Wintery Clothing.
With all the weather we've been having here (aka lets not go above freezing for days) I have been struggling with choosing what to wear. So I filmed a little OOTD when I had an outfit I was kinda proud of :L

Winter Nailssss
I'm a bit nail polish-mad.
and on a slightly different subject I have been feeling extremely festive at the moment and cannot wait for christmas- 6 sleeps and counting :L
So it seems that these two loves of mine made for a Christmas/Winter themed nail painting seshh. Early this morning (not that 10.30 is that early :L) I though that I would put on my creative hat and try and make something pretty...well this is what I came up with.
It's supposed to be an icy-frosty kinda look, now I'm not a professional, nor do I claim to be any good at nail art- as you can tell. Apologies for the crappy quality, my camera doesn't zoom to well.
I firstly applied a base coat (from Claires) and I put on two layers to make it more opaque, then i applied a Dior glittery polish on top to make it shimmery, I also did this twice to make it really sparkly. Then I thought 'lets try something new' and added a blue tip which was an Eyeko nail polish. Then 2true top coat and Bob's your Uncle!
Here's the picture of the polish's, sorry its backwards i took them on my laptop :L
*Base Coat Ridge Filler Claires, Dior Addict Vernis 010, Eyeko Pastel Polish, 2true Topcoat*
Then it's just my luck that I go to get my choccy out of my advent calender and they smudge to pieces :(
Anyway, I might try again sometime this week, maybe a gold lux kinda thaang. We'll see.
Speak to yass soon, merry christmas xxx

In & Out...Number One :)
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
