Sunday Summary

Sunday Summary:
I got my hair died how i said i would in my last post however I decided to add a red streak into it, not sure why... i was just feeling... daring haha. In the photos the blondeness doesnt show up as well but it is a lot lighter which I like.

.Currently listening to You me at six's "Liquid confidence" on repeat
.Really enjoying reading articles on the internet about relationships and advice.. they help alot!
.Doing a live brief for "The Hay Festival" at college which is a really BIG oppurtunity for us art students.

Hair Ideas

Afternoon lovelies! I am getting my hair highlighted tomorrow throughout the whole of my head and was looking at idea's for colours. Atm my roots from my last lot of highlights (a little light blonde, medium blonde and mousey brown) are down to my ear and they look bloody hideous! See photos of my old highlights here.

I want to highlight my hair as a "california blonde" kind of colour but still keeping some of my brown in it. Here are some photos of celebrities sporting the look perfectly that I want. Obviously in all of these photos I am dead jealous of how luscious and calfiona-ery (is that a word) their hair all looks.

california dreeeeaming.. of hair

california blonde hair..

So im sure your all familiar with the hair colour im looking for, if only my hair was a little longer then i't'd be perfect. My favourite hair colours from the photos are the 3rd and 6th ones. What are yours? :)

We the kings!

one word: AMAZING, I went to go see a band called We the kings yesterday, I had only listened to their songs a couple times, but my friends had an extra ticket and invited me along to go with them. I am so glad I went now because the concert was just.. WOW. The arena (02 academy birmingham) was pretty small, about the size of a school dining hall. But that was the good part, it meant that me and my friends managed to get right to the front!

We the kings are now my new found love! their music is exactly my style and their supporting acts were amazing too: I see stars, all forgotten and versaemerge. I actually laughed so hard when some people opened up a mosh pit. They were all just flinging themselves around into each other and flailing about. Travis, the main singer couldnt stop going on about how he loved the english accents and thought we were all so sexy haha! and one of the best parts? when JOSH from YOU ME AT SIX! came on and sang with WTK'S, at that moment in time i was screaming, jumping and filming all at the same time :)

So overall it was a bloody awesome night! sorry for the lack of posting lately guys, my art projects have now be boosted to two weeks every project instead of 1 so the work is starting to get harder and more stressful haha! but... on the brightside... im not single anymore.. and i have a lovely boyfriend to come home from a long day at college and talk to! :)

Spending moolah

Hey girls, im feeling much better since my last post and I got some ecouraging comments and emails which made me feel alot better. I went to town on saturday and spent some of my money. I wasnt really looking for anything in particular but felt like getting myself a new top and some makeup. I did however plan to stuff my face. I had a subway as usual but this time chose a different sub (Tuna, toasted with cheese, sweetcorn and mayonaisse on italian bread), a chocolate chip cookie and a big Vanilla ice thing with cream from Costa. NOM.

Then later on that night, I went to the odeon cinema in Worcester to watch 127 hours. All I can say is WOAH.. the film was absoloutley amazing. The director (Danny Boyle) made an amazing film to say the least. The filming was incredible and the acting was even better. James Franco *drools* was inspiring and really moving. There was one incredibly gory scene which I closed my eyes and put my fingers in my ears for parts of but overall it was a really really good film.

Down in the dumps

hey girls, this is not really a very fun or interesting post but lately i have been feeling kind of un inspired when it comes to my blog. I haven't got much time to post between college nights and some of the college work i have. I find myself getting really tired. I also got some hateful comments on some of my posts (you wont be able to see these because I deleted them) and I also got some hateful emails sent to my hotmail account about my blog. The comments made me feel quite upset if im honest and they nearly drove me to deleteting my blog.

I wont dwell on it to much because its not really something you guys want to here about, however I would like your help on what you girls would like to see on my blog, wether it be fotd posts or more ootd posts or even hauls. I just feel a little depressed about my blog I guess and I need some new encouragement and inspiration. Hope your all doing well and I will try and post a haul very soon! Meanwhile, as I dont want this post to be pictureless, heres an awesome peice of photography i found on the internet (I think they may have used a fish eye lens...)

Show me a garden thats bursting into life

hey girls, college is really taking up my time at home so i'm apologizing for my lack of posts.. although I have noticed im not the only blogger out there thats gone a bit awol so i dont feel too bad haha. I always have monday's off college so try and use that time to take lots of photographs for you. The top i'm wearing in this outfit is actually pretty new and I only just bought it a couple weeks ago. Its a little seethrough so I decided to wear a top underneath. Otherwise i'd be getting a few funny looks at my bra haha.

You'll have to follow natures law

hello ladies, im feeling very bloggery at the moment. Thats not even a word but who cares haha :) I always have the urge to change the layout of my blog whenever I come across a new blog and see how theyve laid it out, I think woah I want to do that! I have decided I am sticking with this layout for a while though.

Not much of an exciting OOTD post but I wasnt really doing much and had the day off so decided to take some snaps for you. I have really been into just jeans and slouchy zip up jackets atm. Really cant be arsed to wear leggings atm.. its just too cold. I actually nicked this jacket of my brother. My mum bought it for him and I saw it, loved the colour and thought "right well thats mine from now on"

Life is like Photography, You develop from the negative

I feel like such a crap blogger. I havent done a proper blog post with photos i have taken myself or blogged about a beauty product or fashion product in aaaaages. I have no excuse for not taking any photos because I now have my camera back so should be getting snap happy. However the god damn english weather is stopping me and now that im back at college its hard to find time in the week.

Anyway, lately I have been really wanting to update my room, Not as such as painting it or moving the furniture around but adding to it. For example, adding some more photographs around my room or some stickers... im thinking swallows or peace signs. Or id just like to add a memory board of train tickets, concert tickets, leaflets, photos.

I think im going to go ahead and buy myself a polaroid camera and fill an entire wall of polaroid photos. Yeah seriously I kid you not... A whole wall. I love photographs because they have so many memories in them. So here are some photos of inspiration for the beginning of my amazingly epic, kushty, mindblowing, awesome polaroid photo wall that is to come!



All images are from google images so I take no credit for these awesome walls of polaroids!

New years antics

Hey girls, so im not gonna blabber on about "becoming a new person and all" now that its a new year, because i dont really think its a fresh start or anything. I just think its another year in my life which will bring me lots more memories, laughs, new experiences and so on. I hope you all had a nice new years eve. If im honest I couldnt be bothered to do anything because I was so tired. The reason for this is because my sleeping pattern has become totally f'd up these past couple of days. Ive been staying up til 3 or 4 on the laptop talking to friends, video calling and helping them and then not waking up til 10 in the morning!

I went shopping a couple days ago and bought some lovely new purchases and they were all new clothes for college! woo. I will deffinetely take some photos for you all and do a "spending my moolah" post. On to other things.. I went to the horse races in Cheltenham yesterday and actually really enjoyed myself. I did also like drooling at all the hot country boys with their green country coats and posh accents! I also won £25 on a horse which I didnt even know was winning until it started overtaking all the other horses haha.

New camera, New Layout

hello girls, Im sure you have all noticed that I have changed the layout of my blog. I know that I have done this alot to my blog over the 3 or 4 months that i've had it. But the things is I always get bored of the layout and like to change it. This time however I have decided to keep it like this as im finally happy with my header and ive finally managed to get a background that I like!

So with that out the way, I have a new camera. Its not much of a big difference from my old camera except that its a couple models up from my old one and it also has a couple more megapixels and a HD movie setting. Oh and the photographs come up better now.

I went to town today to spend my £25 Topshop Vouchers but however couldnt find a pair of black skinny jeans that I wanted so I then decided to start looking for some Graphic print tee's or vests. But again I couldnt find any that I really really liked. So I decided I would wait a couple days for them to get some more stock in and then I would go back and have a look for some tops. As for the black skinny jeans... Newlook have a massive sail on and have loads of black skinny jeans so I will whisk a pair up from there!

I finally figured out how I can make my photos muuuuuuuch bigger without ruining the quality wahoo! im so clever! Anyway im off now to eat some Haribo tangtastics nomnom and broswe ze interwebz!

OOTN- Its Like Goldust

heey girls, this is gonna be a very brief post on an outfit I wore out yesterday. As for the the title of the blog (The golddust bit) was from a song that played yesterday that I love. So anyway, Me and some friends went out to a little club called The Jailhouse. It was a really good night and lots of photographs were taken! I even managed not to fall over in the snow which is always a bonus. Although I did however make some very embarrassing phone calls to lots of random people. I blame it on the peach snaps! haha.


I know its not the best photograph but as you all know I dont have a camera at the moment and I didnt think my friends would appreciate me taking in depth photographs of my outfit on their cameras.
Dress: Newlook
Tights: Primark (Good ole' 100 denier)
Shoes: Just plain dolly shoes (Primark)

As for my makeup, I just did a simple silver kind of smokey eye, with a sheer coraly lip. Nothing too fancy. My hair was just straightened and then backcombed a little to make it look a little messy.

This isnt the most flattering photography of me, but I thought that on this one you could kinda see how my makeup looked! Hope you girls are all enjoying the snow if you have any where you live. Unfortunately its causing havoc where I live as its making it hard for us to get up the driveway haha. In fact, as it was so bad we had to park at the bottomn and walk up. I managed to slip over and fall flat on my back! typical.

30 things I want to do #003

hello girls, sorry it has been like nearly a week or so since I last posted anything on here. I had a very busy week this week with college and everything so couldnt find time to take some photos for a blog post I wanted to do about some latest purchases. But that post will be coming tomorrow for sure!

Im so glad that I have broken up for christmas now! I cant wait til christmas day as I have no idea what pressies im getting because the only thing I asked for was this swatch watch off my mum and dad and that was it! I had a really good last day in college on friday. A boy in my class brought in his wii and we had a whole day of guitar hero battles. It was so funny and the odd muse song popped up (which I was most pleased at haha). Anyway, onto the "30 things I want to do"

#20 Buy a lipstick, an eyeshadow, a blusher and a brush from MAC
#19 Get some streaks like Katy Perry's #18 Go to the Big Chill festival
#17 Make a rainbow cake, exactly like the one below.

#16 Learn to walk in high heels.

So that was the third installment of this mini series. How yummy does that rainbow cake look! I seriously want to make on these and then cover it in loads of american frosting! omnomnom. I loved katy perrys hair when she had those coloured streaks in it. I am thinking of getting something different done to my hair and might try some cool colours out in my hair. Im still undecided. I also really like whitneys hair in this photo. She has reddy caramel underneath and then highlights of blonde and brown on top. What do you think?

Weekdays in Photos

In order of appearance: Shaunie, Sophie & me at college. My garden at night. My crazy static hair. Dinosaurs at the Oxford museum.

This week has been very fun, I took a trip to the Oxford Museum with my art college which was okay I guess. It was the journey up there that was probably more fun! Imagine a coach full of art students watching crocodile dundee whilst travelling to oxford and using that days brief as paper aeroplanes. Nice too see weve all grown up a bit since high school!

I will be doing a post soon on some makeup items I bought. One of them being another lovely Moisture Shine Lipstick from 17. I first bought one of these a month or so ago in the shade "Beehive" so decided to go back and get a more daring colour. Hope you guys have all had a nice week and are looking forward to the weekend. I will be taking another trip into town to pig out on subway and starbucks!

30 things I want to do #002

So heres part 2 of my "30 things I want to do". I really enjoyed writing my last post on this and have enjoyed seeing other peoples responses to this. Maybe in 5-10 years time I will look back on this and be able to tick off about half off the things on the list. So here goes...

#25 Take a trip to italy and try all the lovely pastas and ice-creams
#26 Meet "that boy" who gives me proper butterflies

#23 Become a well known fashion and beauty photographer
#22 Learn How to play the drums

#21 Meet somebody famous that I admire

So that was the second part of 30 things I want to do. After writing these I start to think lots about the future and what my life will be like and what I will look like in the future. Its all very interesting stuff haha! I have a weekend haul coming up for you guys soon so keep your eyes peeled for that.

Where dreams are made

Good evening kidda's. I thought I would make good use of a Fujifilm camera that I took out of college today and snap some photos of my room as it was looking very neat and tranquil. I love the way my room looks at night because it looks all cosy and pretty. I would like to get some more things up around my room, like more photos (maybe some polaroid ones, i really want a polaroid camera haha) and I would like a corkboard thing where my friends can pin things up on and stuff. In advance, I would like to say sorry about the lack of photos, because when I took these it was dark and I hate photos with flash when its dark so yeah...




The "Lumos" idea on the lightswitch is all credit to "Becky May's Belongings". I loved the idea so much that I did it to my own lightswitch, being the nerdy harry potter fan that I am! Also, what do you think of my new layout girls? Im really liking it. Until next time
