OOTN & FOTN: Goodbye My Friend!

This outfit and face of the night I believe is my first ever - wahoo! So go easy on me ;-) I'm not as stylish as others nor am I the best at make up but I try. 

I actually wore this look last Saturday night but I completely forgot I took photos of it before I went out! It was two of my friends birthdays and one of them also moved to Scotland the day after so it was kind of his leaving celebrations as well. It was a fun night and I'm glad I got a little bit of fun before revision started (not that that is going well - argh). 

This outfit was actually put together by my friend Lucy who featured the items in a blog post on lonely wardrobe. We literally went shopping together the day after she posted about it as I HAD to have it. Unfortunately we had to get a different top though as the one she featured wasn't available in our Dorothy Perkins :-(

Top - Select £8 LINK

Skirt - H&M £7.99 LINK

You can't really see it on properly so here is a  (sort of) better picture:

Definitely get the right size top for you. In the store I thought the top looked a little on the small size so sized up but when  I got it home it was huge! I spent all night pulling it up so you couldn't see my boobs - not that that really helped as it is sheer. 

For the skirt I would say try it on but probably size up also. If you're anything like me and Kim Kardashian, with voluptuous bottom halves, you'll find that although it fits at the waist it won't across your legs. And the way it falls at the front means you risk your vajayjay being exposed!

 I went for blue and gold with the make up. You can't really tell because of my glasses but when my eyes are open it looks like a really nice hint of blue in the crease/corner. I have no  idea where my make up is right now as I'm in the process of moving house but to the best of my knowledge this is what I used:

• Sleek Storm Pallette - Gold and a couple of the Blues.
• L'oreal Telescopic Mascara
• Collection 2000 Eyeliner
• Benefit Coralista Blush
• MUA Primer
• Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid Foundation in Ivory
• MUA Shade 7 Lipstick

I would love to see some of your OOTN! Leave me links below :-) 

Festival Fashion; Part One - Boohoo.com

Today's festival post is all about fashion - I have picked out a couple of pieces from www.boohoo.com that I think would go down great at any festival. I tried to choose items that I thought a lot of people would like the look of or at least items that you could take into consideration and choose your own style of. I chose items I liked and personally would wear every item if I wear going to a festival this year!

Jenny Racer Back Jersey Maxi Dress
£10.00, available in a variety of different colours

This maxi dress is ideal for a festival, as long as it's a lovely sunny day! It's long enough to keep the majority of your body covered - perfect for the last day or so when your legs are starting to get a bit fuzzy (gross, I know). The length doesn't quite reach the floor either which means, if it has been raining and the camp site is a little muddy, you won't be dragging your dress in it and getting unnecessarily dirty! The straps on this dress also ensure there won't be any mishaps involving boobs when jumping around to your favourite band! Although based on my experience at Leeds, a bit of exposure gets you noticed by the band on the big screen ;-)

Anna Tassle Hem Embroidered Yoke Kaftan
£25.00, Available in Indigo and Ivory

I chose this dress simply because it's cute! I love the fringe detail on the bottom and the cowboys and indians style of the whole piece. I think this would be perfect come rain or shine and could be paired with leggings and obligatory festival wellies.

Magdaline Ditsy Ruffle Neck Playsuit
£18.00

This playsuit gives off a boho kind of vibe for me and teamed with a pair of leggings/wellies I think it'd be perfect for any festival. I would also wear the crochet cardigan mentioned further down in the post with this, or just a simple cardigan.

Sophia Colour Block Denim Hotpants
£15.00, Available in Cobalt, Green, Pink, Red

I wore denim hotpants for the majority of Leeds festival last year over the top of some leggings (two pairs to be precise). Choosing to take hotpants and a variety of tops meant there was less to pack and carry to our campsite which proved very helpful! I also kept stylish and warm at the same time. The main advantage of the hotpants and leggings trick is that if you choose the right top, if you dress for warm and the weather changes, you won't get too hot whilst watching bands. This pair is perfect for this summer season with the whole colour block trend.

Cassia 70's Crochet Waistcoat
£22.00

This waistcoat is not only cute but very in trend at the moment. It would look perfect teamed with the aforementioned playsuit and also the maxi dress. It won't add much to your warmth but you'll look good so who cares (right?).

Lottie Mickey Mouse Character Print Tee
£6.00, Available in Black & White

As shown in the picture, this t-shirt looks great paired with a colourful pair of shorts, and would go brilliantly with the pink denim hotpants. It's fun and quirky and a simple outfit to achieve.

Miley Rubber Wellies with Ankle Strap
£10.00

I chose a simple pair of black wellies for my festival outfits as I feel that, although funky patterned wellies are staple to any festival wardrobe, at the end of they day then only end up covered in mud! If I felt like I wanted to make these a bit more interesting I'd team them with some brightly coloured socks or legwarmers. Not only would this add to the aesthetics of your outfit but would also provide you with extra warmth.

Roxy Tassle Across Body Draw String Bag
£18.00

An across the body bag is a must have for any festival. It will keep any thing you need to carry about with you - money, phone, ID etc - safe from any thieves that may be lurking around. This bag, with the fringe detail, is also very on trend this season.

That is all I chose from Boohoo for this post! I hope you liked at least one of the items I picked out, I'm not the most fashionable of people but I do try! 

Festival Season

Britain is now well and truly into festival season; having had both the Isle of Wight festival and Download within the last few weeks and plenty more to come between now and September. 


To coincide with this I have decided to spend the next week posting about festival essentials - both fashion and beauty. 


Look out for the first post tomorrow featuring fashion from boohoo.com!
