#OOTD 8.7.13

I cannot believe how long its been since I posted a blog!

I've been constantly ill and working for the last 6 weeks or so, drained isn't even the word!

Yesterday was the only day I have off work for the week, so I thought I'd make the most of it and the gorgeous sun!


Here I'm wearing a classic black camisole from Topshop, a gold belt from Zara, a a black maxi skirt from primark. 

I also wore a orange bandeau under my cami to ... protect myself lol.

Being 5'1 is so difficult, I can never find maxi items at the right length for me, even petite ones come up super long sometimes. I had to pull the skirt up quite high, I thought the belt would be a great way to sort of mask just how high it is ... I mean it's practically touching my chin!
I also wore the camisole instead of a vest top as it was much more flowy and comfortable.



Hair and face wise, I kept my hair simple and out of my face, with a french twist on one side and the other side pinned back. Definately my go to hairstyle. On my ears I'm wearing gold 'leaf' shape studs. 
I used my Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish Mineral Powder with SPF 20, to both protect my skin and give me a flawless finish. 
On my lips I am wearing my YSL lipstick in the colour #31, Rose Fusain. I adore this deep velvety purple/pink lipstick, and the formula ... Fantastic. Nice and creamy, not drying and stayed on ALL day!
To add a sort of 'Chic' look to my outfit, I wore my floppy straw sun hat from Zara. I got this for my holiday in Turkey 3 months ago, it cost £20. Not sure if the still have it in stock.


I Added my bright orange bag from Zara (which actually broke that day -_-) to give my outfit a pop of colour. On my feet I wore brown rope tied sandals from Dune.

Hope you're all enjoying the gorgeous weather were having in the UK!
