30 Day Snap #5 | Doughballs and Laughs

Two posts in one day....tut tut tut.

Chosen photo: food, OF COURSE.

So today, a group of friends and I went out for a lovely meal to Pizza Express (a really amazing pizza and pasta restaurant in England). I got my usual, doughballs and a margherita pizza. (Adventurous, I know...) It was just a nice afternoon with good company and delicious food. I mean, my mouth waters just looking at that photograph....I can still taste them. :p

Keep posted for tomorrow's photo of the day!

30 Day Snap #4 | Take The Crown Tour

Hey y'all,

I am so sorry I couldn't post this for you yesterday when it was due, but I did only get home at 12:00am and therefore did not have time to post.

After ALOT of photographs, I decided to go with one of the finale shots.

I had so much fun and spent the whole day dancing and singing along to Olly Murs and Robbie Williams! It was such an amazing day and I decided to choose this shot because you can see all the people, him, the stage and the fireworks and the atmosphere. If you want to see more of the photos I took then just click here to go to my other blog where more selected photos have been posted!

Keep following me guys!!! Let me know your thoughts!

30 Day Snap #3 | The Dog and The Rabbit

Yooo, 

Looovvving this challenge, I have taken so many photos since I started, and I've had to choose my photo of the day out of quite a few. 

I'd like you all to meet Max the dog and Bubbles the rabbit, both playing huge parts in my life. Spending every weekend and holiday with my aunt and uncle allows me to snuggle up with my dog whom I love very much and my cousins rabbit, who actually scares me a bit, even though he is so cute. 

Just wanted to show you a rare sight of a dog and a rabbit being best friends that actually play with and love each other. This photo is one of many (believe me, catching a rabbit in a photo isn't easy, especially when it's hyper) and I wanted to share it with you because I love them both so much and it is adorable.

P.S: Tomorrows photo is gonna be AWESOMMEEEEEE, if you follow me on twitter you'll probably see my excited tweets throughout the day ;)

30 Day Snap #2 | Graduation Ball

Hey guys, 

Day two of the challenge:

So at my job today, we did silver service for this beautiful ball which is held for the leaving students and parents. It's a beautiful evening, where the guests show up in ball gowns and diamonds and there is live music in this elegantly decorated marquee. The lights and canopy created such an atmosphere and it was a fun evening I was glad to be a part of. 

Keep following me through the challenge and let me know your thoughts, and link me if you decide to partake too :)

30 Day Snap #1 | The Art Room Is My Haven

Hi guys, 

So this is day one of the snap challenge. I just wanted to do this because I was inspired, all the information is in my previous post. I just thought it would be really fun and let you guys find out more about me through photographs.

So these are the steps leading to the art room at my college. They are painted really colourful and I love it because it instantly gets me feeling creative as I go to lessons or to do extra work. The photo is quite bright and you can't see, but the walls are painted too.

I wanted this to be my first photo, because it lets you know I'm quite artistic and creative and it shows you how my week days usually begin.

Let me know if you're joining in the loop ;)

30 Day Snap Challenge!

Hello everyone, 

♥I have been inspired by Louise, also known as 'sprinkleofglitter'  (a beauty blogger), who did the 30 day snap challenge and I think only has 4 days left now. :(

♥I was really inspired by her beautiful photos that she managed to capture everyday and still write a little piece on her blog. I also loved the idea of daily blogging, because I definitely don't blog enough, and this will challenge me and set me a task to do everyday.

♥If you haven't heard of 'sprinkleofglitter'. Go check her out, on Youtube and on her blog because she is amazingly hilarious, and has the most beautiful baby girl called Darcy. 

♥The rules are simple. Upload one photograph every day. You don't need to use an amazing camera, you could even use your phone, you just have to take and upload one picture a day. Most of my pictures will probably revolve around my house or college, but I will try to "spice it up" for you guys.

♥I challenge all readers to try it too, even if you don't have a blog, do it on twitter or instagram or facebook.

Send me links, if you decide to do it. I'd love to see your ideas!

I think it will be a fun 30 days and I hope you keep popping back to follow me through this challenge.

Thanks for reading and join in!!

London Haul

Hello,

So, it's been like a thousand years since I last even looked at my blog, and I apologise to all my lovely followers who have probably been like "so...this is great."

♥But GOOD news. I went to London today and of course went crazy, and I did think of you guys, so I took some photos of the things I bought and I am going to share them with you.

BEAUTY

♥The above is the beauty selection. I went mad at Topshop because I swear the London store is the only one to do makeup and it's not everyday i'm in London so I wanted to get all the things I needed whilst I was there.

This is the "Browzings shaping kit" from the Benefit range. It is quite expensive £23.50, but if you like doing your eyebrows dark and notice that pencil rubs off and goes all patchy then I would highly recommend this. It lasts all day and doesn't smudge, the actual product lasts a long time too so it is worth the money.

These are two of the 'BarryM' blushers that I purchased in Topshop. I usually get 'Coralista' from Benefit but I want to try other colours and see if I can create different makeup looks. It doesn't actually say what name these blushers are, but on the back the orangey shade says BL7 and on the pink shade it says BL2. They are really pigmented and last a while and I thought it was good because they are only £4.50 each.

This is a Topshop cream highlighter, contouring and blush set. It doesn't have a name but if you go looking for it in Topshop, you will definitely see it. I thought it would be really easy to have it as a set because it's small and I can take it anywhere. i.e ( on the plane, or a train journey). It's just handy and the creams I just apply with a foundation brush or my finger and blend. It's about £12.50 which is not expensive considering how many parts it comes with.

From left to right. the first lipstick is called 'see sheer' by MAC, £15, the second lipstick is '111 Kiss of life' from the Rimmel Kate Moss Range, £5.49 and the last lipstick is Infrared from Topshop, £8. They are all really pigmented and last all day which I love. I have really got into lipsticks this year and I will have a beautiful collection by the end of the year :)

♥Some other things that were in the main beauty photo that I didn't elaborate on:

- benefit's 'the POREfessional'

- the 'real techniques' makeup brushes

- basic eyebrow brush

- the vintage cosmetic company 'nancy' fake lashes.

CLOTHING

♥This top is from forever 21 and it's a lemony bright colour and a polyester sheer fabric. I loved it because of it's different colour and the scalloped collar.

 ♥I liked this top because of the torn effect on the sleeves and the tie-dye effect. I think it would look really nice tucked into some shorts or disco pants or whatever, but I like the mint colour because it's girly.

♥I liked this top, again because of the mint colour and because it is a crop. I love that you can wear it with basically everything and it wasn't that expensive either.

♥I was drawn to this top because of it's luminous, bright yellow colour. I thought that it would look really good with a tan and again it's a crop (which I love). It's different to other tops because of it's colour and I like that.

♥I also picked up these cute salmon, coral colour socks as I was waiting to pay. I love how cute and girly they are and I think they will look good with skirts and dresses.

♥Lastly, I also did buy some black disco pants in Topshop, but the photo didn't come out great and well, you all know what disco pants are. And I got some high waisted black swimsuit bottoms, because I know they'd give weird tan-lines, but I think they are super feminine and they look really cute on. I also got one of Lola's cupcakes, of course. :)

♥In Victoria's Secret I got two bikini tops, with cute frills at the top, black and a teal/green colour and some panties...but I think taking photos of that and putting them on the internet is a bit weird and well, they're personal. ;)

Thanks for reading this blogpost and I hope you enjoyed it.

Please, comment, share and follow :)

ALSO I got a new camera :DDDDDDDDD yaaaaay, super happy. It's a canon EOS 1100D and I love it :) Just wanted to share my happiness ;) It also means, the quality of my photos will get better and I'll probably be posting more. Byee:)
