CASUAL OOTD

T-Shirt - Monki

Khaki Shirt - Topshop (similar linked)

Jeans - Topshop (similar linked)

Bag - Topshop

Trainers - H&M

This is just a simple outfit I wore out to lunch, which is super casual! I am absolutely loving trainers at the moment, I want some Stan Smith Adidas which are super old school classics, but these are some really nice and cheap alternatives from H&M. I'm also loving the colour khaki green, and this shirt is super cute! 

KILLER BOOT

Cami - Topshop

Jeans - Topshop

Cardigan - H&M

Coat - ASOS

Bag - Topshop

Boots - River Island

In the River Island sale, ages ago, I bought these beauty's! As with a lot of people, most of my wardrobe is black, or at least on a daily basis I will wear black jeans so these snakeskin print boots are perfect to change up an outfit! I got these for around £25, but a few months back, but currently there are so many of these style boots out there at the moment, from leopard print to snake print! My particular favourites are linked here and here, which I REALLY want to buy especially the leopard ones!!

SOPHISTICATED DINNER PARTY CELEBRATION

OUTFIT: 
Crop Top - New Look (bought from ASOS)
Trousers - ASOS
Heels - Primark (old)
Clutch - ASOS
So I have never been to a 'dinner party' before so what do you wear? After chatting to my girls a lot of them were going to wear the midi style dress, which I absolutely love, but it just doesn't fit well on me, so I went for these high wasted trousers, and this really lovely crop top. I am so glad these pieces fitted as it was a last minute ASOS shop a couple of days before! The shoes are old, but I knew I would never wear them on a night out, so a night sitting down would be a perfect time to wear them!! haha. 

MAKEUP AND HAIR:
Eyeshadow - MAC Antiqued, MAC Handwritten
Lips - MAC Rubywoo
I can't remember the hair tongs name, but a big barrelled curling tong will do the trick!
I am so lucky to have my sisters to do my hair and my makeup for me! The hair style I wanted to go for was 50's style waves.. they didn't turn out completely as hoped, but the side parting, and waves towards my face did the trick! I know this picture of my makeup is terrible, but I thought I would add one in anyway. The eyeshadow was gorgeous and completely different colour to what I'm used to wearing for a nightout. The Antiqued colour is a copper bronze kind of colour, this was used with Handwritten (also from MAC), which was used in the outer corners, and is a matte brown. 

THE NIGHT:
The night was amazing! It was to celebrate one of my best friends 21st (Otis, 3rd picture down). It was really nice to do something other than a night out with all of my closest friends.  His mum did all the cooking, (A THREE COURSE DINNER!!) which was extremely tasty! Everyone made such an effort; the girls looked gorgeous and the boys looked extremely dapper, and was just an absolutely delightful evening!

I really need to start planning my 21st, I just have no ideas, and not sure I can top this one!

LAYERS

Shirt - Topshop 

Gilet - F&F at Tesco

Jeans - Topshop

Boots - New Look

Last weekend I went out to celebrate Dan's sister's 18th birthday! We went out of a gorgeous meal at Mamma Mia restaurant in Hartney Whitney, the meal was so good! Anyway this is what I wore… 

I haven't got a gilet, so I stole this off of my sister (who actually forgot she had it!!), but what a great piece to layer with! I'm currently searching the internet to try find one similar to this one! These jeans are the leather wash ones from Topshop, they made the look a bit more nicer than just wearing standard jeans, and finally my trusty boots! 

One of my sisters did my hair, and one did my makeup. My hair is two french plaits at the front of the hair and then I just pinned them back. My makeup is a lovely smokey eye, I'm not too sure on the products, but I know one shadow was called copper plate. 

What's your current must-have?

New fave sweater

Necklace - Zara

Sweatshirt - Zara

Jeans - Topshop

Converse

I mentioned in a previous post how I have got a little bit obsessed with Zara, and this new sweatshirt is a prime piece which has began my obsession. I think it was only around £25, it's lovely and comfy, and I think can really wear with anything. Similar sweatshirt-style jumpers are available, there is a white one which I just can't wait to get m hands on! I think they will definitely be my go-to pieces for this coming season.

Kimono Love

Kimono - Urban Outfitters

Top - ASOS

Necklace - ASOS

Jeans - Topshop

Flip Flops - River Island (I think now on sale in store)

I am absolutely loving kimono's at the moment! In my previous post I wore on, and here I am wearing another. I stole this one off of my sister so I didn't have to fork out £40, but I do think some can be quite expensive. This one is really beautiful though!

Another thing I have been loving is these Birkenstock-esque flip flops. I got these a while back, but I think they may have just gone into sale in River Island. They are super comfortable, although they make a REALLY strange sound when walking. It happens only sometimes, but it's like a farting sound, so weird, but hey ho! 

One final thing is I am really loving plaiting my hair at the moment. With this style a lll I did was have my hair in two normal plaits all day and took them out and this was the outcome. It has become a really easy/great alternative to curling with heat. 

Anyone found any kimonos that are reasonably priced?

Surprise birthday meal!

Necklace - 

Top - Topshop

Shorts - H&M

Sandals - Primark

Recently I've gone out with my best girlfriends and this is what I wore!

Once again this was a bargain buy from H&M. I found these shorts in the bikini section in store (can't find them online). It's suddenly got really hot so I thought I would brave it for dinner and get my legs out! haha. I wish these shorts were a little more high waisted than they are, but I will get over it, as they were such a good buy. 

Have you found any good summer buys?

HAIR UP 2 - FRENCH PLAIT

Hey there! 

This is the second of my 'hair up' posts, the inspiration from this look was one of Kim Kardashian's hair styles. Once again I have the help from my sister for this one, but if you can french plait then you can do it yourselves.

All you will need is two hairbands, hair grips, and hairspray. Firstly plait your hair in two french plaits. With the two plaits tie them around each other, like the start of a bow. With the remaining hair attach it around the tied bit. I find this really difficult to explain, especially as I'm not entirely sure how my sister does it! Hopefully you get my jist anyway!

HAIR UP 1 - Fishtail Ponytail

Hey there! 

I always wearing my hair up in a bun, but there are so many interesting ways to style your hair up that I love. I thought I would share 3 styles over the next couple of posts with styles that I have worn recently. I have to admit I can only style my own hair in one of these, and the others I rely on my sister or my best friend to do it for me! If you have someone who can fishtail, and plait that would be useful for two of these styles! 

For this style it's probably really easy for you guys to figure out what I've done (well, what my best friend Emma did). You just need hair bands and grips. Firstly I have to straighten my hair, as it is super thick, but if you have straight hair you won't need to. Then you need to put your hair in a ponytail, quite high up on your head. Then fishtail the pony tail, be warned this will ache your neck if someone else is doing it, then make sure you tie it at the bottom. The grips are just to make it a little neater, and then just spray on lots of hair spray! It could probably stay in for the next day if you hair spray enough!

If you look down to previous posts you will be able to see what it looks like from face-on.
