NIGHT OUT GLAM


Hello Salala people and welcome back!! Today we are talking about night out glam. From clothes to shoes to make up. Yeap the whole lot!!


What do you usually wear when you go out? When I was in uni it was all about a mini dress and  super platform heels. Now there is more thought process into it. For example, I tend to prefer longer figure hugging pencil skirts and elegant one-strap heels along with a clutch bag.I think that's because my style has matured just a little (I am still 22 guys!!) .I like to expose only one part of the body. So its either , legs, boobs or tummy NOT all at onceeee. 

For today's look I was actually inspired by the one and only Kim K. I got a loose white ASOS top I tied it into a knot and paired it with a black lace bra. This combo is something I will sporting in the summer time with bright coloured lace bras and a good tan (that I will make sureeeee to have;)

Also here I am showing off my new MOTEL ROCKS pencil skirt. Believe it or not I sometimes wear it in work along with a buttoned up shirt and a waist belt.So ladies a pencil skirt is a multi-purpose investment.  






For hair I couldn't decide between a loose behind the ears look or a low ponytail.

In regards to make-up Salala people after loads of attempts and youtube tutorials  I am happy to announce that I have finally learnt how to contour my face! There has been a big buzz over the last year  about  contouring even though its  a trick that make-up artists have been using like forever.  Many girls will pick two different hues of face make-up to define their bone structure. However , I stick to one shade of foundation Rimmel London wake me up (my saviour!!) and then start enhancing my cheek bones  with the darkest shade of the Sleek make-up pallette; I purchased from Boots. For mascara I stick to my favourite Hypnose Doll Eyes from Lancome and for lips I start with a maybelline liner and fill in with my Elizabeth Arden dark lipstick.

JANUARY WISHLIST FROM ASOS

 Hello Salala people. Here I am its only the first week of January and I am already lusting a few (non-discounted) items. What can I say a girl is allowed to dream. I have set myself a limit this month as I spent way toooo much on Christmas shopping. So the list below even though it consists of fairly priced clothing is only a Wishlist girlsss (I PROMISE ha!) 

ASOS £36 find it HERE

 I am in love with this a-line off shoulder baby blue dress mostly because its so versatile. I can be wearing it with killer nude high heels and gold accessories in a night out or even with flat leather sandals and walking along in a Greek Island. 

                                                           ASOS £28 find it HERE

I am in desperate need of a boyish but yet girlie shirt and this one is exactly what I was looking for. I would be tucking it in my favourite high waisted denim jeans or layering it under an oversized jumper.

ASOS £24 find it HERE

Well this front wrap jersey top is sashy but without showing tooo much skin.It will look amazing with white shorts, a blazer and high heels (You can tell I love dressing up for nights out!!)



Thank you for reading

PRINTED SKIRT

Hello Salala people!! Happy New Year hope you have all enjoyed your holidays. I certainly have!!  This was the first Christmas in 3 years that I managed to get time off from work. Whilst I was a student I was working in Selfridges and as a result I had to work throughout the festive season and yes on the most hated day in retail :BOXING DAY. I must admit I appreciate my office based job even more when I think I didn't need to interact with customers going crazy and literally fighting over discounted items. 

 So instead , for the last two weeks I have been going out drinking and eating excessively. But I have decided January will be a detox month . Yeap Salala people with this post I commit myself to a whole month of being 100% sober...(lets see how that goes) . 

Today I wanted to show off one of the skirts I have worn many times now during this autumn/winter. 


 A turtle neck or a jumper along with a printed skirt is one of my go to looks. So girlie,playful and classy all at the same time. 










Used my new selfie stick for these shots by the way ha!
