Outfit & Make up of the Night - My 21st Birthday

So this week I celebrated my 21st birthday. I had the most amazing time and I still can't get over how kind everyone is :-)

Naturally, I decided to throw a big party for my big birthday and I thought some of you might like to see my outfit and make up of the night for possible inspiration or just plain interest ;-) 

This is my outfit ;-) A gorge midi off the shoulder dress and a pair of red T bar heels with a gold skull pendant on the toe! LOVE!

Dress: Boutique of Molly

Shoes: Everythig5pounds.com

I wanted to do something a little different for my eye make up so I played around with a few things and this is what I came up with ;-) Sorry the liner is so bad, this pic was actually taken at the end of the night! It lasted well I must say :-)

Products used: 

Eyes: Urban Decay Naked Basics 2,

Collections Fast Stroke liquid Liner,

Front Cover gold eye glitter,

Essence Big Lash waterproof Mascara,

Brows: Elf Studio Eyebrow Kit in Dark Brown,

& Rimmel Brow This Way.

I also used my Morphe cream contour/concealer palette and Loreal Infallible Foundation with the NYX matte setting spray, and Benefit High Beam to highlight.  

I have Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipstick in Pure Hollywood on my lips, which I did a review for here ;-)
By the way, this selfie was taken in my PJs before I got dressed, in case anyone was wondering why my outfit looks different ;-)

Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday over on Instagram and Twitter, Love you guys! 

If anyone would like a tutorial on this look or a review of any of the products mentioned don't hesitate to ask :-) 

Hope you guys enjoyed this post and has a fabulous weekend :-) 

Love & Hugs, Lora xo

Boutique of Molly Velour Swing Cami Styled 4 Ways

I was recently approached by Boutique of Molly and asked if I would be interested in purchasing an item off of their online boutique and blogging about it. I checked out the website and fell in love with so many items so I said yes straight away :-)

So I purchased this super gorge velour cami swing top. They have so many beautiful pieces that look so expensive and are really affordable, but I thought that this top was really different but so classy and versatile :-)

I'm just going to quickly mention a few things about this top before I get into the way I styled it :-)

The Material 

I could literally feel this top all day, it is sooo soft and velvety. It comes with a little slip attached on the inside and a gorgeous thick lace trim on the bottom, as well as a thin lace trim on the neckline. The straps are really thin spaghetti straps and are quite stretchy. They can also be adjusted so you can make them longer or shorter :-)

Here you can really see the detail...

Because its a swing top, it is so comfortable and really flattering on. It hides unwanted lumps and bumps which is always a plus! My favourite thing about the material has to be the navy reflect to it, I absolutely LOVE it. 

The Size

In the images below, I am wearing a size 12. I'm very big chested (if you catch my drift ;-) and its always a risk getting a crop top because most end up being really really short! But, this top is the perfect length to wear with high waisted bottoms and skirts, which I was delighted about :-) 

How I Styled it

I styled this top 4 different ways, 2 casual and 2 dressy. I am by no means a fashion expert or stylist but I think they look cute :-)
