Think back to the 1990's where one of AW16's biggest trends on the catwalk took off. We're talking velvet.
Fashion Week staged an array of velvet treats from various designers including Gucci, Prada, Nina Ricci and Fendi. And of course its hit the highstreet too, making its way into various trend sets in our favourite high street stores.

Whats more, Velvet in fashion doesn't just stop at clothing, it expands to bags, shoes and the classic 90's velvet jewellery and hair accessories!!! These boots are my favourite:

I will certainly be wearing this trend this AW16/17, and may have to invest in the boots at some point <3
What's your favourite velvet piece this season?

Hey Everyone,
So this Summer I had so much planned for you all on Daisy Chain Fashion, I even had all my posts planned out up until December!! But as you know its been lacking, I mean my last post was back in mid-July; its practically mid- September now, thats a whole two months of nothing. I won't lie, this has upset me a bit, (#worldsworstbloggeraward?) but the only explanation I can really give is, I guess
"Life Just Got In The Way"
and I'm sorry.
So what have I been up to this Summer?
Well the first thing is I've been on some amazing breaks and holidays; I went on a little adventure to London with my boyfriend for a day and a night which was so amazing!!<3.
A few weeks later I flew off off to Menorca with my mum and dad for a family holiday- our first holiday abroad for 10 years!! I had planned on blogging my Menorca trip... but then a next major blogging barrier happened:
I GOT A NEW JOB!! I now work in fashion retail and I LOVE it! So I was working there on average 3-4 days a week across the Summer and will continue to work there from now on!
My spare days I've spent with my friends, filling every last moment I have with them before they all whisk off to University. I've I had lots of Pub Fridays, cute trips out and even conquered my Peddle Boat fear (long story....)
Lastly... I'm now a Student at the FRA (Fashion Retail Academy) which I attend 2 days a week where I study Digital Marketing for Fashion. Its going well, lots of trips and fun things, but early mornings and late mornings make it slightly more harder... 4:55am wake up anyone?!
So that's my busy Summer!
I do definitely plan to start regular blogging soon now I'm sort of back in a routine, once I've got out of my insane writers block I'm experiencing right now! I have had a lovely suggestions for posts from the lovely Ella Sykes (ellasykesblog.wordpress.com) to get me going though, and I can;t wait to get posting!!
Love Emily x

Hey Everyone!
A good foundation is essential in almost everyone's 'full-face' makeup routine. If you don't have a good foundation, you can end up without that flawless base you strive for. Some people would suggest avoiding cheaper brands of the product, and those who have the funds will often head towards high-end, or designer brands. Me? I aim to find the best quality product, for as little as money possible, which is how i discovered the KIKO 3D Lifting Foundation.
I had only ever heard of KIKO a few times, not being aware it is for sale in the UK until I came across one of their stores by chance. The brand as a whole, i can only describe as MAC, but for half the price! The quality and range of products is a match to MAC from what I have tried so far from them!
But on with the Foundation Review:
Let me first tell you about my skin type- I have dry/ oily (combination) skin, that is also pretty sensitive to most products. I also suffer from regular breakouts, meaning the texture of my skin is not smooth.
The KIKO 3D Lifting Foundation is perfect for my problematic skin! The foundation, from the pump comes out quite thick and feels silky smooth to touch. It is a slight peachy scent, and comes in 10 different shades.
When applied to my face (using my beauty blender), it blends out easily and smooths over all my blemishes, helping me achieve the flawless base I desire.
Whats more its hypo-allergenic, meaning i don't have to worry about it irritation.
The smoothing qualities of this product is also supposed to be effective over time, however I can't say I have experienced this; perhaps the effects take a long period of time over constant use (i have been using it for 3 months and other foundations in between).
The Brands description of this product promises:
"A silky foundation - a pleasure to apply – enhanced by highly functional active ingredients that act on signs of aging from the very first application: your face will immediately appear more radiant, smoother and firmer.
Over time, oxidative stress and cellular stress are reduced and collagen synthesis is reactivated.
The lightness and softness of the texture, combined with the natural look of the pigments create a "second skin" effect where blemishes are eliminated and radiance is enhanced."
This product falls into the medium price category, retailing for a reasonable £14.50. I believe this is a fair price for the quality of the product you are purchasing! You also receive free delivery on all orders, if you order online, with a choice of two delivery options. Or just pop into one of their stores (find your nearest store here)
