The toned down Skull...

I had a fancy dress party last weekend and I had no idea what to go as.
"Go as Sandy!" one friend suggested. "But I don't have a Danny" I whined. Apparently that didn't matter but to any Grease fan out there (me) It matters.. oh it so matters.

The inspiration hit me whilst watching The Walking Dead.
I remember being a skull for Halloween last year, however for a fancy dress party, looking like you've been underground for the past decade is slightly dark.

So I went with a toned down Skull make up. With glitter eyes and a slight black liner, this was a look that didn't send anyone running.

Flying High

Now I don’t know about you, but whenever I’m flying I have to ensure I look semi-decent, because I mean, who knows who you're going to bump into on a flight! 

So a few weeks ago I went on a trip that involved a long-haul flight. Wanting to look good on a long flight is not so easy compared to a short one. The factors I had to consider were comfort and warmth. Did I mention I tend to live in jeans as well? And jeans are very well known for being not so comfortable.

Well to all you jean lovers out there, here I am to change your life. That’s right because jeans are exactly what I wore for this bum-numbing journey.

Made from super stretchy material, I could bend my knees, do the splits, legs overhead, you name it, I did it. Definitely a favourite pair by far.

Below is the completed outfit featuring an Ivy Park Sweater and my favourite trainers EVER – Nike Air Max Thea’s.

With this outfit combo, I matched the casual look with comfort and felt great.

Statement Culottes

One particular item of clothing I am L O V I N G at the moment are culottes.

They are absolutely perfect for any occasion, be it for the office, for casual, paired with trainers or, for me, a night out.

They recently saved me from wardrobe distress prior to a night out last weekend – it was a last minute decision on heading out for a friend’s birthday. Normally I would need at least one week to get an outfit together, however I had brought a pair of burgundy culottes from Forever 21 and so upon hearing of this surprise trip to the city, lest did I panic, in fact I was thrilled I finally had an opportunity to wear them!

I went for a minimal look as the colour is fairly overpowering and so a simple black bodysuit and lace up block heels went perfectly.
