Hello everyone, I hope you're all having a lovely week! You may have read in my last post that last weekend me and my boyfriend took a trip up to the London O2 arena to see Ellie Goulding in concert! This was my very first trip to a proper concert because I've never really been a "music person" and tend to stick to my favourite artists, with Ellie being one of them. Knowing that she always puts on an amazing performance at her shows, I had to pick up a couple of tickets as soon as they went for sale! Today I thought I would share with you all what I wore this weekend plus I've included a few pictures from the night itself!

A couple days before the event, I picked up this beautiful monochrome dress in the New Look sale for just £10. I loved how perfectly it fitted and I always find the floaty, skater style dresses look flattering on my body shape. I also thought the print on the top half was very pretty and it's the sort of dress that can be easily dressed up or down depending on what accessories you pair with it. I decided to go for a gold statement necklace, some thick black tights and my trusty New Look boots! As we've been experiencing some sort of heatwave in England recently, this outfit wasn't all that comfortable during the day but once we actually got to the arena, it became much cooler. Paired with my leather jacket this is a great little outfit to wear during the miss-match weather of March!

As for the night itself, we made sure we got to the O2 early so that my boyfriend could eat at one of his all time favourite restaurants, TGI Friday's! I went for the Jack Daniels chicken, chips and vegetables and it's safe to say we were both stuffed afterwards! Once we'd eaten we headed to the queue and filed ourselves into the arena and headed to our seats. I was so surprised at how good our seats actually were! We were on the front row of the seating area directly in front of the stage - this is great for short people like me as there was no annoying tall person standing in front haha! After a supporting act and a lot of waiting patiently, Ellie finally made it on to the stage and delivered an amazing performance! I enjoyed every minute of it (except when the people behind spilt a bit of wine on us!) and would definitely recommend everyone to go and see her in concert - she is just absolutely brilliant!

I hope you enjoyed today's more lifestyle sort of post! I would love to hear your thoughts on my outfit and do tell me what fashion trends you've been loving recently. Thank you for reading and I'll speak to you all very soon!

What are your thoughts on my outfit?

Hello lovelies and happy Friday to you all - I hope that you're all looking forward to your weekend! I'm definitely looking forward to mine because I'm finally going to see the amazing Ellie Goulding at the O2 in London on Sunday - eeek, I'm so excited! I absolutely love Ellie and this will be the first time seeing her performing live and I really can't wait. I've never actually been to a proper concert like this in an arena (shocking isn't it?) so I'm also pretty nervous as I don't really cope well in large crowds, especially in an enclosed space! Luckily we're not getting the train up there as I've seen the ridiculous queues/ crowds lining up for the station after the shows - it's mental and definitely not a situation I would enjoy...

For today's post I thought I would do a little Spring time makeup look focusing around one of my favourites lipstick shades (and colours in general) Topshop's Infrared. I love wearing a good bright orange lipstick in the Spring and Summer time, so now that the sun has finally got its hat back on, I'm fully embracing this sunny weather by wearing this lipstick on a daily basis. I guess you could call this my "everyday Spring makeup look" too as I have been wearing these products a lot recently since it's been all Summery outside!

Topshop's Infrared lipstick has a velvet finish which means it's mainly matte but with a slightly shiny effect. As it is a little matte it is important that you apply a lip balm before hand otherwise it will cling to any drier areas on your lips - not good! The colour pay off is amazing and looks so pretty on the lips. This isn't a lipstick for the faint hearted though as it is pretty bright and definitely takes a bit of getting used to. I however adore this lipstick and it's definitely on of my favourites for this time of year.

To match my lipstick I also applied Benefit's Coralista blusher to my cheeks as I think it ties the orange tones together really well. I love the slight sheen this blusher gives my skin and it makes it look dewy and healthy! I also applied a small amount of Benefit's Hoola bronzer to the contours of my cheeks and finished the look with a dusting of highlighter from the Sleek Face Form palette. These products together give a beautifully natural finish that I love wearing on a daily basis.

Finally for my eyes, I keep going back to one of my "safe" eye looks which is a shimmery golden shadow with a flick of liquid liner. As this is a pretty simple eye look, it does partner well with the bright orange lipstick. For the eye look I use Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze as a base and then apply Kitten and Bubbly from the Stila In The Light palette. The eye liner I've been using is Soap & Glory's Supercat Liner and is perfect for creating a slight winged effect. Together, they create such a simple look but it's one that never fails to look pretty for the day time.

So this is my Spring time makeup look that's perfect for everyday! My foundation base rarely changes and has been one I've used for a long time, but if you want to read more then do check out this post about my base makeup. I hope you enjoyed this post and hopefully you have found some new products to add to your Spring time makeup routine!
