What I Wore to my Friend’s Wedding

Hi everyone,
This weekend has been yet another busy one for me. Today is my mum’s birthday, and tomorrow will be her husband’s birthday as well as their 1st wedding anniversary, but perhaps the most exciting event of the last few days was my close friend’s wedding yesterday! I’ve known Kat for 11 years, since seconday school, and she is the first out of our group of friends to get married, so it was a very special day 
The bride looked absolutely beautiful and I was so proud of her – it was wonderful to see her so happy and I wish her and her lovely husband the very best for their future together.
You may remember that a few weeks ago I posted about What I Wore to my Step Brother’s Wedding, so I thought I’d do a similar post about what I wore yesterday. The colour scheme of the wedding was powder blue and baby pink, so I thought I’d go all girly and incorporate some pink shades into my look. As you can see, I kept it simple and went for a far less dramatic make up look than last time…
Make Up used:
- Benefit Porefessional.
- Colortrend Fresh Face Oil-Free Foundation in ‘Ivory Beige’.
- Colortrend Perfect and Hide Concealer in ‘Light’.
- MUA Pressed Powder in ‘Shade 1′.
- The Body Shop Lip & Cheek Stain (used on cheeks) in ‘Rose Pink’.
- MUA Pretty Pastels Eyeshadow Palette – Shades 4 and 11.
- MUA Immaculate Collection Eyeshadow Palette – Shades 8 and 9.
- Avon Glimmerstick Eye Liner in ‘Blackest Black’.
- Bellápierre Lash Building Mascara in ‘Black’.
- Avon Glow Lip Gloss in ‘Ultra Violet’.
- Dress from Chiara Fashion.
- Shoes from Primark.
- Necklace from Avon
- Bag (not pictured) from eBay, originally from M&S.
I hope you’ve all had a fun weekend too!

Summer Dress Bargains!

This past week I’ve treated myself to a few pretty dresses ready for late Spring/Summer, and all of them have been fantastic bargains!
The first dress I bought was a mustard and black belted skater style dress from Chiara Fashion. It cost £4.95 (plus p+p) in the sale.
I don’t usually wear yellow but this is a really lovely shade and, as an added bonus, I even have a nail varnish which is a perfect match!
This second dress was from Primark and cost just £3 in the sale! I swear Primark put some of their stock straight into the sale without trying to sell it full price first as I’d never seen this before, but hey, I’m not complaining! I think the button detail is really cute and the colours really stand out. The dress is even shaped at the breast and slightly fitted at the waist for a flattering fit.
My last purchase is my absolute favourite and the most expensive at £10 from Asda. I adore purple and bright colours and this dress was just made for me – it’s just so pretty! It is a similar cut to the Primark dress above and is made of light cotton, which is perfect for warm days. I may dress this with leggings and a shrug tomorrow though as I can’t wait to wear it.
And of course, here’s an obligatory changing room shot…
Which dress do you like best? Have you started your summer dress shopping yet?
