getting beady with it

Hi!
Hope your all good! :) I am slowly recovering a little every day... Although still not managed to not fall asleep in the daytime yet. I'm going to go into work tomorrow I think, hopefully it won't be too much for me or it'll be a long day! :s

This post was planned to be up weeks ago but with all of the complications all posts had to be postponed so many apologies for that, and near future posts may be slow too (read the previous post for more info)

Back to the post! Summer is almost here and the weather is warming up. This year I'm really into the boho styles in general; hair styles, clothing, jewellery etc. Personally I think beads, feathers and things like that are a total match for this trend and also the season. Whenever I go on holiday I wear beads, even if its a beaded anklet - I'm a sucker for anklets too I have sterling silvers, handmade, beaded, chains... I like them ;P

This piece came in a sealed plastic with the babi-online card inside too. The packaging is pretty simple, which totally works!

This is a close up of the piece, the bracelet is made from brown and purple wood and silver beads.

Above is me wearing the bracelet.. I'm still ill and have like, black eyes so I cut them off ahaha

I really like this bracelet, it's adjustable too so it fits my tiny wrists :)

The bracelet is bang on trend, I mean literally all the clothes shops I've been in lately has some beaut ranges of clothes, shoes, jewellery and bikinis and accessories *swoooon*

If you like this bracelet you can get it here for £5.00

Babi-Online is currently one of FashionFixHunter's collabs so you will be seeing more from them! :)

Gorgeous Swarovski elements!

Hiiii! Sorry for the delay in posts! Been super busy O.o
I'm heading for a distinction star in my coursework although im pooing my pants for the practical... where I have to act as a transfer rep and do a big speech and role play in front of the class and teachers... (just a little secret - I stutter, forget what to say then laugh my head off and usually end up facing the wall doing a presentation).. Yet I can catwalk in front of many people :s I guess its because I don't have to speak there, I usually get told to zip it... :P

I went on a business trip last week to an airport for a conference and to meet different departments and see some of the equipment they use. I wore a red dress with a loose blazer over the top and black tights. If your from England, we all know its been pretty windy! That dress went straight up to my armpits while I was at the bus stop! D: I practically ran from the bus station to college attempting to hold my dress down. -.-

(sorry for the bad quality image, i didn't use my good camera)

Below is a picture of the a piece of security equipment airports use:

I don't no if 'scanner' was suppose to be spelled as 'scanna' but moving on....

we also had a really nice day out at center parcs with my family and cousins

we went bowling, then off to the boathouse and I asked for 'the two canoe things joint together', they knew what I meant ahaha :D When I was trying to get into it I stepped back and stepped in a deep puddle thing that someone had dug right near the the lake -.- resulting in me emptying my shoes on the boat, we didn't no how to go forwards or turn. It would be safe to say people found it very funny, I mean is is that funny seeing someone empty all the water of their shoes? Okay maybe it is ;) it was probably like watching an episode of Chuckle Brothers or something! Then we walked up to the foresters in and had dinner, went back to the boat house and me and my cousin got a pedalo :) Then we went to the swimming pool, must be just my luck I got squashed between a few 'very large' hairy men on the rapids -.-  I couldn't breath and had to get out for a while. 

So this post is mainly about a piece of jewellery I was sent, I chose this one because its so simple and most of my jewellery is weird, in your face or really big. So I picked something minimal but beautiful and eye catching.

The item came really nicely gift wrapped - this is perfect if your looking for a present for that special someone, whatever the occasion! Inside is a black leather looking box with a plain card sleeve. the pendant is wrapped in black tissue paper to prevent it getting damaged in the post.

This is not my usual jewellery as I said before, but when it comes to dressing up I don't no what jewellery to wear so this will definitely come in handy! 

The necklace pendant can be easily worked into daytime outfits, evening and occasions but this piece really sets it apart from others. This has a beautiful glow  from the unique yellow diamond tone Swarovski Crystal Element. It has a big Swarovski yellow diamond tone crystal element which is circled by a 14 carat gold plated ring which has 30 white diamond tone Preciosa Czech crystal elements! Each of these has been hand set in a single course. The chain is also very pretty, I haven't had one with that sort of chain before, its very thin and sparkles with a lovely glow.

- free delivery world wide

- arrives to you in presentation box and gift wrapped

You can get this necklace here for £22!

Aces Laces #1

Hii! sorry ive not posted for a week or so, I've been so ill! Literally only got out of bed to go to the toilet or to get a drink for about 4 days! missed 2 days at college and a day at work... Now my dads ill! -.-
As you may no already, I did enter the competition to win the ipad mini last month and did pretty well and suppose to be entering this month too... But I'm SO impatient D: it hasnt come yet and the competition closes at the end of the month and I can't enter until my box arrives; so yeah ... Come onnnn box!!! Get your giddy up! :D
So got some catching up to do ahaha

I was sent a little package from Aces Laces 

containing 3 packets which were opaque and had surprise shoelace designs in. Aces Laces have series of shoes laces which people order and have no idea what design they have until they open them

The idea of the packets being opaque is that people collect, swap and share them. You could use them in your shoes, football boots, ice skates, I have friends that turn them into bracelets etc.

I opened the first packet to find a white sparkly pair, these are super cute! I'm not sure whether to put them on a pair of my boots, or even my new pair of sparkly converse shoe things - because... A girl can never have too much sparkles ;P I saw these shoes on sale and I thought they looked weird, took a closer look and though I'd actually wear them in the summer :D

you can take the girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl!

Hiii! So I'm trying to get the blog back on track, what with me starting at my new job and aiming for a distinction at college. Its half term holidays now though :D ... still gotta work a couple days but oh welllllll O.o But my mum said shell take me to the shops so I can spend my first months wages when I get them >.< I'm going to get a phone on contract - mine is literally ready to retire, I've dropped it sooo many times yet the screen has never cracked, the sound is fine... But the camera has fell off?! whut?! and it keeps ringing people too, like ill be at college talking then go to check the time on my phone to see its been on call for like 5 minutes -.- #embarrassing so yeahh it needs replacing now ahaha. I want to get my parents a little present too, or take them out for a meal or something :)

I was going to write this post tomorrow but I'm going to be busy then so I'm writing it now before I go off to bed. I think from now on I will be blogging at weekends, or maybe Tuesday afternoons but don't worry I wont stop blogging :D

Country Girl is a brand that I had been interested in for quite some time now, at college everyone is from towns or cities and they say I'm a country girl because I live in a teeny weeny village in the countryside. Well 'you can take the girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl' . There are lots of products I love the look of on this site from hoodys to t-shirts to personalized apparel and they all have a 'country' theme running through them. Country Girl is now a sponsor / collaboration of FashionFixHunter's - as you can see their widget on the blogs side bar :)

I received some products from Country Girl, including this perfume. I am one for fancy bottles, and the boxes too, often not wanting to throw the boxes away! The bottle is heart shaped with golden writing on and rose tinted liquid. Its just a really simple but pretty bottle. The perfume it's self isn't my usual go to - I usually opt for fruity, sweet perfumes. This one however is quite subtle, just enough scent to be noticeable but not to much to be all up in everyone's nose holes!

Here is the parcel and what came in it, I'm going to save a couple of things for another post :)

I got a pink hoody with angel wings on the back, believe me I am stocking up on my hoodys! It is sooo cold! The hoody is super soft, it has a double sided pocket on the front to keep your hands nice and warm >.< I love angel/ kind of spiritual things so when I saw this hoody, I loved it! :) The wings are printed on the back, but they do similar angel wing products where the wings are covered in rhinestones etc.

If you like the look of the perfume you can get it here for $45.95 now $19.95!

I have tried to find the link for this exact hoody on the site but struggling to do so, but there is one in black here, for $36.95. I will post the pink ones link if I manage to find it :)

University of socialites

Heyy! I'm going to start off by apologizing for the little delay of posts, I'm aiming for a distinction star at college and I have just started at my new job so it's been pretty hectic! I mean, my nails have been naked for about 2 weeks now!!! :O I haven't had them naked for that long since I was about 14! I will be painting them tomorrow though as I can't get into college so I will do some coursework and record a new nail art tutorial for one of my YouTube channels ( - I'm new to all that stuff on YouTube so I'm getting use to it aha :P The last nail art tutorial I did was a simple and basic snow leopard print one. )

I have been meaning to put this post up for the last couple of days but hadn't had enough time - I don't like to rush any post if it about someone, a brand or something I like etc :)

I got this parcel from 4ItGirls - I love many of their items for sale, celebs wear them (like Katie Price!, Caggie and Gemma)  and they are just lovely, I'm sure you will see why!

The first item was a beanie hat which is nice and soft - no itchy material. The inside is pink and the outside is a bluey black with a big pink pompom. I like this hat because you can wear it on properly or it works as a slouch beanie too - Which is how I wear it. I have actually wore this to college, which I have never wore a hat to college before, I just don't really like them in general to be honest :/ but omg! I really like this one and the best thing about wearing a beanie like this is when lorries drive past, my hair can't all go up in the air!!! :D

Yeah.. There's me and the beanie ahaa

For some reason I was channeling a Miley vibe and wanting to stick my tongue out :s

The second product was this blue hoody, I loveeeeeeeeee it :D

On the back it has the 'University Of Socialites' along with two studded hearts. The front has 'It Girl' printed on it. I love the arm of this hoody too, which has a sequin 4. The hood has a silk lining and the hoody its-self is fleece lined so it all cosy and warm >.< 

I would have said the hoody is quite long, but I have a shorter body and daddy long legs which make up my height - so I think maybe its a normal length.. Oh and I know this is a pretty random thing to comment on, but the lace tie things on the neck have metal tubes on them - I much prefer these than others as they tend to fall off and then the laces start fraying.  

This hoody will come in handy for the Easter holidays when I am going away to a VERY windy place! Layers and jumpers are a must. I'd pair this with a pair of skinnies and high tops... I'm wearing my tartan pajama bottoms at the moment but I thought they looked funky anyway ahaha 

If you like this hoody you can get it here for £48 now £38.40!!

Take a walk on the wild side...

Hiiii! How are you all? Just a quick update on the last post where I said I had an interview... I got the job :D It's somewhere super nice - a woodland holiday destination, and its a lovely place to take photos and I just love it there :)

back to the post, I am loving animal prints at the moment.. Well actually I always love animal prints. I often find myself wearing animal prints and not even noticing, like at college a use a Dalmatian print bag, shoes with leopard print on, tops with leopards or tigers on, my new edition was the lion leggings and now....I got these lovely shoes from SkyScraperHeels

These shoes have leopard print faux suede material. They have the zips on the inside, which I much prefer them there than on the back of the shoe.

 I love studs and spikes and the back of the shoe has lots of gold ones! 

You can dress these shoes up, I think they would look gorj with a black dress, or you can dress them down with a nice pair of skinny jeans! The platform blends into the rest of the shoe and I find them comfy and super easy to walk in so if your not so keen on heels then try these! 

The big cats are making a comeback in fashion, or did they ever actually go out?

I don't think they ever will go out of fashion because they are so versatile, they can look sweet, edgy, sophisticated or glamorous - it's how you wear it that makes the difference!

Now, you can wear it without looking like you are crazy, I'm not going to name and shame any celebrities right now but believe me. There are plenty.

A good way without being OTT is to go for accessories, sunglasses, handbags, shoes to spice up an outfit. Rosie Huntington Whitley is rocking that bag, Kelly Rowland has a basic dress with leopard wedges to give her look an edge and I love Fergie's outfit too!

If you like these shoes you can get them here for £24.99 now £17.99!! *in sizes 3-8*

What do you think of these shoes? Would you wear them? Have you got a pair like this?

Your gonna' hear me Roaaaaaar!

Heyy! Hope your all well! I don't usually put a post up on Wednesday's as I'm usually at college but I didn't go today as I had a job interview. Oh my god. I get sooo nervous for interviews it's unbelievable! On the way there I felt sick one minute and my head was hurting the next and then when I was in the interview I felt so lightheaded! I actually don't no why though, because I catwalk in front of audiences, and interviews are just me and them? Oh well :s

Ive had lots of exciting parcels I will be posting about so keep an eye out! One of them was this...

Can you guess what it is? :D 

The clue is in the title...

Well, it's from Mr.GUGU & Miss GO.

I came across this clothing company on the internet and was very intrigued as they sell many unique products that I hadn't saw before.

'So… Mr. Gugu makes you a dream candidate for the future we dream about. He makes you the cutest child of the age to come. And Miss. Go rules over him just as every beautiful woman rules over her brilliant husband. They both will show you what is worth wearing not only today, and not only tonight, but tomorrow and the age after tomorrow.'

The times have changed, we've often rewound the clock since our grandparents got a shock when they listened to the rock. In olden days a glimpse of inscription on a t-shirt was looked on as something shocking; but now, it seems, anything goes. Designers no now that only using the simplest ideas can make you look stupidly the same. 'The world has gone mad today, and good is bad today, and black is white today, and day is night today.' Personally I think the designs are so crazy, they're cool.

The material on the product is quite thin but very strong and flexible. 

Did you guess it right? They are Lion Leggings! :D

Now I hate disco pants, when I see girls in them I think they look a little horsey -.- 

And I'd saw printed leggings on the internet or on shop shelves and just thought, 'they are well weird'. Like I saw a blue pair with silver chains printed all over them, but then I saw them on my friend and I thought they were actually really nice! :) Then I thought I would try out some printed leggings, I am a fan of animal prints etc so I picked the lion pair. When I took them out of the bag, again I was a little stunned because they are so in your face. 

I went and tried them on and I really really like them! Behold, the full length sparrow legs...

I paired the leggings with some black wedge trainers with a faux fur trim. The leggings have so much going on, I think they look best with minimal detail else where, like black shoes and a plain top. I also have a lion bracelet from hottt.com that goes nicely with these! You can see it here.

I also got some of these Mr GUGU & Miss GO badges :D

If you like these leggings, you can get them here for only 29Euros

What do you think of these leggings? Have you got a pair like these? Would you wear them?

bobble hat, bobble bobble bobble hat

Heyallll! Hope your all okay :D I was back at college last week after the Christmas holidays, Guess what?! It was like the first time I haven't been told off on the Tuesday >.< ... Instead another girl got told off and she ended up walking out and going home, If only I lived near college I could do that when the teacher won't leave me alone ;) Oh and I said to one of my friends that a guy in the cafeteria has nice hair, that's all I said! Then she said when we was going up to class that she thinks he's in the class a couple of doors down. Only he was stood outside our class looking out the window on his phone. Then the rest of the girls decided to be stupid when we was in class, they ran out and asked him what his name was. Then staring at him through the glass on the door... He ended up sticking his head through into the class and asked if he was in trouble?! And then all the girls started being even more stupid. Like what the hell, I simply said he had nice hair and they all start being goons. Thanks -.- That was the first embarrassing thing that happened when I was back at college, I seem to be prone to being clumsy, doing stupid things and being embarrassed -.-

Well I will get onto the post now instead of babbling on..

All of their brands have been handpicked by their skilful curators allowing you, the customer, to interact with some of Britain’s most talented and dedicated designers. Our quality checks ensure that you will always receive nothing but the best in British design and innovation.

I received this Laguna purple bobble hat from BritFash...

The hat was a little different to how I imagined it to be... On the website the hat looks quite big and it wasn't actually that big - which is a good thing! I noticed the quality of the hat straight away. 

I mean if I compare this to a standard bobble hat I had like the one below

This bobble hat looks nice, but the wool is pretty hard and not as flexible. The hat is very thin so its not the best protection from the harsh winters! I had resulted in not wearing knitted hats because I find them itchy (this was was particularly itchy).

Whereas the Laguna purple bobble hat is super soft, made from laguna yarn with cable detailing. I added a picture to the collage above of a closeup of the hat - 

The hat has been finished off with the Stone Union Logo at the front.

The spotlights in my room are a little bright but there is the hat on. I love it! But I decided to give this to M as shes has chemotherapy and now radiotherapy so obviously she has lost her hair and this is a great gift for her as it's so soft and everything she would really appreciate it (M say's thank you to BritFash too) :) If I was going to wear a bobble hat, I would wear this one! 

BritFash stock these in a range of colours like: Black, white, blue, berry, grey and oatmeal.

You can get this hat here for £49.99 now £24.99

If you are in Britain then the worst of winter has yet to come, hurry up and get an amazing quality hat that will actually keep you warm!

Herra Hair Care Perfume #blogmas

Hiii! ... I didn't go into college today as they were just going to be playing games and not working. So instead I stayed at home and have been doing my coursework here :) I've just been told off for not peeling the potatoes - I completely forgot while doing my work! So I started this post and had to leave it for a while O.O

If you a follower of this blog you may of seen my post about How to fix damaged hair, if you haven't you can read it here if you want to. So because I have started being much healthier I also decided to look after everything and be happier about myself in general.

I have looked into ways of washing your hair which can damage or help it, what DIY masks you can make at home, what you can eat to help your hair to be healthier. I had heard of a hair perfume before but a lot of the reviews were bad saying it smelt like sugar (I don't think that one had any benefits for your hair). I like sugar, I love sugar! But I wouldn't wan't walk past someone and they be like 'she stinks of sugar'.. That would be weird ahaa.. You may as well have candy floss on your head.

 *Nicki Minaj and lady gaga are both cool, but these hair styles remind me of candy floss. :P

I had been looking into hair perfumes that have good effects, not just smells good. I want my hair to look good, smell lush and feel good too :D
As you should already no, hair absorbs scents really well, which isn't a good thing - sometimes. Like if one of my friends smoke near me I can smell my hair later and they made it smell like fags *great* -.-
I proper hate the smell of cigarettes! D: Also, if I put perfume on before I go to college, the scent ends up fading away before the end of the day. I know some of my friends spray normal perfume in their hair (you shouldn't do this as it's not good for your hair and also dries it out). I remember seeing a hairdryer advertised yearsss ago that has hair perfume in it which it blows and infuses into your hair, but I never saw it again.. So I have got a product from Herra which is the hair perfume.

Herra's signature fragrance is a blend of the finest key notes creating a fresh modern, uplifting experience that appeals to all. The ingredients include: Italian bergamot, loquat fruit, midnight orchid, rose, white jasmine, mimosa, heliotrope, lily, vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood and musk.
The glycerin in it helps provide ample hydration and seals in moisture, without weighing down the hair. There is also sunflower extract protects the structure of the hair. It helps provide protection against UV and can prevent colour fade, whilst olive fruit extract is rich in antioxidants that help shield the hair against pollution and free radicals. 
The box and the bottle both look really nice and really good quality. The name for this brand came from 'Hera, the Greek Goddess of beauty and fragrance' Herra felt this was the perfect fit.

I spray a little bit of this into the air then do some headbanging though it ;) so it mixes with all my hair rather than the top layer. I love loveee the sent of this perfume and I can smell it all day on my hair. It's not too over powering though and it's not too sweet. When I have been in class other people have walked in and said how nice some ones perfume is, the teacher said "oh that's mine" only the person then went round the room and said it was my hair and the teacher looked embarrassed.. Which I found rather amusing :P Oh and when I was in my dad's van on the way home from college he put the heaters on and my hair was waving around in the air - Like Jedward! And my hair smelled sooo good! :D I think if someones hair smells good, you definitely notice them!

If you spray normal perfume on your hair. please stop, it's not good for your hair!
You can get this Herra perfume here for £24.99, I only use a little bit so it lasts a long time. I mean it keeps your hair hydrated, protects against pollution - when I went to London with college I made sure I took this as the air there is different to where I live, it's like you can feel the polluted air :s It would be a great present for someone special at Christmas too!

What do you think of this product? Do you use a perfume or thinking of using one?

PinkyParadise circle lenses

**A circle lens is a type of contact lens that is particularly popular among those in the Eastern, they create the effect of a larger iris. In the eastern countries, the circle lens could be considered as makeup as they are so common to be worn on a daily basis by so many people. A Circle lens is a cosmetic contact lens, also generally known as big eye circle contacts, which has a wide black ring on the outside widens your eyes’ iris, creating an adorable appearance that you'll fall in love with. Circle lenses are really reputable in countries like South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and other Asian countries, but they're starting to become popular across the globe because Lady Gaga wore them in her “Bad Romance” music video. Lady Gaga’s eyes were probably partially computer generated, so their lenses won’t have quite the same effect- but they will make your eyes look wider and larger.**

I got a pair circle lenses from Pinky Paradise a few months ago, I wrote a basic post about them here. I have been trying to get these things in for the time I have had them, I have used blue contact lenses before from a UK retailer and after a little practice I got them in easy. I liked those blue ones while I was indoors, however when I went outside they almost 'glew' and they looked like lizard or snake eyes or something... I thought that was pretty cool but other people was like 'OH my god, how come your eyes are so bright?!'

So when it came to picking a pair of circle lenses from Pinky Paradise I thought I should go for a natural colour that blends in well with my eye colour. There are many celebrities that wear circle lenses such as Lady GaGa, Paris Hilton etc - you can see them on my previous post.

I had been trying to get these in for w while, which made my eyes quite sore but I finally got them in last night! I came down stairs to show my parents, but they had some friends over. One of their friends was lecturing me on the dangers of circle lens's I was just like 'Oh my Gawddd'. She was going on about how normal contact lens's are made for your eyes so they are the right shape/size etc so these can damage my eyes - I don't no about that one... She was also saying how you can get infections from them - Well I followed all of the instructions, used the proper solution etc checked that they were clear etc. If they wasn't clear and I hadn't of followed the instructions, I wouldn't have put them in my eyes as that could be dangerous. I checked hundreds of reviews on Pinky Paradises website, other peoples blogs, facebook pages etc and I was pretty happy.

I had just gotten out the shower and dried my hair so its all poofy and crazy -.-

Basically the top one is my natural eye colour, middle is my right eye with the lens in and bottom one has both lenses in. The lighting does change in the photos as I had to put the lights on. My natural eye colour is brown... But on these photos it looks greeny brown, any whoooo :P

The lenses definitely make my eyes look bigger, and I think more doll like.  These are worn daily in some countries, however I wouldn't do that. I mean it could be part of their makeup routine to wear these... But I don't wear makeup most of the time unless I'm going out-out, or I want to look nicer so I would wear them more for occasions I think. I might wear them to college, but it would never be something where I'm like 'I have to put in my lenses!' everyday. I get up at 6 and have an hour before I have to leave for college so it's easier not to wear makeup etc - Unless I get a spot that looks like a bus would crash on it, then I'll cover it up :P These are amazing though! I love the effect it gives and I'm pretty sure these would look awesome on a photo shoot!

I don't no how to tell if the lens is inside out, on the website it said 'The correct position of lenses should follow the right side panel. If you come across the left side panel, it means the lens is turned inside out.' I just left them the way they were in the bottle. 

What I thought:

It took me ages to get them in (were talking a few months) because I hate going near my eyes and I cant help but flicker them around like a scared butterfly or something - So I won't blame that on the lenses.Once I actually got them in it took like a minute or so for my eye to stop running then they were fine. Although the right lens, I could see double vision - blurred around the edges of objects. 

I loved the effect it gave to my eyes, they were more striking and you just have to look at them. They blend really nicely into my eye colour, it's the black ring around the edges that makes my eyes appear to be bigger. For some reason it reminded me of on Twilight when the vampires are hungry...

These lenses are the MiMi Chocolate Brown which you can get by going to their website and putting 'Geo Princess MiMi Chocolate Brown' into their product search bar. They cost $23.90, however they deliver internationally (I'm from the UK and I have got them). These lenses last a year from opening, however you must change the solution every time you use the lenses. It comes with a free animal case - mine was some cute yellow elephant ones :) It also came with a free gift, which looks like pink Velcro of some kind, it wasn't in English but there was a picture on the packet with a girl using it o pull her hair back so she can put her lenses in.
