OOTD & FOTD | Summer Ball

One thing you guys won't know about me is I never went to my prom in Year 11. Why you may be thinking? Well because I thought I was too cool for prom at the time... Regrets, many regrets. But I had a Summer Ball to attend after finishing my first year of University, so I of course took the opportunity to dress up! I honestly don't think I've ever put this much thought into an outfit before, so I thought I would share the outcome, considering I've not done an OOTD before either...

Tights - Primark £3
Necklace - New Look £5.99
Heels - H&M £15
Bag - H&M £7.99
Earrings - H&M £5.99
Eyelashes - Eylure 107
Eyebrows - Anastasia Hills Dip Brow Pomade in Medium Brown
Eyeshadow - Naked 3
Tan - St Tropez Mousse Upper, Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Lower

My favourite thing about my outfit has to be the lower half of my dress. The dress its self was quite bodycon-ish, then there was a sheer overlay that was flowing in the wind, which was perfect as the main bit of the Summer Ball was outside!

I'll be honest, I probably won't do another OOTD, well not for a while anyway. But I'm no model as I squinted in all the photos that were taken of me and I feel well to embarrassed to pose in seriousness! I hope that you guys liked the post regardless :)

Style Icon: Blake Lively


I thought I would write a little post about my favorite actress... That is of course Blake Lively (Or Serena van der Woodsen, xoxo Gossip Girl) she is a gorgeous blonde bombshell with a killer smile, how couldn't she be my style icon?

Firstly, she has been my hair idol for years (yes years!) and she always will be. Has she ever had a bad hair day? I think not. Her blonde locks are absolutely stunning and if I could ever get mine to look as gorgeous as hers my life would be complete. 


Secondly I don't think I've ever seen her sporting any shoes other than heels? I respect a lady that can do that because those things hurt! I really wish I had heel resistant feet... however with those Louboutins who would complain?


She can also pull off both simple and bold looks yet still looks impeccable either way. Like with this Zuhair Murad dress, there's so much going on with the dress however this doesn't draw attention away from the dazzling smile she is flaunting...


Plus both her and Ryan Reynolds are one of the most stylish celebrity couples around. Imagine the children... (soon we won't have to!!)


And the last (but not least) reason of all is that even now she is pregnant she still looks absolutely gorgeous!!! She is rocking that Gucci dress well and is literally glowing. If I could be even half as flawless when or if I fall pregnant I would be over the moon!


So I think I may have a bit of a woman crush on Blake but oh well (who can blame me!?) who is your style icon? Is yours the same as mine?

Guess where me and Abi (Meet me in Mayfair) were on Thursday night? We were in Battersea Park, London for Cosmopolitans Fashfest! It was the 4th day meaning it was the Catwalk show - where they were showcasing many looks that are currently hot on the high street from shops such as ASOS, New Look, River Island, boohoo.com and many, many more! It was definitely was a fun filled night - here are my photos from the event!

The venue was gorgeous, literally located in the middle of Battersea Park - which made it very difficult to find! Luckily we found 2 other girls who were also lost and together we found our way! P.s. notice Fran from Made in Chelsea's photobomb in the bottom left?

Pre-Catwalk

Before the Catwalk show we walked into a hall that was full of stalls from so many companies such as Urban Decay, Barry M, Fudge Urban and so on all offering free treatments such as manicures, hair styling, eyebrow threading and even spray tans! There were so many stalls to choose from and too little time! We spotted Louise from Made in Chelsea before we got to exploring the stalls properly. (I really weren't too hot on this photo so I drew over the annoying bit of hair)


One of the stalls was held by a company called American Dream Hair Extensions and I was extremely lucky as I was one of the very few people that got a full head of complimentary clip-in hair extensions put in and styled (which I also got to keep, woo!) I was literally over the moon with this as I was planning on buying a new pair anyway!

Catwalk Show

When the stalls and bars were closing we went and found the table we had been placed on and just look how close we were to the front, we were SO lucky - the venue was massive, pretty sure there were over 100 tables and ours was this close!!!


The Catwalk show was hosted by the gorgeous Laura Whitmore who was wearing a stunning black shimmery dress with a white peter pan collar.


I've put together a video above of all the clips I got on my camera from the show and put them into a video so you can get a taste of what the show was like! Enjoy!
