Monday Morning Blues

Today I just wanted to feel super girly.  Having had a puffed up face all of last week, I was finally starting to feel half human again.  So I threw on the most girly dress I own and rocked it.

 

Dress: House of Fraser / Belt: Primark / Heels: New Look

 

I just love the navy blue colour and also, the fact that it has this beautiful pattern on the material:

 

There is something elegant and enriching about this dress.  The shape stands proud on its own and to give it more definition, I always team it up with a waist belt.

My face was kept simple today.  I used the 2True lipgloss in colour 9 (as found in Superdrug) and on top of that, I placed the ELF lipstick pen in colour coral.

And as always, I used a simple, black eyeliner and the brown colour from an H&M pallet - nothing special at all.

To finish, I wore this cross.  I bought it through the Pinky Promise website.  My reasons for wearing it, is to draw strength upon throughout the day.  Our lives are tested each day and for me, it's a reminder that everything will be ok.

Hope you all have a great week.

Sizzlin' Sunday

England has been hit with a crazy heat wave this weekend.  It's currently 84*F and I'm NOT complaining!  I can't think of anything more satisfying than being able to just chill out, with the sun beating down on me.......drink in one hand and a snack in the next....bliss!

Being Sunday, I opted for an uber casual look.  Heavy clothes are not an option in this weather:

          Boob Tube: H&M (current stock) / Shorts:Matalan /Wedges: Primark / Necklace: Aurora B


Oh...these are the wedges I mentioned in my 'Ebay Queen' post.  I absolutely love them and really wished I had purchased the black pair too.  Oh well!

My face:

With our heat, comes mugginess and it's horrible, sticky and unpleasant!  I therefore cannot wear heavy foundation, as I start to resemble melted chocolate!  What I have gone for today is Mac's tinted moisturiser and set it with Mac's Skinfinish natural.  It gives you the look of makeup, without your face feeling like you've caked it on. 

My eyes have been done using a brown pallet from H&M and lashes with Rimmel's Lash Accelerator mascara.

As you can see, I'm still rocking my fro fro.  Absolutely love the look it gives me.  To see my full review, click here.

Enjoy the sun while it still lasts!!  Don't think we'll be seeing it for the bank holiday next weekend :(
