Do I Dare?.. Underwear as Outerwear & Costa Chic

Afternoon my little cherubs & I hope you're all fandabidozi :)

As most of you will be aware, those who are from the UK in any case, we've just had our last Bank Holiday weekend of the year.. Rather depressing if you're like me and you associate them with Summer, drinks at the Sea Front and super fun nights out consisting of cocktails, live music & the bestest of friends!

I did indeed indulge this weekend, as like I say, it's the last of the year & you only live once right!? 

Myself and my friends, the party animals that we are decided to start early (3pm...) at our local for some scrummy food and luscious icey cold beverages! 

I thought I'd give you a quick glimpse at what I decided to wear...


I decided to 'rock' the Underwear as Outerwear trend and this little leopard print with lace trim camisole style top seemed to fit the bill perfectly.. I picked this up in TK Maxx a while back for just £12.99 - The top half is actually a bra also, but it's slightly big for me so I opted to wear my regular bra underneath too!

The maxi skirt was just a simple alternative to wearing leggings or skinny jeans and was bought from River Island in the sale for around £10..

I wore my black wedges (..Previous outfit post) and teamed the whole outfit with my LV Speedy & black leather jacket for a rougher edge :)


Makeup Wise..

I wanted my makeup to take me from afternoon right through into the night..

Earlier that day I indulged in a cheeky MAC visit and picked up Satin Taupe e/s and Costa Chic lipstick & just couldn't wait to try them out after swatching at the counter..

I used both Satin Taupe and the Champagne shimmer from my Sleek palette to create this shadow look and stuck on some Sarah lashes once again to add a touch of glam! - I have to say I am LOVING Costa Chic, I got so many compliments and people asking me what lipstick it was as soon as I walked into the pub.. Such a perfect corally pink colour!

Hope you like the look & you all had a fab weekend whatever you ended up doing! 

Muchos Loveee xx
