Wedding | Guest Outfit Ideas

Have you got to that point in your life that each year, you're invited to more & more weddings? Having to decide what to wear for one wedding is hard enough, never mind more!

There are so many things you need to think about! 

What colour? What style? What length? Do you want to fit in with the theme of the wedding? Will the bride mind if you wear a creamy/beige colour? 

The list of questions is endless!! 

Guest Blog | Wedding Beauty Game

How do you ensure your beauty game is on point for the biggest day of your life?

What formulations will photograph well and last the distance at your wedding?

Doing your own make-up for such a massive occasion can seem nerve-wracking, but it could be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make. After all, who knows your preferences, what suits you, and your plans better than yourself? With the right tools, good products, and a little know-how you can create the look of your dreams to complement that dress, I promise.

Who am I? I’m Sarah, a writer, make-up addict and connoisseur of all pretty things over at www.seriouslyshallow.co.uk. I had my ‘happy ever after’ three years ago when I married my husband Sebastian – and I learned a thing or two about wedding beauty along the way.

As a big fan of Charlie’s beautifully written blog, I’m delighted to be doing this post to share what I learned.

Review | NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer

The Queen of all concealers. That's all.

Spring Wish List | Clothes

Spring comes around & I seem to develop a printed, pastel colour theme. I love spring & being able to wear those slightly prettier/girly clothes. I need to get my hands on ALL of these!

Menu A or Menu B?

A few weekends ago, Stephen & I went for a food tasting at the wedding venue.
I was really looking forwards to this but I was worried I might be disappointed with the standard of food. It's always hard having to choose your venue before you know what the food is like. Unless you're having your wedding at a hotel in which case you could always have a meal there beforehand.
I loved the structure of our food tasting. We were sat with other couples who would be getting married around the same time of year as us which meant we could have a good natter about all things wedding.

Spring Wish List | Shoes

Spring is on it's way & so are beautiful shoes!

I've already got a long list of things I desperately want & it seems to be getting bigger & bigger. Not good when you're trying to save for a house & a wedding at the same time.

February Favourites

Well well well, here we are again. Finally it looks as though Spring is on it's way & I can't wait.
Bring on bright colours, warmer weather & outside living.
1. Benefit Neutrals Eyeshadow Kit

Review | Soap & Glory Archery DIY Brow Bar

As you may or may not know, I am slightly obsessed with eyebrows. I love discovering new products to use & am a little OCD with my own.
I came across this Soap & Glory 'DIY Brow Bar' whilst searching the shelves & something about it drew me in. I'm not normally a fan of the 'eyebrow kits' as I like to mix & match products as well as colours but thought I'd give it a whirl!

LFW Wish List

I'm not usually one to follow the trends via London Fashion Week but this year, there was so much going on it was hard to miss.
Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely not "cool" enough nor do I have the cash to buy these items so I've found some high street alternatives to fall in love with.

Eyebrows, Eyebrows, Eyebrows

For as long as I can remember, I've tried to enhance my eyebrows. It probably started in my early teens where I'd put a bit of eyeshadow clumsily onto my eyebrows because they were invisible.
It's now turned into a daily routine that has expanded to having different products & tools. 

Countryside Living | Part 2

A few weekends ago, the sun was shining & wanting to make the most of it, my mum & I went for a walk in the beautiful countryside.
I hadn't planned on blogging about this but there were such amazing views that I wanted to share the delights with you!

OOTD | Weekend Casual

I've come to realise that I'm definitely a comfort & casual girl. I love to be warm, cosy & feel comfortable at all times! There's nothing worse than wearing an item of clothing that's really frustrating & keeps moving or sits in the wrong place.

At the minute, I've been loving winter greys with a pop of colour!

January Favourites

Oh em gee! How is it already the second month in 2015? This year is going to fly!
Anyway, here are my January favourites!

1. Philosophy Shower Gel 

Travel | A Norwegian Adventure

I moved to Aalesund, Norway with very little knowledge of Norwegian culture and therefore didn’t know what to expect when I woke up the next day (I arrived at my apartment at midnight!). The things I had heard about Norway were that it is; always dark, very expensive, very cold, extremely patriotic and everyone is born with skis attached to their feet. 

OOTD | Day To Night

I'm always a fan of those staple clothing items that you can wear in the day & vamp up for the evening when you haven't got time to find another outfit!
Day

Gifts For Her | Valentines Day

Like the 'Gifts For Him' post that you can find here, finding a Valentines present for a girl is just as hard & sometimes even harder. 
Here are some easy go to presents that any girl is bound to love!

Brushes Galore

I've found that makeup brushes can be the key to great looking makeup. Find some you love & you're onto a winner! Even though I have 2 pots full of them, I always use the same brushes without even realising.

Gifts For Him | Valentines Day

Is it just me or does finding that perfect gift for Valentines Day fill you with dread?

I've never really been a fan of Valentines Day & even now I'm engaged, I still don't particularly look forward to it! 

Here are some ideas to help you find that perfect gift!

Lipstick Collection

My lipstick collection is starting to grow & with it my love for lipsticks. It's been a slow grower but I'm becoming more & more obsessed with lippy!
Here's my lipstick collection

Review | Bobbi Brown Tinted Eye Brightener

I've never been much of a fan of these tinted eye brighteners. I always find that they don't give me the coverage that I want & claim to be better than they are.
My sister bought this product a while back & I didn't really think much of it. She said I should give it a try, I did & was instantly hooked. I was so surprised how much it brightened my eyes & it also gave me a better coverage than other products I'd previously used.
