Get The Look 08

Pink Skirt £19.75 Forever 21 , 'Crimson' Lipstick £6 M&S , Blue Shirt £15 River Island , Nude Heels £60 Asos

This look is from Twenty8Twelve which is Sienna Millers joint designer brand she has with her sister, they have a great way of showing a relaxed summery style. I have always liked their collections especially their summer ones, this look is pretty and quite simple but its definitely not plain with the denim shirt. I like the fact they have mixed feminine with masculine, adding the court shoes have stopped it from being too relaxed. Ive also put it with the the 'Crimson' lipstick from Marks and Spencer's beauty range, there has been hype about this before I do think its a great lipstick especially for a bargain £6. Obviously the only thing with this look is you will have to flash some flesh where your legs are concerned, I don't think it would work with tights with the dusky pink skirt. With so many good fake tan products out you cant go wrong with getting out your pins, or you could go on holiday to get your summer glow (perfect excuse to go away so you can wear skirts....)

What do you think of this look? Would you wear it?

Razzmatazz Tuesday

I picked this nail varnish up while browsing in Topshop the other day, its called Razzmatazz and I love it. I love glitter nail varnishes but there isn't always that many decent colours out there, a lot of them are very bright or barely there. This lilac/silver colour is great I like the fact hat it picks up so many different colours through the glitter and it isn't just a rough grainy varnish as some glitter ones are. I wasn't sure how the build up would be as the first layer that went on was quite clear, but this is what it looks like after two coats. I think it looks good with two coats its easy to apply and the glitter is quite thick so it covers the nail well, next time I might do three layers and see if that makes it a little stronger. As Ive said before I'm a big fan of Topshop nail varnishes, I have my eye on a couple more of the glitter varnishes so I'll get them some time this week and blog them. What do you think of this nail varnish? Do you like the glitter trend?

Pout Paint

Ive been trying to get my hands on the Sleek range for ages but every time its sold out, finally I managed to get the last one of the pink Pout Paints. I was so excited I put it on as soon as I got it and I have to say I love it!

Its a bright almost neon pink stain (a lot brighter than in my photo) that you can wear alone or mix with other lip products, I personally love the fact that its so bright Il be wearing it on its own. They do some slightly strange colours in the Pout Paint range I saw a bright blue, I'm guessing this is a good colour to mix with not sure I could quite pull it off.

It says on the tube you only need a small amount and I have to say the tube doesn't lie, more than a drop and it spreads like wildfire I didn't see this at first so I slapped it on only to look like a drunk old lady (minus the blue eyeshadow). Once I got the hang of it I really was impressed with the colour, it goes on really easy and the colour is even and not sticky or dry. I usually find with stains it dries as your still applying it so it becomes patchy and dry but this is glossy.

I will say though the one thing that was a slight problem is when it dries on your hands it stains good. I had to wash my hands quite a few times to get it off it was messy so I definitely think it has to be applied with a lip brush. This could be slightly annoying on a night out when you've had a few Sherry's but I'm willing to give it a go as so far I'm converted and will be buying more.

What do you think have you tried these? Did you like them?

Get The Look 07

Dress £49.99 Zara, Handcuff Necklace £6 Asos, 'Ruby Woo' Lipstick £13.50 Mac, Champagne Sandals £65 Office

Every girl loves a bit of Christian Dior and when I saw this dress I wanted it its a great flirty shape to suit all sizes. The thing is for most of us to get our hands on this dress we would have to sell our houses to get it, so
I was surprised to see this similar dress in Zara for only £49.99. I think its the perfect summer night dress, great for any lucky gals out there going on a date (I'm still waiting for Johnny Depp, he will call......)

These shoes from office are perfect dancing shoes and they are always in store, I have a friend who gets a new pair every few months to replace the battered pair that's done the rounds at party's/weddings etc. Not great if your like me and can be a bit lazy with the feet though, I always neglect mine and then really regret it when people stare at them.

I thought 'Ruby Woo' would be a great shade of lippy as its the perfect red to me, It pretty much goes with every skin tone I think everyone should own this lipstick (and many more if your like me). The picture doesn't show a necklace but I think it needs something, as I am like Mr T I cant go out without bling, so I thought this simple necklace would look good.

Is this your perfect date look? Have you seen similar styles else where that is easier on the purse?

Monochrome

Yesterday I was a bit naughty and went and bought some (well a lot) of things I really didn't need......

This monochrome shirt was one of them, although it was only £10 from Primark so really its justified!

I saw a similar one in Topshop for a hell of a lot more and although the quality may be better for throw away fashion its perfect. I was really impressed with the shirts they have in at the moment you can get four shirts from Primark for the price of one from Topshop.

I'm also wearing my new pink Sleek Pout Paint that I got yesterday, I managed to snap the last one that hadn't been opened. I'm finding it really difficult at the moment to get my hands on the Sleek range in Birmingham, everywhere I go its sold out or ruined. I really want one of the Sleek lipsticks in Mystic has anyone managed to bag one of these?

Also I have a new nail varnish on ( I know I didn't need another but its glitter) its from Topshop and its called Razzmatazz, its a lilac glitter and I love it I feel a bit like a drag queen but in a good way.

I will be blogging about these two new products later, Has anyone else had a guilty splurge this weekend?

Get The Look 06...........

Orange Blazer £45 Miss Selfridge, Black Caged Heels £50 River Island, White Sunglasses £18 Jeepers Peepers, Black & White Shorts £30 Asos, Orange Clutch £29.99 Zara

This orange look is from designer Rebecca Minkoff, I'm seeing this colour everywhere it was all over the S/S catwalks and obviously filtered into the high street. I love it I think it suits most people and can definitely make a statement when worn well.

I never usually match a bag to an outfit exactly but I think it works here, I really like this Zara bag its not too dressy and you can wear it either way (the strap is detachable). The shoes from River Island are pretty much an exact copy of the ones seen on the catwalk, they look comfy for heels and are probably less than a third of the price. I'm not a massive fan of white sunglasses they always remind me of Kanye West, but I think because the outfit is tailored they actually look good.

Obviously I'm showing this outfit as an exact copy but you can of course mix and match to what you would prefer, I have seen a wicked orange lace blazer in River Island that would be great too.

What do you think of this look? Is orange a good colour for you?

Get The Look 05.......

Zigzag Coat £90 Asos, White Tshirt £10 Topshop, Orange Snakeskin Heels £35 Office, Grey Shorts £22 Topshop, Orange Court Shoes £22.99 New Look

This summer look is from designer Roksanda Ilincic, I really loved her relaxed tailoring style from S/S12 I like mixing pop/bright colours. I know the coat doesn't quite scream summer but we all know the weather in the UK doesn't always do what we want. I think as long as you get a nice summer colour you cant go wrong, I also think a floral Mac would look amazing with the grey shorts.

 I think the Orange Snakeskin Heels from Office are a bargain they have gone from £65 to £35 in the sale, so if you like them get in there quick!. The orange court shoes from new look are another great alternative as they have a lower heel, If you wanted to wear it in the day they would be great. Heels in the day aren't always the best I know I struggle when I'm running round but you could replace them with similar colour flats. What do you think of this simple but chic look? would you wear this?
