cabin fever

I am so bored! I normally love lazy Sundays but I've been awake since 8 so I've run out of things to do, grr! One of the things I've kept myself busy with today was scrapbooking..

I won't include photos of every page of my scrapbook because that would make for one seriously picture heavy post.

The front of my scrapbook is dedicated to clothes and the back is for accessories but so far I've only stuck shoes in..

I'm still on the look out for another scrapbook for hair & make-up and another for interior design type things, but it's surprisingly hard to find a book with plain paper (rather than lined paper). Feel free to let me know if you come across any! Do you have any scrapbooks?

Hope you've all had a good weekend!

P.S. the nail varnish I have on in the pictures is Barry M Mint Green but it looks quite different in real life.

she's in a family full of eccentrics

Happy Friday, people! It doesn't feel like a Friday though, does it? Got any plans for the weekend?

I had to go into Cardiff for a meeting today; ooh, get me ha. It sounds impressive but basically we just go into the office, drink coffee and have a catch up. The volunteer co-ordinator (this really lovely woman called Laura) said she's going to rope in me & my friend to build up some office skills throughout the summer, it's just something to do really since we both seem so incapable of getting jobs :( it'll look good on our CVs though! All in all, it's been a nice day.

Anyway, I'm off to drink seriously unhealthy amounts of Coke

and spend the night in front of the telly;

Living the dream!

wishlist wednesday on a thursday

I actually started this post yesterday but my boyfriend turned up unannounced & I accidentally deleted it, grr.

1. Said boyfriend brought back my favourite perfume (Paco Rabanne Lady Million FYI) when he went on holiday but I'd still like a new, fresh, summery scent. Any suggestions?

2. I really want some Nubar polishes as I haven't invested in them yet. They're available from this website for about £8. Feels like I haven't had a new nail varnish in ages! Any collections I should check out?

3. I'm still lusting after Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes mascara. It looks brilliant in the adverts and it has good reviews on Boots. The only problem is that I don't feel I can justify spending about £20 on mascara when I should be saving for uni, boo!

4. This bag, £35 from Asos. Cute, yes?

5. A fair few things off Nasty Gal. I've seen it advertised on loads of blogs and eventually clicked on it the other day, I probably would've earlier but the name of it put me off hah. Sadly, most things are too expensive for me at the moment and shipping is also rather expensive *pouts*. This may be a job for Ebay!

saturdayyy

t-shirt: next

cardigan: "borrowed" from my mother. 2 years ago.

jeans: asos.

bag & ring: next

1. Just a casual outfit for going to Tesco & visiting my Nan. She's so funny, today she asked me to pick out a man for her from the nursing home hah!

2. I'm getting really annoyed with people saying "I can't believe Amy Winehouse is dead." I know it's sad and everything but if it's because of drugs then it's not all that unexpected. Also I think the people in Norway deserve far more sympathy than her.

3. My collarbone looks really weird in the pictures.

Anyone got any plans for the weekend?

"Would you rather" tag.

My first blog tag! Taken from frugalspender19 :)

1. Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lip glosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?

Palettes and eyeshadows, I don't really use them much anyway.

2. Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?
Hm, as much as I love my long hair I think I'd chop it all off. I could wear wigs at first and then experiment with short hair :).

3. Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?
Pink, I think coral cheeks work better on people with olive skintone and I'm just too pale.

4. If you had £1,000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?
I'd split it but probably end up spending more on clothes.

5. Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner or eyeliner as lipstick?
Hm, I'm not sure. Lipstick as eyeliner could work with the right blush, but eyeliner as lipstick would be more understandable since people fill in their lips with lipliner anyway. I think I'll go for eyeliner as lipstick:).

6. Would you rather only shop Mac or Sephora?
Sephora, more variety.

7. Would you rather use only one eyeshadow color or one lip color for the rest of your life?
One eyeshadow. I don't really vary my eye make-up very much so I'd just pick a black eyeshadow so I could have a permanent smokey eye and just change the intensity depending on the occasion.

8. Would you rather wear winter clothes in the summer or summer clothes in the winter?
Winter clothes in the summer! I prefer winter clothes and since we don't really have much of a summer in Britain it wouldn't be too hard ha.

9. Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?
Ooh that's a tricky one, I change my nail varnish way too often! Probably dark though.

10. Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a pony tail or a messy bun?
A messy bun, no question about it!

11. Would you rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lip gloss.
Never use lipgloss.

12. Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in every day?
Haha, what a question. Suppose I'd sharpie them in!

13. Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?

Argh, without nail polish if I absolutely had to.

wishlist wednesday

My h&m A/W catalogue turned up yesterday morning so I won't bore you with the amount of stuff I want from there - there really is a lot of stuff. The catalogue and the weather has really made me lust after lots of winter items, including:

1. This jumper, £35 from Asos. Though if I did buy it, I'd get it in a few sizes up.

2. This one, £66 from American Apparel at Asos. Love.

3. I also really want Peter Pan collars that I can attach to various things. Asos have a few but they cost £15 and I'm not sure I want to pay that much for them :/ But I suppose I could wear them with so many different things so that may justify it a bit.

On another note, have you heard Beyonce's supposed to be in a remake of A Star Is Born? I'm really not sure what to make of it, she doesn't seem all that suitable for the role but it could actually be a really smart move. But there's already THREE versions of this film, why make another?!

superstar, where y' from, how's it going?

My nails are based on this post from Beauty By Kayla Shevonne. Now obviously I'm nowhere near as good as she is so my nails are far worse but I don't think I did too bad for a first attempt.

.

I used different colours to Kayla because I didn't have a white polish good enough for the base. The base is OPI Pearl Of Wisdom, the cobalt blue is Blue My Mind by H&M and the turquoise colour is For Audrey by China Glaze, one of my all time favourite polishes. Then I used a Models Own top coat. The colours Kayla used are so much better than the ones I used, and I also forgot to do the little spots, but it still looks alright, ish haha.
