It's Halloween Soon..?

I FEEL LEFT OUT ;(


ha. jokes. but seriously, halloween has never been a big deal at all for me and it seems to be for everyone else! I mean i'm fifteen and have only had to dress up for halloween like three times.
How deprived i have been ;)
What is the actual date of halloween, i'm told it's soon?

It wont let me stop typing in italics? the button isnt even pressed for it?! madness. Oh well, we'll manage.

Anyway... I went shopping today :D AND the even better part, I actually brought things! ahhhhhhh!

- I've just made the screen zoooom out loads and now it looks really really tiny. I clicked on a magnifying glass (thinking it was the zoom) and it was a search engine, so now i'm typing in this really small screen - it's a little bit cute -

Wow, i digress. Anyway. I went in about every shop we could find. i got some primarks version of uggs, i'm kind of over uggs right now but the other pairs of boots i tried on didnt look/feel right, one pair i tried to try on and my foot was too wide, which is sad because i'm told i have very narrow feet. bit of a shame.
I also brought a few vest tops, i wear them ALL the time. they go with/under anything and with the weather recently, an extra layer is always a plus. Oh, i bought THE most amazing pyjama bottoms/trousers/bums (whatever you call them) ever.. yes i am wearing them as i type this. They are like blue, dark blue and white check pattern but like a thick check pattern, if you get me?
Got myself a hugely thick and veryyy long navy blue scarf, i've yet to style it so it doesnt make my head look 3 times the size, even my mums had a go.
Got the usual hair scrunchies/bands (whatever you call them) and bobby pins - i will no doubt loose all of these within a month. And some socks. OOH and i also bought a red check top, maybe a little tartan-ish? yes, i am also wearing this as i type. It's a kind of rule/tradition in our house that you have to wear what you brought when you get home. and besides my pjs and this top make me look a treat, a very warm treat.

I stillllllll haven't found anywhere with barry M mushroom nail paint/varnish (whatever you call it.. jokes this is becoming tedious now, even for me).

I still need a coat. It's getting colder and cold requires a coat. I have saved for quite a while in order for a little shopping trip, one much like todays in fact, and so hopefully i can find one that i can afford. or maybe the parents chip in a little as a christmas pressie? we'll see.

Currently listening to Katy Perry - Not like the movies and i LOVE firework.
And anything Taylor Swift. Also love the white tie affair - mr. right since hearing it on some replayed episode of the hills. ♥

And i love hollyoaks laterrrr, ah and a double episode of one tree hill on monday - yes! but its the end of the season - sad times.

Oh, i've written rather a lot. And not in my usual style i feel. I've not really thought that much about what i'm writing (you can probably tell) and this style kind of reflects my thought process sometimes. ha.

Haha, i'm sorry this is a text - heavy, picture - empty post :( I'll try get some photos of some of the stuff i got today taken and up soon. - maybe i'll slip a picture in at the top (something halloween related possibly!)

Thankyou for reading - especially if you stuck it right to the end, probably deserves more of a welldone than a thankyou?

Hope you've had a good day?

A levels and what not.

I have an open evening next week about A Levels. They will of course tell us how this decision is the most important decision we will EVER make. They told us that with our GCSE's too. Just after they did so a scared silence spread across the hall, my father, apparently oblivious to the silence, said loudly 'oh, no pressure then'. ha.

I think I'm going to pick:

1. Business Studies

2. Textiles

3. English Lit or Communication and Culture

4. I have no idea about a fourth.

I think that leaves it open for me to go into fashion and writing. Hopefully.

Which A levels did you take?

I love this!

Basically, I haven't been out of the house today. I lead a sad life, jokes. I've been doing revision...eugh. I actually don't mind revising (yeah, im a geek ;D ) as long as it's a subject I find interesting or can actually do. But Science? It's interesting, but I'm just not that good at it, so I opted for English.

Visiting some of the fam for a couple of days this week and then shopping with a friend on friday. Squeezing a bucket load of revision in there too!

Totally a little bit excited for Hollyoaks, Hollyoaks Later and then One Tree Hill. Ha.

P.S. I couldn't think of a title to this post, so I googled for a quote and found quotations ABOUT quotations! How cool! This post hasn't done much to show off my social life, has it? Is it bad that I'm laughing at something I wrote myself?

Love a bit of Edge.

From Left To Right:

Revlon Super Top Speed Base Coat - Gift

Accessorize Nail Colour in 060(i think) - Gift

Avon Nailwear Pro in Vivid Pink - Aprox £6

Barry M Instant Nail Effect - £3.99

(Dont you love how i've pushed all my bed linen back so i dont spill anything on it ;D )

First you apply your base colour - this is whatever colour you want underneath the effects. This does not have to be a Barry M nail varnish, it can be any.

Next, apply ONE coat of the Barry M instant nails effects polish. You shouldn't re-coat this one as it wont give the best effects.

Then you can watch it happen ;) It doesn't take long at all, I did another persons nails with this and managed to do it in about under 5 minutes.

Final Look. I hadn't cleaned off the nail varnish that had gone on my skin yet so it looks a little messy around the edges!

I did one hand in pink as you've seen above and then did the other in this minty green colour.

I wasn't entirely sure about this look when I first did it, simply because it's quite different to anything I've ever had before and I think it can be quite difficult to actually step outside of the norm. But with a few compliments from the girls and a sleep I'm glad i did..because i love it! This look adds edge to an outfit, you could be wearing a simple LBD, paint your nails in this and its a new look completely.

The only bad thing i would say is that it's quite difficult to get off. Before I did my whole hand in the minty green i experimented with a few different colours and I had to scratch it off a little.

What are your thoughts/opinions on this look?

P.S. Did anyone watch Cheryl Coles Life Stories with Peirs Morgan on Saturday? I thought it was so touching, she's just lovely.

Desperate Housewives should include rapping..

Eva's advert for the EMA's she will be hosting.

There aren't too many words needed her, but this is why I love her! Amazing, no?

Style like hers..

So my lovelies, I have purchased Lauren Conrad's newest book, also her first non-fiction book.

I'm not going to lie and write how new and original it is, because lets be honest a lot of celebrities have these kind of books, I myself own Coleen Rooney's, but that doesn't mean it isn't a good book.

There are three sections to this book, Fashion, Beauty and Lifestyle. I haven't read it all yet, because I like to have a flick through the whole book first before I read it through. I did, however, stop at the hair section in the beauty part. Yes, yes I did want to find out how I can get those waves!

There are some absolutely gorgeous photos of Lauren throughout the book and there are several little side sections on some of the pages full of little anecdotes and personal little touches which I feel are quite nice. These types of things are needed in a book like this to make it more personal.

There is quite a lot of variety in this book, it ranges from the standard find the right jeans and the perfect liquid line to dying your hair at home and shopping using Ebay.

Despite not having read through the whole thing yet, I have already learnt a few things. For instance, rubbing a tumble dryer sheet over your hair to reduce and control static. Also, I've learnt how to do that ponytail where the hair is wrapped round so you cant see the hair tie

(I hope you get what I mean!) which I have always wanted to know. That seems the whole point of this book, and it's the feel I get from it, that She (Lauren) want to give out some tips, she wants to teach us those little tips and tricks that every girl loves.

I love The Hills. I don't mind if other people don't like it, it's a personal opinion after all but I love it. I saw the end of an episode the other day where Lauren and Whitney had to fix Lady Gaga's zip, my jaw literally dropped. The Hills gave me my first insight in to what the fashion industry is like and I've never looked back ;)

Thoughts?

mush.

I'm kind of jumping on the bandwaggon here (which, i hate doing) but I WANT THE BARRY M MUSHROOM NAIL VARNISH. I went shopping this morning, very quickly, to go buy it butttttt everywhere was out ;(

I'm a little bit dubious about buying Barry M nail paint, because the other two i own dont go on very well, any one else had this?

I had a look at Models Own nail varnish which also has a mushroom colour but it was £5 a pot, which, being the stingey person that i am, did not even consider buying.

Anyway, in the end i bought the Barry M instant effects nail varnish that i posted about a few weeks back. (Read Here). I have tried to take some photos of it but the webcam isnt working, the screen on the laptop keeps freezing, the toolbars keep disappearing and this keyboard is so awful, it doesnt type the letters unless you exert an incredibly agressive amount of force on the keys. So technology isnt in my favour today, as soon as it is i'll have photos up of the instant effects and i ALSO bought LC's style book that i wrote about in my previous post, quick turnaround from wanting it to buying it, ey. :D

Hope your having a lovely saturday :)
