Popcorn PJs and Christmas Candle light

I know that it probably would sound much more glamorous to say that I fall asleep between crisp white sheets wearing Victoria's Secret pajamas, but the truth be told my PJs go a little something like this...

They are from Topshop and I got them for Christmas! I think that they are so hilarious and fun, I can't get enough of them, I wore them to sleep over at my Aunties house and she cracked up at the sight of them, they have that effect on people as they just make people smile, what more could I want from PJs??
Plus... I think that they will look even more brilliant when combined with my very over sized unicorn slippers, although those are waiting for me back at my uni house.


I finished off tonight with studying for exams  in January *woohoo*

but also secretly burning my festive candles, I don't think it's too late to be burning candles that smell like Christmas trees but there is a strict -no candle- rule in my mums house, so I convinced her to let me keep these candles for 'decoration', they have been decorating my bed side table for around 10 months in anticipation of Christmas, I secretly smuggle the candle lighter thingy from the kitchen drawer when my mum is around, yes I am older than a teenager and having to sneak around the house and abide by my mums rules.

Christmas kisses as I see in the new year with festive candles and revision!

Golden Girl!

Maybe more a champagne coloured dress, than golden...

but if you've read my blog before then you will have seen me wear this very dress to a wedding, but when are musical note dresses really out of fashion?

Well...when were they ever really in fashion I guess!

Oh well, maybe that's the tip to never being out of fashion, never be in fashion in the first place!

This time I wore the dress with golden eye makeup, all courtesy of the Naked Palette by Urban Decay, but I sure wished I had a Barry M Dazzle Dust in gold to go over the top of the shadow, that would have doubled the golden factor

So there you go that's my super quick because I'm out the door 'Outfit of the Evening'

Heels £10 Ebay

Dress £6 Ebay

total outfit cost= £16

Sailor dress up!

Ever since my first dress-up party at the age of 12 or 13 when I went as a sailor girl, I have had a 'thing' for all things nautical that never ever seems to go away, ever! As much as I wish I could wear my costumes out on a regular day (I built up a collection of various sailor ones) they remain in waiting for another dress up party!

Keeping this in mind, you can imagine how my heart skipped a beat with joy when I feasted my eyes upon this lovely dreamy-dress!










The lady at the counter probably thought I was a sailor-crazy-nut as I was wearing coincidentally my sailor jumper today!

I think I'm going to save the dress for a March wedding and team it up with Red heels with a bow! But I don't know if I can wait that long to wear it...

Other lovely things I came across today that came home with me included this new 'dressy' top, originally from Topshop but I got it in a second hand shop for a sweet price of £10

P.S note how I've cropped my face out of everything because I was having a 'bad skin-no makeup' day
And a little more boring... a new laundry bag, but the print is super cute at least!

It's a nice day for a white wedding

Today I went to a family friends wedding, I've had a music note dress on standby for a very long time for this special day and I found a keyboard purse in the ASOS sale to coordinate plus shoes I got from ebay a very long time ago
My outfit breakdown goes like this:
Dress Topshop was £75 but I got it from ebay for £6
Purse ASOS sale was £25 but int he sale it was £12.50
Shoes ebay, not branded and £10

Makeup went a little something like this...
Laura Mercier Moisturising foundation
Bobbi Brown Bronzing brick for abit of shimmer and a MAC matte bronzer to carve out those cheekbones and slim the face
Blusher by MAC in shade Well Dressed
Highlighting powder by MAC in Snowglobe (from the christmas range)
Lipstick by MAC in shade Lovelorn
Lipgloss by MAC in shade Pretty Plush
Eyebrows filled in with Folie eyeshadow by MAC
Eyes went a little like this:
Eye Primer by Bare Escentuals
Eyeshadow all over the eyelid in shade Shroom by MAC
Champagne golden eyeshadow from this fun Bed Head pallette over Shroom
Eyeshadow in shade Folie by Mac in the crease and blended to keep it fresh and pretty
The bottom eyeshadow in the bedhead pallette which is like a paler version of MAC's Mulch goes over the top of Folie to make it a little more shimmery
Use an eyeliner brush and take Folie along the top lashline
Shroom by MAC on the browbone as a highlight
White eyeliner along the waterline I used Fascinating by MAC
Black Mascara mine was from Bare Escentuals

Then finally, a spritz of MAC Fix plus all over the face to keep it on all day!

And all that remainds of the day!

I love keeping my name place settings of the weddings that I go to, just looking at it will reminds me of the colour scheme, theme, setting and the day so I think it deserves a place in the magical scrapbook which is a hobby I am determined to keep!
