Forgive me.. Please?

I feel like I am not using this blog enough. I seriously need to start sticking to my new years resolution and GET OUT MORE... My life is becoming purely orientated around the carvery. It's been a bit mental but I'm training for the Reading Half Marathon too so I keep forgetting to blog... I'm sorry! I'll be better, I promise! 

Went out for a family meal today for my cousin's boyfriend, Matt's, 23rd birthday. I chose to wear my new killer heals from Miss Selfridge (my birthday present to myself..) paired with my high waisted jeans from TopShop that I got off eBay for a bargain! My top is a simple chiffon black shirt from Primark with a cute sequin collar. At the moment I've been addicted to wearing red lipstick with smoky cat-eye eye makeup and I decided to go for the sideways plat. The meal was very good, I tackled my way through 3 courses (not much of a challenge to be honest...). 

Any ways, I hope you like this outfit as much as I do; smart but casual :D 

Post soon! (Promise!!)

Be my valentine ❤️

It's valentine's day and I know a lot of you are bound to be on dates today. Here are some little things I think suit valentine's day and will make you look great on your date! 

This first outfit is a cute number for a day time date. The shirt has little hearts on it (perfect for valentine's day) and a cute black bow at the neck. I've paired it with a black leather skater skirt for an edgy effect but a soft grey skater skirt would help to keep it girly and sweet. I've added my new favourite hat to this outfit, I just think it give it a little extra something :) I've chosen to wear black brogues with this but you can definitely add heals to this! And finally, my new orange satchel give an nice pop of colour to the outfit: pastel colours are go to for a sweet girly look :) 

Red is a must for Valentine's day! I recommend bright, strong red lips but golden, smoky car eyes. It helps creat an impact on your eyes appearance and the lips just pop and look kissable! ;D A red skater dress or one that cinches at the waist will look lush on a dinner date with your other half! 

Remember though, it's okay to be single on Valentine's day. Organise a girls night out or a shopping trip! Look amazing, feel good and just be happy. Valentine's day is about love; whether that be friends, family or partners, so enjoy it! 

Thanks for reading :)
