back with a twist

Hi there lovelies! Still got a few followers on this old thing so instead of creating an entire new blog to start over, plus I'm still very much in to my fashion and outfit posts so there will definitely be a few of them kicking around here, but I am definitely going to change the focus of this blog a wee bit.

Basically I wan to direct this more towards nail art, I have always been a keen nail artist with various leopard prints and colours and other variables! But I wanted to make this purely about that, to help me out with designs and hopefully things for the terrifying concept of my future, lame but teehee! But also for you guys, ideas and all that, and I love networking with other bloggers and our cute sites are always great to browse!

For now I shall leave you with some of my recent works, and then hope to get on to regular posting after this week of torturous exams and assessments! Happy New Year!

galaxy tee: missguided

wet look leggings: internacionale

high tops: primark

This is a bit of a lazy day outfit at the moment, but it's cute enough right? This galaxy print is doing it for me at the moment as well! It's beautiful, lazy but still something about it. Plus the leggings are BEYOND comfortable, comfortable is a vast understatement. 

And the cutest shoes, can't be affording converses at the moment so these are a great sub! And at only £7 who's complaining? NOT ME.

How cute are my nails also? You may all be surprised to learn that these are cheap stick-on nails from ....wait for it... PRIMARK. £1, with glue included! The glue is durable as well, I never expect much from cheap glue, but it's been 4 days of wearing them now, and none of them are even loose, so I'm very pleased. There were plenty of other patterns to choose from too, all really cute! I'm too lazy to do my own nail art at the moment as well, plus I left all my nail equipment in London, so this was a happy alternative!

1 week left at home for Easter, and I'm having a lovely time at home having a break, although I'm not really having a break I have 6 essays to do, filming on Wednesday and Thursday so I'm learning lines, catching up on voice journals, singing journals, acting journals, dance journals, stage combat journals, honestly it's never ending at the moment! But I'm getting on top of everything, slowly but surely. 

I'm sure everyone's having a lovely Easter, although most people have returned to studies now! Seems to be just LCM that can't organise an Easter break that actually included Easter Sunday.. We had the long weekend, 4 days of study THEN our 2 week Easter break... perfectly normal, right? No.

~ and i will hold you even though you're slightly mad.

hat: h&m

crop top: eBay, similar here (and only £2.99!)

shorts: missguided

denim jacket(old): oasis

Cheeky bit of denim on denim going on here, but we must all break some rules at some point, and here I regret nothing! Now, I know the shown crop top was not £2.99, but this is my friends which she purchased off of eBay, so while looking for my own to buy, I saw how cheap they can be! A lackin' in £££ at the moment though, so I'm waiting for the funds to purchase a few and probably in a few different colours too, they are so cute! 

These shorts have also become a staple in most outfits I wear, they are so flattering and I never have to worry about them, I used to have a pair similar but they'd always roll up and I'd have to fiddle with them constantly, not these! Honestly, if they're still on the website I recommend them if you are looking for a decent pair of hotpants, they are a dream.

The hat was a godsend, not even an exaggeration, I have a VERY large head. I imagine some of you chuckled whilst reading that, most people do, but seriously, I have a larger head than my Dad and my brother, a normal woman has a head circumference of around 52/3cm, mine is 58.5cm. Yes it's LARGE, and I'd been looking for a cute little hat for a very long time, trawling through endless high street shops, charity shops, eBay, online. But every one was either a one size, or the largest one was 55cm. But I am forever thankful to h&m, who's largest hat size is 58cm, hallelujah, and it fits perfectly!

The denim jacket is SO old, I got it 18+ months ago when working the Christmas sales at Oasis, was only £20 - staff discount. I don't know if it'll be around anywhere, but the style is still around everywhere!

In regards to life at the moment, I did a bit of an eBay haul today! There are a few bits up on my account which is here but as I've got a new account I can only put up 10 items for auction per month, ANGER! But I'm relying on Mumma Perrin to allow me her account, which is a older one and has no monthly limit like these fancy new ones.

~ but that would have been too kind.

Jeez, the most au naturale post EVER going on right here. Hey ho, I needed to do a post but I forgot about it until after the nightly beauty regime, you'll get over it I'm sure. This is literally my new favourite thing, the open-knit jumper! So easy to wear, and it's lovely and over-sized, I do love that trait in jumpers. It's slighlty dip-hemmed too, which is a nice touch to the jumper. I've been wearing it loads and it looks really sweet when my hair is in it's signature messy/disheveled bun. 

I've invested in the Sensationail Gel Nails kit, instead of forking out 299 quid for a CND course, I saw this in Boots for a mere £69.99, which is still steep, but it comes with everything you need including the LED lamp and a colour of nail polish! I've been using it non-stop since I got it just after my birthday, even giving out manicures to friends (I'm hoping to use this as a small way of making money up in London, probably a fiver per manicure, and in London that's an absolute steal, but I need more practice on people who won't moan if I mess up! Thank god for friends and family) I tried it out first on my beautiful best friend Danielle, and bless her she had a little stumpy thumb nail at the time, so it was good practice actually! Here's the finished result (plus some little polka-dot nail art, as I am quite the sucker for it)

(grubbiest table ever, officially my "nail table")

Had quite a lot of fun doing this haha! A few mishaps, but it was my first time, bless me. But it was fun, and I plan to keep doing it up there, so hopefully I can get a few extra pennies by just doing flatmates or coursemates nails to start with, then they can tell friends of friends etc, I can hope!

It's now only 4 days until moving day, I've just had a quick check of my blog and I don't think I've mentioned that I've managed to transfer my job up to London! But I'm transferring to the Warehouse in the White City/Westfield shopping centre! As they're both within Aurora Fashions it's really easy to transfer. I kind of knew where the shopping centre was, but I'd never taken a look at it before, but me and my parents spent most of this evening trolling through the site and all the stores, OH MY GOODNESS, it's absolutely massive! I'm genuinely in disbelief! It's giant, and the Warehouse store is really big too! I've got my interview/chat on Saturday, really looking forward to that!

It's all happening so quickly now! Eek.

~ he was supposed to love me.

| playsuit(size 8): missguided | "chunkster" shoes: new look |

This was the playsuit I wore out Saturday night! Totally didn't have time to do an outfit post on the day for this beauty, but it's here now! And I wore my KILLER "chunksters" which I am in love with, instant stick thin legs with these, joy! 

The playsuit is so pretty, the lace detail is right up my street, classy and elegant, and yet it's got the cheekiest shorts ever! Best of both worlds. The only bad thing is the belt, I love it, but it's naff, it came undone every couple of minutes, so I had to paperclip it together, but aside from that it's pretty great.

Great outfit = Great night out! That's how it works, right?

~ I'm always in this twilight.

So sorry! I know I promised birthday outfit posts, but alas my weekend was JAM PACKED, and rightly so! It was incredible! My birthday was such a lovely day and with it being payday as well I spent quite a lot of time online shopping, hehe. I got so many lovely things, my gorgeous best friend Danielle got me 18 presents for my 18th birthday, including a little package with a note saying "the one you have loose" and I opened it, it was a screw, the screw I have loose, she thinks she's funny. Along with a lot of leopard print things, ahh she knows me so well. I had a fabulous party too, lots of lovely people and was lovely to see them all again before I leave. It's not the greatest picture, and as you can tell I'm royally sloshed by this point of the evening, but this was my outfit!

Little aqua/turquoise mini dress, loved it! And then I went out last night as well, I'm probably going to do a quick post on that one tomorrow, as it's a Missguided playsuit it's incredible! Really cheeky shorts, but hey ho I do not care! I'll try and be more regular with posting from now on, been such a mental weekend. But thanks to those who wished me a happy birthday too, means a lot!

~ we were barely seventeen.

Just a quick PRE-BIRTHDAY POST! I'm too excited to sleep and have drained every other entertainment resource available to me, pretty much. So I took au naturaaaaal pictures and decided to do a weirdly un-fashion related blog post to pass the time, an hour and 9 minutes, totally not counting... Now an hour and 8.

It's been an especially long wait for this day for me! My best friend was 18 last March and has been waiting patiently for me for 17 months to turn the big 1 8! Most of my pals have been 18 for a considerable amount of time as well, so while they've all been going "Yeah let's hit Oceana tonight" I've been replying "Oh cool, have fun guys, I'll just watch Bargain Hunt." literally.. That is no word of a lie..

I'll most definitely do an outfit post with the full ensemble tomorrow! I'm getting my make-up done at Smashbox tomorrow (for free I might add, woop woop) So I'll definitely be telling you how that was tomorrow, and you'll see the finish results. And I found the PERFECT nail varnish for my dress, literally a perfect match, thankfully! Oh well, you'll all see it tomorrow, how good the blog posts will be I have no idea because I plan to drink most of the day tomorrow, I'm 18. Deal with it.
