Autumn and Winter Outfit Inspiration ♡

My Fotd~

Hi everyone!♥

Today's post is going to be about my Autumn/ Winter 

outfit inspirations.

My style often switches between dark; leather jackets denims and boots

to sweet; pastels, pretty cardigans and florals.

So I decided to create some outfit inspiration collages

to separate some of my thoughts.

I draw inspiration from many sources;

Japanese street fashion snaps, Gyaru magazines, 

British fashion magazines, street snaps from around the world.

Here are some of my outfit inspirations this autumn and winter:

 

♡Leather boots and Tartan♡

♡Pretty in Pastel♡

♡Neutrals and Mori Girl♡

I think I'll be drawing a lot of inspiration from 

Mori Girl this autumn and winter.

I just love layering up in different textures to keep me warm.

What are some of your inspirations for this Autumn and winter?

Thank you for reading!

Autumn and Winter Haul Video, charity shop bargains ♡

Fotd

Hello everyone! ♥

I hope you all had a lovely summer.

Where has this year gone? It's going far too fast for me!

Autumn has already arrived, and I have been buying (too) many clothes this month

in preparation for Autumn and Winter.

Since I'm trying to save a bit of money before uni,
I've been shopping more in charity shops.

I found loads of cute bargains in the charity shops

so I decided to share them with you in a video!

Sorry about the lighting, it makes me look quite tanned
which I actually quite like!

It's also my first speaking video D:
Please let me know what you think, and
 let me know what other sorts of videos you would
like to see in the future.

I think these beauties from River Island are definitely my fave buy.
I got them for £33, with an Elle Magazine 25% off voucher,
when they were originally £45
Bargain!
 

I think I'll just live in these throughout the autumn and winter.

I'll leave you with my outfit of the day!

What I am wearing:
Purple Floral Pinafore Dress: Local Market (£5 Barg!)
White Shirt: Primark
Gold Chain Lion Necklace: New Look
Tights: House of Holland
Cut out boots: River Island http://bit.ly/15hyPDf
Geo Bambi Almond Contact Lenses : Honey Color http://bit.ly/dN0L0v

Makeup today

Summer Update! ♡

Photo by me ^^

Hi all,

 I hope you are all well and enjoying your summer!

I thought I would do a quick update just to let you all know I'm still alive!
I'm so sorry for my absence.

I found out that I got into the art university of my choice to do Illustration!

I really thought I messed up the interview and got quite upset, so I was 

really pleased when I found out I got in! 

I got a letter through about my summer project I have to do before we start,

and it's kicked in that I'm finally going to University soon ^^

I start in late September, excited but nervous.

No lenses

The reason why I stopped blogging for a little while because I wanted to focus on my 

Illustration, and getting a new job.

Now that I've gotten into University and started my new job

I've found that I really missed blogging and all of my followers too!

I also want to start youtubing more.

Please let me know what sort of videos you would like to see,

I'd love to hear your suggestions ^^

Thank you for reading!

Makeup ^^

Hello everyone! ♥

My new Princess Mimi Gray lenses arrived from Honeycolor.

 Makeup Closeup

 Eyelashes: Dollywink no1 

Bottom: Dollywink no 5

I usually only go for brown lenses, 

but I'm actually really pleased with how they look with my dark hair!

What do you think?

My hair is starting to get so long!

I still havn't reached my target length yet though :(

With spring almost here I wanted to try Mori Gyaru.

Mori styles always remind me of sping, 

I love layering different textures over one another.

I wore my favourite jumper which reminds me of the first flowers

of spring ♥

 Some good news!

 I managed to get an interview for a place at the Art collage I applied to.

It's in April.

Ahhh I'm so nervous yet so excited!

I need to get my sketchbooks and my portfolio done before 

then! 

 Here's something I've been working on to add into my

portfolio.

Still a work in progress ^^

 Again inspired by spring ^^

I just want to say a huge thank you to you all for following me! T.T

 I really am grateful to you all, I want to thank you for all of your comments,

You're all awesome, I love you all
Thank you

Looking back: Photography 2012 ♡

 Hello lovelies!
This is just a personal post for me to look back at 2012 through a few of my 

photos I took on countryside walks.
A lot of these just make me miss summer ;.;
Picture post ahead.

Happy new year! Tutorial & New Year Goals ♡

FOTD 

 Hi guys ^^ I hope you all had a lovely Christmas/holidays!

Tomorrow is a new year and I can't believe how fast 2012 has gone!

Tbh I'm glad it's over, let's just say I've learnt a lot.

I'll be spending tonight and tomorrow with my family, how will you all be spending it?

I'd like to hear!

Below is a little eye makeup tutorial for the makeup I'll be wearing tonight.

Done!

What I'll be wearing tonight ^^: 

I decided to pair my pastel pink soft wool dotted vintage jumper that I got for only £2 (bargain) at a charity shop with my beaded collar from New look and floral dress from Punky Fish ^^

Close up

I'm really pleased with my curls here, I used my new 

Babyliss tongs I got for Christmas

with L'oreal Elnett Wave Spray to set it, 

might do a video tutorial for it soon.

Below are some of my goals for 2013,

hopefully by the end of the year I will be able to cross everything off ^^ 

1. Update my design portfolio
I really need to do this ahead of uni next year
2. Play more guitar
3. Make more video make up tutorials
I've had a few comments from followers to make more.
Although I've really not had much time to make anymore,
I had a lot of fun making my first make up video,
I'm determined to make more, please let me know what content you would
like to see.
4. Update my blog more often 
Somehow, I find it very therapeutic, writing my thoughts down.
I need to find more time to do this.
5. Clear out my wardrobe 
My style has changed so much over the year,
so I now have so many clothes that I don't wear, it's
getting out of hand, I need to be ruthless with this.

6. Experience more
This past year has taught me that I need to push myself more in
everything I do, to achieve what I want to achieve.

What are your resolutions?

I hope everyone has a lovely New Year!

 

See you in 2013!

Thanks for reading!

Hello Lovelies!

 The time has come for me to get out my winter outfits, 

I prefer creating winter outfits for some reason  (´∀`),

I think it's the layers and textures, but I definitely don't prefer the cold!

Belts 99p each!
I love gold and black, and would love to get a gorgeous D.I.A belt *.*

 *cry*

but for 99p each I had to get them, they're perfect for some coords i've got in mind  ^^

I have a thing for nice buckle patterns lol #what ヽ（*ω。）ノ

Furry legwarmers *.* When I saw these I had to get them.
Just imagining how warm they're gonna be! (✿◠‿◠)

 Hairy legs lolol

There have been alot of big changes in my life recently.
I've decided to go to university next year to persue my dream of being
an illustrator.
I went to an open day recently and I loved it.
The only thing is, i'm still so confused regarding which course to choose.
Graphic Design or Illustration?
Illustration or Graphic Design?
Argh, I hate being so indecisive ><

I'm going to spend the rest of this year working on my portfolio
for uni and spending more time with my family.
After someone very very close to me became very ill this year,
it made me realize even more how important family time is.

Also blogging, I want to start blogging more,
as i've re designed my blog and I'm finally happy with it!
What do you think?

Thank you for reading!
