Models Own Lipstick Review & Nails!

Hi everyone, I've been a busy bee this week! Me and Will went up to Hillsborough at the weekend so I could buy some fabric for my statement piece but was sadly very disappointed when I got there, there was nothing special or anything I could use at all so I'm still searching! We popped to a few shops in Sheffield too, I didn't buy much because I am super poor! I was meant to get a £700 bursary from university but they decided I couldn't have it this year so I'm totally gutted about that! I ended up buying a few odds and ends, I got some more black hair dye to cover my roots (although hopefully going back to ginger soon) and some St Moriz fake tan (getting in to the summer spirit early) and I ended up buying a Models Own lipstick in Pink Hawaiian (buy here) It was only £6 and I loved the colour when I saw it in the store. I've never bought anything by Models Own before but I've heard everybody raving about the nail polishes so I thought I'd just give it a go! And the packaging is super cute, I really love it! All in all I think this is a really good lipstick, it applies really well and has a good texture- nice and creamy, and it lasted me the majority of today too! Although the colour isn't as bright or shocking as I first thought but it's still a beautiful colour and I will probably wear it a lot! Definitely recommend!

Also just wanted to show off my cute nails that my flatmate Naomi did for me with her new nail pen! Theres little hearts on my thumb nails too. They're a little creepy but I like them haha!

Burberry Show at LFW

Hi everyone, so in my last post I mentioned I was off to London Fashion Week to see the Burberry show. Christopher Bailey gives 10 complimentary tickets to our uni every season and this time I was lucky enough to get one! It was absolutely incredible, the whole atmosphere was amazing and the collection itself was beautiful! Half way through the show, the back wall opened up and Tom Odell was there singing live, how cool! I even got to meet Tinie Tempah and Cara Delevingne (although I look horrid on the photo of me and her so I will not be uploading it) I even received a personal email from Christopher Bailey on the day, how cute! Sadly, I didn't manage to get any of my own photos of the clothing because I was quite far back! But watch the video of the show on the Burberry website, you will not be disappointed! 

The invitation:

Here are my favourite pieces from the collection:

Valentines Meal Outfit

Just a quick little post today to show you the outfit I wore last night. Me and Will went out for our Valentines Day Meal, everywhere was so busy so we ended up in Pizza Express. It was so lovely, but my meal was a bit disappointing, I didn't fancy pizza so ordered cannelloni and it was just horrible! When we got back we had drinks with friends in the flat and got very jolly (feeling rough today haha) It was a great night though! I bought this dress in the summer for my cousins christening but totally forgot to show it off on this blog, I love it, it's so cute and girly! Anyway, hope you're all well! I'm off to London Fashion Week tomorrow, I'm so excited, expect lots of photos! :) x

Happy Valentines Day!

Hello my lovelies, I hope you have all had a wonderful Valentine's Day, and received lots of cards, pressies and kisses! I haven't even seen Will yet, he leaves for work before I even wake up! I've spent the day making goodies for Will and driving round the Peak District with the girls, I even wore a heart print dress for the occasion, how cute! The boyf gets home in about 2 hours so I'm going to cook him a nice meal as a surprise. He's taking me for a fancy meal on Saturday because he gets home from work so late! Also, see the brilliant card I made for him below, some serious Coronation Street appreciation right there! 

Kate Moss for Rimmel Lipstick Review

Well I know these lipsticks have been out for quite a while now and everybody raved about them at the time, and I've even bought a few of them before, but it is just recently I found a purple one! As you all know, I have been hunting for a decent purple lipstick for a while now, and I saw this one the other day when I was shopping in Beverley and totally jumped at the chance to buy it. I can't remember the exact price but it was only around £5 which is really good considering the last lipstick I bought was 17, roughly the same price and turned out to be really bad! 

Usually I wouldn't buy a lipstick by Rimmel but I think the whole Kate Moss thing definitely swayed me. And I think they're really great lipsticks. The packaging is cute, they smell amazing, the tip is just the right shape, they apply really well and are not too dry! Definitely recommend!

I'm still a bit unsure as to whether the colour may be slightly too dark for my extremely pale complexion, I don't want it to look black. I'll have to post a picture with a full face of make-up and see what you all think! 

NYFW: The Blonds A/W 13

Hey everyone, just a quick post to show you my absolute fave collection to come out of New York Fashion Week! It was inspired by suspense/thriller movie marathons, as you can probably tell! I love this collection so much, I think it's totally fresh and I love all the horror references, especially the big knife earrings! Even the models wore false nails with images of Jack Nicholson in The Shining and slogans of 'Bates Motel'

Weekend at William's

First of all, sorry for not posting in over 2 weeks but I really do mean it when I say I don't get a chance anymore! I've had so so much uni work as usual, but I handed in my CV, cover letter and portfolio! I also handed in another design project and had a meeting with my tutors deciding which statement garment I am going to make from my next collection (it's the yellow submarine one, pictures to come soon!) We have also recently started a design project for Panache Lingerie, to design a vintage inspired garment and the winner gets £1000, how amazing is that!? And in other news, I GOT A TICKET TO THE BURBERRY SHOW AT LFW, I absolutely cannot wait! Is anyone else going to London Fashion Week at all? :)

Anyway, I've spent this weekend at my boyfriend's house, we both decided we could use a little break and it always feels like a mini holiday at Will's because he lives in a giant house in the middle of the country side, it's so cute! On Saturday we visited a cute little town called Beverley and did some shopping, went to a cafe and just did some general wandering around. I wish I'd taken some photos but my camera is playing up AGAIN (i have absolutely no luck with technology) Yesterday we went for a lovely meal in a restaurant that I didn't catch the name of, this is what I wore:

Sorry for the terrible quality pictures! And I'm starting yet ANOTHER diet tomorrow, so will update soon lovelies, bye! :) x

New Fringe & Outfit

Check it out, 2 posts in one day! I haven't done a single thing today in actual fact though! Got out of bed, had a subway sandwich, got ready, took some photos, came to the library and have just sat here doing no work ever since. I am so easily distracted! I am determined to re-write my cover letter before I leave tonight though! I have no other interesting news, I am so boring at the moment!

river island

Bit of a rubbish post today guys! Been crazy busy all week again, I have so much uni work on at the moment! I handed in my essay on Tuesday and have just been working on my portfolio and new sketchbook this week! We got a new brief too which is all about preparation for next year, I'm thinking about maybe looking into the 50's and the whole make-do-and-mend thing, need to get researching! Anyway I have the next few days off so I'm making the most of lazing around at the moment, although I will inevitably end up at the library later anyway! I'm going to be writing my new ITCH Fashion article later too so watch this space! 

Sorry about the lack of outfit posts recently, I just haven't had the time and haven't really worn any interesting clothes really! Me and Will are going to the dog racing on Friday night though, so I'll make sure I get some pics... no idea what to wear though!!!

I'm loving River Island at the moment, and also trying to incorporate more colour back into my wardrobe as I've slowly turned a bit gothic as of late!
