Whether its a breakup, you watch your path crumble underneath you and you wonder what happens now? How do I move onto the next path when I want to return back? But this is just the end of that path and memory. Now is the time for you to develop your new path based on this memory. You live and learn, memories are there too remind you of specific points in your life and the path you chose to take from there. Sometimes you can go down a dark, eerie path where you do things that maybe you wouldn't of normally, but this is your journey. Stop, say farewell and begin an adjacent path from the memories you have made and the lessons you have learnt. Sometimes saying farewell is seemed to be the final goodbye, but do you want this to be the final goodbye? Or are you just saying farewell to a chapter of your life that has no meaning to you anymore? Farewells don't always have to be the end, they are in your heart for you to reminisce and remember when you are truly ready. Some farewells are quite dark, that when reminiscing back to that period of your life it brings back that pain and emotion. But stop, you've said farewell and now it's a memory that's blossomed you onto the path you are on now.</span></div><h4 style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75); font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; line-height: 3.2rem; margin: 3.2rem 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: medium;">What's your favourite quote and why?</span></h4>Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11246751874159136766noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970571028331670264.post-91947004199593313962016-07-13T13:19:00.005-07:002016-07-13T13:21:44.266-07:00OOTW- "If I was you, I'd wanna be me too"Life is one big whirlwind right now; with working nearly 60 hour weeks, juggling coursework, stressing over coursework and trying not to spend uneccasry money on more clothes I definitely do not need (but I do need). Coffee is literally the love of my life right now- as well as Salted caramel green tea that is my life saver.<br />
<br />
But anyways back to business, last week I posted about the on trend Mom jeans and had such an overwhelming response that I hadn't expected. So this week I bring you two different styles on what to wear with them. From a retro quirky style, to a dressed up dinner date.<br />
<br />
<br />
Outfit one:<br />
<br />
The Topshop Style. A different quirky style with the Mom Jeans, I'm absolutely loving this Ivy Park bodysuit, something so simple that can be dressed up or down for any occasion.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Added with the on trend bomber jacket. Ive found these two preppy ones again from Topshop, I'm loving the bardot effect jacket on the right and the more blazer-ish style version on the left.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Team it up with this simple double buckle belt to go with the black shoes and keep within the simple vibe. However if your going out for a few drinks just be careful not to over do it on the belt, as like me you'll feel restricted in the stomach area. Don't let that belt stop you from pigging out!</div>

Then by adding a simple high heel your keeping that casual vibe with a hint of style and will also help elongate your body. I always wear heels with jeans as being small it helps add a few more inches and also helps me look more hour glass than a potato as I constantly seem to feel right now. Or simply add a pair of classic trainers to go to day time chilled glamour.<br />
<br />
<br />
Outift two: You pretty little thing<br />
Pretty Little Thing is my go to clothing site at the moment with its small price tag and effortless simple style. You'll also find the likes of Ferne McCann and Vicky Pattinson use this website too.<br />

The bodysuit is the most go to top to wear right now. Style it up or down- the only down side is when your drunk and having to undo it. Although at least you know your top is styled how you want it.<br />
Then the simple slogan t-shirt to add a relaxed vibe, something you can just chuck on without worrying whether it goes or not.<br />

Adding a simple cream sandel helps add a touch of summer and can easily go with any outfit you throw it with, whether day or night time.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed my outfit style of the Mom Jeans x<br />

There's something revitalising going in to the salon realling off your countless pointless stories about how your boyfriend embarrassed you by pulling your top down in public or even that one girl that irritates you for how perfect she is. You go in an uneasy, stressed, judgmental nikki grahame wannabe and end up leaving like Blake Lively out of the l'oreal adverts walking the concrete pavement like a catwalk.<br />
<br />
Well today it was my day for a change and trust me I change my hair more times than my weight fluctuates. In earlier entries you would of seen my hair being; peroxide blonde, ombre, black and dark brown. Though the one colour or even trend I always return to is ombre- its something so subtle and so simple to maintain.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4hQ4Gq4D4oqVIGzqjg72AvpnQA9pC2Zghrtfu7HArMs5DlvBxzSq7xYFq8hLKrtbAqMcfSW88k33GNIKsHos81YIF0K2rSZr3_P_yO7Q7DdK2G49LGBHkzd3YoLWWg6sCd3uyaBvlsw/s1600/IMG_6199.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4hQ4Gq4D4oqVIGzqjg72AvpnQA9pC2Zghrtfu7HArMs5DlvBxzSq7xYFq8hLKrtbAqMcfSW88k33GNIKsHos81YIF0K2rSZr3_P_yO7Q7DdK2G49LGBHkzd3YoLWWg6sCd3uyaBvlsw/s400/IMG_6199.PNG" width="225" /></a></div>
<br />
Jess Wright, former TOWIE star, has the perfect ombre hair at the moment as well as the perfect bikini body, but that's another entry. I went into the hairdressers fantasying in my head my face on her body and the euphoric stance I would have.<br />
<br />
<br />

<span style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">I originally had yellowy blonde hair which I just had highlighted by someone 3 weeks ago as I wanted to be more blonde. Then when they finished I was too blonde and I missed having bad roots- I can never ever be pleased. In my head I felt like a fire that couldn't be put out.. maybe this could relate to my intensive mood swings at the moment (my poor boyfriend).</span><br />
<br />
Maddie, my infectious hairdresser, put the brown on my hair first and then did a darker blonde on the ends to tone down the blonde I originally had on my hair. Otherwise I'd have brown roots and yellow ends and unfortunately that trend has already been done by Hayley Williams and that was a definite no go.<br />
<br />
Inititally the colour did come out too dark but my hair absorbs dye, like my pale skin absorbs the sun, so after a bleach bath the colour was then toned down. For me this is a massive change considering I walked in pale and yellowed haired I was now leaving ombre'd and feeling like Beyonce.<br />

I'm not however a selfie expert like the majority of my friends- i just take a million photos in a similar position hoping for the best. Though here is the final look and I love it!!<br />
<br />
<br />
I will post another photo in a few weeks when the colour has faded and when me and Jess have stopped fighting over the next heart throb of essex.

THREE YEARS?! Where has these three years gone; I left university after a year (lets not dwell on that), went back to working in the cafe with my sister, left there to work in a call centre, returned back to the cafe six months later and here I am now. But there has always been that what if.. what if I carried on writing where would i be now? Could I have had my own column, my work published or even brought my first bmw... here's hoping. Anyways I'm back studying an online freelance journalism course and back to what I love doing the most nattering on about fashion, lifestyle and beauty.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Mom Jeans</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
Ever get them days when you don't have a clue what to wear, feel frumpy and horrible in everything. Then chaos descends in your room with the stress of your new added floor-drobe you've created as you don't feel comfortable, able to breathe, skinny, or not as good as Mila Kunis would in your outfit.<br />
Well that's me every time I go out-which trust me is a rare blue moon occasion now a days. Unlike my former 16-18 year old self, I'd much prefer going out in a pair of comfortable-yet bum hugging jeans with a stylish top and jacket. Obviously with heels as I feel like a smurf without them.<br />
<br />
Mom jeans are my go to item at the moment. High waisted are my favourite as they ensure all my lumps are hidden and gives that hour glass illusion. Then a simple straight leg so you don't feel as though your being smothered or restricted in denim.<br />
My favourite at the moment are these Topshop Jeans at £42;<br />

I'd be lying if I said nothings happened, cause lets be honest every day is a different day; lessons are learned and slowly things around you start to change. Though only you can make the change to benefit you whether good or bad. Lessons are there in life for you to understand certain situations, even though it will hurt and feel like the whole world is against you at first, in time you slowly start to build up a sense of understanding to what's happened.<br />
<br />
Break ups are never easy, anyone can tell you that. The moment you start to realise things aren't working is the moment you have to start to realise your own worth again. In a relationship your meant to bring out the best within each other and optimize your strengths and manage your weaknesses. It's like having a best friend but having a more intimate relationship with your partner. I find it so hard to open up to people as I'm so used to the bitterness that unfolds after a relationship, which is my downside. Every relationship happens for a reason- I strongly believe in this, whetehr it breaks you down and tears you apart, there's something within the hurt that will optimize you in the future. Whether it's cheating or lying these are the main elements that blind your judgement when your in your next relationship. Your trust within someone takes longer to give which may seem like you have no faith in them, but it's not like that at all. With every knock on your confidenece is another reason for you to slowly lose faith whether its on yourself or on certain people. I've learnt the easier you give your trust out the easier it is for people to take advantage of your trust.<br />
<br />
Coming from a generous and loving family has benefited me alot, I know the value of everything they have and how hard they worked to where they are now. On the other hand the genrous side of my family has seen people take us like mugs and just get what they need out of us and walk away without a care in the world. In the end I wouldnt change the way we are, people see in the end that we just look at the good in people and try to reassure them that things will get better in time. <br />
<br />
In the end it always comes down to that one decision, do you follow your head or heart? Your head is the stearn realistic view on the situation at hand and tries to make you realise the implicantions in going back or into something. On the other hand your heart is the more lineiant view trying to give away that next chance and see the positives from the situation. Sometimes pain is a sense of torture; without overcoming it, it gets stronger and harder to go back to where you first begun.Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11246751874159136766noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970571028331670264.post-5938108236434992462013-06-19T12:05:00.001-07:002013-06-19T12:05:31.304-07:00"Nothing lasts forever""Keep your head up, nothing lasts forever", I'm sure at some stage in your life you've heard this well known saying when a relationship or friendship has broken down or changed. Some things only come to an end because situations/environments have changed or people grow up and start to realise their worth- whether bad or good. Kelly Clarkson, the first American Idol winner, is well known for her constant battles with her weight and her straight to the point heart felt lyrics, that even inspired me as a teenager. There's always that one song that will adapt to a situation that you are in at some stage in your life and once you hear it that memory will be stored within your mind and with that song forever.<br />
<br />
"It's hard to get high when your living on the bottom", for a while now I've been very insecure about the way I look or feel- this isn't directly aimed at anyone this is just me. With the way the world is everyone is stereotyped into a certian class or group now a days rather than just being seen as themselves. I always put others before me and would rather see happiness in others than myself as thats what makes me happy- we are well known for this in my family. Kelly Clarkson's battle with her weight is seen alot more within America as that's where she began her carear. People change depending on the way their life is structured-but if your happy with the way you look/feel why should others critise you or judge? So what your not as skinny as Rihanna? You are who you are for a reason and only you can find that happiness in yourself that others can then see.<br />
<br />
I always find myself listening to Kelly when I'm in a really deep mood and just want to relax and listen to something that has some lyrics to relate to. My sister is a massive fan of her's too, so this is where my love for the singer has stemmed from. Don't get me wrong I love Rihanna, Rita Ora etc- but I love having that one singer that you can put their album on and relate your feelings to the lyrics. It's as though your piecing a jigsaw puzzle of your emotions with lyrics to truly have that sense of understanding with what's going on in your mind.<br />

<br />
Her new single "People like us" is one of my favourite songs right now, it has a pop rock kinda feel with some hard hitting lyrics. It's almost like a pick me up song, it made me feel inspired to not be afraid to be weird or quirky- life is your own story you make the chapters how you want. Now a days people would rather stick with the norm than be who they truly are as they are scared to be accepted, so what? If people don't like it, don't change to fit in with what they think is right, there is no right or wrong within society. The media portrays different bodies in different ways, but all that should matter within life is that your happy within yourself and who you are-rather than being happy to suit others.<br />

"People like us we've got to stick together keep your head up nothing lasts forever"Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11246751874159136766noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970571028331670264.post-10345693710422758682013-06-03T12:53:00.000-07:002013-06-03T12:53:15.442-07:00Lucy Mecklenburgh - That bikini bodyThe days of slobbing about in my ridiculously small university bed with my flat mates have entirely left my life. They've now been replaced with working tiring and busy split shifts and the odd naps here and there. Though the one thing that's keeping me sane for working these ridiculous hours is the thought of my first girls holiday ever! Excited isn't the word! The one thing that's bringing me down is having the perfect bikini body, I'm not the skinniest of girls and I do have curves. I don't want to lose my shape or curves but just get more toned and have that PERFECT flat stomach, not much eh?<br />
<br />
My inspiration is Lucy Meck from TOWIE. In last nights opening episode we saw her wow the entire cast aswell as us the audience with her amazing and flawless body. Since splitting from Mario Falcone we have seen her set up her own website 'Results with Lucy' to encourage people to get more toned and feel good about themselves just like the beauty herself. After seeing her in that episode I've been totally drawn in espeically with her 'Abs like slabs' challenge, which if I achieve or get even a little bit close to her abs I will be ecstatic.<br />
<br />
Starting from tomorow I'm going to start running either early in the morning or later in the evening and then do the Abs workout twice a day and see how I go. I will probably be a moaning murtel about it all but it will all be worth it in the end, I'm sure. I'll do weekly updates to track my progress and see how well I actually do. But until then these pictures will spur me on:<br />

I'm starting to feel regulated now by having a routine of work, although I miss the hustle and bustle of uni life. It's too quiet and calm whereas I'm so used to the noise and the manic spur of the moment events that occurred. I do really miss Southampton; my girls and the shopping (of course) and also the independence I had there, I'll be returning soon though sure enough. Here are my outfits of the week:<br />

I love making my blog more diverse by adding my own personal elements to it and making it my own.<br />
<br />
They say insecurtites can make you or break you- you either face your fear or let it haunt you forever. Everyone has something about themselves or something they are insecure about, especially me. I like to try and hide what scares me the most behind a smile, as I believe your insecurities are something so personal to you. They're something that can stop you from being happy or even prevent you from achieving something within your life. "Always wear your heart on your sleeve" that's what they say- but doesn't that show a sense of weakness sometimes? Knowing someone can see and feel how much emotion you have towards them or something within your life. However it can show a sense of confidence and passion towards someone that your not afraid to embrace.<br />
<br />
One of my biggest insecurities may seem like something so stereotypical, but to me it's something that prevents me from showing my emotion. If your a regular reader of my blog you would've seen my last post "Oh if you could see me now" talking about the absense of my dad within my life. Having such a female orienated growing up seemed normal and taught me alot. I learned heartbreak from my sister and the stress of being a lone parent from my mum- so I felt as though I grew an immunity from the pain after seeing it first hand, I was wrong.<br />
<br />
Not having that dominant male role model within my life I find it difficult to open up or even get close to another male, as I believe they are just gonna either walk away or hurt me in the end. It's a bad way to look on life, but when that one important man in my life couldn't and wouldn't stick around then why should another?<br />
<br />
I learnt from my family to put everyone else before yourself, peoples happiness and positivity made them happy, regardless what they were feeling. The one time I began to open up and slowly grew to know someone I had it thrown back at me like it was worthless- as if I had disappointed or hurt them. But I hadn't, they just hurt me out of their own stupidity and insecurity knowing I would just continue how we were, and stupidly I did. They never believed in a good thing happening to them, so when they had something good they had to break it to see the pain. I wanted to show we could work through it and piece the puzzle back together- but when the pieces of a different jigsaw are brought together its innevitable that it can never be fixed.<br />
<br />
Putting your heart,soul and yourself into someone is a massive thing for anyone to give away- to show yourself off like a piece of art for people to judge you. Opinions will be made, jealousy maybe created or even that sense of emotion that can influence someone inside.<br />
<br />
Insecurities aren't there to break you down, they're there for you to learn and slowly grow from previous experiences. To show you a different way of dealing with certain situations, and not make you feel as though it's your fault or who you are. Never change yourself to be more like someone else to deal with your insecurity- this is what I learnt. Trying to act confident when your so self conscious will just cause more pain, as that's not who your made to be. Everyone is different in their own beautiful way, the way you deal with things says alot about you and your heart. So what if you get scared over the tiniest thing, that shows your heart, your emotion and your inner insecurity. Insecurities are like a goal that only you yourself can work to find out the route to understand them, people may stand in your way and cause some obstacles, but only you will find a way to tackle their doubts from your path.<br />

YES! To say I'm relieved is an understatement but I still have to await my final grades to see if I've made it into my second year. Although after returning back home now for the summer it feels so strange, especially not being: woken up at different hours of the night from the noise, the fire alarm going off or people coming in from a night out. It's silent, pure bliss what anyone wants- but it is so surreal. Unfortunetly I wasn't able to pack everything into my three suitcases I brought home, they all contained clothes and jewellery, so my nail varnishes were left behind. Que me buying more- my addiction for nail varnishes gets worse and worse. Here are my latest nail varnish purchases:<br />

With patterns and neon being a big trend for this Spring/Summer this is the perfect way to stand out from the crowd and perfect for any festival. All you need is two coats of each polish and that's it, so easily to apply and doesn't take long at all to dry. Probably my favourite nail polishes I've brought in a long time! And with all makeup and beauty products being 3 for 2 at Superdrug it's definitely worth popping down!<br />

Although with two more big assignments left I'm not thinking about summer just yet otherwise I'll go off on a tangent and avoid the amount of work I still have left. With only a few days now till the end of first year it's clear that summer is just round the corner for me. But before that the uni work NEEDS to be done, so maybe I should switch off Hollyoaks and continue where I left off. Here are my favourite outfits of the week:<br />

With my first year of university slowly coming to an end in 10 days (where have the past few months gone?!) the stress of the amount of work I still have to do is mentally draining me. As it's bank holiday you'd expect with this weather me to be in a beer garden with my favourites just relaxing, but instead I'll be in the library or in my room finishing off my last two units. Wish me luck, here's my outfit of the day:<br />

Although with the 7 hour coach journey back to Southampton tomorrow maybe I will start to crack on with my uni work. Here are my outfits of the week:<br />

Finally the weather is starting to slowly get better and I'm so excited. Summer is about the sunshine, BBQ's, being with friends and of course the copious amounts of alcohol and beer garden sessions. Though with summer must come your new summer wardrobe, que dungarees. As a child everyone used to own a pair of dungarees but with the 90's being one of the key trends for this Spring/Summer, be sure to have your pair! Whether short or long you decide, here are a few of my favourites:<br />

I didn't even realise that the Topshop sale started yesterday, but with delight when I strolled into the store I saw what to me was heaven, though to my bank card was pure sin. I started to pile items upon items onto my arms till I slowly started to refrain myself and only buy the items I liked the most or I had been wanting for a while. Here was my outcome:<br />

I was annoying everyone with me telling them day after day how many days and hours was left till the big day, but when the day finally came I couldn't of asked for a more perfect day.The boyfriend came round at half 11 as he wanted to be there when it was finally my birthday-soppy but very cute. Then the rest of the morning was spent with my mum as she FINALLY had a whole day off, so it was nice to have a catch up. Later at night I went for a meal at Toros, which is a steak house in Rothwell which is absolutley beautiful. I especially recommend the Strawberry wine! I went with my closest friends and family and was surprised at the end with a homemade Chanel handbag birthday cake which was delicious.<br />
<br />
I was then whisked back to town where I was ushered downstairs to see my friend had organised a suprise birthday party with a few of my favourite people, cue me walking in when One Direction was playing- Loved it. After a disgusting dirty pint and alot of drinks the night was over, all I ever wanted was to spend my 21st with the people I cared about the most and I did. However the one person I was wishing was there wasn't, my best friend Chloe- she's been in Australia since September so I was so excited for her return. Though she was offered a two year visa if she was to stay out there till July, and of course she was gutted she couldn't be here- as was I. Although this means when she returns the celebrations will be starting all over again! Here are a few pictures from my birthday:<br />

After one of my best weekends at home it was time to do the tedious long journey back to Southampton. I celebrated my 21st birthday on the Friday and my hangover is still lingering over me- I have my friends and family to thank for this with them buying me a dirty pint. I wanted to wear something comfortable for the journey but also try some of my new clothes out.<br />
<br />
Oversized Baseball Top- Topshop<br />
Spiked Necklace- Primark <br />
Blazer- Primark<br />
Leggings- Topshop<br />
Coloured Metallic Socks- Urban Outfitters<br />
All Star Trainers- Converse<br />
<br />
I love this Topshop top, its so versatile and can be worn with absolutely anything day or night! They now do it in black as well, I may have to purchase it.Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11246751874159136766noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970571028331670264.post-24964208135161637372013-04-08T09:02:00.001-07:002013-04-08T09:02:08.897-07:00Oh if you could see me now..This is a totally different post to what you would expect from me, this is something more personal to me. Everyone has that one song that is really personal to them and has a special meaning. Music is a way for people to escape from their own problems into their own little worlds, although you can use music as a way for you to relate a song to an issue.<br />

I've been in love with The Script now for years and I love the fact I can now have a weekly fix of Danny O'Donaghue on The Voice. "If you could see me now" is their latest single and I've totally fell in love with it, there's something so special about this song that really does touch me. It reminds me so much of me and my family and in a sense it gives me that sense of strive to make them so proud. I'm really close to my mum, sister and brother, they are my main inspirations and heroes in life. I've never met my dad before, neither do I know much about him either, of course I'm curious but life's the way it is for a reason right? I don't understand why he never wanted to be involved in my life, but that was his decision- part of me wishes he could see me now or in 5 years and see how well I am doing/hopefully will be doing. Not to prove a point that he's missed out on my life, but just so he could see how hard I've worked for what I'm doing and see that I don't hold a grudge against his decision; but my mother, sister and brother did the best job I could've ever asked for raising me. Part of me wishes I could see what he was doing with his life, but from an outside view so he wouldn't know who I was- to him I'm just another soul on this planet whereas in reality I could've been his little girl. The bond with my mother, sister and brother is ridiculous; I truly couldn't ask for a more supportive or caring family. This song just makes me think what would my dad think if he saw me now or in the future? Would he be proud? Or would I just be another human on this planet to him?<br />

Since coming home from university I finally got my nails done after 3 months without acrylic nails, it feels good to have some decent sized nails that I can try out different ideas on. But of course I love how elegant and nice they make your hands look, it may sound strange but I always think my fingers are slightly bent and having my nails done makes them seem straighter.. weird I know.<br />
<br />
When I first got my nails done they were done in the Stiletto style, which has been made famous by the likes of Rihanna and Lady Gaga. At first I was a bit scared yet excited when I had them done as they looked amazing, though they were slightly sharp, also I was worried to how I would adapt to them as it was as though I would scratch anything I came in contact with.<br />
<br />

After a few days I filed them so they werent as sharp and I found them so much more manageable. Usually I get the typical square acrylics, but I find this style is so much more maintainable and natural.<br />
<br />
Like always I get bored so easily of the colour of my nails, so I changed the black to a lavendar colour to try and get a sense of summer within me, shame the weather isnt keeping up.<br />

Then today whilst out shopping I treated myself to Barry M's latest "Gelly Shine" nail varnish as well as Rimmel's "Precious Stone" varnish. I completely love the final result of them! The Barry M nail varnish went on and it was as though I had applied a top coat straight after as it was shiny already. Also the Rimmel varnish I found after two coats gave me an even coverage of glitter on the nail. Then as always I used '2true' top coat to ensure I had a beautiful shine on my nails.<br />

I'm sorry if you pulled the short straw and had to work, I feel your pain. I can't remember the last bank holiday I had off, but with having a night club job I'm always free to do what I want in the days and then just busier later at night, however the late nights turn into you sleeping the day away and wasting your bank holiday weekend. Well that's what I did, after getting ridiculously drunk last thursday- it was my only chance to go out and celebrate of course- the days have seemed to murge into one. I do love my job I work in a good team and one of the best nightclubs in town- the atmosphere is always electric! Although with easter bank holiday comes the whole dressing up perlarva, however I agreed to dress up, but in a classy way.<br />

This is Vicky, Becci and myself bank holiday sunday ready for work. Becci did our makeup and our teeth on our bottom lip looked so realistic it was scary! Not only did it make us laugh we also entertained the customers too!<br />

I love eyes and the uniqueness of one persons to another, whether it's a different colour or shape. I always, without fail wear mascara as I feel naked without it, although it doesn't help that I have blonde eyelashes either! Normally I use about 5 mascaras to get volume thick lashes, but I wanted to be able to narrow it down to one or two, as it is quite expensive. I came across Rimmel's 'Lash Accelerator Endless' mascara and with the price tag of £7.99 in Superdrug it seemed like a bargain. <br />

I love the simplism of this mascara, how it merely takes two coats to get this effortless look. It didn't go all gloopy or come out to thickly either, it had a thin layer of mascara on the applicator to ensure you lashes were evenly separated and coated. I definetly recommend this mascara to anyone!</div>

I'm still catching up with my mountain of university work aswell as finding work/internships for the summer and mountaining the job I have at the moment. Although being home is the best feeling in the world, to not only come back to my king size bed and proper food but to also see my loved ones that I've missed. I'm one of them girls that likes to change their hair everytime I go to the hairdressers as I get bored so easily, Maddie always loves the challenge of doing something new to my hair and does it with beauiful results. However this trip to the hairdressers resulted me going back to my favourite hair trend, ombre and trying something different. In the salon I regularly go to in my hometime called Russos they are doing an offer on Micro Bond hair extensions for £190, including 2 free blow dries which is a bargain! As normal retail price for the extensions and fitting can cost up to £300, and Laura my friend that does them in the salon has been fully trained in putting them in. Since having my hair cut short I've always been a bit oo and ahh whether to get extensons,but I never did. But hearing about these extensions I was determined to get them.<br />

This was my hair <b>before</b> I had anything done to it, it's been this length for a while now and it doesn't seem to want to shift.<br />

And this is the final result! I completly love them, they didn't take as long as I thought to put in as I was expecting to be there all day. They didn't hurt either to put in and they do feel like real hair aswell. Since having them done I've had my hair to one side plaited so they dont get tangled at night and to also keep the curl in my hair. Definetly worth it, and they should last between 2-6 months depending on how well you look after them, I'm aiming for 6 months!<br />

Though as I love experimenting with outfits so much I thought I would do a styling post with what I would wear with a certain outfit. This is my first time in doing this so just bare with me! Hopefully you like the results, fingers crossed! I've done a dressed up and an everyday look for this outfit so you get your value for money with this dress, which is important as i'm a student. Tomorrow I will do the dressed up look for this outfit but for now here is my everyday look, enjoy! <br />

I wanted to add a sense of vibrance to this outfit and with this gloomy cold weather, I wanted to add a jumper or a cardigan for a warm comfortable look. Then adding a simple ring so you dont draw away from the pattern of the dress and style of the jumper. I then added some simple shoes, either pumps for an elegant look and if the weather is warm of course. Or even some high top trainers for a sense of comfort and that edgy feel.<br />
<br />
Hope you like this outfit, let me know what you think!<br />

I have never missed any of my siblings birthday's before so I'm gutted I have to miss hers, although when I'm back next week I have a few surprises up my sleeves for her. I'll keep you posted on them! In my last OOTW entry I was saying how the sun is starting to rear its head again, but unfortunately I was very wrong. It was so cold and dull last week my bed became even more tempting to hibernate in. Here are my four favourite outfits of the week:<br />
