Christmas Tag!

It seems like I haven't written a blog post in foreverrrr! Sorry about that, I'm still here! After reading through a few blogs I saw that the Christmas Tag was becoming quite popular so I decided to take a few questions I liked and answer them for you :) 

Do you prefer a real or synthetic Christmas tree?

For as long as I remember, I've always had a synthetic tree because I find it'll be a lot cheaper and less messy!

Favourite colour scheme when decorating the tree?

We don't really have a "theme" on the family Christmas tree,it's all a bit of everything! I'd probably say if I had my own tree it would be red white, and silver!

Do you get dressed up on Christmas day?

Kind of, myself and my brother usually receive an outfit for Christmas so we usually wear that.

Favourite Christmas movie?

ELF by far! 

Favourite Christmas song?

Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas is you, or any Michael Buble's songs!

When do you open Christmas presents?

We open all of the presents in the morning once we've had breakfast. Then my auntie and uncle come round later to deliver their presents!

There you have it - my Christmas tag! I tag all of those reading this to do this tag and leave a link as a comment! :)

Primark Haul | November 2013

I never have enough patience with Primark, it's normally super busy so I, most of the time, can never be bothered to have a look. But today was different, I knew from reading a few blog posts and watching a few YouTube videos that Primark had a few gems in! 

The first item I got was a plain black skater style dress. This was a bargain at £5. It's just a simple skater dress, the material is stretchy so it fits nicely. This isn't short, it comes just above the knee. I'll style this with some black tights and a cardigan or jumper over top.

Next, I picked up a similar dress but this time in a red/purple colour. This colour is so autumnal but wearable throughout all of the seasons. The arms on this are 3/4 length which is perfect for winter. Again, this comes just above the knee and was £5. I will wear this the same way I do the black one. These dresses are such a staple piece and affordable. Bonus!

I next got this chunky cardigan. It's black, white and grey so it's wearable with pretty much everything. It doesn't need to be buttoned up but there are a few buttons just in case you prefer it to be done up. This was just £10 so will be great to throw over anything, including the dresses!

The last two pieces I got were this dungaree type things, but it's a skirt so I'm not sure what to call it, oops! But you know what I mean. This was £12 I also purchased a white t-shirt which is called "My Boyfriend T", it's just a plain t-shirt with rolled up sleeves, a very simple piece! This was just £3.50

So, that's everything I purchased from Primark, have you got any pieces from Primark lately?

OOTD

Ooh, two post in one weekend? Steady on Luce! haha.

Today I thought I'd share with you the outfit which I wore today, I only went up town, nothing special! But I really liked how it looked together, so here goessss! :)

Dress: Topshop, Blazer: Primark

So I paired this cute Topshop skater-style dress with the blazer I got from Primark the other week. The blue detailing on the blazer is what made me pair it up with the dress. The dress was only £12 in the sale at Topshop and the blazer is £13 and I believe Primark still sell them. It is such a versatile piece so grab it while you can!

I didn't add any accessories because I wanted it to look like a simple "everyday look" rather than a evening outfit. I put some black tights on which were from Primark because I thought I would be too cold with my legs uncovered.

For shoes I went with my burgundy/maroon converse from Office to add a different colour to the outfit.

For the make-up with this outfit, I went with a very neutral eye with a slight darker outer corner. For my base I used my Match Perfection foundation and Natural Collection pressed powder.

I'd love to get some inspiration for outfits this Autumn so if you have any OOTDs on your blog, please leave them below! :)

Lots of love, Lucy x
