the last rays may light your way

so this Sunday with all its glory , after church my lovely sister decided to take me around some of her favourite furniture and decor stores ( as i want to decorate my room ) but i have so many ideas that i cant organise them all in one big idea .

anyways the sun was out so i decided to do some shopping  and oh my !!! some great finds i found :) not furniture or anything , but clothes :D  .
i love buying  vintage clothes , fair trade/charity shops clothing as it makes me feel like I'm doing my bit for the environment  :D after all recycling is great for the environment and can be super stylish ;D .

                                                                here's a quick outfit of the day :)

     
                                                                       blazer - jane norman
                                                                   dress - present from besty
                                                                         wedges - new look
                                                                        bag - etheal austines



about the items i got , i went to Bernardo ( the children's charity ) shop and the clothes in there are old stocks or faulty clothing from popular high street stores . i ended up getting this white blazer which is size 20 , however this didn't bother me as i just loved the cut and the fact that i didn't have a white blazer just pushed me to purchase this .

also i got a pair of  trousers which have been  on my wish list for a while now , but being a student and a very poor one , i refused to pay a ridiculous amount of money for a pair of trousers. so when i found the perfect pair  in my size and in black , i just had to get them :D


apart from that i had a great weekend and with the sun making a rare appearance , i can honestly catching some of the last rays was the perfect end to a lovely weekend :)

so how was your weekend ? xoxo

in order to grow change must take place

sitting on my bed wearing a dress i had purchased 2 years ago , i reminisce of the past 2 years . these two years I've managed to gain and loose friends as well as weight . I've managed break hearts as well as get my heart broken . I've learnt to care and not care ( depending on the situation) . Ive learnt to let go of things which had no positive impact  on my life and hold on to those which did . i guess i can say that I've grown a lot throughout these 2 years ( not in height though  I'm still 5"3" ) .

 
and yet there's still more to see , more growing to do , more to feel . i get a rush just thinking of it , a mixture of emotions , excitement , fear , joy , sadness , curiosity . and even though I'm excited to get to see , do , taste , feel the future , I'm also secretly hopping that time would flow as slow as slow can be , just so i can really take in this moment .

its funny looking in the mirror and not just seeing the same old girl from 2 years ago staring back at you , instead an improved version  stares back at you . this time 2 years ago  there were things i wanted to achieve , and now that I've gotten what i wanted , i don't want to forget what it took to get it , the journey , whether good or bad , the tears , the laughter , the support as well as the let downs, the constant worry , the stress , the phone calls and text messages . the not knowing what tomorrow will bring and yet still have that gut feeling that all will somehow fall into place , not one bit i want to forget . and as I'm writing this , I'm also thinking of new things I'd like to achieve in the next 2 years to come and i just hope i don't loose my way .

if you're wondering , i got this dress 2 years ago when i went shopping for a dress for presentation evening ( an evening in which you are presented with you're GCSE/ A level certificates and your academic achievements are celebrated )  with my then friend ( i guess you loose those not worthy of you whilst growing up and finding ourselves ) and i was determined to find a sweet girly dress and yet elegant enough for the evening as i didn't want to look like all the other girls wearing tight dresses or club wear ( I'm not really into skin tight dresses ) i love this dress so much , it was the perfect thing to wear then . I'm hoping to make it to presentation evening this year in order to get my A level certificates and if i do , i have no idea what to wear this time -_-


do you have any future goals ? if yes what are they ? and what has changed in the past two years ?

an outing in the sun

i had a really nice day out with my friend today (well yesterday since its 2:30 in the morning )
the weather wasn't as hot , but it was warm so i was really happy , as i hate it when it gets extremely hot and you can feel your skin burning and the sweat dripping D: ewwwww its just gross .
anyways the aim of the day out was for me to find a cute playsuit , I've seen some online that i really wanted , but i didn't buy them in time and now they are out of stock or don't have my size . so i saw one which was ok , however , i hate getting clothes online unless i am perfectly sure of the size , material , quality , colour , fit . style etc.....
there's nothing worse then getting something online and when you finally get to put it on , its nothing you expected it to be , and it turns out to be worse ( its happened to me before ) .
so i set out to find something on the high street of similar price as the ones online ( also that means I'm saving money on postage and packaging )


top : store 21
belt:primark
shorts : primark


bracelet 1 (left side ) : H&M
bracelet 2 (right side) : muse


bag : liverpool


sunglasses : H&M
necklace ( 2 different necklace put together ) : france




i mainly went Camden town to find my playsuit as i love love love love it there loooool i really did consider getting one of those t-shirts which says " i love Camden " hahahaha i might go back and get it :)



i did find various ones but i really liked this , it was just so comfortable and cute also easy to wear and its casual , but I'm sure with a few accessories here and there you can dress it up . i got this from Camden market , to be honest it was £25 , however , the beauty of buying from these markets is if you know how to you can get a bargain , and oohh my , i talked the man into selling it for me at the price of £15 :D i was soooo happy looool .





finally whilst browsing the other stores , i fell upon this skirt , really the only reason it caught my eye was firstly the price , it was £5 and my budget for the playsuit was £20 (i always set myself challenges to find what I'm looking for within a budget ) so i had a fiver left to spend on whatever , then the colour , i lovvvvvve yellow , omg , banana yellow my ultimate favourite colour :D bright colours just puts me in such a good mood . and then the shape of the skirt , like i don't remember anymore but I'm sure i saw the shape of this skirt in the first sex and the city movie , if not then it has to be lipstick jungle either way i loved it and when i got closer i realised it was from asos so i took it to the changing rooms .

i don't know about you , but i have a size issue :( which means firstly buying things online is extremely difficult and even buying things in a store is difficult too , the only way for me to really know how something would fit me is try it on .

and as much as i like browsing on the asos website for something cute for me to buy , i never end up buying from there because of the size issue and for some reason i always have to get like 2 size smaller in asos and that really makes me feel idk sad :( and to make matters worse even when i do get 2 size smaller it sometimes seems too big .

but yh the skirt did fit , not what i imagined it would look like but it wasn't bad either , they had a navy version so i might go back to get that :) I'm not too sure yet .

wooooohooooo to that party

so it was one of my bestfriends party , and she was had a fancy dress party , it was soooo sooo sooo much fun and i really did enjoy myself :D





i went as a show girl and for my face , i ecided to do this look using artificial flowers and a false eyes lashes , i would defo do a tutorial on my youtube page , however im having troubles with my youtube page at the moment and for some reasons i cant log on to it .


as for my outfit i decided to just wear the two items you've previewsly seen in my hauls and i teamed it with simple blacl sandals :) .

i'm only one person

OK i know I'm going to sound like such a hypocrite when i go on as I'm one of those people who always moan all day long how i cant do this and cant do that , but I've only just recently noticed how annoying it is and I'm trying so hard to stop now.
i know its not easy , we all go trough difficult times and we try to get right up and rise above it , but recently i was having a conversations with someone , let just call her person A . i was giving person A some ideas of what they can do after their exams to keep busy and maybe help them in terms of their future career , and for every idea i came up with , person A's response was " i cant do this so i asked person A what they wanted out of life and their response was " i don't know , i wish i could change the world , but I'm only one person" , at this point i felt like taking a brick and beating her up with it .

my point is , yes your only one person , yes the effect of one person maybe slow however in my opinion i really do thing one human being is so powerful beyond anything. i have no idea what has happened to our generation for us to think that one person does not have any significant power. i mean one person in your life may make you the happiest being alive . one person can completely impact your life in such a way that it may turn you into a monster or a better person . one person can have such presences to be able to make everyone at a party hit the dance floor and have fun . take Hitler , although what he did was oh so bad , however one person had such impact in causing so many nations into going to war . my point is we need to stop having the " i cant do this , I'm only one person" mentality , its not helping and its only limiting us from doing or being what we really want to do or be .
i for one , am going to try and stop thinking that way and if there is something i feel like doing , i will do it and not bother whether i can change the world or not , as if i am able to just touch one person then i would have accomplished my aim .

short short short baby

i've taken out my extesions and cut my hair short , and i am currently enjoying the nice weather in short hair :D

and im also enjoying wearing red lipsticks with my short hair (i decided not to wear make up untill i finished my exams ) and so far i've broken this about 4 times , but lip products dont count thats why im taking full advantage of this. also my skin looks so much more healthier which means after my exams im only going to go as far as wearing tinted moisturiser if i really need some sort coverage .

i might still wear some hair extensions , but i'll just make clip ons, i have the clips , all i need are the extensions and the actuall making of :D




collection 2000 lipstick
volume sensation range
colour : 3 ruby red



this is my favourite red lippy , its from collection 2000 , i dont reall remember how much it was but it was defenitely under a fiver :) . the red is just perfect , exactly what i was looking for , and the actuall lipstick is really creamy and isnt drying at all . its also a lip plumping lipstick , but this doesnt affect me much as i dont think i need lip plumping products , however it always does make my lips look fuller and i totaly love the tingly effect when its on my lips
