I have finally got myself some vans!

I used to have purple ones but I never wore them as they didn't go with my  personal style. However I bought these black and white authentic ones yesterday and I couldn't be happier.


I bought them for the amazing price of £34.99, a whole £9 cheaper than usual because the boyfriend and I attended 'West Quays, student lock in', which basically meant you get discounts on quite a few of the shops in the complex. It wasn't really busy which I was pleased about, I wasn't up for queing outside shops, as you had to the first time they hosted this event.


We went into office, where I picked these up straight away, asked a lady for a size 3 and 4 as my feet are an odd size, and finally went for the 4's even though they slip a tiny bit, it's better than my foot being incredibly uncomfortable in the size 3's.
I mainly bought these shoes because I love that you can put them with everything and they are really comfortable, but also because I have joined a gym, as of this Friday. I needed some trainers and thought seeing as I wanted some anyway I could also use them for a gym! 
Perfectio!

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.
