OOTN | House party!

Friday just gone I was invited to a house party by one of my best friends, Zoe. I genuinely didn't have a single clue on what to wear, so after a lot of searching through blogs I finally came up with an outfit which I'm now going to share with you!

I wore this cream, lace crop top which was from New Look in the Generation section, this was only £9.99 in the summer. I paired it with a pair of high waisted, wet look disco pants which I got from Primark for £7.00 which is a bargain. I wore my maroon converse with this to add a little bit of colour and wore a red lip for the same effect! 

What do you wear to house parties?

British Blogger Selection | Favourite Clothes Shop

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to be doing my second post for the British blogger selection. If you don't know what this is you can click here. 

The theme for this week is our favourite clothes shop! I love shopping for clothes but there is only one store that stands out.. guess what it is? yep, you guessed it! Primark! 

I absolutely adore shopping in Primark. Everything is so cheap and cheerful. Primark don't just do clothes they do other bits too, which I love because you can always go in there and find many different things which you wouldn't normally find if you just went to somewhere like Topshop, e.g. homeware items!

The price of all Primark items are so so cheap and affordable for everyone. They always keep up to date with the trends to make sure they're offering the best range of items. The quality of some items aren't always the best, but you get what you payed for and if you look after the item then it'll last you longer than you thought it would. 

The one thing I don't like about Primark is that they don't have a website where you can buy things off, arrghhhh! 

What's your favourite clothing store?

  

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
