My week...

1. My boyfriend making one of his crazy faces at me whilst trying to take a nice photo. 2. Food we ate at a cute little american diner. 3. My moustache nail transfers. 4. the only sunny-ish day this week. 4. Tiny bottle of wine. 5. Easter egg Craig (my boyfriend) bought me. 6. Banoffee cake thingy at the pub. 7. Rainy sunday afternoon in Lymington. 
So my week hasn't been to crazy, but I've been a bit busy with sorting out things for my photo shoot; which is tomorrow by the way! Eeeeek exciting. 
So at the beginning of the week I received my nail transfers and jeez they are amazing, I love them, so easy to put on and super cute. I really want to buy more and more of them, and wear them all the time. I also got given my Easter chocolate from my boyfriend, which was this amazing Hotel Chocolat chocolate, however pretty sickly so I haven't got very far with it!  
We went to the local pub at the weekend and had an amazing dinner, of Nachos, steak and finally an amazing banoffee cake thing, with vanilla ice cream. Uh-may-zing. 
Apart from all this eating and drinking wine, I have been buying clothes and researching 1950's model poses and makeup/hair styles. So busy busy busy! 
I'll let you know how the shoot goes tomorrow :)

Everyone loves a freebie

So I walked into my bedroom after work, to find a 'Kate Moss' branded bag, on my bed. After being a tad confused, I opened up the bag and found these beauties inside...


There was also a 'Playboy' branded body/hair wash for men inside, which I have given to a friend of mine who will hopefully like it.
Anyway whilst trying to work out why these were in my room, my dad shows up and explains how he got them from a TV job he did earlier in the day. The man he was working for owns a cosmetics company/supplier so after chatting for a while, he found out my dad has two daughters, so decided to make up this little pack for me. Which was very nice of him.


I tried the 'scandaleyes' mascara first of all, as I wanted to know how good it actually is! The brush is about 10 times bigger and thicker than I usually use, however after a few strokes I got used to it, and thankfully didn't poke myself in the eye!


(left) Eye before. (right) eye after.

The brush seemed to be a bit too big, as it has clumped my lashes together a bit, however it has 
lengthened them, which is pretty good. 
Not bad for free mascara. 
I'll try out the 'Perfect Match' soon and let you all know how good/bad it is.

Two days people, two frickin' days!

Until my photo shoot, I'm super excited, so excited that I bought this dress today. It is so nice that I'm going to keep it, as well as using it in my photo shoot....so here it is

 Excuse the black bra, I was so excited I forgot to change my bra colour. Also apologies for the grumpy face, I had a very hectic and long day at work. Got to love working in retail. 


I bought this beautiful 1950's style dress from the 'last chance to buy' section in Topshop earlier today, it was £45. It is quite expensive, however I think it's gorgeous! The orange colour made me a bit uncertain however my parents said it looked awesome, so I'll go with that! 


This dress combines the two things I love; pleated skirts and sleeveless shirts. Then I added the belt, to show off my waist, and paired it with my black New Look shoes, I bought the other day. 
I love this look and with summer coming I can't wait to wear it! 

Hope you've all had really good days.

Moustache nails?!

Today has been another quiet day, as I woke up late, watched 'This Morning' on ITV+1 and didn't actually get dressed until about 1pm...woops. 
However I have done something productive, as I signed up to the gym starting next Friday with my induction. I'm pretty nervous about it, as I'm the most unfit person however I need to get rid of my excess weight I have acquired over the last few months. 
This came to a head yesterday when I couldn't fit into my favourite Topshop jeans. Low point. 
But yeah that's happening, I'll keep you informed. 
Whilst watching 'This Morning' I heard the post drop through the door, to where I found my recent eBay purchase, which were these amazing nail transfers! They are of course moustaches, how could I resist!  They are from a great eBayer frazerd123. Who has so many of these nail transfers but all different designs at cheap prices!
I'll be trying these out soon.


I also went to see my boyfriend, who gave me my Easter chocolate, as I haven't seen him since he popped into work on Saturday. It's the best chocolate aswell because it's from Hotel Chocolat. Yummy.

Along with it was chocolate egg and soldiers, which taste amazing, along with tidily chicks, a small slab of caramel chocolate and also a chocolate bunny on a stick. My boyfriend is the best! 

Last but not least is today's photo from the outfits for my photo shoot...can you guess what it is?
5 days to go!


Hope you've has a great day
