man repeller

socks: primark

nails: models own utopia* & models own ibiza mix*

This is what I wore a few days ago to go to the Alexandra Burke x MUA Lip Boom product launch party. I love this cut out shoulder top from Topshop, I wanted it for ages but tried to keep off buying it till I had some money! Thankfully it was still lurking online in my size so I snapped it up ASAP. For some reason I didn't see the "party" bit on the invite and decided to wear flats. I also had the bright idea that the man repeller combo of socks and shoes on this day, anyway it was highly inappropriate and I looked tiny standing next to the über tall Zoe and out of place in a Fancy club! Oh well, the cocktails were lovely (there was a coffee liqueur, vodka and cola one that tasted like baileys without the creaminess!), some very odd canapés (ribs?) and was pretty cool to rub shoulders with celebrities!

You can sort of see my eyelash extensions in the photo of me looking down. They are amazing and Im so happy with them, I will write a proper post about them soon! I just wanted to give them a few days before starting to write my initial thoughts on them. However so far so good, it's such a relief not having to wear mascara as it always irritates my eyes!

  2. No way are you a man repelling woman! I love the socks with shoes and the cut out detail on the tops great. Im looking for one exactly like that to go with my striped leggings but i cant afford so much as that!
