A new show

I just got back from going to see a play with two of my friends in a tiny little theater in our town. There was probably 10-15 people watching it and 10 people in the play and you know what? It was really fun! It was so nice to do something different and creative in my town, where most of the time all you can do is go shopping, and after 15 years i think I've browsed every shop possible!
So I just thought i'd make a blog post encouraging anyone out there who is possibly reading this and feeling bored in their own little towns! Go out and find a theater or a record store, or some vintage stores and try something new! You never know, you might love it! and if not, at least you can say you've tried!

My bracelet collection

I have recently decided that I am going to try and buy a bracelet every time I go to a different country! So far I have, Poland, Amsterdam, Cornwall and Cyprus (given to me by a friend so kind of cheating but still!). The funny thing is, I bought one bracelet on a polish market, you'd think no one else would possibly have the same one and I know two people so far who have the same one!! Come on! Thats just unlucky.

Trick or Treat?!

So Halloween is coming up and as one of my favorite holidays I am excited already! So i am having a party with a few of my friends and of course as it has to be, it is fancy dress. I am going as a witch, i have just a plain black dress and a mini witches hat on a head band. It's quite a simple outfit so i'm really looking forward to being able to go really out there with the makeup and hair! Glitter here i come.

Sorry i haven't posted in agggeeesss!

What a dilemma?!

As someone who is (attempting) to play the guitar but also as someone who loves their nails i now have the dilemma that i need to cut my nails really short to play guitar, dun...dun...DUUUNNN.
I am going to cut them really short because playing the guitar is something i have always wanted to do i just thought i would put a couple of tips for if you want to make your nails look longer etc
Soo...
1) make sure you keep your nails healthy, then if you have an event or something in a couple of days and you want your nails long for it, they are healthy and will grow quickly.
2) Do a french manicure with a fine white tip. You don't want the white tip to be really thick or it will take up half of your nail already! But if you make it fine it makes it look like you actually still have the white tip, rather than your nails being too short!
3) Keep your nails painted, similar to tip 2 it just covers up the fact that you don't have the white tip because that is one of the main things that shows you have really short nails.

If all else fails just wear an awesome bracelet and no one will even care about your nails!!

Fancy Dress

One of the main reasons i love Halloween is because it's fancy dress and basically any party i'll have I will try and make it fancy dress! I don't know why i love it so much i just do, i think its the creativity and artiness mixed in with fashion, it's brilliant!
My friends birthday party is coming up and she's having a circus theme, which i think will be great! She's going as the ring master which makes sense as it is her party! So i need to decide on my costume. It's actually quite hard to think of things to do with the circus which will still look nice, I'm thinking a lion tamer and have a stuffed animal lion with me, or lion tamer and my friend whose also going can go as the lion!
This is going to take some thinking about...

Back to school!

It was my first day back at school today, and I really was not looking forward to it! It's not that I don't particularly like school. I just love the holidays! It really wasn't that bad after all. I'm not exactly now in love with my school, and I definately wouldn't say no to another holiday, but I feel a lot more focused on work this year. I just feel like I have a better work ethic so hopefully i'll pass my gcse's and then i'll be in sixth form, where you don't have a uniform! I cannot wait!!

Home sweet home!

I got back from Amsterdam earlier today and as usual it's nice to be back in good old England! 

As I said earlier I would post about what I bought when I went shopping so here you go. (I actually kept my promise about a post for once!)

I got a black rubber bracelet in a lace-ish pattern which I am in love with! I doubt I will take it off anytime soon! I also got just a plain friendship bracelet type thing, now I have a bracelet like that from about 5 different countries!

I also got a small ring which has strawberries around it, random I know! If you saw it, it would probably sound less ugly!

And of course, because I can't go out without buying a pair, I got 2 pairs of sunglasses!! One with the Burberry type of pattern all over them, and another pair which were just plain black apart from the sides had leopard print on them.

Farewell! Have a good day! <3

My favorite designer.

So as i'm sure you can guess by the title! This post is going to be about my favorite designer, the wonderful..

Zuhair Murad
He does mainly evening dresses and very elegant extravagant clothes. And they are all stunning! Cheryl Cole wears a lot of his dresses, and despite not being a big fan of hers, i have to admit she wears some beautiful dresses! Blake Lively (Serena from Gossip Girl) wears my favorite one of his dresses in an episode of GG. (picture on right)
In his autumn 2010/2011 collection i think is was (as i said in another post, my internet's not very good so i can't check, but i think it was that one) He used a lot of lace and grey silk, and with my strong feelings about grey being a underrated colour, i think they are all beautiful!

Whenever anyone asks me what would i buy if i won the lottery, one of things i always say is a Zuhair Murad dress! We can all dream can't we!?

iPod Disaster!

I used the word disaster in the title, because I can't think of a more fitting word, but it wasn't exactly a life or death problem, just really, really, really annoying.

The one thing I love and always take with me when i go out, more so than my phone, is my iPod.
The other day when we were getting ready to leave for Amsterdam I had deleted a playlist off my iPod, but I thought when I synced it with Itunes, it would go back on their rather than deleting the one off Itunes! That was the playlist that i had all my music on my iPod on, and now it is gone! So basically I have about half the amount of music I should have on my iPod. Including a significant amount of my favorite songs!

Ahh well, I shall have an Ituning session when i get home and try and remember what I used to have on my iPod and put it back on there!

Wish me luck!
