What I wore in London

Hi Guys, Hope you're all good! So I thought I'd do another little 'what I wore' post after my 'What I wore in Berlin' post got such a good response! I'm also working on a full post on my trip to London, about where I stayed, what I done and things I would recommend! 

Juuust a lil side note, I hope you all don't get me wrong with posts like this and are thinking I think I'm great and have the best style ever, because I don't! I just personally love reading posts like these and getting inspiration of how I could style things differently or how I could style something I already own!

Now, onto the outfits...

So the first day of London was the first time I got to wear my new belt (yes, I did actually wait to wear it), I paired my Gucci belt with an oversized shirt and a bralet both from h&m. My jeans are from Zara and the black ankle boots are from Bershka! For accessories I just wore my Michael Kors watch and an infinity necklace from Parfois. Most importantly my Bbold spray tan was done by the fab Sabrina (@colourmebeautifulta on instagram) for only €10! It lasted so well and wore off so nicely.

                                  

Out that same day, I wore the most amaazing trousers from Pretty little thing, they're so comfy and I got so many nice compliments on them! They are also available in black and white! (Buy Here).        I wore them with a black lace bralet from primark and heels from newlook that literally cost only €13.

On the second day I wanted to be comfy for sightseeing and walking around alot (20,000 steps to be exact, poor shane was dragged around on his birthday). I wore a mesh top with a bralet underneath, both old stock from Penneys/Primark, with that I wore my topshop jeans with my gucci belt (which I was scared not to wear) and black converse!

I stupidly packed a jumper to wear on the hottest day we were there! We flew home this day but our flight wasn't until 8 so we spend the day exploring some more (I'll discuss all this in the London post). I wore my black boots from Bershka again with a skirt and jumper both from Penneys/Primark, you really wouldn't know I worked there would you?

Thanks so much for reading I hope you enjoyed this post, the full London post is well on its way!

Lots of Love,

Festival Inspiration

Hey guys! I hope you're all having a fab week, I'm currently enjoying a day off work packing for London on Saturday (expect a looot of outfit pics on my instagram- @charleenmurphy) So with festival season fast approaching I thought that it would be very fitting to share with you all some festival inspo bits that I have found online! so without further ado here are some of my faves:

So extra, I know,  but this is such a statement dress that could be worn really girly but would still look fab with a pair of docs.

Buy Here

Probably my favourite from this list, I can definitely see myself wearing this with red underneath.

 Buy Here

This red top could even be worn with a little crop top underneath if you're not comfortable wearing a bralet!

Buy Here

These shorts look super comfy and could definitely be worn anytime the sun shines and not just for a festival.

Buy Here

Again this is something that could be worn with so many different styles (and lots and lots of glitter).

Buy Here

I looove this tie dye playsuit, fab layered with lots of necklaces and a choker.

Buy Here

I think this would be amazing with doc martens and french plaits, also another really comfy option.

Buy Here

I love exactly how this bralet is styled! so fab with shorts or flowy trousers also

Buy Here

A mini backpack is essential for a festival to keep all of your bits in, I love this one!

Buy Here

If you're all about comfort this playsuit is perfect and would be styled so nicely with a big hat, a chunky belt and black boots.

OBSESSED with this sequinned playsuit.

Thank you for reading, I hope I've given you even a liiiittle bit of inspiration for you're festival attire!

Have a great week,

Lots of love,

My top five products for glowy makeup

Hi guys, long time no speak! With summer having arrived and dreaming of a tan I've been loving wearing more of a glowy makeup look that isn't as full coverage and is more 'skin like', it also gives me an excuse to drown myself in highlighter which is always a good time.

I know, I'm kind of contradicting myself on the whole 'not full coverage' with this first recommendation but hear me out. You need this foundation. It's pretty full coverage with very little product but it's also possible to use it for a lighter more glowy look. At only €13.40 on beauty bay its such a bargain just like the concealers.So buy now, thank me later. Purchase here.

I recently started using a cream highlighter (which I never saw a purpose for) over my foundation, I then set it with a powder then put highlighter over it, using it as a base to make my highlighter pop even more, which I love. The one I use is 'Ecliptic' from the sleek 'solstice' palette, which by the way is amazing and a must have, which is why it is very often sold out. Available here.

This is my all time favourite highligher, if you're big into highlighters I'm sure you'll have heard of 'Champagne Pop' by Becca. It gives the nicest glow and a wet look to the skin that I never get tired of seeing. Available here.

This NYX setting spray gives such a gorgeous dewy finish by soaking up all the excess powder on your skin, it also makes you're makeup last absolutely ages! Win-win. Available here.

This Good to glow moisturiser from Penneys/Primark is the perfect base for your makeup for a glowy face, it gives my skin a pearlescent glow and moisturises it so well. It smells divine and also gives a nice glow to the skin when wearing no makeup!

Thanks for reading! I hope you all have a great Friday, let me know if you try any of these products for yourself!

Lots of love,
