And what better way to bring in the first day of summer than actual sunshine and a new shade of lipstick?
I really wanted to get a bright coral lip colour, but some trends should be left to others. I looked a bit scary with fluorescent coral lips, and was adviced by my Sephora sales associate that I should stick to a slight coral tinted gloss. I settled on the Sephora brand lipstick in 'Coral Coquette' which I recommend for others who aren't ready for highlighter lips.
Thinking I'll celebrate the first day of summer with an after work bbq and a concert at a new local music venue. How will you spend your summer solstice?

I'll be spending the first day of summer in bed dying. THANKS FOR REMINDING ME ;)
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely
How adorable are you?! I love your first day of summer outfit!
ReplyDeleteYou look so chic! I love the bright blue jacket and the blue polka dot shoes.
ReplyDeleteNeon coral isn't my thing either. I have one lipstick from Chanel Rouge Allure in Exotic that I consider my coral lip colour. It looks very orangey in the tube, but it goes on semi-sheer and blends with my lip's natural pink colour to give me a bright but not outrageous coral hue. Try it!
Such a cute outfit, that jacket and dress are just adorable!

I am so not ready for highlighter lips, I wish I could pull them off but nope... I definitely love the shade you chose.
ReplyDeleteI am swooning over this look
I was at the beach earlier today and tonight will be meeting up with a friend for dinner & drinks. Yay for summer! P.S. love your hair like this... looks so sleek!

I'd actually love to see you with bright coral lips, but I know bold lip colours take a bit of getting used to- my coral lipstick doesn't make it out of my make-up drawer all that often :) And bright coral probably wouldn't have gone with this elegant look... Something about the sleek ponytail and polkadot pumps (which I adore, by the way) reminds me of Pippa Middleton, who, like you, is pretty much as stylish as they come :)

I love your outfit! The dress is adorable, so fitting for the first day of the summer.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the coral lipstick reco! I've been looking for one too, but I don't think I'm gutsy enough for a matte, full coverage one...I will have to check out the Sephora one.
You look GORGEOUS! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm literally swooning over those shoes... So adorable.
A light coral/peach/pink lipstick I can recommend you to have a look at is MAC Shy Girl. It would look gorgeous on you!
Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog :)
