THE Dress :)

It came! I was so gutted it arrived whilst I was in London, I should've got it posted to my brother's address!

Some people have Bad Hair Days, I'm having a Bad Face Day! But here it is -


Yes, I did use photoshop to 'tidy' my room :D It was very necessary!!

I absolutely love it! It hugs my body, making me look like I have curves (I really don't) and accentuates all the good bits - legs and chest!

Proof this dress was an excellent find? Male catwalk models hitting on me at a wedding fayre :')

MUCH more to come :)

Loving...

I didn't like it at first, but you know when a song grows on you? The video is this really cool 'stereotypical' american theme. Lots of blue and white 'tickertape' [or confetti!]

London-Rose

One of my favourite blogs to read is London-Rose. I love her style and her blog is regularly updated which is something to look forward to! At the moment, she is running a competition in conjunction with DiscountCoder.com to win a £50 topshop voucher!!

This next bit is taken directly from her blog, but I checked that all the links work of course!!

"THE COMPETITION! You have until Saturday the 6th of Feb to enter, and the winner will be announced on Sunday the 7th. There will be a runner up prize as well (a goody bag) for the 2nd best entry.

To enter, first you have to be a follower of the blog so CLICK HERE to do so. Then just leave a comment on this post answering one (or all three if you like!) of the following questions...

1) Why do you love LONDON--ROSE?
2) Why do you deserve to win the voucher?
3) What are your must buys for S/S 10?"

If I win (fingers crossed, yet doubtful!! Aim high methinks!) this is what I would buy- thisLace Shift from Topshop. It's so prettyyy!!

Aussie Hair products!

My sister bought this, admittedly for herself, a few days ago. It smells really good and I always feel compelled to try every product in the bathroom, I love testing them! So I though I'd give you a little product review of it! I've not really reviewed products before, so if you have any ideas of what else I should include, I'd love to know!!

First off, I love the smell. It makes me think of bubble-gum and It's so fresh I almost don't like it. And yet I do. I love the way it makes my hair feel, currently very full and voluminous. It makes my play with my hair more, which means I can smell it on my hands, yum! I haven't actually blow-dried my hair tonight, yet it has still dried beautifully. A lot have people have commented that it has made my hair softer and a lot glossier. It's actually not as much as I expected. On amazon.co.uk it's only £4.78. I don't know how that compares to shop prices, but I think it's pretty good actually! I wouldn't normally spend that much on something, being the poor student that I am, but a possible buy before prom?

Edit - all Hair stuff in Sainsbury's half price!! Includes Aussie!! x

Gleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I love it! Where else can you get fairly attractive guys, dancing music and cute dresses all in one place? I loved their cover of Gold Digger, even though I really hate the original! It's available on Spotify [and iTunes] and of course it's on my playlist now! I thought Push It was mega cringy, but amazing to watch, I can't wait to see what else is in store!

24 Days To Go!

Christmas has swooped in like a merry little Robin, yet I can't bear to listen to christmas songs until at least the 14th, so I'm listening to Paolo Nutini's Pencil Full Of Lead. Currently 27th in the UK charts, but at least he's above Whitney Houston...

I never really liked Paolo Nutini before, I think it was New Shoes that put me off, it wasn't really my thing at the time it was released, but now I'm really enjoying his musical style.

I like a lot of his latest album, Sunny Side Up, but Pencil Full of Lead is my favourite, it's such a happy song, the lyrics concentrating on what you've got, not what you're missing. I've had a really bad two weeks, and I find that the song reminds me that not everything sucks.

It also makes me think of big musical numbers, with the trombone, the harmonica and especially the dancing girls in the video! (I want their tights!)

I think you should give it a listen because it'll actually put you in a happy, festive mood.

Yesterday, my sister came to me and said "I didn't know you liked Paolo Nutini, I've got a bit of a guilty crush on him, but he's too short." Or words to that effect. It's true, he is quite cute (just look at that happy little smile of his) but then, he does have little (emo) star tattoos on his wrist... He's only 22... pros and cons...

I would rate-

Pencil full of lead - ***** It has everything to make you happy

Sunny Side Up - **** Good to chill out to

Not necessarily to wear all together... Although I might, but with some colour somewhere along the way!

I want them all so badly!

Loving

The new Arctic Monkeys album.

It's called Humbug.

I started listening to it after I heard Crying Lightning (track 2) somewhere. A lot of the Arctic Monkeys stuff is fairly similar, but this is a bit softer and a bit mellower and I really like it. It sounds a bit like it was recorded in a basement, but that gives it a really hollow and deep tone. It's a nice change from a lot of the indie and random other music I listen. The lyrics are clever and funny at the same time, consistent with their other albums. Overall, I'd give it a **** rating; it's good, clean and generally happy, but it gets a little same-y once you've heard it once or twice.

If you have got Spotify - Arctic Monkeys – Humbug

If not... whyever not? Spotify is possibly my favourite application for computers. Apart from the actually internet browser of course!!
