Save On Make Up: Designer Make-Up On a Budget

Jumpsuits are a staple item in my wardrobe, theres something about them that makes me feel so comfortable! I decided to do a little post on 3 different ways you can style this D ring jumpsuit from Forever Modo. It's always good to freshen up your wardrobe and mix up certain styles! I hope this gives you some inspiration on how to team different items together depending on the occasion.

That 70's Style

Fedora : ASOS

Dress : ASOS

Boots : Shelly's London

Bag : Zara

I went out over the weekend and did the whole 'ahh I need something to wear for tomorrow, quick lets order something from Asos (making the most of my Asos premier, the life saver that is)' thing. I knew I wanted to wear a dress and ended up buying 4 of them. Yes, FOUR!

One of those four dresses, was this gorgeous oxblood, boho, seventies style smock dress. I instantly loved the overall over sized look of the dress - perfect for hiding those food babies - and the overhang of the sleeves over the cuffs. Not to mention the colour! I feel that as the sunny weather seems to have gone for good up North, I'm outfit planning for ahead and thinking of winter colours as opposed to making the most of my Summer frocks.

I've been loving the whole'70's style' that's around at the moment. I feel that it's something I can actually wear without feeling I'm showing too much flesh as most other dresses around right now are all boob & bum! The only bad thing about this dress is that it creases the moment you take it off the ironing board! :(

I styled this outfit with my trusty fedora & Shelly's London boots which are by far my fave pair of shoes. I really need to buy another pair of these as I know when they start to fall apart, I'll regret not investing!

Is anyone else planning their Winter attire already, or am I the only one?

Cuff That

Dress // Missguided - Heels // LILY LULU* - Bag // ASOS - Ear Cuff // Body Jewellery Shop*

I've always been a fan of ear piercing's, or piercings in general for that matter. At this current time I must have over 11 piercings, all on my ears mind, and one being my nose. This means I'm always on the hunt for new tragus bars and studs to pop in my ears to change it up (I get bored verrrry easily!). So when I saw the large variety that the Body Jewellery Shop had to offer, I got excited!

They very kindly sent me their Flower Tragus Bar, Feather Tragus Bar & the ultimate Kylie Jenner wannabe 5 Hoop Ear Cuff (this was my fave).

I took the 5 Hoop Ear Cuff for a spin when I headed to The MCR Fashion Event this Sunday and adored how it added some flare to my simplistic outfit. It was subtle and I liked it!

Paris Outfit #3 Stripe It Up ft. Chi Chi London

Jumpsuit // Topshop - Waistcoat // LILY LULU - Fedora // ASOS - Shoes // Boohoo

Bag // Chi Chi London*

As I was in Paris, it was only fitting that one of the days I was there I wore some black & white stripes. I just needed to replace my fedora for a beret hat and I would have practically passed as being French (so stereotypical I know, I apologise).

I managed to snap up this monochrome jumpsuit from Topshop just in time before another lady did! muahahaha! It's so comfy and literally feels like I'm wearing my Pj's! I teamed it with my good 'ol fedora & this lovely duster waistcoat from LILY LULU.

I was also very kindly gifted this Antonia bag by Chi Chi London and thought it tied in nicely with this outfit as it broke away from the whole monochrome vibe I had obviously gone for. I don't usually go for clutch bags, but the tassels got me (big lover of anything with tassels) and it's surprisingly roomy! I managed to fit my Olympus Pen in there quite comfortably too! It also comes with a cute golden chain so you can wear it hung off your shoulder and a little hidden zip just underneath the flap! Winning all round!

My post about what I got up to this day to follow! :)

Paris Day #2: The Tour Bus & Sore Feet

On our second day in Paris, we decided we had to be true tourist & take the open air tour bus around the city. As it was such a short trip, we had to get all the sights in that we wanted to see as easy as possible. For 32 euros a ticket we has access to different coloured routes around the city and they we pretty much got to see everything in just one day! It was also nice to ride around on the bus and just see how beautiful the entire city was.

Our first stop was Sephora! As 2 girls, in Paris, we just had to hop off & go in! We spent a good 5 minutes oooing and ahhhing over the coloured lights and spiral staircase and doing a mini photo shoot before we began to get weird stares!

We then went on to see the Louvre, Love lock bridge, Notre Dame, Ladurée but unfortunately it rained when we headed up to the Arc De Triomphe so we were unable to be true tourists there! I also wanted to visit the memorial site of where Lady Diana died, but time was of the essence, so we headed back to the apartment to freshen up & headed back down the Champs Elysees later that evening.

Paris is a funny day on a Tuesday. It's almost like a Sunday here.. A lot of places aren't open and the McDonalds closed at 2am. Which kind of ridiculousness is that!? haha!
