Bed Head & My New Friend

Image
Hello loyal readers! I have to say, that I am really enjoying keeping this blog. Although that may come across as sarcastic, which is generally a problem when it comes to the weird world of words, especially in techie-land, where you can never be 100% sure how serious the sender of your message is being with out the context and aid of emoticons, what I am writing now may seem like it is slightly rehearsed or even bland. Yet this is far from the truth, I always write off the bat and usually in the company of some decent music (by my books) and my infallible research skills, as I don't like to say anything with out doing my homework first, to avoid humiliation for my inaccurate information later. I also do not condemn the grammar Nazis onslaught of correction, need be it. This morning I woke up, as I usually do (in fact, I don't think I've had a day in my life where I hadn't woken up eventually) and I felt a bit rough, unfortunately, I have been suffering migraines

Only Girls Will Understand...

Here are my uppermost niggling nuisances only a girl would understand! Excuse my sexism, there are points here valid for the male community also. Its for those minute details that impair every day life when you least expect it. First World Problems at their effeminate finest.  1. Period pains when you're not on your period... I suggest if this case persists, seek medical attention, however if its just an incident of over consumption of ice cream, then you only have yourself to answer for. Damn you, hormones! 2. Lip gloss is more trouble than it is worth. You are strolling down the street in your swag, with out a care in the world, and the wind is in your favour until, your hair flaps across your face and sticks unpleasantly to your mouth, giving the effect that you have just sellotaped your pout to a furry friend. 3. When you've spent what feels like years on your new set of false nails, and you unexpectedly do something vigorous and unavoidable later on in the day, only

My Make Up Routine!

Image
Previously I've been complimented on my make up skills, I think using colours that compliment your skin tone, eye colour and facial features is a positive practice, since my mother always said that, "A little powder can make you feel better on those  days!" You're horrendously hung-over, perhaps you had a restless nights sleep and those dark circles are making you feel more ghoulish than glamorous, do not fear, I am no 'expert' in the cosmetics department however, I do believe I have a way of disguising my blemishes and braving it into society when necessary! So with out further comment, I shall reveal the products I've been using lately, that won't break the bank...  For a fresh face I begin with a cleanser from LUSH . It is all natural ingredients, since I feel that abrasive soaps and face scrubs make my skin rough and dry, I have been getting on well with this alternative to the potent chemicals present in commercial washes.

Progressive Summer Looks

Image
My offbeat perching on  Market Square lead me to detect some nicely collaborated early summer looks. The high street is popping with new colours, patterns and the best characteristics from previous years, including waterfall cardigans and maxi dresses ! Here are my favourite picks...  I've chosen New Look to collaborate this outfit together, since I feel that it is in a happy-medium category; quality garments yet in the affordable range for the majority of shoppers. This crochet knit waterfall cardigan is lightweight and delicate , a perfect combo with any summer attire, since it is very easy to wear, as white remains to be a neutral colour especially in the sunshine! It does however come available in black as well, so depending on your style... it comes to £19.99 and is in store and online. I saw a lady wearing something very similar to this in city centre, although it did consist of a larger flower pattern. These red tones have a very romantic feel and as

Be Yourself

Of late, in my intrepid exploration through the vortex of fashion and beyond, I have discovered that as clichéd as it sounds, that less is in fact  more. I know it can be hard to believe, considering that I fancy myself as quite the merchandiser; over many years of trashy garment faux-pas, along with the expected disasters such as the hot pink combats and the tacky version of leopard print. There are certain ways of wearing leopard print, don't get me wrong, I'm not writing it off forever. I have recently downsized to a generous selection of what I consider to be staple fashion come-backs for 2015, which include kimonos, harem pants and embellishment. I managed to pick up some very delicate princess sandals, mint green with a small pointy heel, easier to walk in than they look I can assure you! I was shopping in Manchester with my mum and we always check out the charity shops as well since we like to fuel our money into good causes along with browsing the new lines and sal

ARK Promotion 2015

This pretty little number caught my eye in an email sent from  Ark's website . I get regular bulletins from the company to my inbox, so I thought I'd have a browse of the current seasons new lines. This is the Paisley print play-suit; a timeless bohemian apparel, worth investing in for any treasured wardrobe. I adore these shades because they're a stylish differentiation from the classic aviator. They are just the retro vibe every one wants to entertain. These frames are bold but not exceedingly flashy, yet still remain to be a hippie favourite, and debut themselves in the spring/summer attire. I have some similar ones from Camden Market in London. (£6) Something for back to college, popular with walkers and cyclists. Could be utilised as a gym sack, and suits the weather in white, as it will reflect the sunshine's strong rays keeping you cool. Quilted texture keeps it formal enough with out being too conventional. Back pack (£16)
