Since we've had a bit of a depressing grey week, I decided on Thursday (my day off) that I would add some colour to my day and dress up a bit to head into town rather than my usual chucking on of the old jeans! I've decided I will try and do this every Thursday (avoid the boring old jeans & vest/jumper combo) and actually wear some of my favourite clothes which I love to buy and yet don't wear often enough due to having a uniform for work.
So, today I was going into town for a bit of pampering as I have 3 of my block booked facials at Clarins left (now 2). I also needed to source some make-up for the upcoming wedding which I can't believe is already NEXT weekend!! I had been looking into getting my make-up done at a MAC counter but sadly have left it too late to organise and despite their best efforts, they can't fit me in. I did a bit of research to try to find someone to do my make-up, but what with it being in London it was just too pricey. (Although after seeing what I've ended up spending today it pales in comparison!! But I just keep reminding myself that this beautiful make-up is now mine to keep and with practice I can hopefully achieve (almost) as good results!) I will post about the items I bought and the tips I received soon but here is what I wore today...
I finished my look with a turquoise eye-liner and gold eye-shadow and turquoise metallic nail polish...
Linen Jacket from H&M (ancient)
Turquoise Scarf from M&S (old)
I absolutely love the combination of coral and turquoise. I was really pleased with the whole outfit and received LOADS of compliments, especially on my accessories, from the girls at the make-up counters and in Clarins. The girl at Illamasqua (who had amazing turquoise hair!) said she loved all my colours and even described me as a bird of paradise!?
It was Nik's birthday today but he was working so we had a mini celebration Yo! Sushi dinner (his choice) as we are away to Edinburgh tomorrow night for the proper wining and dining celebrations! :)
