Spring Wedding Outfit

Hi guys I was recently at a wedding and EVERYONE kept asking me where I got my outfit from! 
So I decided to do a blog post about it and spill the beans! 
You won't believe how purse friendly the skirt is...
Skirt / Romwe (get it here)
Top / River Island (get it here)
Heels / Miss Selfridge (get them here)
Necklace / River Island (get it here)
Bag / DKNY (get it here)
Assortment of Rings / River Island
Watch / Michael Kors

I have to say the quality of this skirt is amazing, its lined and the fabric is so thick. It didn't crease at all and remained in shape all day and night! I cant believe I bought it for such a bargain! 
The top is super feminine, its the perfect amount of sheer and just drapes effortlessly over the body. The cropped shape sat perfectly upon the skirts waistband and the blush colour really complimented the floral blossoms in the skirt. 
I spotted the necklace in the accessories section on the way to the till when I was purchasing my top. The pictures make it hard to appreciate how beautiful the necklace really is. It's so eye catching, the blush colour of the stones perfectly matched the top and it looks way more expensive than it is. (It definitely makes a statement so I kept other accessories to a minimum).
The heels I picked up by chance I had an old pair in mind but when I put these on my feet I knew I had to own them. I was able to wear them all day long as the block heel and the thick ankle strap makes them super comfy and easy to walk (and dance) in!

Below are a couple of photos taken during the evening with some of my favorite people!:

The outfit was so comfortable throughout the whole day! As we all know weddings are long days full of food, drinks and partying so it's essential to wear something comfy! The weather was so beautiful that I didn't even need my cream scalloped cropped blazer over my shoulders (but I was raging that I forgot my sunnies)!

I hope you all liked my latest outfit post. I hope it has given you some fashion inspiration for wedding season and it just goes to show you don't need to spend big bucks to put together a special outfit.

In the Trenches

With the changing weather it's hard to know what to wear, its cold one minute and hot the next!
A sleeveless trench is the perfect solution!

It is such a versatile piece to have in your wardrobe and can be worn so many ways:
Over a thin knit jumper with a scarf and fedora
Over with the perfect little black dress with sky high heels
Over ripped knee skinnies with boots
The options are endless!!!

Here's how I style mine:
 
Sleeveless Trench / Missguided , Ripped Knee Jamie Jeans / Topshop
Mulberry Alexa / Brown Thomas , Boots / Dorothy Perkins
Metallic Tank / Topshop , Body Harness / River Island
Bracelets / Alex & Ani , Watch / Michael Kors

Hope you all enjoyed my latest look!

Laura Loves... Makeup Revolution Aqua Seal

I'm loving everything in the Makeup Revolution range! Especially the new Aqua Seal liquid eye primer & sealant. 
 
It's a water like texture primer which can be used under your eyeshadow to prime and intensify or worn over your eyeshadow to seal and waterproof your look! 

I use it with the Makeup Revolution pure pigment eyeshadow pots. It further intensifies the already highly pigmented eyeshadow, making your eyes pop and do all the talking!!!

Screw off the handy dropper and dip an angled brush directly into the Aqua Seal. Dip the brush straight into the pigment pot and tap off the excess. Use it to line along your lash line or as an all over colour for a super intense, super shimmery look. 

Once it's applied to the skin, it dries and seals in the colour. It won't budge until you rub it off using plenty of makeup remover, which is brilliant for those long party nights! 
 
MAC angled brush
 
 

Makeup Revolution Aqua Seal liquid eye primer is unlike any primer I have ever used before! It creates intensity, provides a waterproof gloss, it seals your look creating a glamorous finish which lasts the whole day and it's super pocket friendly! 

I highly recommend this product!
It definitly gets the "Laura Loves..." seal of approval!

Have a great week!

Shine On (Metallic brogues & backpack)

 
 
Jamie Jeans / Topshop , 2 in 1 Jumper / Penneys , Bag / New Look
Shoes / Penneys (Primark) , Glasses / Jeepers Peepers @ ASOS
Watch / Michael Kors , Bracelets / Alex & Ani
 
 

I'm loving anything and everything silver right now, especially silver brogues and handbags!

I picked up my silver brogues in Penneys (Primark) during the summer and when I saw this silver backpack in New Look recently I knew I had to have it! Both pieces are surprisingly versatile and really make an outfit stand out. 

I decided to wear them both together and pare it back with on trend ripped knee skinnies and a slouchy jumper, for a more casual look. 

I absolutely loved shooting this today in Malahide Castle Dublin the backdrop is stunning!

Hope you enjoyed my latest look,
Have a great week!

Monochrome With A Twist

I originally styled this outfit totally monochrome with a white sleeveless shirt underneath my black sleeveless blazer, my blue/black jeans and a black handbag! 

When I looked in the mirror I thought how cute would it be to do a twist on the traditional black and white monochrome, so I grabbed my lilac cami and fluffy bag:

 
Sleeveless Blazer / Forever21 , Cami / River Island , Jeans / Topshop , Fluffy Bag / River Island,  Pool Sliders / River Island 
 
 
 
Pool Sliders / River Island , Watch / Michael Kors , Pineapple Necklace / Charming Charlie , Midi Ring / River Island , Fluffy Handbag Below / River Island
 
Hope you liked my latest look,
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

'Undress Me Too' With MUA (Mini Makeup Haul)

I was in Superdrug recently and saw they had a 3 for 2 offer across all MUA products! I love 3 for 2 offers and this brand is so purse friendly that I figured it would be rude not to avail of this fab offer!!! 
Here's what I picked up:
 
 
Mosaic Bronzer / MUA / €3.50
I picked this bronzer up in the colour 'Natural Glow' (shade 1). This was the cheapest of the three products so, with the 3 for 2 offer, I practically got it for free! I love it, the colour isn't overpowering and it has a lovely rosy tint to it which looks great worn both above and below the cheekbones! However, it's definitely not the best bronzer I've used but I would reccomend it for a cheap, cheerful and natural everyday bronzer. 
Pro-Base Fixing Mist / MUA / €6.00
I have never tried anything like this product before, honestly, due to the fact that I find them quite gimmicky! All you have to do is spray it over your finished makeup and it's meant to seal in your look all day long! I have used it but I can't say I noticed any dramatic difference to the longevity of my makeup.
I like the idea of it, but, does it work... The jury is still out on this one!
 
 
'Undress Me Too' Eyeshadow Palette / MUA / €5.00 
The colours in this palette are so beautiful. It is essentially a nude palette, but the gorgeous bronze shimmers can take you from daytime to nighttime in one easy swoop! To my surprise the quality of the individual eyeshadows are fantastic, they apply easily and stay on all day/night!
  
Here I created a simple daytime nude look by placing the lighter glitter bronze at the tear duct and worked outwards using a gradient of darker colours. A sweep of black liner and you're ready for a night on the town!

My favourite product is definitely the 'Undress Me Too' eyeshadow palette, and it's only a fiver!

Have you used these products? 
I'd love to hear your feedback!
Thanks for reading,

Love Laura
