for you.

I love book dedications. 

I would happily read them for hours. 

The picture above is obviously from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. 

Another one I found which is beautiful is C. S Lewis's in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. 

Dedication: To Lucy Barfield

My Dear Lucy,I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand, a word you say, but I shall still be

your affectionate Godfather, C.S. Lewis

You may think it silly to love what is often just a couple of lines on a page but I do.

skirt inspiration.

I much prefer skirt shopping than trouser/jean shopping. I find it less stressful/depressing. I've had a look round and found some 'length-appropriate' ones for school next year. As I am penniless however, they will have to be used as inspiration for now.

Miss Sporty - Coty Paris (I think this is the colour name, it's a clubbing one)

Miss Sporty - The label has come off but may just be red. 

I did a nails post not so long ago but I did these and couldn't resist showing them. 

This multi coloured nail thing has onviously been around since forever but has more notably been coveted by Pixie Lott and recently Caggie Dunlop of Made in Chelsea.

Collection 2000 Fast Stroke Liquid Eyeliner

This cost £2.99 from Superdrugs Collection 2000 in Black 1. 

As you can see from the fourth picture it is quite a small pot but you don't need much so I presume this will last me quite a while even with the fact I use it everytime I have make up on. 

I have absolutely no skill with make up to be honest except for liquid eye liner. I feel I got the hang of that quite quickly. This eye liner is good for application because it has a long 'handle' (?). I apply liquid eyeliner from the outside - in as I find it easier and neater. 

The colour when applied to your lid is very strong and does not noticeably diminish in my opinion. 

Have you got the liquid eyeliner knack?

my IDEAL festival

here.

Seeing as its the festival season. Glasto has just gone, T in the park is happening and Reading, V and Latitude among others are yet happen. It's unlikely that your going to like every single artist on a line up at one of these because well there is usually quite a few so I've decided to create my own. This is where my festival comes in, perfectly crafted for me. 

Rules: 5 headliners. 15 other acts. 2 presenters. 1 style Icon.

They can be dead, alive, broken up or still together. Anything goes really. 

Five Headliners:  Beyonce. Queen. Adele. Lady Gaga. Coldplay

15 others: Sweedish House Mafia. Katy Perry. Mcfly. Chipmunk. N-dubz. Ed Sheeran. Example. Tinie Tempah. Scouting for Girls. Deep Blue Something.The Script. Boys Like Girls. Rihanna. Taylor Swift. We the Kings. 

2 Presenters: Fern Cotton. Rick Edwards .. (and me.. obvs) 

1 Style Icon: Karen Gillan

Brief  Descriptions:


Headliners - Beyonce because we all saw her at glastonbury and lets be honest that would be a good thing to repeat. Queen because it would be amazing and the atmosphere would be crazy. Adele because she would play on the last day of my festival just to give a chilled vibe. Lady Gaga because the performance/show would be amazing. Coldplay because T in the Park made me love them.

Others - I've tried to create a varied line up. A little bit of quite a few things.

Presenters - Fearne Cotton because I want her job (and to be her best friend). Rick Edwards because he's hilarious and I'm gutted he's leaving T4!

Style Icon - This was a difficult one. I wanted to stray from the obvious Alexa Chung and Kate Moss. I opted for Karen Gillan because one, she seems lovely and two her style is amazing.

(I can't remember where I found these, usually through google searches but if anyone knows any more specific places please let me know, not mine.)

I want the mud, the rain and the sun. 

And yes, I would definitely want the Rooney's there. 

What do you think of my festival? I'd love to read what your ideal festival would be!

because it is beautiful.

here.

I'm sure that you heard about the HP 7 pt 2. premier was last night and yes I did have a sneaky watch, mostly the arrivals and the end of the speeches. 

The person who had the dress of the event, definitely Emma Watson in my opinion. 

I may be a little bias here because I love her and Oscar De La Renta is my all time fave designer but just look at it! Ahh, gorgeous!

HP fan or not, that dress is beautiful, no?

I have two coats on and a gloss coat.
