What to wear to a job interview? | Pinks and Florals

Hi everyone! So today i had a job interview and i wore an outfit that i had previously worn, remembering how much i loved it all together and how smart it looked!. 
When you hear the word interview you automatically think suited and booted which really isn't the case, yes you have to dress smart but you are allowed to bring in your own style, you look boring otherwise and you're there to impress!

I have just recently bought this absolutely stunning blazer from River Island, i am so so in love with it and it's in my favourite colour ever! The picture has made it look more peach than it is, it's a lovely pink shade. 
Available at this link if you wish to purchase! :

It's currently retailed at £45.00 and feels so lovely to wear. 

The top is from Miss Selfridge in the petite range, and is a really pretty floral print cami top with ruffles along the top, front and back.
The top is currently sold out, but if you want a closer look you can find it here:

I have found the exact same top except its just plain pink with no print, which is still available if you wish to buy!

Remember these are from the petite range, i have hardly any body length so i need these to be shorter. 

I simply paired the two items together with some plain black leggings from H&M, and my generic new look handbag (so old i need to throw it away) which was £20.
To complete the look i wore my new pumps from Primark, a huge bargain at only £4-£6 pound! These shoes are a lovely style, although it's a pointed toe, they are extremely comfortable and fit my wider feet. Very smart shoes for an interview, without looking too casual.

I hope this has helped you if you ever come across an occasion that you need to dress smartly for!

Sunny Sunday | Black and Yellow

So today's post is a little later than planned but i've only just come around to uploading the photos my sister kindly took earlier! Sundays are always lazy days for me, but seeming as i currently have nothing to do, it was extra lazy! I did however go on another canal walk, we live in the countryside so its a must do on a summers day. I am loving the heat!

I just wore a casual outfit, by pairing this beautiful cross backed canary yellow top with my old favourite black and white patterned shorts. (Tucked in) To finish it off i added a gold linked chain necklace, cat eye turtle shell glasses, and black and gold sandals, take a look:

Top: River Island, £8

Sunglasses: River Island, £10

Shorts: H&M, £10

Shoes: Primark, £6

Necklace: Miss Selfridge, £10

I also thought i would add in a little FOTD, (Face of the day) I usually wear my eye liner as winged eyeliner so today i decided to experiment and also used a new product on my lips. I went for golden shades on my eyes to match my outfit, and used a light pink blush. All products will be listed below!

I started off by using my daily concealer which is Collection 2000 lasting perfection, in medium warm shade, i put this under my eyes and on any red blemishes i could see. I then took my daily foundation, Rimmel London, Wake me Up, in shade 200 Soft beige, and did a really light layer all round my face, and a little down my neck to cover up any lines. (This foundation is really light and feels like a moisturiser). I applied this with my Real Techniques Stippling brush!. I then dusted areas of my face with Rimmel London's Bronzer, and added a bit of pink to my cheeks with a blush from a kit by Kryolan. (Charles Fox store in London).

For my eyes i used my Urban Decay Naked palette, (The first one) and used the golden shades over my whole lid, whilst using a darker brown, (darkhorse shade) for the crease. I highlighted my eyes with the shade Virgin. I then added a really thin line of black liquid eyeliner over my top lids. (Rimmel London, Glam Eyes) To finish i put on some mascara, in intense black shade. (Maybelline New York, Pulse Perfection). Sometimes i then also use my No.7 Volumising mascara to add a tad more volume!

To finish the whole look i swept a little brown eyeshadow using an angled brush, through my eyebrows. (Kryolan Palette) And added Baby Lips Maybelline 'Peach Kiss' to my lips, as well as a peach MAC lipgloss i got from a friend.

Casual Saturday | Zara Shorts

Hi guys! So today i was actually pretty productive, and for once i got up early. This is because i had an eyebrow appointment at 9 so i didn't get up voluntarily! After my brows were done (will post a picture with a makeup look soon). I took my next door neighbour's dog for a reallllyyy long walk, so decided to wear a pretty casual outfit for the day! Again it's a summery outfit, courtesy of a boiling hot day that the British weather has thankfully given us. (Pleaseee continue).

Again i got my younger sister to take my photos, shes actually a really good photographer and i can't do them myself so it works out pretty well. She has actually just started a blog her self, www.blossomconfetti.blogspot.co.uk if you would like to have a look and see what she is writing! 

So here is my outfit of the day:

Shorts: Zara (old, unsure on price)

Top: New Look, around £8? I have tied it in these photos, it is a drape top

Shoes: Primark, around £8

Necklace: River Island, again £8!

Sunglasses: River Island, £10

60's Summer Style | River Island LE

Hi everyoneee, so i haven't blogged for literally months and months which is awful of me but i finally have an iphone so can actually start taking pictures! (Still don't have an actual camera though).
I have also finally finished my first year at university so have more free time to sit and blog. I have also set up a new instagram account under the name : tutufancy_  personalised for my blog only if you wish to follow my updates. (They will be more frequent on there)

So here is my outfit of the day, i bought this dress way back in october time and haven't had a chance to wear it until this summery weather the UK is finally having!. This dress is from River Island but was limited edition so i'm not sure where you would be able to find it now unfortunately. I'm so in love with the crochet collar detail, i love anything with a collar and i think it gives it a really sophisticated, and 60's look.

The only down side with this dress is that it's extremely see through! Even right down at the bottom so i am wearing a nude full body undergarment from Marks and Spencer underneath it to avoid any embarrassing moments. 

My younger sister took these photos for me in our garden:

Dress: River Island £22

Shoes: New Look (so old i have no idea how much, not expensive though!)

Sunglasses: River Island £10

OOTD and FOTD: Friday and new boots

So i'm uploading this a couple days late but i've had exams to revise for so i guess i had an excuse! I got my friend to take a few pictures of my outfit in the lecture (productive) as i bought some new boots and it was my first time trying them out.

H&M , £29.99

I was shopping with my friend and wasn't actually going to buy anything when i suddenly came across these beautiful boots! I tried them on in the shop and instantly wanted them, they went so well with the outfit i was wearing at the time and were so so comfy. I knew id wear them a lot! I also love the height they give me, being small it's always useful to have some sort of heel. When my mum came to visit she thought they were Kurt Geiger's so i'm very impressed i found this on the highstreet! I might even like them more than my kurts...

For the outfit, i opted for a pretty boring all black ensemble, it was a long day and i thought it was easiest to just wear black. As the boots had silver lining and a silver zip, i wore my silver chained necklace to complete the look.

Necklace: River Island, Jumper: Topshop, Skirt: New Look, Boots: H&M

I thought i'd also add my first FOTD post (Face of the day) and talk about what make-up i wore and the products used.

I use, and have been for a long time, the Rimmel London Wake me up Foundation, and i can't see myself changing anytime soon! Its so light but gives a good coverage and smells really nice which for me is an added bonus, i hate the smell of foundation. I wear shade 200 soft beige and i really like how it looks on my skin.

I'm also wearing my NARS blush in the shade Luster, a coral based colour which is super pretty and gives so much warmth to the face. 

For my eyes i'm wearing the L'Oreal Super Liner pen in black, and then just No7 Mascara.

On my lips i'm wearing my new lipstick from Rimmel London, called Starry-eyed, and it's currently my favourite!

OOTD: Christmas Day

Sitting here in my ill state (im always ill in winter its a joke) i realised i didn't post about my christmas day outfit! Ooops. Christmas is a favourite day of mine, and this year was my family's turn to spend it at my cousin's in Wiltshire. 

We started the morning by opening presents, i got some lovely things! I will try and feature some of my new stuff in product reviews and OOTD's when i get round to it. My main present from my parents were my kurt geiger heels, i have a blog post on them in my wish list. I FINALLY OWN THEM. After about 6 months of staring at them i now have them all for myself. 

So here was my outfit. Of course im wearing my new shoes, how could i resist. They were £140 in retail and £160 online for some reason, but so worth it. Because of the slim gold chain i decided to wear all black and gold to revolve my outfit around my shoes! My dress is super old, from Topshop and i have no memory of what the price was. My necklace is featured in my birthday haul post and was a present from my auntie but i'm pretty sure it's a River Island piece! A simple outfit that i finished off with waves through my hair and a red lip. 

Me and mum, wearing Karen Millen

Not sharing all my presents on here, but i wanted to share this one. My boyfriend who's currently away in Canada, sent this over for Christmas and i thought it was the sweetest thing ever! I had no idea you could get love heart pandora boxs and i prefer them so much to the plain square ones! As he's in Whistler i've named my bear Whistler and he has now filled up a section on my bracelet! <3

First Fashion Work Experience: The Clothes Show Live 2013

A month ago i got the chance to work at one of the UK's biggest fashion events, the clothes show live in the Birmingham NEC. If you haven't been before i would seriously recommend it but would advise you to go with a group of girl friends as the amount of unhappy boyfriends being dragged around the stalls with their girlfriends didn't seem like a very enjoyable experience for either of them! 

The arena is full of different clothing and beauty stores, with the occasional unique stall here and there. The stalls vary from different clothing brands, make-up brands, unique vintage clothing labels, hair stalls and even beauty treatments such as teeth whitening! There are also numerous catwalk shows, featuring Britain and Ireland's next top model, and every half an hour the main catwalk show is performed, where models show off a mixture of designer clothing, and are accompanied on stage with professional dancers. You also get the opportunity to meet certain celebrities, and there are a lot of prize winning occasions to get involved with along with plenty of free goody bags!

I was extremely lucky to be able to work backstage for the main event. I was a dresser, and was given a dancer which i has happy with as the outfits were a lot simpler to get on and off in comparison to the models.
I had 6 outfits, one quick change, and basically had to make sure i had the right outfit ready at the right scene, and help my dancer with anything she needed. 

The work itself was fairly tough, although dressing doesn't seem like much effort, i was having to travel from my Uni, Northampton, to Birmingham every morning for 6 days, and my days ended up being 16 hours. It didn't help that there wasn't many opportunities to eat, as the food served there was pretty disgusting we ended up having to sneak off to subway and starbucks if we had the time, and if we didn't, then we didn't eat! A combination of lack of food and sleep made everyone exhausted and we were looking forward to the last day. 

Throughout the show i bonded closer to my course mates, we were all struggling with the long days together and travelling together that we all became super close and looking back at it we miss the experience altogether! I also felt like i made a good bond with my supervisor there, and with my dancer Caoife, who were both extremely lovely ladies and made it all worthwhile being there. 

Me and Caoife

Me and my course mates

We ended up knowing all the songs to the catwalk, and all the speeches off by heart we heard it that much, but on the last day everyone was in good spirits and it was such a good day. We did the shows as normal, and were allowed a glass of champagne which was nice. I got an autograph of Stooshe for my sister, and i also saw Union J, TOWIE cast and MIC cast and Peter Andre. Near the end of the show i got a picture with my favourite male TOWIE cast member, Dan Osborne! I have a huge thing for him, so naturally this was extremely exciting.

Everyone was so thankful for my hard work and i am definitely applying for a job role next year! My first fashion experience was amazing and i can't wait to see what next year brings. We also got invited to the VIP after party, which sadly none of us could go too as we lived too far away and was far too much to book a hotel. :(. So proud of myself for committing all the way through to the end, and i'll certainly never forget about it!
