Red is one of my favourite colours at the moment, If you havent noticed, I often wear a red something to make an outfit "pop" a little! Mainly things like my red knotted rosary or my heart brooch I don't own very many red items of clothing, I picked up this red heart print skirt in H&M about a week ago and forgot about it. Upon digging it out of my closet, I decided to pair it with this sweet slouchy grey jumper, and voila perfect lazy day but looks like I made a bit of stylish effort outfit! I haven't really left the house so I didn't bother with tights or anything, I did pop my trusty brogues on to go to my dads though! The whole outfit screams Fearne Cotton to me! Shes one of my favourite British style icons!
What do you think of when you think of the brand Stargazer? Personally, I think of my former emo days when I'd use all those bright hair dyes and crazy colored eyeshadow. Id not really given the whole brand a good look until I was asked to sort the makeup stand out on my first day at New Look. I noticed that among the brights and uber florescents, there was this beautiful pastel nudey pink, they also have a lovely mint green, a really nice purpley lilac and also a really cool looking pale brown. Much to my surprise it went on really nicely, it took three coats to get it super opaque and then a put a topcoat just incase it chipped, It dried really quickly too! They cost £2.50 at New Look, which is on the same price range as my beloved Barry M. I noticed on their website they are selling them for around £2, and they have a massive range of nail colours (More than Barry M!) I'm really liking the nude nails, I thought I wasn't going to be feeling it. But yeap, defiantly something I'm liking right now!
Its thundering and lightening right now, Days with too much rain seem to bring me down and totally demotivate me! I haven't got many of my chores done today. I've spent too long playing with my camera and trying to sort out my new blackberry as I finally got a replacement for the one I lost! My plan is to get one of those blinged up cases, I'm going to Telford tomorrow with my mother and they usually have someone selling them! Exciting!
PS. Any thoughts on the new cameras quality? Lighting isn't 100% because of how dreary it is out today, But by god they overall image quality is top notch! The picture size is different from my old camera too so the portrait images are a tad longer and the landscapes are thinner and wider. Still works though!
The skirt is Absolutely Adorable! And loved to see your shoes:) Plus your nail polish rocks! The quality of your new camera is Great!
ReplyDeleteAdorable as always Lily =)

ReplyDeleteThink I Need To Check Out Stargazer Polishes..In Love With That Colour..Mite Have To Ditch The Beloved Barry M Too!! x
ReplyDeleteI love your skirt but unfortunately there's no H&M where i live nor do they deliver to my country! :(
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit! I love the cute skirt with the hearts!!!!
ReplyDeletelove it. and as you can see on my blog i also tried the ombred hair, after your tutorial! Thanks alot for that.
ReplyDeleteI also remember the emo-esque days of florescent nail polishes.. I also often added a mini kilt and punky fish top to my avril lavigne look... oh the shame!
ReplyDeleteVery cute outfit, I love little girl dressing. Love, love, LOVE the brogues. I really want to invest in a patent pair for these rainy days... do you have any recommendations as to where I can find a decent, but not bank-breakingly expensive pair? X

I love that red knotted rosary that you add to your outfits. Your outfit's really cute today. I love that necklace and your bracelets. Well the skirt and jumper too ha.
ReplyDeleteThat nail colour is really nice, I have a red and purple one I bought from Newlook and really like them. I might get a light colour the next time I go.
I love thunder and lightening not rain though. I'm totally the same I basically sit in and moan when it rains cause I have no motivation.
I'm sure I have the same camera as you now, I have so much more to learn though. Once I finish college I'm planning on going to college to study photography, I can't wait.
Xx

comment back!!
i really love that skirt.
ReplyDeleteit's a lovely shade.
Love the skirt, completely. And it's such a cute combination with the grey top.
ReplyDeleteHaha love what you said about the stargazer brand, yeah it totally takes me back to my emo days as well. The neon pink and the black. Funny how things change right.

stargazer completely reminds me of my emo days too! buying their black eye shadow and black nail varnish from quiggins in liverpool. ahhh... that nudey pink colour is gorgeous though.
ReplyDeletePerfect shoes!
ReplyDeleteWhere is the skirt from? It says H&M but on your lookbook you wrote Topshop :S
ReplyDeleteso brilliant! did you get your skirt in h&m or topshop though? i NEED it! xxx
ReplyDeleteThat nail varnish is amazing! I need that in my life asap. x
ReplyDeleteI've never used the nail varnish, but I used to use a bright pink eyeshadow from Stargazer when I went "cybergoth" clubbing, it was really pigmented and glowed under UV (though it didn't appear to be advertised as doing such).
ReplyDeleteprecious. love everything about this look. be my personal shopper, pretty please?? ;)
ReplyDeletexxo britneyyyy

Oh i must get my hands on that nail polish! xo
ReplyDeleteOh Lily, I really love this outfit! It definitely shouts Fearne C to me, I am an absolute coveter (word?!) of her outfits, I wish I had her budget sometimes. I do love the simplicity of a peppered grey long sleeve - & I'm loving the nude nails! I haven't used Stargazer stuff since I was a moody emo kid & forever used their bright pink eyeshadow & their henna pink hairdye. Yes, I was typical!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit, so cute :)
ReplyDeleteI have a skirt just like that (but the hearts are white instead of black) and I'd love to try out this look, which color of sweater do you think would look good with white hearts?
ooh la la your nails look great!
ReplyDeletereally love the nail polish and as for picture quality.....you've got me truly looking for a new camera
