boot boots.

found here via google search.

Uggs are definitely the marmite boot. I love them. 

I get that they might not always please asthetically, but I think sometimes they can look really nice, especially when it gets colder. Feel cosy, look cosy. 

I will be getting a pair of fake ugg boots this year. There is no point me getting the real deal, I will ruin them within a week. I did try my friends on once and oh my it was like a hug for my toes. I once went through two pairs of the fakeies in one winter. You can get pairs for around £10 -£12 i find usually but I think I had a pair for £7 once. Don't quote me on this because I don't have a great memory but I think it was George at Asda. 

However, I would like to get some other boots too. Last year the military/worker kind of style boot was everywhere and I think we'll probably see a few of those around this year as well. I am really picky with boots and I don't like spending a lot of money, especially when I don't have it. I am going on the hunt this year for, hopefully, some relatively cheap boots but I may have to look at some as an investment if they are going to last a long time. I seriously don't think my feet have grown in like three years, they may have potentially shrunk though? (when are feet meant to stop growing? Does it mean I wont get taller?) 

Anyway, in summary of that scatty unstructured paragraph: I would like some cheap boots or a little bit more expensive investment boots. I don't know what I like in boots though, I guess I'll have to go try a load on. 

What type of boots do you like? Any recommendations  very welcome!

p.s. I've said the word boot so many times now it doesn't sound real.

Definitely haven't blogged in forevz. Sorry, there is literally no reason other than not being motivated or thinking I have anything worth blogging about.

Then, I was refreshing my twitter page while procrastinating on my psychology homework (seriously, should get an a level for spelling it right. jkkkk!) and saw Fearne Cotton tweet about her fashion show at LFW. I haven't really been keeping tabs on any LFW business if I'm honest but this caught my eye. 

I read it and was like "FEARNE COTTON HAS HER OWN FASHION LINE?!?!?!". How had I not heard this? Then, I googled a little bit and found it was her line for Very. I love that this was in LFW. 

I love Fearne Cotton, she has always been on my tv screen, seriously as long as I can remember. I remember her having some quite questionable outfits but she has definitely got her style down now. It's beaut. I want her to be a massive designer but stay on the tv/radio. 

Basically her life seems so cool. I sound lame but it's true. 

You can see the show here. 

Opinions?

Models Own Sale!

I have finally put together my Models Own 50% sale post together. I wont lie, it was a slow process with the photos and there was the potential for tears when we had a little 'not responding' blip. But, it's here. So, here goes..

I'd wanted to try Models Own nail polish for ages, the packaging and displays always appeals to me in shops but if I'm honest I stick to the cheaper alternatives and then the graciously gave us a 50% sale and the rest in history.. 

I chose Purple Poppy, Jade Stone, Misty Grey, Purple Haze, Top Turquoise, Lilac Dream and the MO WAH Nail Art pen. 

The first photo is the bottle showing the name, the second is the colour with flash and the third is without flash. The Misty Grey only has one photo because I couldn't tell which was flash and which wasn't. My bad. 

The flash shows this colour pretty much exactly as you see it in real life. I currently have it on my toes, even though no one see's them. Toes creep me out. 

This one looks almost exactly as it does in the bottle on the nails. It's cute and lovely. The flash makes it look more turquoise than it is, the no flash is a much better depiction of the colour.

This was an add on. I'd ordered but turns out it hadn't gone through, which worked out good for me because I added this beaut and it is my favourite one. 

This took three coats and quite a bit of patience for me. Bare in mind it was late and there was sticky glitter. I do like the colour though but think i'd keep it to just add on top for a glitter coat. 

This, in my opinion, isn't really a turquoise colour but more of a teal. I would say it is the middle of these two photos, darker than the flash and lighter than the no flash. 

and finally..

These are to show you the size of the pen and then a pattern that I did with the pen. The pen is really good (I'm a little bit in love with it) and if I had the money I would by them at £6 but because I don't I think when this runs out i'll stick to my cheapies from eBay in the colour bulk pack I have.

I'm really happy with what I got and the customer service was excellent and the dedication and time the MO team must have and clearly put in before/throughout/after the sale is amazing. 

What do you think and did you buy anything?

Seas would rise when I gave the word.

Basically, I did photograph my outfit today but from a dodgy angle because I didn't have time to stack things up to get the right height, sounds professional i know, so I put a picture of a pretty flower. 

Started sixth form, had one lesson today because of all the introduction stuff and a free and ended up finishing twenty minutes early, had to wait for people walking though. bummer. The dress code is a bit sucky because in my opinion it doesn't really factor in modern clothing/fashion, but maybe you can't expect it to? Anyways. 

Music:

Gravity - Embrace

Your Song - One Direction 

Run for your Life - Matt Cardle

Cheers - Rihanna

                                                      Check Yes Juiliet - We the Kings (Acoustic Version, both good though)

The Scientist - Coldplay

With Me - Sum 41

Never Grow Up - Taylor Swift 

That's basically the gist of what I'm listening to right now. One Directions version of Your Song is seriously lovely and rediscovered We The Kings this week. 

Too many of the songs in the charts right now, to me, seem to be along the same kind of line. About being on the dance floor and the DJ or whatever. I get that dance music has a big audience, myself included sometimes, but the fact that it's dance music doesn't mean it can't be about something or have a message. Example manages this in Stay Awake, explained here, I think anyway. Mini moan over. 

Any music suggestions? I will listen to anything once :)
