Primark Autumn Winter collection

Has everyone seen this amazing collection from Primark? I could not believe my eyes when I recently saw the photos of the grudgey winter style file. 
I couldn't be more in love with certain pieces in the collection, which include leather look skirts, tartan, dark geometric shapes and lace. I can't actually pick my favourite piece, they are nearly all amazing. They seem to have gone in a more 'Topshop' direction with their styling and colour palette. 
Here are a few of my favourites from the look book, dark and sombre with a hint of glamour. 
What do you think? These are due to hit Primark in the next coming weeks, along with some amazing accessories.

Match Made In Wonderland

Southern Lights and In The Navy by Models Own. 

I really wanted a new glitter nail polish, so I headed down to Boots and went straight to the Models Own section, as I love their polishes! They are easy to apply and the colours are always exciting and different, I've used the Disco Mix shade previously and I've nearly ran out, which is a shame because I love the mix of purple and blue glitter. However whilst pondering weather to go for a similar glitter shade, I saw the 'Southern Lights', from the Wonderland collection; which is based on the colours of winter and contain four other polishes. I instantly knew I wanted it, it was the perfect wintry colours and looked amazing in the bottle. 
Southern Lights is gorgeous, a beautiful mix of lilac and silver glitter that shines and sparkles in nearly every colour, from red to green to yellow. It is £5 on the Models Own website, but Boots usually have a deal on their nail varnishes that makes them a little bit cheaper. 
I decided to go for a navy shade for the base coat, this one is called 'In The Navy' as I thought it would go nicely with the lilac undertones of the glitter.This combination works so well, as the navy creates a nice dark background, without being as harsh as black undercoat would be but is still dark enough to set the dazzling glitter off!

I also love the navy on it's own, it needs at least two coats to bring out the full colour of the polish, however it looks so gorgeous. I really love Models Own nail polishes as they are so easy to apply and stay on for quite a while, as long as you add a clear coat on top of course! 
Has anyone tried any of the other colours from the Wonderland collection? I would love to know which ones are the ones to go for next!
