Chinese Beauties

Dress/Jumper - China <3 but eBay, link HERE 

Belt - Vintage

Lace Bralette - Calvin Klein 

Shoes - Boohoo

Earrings - Spanish Markets

Necklace - 18th bday pres, will find out and get back to you

Clutch - Fiorelli

Hair Donut  - Primark

Seeing as all of my outfits are daytime and casual, I thought I would spice it up a bit and do an evening look. No not quite black tie, but I can't say that's a look many people ever need to wear. So this beauty only £5.95 from Chinese eBay including postage?!?!?! is so so comfy, possibly greatest buy ever? 

The best part about buying random stuff from Chinese eBay is that even if it looks awful, at the end of the day it probably only cost £5 and you can sell it on Depop for £20... Not that I do that.

My depop is here btw, check me out.

Boohoo have the most brilliant collection of heels for very reasonable prices, these despite being 6.5 inches are extremely comfortable, not that I can walk in them but whatever. They look good.

This necklace is the sweetest thing, my mum's best friend got it for me for my 18th last September and it is just beautiful. Do you remember when we were little and we all bought those quartz stones - like this

Well the necklace is simply one of those spray painted gold on a long chain, and it is soooo pretty. I know you aren't meant to mix silver and gold jewellery, but my gold version of the earrings I am wearing have lost 1 earring, so alas.. stuck with silver.

Safe my lovelies

Birkenstocks Are Back, And They're Flatforms

Dungarees - River Island

Croptop - BDG

Choker - eBay 

Other Necklace - Birth present... (In other words, I don't know)

Scrunchie - DIY OBVIOUSLY - here's how I made it CLICK THIS

Platform Birks - Truffles

HOLA EVERYBADY I AM OFFICIALLY BACK! But sadly not black. 

(white girl problems of slow tanning)

Oh, how much I have missed you all! 

This is pretty much the exact outfit I wore on the plane to Amsterdam to start off my UNBELIEVABLE month travelling, which I shall post about very soon. I had been searching for dungaree's for absolutely bloody ages, ebay, topshop, asos etc but I didn't want rip-off Levi's so I thought I would wait to visit Bricklane/Camden/Shoreditch etc to go buy a second hand pair and in the meantime I bought these.  They're sort of silky, so actually really light to wear in summer, but teamed with a thick knitted jumper I can definitely carry these through to Autumn Winter, oh the variety. Very good purchase.

Flares r fab.

I am aware of the hypocritical nature of me buying these shoes following on from my early post called 'Ugly Shoe Obsession'  BUT I am retracting my earlier statement of hate towards birkenstocks, cos I love them.

These were a fab £18.99 including postage, unlike the exact replica that Jeffrey Campbell do for about £1000, the platform works in my favour as I have little legs, and well... white is great.

SO I know the above OOTD formerly introduced you to these new babies, but here they are. Up close and personal. Teamed with my favourite skort from Primark (I KNOW) and a present from my babes Sarah, from some random company, the label says BDG but I don't know what that means, or where that's from.

So there you go, 2 OOTD's in 1, you lucky people.

Because I have so many un-written posts, I will probably be blogging most days for the next few weeks, including posts about my trip and a few OOTD's from when I was away, so don't worry. You will be seeing much more of me very soon 

PEACE

C U SOON

Dressing For The Flag

Maxi Dress - TK Maxx

Heels - Primark

Belt - No idea

Lip liner - Rimmel London

Lipstick - Mac 'Russian Red'

Earings - I want to say St Albans Market, but I can't actually remember

If you are wondering what 'OOTD' stands for, it means 'Outfit Of The Day' (just in case)
A little while ago I bought this cute maxi from TK Maxx and I think it's the perfect balance between daywear and nightwear, swapping in a pair of trainers and a fedora for big earings and a pair of heels. As the bottom of the dress is slit up the sides it can be easily tied up to make it 'beachy' and therefore casual, or left long and floaty, hence 'nightwear.'
And no.. I don't mean nightwear in the sense of what one wears to bed, because (just a guess here) but I don't know any 18 year olds who sleep in floor length dresses.

Don't actually have much to say about this, as its just a very simple outfit. Obviously featuring plaits, how else would I tame my hair and red lipstick just to bring it together. Ah...I am the colours of the British flag, how appropriate following their recent success in the world cup. 

As always, ta for reading, following, sharing

means a lot, be back soon!

How To - Winged Eyeliner Cheat

So this is just a bit of a quickie tutorial post...
Thought I'd share my ja'mazing cheat on how to get matching winged eyeliner. I also am a victim of the un-matching flicks, where the first one you do will seriously bang and then you just can't match the other and it turns into one big mess of Amy Winehouse eyes. 
So to avoid that tragedy, I have made up this extremely easy way to sort it, or at least I think I've made it up but whatever.
In advance, I did not sort my face for this, so excuse eyebrows and dark circles. It's exam period and I am allowed to look gross.


WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

• Eyeliner - any type, kohl, gel, pen liner etc
• post it notes or sellotape, or if you have micro-tape that will work perfectly
• your face

So, these are the two eyeliners I own; the first, obviously clinque, is a gel liner in dark brown and an angle brow brush for application, you can also use a bent liner brush but I find this quicker. Oh and top tip, it helps if you dampen the brush beforehand so you can get a clean line (something I may or may not have learnt from the film Burlesque) The second liner is a Topshop black felt tip style liner, and I find these are the easiest type to use.

Next you will need an individual post-it note, tear away around the blue line, the smaller it is, the easier it is to fit where you want the flick against your eye.



Then, place the post-it  note in line with your lower lash line, but underneath all your eyelashes and at the slant you want the flick. This is so when you open your eye the post-it doesn't pull half of your eyelashes out, and speaking from experience here, it is an uncomfortable process.

Basically, you just trace your upper lash line following out along the paper as far as you want to go. I'm
gunna say leave it for a few seconds, probably for about 10 just to let the liner dry. These pictures were before I decided to rip the post-it smaller and as you can see it was causing mass aggravation.

There we go, I saw the error of my ways and made the post-it small and cute, much easier.

Don't worry too much if that turns out a little messy, that bit doesn't show up. And if it does wrap a pencil end in a make up wipe or whatever and neaten it up.

Final step, after a few seconds, peel off the post-it (slowly) and Voila! 

Perfect flicks everytime!

You are so welcome xo
