Goody two shoes

I have to say that even when I bought these leggings I was never 100% happy with them. The length is a bit odd for me and the colour isn't exactly slimming. I think that they look better with this outfit than others in the past but still not 100% convinced. See what you think:

DIY for dummies

My friend was introduced to the delights of Hairspray and Rocky Horror last night for the first time whilst the rest of us sang along, no doubt in an irritating fashion!


In other news I have been trawling through the online sales and debating what to get. In the end I bought an orange dress from Evans which I am hoping to wear in a few weeks.


I'm a bit scissor happy at the moment, cutting off collars and ties and even this morning with this shirt as I decided to cut the arms off minutes before leaving the house:

He's leaving home

Attended a friend's leaving party last night and for some reason all of us have been over excited for it all week and it did not fail! There was some excellent dancing (some even captured on film!) good food and even better cocktails!


My preparations for the party began super early at 9am with an appointment to get my eyebrows resculpted using the latest technique of HD Brows, a 7 step process to give you the best possible shape for your brows. They tint, wax, thread, pluck and fill in your brows. They also advise you on eyebrow maintenance and aftercare. I have to say that it was useful to know how to shape my eyebrows for the future but at £25 it is very expensive and overpriced in my opinion. I think that I will stick to the tweezers and the occasional threading for now.


In other news I was thrilled that I got my false eyelashes on first time last night as it usually involves a lot of fustration and bad results. I bought some budget lashes from Tesco as opposed to MAC and Shu Uemura and I would say that they are the same quality.


And lastly the outfit! I'm beginning to think that I am really picky when it comes to going out clothes. I don't like anything too tight but I do want something short and exciting. I also don't do heels as I have horrible flat, wide feet and bunions which are getting worse and on previous nights spent wearing heels have come home crying from the pain and spent the next day hobbling around the house so have given up on them to be honest. This does mean that my shoes are a let down in terms of the outfit but I try to compensate by drawing attention upwards.


Anyway after all that rambling here I am mid twirl in my new dress:

Are you a Belieber?

I'm currently working at my old high school and have been trying to get pictures of celebrities for some work. One of the pupils picked Justin Bieber today and proceeded to write his whole life history down. When she read it out I asked her if she was a fan and she said yes. I asked her if she knew what they are called and told her they are known as "beliebers". Could I be any more of a geek? Finally my useless celebrity information is good for something! Yay!

Supermarket style

I was watching an old episode of Gok's Fashion Fix at the weekend where he was shocked (and horrified I think) to discover that so many women buy their clothes from the supermarket! Well Gok I am one of those women and this is my reason (another great dress from Tesco):

Up, up and away!



That's the sis and her bff Johnny masquerading as "newlyweds" to try and get an upgrade on their flight. Sadly they did not succeed but they are currently having a great time in South Africa before they head to Vanuatu, Australia, New Zealand and Korea as part of their elective after 4 years of Medecine. The ma drove us to Heathrow Terminal 5 where we marvelled at it's size and bought Krispy Kremes!


Here I am just before leaving to go home:
