My Favourite Top

My Favourite Top



Last night I went out to the pub for some drinks to celebrate my friend's birthday. And I drove there! Still can't believe I am old enough to do either of those things! Anyway, like I mentioned in my last post I really wanted to share my outfit with you as I was wearing one of my all time favourite tops. 

The top is from Zara and I was lucky enough to get it for Christmas last year. It had caught my eye (and my heart!) while I was shopping with friends at university. But sadly it was near the end of term and my student loan wasn't going to stretch quite that far!



I really do love everything about this top. I love the fabric, even though it is 100% polyester the fabric is really thick and weighty so you don't have to worry about being able to see your bra and it just feels better quality that most other polyester tops. I love the unique print as well. It's very different to a lot of the other items in my wardrobe, not pastel or lace or floral. This printed top looks quite edgy and modern and was a step slightly out of my comfort zone when I bought it. But I think it looks beautiful with the contrasting sleeves and back panel. And as this is quite a loose fitting top I like to wear it with some really well-fitting black skinny jeans and my black heeled boots. 
 


For my makeup last night I did quite a subtle black smoky eye and then used loads of mascara. And I kept my lips really natural with my go to MAC Patisserie lipstick. 
 


I'd love to hear what you think of this outfit in the comments below. And happy Good Friday everyone! xx

The Little Black Dress

The Little Black Dress

I went out last night to see a few old school friends and I wanted to take the opportunity to show you one of my most love dresses at the moment. This little black dress was from H&M a few months ago and I can't stop wearing it. I wore it on a few nights out at university, I wore it on New Years Eve and last night when I had no idea what to wear this is what I grabbed. 

I do think that a little black dress is something that every girl and woman needs. It's just so effortless yet sophisticated. Mine was so reasonable for something like £20 but I think the lace, the shape and the little capped lace sleeves make it look a lot more expensive. I like to keep my jewellery really simple when I wear this so the dress stands out more. Usually just my silver heart necklace and some pearl earrings. And what I really love about this dress at this time of year is that I can wear black tights with it to keep my legs warm and it still looks elegant. It's just so practical!

So if you haven't got one already I really recommend a little black dress. Even if you don't wear a lot of black any other time I think a dress can suit everyone. It's a real wardrobe staple. 

I am really loving this pale blue Topshop nail polish and these silver rings. 

Lace detail and simple jewellery

Already wearing my studded Office flats that I bought in the January sales

Caught! Always on my phone!

Hope you guys are all well. Guessing most people will be back at school and work already. I'm heading back to university this Saturday. And while I really want to see my friends I don't really want to leave my family and my house. 

Also, life news. I passed my driving test yesterday with only 1 minor! :) So happy and so glad that I have got it out the way before I go back. xx

Christmas Party Outfit - Sequins and Stars

Christmas Party Outfit - Sequins and Stars

Last night I had a Christmas party with all the people from my School. It was so lovely to see everyone again and find out what they have been getting up to at work or university. Since coming home from university I haven't really gone out so I wanted to take this opportunity to dress up a little and spend more time on my hair and makeup. 

This was the outfit that I decided to wear last night, I am absolutely in love with these jeans that I picked up from Primark a couple of years ago. They fit really well and I think that they look a lot more expensive than they really were. I paired them with a white blouse, statement necklace, black heeled boots and my sequin clutch.

Jeans - Primark

White top - French Connection

Necklace - Accessorize

Clutch - Accessorize

Watch - Nixon 

Bracelet - Pandora

Nails - Revlon 570 Vixen

For my makeup I wanted to do a little bit of a smokey eye. So I started with a silver in the inner corners then blending to a shimmery grey. I in my crease instead of black I used a navy to pick up the colour from my jeans and clutch. It doesn't look quite as harsh and it is a lot easier to work with. Then I used some black eyeliner on my waterline, a lot of mascara and a glossy natural lip to complete the look. 

Can't believe that it is Christmas Eve already!! I'm so excited for Christmas and presents, and yummy food and Christmas films and funny family games. Hope you all have the most amazing Christmas. 

Merry Christmas! 

Love Katherine xx
