Happy Halloween!

The big day is here, and If you have been following my first two parts of this you will know I had been thinking of fun outfits for halloween...

What I wanted to do for this third and (final?) part of the series was to have a fun and cute option rather than the classic horror looks I went for last time.

The inspiration for this outfit was actually the clock bag from Accessorize I spotted when out shopping the other day....

Here is my third and final outfit, which is the white rabbit from Alice in wonderland:



I have decided to stay in and watch a couple of scary movies 
and eat loads of chocolates and sweets! Might go to the shops and buy some creepy scary themed food after work! :)

Have a great spooky Halloween! xx

Adventures PT2. Dinosaurs and cake

So before I carry on with Fridays fun at my friend Hayleys here are the promised photo's of the Café -which im sorry I dont know the name of!




Love the dinosaurs! <3



So back to Friday, we left hers really early to get petrol and pumpkins and travel to her work in a charity shop where I was to help her all day. We got to her shop and had cakes and coffee for breakfast -Like the champions we are!!

Then spent the day sorting her window, tidying and sorting brick a brac and the DVD and music section as well as the jewellery and the new Christmas goods that had just come in!
We had the best lunch at a local café and I had ham and mustard sandwiches on freshly baked white bread, and a HUGE slice of chocolate fudge cake washed down with even more coffee. <3 <3



Any way after just about managing to stand up after that massive lunch and work the afternoon we went back to hers, picked up  her boyf and went out for a meal and drinks and a recorded 'Goggle box' once we finally managed to get home!

Then bright and early the next day I caught my train home and enjoyed a chilled out Saturday to relax before my week off finished.

Halloween outfit PT.2

I posted about Halloween and that ive been deciding what on earth I should wear...

Often I like to create mood boards for outfit ideas so I can choose the best idea that I can re-create, so here is my second outfit I was considering...


So as you can see I went for a spooky witch! I found a floaty chiffon skirt from New Look and a few fun accessories from Accessorize!
Not sure which exact shade the OPI nail polish is im afraid but that would be perfect for the creepy hands witches should have...
Finally the shoes are made my Iron Fist who also made the devil shoes shown in part1.

What do you think?

Adventures PT1.

So last week I had an early weekend visiting my friend Hayley and seeing her new house!! It was really good to see her as the last time we actually met up and spent time together was just before she moved out of her old rented place and we went off to the delight and fun that is Glastonbury. <3

So we meet up at 12pm on Thurseday (after my traumatic experience with a spider crawling over my bag on my knee on the train)

 and we walked to hers. -She used to pick me up from the same station but used to drive me to hers so walking was brilliant!!

We then went into town and went to a lovely café (more on this in another post) then off we went after shopping back to hers and we hung out with her boyf and watched films and Pokémon! (and ate pizza of course!!).

Then off to the air bed to sleep and enjoy the next days adventures...

Make up Monday: Gel eyeliner


I would like to trial a 'Make up Monday' set of posts as I had a great Twitter chat with a few girls on what you want to do to improve your blog, and one of mine was to blog consistently and have slightly more set days.

As I would rather blog too much than only once a week which I have been doing...

So to start off my first Make up Monday I have the Estee Lauder gel eyeliner on black.



I have posted on this before very casually as it is honestly the BEST gel liner I have used, It has a strong colour and it stays in place ALL day!! -even on the inner lower lash line.

Its really easy to apply as long as you invest in a longer brush than what they actually package it with, as that's tiny and hardly usable in my eyes (no pun intended). I use a Mac brush in 209 personally as its the perfect thickness for what ever look your going for.

The liner actually lasts forever as you don't need that much to achieve a strong colour and as it costs around £15 to purchase I think its excellent value for your £'s.

One of the other benefits I really want to mention is that unlike a liquid liner where you need a really steady hand and it takes forever to dry, or even a standard pencil liner that used to live in my handbag I was so attached to it, it never need sharpening so you never get that OUCH moment that you can get if you accidently scrape your eye with the wooden part of the pencil when perhaps you should've sharpened it more... Nor do you waste any as you don't end up binning the end lot like a pencil!

Phew! Well I think ive written an essay on this now, so please give me your feedback on how you feel about eyeliners... Which type or brand do you love?

Halloween outfit ideas: PT.1

Im still very, very unsure if ill be out and about for halloween this year as ive had an invite but dont drive so not sure about getting there and back as taxies get very expensive!

BUT im ready in my outfit planning! I just need to practice my make up (im going for an original idea.. a devil!) I'm kinda copping out with this as they want you to go for a classic horror film idea but I really dont want to invest in an outfit unless im 100% sure im going...

Obviously if I dont go out ill just be cooped up in doors with the lights off avoiding the trick or treaters ;P

So my second plan is a night in with the housemates watching scary films, so any suggestions would be great!

Ive made a couple of halloween mood boards so ill share them here so you can have inspiration if your struggling:

This is part one:

On the road again:

So I'm sat on the train traveling to my friends place, looking forward to lunch as I'm starving!! (Even though I had breakfast!!)

I missed my first train as I just couldn't get out of bed, after having most of this week off...
When I went to catch the next one it was cancelled... so that was my fault for being lazy -haha!

I also had a traumatic moment with a spider crawling all over my bag I had on my knee, I am proud I didn't scream and I just put my bag on the floor...
