#Summer Garden Party

Summer is hopefully definately on its way now, this beautiful sun had better last a few weeks and warm up!  Our Student Union have anounced a garden party for the beggining of June,  so being a typical gal, i've already started eyeing up a few dress online.. i've been addicted to ASOS atm, im finding everything i see i fall in love with. its not great when your bank balance isnt at it's healthiest right now. ooops!

But these are a few of the dresses which really caught my eye and the lime green Love Dress with a wrap front is definatley top of my wish list!

so its been a week already since i arrived home from uni.  its insane how quickly time is going, i have 3 weeks left and will be going back before we know it.  as much as i am enjoying having my food cooked for me, my clothes washed etc, i miss uni so so so much!  i am suprisingly not enjoying having no work to do this holiday,  i am so wired to having a constant work load my brain doesn't function having a life and free time very well.  I've been doodling here and there but spent most of my time lusting over clothes that i cant buy :( sucks balls that! but i did treat myself with 25% ASOS earlier this week. who wouldn't..

with online shopping and other forms of media and TV advertising you can't help notice the huge hype over the 90's right now! lets face it The Big Reunion is everyones guilty pleasure, 5ive, Blue, Atomic Kitten, BEWITCHED!! I am loving the return of double denim and dungarees, definitely a true 90's kid me.



i've always had a bit of an obsession with floral prints, but im absolutely obsessing over these floral pants!  i think theyre totally gorge!  also the vintage denim culottes are the cutest trousers i have seen in ages,  there just so fun and now!  the Fashion Photography course were asked to find an image that they wish they had taken which they had to present and explain why.  i had never thought of looking at clothing and designers in this way, i think it really helps you appreciate who/what you want to be.

whilst lusting over all of these gorgeous clothes i treated myself to this gorgeous shirt..



i personally love the print in this and the colour is gorgeous, but im sure my friends will think differently!  im hoping it will come monday morning in time for me to go and see olly murs for the 6th time in concert Monday night.. fingers crossed!

Monet-esq nails :)

french white, rimmel 60 second, barryM in various colours, rimmel Pro, Models Own x2, & Elf.

When i came across Ugly Duckling's  blog, and found these nails, i couldn't help but try them out for myself! as much as i love them i didn't want to blatantly copying them.  so i put my my own little glitter obsessive twist on them ( like most other nails of mine... ) but still so simple too do!:) happy days.


hopefully this will be one of my better nail tutorials as i actually remembered to take some pictures as i went along this time, even if it was 1am this morning/last night?!  so enough of my babbling let me show you how to these Monet-esq nails :)

start with a double base coat of Mint Green BarryM Nail Paint. easy bit done :) then grab a make-up sponge and a pair of tweezers, got them ? simply rip off small sections of the make-up sponge with the tweezers, and keep it safe!  i used Models Own Fuzzy Peach, Rimmel Pro Pink and BarryM Lilac for the flowers.  so grab that little piece of sponge and dip it into your chosen nail paint, then simply dab rough circular shapes on you nails and allow to dry.  repeat this on all of your claws until you get your desired pattern :) i added a little bit of shading with darker toned polishes using the same effect but smaller sponge :) then comes the fun bit, sparkleees :)  same technique but with a green glitter polish, if you haven't got a glitter a matte polish will work just as well! even more reason for the last coat of glitter if you haven't used a glitter green, to add that extra sparkle!:) and bobs your teapot, you've got Monet inspired nails, what do you think ?

Boohoo Dress Review

my impulse buy paid off!! i'm totally in love with this dress, its perfect :)  it arrived last week but only now i've got round to posting about it.  this dress is perfect for summer and lazy days at the beach.  just thinking about it gets me excited for my holiday!! eeek:)  the dress is just a light floral cotton with cute buttons up the centre.  i choose to leave the top two buttons undone as having them done up isn't the most flattering on me :)   it is a little short,  but when you laying by the pool or beach all day, i don't think anyone really cares.  enough of my babbling, anyone seen any nice summer dresses on the highstreet?

Summer Excitment..

i mentioned in yesterdays post about looking for my summer wardrobe already.  so seems as this weekend i've been a total slob, i thought i would have a browse on-line at clothes i cant afford :(  any how, i just came across this day dress from boohoo.  its just soo pretty!  perfect for summer nights abroad and day trips back home.  for £20 i think i might have to suffer for a couple of weeks and invest.  i must have it!!  im such a floral person, im sure about 70% of my wardrobe consists of floral items!!  

like i said i've been a total slob this weekend and am still in my dressing gown.  but now Wales have one their first match of the 6nations tournament, wooooooooo! i think its time i got myself sorted myself out and got some school work done! #challenge for the night...

Much Love
