After a week of being ill - started off with the sickness bug and when that subsided I then got smitted with what feels like the flu! Hasn't exactly been a week full of joy! Myself and Craig decided to head out for dinner on Saturday night as nothing was going to keep me down. Decided to stay local, the weather up here in Scotland hasn't exactly been fantastic over this last week and Saturday in particular was a constant shower of rain! So we opted for Benkaz restaurant.

I always think that when you aren't well, getting dressed can perk you up just that tiny little bit. I have a new found obsession with pencil skirts at the moment and decided to pop this black polka dot (polka dots are huge this season) on and go with a monochrome theme. Teamed with an oversized plain tee which I knotted at the front to add some dimension - voila! Casual and dressy all rolled into one. I sometimes find monochrome quite bland so to add a splash of colour I opted for a bright red bag and matching lippy!





For my face I used my Clarins Beauty Flash Balm, I recently purchased this after reading Anna's review and couldn't resist! To be fair, I have been eyeing it for a while but after reading this it confirmed my need for it! My lips were the big statement of the night with my Nars 'Red Square' Matte pencil which has fantastic staying power and just a wash of Maybelline's Colour Tattoo in 'Permanent Taupe' on the lids.


Hope you all had a great weekend!
