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!

Best Day In London

Best Day In London

Yesterday I went up to London with my family and had such a lovely day. Mum, Sarah and I went up first and went to the Christmas markets by the Tate Modern. They were really lovely and made me feel even more festive. I managed to finally get Sarah a Christmas present! 

This was a stall selling really beautiful leaf jewellery made from the skeletons of real leaves. 

I also spotted a beautiful scarf at this stall which mum bought but I am determined to get back!

We then went to meet Dad and Nick in a bar in the Shard. We spent a while having a drink, eating some very yummy chips and making the most of the amazing view. 

It was just a nice treat, I just wish I had dressed up a bit more. 

Then we went back to Borough Market where they had this beautiful mistletoe Christmas display. 

I also bought the most incredible brownie from a stall in Borough Market. It was huge and rich and gooey and I had to go back to buy a couple more to take home!

After Borough Market we walked along Oxford Street for a little bit. I went to Forever 21 for the first time in ages (there isn't one very near in Manchester) and bought a beautiful dress. This is the cutest Christmas window display at Selfridges. I went a bit crazy and took at least on photo of every window as they were all so beautiful but I'll only show you this one or we will be here forever!

The lights on Oxford Street were so pretty and above the huge Boots there is a snow machine and it makes everything feel magical. 

But they didn't compare to the beautiful peacock inspired Christmas lights on Bond Street. Mum had read about these and was so desperate to see them and was so happy when we finally found them!

So we managed to get quite a lot done yesterday but it really was such a lovely day. Two days left until Christmas now (and I still have presents to wrap!). Speak soon xx

Christmas In My Bedroom

Christmas In My Bedroom

Wanted to just share with you a few of the little Christmassy things that I have done around my bedroom. I haven't really done a lot but kept it pretty and simple so I hope you like it. 

Every year I like to have this little white tree in my bedroom. I decorate it with little silver and white ornaments and a snowflake on the top so it all goes with the rest of my bedroom. 

I like to hang these little white snowflakes all over my bedroom. 

This is my favourite winter candle at the moment. It smells amazing and I can't stop burning it. 

In love with the beautiful sequinned snowflake. 

And of course my fairy lights are a must!

Pretty cuddly things on my bed. 

And a little bit of Christmas Michael to complete the mood!

Hope you are all feeling super festive now! Only a few more days to go! xx
