Little grey dress OOTD...

 


 

Dress - Valley Girl (Australia)
Shirt - Primark
Boots - Dr Martens 
Bag - Australian market
Necklace and rings - Primark
Watch and sunglasses - ASOS

This dress was so inexpensive I picked one up in most colours. They're going to be great for summer when I'm down the beach to throw over a bikini, and I'll bring them home to layer up with tights and chunky cardigans for the UK winter.

More jumper OOTD's....


Jumper - New Look (about £4 in a sale many years ago)
Shorts - Surf shop (Australia)
Bag - Perth market (Australia)
Rings and leggings - Primark
Watch - ASOS
Converse - Office


You must excuse my eyebrows, I used a black eyeshadow from the Sleek Storm palette and wasn't used to how soft it was...smudge central!

I just wanted to show off my flicked liner to be honest, I've got so lazy using a felt liner pen that I thought getting back into gel liner would be tricky but it was surprisingly easy to pick up again! I used the Maybelline blackest black gel liner with a Sigma E05 liner brush and loved the results!

For lips I used a smudge of Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake, completely obsessed with this shade right now!

If anyone has any recommendations for mote gel or cream liners, or even some great felt tip or liquid liners I'd love to hear them, I'm really enjoying getting back into liner on the lash line recently.

Update and wedding outfit...

Hey all, so I'm back in Australia! I've been back a week and it's been pretty hectic - job hunting, recovering from jet lag, a wedding and of course enjoying being back with the boyfriend. It's no where near as hot over here as it is back in England (it is Aussie winter after all!) so I'm afraid a lot of my outfit posts over the next few weeks might not be too in keeping with the English weather but hey-ho, some could say I'm a season ahead! 

So like I said, wedding time! And who doesn't love a wedding? It was a beautiful day, beautiful views (I stole some of Ty's pictures!) and beautiful bride. 


Ty wore: Jacket - H&M
T-shirt - Target (Australia)
Jeans - River Island
Shoes - Office

I wore: Jacket - JayJays (Australia)
Dress - H&M (pretty old, definitely not still in stores now!)
Watch - ASOS
Sandals - Aldo

Three ways to wear....a maxi dress...

It's been such odd weather, this time last week I was boiling and moaning I couldn't get cool, now I'm moaning about the total opposite! I've lived in maxi dresses this summer, and I've got a couple that I don't really want to put away in the back of my wardrobe just yet, so here's some different ideas on how to wear yours....

Work

Maxi: Primark
Blazer and handbag: H&M
Belt: off a playsuit from Very Moda

I wore this look quite a bit over the summer with a pleated maxi skirt instead of a dress. It looks quite smart and is nice and comfy, but I’m not sure how much longer you could get away with wearing it for now the weathers turning.

Night

Dress: Primark
Wedges: Forever21
Clutch: Bank

I’d personally never really think to wear a maxi skirt or dress for a night out as my sort of nights out usually involve hours of heavy dancing, spilt drinks from the idiots who frequent my local town, and walking the streets eating chicken nuggets until 5am (I am classy, honest). This would be nice to go for a drink or out for dinner though, and you could put a denim jacket over it for these cold nights we’re not getting.

Day

Dress and Bag: Primark
Boots: Office
Cardigan: New Look

This is my favourite of the looks, and could be worn for so many occasions. It's a great way to bring the maxi dress into the winter and I think you could layer this up underneath quite a lot too with leggings and vest tops for extra warmth.

How else would you wear your maxi dress? Would you still wear it with a jumper for the winter?
