Lipstick Love

I have been shopping around for awhile now for a new lipstick. I love wearing orange shades at the minute and I already have a sort of subtle orange shade which I bought in Topshop 'Ooh La La'

This time I wanted a more vibrant colour. Topshop have so many different oranges, really vibrant colours but I could never bring myself to pick out a favourite in this sort of shade. I recently then picked up this Maybelline lipstick in Boots and I love it!

Although this colour is said to be a red, it really is more of a deep orange. It's just the exact colour I have been looking for. The fact it is a deeper shade of orange than most makes it so suitable to wear even on nights out. I think it is perfect for anyone who loves wearing a red lip but isn't ready to let that ship sail. It is a really fun summer colour, keeping with the bright lip only slightly more subdued and also a warmer shade than bright pinks,etc. 

I am definitely going to be wearing this colour loads throughout summer now. Whats your favourite lip colour to wear this season? Anyone else loving orange lips right now?

Just a quick post on my outfit for the day ♥

White shirt - Primark

Orange blazer - Primark

Patterned shorts - River Island

I bought these shorts last summer and I have been in love with them since! I find them so easy to wear either during the day or even a night out. Even though the colours and pattern are quite strong it is so easy to match them with different items in my wardrobe!

Colour My Wardrobe

So I thought it was time I updated my wardrobe for the summer seasons. I am a fan of my darker shades especially for nights out so I thought it was time to add a splash of colour to the mix!
First thing I bought was a monochrome skirt from River Island which I fell in love with once I seen it! Monochrome is very in an the minute, I had tried the shorts recently brought out in the Rihanna collection but I am not really one for shorts so I was delighted to find this skirt! I found it to be quite dull with a black top so I bought the coral crop top to go with it it but I am on the search for a cobalt blue top because I think it would be ideal!
I also bought a printed dress from River Island in a denim-like and black colour. It has quite a light material and nips in perfectly at the waist with a small capped sleeve. I love the print of this dress it is very detailed and sits perfectly.
The next outfit is entirely from Topshop which is one of my favourite places to shop! I got this muted purple skater skirt which is perfect to wear day or night with the versatile colour and light weight material. I chose two tops to wear with this skirt for the summer season. Both are floral print, one is a more fitted bralet style and the other is a light loosely cut top with a few buttons down the centre. The cut out detail at the back is my favourite detail on this item. There is a selection of colour throughout each top with splashes of purple to tie in with the skirt but this also makes it very easy to match with various items in my wardrobe!
The last item I bought is possibly my favourite item of all my purchases! This was a very reasonably priced dress from Miss Selfridge. This is floral print long fitted dress and I wore this item with a pair of orange wedges and also added some orange lipstick to carry some colour through as the colours are quite pale.
That's all my new items, so I look forward to wearing these very soon!
