HAVEN'T GOT MUCH DENIM



001 - This dress is from New Look (I got it last summer)

002 - Cropped Denim jacket from H&M. It was only £15!

003 - Black Very Skinny jeans from Primark. Size 8, £6 sale.

004 - Denim Shirt from Warehouse. Size 6, £15 Sale


005 - Denim Waistcoat from Miss Selfridge. Size 6, £28.


006 - High Waisted Denim Dark shorts from River Island. Size 6, £15 Sale.

007 - Pin Striped Blue and White Denim shorts (although they dont looks striped) from Miss Selfridge. Size 8, £26. I have featured these shorts in my previous posts, and I love them! Really good for the price. 

008 - This is a denim skirt with black lace. It is from Topshop in the sale last year, for £5.

 

009 - Denim Full Short Skirt from Motel. It had a small bleach stain on it (at the time I thought it was just a mark, but mum said it was bleach and wouldnt come out... which is very annoying). Thankfully it isnt that noticeable so its all okay. It was £30 I think, and because of the stain I got 20% off, so I got it for around £24 which is pretty good. 

010 - The royal blue skirt with flowers on is from Topshop, and it is in some of my past posts. I love this skirt as it is so summery. I was going to buy it for like £32, but I didnt really want to spend that much on it. When I went shopping the next time it was £12 in the sale petite. I was so happy! 

011 - These jeans are from H&M and were £10 which I think is amazing for denim jeans. 

012 - Last but not least are my brown skinny jeans from H&M which I adore. Usually brown jeans are like £40, but I got mine for £15. They only had a size 14 and a size 6 left.. how lucky! I bought the size 6 straight away.

Well, I do have quite a lot of denim clothes, didnt realise I had so many! I keep on buying denim too so maybe I should stop now. Have a lovely evening everybody xxx

WHAT A LIFETIME


This was me about half an hour after I was born - My cute little hat was from my mum!


 I was only a few monthes old when this photo was taken by an Evening Post photographer at Chew Valley Lake. I love this picture of me and my mum!



This is my brother, Steve and me when we were in Florida. I was 13 monthes old.


I have put this one in because I love my outfit! Mum said that I had a cold then so I apologise for me looking really ill.  My white buttoned blouse looks adorable with my cream knitted cardigan hehe. Me age 18 monthes with my dad.


This is me wearing my mums pearl necklace, a little denim dress which I remember loving, with my sandals and socks. I was around 3 years old. I am with my brother Rob in my back garden.

This is my very first day of Primary School, so I was age 4. Although I look happy, when my mum tried to leave me I was in floods of tears and my horrible teacher Mrs Russell had to pull me off of my beloved mum!

I adore this photograph, its when I have cut my hair short and have a little middle parting fringe. I was about to go to sleep in my Dolmation Nighty, but my dad insisted he take a picture of me with my Dolmation Skipping rope. I was 5 years old by now.

This is me with my funky hat on and cool top on haha. I was seeing Atomic Kitten and I had my favourite teddy with me: Possum. I remember Jenny Frost saying "I love your hat!" It was after school at the Mall Cribbs Causeway. I was age 8.

This was a lovely day! I was modelling childrens bridesmaids dresses at Debenhams on a catwalk on the top floor. Me and my friend Emily were doing it and we were fighting over the Gold tiara: I got to wear it in the end. I was in the newspaper and I still have the article. This was age 10.
This is my life in photographs, starting from the day I was born and then increasing in age. I think my favourite photo is the one with me and my mum, although I am blowing a spit bubble and frowning. But I think it is so cute ♥ Am currently watching Friends, even though I have seen every single one about a million times. It never gets boring. Will be doing another post later on this evening - I have already taken the photos for it and basically finish the post but I will wait a little while between posts. I also watched Cloverfield last night which was again, amazing! I have watched it twice now and have enjoyed it both times. I usually hate handheld camera films (apart from REC the horror movie) because it is so shakey and all over the place, but I didnt mind it in Cloverfield.

Anyway, I will post later. Until next time xxx

A MAKEUP POST


Well, firstly I would like to say that I am watching the Mummy! I love it, I have the box set and everything haaha. I always watch it when its on TV as its so fun to watch. It never grows old or boring. Hehe, I'm so sad. Not much has happened since the last post I did which was a couple of hours ago. I just keep on thinking of new ideas and cannot wait to create them for you lovely people!

001 - This is just a normal moisturiser which I put everywhere: my face, arms, legs, feet and body. Its so soothing and leaves my skin feeling soft. It is just plain "Boots essentials Moisturising Lotion". It does the job very well and I wear it all the time.

002 - This is a pink blusher which looks lovely in the Summer on top of a tanned foundation. It is "Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge" for both lips and cheeks. I haven't actually used it on my lips but I will do when I put on makeup next. It is a very soft texture with a lovely fruity smell. Probably my favourite blusher as it stays on all day too!

003 - This is a bronzer also by Bobbi Brown. It is a very Summery tanned colour which is quite dark. It has no shimmer to it which is disappointing so it is just plain. The colour is ."Deep 4" and is looks like cocoa powder. It has a cute little mirror too which is useful.

004 - This is the brush of a mascara wiped across my hand to show you the type, length and thickness of the brush. This is "Maybelline Great Lash" mascara in Blackest Black colour. It comes in such a lovely, bright bottle with a pink bottle and green lid. It stands out from the rest which is great. I used this when I first started wearing mascara in like Year 7 (because everyone else was haha) and it was perfect for me. Although now it doesnt do what I want it to. I want a really really lengthening which volumises to, but I cant seem to find the right one. Maybelline Great Lash is a mascara which I use sometimes use.

005 - Number 5 is an eyeshadow by Bobbi Brown. The colour is "Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow" and is perfect for a smokey look, the winter and when you want to wear a bright coloured lipstick. Eyeshadow doesnt suit me as my eyes are too small, but if I really want to wear one I would only use this one. it works well with my eye colour as it brings out the brown in them. I only use a little bit as if I coat it on it looks too dark and clogs up my eyelids. I really love this colour and is by far my favourite eyeshadow!

006 - Well, this 'lipgloss' is in fact a red lipstain which I sometimes use instead of my red lipstick, or I use it underneath. It was free in a magazine and I really like it. It is by Body Shop and is a lip and cheek stain. It doesnt have a colour, it is just very red.

007/008 - These two are from the Laura Mercier concealer set. There are two colours, one pale and one dark. It can be used for under the eye (which is very good and clears up your bags) and for blemishes etc. This is my favourite concealer, but I only wish it came in a stick as I hate uses a brush or my fingers when applying it.

009 - "Benefit" has won me over with this eyeliner as it lasts all day, is easily applyable, and has a thin brush so the line is nice and neat. Although it is a very good liner, the bottle is very small! It is a 2.5 ml bottle which is nothing... and you pay quite a lot for it too. The colour is "Jet Black" which is exactly the colour I want for an eyeliner.

010 - "Sexy Motherpucker" is an excellent brand which I adore, ecspecially the lipglosses! This 7ml bottle is a "Candy Gloss" colour with a delicious vanilla flavour. It makes me want to eat my mouth its so yummy. However, most people enjoy the tingling sensation of this gloss, but I hate it! It really hurts me when I put it on so I sometimes avoid wearing it. This lip plumping makeup is perfect. My mum and loads of my friends wear it, its very popular!

011 - Lastly we have a very pale item. This is a concealer ecspecially for underneath your eyes to cover up the dark circles or bags. It is by Helen E and I got it at the clothes show. I bought this, the concealer stick, eyeliner, lipgloss and foundation all for £8. Most of it is good but the foundation is not that great. It comes off very quickly :( However this under the eye concealer is very good and I use it all the time. Mine came in a little clear pot and I have quite a pale colour (It didnt include the colour name).

This is some of the makeup I use, (well the makeup I could put on my hand) and most of it is really good. I will be doing my first youtube video soon when I actually put my makeup on, get dressed and do my hair. I'm not sure what to do it on though? Any suggestions girlies? :) I will also be doing a fashion post for guys and say who are my male icons.

Until next time my lovelies xxxx

WHATS IN BAG

Today for me is a lazy day, as I am still in my pj's at 7pm. Yes I know, naughty *Slaps wrist* but I have had a busy week and am just doing plain nothing today, although I have tidyed my room and made my bed. I did get up at 12:30pm this morning which is very late, however I did go to bed at 2am after watching The Ring 2, which in fact wasnt that bad! Usually I am scared stiff of the girl but when I actually looked at her, she has quite a sweet, innocent face with just loads of black hair over her head. I did squeal at the part where she is quickly climbing up the well and her legs were above her head (very flexible!), and the part where she comes out the TV. Apart from that I wasnt frightened; I think its just the dark build up to the creep girl which horrifys me.

It is a boring Saturday filled with Playstation, Wii, TV and blogs! (Although blogs are not boring at all! - I enjoy blogging and searching through other blogs, ecspecially Zoellas.) Come Dine With Me is the only decent programme on TV, and this morning I had to resort to Antique Roadshow! I am watching a film with mum later called Tamara Drew, which is about a lady in journalism (right up my street). First of all I am watching Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban, although I find this one probably the worst out of the Potter films. I prefer the little cute adventures with Harry, Ron and Hermione when they are younger, and this is the one where they start to grow up. The film just doesnt seem to click with me, and bores me a little. However I definitely will watch it as any Harry Potter movie is good for me :) I am so tempted to read the books but I dont think I will be able to as they are incredibly thick! The books seem to get larger and larger as the books go on, which I dont think I will be able to cope with. Plus I know what happens in every one which is a shame as there is no suprise, which is all part of reading. I know it would be slightly different but the plot would be the same.

Well I will get onto the actual title of the post: What is in my bag? I haven't done a post like this before so I thought I would tell you about my day too as it would be quite a short post otherwise.


My brown little bag was purchased from the famous Primark. I was going to do my Black urban outfitters bag but I thought it was a little too Wintery and dull, although I do love it! My Primark bag was bought a couple of months ago, and for a while I thought nobody else had it, until I saw swarms of girls wearing it in the Summer.

This is what it contains:

001 - This is my H&M Guava Body Spray which I adore. The smell is gorgeous and I would rather wear it than perfume as it is so fruity. It seems to stay on quite well and serveral people have said I smelt nice which is good. I have only purchased it recently and it is quickly going down, maybe I shouldnt put as much on! The price was only £1.50 and I will definitely be getting so more after I have finished the bottle. I dont go anywhere without it now.

002 - This pink pouch includes a few medical things to help me in little emergencys. Well let me start with the nose drops Oh my goodness these are a life safer. If your are blocked up and you cannot even breath through your nose then this will clear you up completely. "Otrivine" may leave you convinced that you're cured, but dont let it fall you as the blocked nose will eventually come back. Just keep taking them and they will save you from feeling ill and disgusting; they save my life! Unfortunately I get headaches every day, and occassionally I get really bad migraines. Last time I had blurred vision (this is the first signs of a migraine for me), I took them and I didnt get a horrible horrible migraine. I dont know if they work really yet as I have only tried them once, but it reassuring to know that I have them just in case. I also carry around my travel sickness pills, paracetomal and ibroprofen, but they are not featured in this picture. I am very organised when it comes to medication haha.


003 - My Teen Vogue Handbook - ohh I am in love with this handy book, it is my little treasure! My brother Rob bought me this for Christmas this year and I had no idea that he was getting it for me. I was delighted to see that he had taken the time to think of something like this as I wouldnt expect him to. Usually the presents he buys for our family are just "yeah that will do" gifts (sorry but its true Rob). So Rob thank you very much for my lovely present... I love it. Everyone who uses it washes their hands before they touch this holy book as it means a lot to me. There are so many pages to it that every time I look at it, there appears to be another page I havent seen. It has taught me a lot about journalism, modelling, blogging, and has helped me look into the bigger picture of editing. This handbook comes with me everywhere as it is very handy when I have spare time if I'm out. Its so inspiring and tells me nearly everything I need to know about my dream job, it even includes which Universitys and colleges are best, how to be presentable and interesting at a job interview, and what little objects you will need on your journeys. If you are interested in fashion then this is perfect for you, and I can guarantee you will love it!


004 - My brown leather horse purse was a present for my birthday from mum and dad last year. I still love it now as it is quite unique and reflects me. Its from Miss Selfridge and was £18. I was too tight to by it for myself so I added it to my Birthday list :) I will always keep the purse as its perfect.

005 - My phone, what would I do without my phone?! Even though it was only £40 from Orange, I still love it. It has everything on there: fast internet, my emails, texts, minutes, a good camera. Its a really good phone considering it was very cheap. It doesnt look it but its a baby pink colour which is right up my street too!

006 - My sunglasses are from a stall in the Galleries called "Beast" haha. I got them years and years ago before rayban types glasses were really popular. They have a faint leopard print design on them but its hardly noticable. I carry them everywhere too as they always come in use.

007 - This is my Topshop Cosmetics bag which has lasted me a while. Next time I go shopping I am going to buy a leopard print makeup bag with ears on top. I have wanted this for ages and I am actually going to buy it. Anyway, this is what is in my makeup bag:


> I sometimes carry around the Batiste Dry Shampoo because it comes in a lot of use! I have the brown coloured spray because otherwise it is really white on my roots. I dont ever use it a lot but I have it just in case.
> The "Fat Hair" hair spray is quite good. It takes a lot to hold my hair when I have curled it but this seems to do the job. The small can is very useful when it comes to tucking into my cosmetics bag and acts as a life saver when my hair is falling flat and dull.
> My Laura Mercier is nearly all gone so I place this one is my bag when my eye bags come back or my spots become unrevealed. The new one is kept in my dressing table draw. This is probably the best concealer I have, and my mum also uses it.
> Vaseline: Well most people use vaseline dont they. I used to hate using this but in the Winter it really helps if my skin becomes dry. This pocket sized tin also fits nicely into my makeup bag.
> I do not go anywhere now without my brightly coloured lipsticks. They always come with me. The only time I am not wearing them is at school or when Im at home doing nothing. My orange, pink and red lip paint are the ones I take every time because they're my favourites! The more bold the better in my opinion.
> The Natural Collection Mascara is not very good at all, but when you use it on top of your existing mascara later on, it makes your lashes longer and thicker. It does a very good job actually.
> I also usually take eyeliner with me but for some reason it doesnt show up in the picture. My waterproof Rimmel eyeliner always comes off and its so irritating! It is suppose to be waterproof and yet it rubs off within a few hours of wearing it. I have to keep topping it up on the bottom of my eyes. Can anybody suggest a good eyeliner stick? :)

Well, what a long post this turns out to be! I have written a lot about each thing in my bag and I have probably bored you. This has taken me quite a long time to write because I am watching Tamara Drewe at the same time. It is actually very good, quite a lot of swear words, a fair bit of sexual content and just very funny! The young girls are so hilarious. I would recommend watching it guys and girls.
