Just a quick post to show my outfit that i wore tonight! It was my boyfriends auntie's birthday, so we had a bit of a get together. We didn't stay too long though, as we're going shopping tomorrow in manchester and i need to be in a state to get up tomorrow haha! H&M here i come! But any way back to my outfit...
Vest (worn as a dress as it's quite long!) - All Saints
Demin Shirt - Topshop
Rose Necklace - River Island
Shoes - Office London
Should have done a FOTD to accompany it, but we were on last minute (as usual) and it slipped my mind completely!
Hope you're all having a lovely weekend :)

ps. just made my first ELF purchase! cannot wait for it to arrive, i went a bit OTT when i saw how cheep they are. But oh well!
For my first attempt at zebra print, i have to say, i'm quite impressed with myself! Although, i didn't leave it long enough before applying the top coat and my stripes did smudge a little, but practice makes perfect i guess!
Heres how i did it:
First off, i used OPI nail envy as a base coat (my poor nails are still recovering after their last acrylic stint).
For the white base i used Revlon Stay Perfect nail colour in White, this is actually a tip whitener for french manicures, but its the only opaque white i had!
For the stripes i used a really small paint brush and Barry M black nail polish. i dipped the brush in clear polish first so it dried stiff, to avoid the bristles fanning out or bending to much whilst doing the stripes
I finished off with a swipe of OPI fast dry top coat :)
I'm so excited! After much debating whether or not it would work, i decided to go for the "Look of the Day" video idea i had for my youtube. Basically, i wanted to take the FOTD and HOTD posts i did on my blog and translate them into something youtube worthy. Just doing a picture roll seemed boring, so i had the idea of showing how i actually achieved the look. It's not really a tutorial, it's more of a visual explaination.
FINALLY! a decent darkening shampoo for brunette hair!
My stylist advised this for me and my naturally blonde hair. Its a shampoo, used like a mask between your usual shampoo and conditioner, and voi la! Instantly richer, most intense colour.
The video below is one i did for my YouTube channel, which goes into more depth about the product.
You'll have to excuse me if i look totally shattered in these pictures! Thought i'd get in a little OOTD before i go to college, and i'm really not a morning person! I usually dress quite casual to college as it's a pretty long day and i've no one to really impress there haha!
Top - All Saints £35 Jeggings - Topshop £20 Bag - Paul's Boutique £60ish
Scarf - Alexander McQueen £35 off Ebay
Boots - River Island £65
Face...
I keep it pretty simple at college
Face - Studio fix concealer, Bare Minerals foundation, Bare minerals 'warmth' bronzer, MAC pinch-o-peach blush
Eyes - L'oreal super liner, Prestige white eyeliner (water line), Maybelline Falsies mascara
I cannot even explain how excited i get when i see one of these boxes on my door step!
I admire All Saints' dedication to making everything they produce look amazing, down to the cardboard boxes they deliver in. You know that so much care has gone into it that it makes it even more special, even if it does only contain a bog standard printed tee and a plain white tank!
Abandonment tee, in Chalk - £35
Nemesis Vest, in Optic - £25
Total - £60
I know that seems a pretty hefty price to pay for something so basic. But the cut and fabric of All Saints garments are so flattering and comfy, and it will out last anything you can pick up at Primark!
