Wedding Guest - Outfit inspiration!

Hiya!

Summer is traditionally known as the wedding season, chances are that you are invited to reception or dinner. This is the perfect excuse to spoil yourself with a brand new outfit!


I have to go to a wedding myself so I composed some outfits to get you inspired!


You can never go wrong with a pretty cocktail dress for a wedding. Practically every brands has some cocktail dresses in their collection, there's no need to spend hundreds of euros, even H&M already has very pretty dresses! Finish it off with pumps or sandals and a blazer and you're done!

Outfit:
- Cream cocktail dress with ruffle skirt: Vila - €54,95 (Zalando.be)
- Blue & silver sandals with high heel: Victoria Delef -  €69,95 (Zalando.be)
- Yellow blazer: Zara - €49,95 


A long gown is mostly required when going to a more upperclass wedding and are more expensive. Make sure the dress is tailored to your body, you don't want it to be too long or short! Combine it with a stylish clutch and high, high heels!

Outfit
- Yellow evening dress with crystal details: Unique - €279,95 (Zalando.be)
- Golden clutch: Michael Kors - €424,95 (Zalando.be)
- Golden high heels: Guess - €174,95 (Zalando.be


Some people want an over-the-top wedding with crystals and glitter everywhere! These dresses are a bit more difficult to find but hooray for online shopping! If you get a wild card for your outfit, take your chance and go crazy with tule, rhinestones and ruffles!

My Favourite YouTube Tutorials

Hi guys!

I love YouTube vloggers and videos, I follow a bunch of people and once a week I take some time to watch their videos and vlogs. Today I want to share my favourite YT tutorials from different topics: work-out, make-up, hair,... Curious? Then start scrolling! :)

Work-Out
I don't go to a gym or a club to exercise, I do it at home with YouTube. There is one girl who I love: Blogilates. She has a massive amount of work out videos on her account, both for beginners and advanced people. My favourite session is the "Muffintop Massacre". It's hard, but so effective!
Check out her channel here, she has exercises for every problem area you can imagine, just spread out your yogamat in front of your laptop and let's go! Oh, and she always encourages you ;)

 
Make-Up Tutorial - Smokey eyes
I don't watch as much make-up videos anymore then I did  2 years ago, these days I just try and experiment myself instead of following someone's instructions. However, the most tricky look for me is still Smokey Eyes. I've been trying this for so many years already and until today it never turned out the way I wanted.. YouTubers always claim they have an easy way of doing it, but it never is, so I just keep on  practicing :) The look I love most is the one below, I think it's so incredibly sexy and feminine, perfect for a special night out!


Make-Up Tutorial - Every day 
For my everyday make-up I mostly use the Benefit "Big Beautiful Eyes" palette, it has gorgeous nude and natural colours and really makes your eyes pop without using bright colours or complicated techniques. The kit comes with a step-by-step tutorial on paper, but I like it better when I can actually see it in a video. I used below tutorial in the beginning, I already know it inside out now so I don't watch it anymore, but if you a video on how to use Benefit's Big Beautiful Eyes, this is my top recommendation.


Make-Up Tutorial - Winged eyeliner
This is my personal nightmare.. Winged eyeliner. I love the look so much, but actually applying it is the worst. I never used any eyeliner because I have quite small eyes and I felt that eyeliner only made it worse. Now I know that it all depends on how you apply it, but it's still my weak spot. I fell in love with the winged eyeliner look the moment it emerged and I'm still working on it. I use various tutorials, but my most viewed one is from Beautygloss, a Dutch blogger.


Hair tutorial - Curls
I adore, adore, adore big, stylish curls, but my hair is very thin and if I make curls it looks fabulous for 30 mins and then my hair goes flat again.. At first I tried a curling iron, but that didn't really work, so then I switched to hot curlers, I have the Babyliss Hot Rollers, and I have the impression that they make my curls last longer. I always use below video when I'm putting the rollers in, it's a very basic, step-by-step explanation. I always use a lot of hairspray, but I don't like the shiny effect that gives, so if anyone has tips for making curls last the whole day, please let me know!


 There you have it! Hopefully the above vids will inspire you! What's your favourite YT tutorial? Please let me know, I'm always looking for interesting bloggers/vloggers :)
