Noir Lace Up ¦ Boutique of Molly

Noir Lace Up ¦ Boutique of Molly

Comment   

Online boutiques are my weakness. I cannot get enough of their incredibly designed, celebrity-style clothing for just a small percentage of the original product's price. Recently, through the blogging industry, I have discovered Boutique of Molly; an amazing online fashion heaven that sells everything from luxurious to casual wear. Rather swiftly, I became a huge fan of their 'Alexa Lace Up Playsuit' - a comfort-fit, back lace up playsuit that I appeared to be lacking in my wardrobe.

¦ Fur Coat - Matalan ~ Playsuit  - Boutique of Molly ¦

For evening wear, I usually opt for something black. I know this can be quite boring but I feel that it can then be worn all year round, thus getting the most use out of it. This playsuit is very summer appropriate, with two thin cami straps and the partially-backless lace detailing. However, I still feel this can be worn seasonally as the outfit can be accompanied by a complementary fluffy coat. 

Material-wise, the fabric used feels sturdy and rather luxurious, considering the cheap price. The material clings to you body, corset-style, enhancing your body shape and hugging at any curves. I am in now way, shape or form happy with my figure but this outfit gives me more confidence as it generously brings out the subtle curves on my body. 

Also, the playsuit has two front pockets,which is always an added bonus for me. Personally, I hate wearing coats when I'm going to a party; it is always a hassle trying to find somewhere to store it. Therefore, these pockets are fab to store the small essentials needed - money, phone and possibly a lipstick to top up with.

Head over to Boutique of Molly to browse their different collections (I'm always lusting over their luxury collection)! 

Lots of love

Today's post is inspired by the plush attire in which can be rented from The Black Tux along with my personal aspiration of walking the red carpet one day..*in my dreams*. If I ever attended a red carpet event, this is the look I would go for - classy and intense with a whole lot of glitter! I mean, what is an award ceremony without sparkles, eh?

Now is the fun part! Imagine your celebrity man walking down that red carpet in none other than the fashion season's favourite...THE VELVET JACKET TUXEDO! I can't explain how much I'm loving this trend/fashion statement - I'm a total sucker for velvet material and imagining your favourite guy walking alongside you dressed in this suave attire, you both will definitely be looked at for the right reasons. 

The Black Tux offers this Velvet Jacket Tuxedo accompanied by Merino wool tuxedo pants to rental for such an incredible price - especially with such high quality materials. For this style, the jacket sizes are available from 36-42.

I absolutely can't help coveting outfits I would love to wear if I were to attend such a prestigious event. Matching your man (and the walkway!) with Khloe Kardashian's red velvet dress would look so hot, Amanda Seyfried's stunning halter with beautiful embellished detail is to die for and who cannot love Beyonce?! She just looks incredible in everything she wears - *sigh*.

Check out The Black Tux to see all the other amazing rental suits and tuxedos!


What would your go-to outfit be for a red carpet event? 

Lots of love

Jumper - Urban Outfitters (£32.00)

Jeans - Select (17.99)

Boots - Primark (£22.99)

I threw this little boxing day outfit together and really liked the overall look. The Urban Outfitters jumper I received at Christmas is gorgeous;the auburn, mustard and black colours are so complementary, making the piece jump out in my wardrobe. I love new clothing that is so different from anything you've worn before - such a lovely feeling to have a change :-)

I'm so excited with what this year holds. My new years resolutions are:

•  To lose weight until I'm happy with my figure!
• Improve my flexibility. 
• Be more positive towards situations instead of entering them negatively.
• Take a photo every day of the year (I did this last year in a private facebook album and it is so cool to look back on)
• Save my money.
• Try out new beauty products rather than sticking to the same ones every day.
• Try new foods (I'm really fussy and want to eat like a normal human being)
• Have my blog reach 30,000 views and 3,000 followers. 

What are your New Year's Resolutions?

Lots of love

Hey Everyone! Sorry for the lack of seasonal posts (not that this is any better) but A levels have literally taken over my life, along with extra activities like pantomime rehearsals and driving lessons. Hopefully I will keep this up over the Winter holidays and the New Year because I would love to be as active as I was during the Summer!!

Anyway, today I'd like to write about my Friday Evening at my school's Winter Ball - celebrating the hard work we've all put into playing on the Foosball table in the common room  our AS/A levels so far and to, of course, celebrate Christmas itself. I absolutely loved the venue, the colours used to decorate were very seasonally appropriate and the dance floor was so much better than my prom!!

Onto my favourite part... GETTING READY!

As always, makeup is the best part whenever I'm getting ready to go out. The focus tonight was on my eyes because I wanted them to match my silver and black outfit. Before applying facial makeup, I went straight to my eyes because when black is involved, fallout is crazy!!! I stuck cellotape from underneath the corner of my eye to the point of my brow to create a smooth, neat line where the shadow and liner would finish. Urban Decay's Naked 2 palette came in handy; I applied verve over the top of Mac's Bare Study to form a silver undertone on the lid, followed by pistol in the crease to begin layering. Black Out, an intense, pure black, was placed in the outer corner and crease layer by layer until built to my desired look. I finished my eyes by placing silver glitter all over my lid.

Primer : Benefit Stay Flawless 15hr 

Foundation : L'Oreal Infallible 24H Foundation

Concealer : YSL Touch Eclat

Powder : Rimmel Stay Matte

Eyebrows : Soap and Glory Brow Archery

Eyeliner : Rimmel Exaggerate

Lashes : P.S Love Primark 'Sultry' Lashes

Bronzer : Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess 

Highlight : Mac Soft and Gentle 

Lipstick : Rimmel Kate Moss 101

Outfit: 

Jumpsuit : Topshop

Shoes : River Island

I wore large, silver statement jewellery to cover up big areas of bare skin - i.e my neck and arms. I absolutely love the black and silver theme I went for, despite originally planning to wear royal blue, like my bestie Jess. Also, Jess offered to curl my locks because I wanted to make my hair really voluminous and bouncy to take attention away from my chubby face.

Before leaving for the ball, Jess and I met with our friend Harvey to take some cute selfies. We also had a couple glasses of Prosecco - maybe Harvey had a few too many glasses...

The night finished up being one of the best nights I've had in a long while. I absolutely loved spending time outside of school with new, and old, friends and having so much fun. Surprisingly, the music was fab too and everyone was dancing the entire evening (none of that awkward, tense atmosphere with noone on the dance floor). 

Thank you for reading, I hope to be posting again before Christmas. What would you like to see?

Lots of love
