Summer party style tips: daytime-soiree fresh!

Last week I gave you the first part of my double-ender on how to get glam for the party season.

This year I’m keeping it simple – it’s all about lipstick. Because I can’t tell you enough times how much I love lipstick!

I pulled out my top five lipsticks of the moment to show you (image above from left: L’Oreal Colour Riche Nude #235, Revlon Colour Burst Tutti Frutti #015, Mac Ruby Woo in matt. Revlon Super Lustrous Creme Fire & Ice #720; Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate #16).

And then I had a great idea to team them with some of my fav style edits for the party season.

I have so much on my lust list that they’re chock-a-block full of ideas. I even ended up having to bring you this post in two parts!!!

The final three of my five edits are especially for daytime soirees. When you need to stay summer-fresh and partylicious.
