Clubbing With Velvet

Seeing as last week I shared my go-to bar outfit, I thought I'd show you a clubbing outfit too. This is something I've worn on multiple occasions and I think it's a really fun and appropriate outfit. 

I try not to dress too wacky to draw attention to myself, but I like having statement pieces that require no effort whatsoever - that way I'm never worrying about how I look, and I can just have a good time!

For my statement I have a purple velvet skirt from Forever 21. I hope velvet is still a trend this year because I absolutely love it, but I think to wear it you have to wear it with toned down pieces so I have on this really simple black crop top from Topshop - it's not available anymore but you can get plain crop tops from just about anywhere - and also a pair of black heeled sandals.

August Favourites

I haven't been trying many new things this month, but I had a few favourites that I thought I'd share.

The first is the St Ives Blemish Fighting Apricot Scrub and this stuff is an exfoliating face scrub that really gets rid of any dirt on your face that can lead to spots. I think this is amazing, right after I use this my face is so refreshed and is visibly clear, and even though this month I have had some terrible breakouts, I feel like when I use this it really gets to work on getting rid of them, and also preventing them where they threaten to emerge too. 

The second is the NYC Smooth Skin Bronzer in Sunny and this is probably the best drugstore bronzer I've tried - and seeing as I've never tried a high end bronzer, I'd have to say it's my favourite bronzer ever. Wow how many times am I gonna say bronzer?! But really this product isn't orange or muddy and it works really well on my skin tone. It's really easy to blend as well - I can make it natural as well as a little more dramatic, I'm so amazed it's so cheap!

Next up I've got Maybelline's The Rocket Volume Express Mascara, and I've been using this a lot recently and I've only just realised how amazing it is. It really lengthens my lashes and makes them look full and voluminous.

Lastly it has to be my go to lipstick, Bourjois Une Lip Toned Colour Lipstick in the shade 07. This is very much a 'my lips but better' lip product. I like using this when I want a little extra something without having a really obvious colour on my lips. I have been wearing for about 2 weeks non stop so I have to say it's on my list of all time favourites!

Sundays

Yesterday I was inspired by Sundays, and I was thinking about doing a post on my go-to bar/pub outfit, so I thought why not make a day of it and actually take in how pretty this little street is by the pier.  

I was so lucky the sun came out, it looks like I live in such a sweet fairy tale village when really it's the complete opposite, (it kicked off in the pub and it didn't shock anyone). I love the Sunday's when we are blessed with mild weather and just a dash of sun because it inspires my family to go on country walks and I thought I'd have a tiny one of my own with my boyfriend. 

I found this door sign and I thought it was incredibly funny, it reminded me of a little seaside house and it's just so adorable!

This is the outfit I wanted to show - I featured this shirt in a favourites post but I wanted to show how I'd style it and I thought it'd be nice for a smart casual event such as going to a bar, but also a casual day where you just want to look put together. I don't wear jewellery on the regular, but if I do I like it to be statement so I don't have to wear too much, so I thought this super simple necklace worked really well with this outfit.

Can we take a moment to appreciate these gorgeous shoes I just bought from H&M? I've seen brogues/loafers everywhere and I have fallen in love with them. They can be styled in so many different ways - so be on the lookout for a styling post - and I think they are shoes for many occasions too. 

And, of course, I had to find a cat didn't I? I can never ignore a cat, they're are just so cute!
