Wedding Outfits: Boys & Girls

A few weekends back, James and I headed out to a wedding reception of some friends from school. The evening do was held in an old barn and courtyard complete with fire pit, cheese platters and a helluva lot of bunting.

The weather was really beautiful and we had a great time sneaking back and forth to our tent (yep, camping was our room for the night) to collect bottles of cider as if we were fifteen again. Call us cheapskates but we're currently saving towards going to New York in August (SO EXCITED) so cider stealthing was pretty essential.

Both myself and James love a good vintage outfit and you can really go to town at a wedding. James describes his look as Mumford & Sons meets Frank Sinatra (actually, I added the 'meets Frank' part) and mine is just classic cocktail dress meets box of Magners in shot.

James wore:

Shirt - Republic

Trousers - Matalan

Braces - H&M

Bow Tie - Debenhams

Brogues - Matalan

Hannah wore:

Halter Dress - Red Herring at Debenhams

Wedge Sandals - Primark

Red Lipstick - Stiletto by Sleek

Dinner Dance

Last weekend James' work held their annual dinner dance. With some last minute outfit buying under our (James') belt we trundled off down the M5 until we reached the Imperial Hotel in Torquay. After arriving and assessing what freebies could be nabbed we headed to the bar to watch the six nations.

The view from the hotel's lounge was quite something to behold. Imagine more of a 180 view like this, all you could see was sea.

We spruced ourselves up and headed downstairs with eager tummies. A well stocked table spelt our downfall for the next morning but our winning moves on the dancefloor.

The food was nothing really to write home about unfortunately but by profiteroles o'clock all I could taste was Zinfandel anyway.

Definitely not sneaking off with the complimentary wine... It would go to waste otherwise!

I wore this LBD I found on sale at ASOS last summer. I should have got a picture from the back because it has really nice back detail. The gold metal belt is also ASOS, bag is from Accessorize and the heels are Primark. A triumph of an outfit as far as bargains are concerned, I don't think it adds up to any more than £80.

Necklace - Primark

 After falling in love with Emma Stone in Gangster Squad, I went with vintage hair and make up. Lipstick is Stiletto by Sleek which I'm nearly out of, couldn't recommend it enough.
