Finally getting to the sex ...

And oh it was good!

My best friend and I finally got around to seeing Sex and the City 2 on Tuesday night .. and boy was it worth the wait - so much better that the first movie (IMO)

I dressed up a little in honour of Carrie and the gal's, even adding a classic SJP flower accessory to my hair!

First of all we went for an Italian meal and for cocktails (Well who wouldn't) before we caught the late night showing, I loved every second of the second helping of sex, even though there were some extremely dodgy fashion choices!! (Yes Carrie I do mean that hat .. and Samantha that red outfit!!)

And it was so good to see my friend and have a good ol catch up sesh, gossip and a giggle .. just what I needed after the day I had (see below)

What I wore:

Dress: Primark.

Leggings: Tesco.

Wrap: Gifted.

Flower in my hair: Peacocks.

This is what I wore to work on Tuesday - It reminds me of something out of "Land Girls" - Not sure why - the khaki I think!

Had a bit of an odd day to say the least, can't really say anything about it though as it involves work... but lets say if I didn't laugh I would of probably drowned in a sea made of my own tears by now!!

But I've almost come to a point where i have given up and decided to let some of these things wash over me ... or I might end up a nervous quivering wreck!

Don't mess with me (lol)

Also I had to get up early on Tuesday for when the surgery opened for yet more tests .. this time for glucose, thyroid etc ... we'll see on Monday what the outcomes are ...

What I wore:

Top: New Look.

Skirt: Pilot.

Shoes: Gifted.

Messing about with the "pinhole setting" on my camera!!

Rock of Love!

Dress: Thrifted.

Bolero: F+F @ Tesco.

Some shots from the wedding with some of our friends!

Seeing as it was our 6th anniversary I thought I'd share with you a picture or two of some of our first dates!! :D

And one from our honeymoon :) I know I just had my hair cut the other day - But looking at this I want my long hair back :'(

Lastly I would just like to take this opportunity to say that I hope Bret Michael's recovers soon, as a huge poison fan, and having loved watching him on Rock of Love - my prayers and thoughts are with him and his family at this time!!

Other brands are available.......

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

Face products:

• 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.
  
  

The finished product ... just my hair to run the straighteners over now and I'll be ready!

Ta-Da ready to party!!

And lastly the Bride and Groom! Congratulations!!!

I have quite a few wedding photo's if anyone is interested let me know :D
