Lipstick Review. Oh Laaa Laaa

Hello Beauties,
On my recent trip to topshop I was scouring the make-up shelves initially hoping to purchase 'Brighton Rock'. Unfortunately they did not have my desired lipstick of choice in stock, even though I live in a capital city and the store is rather large the lipstick range they have is limited! I was on a mission and intended to not leave topshop without a new lipstick, luckily I fell head over heels for 'Oh La La'.
'Oh la la' is a coral lip with a peachy creme tone. It is very comfortable on the lip and smells lightly of vanilla, which is undetected once applied. The formula of topshop lipsticks are lovely and smooth and I very rarely have a grumble with them.



Have you tried any of topshop's lipstics?
Let's just hope they have 'brighton rock' next time!
Love,

Saturday Night, Dance, I Like the Way You Move, Pretty Baby.

Hello Beauties,
Last saturday night I went out with my lovely girlfriends, we had a fabulous night out, fuelled with many a delicious cocktail. I thought i'd share what I wore with the use of Polyvore. A fashion website where you can gather your outfits and favourites in one set.

The dress is a firm favourite of mine, it has a simple black corset top with lace panelling down the sides and it has a skater style chiffon skirt attached, from miss selfridge. I wore my amazing rose gold accent platform heels from zara which are super comfy and so easy to walk in! I teamed the outfit with the beloved black YSL clutch, Nars bronzer, Topshop lipstick in oh la la  which I have reviewed here and my favourite eyelure eyelashes.

Below is the very apt song 'Saturday Night' from Whigfield, although it was released back in 1993 it is still a firm favourite of mine! Take a listen when you're next getting ready for a night out or a night in, it's on my playlist!

As Sweet as Parma Violets

Hello beauties,
I thought I would share with you my violet nails feautured in my last outfit post that you can read here. Everytime i'm in Topshop a new polish some how finds it's way home with me (after paying for it of course!). The last time I was having a wander in Topshop I came across this violet beauty, 'parma violet' is a milky creme shade. I thought it would take a while to build up but with two coats and a top coat of seche viete my manicure was complete. The Topshop polishes do apply like a dream and with their extensive colourful collection growing, so is mine!
At £5 a pop and super cute packaging how could you leave it behind?




Have you ever tried a Topshop nail polish?
Love,

OOTD. Monday's a Breeze When the Sun Shines

Hello lovelies, 
Last Monday the majority of the UK saw a lovely summers day. I decided to put on my summer specials and head out for a day of sunshine, ice cream and lovely food!
When the sun shines I always revert back to my classic yellow silk skirt that has a ribbon waist band from Topshop, it feels so girly and floaty, I love it. I usually pair it with a cream silk racer back vest that has a zip down the back which is also from Topshop. On this occasion it was rather warm and a plain white Jersey drop arm vest suited better. My gold necklace is vintage and is from the 1920's, I wear it with everything and anything. The shoes are my trusty 'Gena' wedges from Dune.




I hope you've had a nice summers day.
Love,
Belle.x
