The Liebster Award

Hey people, hope you are all doing great. 

So now I should have done this post a long while ago, but things got in the way & in all honesty thinking of 11 questions was tough. But here I am with my Liebster Award post. Thank you to Issy  and Dany for the nominations, both was a great surprise and I do appreciate it :)! Me and my Blog love you both lots. 



The rules are as follows:

2. My best friend is also my boyfriend.
3. My birthday is August 7th and I am a Leo.
4. I collect Classic Disney Movies on DVD. I am obsessed with Disney.
5. When I put the volume on my Ipod dock, it has to be on a multiple of 5. Except for night time when it stays on 3 until I fall asleep and it turns itself off. 
6. I've never had my own room... But that shall change in August when my sister moves out. 
7. I worked for Amazon. Sound glamorous? - it really wasn't.
8. I very rarely wear my hair up, I just don't think it suits me.
9. I am obsessed with my Ipod, god I love it. Temple Run, Sims, Simpson's Tapped Out, Words with Friends, Instagram, Little Things... It's all beautiful.
10. I love playing Pool & Snooker. 
11. I like my own company and get irritable when I'm around a large group of people for a long amount of time.

1. What's your favourite meal?
Oh i have two favourite meals, one healthy, one not so healthy haha. I love Jacket Potato with tuna, sweetcorn, mayo and salad. My unhealthy one - Gammon Steak, chips, onion rings and peas. Nom!
2. Post the favourite photo you've ever taken, and why is it your favourite?
Now i do adore this picture, it's not the best quality but i love it!
It's myself and my boyfriend, before we were together at the pub of course just hanging out for the second time outside of work.
As we met each other at work.

I just think it is a great picture.
& can you tell we're both just a little bit tipsy?

3. What's your favourite cocktail?
I haven't tried to many cocktails, to be honest I'm a lager drinker... But I do like a nice WooWoo!
4. What's your favourite book?
I'm not a great reader but if I think back to when I was at school. I loved Darren Shan Cirque De Freak - It's about Vampires, before Twilight came and ruined the Vampire name. But I also love The Twits by Roald Dahl, but then again all of his books are amazing!
5. If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you love to go?
Right now I would be with all the people I love, somewhere hot and sunny. How about on an All Inclusive holiday in Spain, that would do me just great :)
6. What's you essential wardrobe item?
Leggings. I love them, so comfy & go with practically anything!
7. What song would/did you have at your wedding?
Ooh so many I could choose from. I can't think right now but i love Everything - Michael Buble. 
8. Who's your favourite comedian?
Lee Evans without a doubt, I love him. But also Miranda Hart is hilarious!
9. What do you love most about where you live?
Plain and simple, that it's home. There's not a great deal to love about where I live, but it's home & I do love it. 
10. How did you choose your blog name?
Very stupidly, without thinking about it a great deal. 
11. Would you prefer to have a dog or a cat as your household pet?
I have a cat, but I would definitely prefer a dog, and I know when I have my own place. I will have a dog!

11 Questions from Dany - Bluebells & Owls
1. If you could go back in time, would you choose a specific era in History? if so, which one and why?

Right now, this is a tough one. But I'm going to say the 60's. For the music, being around my age now in the 60's would be amazing, with the music like The Beatles, The Jam, The Who etc... It would be amazing.
2. What do you like to do on a Sunday evening?

Have a nice Sunday roast, maybe have a nap. Listen to some music, watch a film, just chill out.
3. If you could have a superpower, what would it be?

I'd fly definitely, imagine all the amazing places you could go and visit. Would be awesome.
4. What do you like the most about blogging?

Freedom, to write about anything you like. And getting those really lovely comments off people you actually know how took time to read what you have to say. Makes it all worth while.
5. Name two of your life goals.
Very honest answer now. To visit every State in America & to be a mother. 
6. Do you speak any other languages?

As much as I would love to, I don't.

To all old friends - Why did we have to grow apart?
8. What is/was your favourite subject at school?

Art, Child Development & History. History the most, so fascinating. 
9.  Is there any movie or book that has changed your life in a significant way?

No, in all honesty. Crap answer...
10. What is your favourite Holiday?

St Ives with all my family in a big house. It was perfect.
11. Do you have a quote that you live by?

Not so much I live by, but I think this quote is amazing. "That's the best revenge of all, happiness. Nothing drives people crazier than seeing someone live a good fucking life"

Passion for Fashion Money Supermarket Blogger Competition

Hii Guys, 
Hope you're all doing well, I've still got a cold and feeling very under the weather at the moment. 
Today I am taking part in the Money Supermarket Blogger Competition. 
The idea of this competition is to design three outfits, a beach/holiday look, casual look & a party look. Each look has a different judge to pick the winner. 
For more details on the competition click here and see how you can enter. But hurry, you only have till the 8th April to enter. 


Total for this outfit - £94.96

I have chose this Kelly Brook range Bikini from New Look as I just think it's so cute, lovely design and practical for the beach, it would also look really nice underneath the Topshop shorts & the River Island t shirt. I close the grey plimsolls from New Look also as they would be comfortable to walk around in and nice to slip on when popping from the beach to the shop to get a quick ice cream. 
The big River Island sunglasses are just a must have for when you're on holiday and the tinting of the shades are a lovely tone of purple to go with the shorts. & of course the Essie nail polish, I just love it so I had to include it to my beach/holiday look.
_______________________________________________________________________________



Total for this outfit - £97.47

For my casual look I have chosen Topshop jeans with a rip on the knee, I have paired this with a very casual New Look vest with a comic book pattern on and also River Island white hi tops go very well with this casual look. I've also added the studded earrings to this outfit as I think it goes very well and gives the outfit a more rocky look.
I have chose a Revlon Lip Butter in Cotton Candy for a nice subtle shade of pink to the look. Also the Barry M nail polish in Greenberry will look really gorgeous with this outfit.
 
_______________________________________________________________________________



Total for this outfit - £195.97

Wow, so I loved putting this party look outfit together!
So of course I started with a Lipsy dress, the most amazing dresses. I paired this with plain slingback black heels from the Kelly Brook range from New Look and also a black clutch with silver studs all over it to match the bow on the dress. 
To finish off the look i found a lovely Tulip Pearl Pendant from H Samuel which i think just topped off the dress nicely for a party look. 
_______________________________________________________________________________

That finishes off my entry for Money Supermarket, I hope you all have a go at entering as I had fun putting my dream outfits together. 
Good Luck to everyone that enters!

Primark Spring/Summer 2013

Helloo there, hope you're all well!

I'm so ill and full of cold today, so I have spent a lot of the day lying in bed on my laptop & sleeping. Browsing through the internet I found that Marie Claire had done an article on Primark's Spring time clothing and also Summer time clothing, so I thought I would post up a few of my favourite items I have found. 

 

Original Primark Summer 2013 Marie Claire
Original Primark Spring 2013 Marie Claire

Now I don't like so many pictures on blog posts, but I really couldn't resist. I do love Primark!

How i arrange my Jewellery...

Hii there :) 
So I have seen a few recent posts on this subject & I also had a problem with this when I had no where to keep my Jewellery without it getting all tangled and then having to spend hours untangling everything. 
I thought I would show you a few of my purchases and ideas to keep my Jewellery neat and that is also easy to hand. 

So starting off with an easy one, in the top left corner i just have a small box with rings in. The box was given to me for my birthday. Was just a random box to hold my proper present (the box wasn't my present.) So i just painted the lid white as it had 'Happy Birthday' written all over it. & well now, it is my ring box. 

Second, bottom left picture... Where i keep all my bracelets and my watch. This was once a kitchen roll holder, not no more. I painted it white and now holds my bracelets. 

The middle picture, some of you may recognise the necklace holder. This is where i keep all my long necklaces. I brought the necklace hook from Primark for £3, bargain I'd say as this is one of the many few things I've found to organise long necklaces so they aren't all tangled when you want to wear one. So thank you to Primark & they do still sell them, in purple & black.

Last picture, my short necklace holder. This was a present from my sister for my birthday last year, from Dunelm. Again not too expensive. I keep my short necklaces on here & also my feathered earrings. 

Hope at least one of you found this helpful. & hope you're all well.

Let's get into spring then and starting with the nails. It has to be pastel now doesn't it. Pastel colours look so cute and pretty on the nails & i love them. I haven't got many myself so i need to get to the shops - well i need the money to get to the shops first! 
So, I've picked out a few i would buy. Nice & affordable. No breaking the bank for me.

Comic Relief. Red Nose Day Nails.

As i was reading through blogs yesterday, i found a cute post by Lizzie at Lizzie's Blog about Red Nose Day and a nail design she did. You can read this post here.
So i thought i would do my own little design for this lovely day in the UK. 

Bit of a pointer before i start, i know some of the photo's below are not in great focus. I was just getting used to the camera i am using now. Thank you o'sister of mine! But now i think i have the hang of it. 






Nail colours i used are: 
Barry M - Bright Red
Wetnwild - French Manicure White
Collection2000 - Black
Color Club - Top Coat

So i started off painting every finger nail red apart from my ring finger on both hands. 

 On one hand i dotted white on my pointing finger (i know this is not the official name for this finger, but it sounds right to me ha) I also painted a big red blob on my ring finger.


 On the other hand i dotted my thumb with black spots and dotted my ring finger with white nail varnish.


I then dotted on two small white circles (they were circles until i smudged the one, now i don't know what shape they are) and then two tiny black dots. Isn't it cute? :)



I also used the most famous blogging nail design tools around. Brought off Amazon.co.uk

Remember you can get involved and donate by following this link. Thank you.

Hope you liked them as they were fun but a pain to do.
