Hen Night

Dress: Three Floor. 

Shoes: Zara (sold out but ASOS have a similar shaped sandal here).

Last night I celebrated my hen night (bachelorette party to the Americans) with my nearest and dearest. It was such an amazing night and my friends arranged the whole thing. I felt like a very lucky girl indeed!

I had set my heart on wearing yellow and when I saw this dress it was love at first sight. It's so vibrant and felt like the perfect dress to party the night away in London town.

I think I may have blinded people with my outfit today. I have welcomed the coloured denim trend into my closet with open arms.

The Steve Madden shoes are still a firm favourite. I even wear them to events- they're just sooooooooo comfortable. I added a black pair to my collection this week. They're a nice wallet friendly alternative to my much worn Prada loves.

A twist of neon lime to brighten an overcast day :) 

I've been wearing a LOT of faux leather recently. I had to stop myself from buying another pair of faux leather leggings today. Sometimes you can have too much of a good thing!

Shoes: TopShop. Jeans: Car Mar (very similar pair here). 

Blouse: TopShop. Watch: Michael Kors.

I wore this outfit with black boots and a leather jacket during the day and then switched out the boots for these sandals and a sparkly clutch for cocktails with the boy in the evening.

I'm wearing my go to red lip 'ruby woo' by mac. Still the best red out there in my opinion!

I still feel incredibly lucky that I get to borrow beautiful clothes. I fell in love with the deep green colour of this dress and can see myself searching for the exact same hue come fall.

I had quite a few emails asking about my make up look for this event. I like to do my own makeup so here's the full 'How To':

*Apply Nars 'sheer glow' liquid foundation to areas that need it. I focus on under eye and a little on chin and nose. 

*Dab MAC 'strobe cream' onto cheek and brow bones.

*Lightly dust Shu Uemura face powder over oily areas. Use sparingly to keep the skin 'dewy'.

*Use an angled brush to apply gel liner to top eye lids. I'm using 'black track' by MAC.

*Apply two full coats of mascara. I used Covergirl 'Lash Blast Fusion'.

*Add lashes. I used a couple of Shu Uemura's 'slim partial' accent lashes. They're a nice alternative to a full strip of lashes which I think can look a bit fake. You may need to adjust your liner after applying the lashes. I usually wait until my lashes are dry to add the 'flicked' part of my liner.

*Smile and brush Nars 'Orgasm' onto the apples of your cheeks.

*Finish with MAC 'Ruby Woo' lipstick. This lipstick is super matt and has amazing staying power but because it is so dry you need to prep the lips with a light lip balm. Use a lip brush if you don't like using lip liner

Remember the saying "pink and green should never be seen"? It does not apply to these shoes! They should be seen with everything. Surprisingly comfortable too. 

These jeans are the ones I tweeted about. They're the pink Jamie jeans from TopShop. I had to have them shortened but I've already worn them four times so it was totally worth it. I'm toying with the idea of buying these orange ones that I posted here.

Coloured Denim

Mint green jeans: Rag & Bone. Hot pink capri jeans: ASOS. 

Blue, royal blue & Orange jeans: J Brand.

I'm kind of obsessed with coloured jeans at the moment. I've bought two pairs and counting!

Those Orange J Brand lovelies are definitely on my wish list :)

Approximations of this outfit have become almost my 'audition' uniform whilst here in LA. I love the reliability of a silk shirt, they're a true cornerstone in my closet. I loved the shape of this one so much that I bought it in two colours. See the grey one here.

I hit the vintage market on Fairfax and Melrose this weekend. If any of you plan to be in LA soon, it's well worth a visit. I got another pair of the denim cut offs that I love so much. $10!!! Don't get me started on how much these cost in Urban Outfitters in the UK! See my old pair here, here & here. The new ones will be up as soon as it's warm enough to wear them again.... It's actually been cold here this week. Yuck.
