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

Mom Jeans and a Bandana

Mom Jeans - Topshop - here

Cami - H&M

Socks - Lamoda - here

Trainers - Reebok Classics

Earings - Market in Spain

Bandana - No idea

Belt - Ditto above

Scrunchie - DIY

Went a bit wild on the editing here, but this is my everyday styling of my Mom Jeans. And here I am... sat on my roof, everyday things. You cant really go wrong with a plain black cami, if i had a plain black leotard I would probably wear that instead but either work. I've found with these sorts of jeans, that the most flattering way to wear them is to wear a plain tight top tucked in, anything loose makes you look bigger and although crop tops sort of work, they would possibly look much better on a much taller, skinnier girl. 

These socks are so pretty, and probably the most feminine bit of the outfit, only £1 from La Moda! But I am almost certain you can get them from ebay for the same price. I actually added the lace hem myself, but that's also personal preference. The combination of baggy jeans and fishnets is one I am a big fan of, especially if the jeans are ripped, and I am currently on the look out for a pair like that. I know Topshop do this a pair of boyfriend style jeans (here) but they aren't high waisted enough for me, so if you are aware of any pairs like that Topshop pair comment on this post with a link and I shall love you forever.

Hair-wise, I wear french plaits basically everyday as it's a skill I can do on myself and as a curly haired girl its an amazing way to tame the beast on top of my head. My hair was actually just washed which is why it looks wet, don't judge, that isn't grease! The bandanna was more a fun way to spice up my plaits, not sure if I can actually pull it off, so might just leave that for the blog post. I feel like Lizzie's cousins, (if you know you know)

Oh, and If I am able to set it up, I will post a tutorial on how to 'French Plait' your own hair as its something I have been asked for, I just haven't worked out how to do it yet. (so stay peeled for that.)

Hope you enjoyed this, ta ra!

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
