Sorry this post is so late, I've been working long hours this week! On Saturday it was my friend's 21st birthday party so I needed something new to wear. I've always loved all the dresses on the Motel website so that's the first place I looked and fell in love with this off the shoulder skater dress as soon as I saw it. Also, if you sign up to receive the Motel newsletter, you get £10 off your purchase. The only annoying thing was that you had to spend £39 to get it and my dress was £38!! The cheapest thing on the website was a very ugly £3 pair of fishnet socks (yes, fishnet) and since I wanted the dress so much I ended up getting them too (they are now in the bin). The dress was as gorgeous on as it was on the website! I also added my sister's gold belt at the waist to finish it off.

For my makeup I really wanted to wear my new favourite MAC lipstick, Diva. Since I went for a dark, statement lip I toned down my usual black smoky eye and went for a more neutral look. I also added some gorgeous lashes that GWA kindly send me to try, I love them!! 

I hope everyone had a good weekend...even though it's almost the weekend again!

Yesterday I blogged about the Hilton event that I attended and thought I'd share with you what I wore to it and what makeup I used. I wanted to show you guys a bit of a different makeup look and since I usually go for either a smoky eye or statement lip, I went for natural eyes and a nude lip (there was a lot of eating and drinking so this was appropriate). 

MAC Angel has been my go-to nude lip for about 5 years now, nothing will replace it and I used a Bobbi Brown palette on my eyes (which had been hidden away in my makeup drawer for months). I kept my skin quite natural and instead of using a blush I used MAC Mineralized Skin Finish in Dark on my cheeks for a sun-kissed glow.

It took me ages to decided what to wear and while I was looking through my wardrobe I came across a black midi dress I'd bought way before Christmas and had totally forgotten about. I wasn't sure I would suit it as I'm quite short and my legs aren't exactly the skinniest, but I went for it anyway and ended up really liking it. To make it a bit more casual I added a cross necklace, some ankle boots, my studded shoulder cardigan and my favourite tartan scarf. I think I'll need to wear this on a night out soon and dress it up with some heels and big hair.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
