Training Heels.

I need to apologise for the, what I think is, screwed up homework. it goes wrong sometimes, what can you do?

and again. 

Prom is five months away. Five months seems like a reasonable length of time to prepare right? Apparently not, everyone is freaking out about transportation, dresses, food and blah blah blah. I'm not too worried about all of that, I know we'll get it sorted (positive mental attitude!) but there is one thing that's had me a little worried of late. The shoes. I'm not worried about the colour/size/style/shoe-dress coordination, more the actual walking in them. 

I'm fifteen and can't walk in heels. I'll admit it, nothing to be ashamed of! I've never had any real need to wear heels. My friends houses and school don't really call for such attire, prom however does. So, I decided it was about time to settle the nerves and get practising. After all, they say practice makes perfect, and I'm not even after perfect, just adequate as to avoid any falls. Enter shopping. 

My mother and I found the beauties you see in the photos above in BHS on an after school shopping trip this week. I wouldn't normally think to look in BHS but I'm glad my mum suggested it. She's always right! I love the colour and because of the nude shade they will go with almost anything! They were in the sale too, which is extra bonus points! 

So from now on, I'll be lounging around the house in these heels to try and ensure my being at a constant vertical during prom. I'm focusing on walking, not even attempting stairs for fear of breaking something and have concluded that they're going to come off during the dancing! 

My recent step into the world of heels has made me wonder about a few things. What age do you begin wearing heels? Of course there is no age you should wear heels, to suggest such a thing would be silly in my eyes, but when is a common age, if there is one? I know people younger than me that have got heels down and then again I know some people older than me that stick to flats. I suppose it's down to the individual to choose whenever (if ever) they want to. 

How is your heels experience?

white white wedding.

here.

Oscar De La Renta is probably my all time favourite designers and through no fault of my own I ended up on the website. This is a wedding dress and it is out of the 'prom dress budget' by a zillion punds but I love it. It's beautiful!

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.

You like?

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.
