Valentines outfit.
Hello everyone, I thought I wasn't going to be able to post for quite awhile as I accidentally spilt some hot chocolate on my laptop. The screen went white, I started bawling my eyes out and a long phone call was made to my dad (who works in IT) that mainly consisted of him trying to calm me down. A few days later and she is working like always, I just had to let it dry for a few days with the battery out and now it's like nothing ever happened (although there are sticky keys...). Anyway, I have another outfit post for you today in the form of my outfit for a lovely Valentine's evening spent with my boyfriend. All items are a few months old unfortunately but they are so basic that you will most likely be able to pick up similar elsewhere. The playsuit is Topshop and the shoes are Primark.
My makeup look for the evening consisted of Rimmel Foundation, The colour Experts Naked palette eyeshadow and lipstick by MUA in shade 3. I would write a lengthy paragraph about it here, but I'll put up a haul post in the coming days for you as I've gone a little beauty made recently. If you are wondering how I spent my evening, my boyfriend cooked me dinner and we went out for cocktails. It was actually really lovely to spend the evening with just him and we didn't get wasted or anything we just enjoyed each other's company and had a laugh.
I hope you all had a lovely day taken or single. Why not comment below and let me know what you got up to?
New Look Winter Coat
Not only did I go out for cake and tea on Sunday, it was also the day I got to try out my new coat from New Look. I purchased it in the sale for just £20 and it is super cosy and warm! I really wanted a new black coat as my other one is quite old now, the lining is all ripped on the inside and most of the buttons are missing. This new coat is done up with just a zip so I've no worries of missing buttons and it fits so beautifully with enough room to allow me to wear a jumper underneath. I styled it with a jumper I bought in Topshop last year, black skinnies, a primark bag and a pair of leopard Vans. I absolutely love Vans off the wall plimsolls, they are so comfortable and you can get them in numerous styles which means that you can get a pair to compliment any outfit! I did have the original black Vans but they met their untimely end when I decided to wear them to a fair, not realising it was going to be extremely muddy! Needless to say they did not survive. I'm much more careful with these ones and they make for perfect footwear for a countryside stroll!
Our walk took us up near Old Sarum Castle in Salisbury, Wiltshire. We were a bit late to go and see the castle ruins but we could walk around the grounds and get a beautiful view of the city from the hill as well as the sunset. I'm not a fan of cold weather, nor winter at all really, but with a view as pretty as this and such good weather, it felt good to be outside.

Sunday Sunshine.
Just a quick post of my outfit from yesterday! I went shopping with my mum in Newbury, we went to the local 'Outfit' store there which is owned by Arcadia and basically has a selection of each of their brands. I ended up purchasing my outfit for my work christmas party after seeing a matching top and skirt on a mannequin. I really liked it and so tried it on and it looked great, props to Miss Selfridge for their excellent visual merchandising! Anyway, I did manage to get a good bit of christmas shopping out of the way as well and so I am now well on my way to getting it finished. Thank. God. I'm not the biggest fan of christmas shopping as there is always so many things I want for myself but I have to hold back. I'm sure everyone struggles with the whole 'one for them, one for me' situation and like I said in previous posts - it never hurts to treat yourself a little!
