#38 London - Day to Night

Good Evening, I am back! 

Recently my life has been taken over by assignments so I couldn't flippin' wait to relax last weekend. It was my friend's birthday in March, so we ventured to London for belated celebrations.

We began in Harrods (which as her special treat) where we devoured a chocolate fountain and drank champagne (how glamorous), this was followed by going to see Mamma Mia, then dinner and then a club. There was a lot going on and with no option to go home to get changed, I needed an outfit that I could wear day to night without looking too over/underdressed.


 I opted for this Missguided jumpsuit (the belt came with it and the bottoms have been taken up - I'm short OK), Primark clutch and shoes and Marks and Spencer leather jacket. 

I basically live in black, so there is no surprise that this outfit is layered with it. I did look for a brighter clutch, preferably red, but I didn't find any that took my fancy. Instead I opted for a bold lip and red toenails to add a pop of colour to the outfit. 

Makeup-wise, I went for a look that was easy to maintain as I didn't want to be dipping into my makeup bag more than I needed to. I opted for a winged liner of the eyes, a bold lip, a peach blush and a medium-high coverage foundation which didn't need much topping up. 



 These rings were also a Primark find. I really like how you can face them either way so that they are a block gold, or look as if they are two thinner rings.

 I chose to use this Primark clutch as it's so spacious and has a zip so I was very unlikely to lose anything - which isn't hard for me. 

Finally, the shoes (also from Primark - I didn't even realise how much Primark I was wearing). 
Ideally I wanted to stiletto style of this shoe but my feet couldn't hack 30 seconds of hobbling around the store, let alone hours walking around London, so they were a no no. Originally I wasn't too keen on the lower heel but I've grown to love them. They are SO comfy to walk it. Literally, I can't explain. Last weekend was the first time I wore them so I was a little worried that I would be crying and buying new shoes after 5 minutes but no, I could have gone on and on. At around £12 you can't go wrong, so well done Primark. 


 Ideally I would have worn this hat (River Island) with this outfit, but again I didn't want to have to worry about it all day and night so wore my hair up instead. However, if I was a little closer to home or it wasn't an all day thing I would be more likely to opt for it as I think I prefer it? 



 And that's it, I hope you've enjoyed this sneak peak into my wardrobe. 

There will be more style posts coming your way soon, so watch this space! 

For now I will love you and leave you, have a great weekend.
