Get Ready With Me ~ End of Summer Party

So summer has officially ended (in my eyes at least) but my friends and I decided to have one last hoorah before the cold time of year started and everyone began leaving home to go off to University! This meant a great opportunity for a get ready with me for the look I chose to wear. I decided to show you my makeup, hair and outfit for a cute gathering, so enjoy...

Firstly my makeup was kept quite simple with just a bit of glittery eye makeup and some extra bronzer (so I looked like I had actually had a sunny summer). Here are the products that I used...




Stay Time Long Wear primer ~ Seventeen
Healthy Mix Anti-Fatigue foundation ~ Bourjois Paris (51, Light Vanilla)
Wake Me Up Anti-Fatigue Skin Brightening concealer ~ Rimmel London (010, Ivory)
Lasting Perfection concealer ~ Collection (01, Fair)
Brow Zings eyebrow kit ~ Benefit (5)
Eyes Uncovered Nude Palette eyeshadow ~ Collection
Infaillible stylo eyeliner ~ L'Oréal Paris
Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer eyeliner ~ Rimmel London
Miss Baby Roll mascara ~ L'Oréal Paris
Define & Conquer contour kit ~ Seventeen
Duo Chromatic Illuminating Powder highlighter ~ NYX (04, Snow Rose)
Glittery light pink blush ~ Collection (04, Trouble)
Lasting Finish powder ~ Rimmel London (001, Light Porcelain)

Next for hair I kept it super simple by keeping my naturally curly hair and scraping it up into a high ponytail. All I did to get my wavy curls was wash my hair the night before and then I did 2 French plaits once my hair was damp and only took them out in the morning once my hair was fully dry.

Lastly my outfit; I decided to go for something that looked as pretty and summery as possible with lots of layers so I could still look fancy but feel warm too...



Black and white pinstriped culotte playsuit ~ New Look, white knitted cropped jumper ~ Topshop, oversized denim jacket ~ ASOS, white Adidas ~ Office



And that's it! My last properly summer-type outfit and now it's straight to oversized jumpers, tights, boots and more, and I can't wait!!

Dreaming of Denim

Helloooooo, time for another outfit post as I've actually been trying with my outfits recently! I decided to give more of a specified outfit post this time, particularly because summer is coming to an end but the weather is still so unpredictable. For this, I decided to focus on denim; a staple in any person's wardrobe that can make a really chill outfit or give a fancier look all year round, whether it's shorts in summer or jeans in winter, and it's definitely something I wear almost everyday! So, with that, I decided to show you how I styled some staple denim pieces and what to wear with them...




Long sleeved pink jumper ~ H&M, denim skirt ~ Topshop, light pink Adidas ~ Office




Long sleeved white top ~ New Look, ripped skinny jeans ~ Topshop, Black studded healed sandals ~ Topshop





Short sleeved white t-shirt ~ Forever 21, denim dungarees ~ New Look, white Adidas ~ Office, Little black rucksack ~ Topshop




And there we go; another outfit post with three of my favourite looks for this end-of-summer time of year that have all incorporated denim in different ways. I think summer is officially coming to a close now so no more shorts unfortunately, but I'm so ready for cosy autumn jumpers and wrapping up warm in the winter time!
