Cute. ♥
I want a polaroid camera SO bad it hurts.
So my night will consist of four things:
1. X Factor (Live shows are the best, lets me honest)
2. Learning a french speech, for an exam.
3. Catching up on blogs :D
4. Food.
Hope your having a fabulous weekend, enjoy it!

love to the lashes

Hello Lovelies,
We're talking mascaras today..

I ran out of Maybelline's Falsies mascara. There was a lot of hype about this mascara and to be completely honest with you, i totally understood why. I loved Falsies! Literally lived and breathed it, i got compliments and everything, which is always a good sign. So, when i ran out of it, i didn't think twice about which mascara i wanted to buy. I toddled on down to the shops and bought it again. Howwwwwever, this time it didn't live up to the reputation i'd built up for it. It' safe to say i was gutted. But i needed a mascara that i liked. I mean i wear it every day, it should be one that i like. Anyway, I gave my mum the Falsies mascara, why not 'ey! Then I went shopping with the mother and she picked up a mascara that hadn't heard of before. It was Collection 2000's 'Big Fake False Lash Effect mascara' in black. I was slightly dubious because i'd never had any collection 2000 stuff except nail varnish, but theres a first time for everything, right. And i love love love it!

They are majourly cropped because i have seriously skank skin right now!

- hmm probably would have been nicer for me to not be staring RIGHT into the camera!

I always wear liquid or pencil liner on the top lid too :)

What do you think of this, and any opinions on Maybelline's Falsies?



Hope your all well,

Love V xx

Yesterday, in hockey, my teacher told me to gain some self control.

Apparently theres some sort of limit on how many times your allowed to attemp to hit the ball when running up the pitch. While screaming.

consistency and versatility

Hello, ! I need a ramble, sorry!
I've changed the font colour of every other paragraph to make it look pretty and add a little excitement. ;)

So, I haven't been on here in days (which is ages in my world.)
Today's going to be quite a long post, well that is my intention, if it's short by the end of it i've given up with technology. I always feel a little awkward with long posts, I feel like i'm just babbling on about nothing anyone cares about. I also lack structure. But they say practice makes perfect, so practice it is.
I don't know if anyone reads this consistently but i started a 'feature' a couple weeks ago, which i was iffy about. I told myself i would publish this feature every Monday, and yesterday i forgot. I only had a couple pieces of homework but each was incredibly time consuming, and by the time i had finished it all, there was nothing else on my mind except bed. The fact that I'd forgotten to write the 5Favorites feature confirmed it for me. It wasn't going to last. I want to write something that i look forward to writing, something that makes me scribble little notes down about thing to write about while i run to class and this didn't. I realise some people will think that i haven't given it enough time to get used to it or anything but in my mind, i shouldn't have to. As i said, i need it to be something that i am passionate about. Long story short, bye bye 5Features.
I want my blog to be versatile. I was hesitant about labelling myself and my blog under the title fashion. I don't like feeling restricted. Therefore this blog is still a fashion blog, but not every post will be about fashion. I like writing about what i want to. If i want to tell you about my day, then i will. If i want to give my opinion on Topshops new line, then why not? Now i worry that sounds a little intense? I hope it doesnt, it wasnt meant to! ha.
I Play Netball! :D
I train out of school but play for school now, it sounds silly but it took alot to actually feel confident to try out, but i did and so far i've played two matches ;) won them both, love it.
It's school photos tomorrow, i guarentee you that it will rain. But no one ever has a nice school photo right?!
Maybe one day i'll be able to organise my thoughts into a structured post thats easy on the eyes.

Nudity always tends to be controversial.

They're back girls.

Yes, you heard me right. The flesh coloured lips are back. However we've long passed the days of using conclealer as lipstick. We're also now seeing a little colour in these nude lips, which, i know, is a tad contradictive but the best trends are. Some are calling these lips 'muted' but nude made for a much better title, dont you think? This all sparked when Pat McGrath sent CK models down the catwalk donning a very au natural look.


Marina does them best though.

Time Warp

I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS POST!

My weekly subscription to LOOK magazine arrived today (on time for once!) and in it is an
a-maz-ing editorial featuring Diana Vickers. They did a shoot consisting of 7 photos all styled with different decade in mind. Jodie Nellist, the stylist, dressed her from the '30s to the '90s, ready to have John Adams snap this gorgeous timeline. This is by far (like a million zillion miles ahead) the BEST photo shoot LOOK have done, and I've seen a lot of them! ♥

I'm going to apologise for the quality of these images right now as, and i don't mean to be melodramatic, but ALL TECHNOLOGY HATES ME RIGHT NOW! ;) I'll spare you the details because I will end up taking the focus from this time warp editorial with a teenage grump.
SO ENJOY!

'30s

'40s

'50s

'60s

'70s

'80s

'90s (This scan-in was particularly bad!)

My favourites are the '60s and '70s. I love the clothes in every single shot, but in these two the make-up add a little something extra.
