5 Favourites - 27th September 2010

Hello, :) This weeks five favourites are as follows...

[CLICK THE IMAGE TO VIEW LARGER]

1. £9. It's Autumn and there seems to have been a sudden change in temperature, no? So this cute little pendant means you'll always have an umbrella on you, this one might not be as effective as a real umbrella, but still.

2. £25. I have ALWAYS wanted a lantern like this, which pretty much concludes the reasoning for placing it in my 'five favourites' this week.

3. £5. Release your inner 'glamourpuss' with this gorgeous feather fan. Add a little mystery maybe?

4. £8. Simply because i feel i should include something panda-related every week now. Ha! Jokes aside, this not-so-little statement ring stands out for all the right reasons!

5. £9. Just got off of a ten hour flight, not looking your best. Whack out this beauty and you'll be the most stylish traveller there!

Good afternoon, :)

So i've had a busy weekend, in my opinion anyway.

Saturday we took the brother to uni, it took for ever, traffic, traffic and a little bit more traffic. We amused ourselves however. We created an ingenious game of screaming 'WAHAAAY!' everytime we saw another car that was full to bursting with uni supplies. Simple pleasures 'ey.

Then the same night, i stayed over at a friends house with 3 others, and it was SO much fun. We were all care free and just having a laugh and some fun, which seems also non-existent recently. Yes we lived up to the stereotype; we did eachothers make up and hair, which has concluded in me convinced i need two new foundations, one mousse and one powder (I intend to buy these asap!). We ate pizza, drank coke and watched high school musical 3.. because you are never too old.

Left quite early, on a severe lack of sleep, to go and watch/support my dad while he did a run for Cancer Research UK :) It was freezing, i was in four layers and my mum in 5 but all the runners did so well and raised a lot of money for a good cause.

As you can see from the first part of this post, i chose to focus it on friendship, because I loved the 'sleepover' (sounds so childing, ha!) and i love my friends. It was a good time, and they have been rare due to friendships drifting, which is sad but it's bound to happen. So yeah, it was good to feel part of a secure little friendship group again :)

Hope you've had a good weekend ♥

TGIF ;)

Happy friday!

I'm so unbelievably glad this weekend is here.


Today has had a couple of accomplishments on my part, the first being I found my eyeliner pencil! This may not seem like an accomplishment to the 'average joe' but to me? It's up there with the best. I've been looking for it for ages, don't get me wrong, my room isn't so messy that i lost it under a pile of clothes that had casually been chucked in a corner, no. Instead my little eye liner pencil, which now stands at just about over an inch, was tucked away in my old make-up bag, underneath foundations and eye shadows that I no longer use. I am not entirely sure how or why it was there, but it was and now it's safe in my current make-up bag. It's like a kind of security. I just re-read that, i completely bipassed the reason as to why i have branded the discovery of my eyeliner as an accomplishment. Basically, It's autumn an in autumn I like my make up thicker than usual. Not so thick so I look like a panda (if you consider that a bad thing) but substantially thicker than I wear it in summer. Now, with the loss of my beloved eyeliner pencil, i have had to use my liquid eye liner, on my top and bottom lids. This is a nice, light look. A look suitable for summer, but not Autumn. Welcome back, my beautiul eye liner. ♥

From Here.

I'm not going to ramble on about my second accomplishment of the day, so i'll sum it up. I finished ALL my coursework for english. I mean, it was the year 10 coursework which was supposed to be finished several weeks ago (I'm now in year 11) but never the less, it's done.

Weekend Plans?

Love, V xx

It's all in the effects

I want this. It's cute and edgy. Those two words pretty much sum up Barry M make up completely.. oh and maybe colourful.

Watch the tutorial video here. It explains it all really.

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!

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!

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?

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