Patterned skirts & Smudgy eyes



Excuse the heavy eye make-up in these photos, I was playing around with a blue & brown smoky eye which turned out really intense yet flattering, is an interesting change to the black/grey smoky eye that tends to wash me out and is SUPER simple - only 3 steps! Who said blue and brown don't go together?!

1. Dot and blend a brown cream shadow across your lid - I used my MAC fluidline in Dipdown but a paint pot would definitely be more ideal!
2. Smudge a metallic dark blue eyeshadow along upper and lower lashes - I used the one from the Sleek makeup Storm palette.
3. Add mascara - I used Benefit's Bad Gal lash.


So, I wore this to buy ice cream from my local newsagents before the weather turned HORRIBLE... I know I lead a rock star life.

The weather was that weird in-between temperature where it was no longer hot but it hadn't cooled down yet (it has now!!), which explains the long sleeves & bare legs combination. I love this top and am kicking myself for not buying more in different colours! It's a slouchy button down cropped top from Topshop, which I'm actually wearing backwards, hence why the cropped bit is at the back. The Cotton On skirt is a little loose on me so I hoisted it up with a leather belt from Uniqlo. And the clogs are Topshop, of course.

What does everyone have planned for the month of June?

Love,

London town.

Today marks the beginning of my week of killer exams. Sorry, I know thats all I talk about but its literally all I have time to think about. I had my second one today in Westminster central hall, which is right next to Westminster Abbey. It's usually quite nice to be able to see that area, even if its for exams (sad face) but not today.....

........ Why? Well, this morning, there was a huge Tamil protest going on in response to the humantiarian crisis in Sri Lanka on Parliament Square. Sounds fine but it meant that there were police cars everywhere and people getting arrested for breaking through police barriers so not only was it quite scary but it also meant that I had to literally sprint round the longest route possible with a heavy bag and arrive panting and sweating at my exam :( With no time to gather my thoughts, I think I rushed the paper a little bit. Oh well, that's the stress of London for you!

Sorry for all the moaning, I'll stop now! :) Here's what I wore today. 


-------------
Sunglasses - Vintage
Shirt - Kirsty
Dress - Topshop (This is literally become my staple piece - its like an AA dress)
Leggings - New Look
Boots - Dr Martens (I'm obsessed with all of my pairs of Docs. They're amazingly comfortable, not as clunky as the 8-holes/etc and look pretty rad... I think!)

------------------------

Now I literally have to start last-minute revision for my wednesday exam.  Thank you so much for continuing to drop by and put a smile on my face with your comments! It makes this exam existence so much less lonely :). MWAH xx

And thank you for the comforting words about my denim shorts!! I am such a silly billy :) Too attached to my clothes. I've decided the first thing I'm going to do when I get back home is visit all the charity shops in my area to find a replacement!

Hippy hippy shake

Flared eva jeans from the Topshop sale :) 

Worn with creepers, Kirsty's scarf and a Kate Moss for Topshop tank top (the only redeeming feature of her collections so far, in my opinion!). I wore this with.... my pink leather jacket. OTT? Hahaha.

Lovvvvvve this scarf. It is as long and drapey as promised!

Swish swish :)
Have to get back to revision/watching BBC iPlayer now! 
Will answer comments when the bulk of exams are done on the 17th. Thank you for all your lovely lovely comments you guys are literally getting me through this stressful period :)

Daisychain goodies

I looooove getting presents in the mail :) 
Laura's edible competition prize came in the post a few days ago..... along with a gorgeous necklace!!!! (Which I matched my eyeshadow to... ahem, procrastination)

I absolutely adore the huge pendant and the delicate gold chain which is exactly the right length (don't you hate it when they're too long or short?). You can't really see that well in my crappy pictures but the round dark brown bits are actually wooden! So rustic. Here I am clutching my goodies like a 10 yr old and looking at the sweet card she sent with it.

Yup...... I already ate one in my exam this morning haha. Always comforting to have a sweet treat before 3 and a half hours of mad essay writing!

I'll be behind on comments for a while :( Life-defining exams continue next week on monday, tuesday and friday. Thank you for your comments on the last post, doing those jumping shots was so much fun!

PS. I cannot stop watching this video. Noot has the best wardrobe ever.
