Style Edit: LBD Take Two

Hello everyone! I thought I’d share another style edit with you today, this one will be a bit different to my usual outfit posts though, as I’m at University at the moment and it’s hard to fit in photo shoots, I thought I’d share some photos of an outfit I wore on a night out recently. Enjoy :)

What I’m Wearing

Dress – River Island

Lipstick – MAC

I was inspired by a blog post from SheWearsFashion (linked here) and had been on the lookout for a sheer, black maxi skirt and black knicker shorts for so long but I couldn’t find a sheer skirt without an underlay. Then I stumbled across a beautiful dress by River Island on the Asos website with a sheer overlay which was even better than what I was looking for initially. This bandeau midi dress is basically a figure-hugging body with a sheer, lace overlay (I won’t lie, there’s not much to this dress, it’s definitely a style statement, not something to wear for warmth and comfort). Another reason I love this dress so much is the bandeau shape, which I find really flattering because it shows the collarbone and décolletage. If you like this dress, grab it while you can, it’s now on sale at £48.50, down from £65 (I bought mine at full price, don’t you hate it when you buy something and then you see that it’s been reduced?!) For full impact, I would always recommend wearing with a postbox red lipstick, there is no more classic a combination than an LBD and a red lip! I’m wearing Mac’s Ruby Woo in the pictures; definitely my favourite matte red lipstick of all time, and definitely worth the price!

On a side note, the sunglasses pictured above are literally my favourite purchase of all time, hence why I was wearing them inside the house like a crazy person. I am so ready for summer now, mainly so I have an excuse to wear these glasses, I’ll definitely be featuring these in come style edits when the weather gets warmer. My friends all say I look like Willy Wonka but I think they’re AMAZING, so I’ll link them here if you like them too.

Let me know if you liked this post or if you prefer my photo-shoot style edits more.

Style Edit: The LBD

Hello everyone! I thought I'd show you my latest purchase from PrettyLittleThing, enjoy!

What I'm Wearing

Dress - PrettyLittleThing

Boots - H&M

Every girl needs a little black dress in her wardrobe and luckily there are some fabulous ones available on the high street this season. I'm actually going to Ibiza in a few weeks so naturally I needed to update my summer wardrobe and a LBD is essential for any night out. This one from PrettyLittleThing immediately caught my eye. It's a bit different to others that I've seen on the high street at the moment and I think the little shoulder pads and sheer mesh details make it look much more expensive than it actually is. I personally love the androgynous, vampy look and think this dress would look great paired with studded accessories and a leather jacket, with a dark, vampy lip but you could easily make this more feminine with a pink lip and fishtail braid. Be warned, this is one of those dresses that you'll need a strapless bra for and it's VERY tight so this isn't one to chuck on after you've eaten an entire large dominos pizza to yourself (don't lie, we all do it!) Leave me a comment and let me know where your favourite LBD is from.
