Sixties styling!

I absolutely adore the 1960s. I wish I could have experienced it! A lot of my favourite music is from the 1960s and I think the hair styles and make up looks were really fantastic. So, I thought I'd try and recreate a very 1960s look. I hope you enjoy!

 The dress is by Yumi, I got it in the House of Fraser sale for an amazing £14.00. I absolutely love the style and print of this dress. It is very typical of the 1960s so I really couldn't resist! I think it looks nice with these shoes I have from New Look, I got them about 3 years ago. They are black patent and have a lovely small heel! I'm not really sure what bag I would use, I suppose any sort of clutch bag would look great!

The hair and make up was my favourite part about this look! I used my trusty backcomb brush and a few bobby pins for the hair, it really only took about 5 minutes to do. For the eye make up, I didn't want to do the very severe cut crease that was fashionable in the 1960s. I have tried it and it just looks ridiculous on me. So I used my Kat Von D "Ludwig" eyeshadow palette and used the darkest shades from there. I never usually wear my eye make up this dark but I really like this and I am so pleased with how it turned out! My lipstick is an MUA one, I can't believe they only cost £1!!

My style icon from the 1960s is definitely Lulu. I love all the cute dresses she wore, and her hair is pretty fabulous too!

Do you like the 1960s style?

Outfit of the day - Casual wear!

Firstly, I just want to say that this is my first ever outfit of the day post. I thought I would introduce a little fashion to my blog, to add more of my personality and more content. I just seem to do review after review, but you don't really get to "know" me through that!  I do love clothes, so I'm thinking I shall begin with a few outfit of the day posts and see where we go from there!

Eiffel Tower top - Penny's 

Mint blouse - Forever 21

Jeans - Forever 21

Shoes - Vans

This is what I am wearing on my day off from work, just for kicking around the house and going to the shops! Nothing exciting! It is actually very mild weather today. I am excited for the Autumn but it seems the summer has just flown by! I'm going to miss wearing all my bright colours. This sort of outfit is basically what I have been wearing throughout summer. The Forever 21 blouse is one my favourites, I also have it in coral. Pennys are brilliant for inexpensive casual tops, I think this one was €6! I tend to pick up several of them whenever I can, you always need tops!! 

Forever 21 are my favourite for jeans. I had never shopped in Forever 21 until about this time last year. I now have 6 pairs of their jeans. They are just so comfortable and they fit me really well. I will have to invest in a few darker pairs for winter though! They are also really cheap which is a bonus!

This adorable kitten is not mine by the way, it's my nieces! 

I hope the inclusion of fashion posts will be of interest to my followers! I have a few nice ideas so I need to get working on them. Hope you have enjoyed, & have a great day!
