I'd like to be a bee keeper if at all possible, please.

here.

Because he's hot.

I had a career meeting thing today. When she was writing up my action plan and things, the lady told me to have a read through this book which had information on a load of careers (it was massive!). I genuinely saw a page for bee keeping. I wanted to stop her and say 'actually I've changed my mind, I'll be going into bee keeping'. How cool is that!?

yeah, I surf.

Firstly, I would just like to mention a lovely blogger who goes by the name Agent 0017 for her blog donewithconformity.blogspot.com. She took the time to write a little bit about each of her followers, it was such a lovely surprise when I clicked on her post to see it, it made my day! It was so sweet and thoughtful and just shows how much her followers mean to her. Check out her blog if you haven't already, it's always a good read!

VO5 SurfStyle texturising sea salt spray

I bought VO5 Surf Style yesterday. It's a repeat purchase because it's just so freakin' amazing! A lot of these products that are supposed to give you that 'just-got-off-my-surfboard' look don't work but in my opinion, this one does! I mean It doesn't create perfect beachy waves just by spraying it in your hair but it does wave it a little bit because of the sea salt (i think) and then if you scrunch your hair etc. it seems to give quite a good effect. Especially for my hair as it has a very slight natural wave. I put it in my hair this morning and I might as well have used my 2.5" curling iron. It probably looked nicer using the spray. This might not happen everyday, we know what hair can be like, but I was happy today. It also adds volume and that tousled look we're all after. The product doesn't claim to keeping a 'perfect hold' of this style throughout the day so I suggest hairspray (mine was useless, I swear its water?). This spray is only something like £3.50 so it's worth a try at least to see if it works for you. Even if your not interested in it for the styling aspect, buy it for the smell! It was a big factor in my choice to repurchase. Seriously, it is like the seaside in a bottle. I wish I could spray it on the screen and it would transfer to yours, just so you could smell it! yum. 

Babyliss Waving Wand

I was flicking through the Argos catalogue, as you do, when I came across this beaut. The Babyliss Curling Wand.  I'm tempted but it retails at around £27-£30ish so that puts me off a little. I might wait to see if it comes down in price. Does any one have it already, is it any good? 

Enough wave talk. 

Have a good week!

tv and hair, it all interlinks.

As you have probably noticed by the mass of adverts smothering our E4/Channel 4 etc. channels. Skins is back. Soon. Thursday 27th January at 10pm on E4 to be mildly precise. Everyone always says 'it wont be as good as the last series'. But we said that in reference to the second cast and to be honest, that series was so good! I don't think I could choose between which cast I preferred because they were different, obvs. I'm not overly excited for this new cast, don't know why, an explanation wouldn't be very interesting anyway. I love the drama, it's so unlike my life. ha. I remember Simon Bird (plays Will in The Inbetweeners) saying something like 'Skins is what you wish your school life was like and The Inbetweeners is the harsh reality'. Makes me laugh everytime. Appropriate to you or not, it's funny. I loved Chris (first cast) and Cook (second cast) so I included photos. I, of course, loved Freddie too but these pictures jumped out at me on weheartit so there you go.

The topic of Skins brings me nicely on to my next point. Hair. Unless you haven't already seen the picture below/haven't seen Skins then I understand this might not seem like things that link directly to one another. But alas,  I shall explain.

The picture below shows Kat Prescott, she played Emily Fitch in the 3rd and 4th series' of Skins. I want her hair. It's that simple. Pure want. If I wasn't so damn indecisive and thought it might actually look half decent I'd dye my hair that colour tomorrow! I'm pale, she is pale (in the photo at least) so it gives me a little bit more confidence in this colour. hmm. Do you think this colour looks good on pale/fair skin tones?

A more subtle colour might be a better idea. A lovely Anne Hathaway brown, maybe. But subtle seems a little boring right now. 

Via here. 

Neither change would be subtle seeing as I'm blonde-ish.  I also have natural highlights and  I've been warned by a zillion people who have dyed their hair at some point that 'you'll never get your natural colour back, not even with a wash in wash out'. Is this true!? It's a scary thought. Someone reassure me?

There you have my skins opinions/lusts and my hair colour dilema/wants. I rambled on for much longer than I intended to, oh well. 

Hope you are having a wonderful week!

tweeze in style.

I just quickly wanted to show you these really cute tweezers I got for Christmas from my parents. I think they're so adorable! My pair is meant to be Victoria Beckham (love!) which is also appropriate being as it's my name too. My mum was really excited because she chose these ones because she liked them the best and looked at the name and viola! 

I remember seeing them in a magazine and my mum told me they are called 'tweezers with attitude' or something, so I googled and found them here for £3.10. 

I love them! You can get Victoria Beckham (obvs), Sienna Miller, Cheryl Cole and a few others.

Really quick post, have to go out for a netball training session thing at half five, cutting it close! 

Hope you all had a wonderful day.

we're the kids in America

I know I blogged about the American style trend we're seeing everywhere like last week and all but this is a little different and shorter. The style that I featured in that post was more the' American girl' kinda thing, this is more varsity. Anyway, I wanted to show these because I also thought it might be a slightly cheaper alternative to the asos.com 'look' they are featuring. The following items are from a 'preppy American' look they have on boohoo.com. 

£20.00

£18.00

£!0.00

£10.00

£20.00

These were my favourite pieces. They're quite casual, if I could I'd buy all of these and then all of the clothes I showed in the asos American style post I did too. 

Sorry if you feel like I'm repeating myself.

telephone necklace anyone?

 I'm not a massive jewellery fan. There was a stage when I was apparently in competition with myself to wear as many bracelets on one arm as possible, but I'm over that now. However, I always stop to have a look in Accessorize. I usually um and ah about jewellery, thinking will I wear it enough to get my moneys worth, (I must be so annoying to shop with) and usually end up leaving it, convincing myself I don't need/want it enough and to be honest I probably don't. *cutting to the point*. I was having a look on their website and found a few pieces I liked which I thought I'd share.  

£9.00

£12.00

A phone on a necklace! LOVE.

Also, I have a major want for a big inconvenient ring. The bigger the better! I adore this River Island one and the bird one below from Accessorize. Amazing.  I mean it would probably snag some of your clothes, but who cares. Look at it! Sheer brilliance in my mind. 

£12.00

Contrary to the above choices, I don't usually like gold jewellery, much more a silver girl. Oh well. 

How do you like your jewellery? Big, dainty, silver, gold?
