"Girls with glasses"

My t-shirt came and I absolutely love it. Perfectly soft and slouchy with a beautiful illustration by talented Danny Roberts of Igor and Andre. I adore how his style fuses so perfectly with fashion, making his drawings one of a kind - he has a bright future ahead of him :)

Yeah, I decided to go there with the sunglasses hahaha.



I've been in Oxford all week and it was sooo exciting to come back to a little heap of goodies (even if I did have to buy them myself). These semi-heeled canvas plimsolls were a recent 1p (yes, that's 1p) ebay purchase. I immediately fell on these with my bag of studs. My thumbs are all sore now! Should I do more?

Still looking for a swap/buyer for the "Shroom" MAC eyeshadow :) - see post below for details!

FOR SALE OR SWAP

FOR SALE/SWAP

I just bought the "Shroom" eyeshadow from MAC as I was taken in by its lovely champagne colour and versatility as a base/highlighter/shadow by itself. HOWEVER... I'm not sure if it's doing anything for me... it basically melts into my skin and doesn't even show up :( - I have not tanned/nor pale, asian skin with yellow undertones. Its a gorgeous beige/champagne sheer/shimmery colour and would complement almost all eyeshadows. Look up this colour on makeup alley and the rave reviews it has say it all..... it just doesn't work on me :(


Eye Shadow, Shroom
Shade description: Soft muted golden beige with opalescent shimmer (Satin)

Is anyone interested in buying/swapping it off me? I've only touched it with a clean eyeshadow brush as I only just bought it today (don't you just hate makeup purchases that you regret and can't return??!) and the surface is hardly broken and there are definitely no dips.

  • TO SELL: I bought it for £9.79 and will sell it for £8

  • TO SWAP: (I would prefer this): If you have ANY Mac eyeshadow that you are getting tired of pleeease consider doing a swap with me? I love MAC eyeshadows and will be happy to swap with any colour that isn't getting enough attention in your make up bag :) (providing I don't have it already!). I seriously don't mind if it's used, seeing as mine as in a "used" condition too - Just as long as there aren't serious dips in it, etc.
Leave a comment on the post below if interested (comments disabled for this post). I will definitely do international swaps too!

That description above is spot on but their colour swatch thing is a pretty bad representation of the colour. Let me take a few pictures of mine....

Drum my bass

I ache all over because of ONE night of clubbing... !

I am well on my way to sitting indoors on a friday night sipping hot chocolate in my rocking chair and thinking that the highlight of my weekend is watching Jonathan Ross. (Who am I kidding, I'm already there! Almost. Must purchase rocking chair.)

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

Whenever I go out clubbing, there are TWO things that are an absolute MUST:

  1. ALWAYS BRING FLATS. I do not understand people who do not do this and end up walking barefeet in the streets. Let's be realistic now, by the time 4am rolls around and you are craving a kebab, your feet are going to be hurting pretty badly. I can't stand seeing girls walking on rainy, dirty pavements, it's just disgusting. I mean, think about it - dogs shit on the street then they walk on it. Euchh.

  2. BRING A BIG BAG. One that can fit your spare pair of flats as well as a cardigan at least. In fact, if I'm being really organised, I take a huge bag with me and pack my clutch/etc inside it. When I get to the club, I put my coat/jumper/flats inside the big bag and check it in. Then I just take my clutch into the club and voila! Saves having to check in multiple items (I hate it when cloakroom attendants insist that a scarf is an extra pound....).
-----------

I studded my beanie. Thinking about putting more in... thoughts?


Beanie - H&M
Jumper - Ralph Lauren
Tights - Topshop
Shoes - New Look
Leather bag - Custom made (I wanted a Chloe Paddington without the lock)



PS. Yes, the weather is still cold enough to warrant a coat and beanie.
