it was acceptable in the 80's..

Hello lovelies! Last night the 15th episode (Don't you forget me) of season 7 aired in the UK last night and they took us on a little trip back to the 80's. The girls did so much better than the boys with their outfits and hair, but the boys had a good go and i suppose it's easier to crimp long hair! As I was watching it last night, I knew that I would have to do a post to show off these beauts!

Austin Nichols as Julian

Mitch Ryan (Alexander) & Sophia Bush (Brooke)


Sasha Jackson (Kylie) & Lee Norris (Mouth)

Jana Kramer (Alex)





Shantel Vansanten (Quinn) & Bethany Joy Galeotti (Hayley)

Did you see it, what did you think?
Apologies if your in America and this has already aired :)

5 Favourites

Hello All,
So today I am starting a feature. Each week on Monday I will find my 5 Favourite things (hence the name) from either one website or several websites but the same item (e.g. 5 necklaces) and show you them. As you can see, this week I have chosen 5 items from River Island.
So, here goes...
P.S. Sorry about the picture quality, I'll work on it for next week.

[click the image to view a larger version]


1. £59.99: I love the duffel coat and the toggles that seem to be everywhere this year. We saw them a little bit last year but it seems people weren't so sure back then, but one year on and they're back, bigger and better than ever! Also I love navy and the red toggles give it a nautical look.

2. £29.99: Picture this with some thick black leggings or jeans tucked into brown/tan leather boots with a thick knit scarf wrapped round you. Autumn Chic.

3. £39.99: Cute, patterned, Peter Pan collar, long sleeved and a beautiful colour. Whats not to love?

4. £9.99: The layered ring look is big right now. So you could either cram several ill fitting, miss matching rings on or you could choose this little gem. And for just under a tenner.

5. £32.99: Because who wouldn't want a scarf that could turn them into a pander at the flick of a hood? Honestly, If i could be any animal for a day, it would definitely be a panda.


I couldn't afford any of these, except maybe the ring, but that does not and will not stop me loving them!
Love V xx

a couple snaps.

I got a little bit bored earlier and found my mums camera, so what else could I do but whiz round the house and take a few snaps? ;) There's only four but it's better than nothing, right?

My Favourite One (Above)




Hope your warmer on your weekend than I am on mine :)

Beths always in the magazines for her amazing confidence and her striking looks so why not bring a bit o' beth to the highstreet? The collection photos are below, enjoy! :)

Colour Me Pretty!





If you haven't already guessed from the photos above, this post is about nail varnish. Sorry for the quality of the photos but i do not currently own a camera (so so gutted) and so i have had to settle for my 2mp camera on my phone, which by the way is also slowly falling to pieces.
I love nail varnishes. I own quite a few to say the least (you saw a snippet of them) but not enough colours, i own too much pink. I buy one practically every time i go shopping, and spend an age deciding on which one i should go for, much to the annoyance of my friends! But nail varnish is important, it can potentially make or break an outfit and besides it makes me feel pretty! This post is basically a way to show my love and devotion and to overall feed my addiction to nail varnish as i can't wear it for ages and ages because it's against school rules!
I just want to go out and buy every single new autumn colour.
So basically, I MISS NAIL VARNISH! ;'(
BIG ♥ FOR NAIL VARNISH!

are you a nail varnish addict?

Hope your having a good week so far, V xx

Let us dance in the sun, wearing wild flowers in our hair - Susan Polis Shutz

Good evening sweeeties! So, i'm five days into year 11 and it's gonna be a longggggg year and a very difficult year, but thats no reason for it not to be an AMAZING year. Im sat on my bed, watching big brother and i have been since 7:30pm. To be fair it is the final ;( very sad times, every time Davina wells up, it brings a tear to my eye. I l-l-love Davina, she's just lovely (her big send off has just started :D ) and to be honest, she makes Big Brother, doesn't she. I'm so glad she wore red. She looks gorgeous in anything and we all know she can pull off black better than any human being, ever, but I always think that when it's the mile-stone episodes (e.g. the finals) that she should wear colour and she has! I'm going to miss her presence on my friday nights. Big love for the queen of TV :) .. I could honestly talk about Big Brother for ever and ever.



I need neeed neeeeeeeed a haircut! BUT i'm beginning to annoy myself, because I am incredibly indecisive. So i'll decide i want a haircut in a certain style, i'll be fixed on it for a few days then doubt starts to ruin my lovely dream hair :( I start to worry about it not looking nice and i start to imagine people will take the mic. I know you shouldnt worry about what people are going to think, but your bound to right? I've never really had any drastic style changes. Im 15 and I've never had a big drastic change, how sad that makes me feel :( I suppose the closest I've come to is either my mother putting a block fringe on me (which was so straight it looked as though they had used a spirit level to put it in) or when i cut my hair short-ish. I say short-ish because it wasn't actually short in reality, but compared to what it was before i cut it! It was long, very long. And to be honest, I didn't care what my hair looked like then, or my appearance come to think of it. Those were the days when i would happily leave the house in cropped grey, faded jeans with Adidas trainers wearing a little pink tee with a glittery monkey on it. Yes, there is photographic evidence of this, which will never work its way onto here! Anyway, yet again i feel i have digressed. So my hair right now? Blonde-ish, I'm in denial, I dont want to call it mouse-y brown...
Its layerd, but they don't last very long, at all. I have no fringe, i've never wanted to go back from the block fringe days of my terrible twos - 5's! I've toyed with dying my bland boring locks brunette recently but now i want to go blonde blonde blonde!!
I think i might go for choppy choppy layers and maybe a bit of a side fringe? Wonder how long this idea will last :)


Celeb hair style crush: BLAKE LIVELY!

Look how I've babbled on... and sadly not about anything too exciting.
Have a good weekend, get inspired? :)

GQ awards

I'm feeling a little bit stinted, fashion wise. I'm not entirely sure what it is, but i'll take an eductated guess. So we're back at school and as per usual its all about uniform, uniform, uniform. I know a lot of schools have strict rules about uniform/appearence but I dont understand how much difference nail varnish or a hair braid can make to our education? I havent worn a hair braid since i was about 6, but i'd like to have the option, you know. Anyway, a couple of days ago GQ magazine along with Dunhill held Men Of the Year 2010 awards. As i'm not up for talking too much today (no idea why), I'll let the pictures do the talking...


Daisy Lowe in Gareth Pugh

Gemma Arterton in Viktor And Rolf


Lily Allen in Vintage with Chanel Jewels


Alexa Chung in Valentino



I suppose as it was the Men of the Year awards, so we should include them a little bit ey?



Aaron Johnson with finace Sam



JLS in Armarni


Ed Westwick (Yum) with Lily Allen


Dizzee Rascal in Dior

David Gandy in Dolce and Gabanna


Oh Mark...


Your opinions, best and worst?
