeah? The actors who portrayed Cube, Dre & Eazy E were all supremely good. And being a massive Tupac fan, I never thought I'd ever take any actor playing him seriously, but even Marcc Rose was sensational; getting Pac's mannerisms, look, voice and essence down to a T.  Definitely oscar worthy stuff! Yes I can go on about this all day. Seeing it for the fourth time next week *don't judge*. Amendment: Fifth time tonight. Probably the last time, seeing as it's going to be taken off screens next week. *Dammit*.



                                                                                                        
Any NWA fans in the house?

  12. I have been absolutely obsessed with cactus prints lately (kind of a weird thing to become obsessed with, I know). You look great in your pictures. I love your top. Have you seen the cactus print sheets from Biscuit.

  14. You look amazing Sophie, green is definitely your colour. I never thought green lips could look so good, but you make them look amazing. My boyfriend will also be so happy I've read this post cos he keeps asking me to watch Straight Outta Compton with him but I kept saying no thinking it would be rubbish but you may have just changed my mind :) xx

  16. This outfit is so rad! You look so cool! I love your ripped jeans and the way your top matches your bag, your lips (green lips look really good on you, by the way) and your necklace. I really like the Halloween vibe in the pictures - such a great idea!

    I haven't seen Straight Outta Compton, but maybe I should? Since you're watching it for the fourth time, it can't be a bad movie, haha!

I wish I could pull off green lipstick- you do it so stunningly :) This cactus top is super pretty too and it looks perfect with the Happiness Boutique necklace! You should totally try green ombre, although I do adore the pink! You always look so colourful and pretty :) Not seen 'Straight Outta Compton Yet' hahaha- Icecube, but I will totally check it out
