Denim Skirt Styled 5 Ways

I recently bought this denim skirt from ASOS, but it's originally from Missguided. The style was described as 'A line mini', and I chose it because I feel like it works for many different looks and occasions. It can be very casual or dressed up a little. My clothes are usually linked on my 21 buttons (@klara_hughes) if there's anything you like and can't find! I hope this inspires you either way.

*Disclaimer: none of the products I talk about in this post are being advertised, I am just using them and writing about them of my own accord. I also bought all of these items, they aren't gifted*.

Look 1:

I love this look, I wear it for uni or just going into town. In summer, I'd wear this with sandals or converses. In colder weather I'd pop a cardigan and some tights underneath and wear my Adidas campus trainers with it. The jacket in this photo is from M&S and the t-shirt is from ASOS.

Look 2:

I wear this outfit often, it's very casual but just a little more exciting than jeans. The jumper is super warm and cosy, it's also only £5 from Primark! Plus this colour makes my eyes look really blue. I'd wear this with my Adidas superstars.

Look 3:

I like this look as it's a little more dressy, so I could wear it out for dinner for example. I'd pop a cardigan over it for a slightly more relaxed look, or a blazer for a more formal occasion. A smaller necklace to no necklace would also make this look work for a night out. I'd pair this with heels or ballet pumps. This top is from ASOS.

Look 4:

I would wear this outfit for a night out! Paired with some heels (or if you're like me, and always wear flats when you go out my Dr Marten Mary Janes). This body suit is from Nasty Gal!

Look 5:

Like with the first look, I like to wear this outfit to uni or when I pop into town. I'd pair it with trainers or my Dr Martens. If it's colder, I wear tights and a cardigan underneath. The shirt is from New Look and the jacket is from UniQlo.

I hope you have enjoyed this post, I've liked doing this as it's a bit different than what I've done before! Hopefully I've inspired some of you for your own wardrobes.

A Summer Makeup Look

This is a post I love doing, and one of my close friends requested this the other day (hi Ellie-Mae!) so I thought I would do a summer makeup look using my new eyeshadow palette. You can read about how to do it here, or go and watch a tutorial on my brand new youtube channel!! Link here.

I began with concealer. As I don't like a heavy all over coverage in the summer, I don't use foundation or anything like that so this is the only method I have for covering blemishes. Luckily I have quite good skin so this tends to be enough for me but by all means use foundation or whatever you're most comfortable with! I am really pale so cool ivory is the shade for me, but in Boots they will help you find the best shade for you. I blended some under my eyes and covered my spots before moving on to my eyebrows. I find eyebrows such a personal thing, but the pencil pictured on the left is the one I use if you're interested!



After I had done my concealer and brows I moved on to my eyeshadow. I began with the shade 'Nectar' and brushed it over my eyelid up to my brow. This gave a goos base for my eyeshadow and also highlights the underside of the brow. If you don't have this palette, any pale nude will do for this stage of the look.

Next I used 'Just Peachy' to define the crease of my eye, blending it upwards with a very soft eye shadow brush. Any light pink shade will do for this, if you are attempting this look with a different eyeshadow. Please ignore my eyebrow in this photo it really needs plucking haha.



Next I brushed 'Candied Peach' over the inner half of my eye. This is a very peachy colour (salmon pink maybe?) for those of you attempting to find replacements. Then I added 'Summer Yum' to the outer half, a darker but similar colour. I then blended them together in the middle of the lid.

Finally, I blended 'Delectable' into the outer crease and lower lash line. This is a deep purple colour if you are trying to find it somewhere else! Then I added the L'Oreal False Lash Superstar X Fiber mascara, using only side one on my bottom lashes and both sides on my top lashes. I decided against eyeliner though.

I then used a powder brush to lightly bronze over my cheek bones and contour areas. (No.7 match perfect if you want this one! I like it because it's not too dark). As it is a summer look I just wanted to look a little more tanned! I then added highlight, choosing to use elf shimmer in shade gold. I just brushed that over my cheekbones to add to the bronzer.

 I finished the look with a lipstick from smashbox. In case you can't see the image of it, the shade I used is called 'Be Legendary' and it's a lovely quite dark nudey pink. It's a matte lipstick but it's not liquid which I like because it dries my lips out way less! I still recommend putting lip balm on before hand though!




So here is the finished look! This is a close up of the eye makeup (left) and below is a selfie of the full look! I hope that this has been useful to at least some of you, and Ellie-Mae I hope you enjoyed it! Go have a look at the video of this on YouTube too if you want to see more of how I did it :)
