BBQ OOTD!

So this weekend I went at a lovely BBQ celebrating my two friend getting engaged. It was especially sweet because they chose to do this on their anniversary of when they first started dating a long 9 years ago.

It was a lovely gathering of friends and family for them. There was lots of lovely food of course and happily the weather behaved and we were lucky to have sun (even if it was coming and going).

On to the outfit…

Dress - Boohoo | Belt - ASOS | Cardigan - Newlook | Ring - Accessorize | Bangle - H&M

For my face I went very simple, just a warm brown shadow across the lid with MAC's 'All that glitters' in the inner corner (I love that suff). Finished it off with a bit of Maybelline Gel Liner in black on the outer half of my upper lash line. I used a warm coral/brown dusted on the cheeks and 'spice' lip liner by Rimmel all over he lips, I put a touch of clear lip gloss just to give a bit of moisture to my lips…and voilà!

It was such a lovely afternoon/evening. Congratulations to the lovely couple!

What did you guys get up to this weekend? Anything interesting?

Firstly I would like to say HELLO to all my new friends ('followers') that I have recently joined my blog after Sunday's #bbloggers chat on Twitter! It never ceases to amaze me how amazing this blogging community is, thank you!! =D

Now on to the post...Today I went to see my gorgeous sister-in-law (my cousins wife) 2 weeks before she is due to give birth. We both have been busy for a long time to meet up and finally we both have time for some tea and biscuits! I thought I'd just share my OOTD and FOTD.

Can you tell that I need a new camera, or a tripod! Excuse that faceless picture.

It was just a casual afternoon and I wanted to be comfortable. I recently got this jumper from Boohoo and I am in love! I was skeptical about the quality when buying it but loved the print, but when I got it I was so pleased! It's soooo soft and warm! Perfect for these colder months. I got mine in a size S/M and it's quite baggy on me, but that's what I like.

The boots are really old; like 2/3 years old, but they are a solid pair of boots. With a decent heel. I always prefer wearing heels when they are in the form of boots because you have more stability! No more tripping around!

I just went with a simple gold eye and a nude lip. Nothing too outrageous.

Hope you all had a chilled day!
