Wishlist : Date Outfits

Hello girlies - today I am back with another wishlist.... or 2! I always get such great feedback from wishlist posts and I find them so fun to do (although they do make me want to spend too much money that I don't actually have... oppsie!)

I have 2 wishlists today the first being a fun and flirty Day Date outfit and the second being a gorgeous, glam Date Night outfit.
We all love a good date - weather it's a first date, a date with your partner you've been with for years or even just a fun day/evening with a good friend - it's always a good excuse to get dressed up, feel great about yourself and look your best!

First up - The Day Date. This could be anything from lunch to a seaside walk to a round of mini golf - this outfit is such a cute, simple look!
Pink Jeans | Cream Lace Shirt | Ballet Sandals | Stud Earrings | George Quick Dry Nail Polish | Grey Satchel With Scallop Edge

I am loving pink at the moment. Pastels, brights, neons - I think they are so cute and you don't need alot of it to make an outfit.
 I choose these jeans as the statement piece of this day date outfit because 1. the colour is fab and 2. because jeans are fab for a nice afternoon out. Easy to wear and they look great!
 I love love love the little lace shirt so much it is totally on trend still and it is just a fraction of the price you would pay in other high street stores!
 The satchel and shoes are so sweet for the Spring and Summer months, the bag is the perfect size for a day out!
I thought the nail polish matched the jeans perfectly and it is great way link the pink into the outfit a little more. (on both fingers and toes!)

And now it's time for the look I'm loving for a Date Night. Drinks at a bar, dinner in a pub or even a trip to the cinema - this is such an easy and sophisticated look to pull off!
First up I am loving these black leather look leggings - I'm not normally one for leggings with a shorter top but because of the material I think these can work! The top is a cute monochrome pattern - I think black and white is great for nights out (especially on a date) it's hard to go wrong with it. 
I had to add a bit of colour (obviously) and that is where the shoes came in. I am obsessed with pointed heels at the moment - 10 years ago when I first started high school they were all the rage and now they are back and bigger then ever! These are a subtle pop of pink which match the gorgeous lipstick ('small talk') I've added! Earrings for a bit of bling and a little bag for all the essentials - done.

Everything chosen is from the fab George at Asda - I love how on trend George always are and the fact it is so affordable makes it a thousand times better! These outfits could easily be mixed up aswell - swap the tops and there's another 2 fab looks!

What do you girls think?! These work great for dates or better still for a girly lunch or a night out with your besties aswell!

New! Seventeen Stay Pout Lipsticks

I am a lipstick hoarder. It's true, I confess. 
My collection just keeps growing and growing and there's not a shade of pink, purple, orange or red that I don't want to try!
So when new lipstick ranges released my first reaction is to try them out and check out all the colours that are available.
This happened recently with Seventeen's new lipstick collection - Stay Pout.
(I would just like to firstly apologise for the quality of my photos for this post, really struggling with taking photos after work nowadays with it getting darker so much earlier, hope you can forgive me!)

I first heard about these whilst flicking through a beauty magazine a while ago and seeing a photo of the colour "Rule Breaker" - now this year I'm all about trying darker shades and venturing out of my comfort zone so I knew that I had to find this gorgeous plumy-red shade and try it out.
So when I saw the collection had been released I headed straight for Rule Breaker and swatched it! It was so pigmented and felt nice and hydrating after just one swatch that I was immediately sold and seeing as they were on offer (3 for £10 on all Seventeen products) I decided to grab another.... 5. I know, I know - issues.
I got a range colours from the dark reddy-purple to a cute baby pink and have been so impressed with them! 
They are probably about average in price for a drug-store brand lipstick at £4.49, but like I said at the moment Boots have all Seventeen products 3 for £10 which is a bargain - basically getting one for free!

1. Rule Breaker
2. Infared
3. Date Night
4. Make An Entrance
5. Delinquent
6. Kiss Me Quick
All these colours are fabulous and amazing additions to my ever growing lipstick collection.
I got such a mixture of shades from the dark purple/red of 'Rule Breaker' to the bright orange shade 'Make An Entrance' to the gorgeous baby pink 'Kiss Me Quick' I'm so glad I got such a wide range of colours. And even though shades 2 and 3 look similiar in the swatch there is a big difference in the shade of red which you can see in the previous photo of the lipsticks.
I think my favourite though has to be Delinquent - the gorgeous bright fuschia pink!
All these colours stay on so so well and keep the lips looking and feeling moisturised another great make-up purchase!

Have you tried any of the Stay Pout collection yet? Any colours you fancy trying out?
