'In The City, In The City Tonight'



Top: Primark
Skirt: Ebay
Cardi: Primark
Ring: Primark
Bracelet: H.Samuel
Necklace: Peacocks


Oh hello awkward posing! Lets be honest.. i'm not really cut out for this 'modelling' thing.. oh well! Just a quick outfit post, i was feeling boring colours as the weather was crap. Tights would have been perfect, but it was waay to much effort to grab a pair for this picture! I may do a tutorial on this eye look? Its probably my favourite of the moment! Anyways, i will have some summery outfits coming soon, showing my top summer dresses :)
Hope your all well,

'Burnt Orange' Summer Eye.






So i have a tutorial coming up on my youtube channel tommorow (Insert link here) .. i would upload it tonight, but it's half 1 in the morning and it will take me a good hour to edit it, render it and then write in the description while the video uploads! So i've been wearing this look out a lot recently and thought it was very summer evening appropriate. I think next time i film a tutorial i am also going to write it as a step by step on here with pictures.. just because not everyone wants to sit through a video!

How i managed it..
I basically took 'ginger spice' from the front cover palette and put that all over the lid and under my eye. I then added a little bit of 'bracken' from the same palette and then you just want to blend blend blend.
After that you want to add a nice amount of liner with a little wing and your favourite mascara. Then your done! Simples.
I used a mac cream blush (the most coral toned i own) and a coral lipgloss from revlon and ta da!

Unfortunately i then had to go to work with this makeup on and felt a little bit overdone!
Well i hope you enjoyed. I will have more of a step by step next time!

Please Remember Me Once More

Dress: Peacocks
Belt: Primark
Rings: Topshop, My jewellery, Primark
Bracelets: Random Places
Bag: Primark
Necklace: My Jewellery

So it was a lovely day and i felt like braving a dress with my extremely pale legs! Due to working stupid amounts i havent had a chance to build up a nice fake tan, but oh well theres nothing wrong with pale! I really need to start excersizing though else i will never brave my shorts without tights this summer. 30 day shred is gonna start Monday at the latest seeing as i have nothing better to do with my life! There wasn't really a face shot in this due to the fact that its midnight and i have next to no makeup on! I am going to blog more regularly i prominse. But for now i must sleep.

Hope your all well,

Saturday Rambles

Oh hi there pink lips and winged liner

001. So i think i'm going to do a ramble post every week, i've seen a lot of people do these talking about there week. I also may do 'a week in pictures' type posts. Not suuure, i really need to get a posting routine on the go because i really enjoy it.

002. So i figured out how to use my canon properly for filming and got a decent editing software so i can make decent videos. Only problem is, when i render the video and get it ready to upload its takes like 2 hours, and i cant use my computer in that time because its so crap! But oh well, the things i do for youtube. I could just have it in 720p and i could then use my computer, but if i can film in 1080p then why waste it!

003. Celebrated 3 years with the boyfriend this week. Well i say celebrated, Were both way to poor to be doing anything extravagant so we just went to the cinema, had a nice cheapo meal and played a lot of pool! I now know what i want to do in life, become a pool champion. No but really.. i sucked until my boyfriend taught me how to play. He only did so he would be less embarassed to take me out with our friends and play pool in teams aha :)

004. Have been meaning to take photos of my outfits everyday to put on here.. but never seem to get roudn to it. I think for just outfit of the days i'm going to just do blog posts and then anything else fashiony will go on my youtube as well as here.. Just makes life easier for me. And then if your really interested in my 'fashion sense' then you can just come here and look.

005. Have eaten and drank way to much this week. I keep meaning to start the 30 day shred and eat healthy, but i just cant get motivated. I want to loose half a stone. I will start next week! Just need to find my motivation from somewhere.. dark corner in my room is probably where its hiding.

006. I was pretty sad with the whole youtube 'community' this week and have considered only making blog posts, as i think people can be so rude on there. Yes i know you put yourself out there bla bla bla. But to make someone want to stop doing something  they love because your jealous of them and there amazingness is just beyond discusting. Not mentioning any names but one of my favourite people on youtube was considering leaving because of all the bitchyness.. i mean come on! She's doing something amazing and making videos to help people and all they want to do is knock her down?!!
007. Back to the cinema anyways. Been twice in one week, me and the boyfriend are big movie people! Although i must say we dont often travel to the cinema to watch movies... (i know naughty us, but really who hasn't watched the odd film online) We went to see The hangover 2 (bleugh, nowhere near as good as the first one.. but then what did we expect!) And Bridesmaids, which i must say was hilarious! Definately reccomend it. Has anyone seen kung fu panda 2? we want to watch it because were little children, but is it worth paying for?

Right thats it. This was actually good fun to type. Definately gonna do a weekly ramble! Look out for an outfit post up this evening.. already have the outfit hanging up waiting for me ha :)

Hope your all well,

Lauraxo
