OOTD Summer Wedding


Yesterday I spent a wonderful day at my cousin's wedding
Last week I done a FOTD post with the makeup I was wearing 
which you can see here
So today I thought I would show you my outfit 

Dress (belt included) - Dorothy Perkins 
Shoes - Koi Couture 
Watch - Michael Kors 
Earrings - Avon 
Bag - New Look
Fascinator - Posh n Pretty 


Craig's Suit & Tie is from Next 
and his shirt is from Burtons 

I fell in love with this dress as soon as I saw it
I thought it would be perfect for a summer wedding
and it was really comfortable!
Weddings can be such long days so it really is important to wear something that you will feel comfortable in all day and night.

I love hats & fascinators and a wedding is one of the rare opportunities I get to wear them
However I had an absolute nightmare trying to find one that went with my outfit 
but after a bit of rooting around online I came across an amazing website


You can basically pick whichever colours you need to match your outfit 
They have a massive range to choose from 
I chose Coral & Nude

You then choose the style you want
I opted for demure as I didn't want anything to over the top 
but there are some much more extravagant options if that's what appeals to you.

Finally you pick any finishings that you want
I chose some little pearl detailing 
and then you choose your fixing 
You can have headbands, combs or clips

This custom made fascinator only cost me £12.50 
(plus p&p)
It arrived really quickly and the customer service was brilliant 
If you need a piece at short notice they really try to get it done for you ASAP
I would definitely recommend ordering from here if you have a wedding coming up 


I'll leave you with a few pics I took
from the lovely day!

T in the Park 2013 - Festival OOTD

Hello lovelies! 
So I am currently writing this from my bed where I have been lying all day trying to recover from what was an absolutely amazing day yesterday at T in the Park.

I thought I would share my experience with you 
and show you some of the outfits that my friends and I were wearing!

We all have quite different styles so hopefully you can take some inspiration for your own festival looks! 

Now I am speaking from experience when I say that usually at TITP we are up to our eyeballs in mud 
So it was very strange that the sun was shining for us! 
I still wasn't brave enough to go without wellies though! 



Dress - Blonde & Blonde @ BANK
Wellies & Socks - Primark
Bracelets - Internacionale 
Earrings & Sunglasses - Primark 
Flower Hair Clips - New Look 


The nice weather held up all day
and unusually for T there was no mud *yeaah*
so about half way through the day I changed into my pink sneaks and ditched the wellies 


Now for my lovely friends outfits
 (Left to Right)

Kirsty wears:
Skull Dress - H&M
Belt - Aqua by Aqua
Black Flatforms (Unseen) - Primark 

Erin wears:
Lime green dress - Topshop 
Flower headband - Topshop 
White Air Force Ones - Nike 

Jen wears:
Playsuit - River Island 
Headband - Accessorize 
White trainers - Primark 

Here's a few more snaps from our day 

*Getting creative with some neon facepaint from Ebay*
*Two Door Cinema Club*


We had such an amazing day! 
I will definitely be back next year 
My two favourite acts were The Killers who were absolutely outstanding 
Brandon Flowers is so gorgeous <3
and Labrinth who had The King Tuts Tent jumping! 

One of my favourite bloggers Kayleigh from Couture Girl was there and I had my eyes peeled for her all day but didn't see her :( 

Have you been to any festivals this year?
Or are you heading to any soon?

My Worldwide Wardrobe

Last summer I entered a competition run by Travelsupermarket 
called Beauty and the Beach, It was the first competition I had ever entered on my blog and had so much fun doing it that when they approached me about it this year I couldn't say no. 
Especially when I found out that the judges were some of my favourite bloggers! 

I decided to go with the other option this year which is a new competition called
My Worldwide Wardrobe
The idea is, you have to create a look for specific destinations and activities all over the globe,
using a budget of £200. I must say I am a bit of a bargain hunter so the budget wasn't a problem for me.

The winner of the competition wins £200 to buy their chosen outfit AND a holiday to that destination
So I have got everything crossed as I would love to go on holiday this year.


"To Dye For" Body 
 Staysick - £30

Vintage Levi 501's -
Ebay - £18.95

Nike Blazer Lo Vintage 
Size? - £40

Bracelet Stack
New Look  - £6.99 

Total - £95.94

First up is the party island Ibiza! This is one of my favourite places in the world, it is such an eclectic mix of people and fashion. When I say anything goes, I mean it! Clubbing in Ibiza is your chance to be as loud and daring as you want with your outfit, which is why I picked this AMAZING bodysuit by Staysick. I'm all for supporting local designers, and this range was actually designed by a girl I know. You could totally get away with wearing it on it's own in an Ibiza nightclub, but I'm not quite that daring so I would pair it with a pair of customised vintage Levi shorts.
 Now I wouldn't normally wear trainers clubbing in the UK but believe me, turn up to a club in Ibiza wearing heels and be prepared to feel very uncomfortable. These clubs are open till 6am! you don't want to go back to your hotel early because you made the wrong footwear choice! These Nike Blazers will help you to dance all night - pain free.
Finish the look of with some stacked neon bracelets and your ready to hit the clubs!




Celine Paris Replica T-Shirt

Cocktails in the city that never sleeps is definitely something that is on my bucket list.
 If I want to pretend to be a New York fashionista I need a powerhouse outfit!
I'm really loving the masculine looks that are out just now.
This is a tailored look with a feminine edge. The cigarette style trousers would really flatter my long legs and the signature Zara sandal would give the look an elegant feel.
What better way to look fabulous on a budget than wearing a designer replica vest. This is an absolute steal at £10
Wear it under a this gorgeous ROMWE fitted blazer and no-one will know you haven't paid top dollar for it.
Finish the look off with a pop of colour in the form of this statement necklace from New look and of course no New York outfit would be complete without a Cosmo in hand

River Island  - £25

Cat Eye Sunglasses
Mango Touch for ASOS - £22.99

RiRi Woo Lipstick
MAC -£14

Paris - The most romantic city in the world. It is somewhere I have never visited but if I did, there are so many things I would love to see! which is why I have went for both a stylish and comfortable outfit.
This gorgeous dress from Jaeger (boutique) screams Paris! OK, horizontal stripes in France might be a little cliche but who the hell cares. If I'm going to Paris I'm dressing as Parisian as possible.
I love this dropped waist style.
If you are wandering the streets of the city all day you are going to want comfortable shoes. These gorgeous leather shoes from OFFICE are just that, and they are on sale right now so are an absolute bargain.
They would also go perfectly with this gorgeous over the shoulder satchel, which is the perfect size to store your camera in, to ensure you don't miss the opportunity to snap the beautiful sights.
A pair of cat eye sunglasses will keep you looking cool on a beautiful French summers day
and a slick of RiRi Woo on your lips will brighten up the whole outfit!




Tye Dye Cover Up

Peace Bandeau Bikini
Topshop - £32

Pink Neon Sunglasses
Missguided - £5.99

Turqouise Havaianas
Schuh - £20

Thailand is the place to be at New Year, and you can't visit this beautiful country without going to a full moon party! These parties are infamous and literally thousands of people head to the beach to celebrate!
Beachwear is a must but you want to stand out from the crowd. This Topshop bikini is the way to get noticed and the turqouise Havaianas match it perfectly!
Chances are it's going to be a late night so while your partying by the bonfire you are going to want a cover up.
Throw this Tye Dye cover up over your bikini for a perfect dressy yet casual beach look.
Neon is everywhere at a full moon party and these pink sunglasses are the perfect accessory, now all you need to finish off the look is to let one of your friends slap some neon face paint all over you, and get ready to party!

I had so much fun styling these outfits! If you want to have a go yourself you can enter the competition here

I TAG you all to do it!

Please let me know what you think of my outfits!
and keep your fingers crossed for me :)

Time for a change

Evening :) 
Hope you are all having a lovely day! 
I've spent the day lunching with my family for mothers day 

My mum was very happy with her present
The new summer Oh Lola by Marc Jacobs perfume 
she has spent all day sniffing herself! lol 

So I have decided to do something drastic over the weekend
and completely change my hair!
I've had a blonde bob since I was 17
which is longer ago than I care to remember!!! 
so I decided to try something a bit different


I dyed my hair a dark blonde/light brown shade 
and when it is my usual length it looks ombre 
but I also decided to buy clip in extensions to change it up a bit! 

I've curled them here using my GHD's 
I got 3 strips of dark blonde
and 3 strips of mixed blonde
I decided to go for the 14 inch length which is the shortest that the shop sold 
as my hair has always been so short I thought this would look better 
as it's a bit more subtle than 20 inch ones!

I was unsure about it at first 
but it is such a massive change for me that I think it will just take me a while to get used to it
It is growing on me! 
Craig said it's like having a new girlfriend lol!

Me and my mum ready to go out for lunch!

In other news
I got a new camera! 
My beautiful Canon arrived during the week 
so hopefully my photo's will get better and better
I'm having so much fun learning how to use it! 

So what do you all think of the new hair?

OOTN - Black&Gold


Top - Topshop
Skirt - Internacionale 
Belt - ASOS
Shoes - River Island 
Watch - Michael Kors 
Necklace - H&M

Another weekend, another obligatory hand on the hip outfit post! 



I really liked how my makeup turned out last night 
I done my gorgeous friend Cheryl's hair and makeup as well!
She wasn't too keen on the eyebrows but I'm a sucker for dark eyebrows and light hair.
Think it took her a while to get used to it! 
but she seemed to quite enjoy having her own personal hair and makeup artist on hand for the night lol


Hope you have all had a fab weekend!

Tonight Were Drinking From The Bottle!


Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Thought I would do a quick OOTN from last night 
My friends Lynsey and Ryan had their engagement party 
which was a great night! 

Here is what I wore 


Playsuit - Primark 
Earrings - New Look 
Cuff - New Look
Watch - Michael Kors 
Shoes (Unseen) - River Island 
Nails - Essie - Off The Shoulder 

So I really wanted to share this outfit with you because I think this outfit was such a bargain!
The Primark playsuit was only £15!!! 
Amazing for a full outfit
The under layer is a really pale dusty pinkish colour 
and the lacey outer layer is gorgeous 

I think it's really good quality for the price and doesn't look cheap at all 



Me at the end crouching as usual as I'm so tall!! 




This was me by the end of the night 
Novelty glasses and drinking from the bottle
Classy chick
