Miracle Eye

Finally bought a rainbow tie dye dress from Miracle Eye!  I've been wanting it for ages and it arrived not so long ago.  I'll try take some outfit photos soon so I can show it off but for now you'll just have to make do with looking at the smiley rainbowy package!

Made of the stars

The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way they could get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.” - Lawrence M. Krauss

Sweetpea & Fay




A little while ago I saw a blogger review post of Sweetpea & Faye cosmetics on a blog and it was compared to Lime Crime cosmetics, which I'm a huge fan of, yet haven't been able to afford any of their products as of yet.  The high pigment lip glosses are $7.99 each so not cheap, considering I don't really buy lipgloss, but the review was good and the price is less than Lime Crime, so I bought two lipglosses; Beluga and Ranunculus.  When they arrived I was so excited until I went to put it on.  The consistency is really thick and gooey, and not the good kind.  I couldn't get an even coverage even when I layered it and the colour is hardly noticeable, as well as turning out to make my lips look a really weird brown colour.  I tried mixing the gloss with vaseline, putting primers on and so on and I just can't get along with the product.  I don't normally do reviews, and I especially don't like posting negative things on my blog but I was really disappointed by this brand.  I think this is a prime example of paid advertisements/reviews on blogs and false opinions in order to gain brand popularity.  Since I bought this product I've seen some reviews of the new lipglosses Sweetpea & Fay have brought out and am interested in buying the product yet the quality of the products I've bought have really let me down, So i'm reluctant to do so.  Do any of you own Sweetpea & Fay products? If so have you experienced any problems?

I'm lost without you

Some of you may know that I'm exploring animation for my current college project.  This is just one of the many GIFs I have to show you.  I went to develop my Nishika camera today (the one with 4-lenses) and I thought the film was all rolled up so opened the back, only to discover at my horror that it was still exposed.  I wasted a tenner on like 6 useable pictures of 24 that I could have had.  So annoyed with myself and my coursework is now further delayed, not a good day!

The days are going by so quickly these past few weeks which is so odd, but I'm not complaining!  I've got graphics and photography exams going on at the moment which I should probably be a little more worried about, seeing as I'm pretty behind.  I had a party this weekend where I dressed up as a china doll which was fun.  Unfortunately there aren't any pictures whatsoever which is a shame as I spent quite a while on my makeup.  The weather is really picking up lately and I'm looking forward to the clocks changing as it'll be lighter when I get home after college, bring on the summer!

I am not a robot

Just two of the many things that I've bought recently!  Ella Masters had a blog sale the other day and thankfully I saw the it literally 5 minutes after it was posted as I managed to find some gems.  I got a lovely scalloped peter pan collar top and an awesome vintage jumper with sheep on it, both only £4 each. I'm honestly so happy with my purchases and urge you to check out the post here, she still has some bits left!

You can make your own decisions, you can make your own mistakes

This is another one of the illustrations I made for my graphics project.  I'm so into tie dye everything at the moment so obviously my work had to include it.  I've got a lot of stuff I've bought recently to show you guys, which may or may not include two items of tie dye clothing, oopsy!  I've been super busy with my shop at the moment as I've had so many orders lately and I'm thinking of revamping it a little, so it looks more professional, its just the getting round it that's the difficult part!

I'm just a man, not a hero


I'm basing my latest photography project around animation so while I was in france I took a ton of pictures of my boyfriend smoking on the balcony (as you do).  I've yet to finalise the two animations so I thought I'd post some of the pictures I took.  They weren't edited with photoshop so it's pretty basic but I needed something to post!

Not posted an outfit in a reeeaaally long time! I should be able to post more often as it's still light when I get home now.  It's a little different to the outfits I've posted in the past but hope you like it!

Not really an interesting week if I'm honest!  The weather was so nice yesterday and I even managed to take some outfit photos, which is something I haven't done in a while.  However, today it was snowing so I'm super confused!  I've been researching more for a first car and found one that I like which my dad will pay for, but then I also have to pay £2000 for insurance so I need to get a job to earn the money. I'm going into Reading tomorrow to hand out some CVs;  I redid my old one and I must say I'm pretty happy with it so we'll just see how it goes!
