My beautiful vintage dress that I thrifted for less than £5 and couldn't wait to wear, It came without a sash so I borrowed one off another dress, and tied it into a bow at the back.
I loved it and felt like a princess in it - Unfortunately we only got to stay an hour and half at the wedding reception as the snow storm outside was so bad we had to leave - otherwise we may of been stranded, so by 10pm I was home - all dressed up and nowhere to go :'(

I was inspired by Sher at Fashion After Forty to document my getting ready process, I didn't have quite as much time to take photo's of every step, plus i had already done my hair and nails etc when getting ready for the service this morning, And I'm not as brave as Sher to go Au natural - the blogging world is not ready for that!!!!!
Most of my beauty products are from Avon as my mum is a representative :D
- Magix Face Perfector - Avon.
- Cream to powder foundation - Avon.
- Mineral powder foundation - Avon.
- Face pearls - Avon.
I start off by smoothing face perfector over all my face then a thin layer of foundation over my whole face including my eyelids - makes my eyeshadow stick.
Then I dust on mineral foundation in circles all over my face and neck and add a sweep of face pearls.
My face when I have completed step 1!
Next comes the eye shadows .. I sweep on a varied amount of different eye shadows, today believe it or not i used all these products .. starting with a nude base colour, then a highlighter under my brow bone, colouring my eyebrows a darker brown also. Then tonight a put on a cream eyeshadow in a gold colour, blending it with a gold "normal" eye colour.
Then I added dark brown to make a winged smokey eye effect and added eyeliner to my top and bottom of my eyes and finished with a coat of mascara.
Next come the lips, I outlined my lips with a Naturals collection lip liner in red. Then used a brown lipstick to fill in topped by a ruby red colour and gloss.
Blusher and Mascara to finish.
- Blusher - Rimmel, Soft Rose.
- Mascara - Avon.

£5, really? What a beautiful dress for a great price! Glad that you had fun at the wedding.
You have some great skirts - I love the black and white one as well as the one that you posted on Saturday.
I know I couldn't believe it when I saw it, I had been around all the high street shops looking for a dress to wear and couldnt find one I loved, then popped in to the thrift store fo nothing in particular and saw it hanging there .. tried it on and fell in love with it :D
And thankyou for the comment about the skirts also, I definitly am a skirt lover :D
Hon your gorgeous without makeup! And you must find another excuse to wear that dress again. Any plans for a New Year party?
That is a great dress! The tree looks good too
Yes - the tea place is adorable, and their tea selection is great. (In the US, particularly since the Starbucks HQ is in a nearby city to where I live, coffee places are so prevalent that it's hard to find a great tea shop.)
Thank you - I had a lovely birthday!
Thankyou Vintage :)
Sher I hope I can wear it again soon, we are going to a NYE party but it's not really a formal occassion - infact i'm guessing most of the guest will wear jeans!! (Prob not me tho hehe)
And thankyou for saying that about my makeup!
Ooooh lovely dress and what a Bargain!!
That dress is so pretty on you, and is was such a great price!
Wishing you both a Very Merry Christmas! And a Happy Boxing day over the weekend ;)
hugs
Sherry
