Helloo! 

I know I'm slacking on posts, please forgive me?

Today I'm doing the I Love Fall, or I love Autumn Tag, I really wanted to do it before it became winter, I'll just get right into it!

1.Fvourite Fall Lip Product: This is so boring but Vaseline, I just wear it when I want something on my lips and it's very natural. It also protects your lips. I love red lipsticks for Autumn though, normal or dark red!

2. Favourite Fall Nail Polish: I like rick colours for Autumn. This forest green from Claire's Accessories. It has shimmers in it though which is a bit of a bummer, I'm going to look for a matte one...

3. Favourite Starbucks Fall Drink: I don't have a Starbucks near me but when I do go I love their hot choccies! They are amazing.

4. Favourite Fall Candle: I have no idea what the scent of this candle is. Mum bought it from TK Maxx and the brand is Designer's Guild. It's lovely thought and the jar it came in is lovely!

5. Favourite Fall Accessory: Bobble hats! Mine is from Topshop last year and the more festive beanie is from Primark this year, I can't wait to wear it!

6. Haunted House, Haunted Hay-ride or Haunted Corn-feild: I think this is an American thing, never been to any but I think a Haunted Hay-ride sound fun!

7. Favourite Halloween Movie: Monster House, I'm such a kid I find it quite funny!

8. Favourite Sweet to Eat on Halloween: Drumsticks! They are these yummy lollies. I like my
tangerines too though!

9. What are you Dressing Up as for Halloween? I went as a Marionette puppet/ragdoll.

10.  Favourite Thing About Fall: Crunching through leaves in my docs, cozy coal fires, Autumn/Winter fashion and big jumpers and socks!

Hope you enjoyed it and read till the end! I'd love it if you commented and followed my blog if you liked this.
I TAG EVERYBODY! x

Redesign!

Hey girlies,

You may have noticed that I've redesigned by blog header and button, I hope you like them! This was just a quick post to say that if you have my blog button on your blog, you can change it to my new one if you want or if you'd rather just keep the old one!

If any of my lovely new followers would fancy doing a button swap with me I'd be more than happy to, theres plenty of room on the sidebar!

I'm currently working on a lookbook post so stay tuned for that! 

Lots of love x

Autumn OOTD 1!

Heyyaaa, heyyaa!

Autumn Wish-list No.1

Hey jammy-dodgers,

This is the first of my Autumn/Winter Wish-lists. As you can see, I'm really into the baroque trend. After seeing it on Fashionrocksmysocks' Asos haul. I really wanted a couple of the pieces featured. Like the Motel Rocks floral jeans and the Asos VITA faltform ankle boots! I think the Black Milk Cathedral Leggings are sort of part of this trend too, aren't they amazing?

I'm also loving jumpers, these I feel are quite unique though. Colour wise and also the style of them. The mint Johnnieb one had lovely sleeves and the orange River Island one is just a very different colour for knitwear. I also love this Johnnieb chunky scarf. I can imagine it with a black winter coat that I got in the Zara sale. I'll be sure to show it soon!

Lastly the thing that I will DEFINITELY be getting, Titanic 4-disc collectors dvd! If you follow me on twitter or instagram (which I suggest you do!) you will know that it's my favourite film, it comes out tomorrow! Yay, woohoo, fandabbydosy! I'm so excited!

How is everyone? I cleaned out my wardrobe yesterday so I have realised that I do not need any more clothes! I still did this wish-list post though haha! Next time I do a post I should hopefully have Titanic on 4-disc special edition, Leonardo Dicaprio's face on 4 discs? Why would't I be ecstatic? 

Some little bits and bobs!

Hola mes amigos! 

Long time no see! Sorry I've not posted in a while, my excuse is a mix of busyness and also lack of ideas of what to post. I thought the best thing to get me back into blogging was a haul, this is just a mini one and is mostly topshop and sale stuff. I bought some of these things when I was out with my mum and aunties school shopping, I'm back at school now! :/

I bought these things at the very start of August for a friends birthday dinner, I love my leggings from Soul Cal @Republic, I think patterned leggings like these are a stable and they are very versatile and I love my t-shirt from Topshop. It's speckled and longer at the back, I need to get it in all the other colours as I wear this white one all the time! Also, it's only £14! 

These are my Topshop sale purchases, I love all of them and I think these things are all really unique and funky! I came across the blouse on the sale rack and I'd never seen it in Topshop or on anyone else! I love the pattern.

I also picked these ear-cuffs in the sale for something like £3.50, I first saw some like these on Sunbeamsjess. There were some on regal rose but they were alot more expensive, then I found these and was ecstatic! 

My mum actually found these clips and at first I wasn't sure but I think they could look really funkaaay! I think these cost something around £1.50.

I hope you enjoy this, posts won't be as frequent because I've started back at school as I've said. See you soon!

My Summer Playlist!

Okay, so I suppose Summer's nearly over but I really wanted to do this post so I could share with you the music I've been loving! I'm into all kinds of music, I can't pinpoint one genre< fancy word! I don't really use iTunes, all my songs are on Spotify. If you  don;t have it already I suggest you get it! It's brilliant! So I hope you lovelies enjoy this.

I came across this song when it came up on my Facebook newsfeed when one of my friends was listening to it. I really love this song, it's on some advert but I can't think f what one!

I thought I'd hate Stooshe as I don;'t really like their "look". I've been listening to this over and over though! I think all the girl's voices sound really good together.

This obviously isn't a new song, it's a very famous song by Oasis! Ever since the Olympic Closing Ceremony I've loved this song! My friend Erin doesn't though!

I did a blog post featuring the original version of this song, you can find it here, but I've only recently discovered the remix, it's a really good one!



You would't think the voices of Rihanna and Chris Martin would sound this amazing together!



I loved MishaB on the X-Factor and I think her new single is a really catchy song to dance about to...



I love Darwin Deez, this is just a happy and uplifting song! Was featured in a favourites post too!



My dad and lil' bro introduced me to this. The lyrics are great! You'll love this song!



This is a brilliant song! I just love Florence's voice. She's my favourite singer.



Right, this is my guilty pleasure, I hated it at first but like all Nicki Minaj songs, it's grown on me! it's a good summer song you have to admit!

So they are just a few of the songs on my Spotify playlist, I actually have hundreds! You can probably tell that I have a very varied music taste!

Mother's been to the Market!

So today my mum hopped on the train to meet a friend and have a little look round the shops, she found some really new and exciting things at the markets and suggested I share them with you! I thought it was a grand idea!

Mum picked up the various leaflets when she was out and about, the "Little Birds Market" is where 

she found my brother Louis a really cool Comic Strip style handmade cushion. He loves it as it's got all his favourite colours and it also ties in with his Superhero themed room (he's got a massive Superman Canvas on his wall!) The cushion was made by a company called "Geek Stuff" (website here though the site is currently down for maintenance :( )

Also in the Little Birds Market were Designs By Cara Louise. She makes unique silver jewellery. Mum picked out a lovely ring for my friend Erin's (very old and embarrassing blog post with her here) birthday which sadly I don't have a picture of as we taped it inside the tissue paper before we even thought about this blog post. I assure you though it's gorgeous! I will also leave her Facebook page here!

Next is... omg these are amazing! Some cake pops from the Flamingo Bakery. Mum bought one for me and one for Louis. I hope you can see that one is a VW camper (because I love them so much!) and one has an Olympic medal on it. May I say they are truly scrumptious! (name that film) and the business card is so cute!

So I hope you enjoyed this, I'm now off to watch the Olympics closing Ceremony, should be amazing so expect alot of tweets about it!

Some Tie-Dyeing... (Picture Heavy Post!)

Hola!

 Everyone enjoying this rare sunny weather? I know I am, I've spent a lot of my time in my garden. While the sun was shining, I thought I'd try some tie-dyeing. What better a place to do it than outside in the sunshine! Today I'm going to show you how I did it. With the help of my Art teacher auntie and my grandpa me and my brother dyed an old school polo shirt (for my lil' bro), a t-shirt, leggings and a bed sheet! 

You will need:

Some fabric dyes, any will do. The colours used are totally up to you but I chose Blue, Pink and Yellow. With these colours we also got red, green and purple, it depended on what order we dyed in though.

Your white garment, if your garment is white the colours will definitely show up better and brighter. These are a pair of leggings that I bought from eBay very cheap, if you type in white leggings you'll probably find them.

Salt, Rubber Gloves and Elastic Bands.

Lets Begin!

To prepare your dye and for info like how long the garment should be dyed for just check the instructions on your packet of dye. I didn't want to tell you what the instructions for my dye were because they will be different depending on what dye you've got.

 First you need to soak your garment or garments in water, they should be quite wet, then you need to tie your elastic bands onto the fabric. We used lots of things like golf balls, pebbles and even a pinecone to get different patterns. My auntie also said that if you put big stitches into the fabric you will also give a unique effect. 

From blue... to red...

To yellow!

Dyeing each part a different colour can take a while so to save time we put the  ends of the leggings in cups of dye! That way more than one part of the leggings could be dyed at the same time!

For the mahoosive bed sheet, we threw cups of dye to create splatters of dye then we dyed the whole thing yellow! The result was amazing...

The Finished Article!

When we first started taking bands off, look at the colours!

Finished!

This is the bed sheet. It looks like a galaxy...

Excuse me while I stare in awe at the galaxy I just created...
