A busy afternoon.

Heya!

Had a very busy afternoon today! My little sister and I were in charge on dinner so we cooked about 10 different tapas style dishes (although we ended up with rather massive portions). There was easily enough to feed 8 people so there are quite a few leftover (there are only 4 of us in my family!) We all felt so fat afterwards we decided to go for a bike ride (to the pub!) So here's what I wore...

Playsuit - Miss Selfridge
Belt - Vintage from Urban Outfitters
Cardigan - Topshop

I did have a very brief chance to paint my nails so I did a quick leopard print!

Green - Sparkle & Fade (UO)
Lilac Dream - Models Own
Collection 2000 liquid eyeliner
3-in-one top/base/gloss - Models Own

Been trying out some different make-up looks from the Vogue make-upbook in an attempt to be actually able to do make-up! I think I'm getting better. Will be a long time till I have the skills of Sanchia! (check out the amazing smokey eye below!) 

That's all for now! I'm going to try and have an early night. Just looked through my diary and the last time I got to bed before 11.30pm was nearly a month ago! I need my sleep!

Lots of Love, Millie xxx

How to Style: Breton Stripes

Breton stripes are a pretty integral part of my wardrobe and seem to come back every summer! I currently have a long sleeved H&M black/white top, a Navy New Look dress with white stripes and the most recent addition to my collection, a white and navy River Island tee which I picked up in the sale for £5. I always fall into the bog standard tee and denim shorts so I stuck Breton stripe into Chictopia and it threw up these gems! Some definate outfit inspiration here!

I had a spare 10 minutes this morning so decided to try out some different ways of styling my river island tee. I only had time to try out 3 different outfits though so will maybe have another experiment tomorrow! If you have any styling suggestions, please suggest and I'll try and give them a go tomorrow!

 Outfit 1. H&M Denim Shorts, Silence & Noise Blazer, Spanish scarf

Outfit 2. Warehouse Skirt, Urban Outfitters Belt, Dorothy Perkins heels

Outfit 3. Jack Wills Tailored shorts, Urban Outfitters Belt

Which is your favourite?

I went sailing today so wore the tee with the denim shorts and some lovely big sunnies! (although the whole look was rather ruined by my lifejacket.)

I also painted my nails in a nautical theme. However it failed spectacuarly. (especially my first attempt at a red ensign (a sailing flag) so I then tried a Union Jack which is also pretty terrible! Sorry about the dodgy painting too, I forgot to take another picture this morning having sorted it all out!

So any breton styling suggestions? Would me hugely appreciated!

P.s. I got the vogue make-up book out of the library earlier in an attempt to improve my terrible make-up application skills...I hope it works!
