Life through my lens #9.

Hello everyone, it's update time.

Like many of you, I am about to be plunged into my GCSEs. These are the biggest set of assessments I have ever done, which obviously makes them really important and I am determined to do as well as I possibly can.  This sadly means that blogging has to take a back seat (boo), but come my twelve week holiday (score) I will be back with full force!

So it looks like recently I have been eating lots of food, day tripping and obsessing over more clothes; not much change here then really! I can't say exams fill me with any joy at all, but I did feel like my French one on Monday went ok. I have History this Friday, all my Lit ones next week and then my second History one - the joys eh! I am however, seriously look forward to prom! I've got my dress and shoes, booked my hair, transport is sorted, so now I need to decide where to get my makeup done, let me now if you have any counter recommendations! 

I am going to try to continue blogging as often as I can, but I don't want it to become labored or a chore because that will just take all the fun out of it. Anyway, this has turned into a bit of a rambley one! Good luck if you are doing your exams; I'll see you on the other side. 

What have you been up too lately? Where did you get your prom makeup done?

OOTD #12

Hi dolls,
 This is what I wore on Thursday to watch the Great Gatsby (amazing film!). I really wish I had a flapper dress, dripping with embellishment and jewels to wear, and a cute cloche hat to effortlessly throw on, but sadly, my 21st century wardrobe let me down *sigh*. So I just had to make do with what I know best; a crop top and skater skirt!

 Earrings-Miss selfridge
Crop top- Primark
Necklace-Accessorize
Watch- Olivia Burton
Skirt- Primark
Tights- Tesco
Nike Blazers- Office

This outfit is buy no means groundbreaking, but I really like the overall look :)

This is definitely my new favourite necklace, its just perfect for jazzing up plain tops and popping undershirts to peak out of the collar.

I wanted a change from my converses for this outfit (shock horror!), do I decided to wear my Nike blazers, as I thought the khaki would complement the purple on my lips and my skirt nicely, and just make everything a bit more casual :)

Obviously, this wouldn't be one of my outfits without my beloved Olivia Burton watch :).

My nails didn't really go with my outfit which bugs me (yup I'm weird like that) but I really like them none the less. I used a new Maybelline shade from the color show collection (that's the milky pink shade) and Look beauty polish in `Bling` for the glitter :)

My make up was actually pretty experimental for me! Notice the lack of winged-liner? ;) I used my favourite scadaleyes shadow stick in Bulletproof beige and the MUA undress me too pallet on my eyes, of course with a generous flick of mascara. I also applied a slick of an MUA lipstcik in the shade 2, I really wish it had a name! 

My OOTD's will be outside again once the weather perks up (famous last words...) so I hope you don't mind my bedroom in the background!

The Great Gatsby was such an amazing film; the acting was perfect, the music wonderful and the costumes literally to die for! If you are stuck for something to do next weekend for whenever, go and see it!

In other news, it was my first day back at school today *boo* so I wont be able to post as frequently this week, but I will try my very best!

Have you seen the Great Gatsby? What do you think of my outfit?

A walk in the sun.

Hello lovelies, I have a life style post for you today :)

On sunday me and my family went for a walk to make the most of this beautiful weather! In England it's the law to rush to your local park/beach/garden and soak it up! We went to a place called emberton park, (like a lot of other people!) and just had a lovely wander around. 

How sweet are these little goslings?!

How have you been enjoying this weather?

My Easter.

Hi dolls!

I hope you've all had a lovely Easter and eaten a crazy amount of chocolate *reaches over to egg*
Sorry about my absence lately, but Ive been pretty busy!

As I have mentioned before, some of my family live in Wales, so this Easter we went to visit them :) Our cousins are a similar age to us, so we get on really well and its always nice to see them.

Travelling down ,I was really just dressed for comfort and warmth, but here's a cheeky car OOTD for you ;)

Leggings- Matalan, Top- Missguided

So we went down on good Friday, (obviously my school term finished on Thursday,) and stopped of at this really cute place called "Taurus crafts" which is all arty and has a really good cafe.

The cafe has this lovely conservatory area with vines wrapped around everywhere :)

They also had some really lovely paintings dotted around the place. 

It takes us about three or so hours to get to where our family live, so we just chilled when we arrived :)

On Saturday we went to a little place called St. Faggons, which is like a museum showing the way Welsh people used to live.

I just wore my beloved republic jeans and my eBay (Topshop) batman tee :)

At St. Faggons they had some really sweet farmyard animals; including some new born piglets!

Later on in the day we went too Cardiff! Ive never been to the capital before, but its a really lovely city. Of course we included some retail therapy in our trip, my Mum bought me some really lovely items from H&M for my birthday, which I will be blogging about later in the week :) On a side note, I am so impressed with H&M's summer range, everything is so nice! In the evening we at in prezzo's, which was seriously good :)

So on Sunday, we went down to a place called Lorenney quay for lunch in this gorgeous little cafe. I have to say it was cold, so we were all wrapped up!

Me and my lovely cousin Imogen :)

The quay

My Grandma cooked us a lovely roast this day as well :)

Yesterday really was crazy. We had to get up early and have breakfast, not something I like doing in hotels, but we had to get home, as I was going to see One Direction in the o2! I went with my Lovely friend Lauren, a friend of hers from her swimming club, and her parents :) This was my first concert and I had been looking forward to it for ages. I know One Direction aren't to everyones musical taste, but their show was so good! We were literally sat two rows from the back, but the atmosphere was so amazing; lets just say I had no voice by the end and my ears were ringing!

My ticket, I thought I'd lost it at one point, you can imagine the panic!

Lauren and me looking crazily washed out :)

Look how high we were!

 

The boys on stage

We didn't get back until about half one this morning, so today I'm going to be eating more chocolate, painting my nails and catching up on TV :)

What did you get up to this Easter?
