Right, i've been a bit slack with this blog, so it's time to get it into shape.
In&Out of this present time...
In
Christmas- dur.. one of my favourite times of the year, everywhere's gleaming with lights and glitter, its near to my birthday and its time for the christmas fooood (yum). We put our Christmas tree up the other day and everything's looking wonderfully festive- can't believe i still haven't written a list yet, eeep
Lush- Before i started watching youtube vids or reading blogs i never thought much of Lush, but after a visit a few months ago, i'm obsessed! At the moment I am loving all the sweet, sugary scents like the Snow Fairy Shower Gel and the Candy Cane bubble bar. I recommend you try these if you haven't- they.are.amazing!
Woolies- Headbands, scarfs, gloves, hats, jumpers, tights, dresses, you name it i'm wearing it. It's just the right weather for cosy-ing up in some plush wooly layers, very on trend at the moment but I'm trying to mix it up and not make it look copycat by incorporating it into the rest of my wardobe and going for neutral, non-patterned pieces.
Gossip Girl- I can't quite put my finger on what makes it so good, perhaps the unbelievably gorgeous cast, fabulous outfits, juicy story lines or the lifestyle to die for. Or maybe just Chuck Bass yum. I cannot get enough of this NYC drama, maybe box set is going on the xmas list :L xoxo
Taylor Swift- I've never been one for Country music and i have to say i never really liked her first album that much, but the latest tun-age from the state-side star is nothing short of genius. Not to mention that she is undeniable beautiful- i mean perfect hair or what? I love the way she makes no bones about who she's singing about, 'Dear John'- a message for a certain Mr Mayer? And the absolute beaut 'Better than Revenge' with a nod towards Camille Belle. Love it!
Outs
Being Cold- I see people at college and around town wearing leggings, short sleeves, cardis. Aren't you people cold? I, for one, am quite over looking fashionable if it means perishing in this artic weather we're having at the moment. Shove on a coat, its not that bad and you won't get hypothermia
Eye Liner In The Waterline- Whenever i wear this during the day it always looks uneven, then it smudges and by 3.00pm i have this manky gunk in the corner of my eye (sorry gross i know). Can't be doing with it- top lid only at the moment.
Dry Skin- This should be an out! As much moisturiser i slap on, i've still got dry patches on my face, and they don't look too pleasant. I am holding the weather to blame as i would hate to think my trusty Simple isn't doing its job :( Any suggestions for combating the flakiness?
Exams- Come January i've got six in one week, with a full weekend of work before. Are you being serious? Byebye Xmas break and let the revision commence!
Whats getting you up and down at the moment? xx
love this blog! you're such a good writer! :)
ReplyDeleteim hating the coldness too - seeing people round town in shorts and little jackets - and im there in jeans, boots, scarf, hat, coat...! I dont know how anyone can go without.
the dry-skin is a big issue. I read a blog the other day who raved about E45 for dry skin, so i might try that...? If you find any solutions pleasee let me know!
Once again, great blog :)
