Round Three

song of the day - Knockin' by Travis Barker ft Snoop , Ludacris, E-40 & Dev.

Life has become so hectic at the minute. If I'm not at work then I'm applying for new jobs, and preparing for interviews. It feels like I don't get a minute to myself. I have today off, and I'm back in work tomorrow, so today I'm just going to chill out and do nothing.

I have been trying to plan out some blog posts, but it isn't going very well. Blogging for me has always and will always be just a hobby. It's never been something that I wanted to make into a job, because I think it could become a bit monotonous if I did. Even if my career direction went into something blogging related this blog would always be my little fun hobby. I love taking photographs, playing with makeup, and trying to have a bit of fun with my wardrobe, and I hope that fun continues.

The above outfit photos were taken almost exactly 2 months ago. I honestly can't remember what else I did that day. Why I wore this, or where I went. My dress is from Motel, and I probably should have sized up because it is very tight. Now, I don't mind tight clothing, but I can't do up the hook at the back of my neck without strangling myself (whoops). The shorts are my faves, and are from F21, and the shirt is an oldie from Topshop.

Get Your Act Together

song of the day - Wannabe by Spice Girls

 In my last post I was transported to the 70's, this time I'm firmly in the 90's. Sporty Spice called and wants her outfit back. This is probably my most comfortable outfit ever. It's the one I go for when I have to leave the house on my day off, but aren't really going anywhere special. Basically it's my fuck-I-have-no-food-in/best-get-to-Asda outfit.

I haven't worn trainers in around 3 years, but for the past year I've been lusting after a pair of New Balance's. When I finally decided to buy a pair it took me forever to pick the right ones. After a while I managed to find these beauties on ASOS and it was love at first sight.

Do you wear trainers?

Notify My Next Of Kin

song of the day - Wheel's On Fire by Julie Driscoll

My aesthetic? Patsy Stone without the drugs and alcohol.

It's no secret that I have been loving the seventies trend this year. When I spotted this skirt on the Missguided website a few weeks ago I knew I had to have it. They also have it in blue which I will not buy. I won't. Promise!

They Keep Photos Of Me

song of the day - Everyday I Love You Less and Less by Kaiser Chiefs 

Ever since OCC released the Unknown Pleasures collection last year I have been wanting to get my hands on Technopagan, especially after seeing the lovely Sarah rocking it. Last week I was browsing the Love-Makeup website and noticed Technopagan was finally (FINALLY) in stock. I may have done a happy dance.
Technopagan is a dark purple metallic colour, that looks blue in some lights. It's the best colour to wear when you want to feel a little bad-ass.

This is only the second lip tar I've ever tried from OCC, but I already like it more than the other I've tried (called Lydia). It's thicker, so it's a lot easier to apply. The only downside? It's not a quick-swipe-and-your-golden kind of lip product. For me it took about 10 minutes to apply.

Technopagan is long lasting, has great pigmentation, and makes you look fierce (Carlsberg don't do lip tars, but if they did...). What more could you ask for?

These Chanel Bags Is A Bad Habit

song of the day - Feeling Myself by Nicki Minaj ft Beyonce

Beyonce is Queen. Not a queen, or the queen, just Queen (don't forget the capital letter!). Bey is probably my biggest inspiration; she is a businesswoman, a mother, a friend, a sister, a wife. She is everything. I honestly don't know how Bey finds the time to do everything she does.
If you've not seen the Feeling Myself video (Nicki, my babe!) then you're probably wondering what the hell my outfit has to do with Queen Bey. In the vid (which is awesome and y'all should go watch asap) Yonce wears a red Bulls body similar to the one I'm wearing above. As soon as I saw the body on Instagram I knew I had to have it! I may not have Beys curves, but I think it looks alright.

So You Can Get To Know Me

song of the day - Hate It Or Love It by the Game ft 50 Cent

Iwas tagged by the lovely Renee to do the Love/Hate tag.

THE RULES

List ten things you love and ten things you hate.
Tag 10 other bloggers to do the tag next.

TEN THINGS I LOVE
1. Taking photographs Honestly, this is my favourite thing to do, ever. I've written about it many a time; how I love to go to Manchester and just take photos.
2. Coffee I love coffee so much, the only time I'll go a day without a brew is when I'm ill.
3. Art Be it looking at art, or making art, I could do it for days.
4. Shopping I think this one is kinda obvious.
5. Books In the past 4 years I have lost my enthusiasm for books slightly. When I was younger I'd read multiple books a week, now I only read a handful a year. But I still love finding a good book to get lost in.
6. Adventure I am a bit of a wuss, but if I have a friend with me I love going to new places. If I'm by myself I get a bit too anxious about getting lost.  
7. Good food Last week I had an enchilada for the first time and it was amazing. It made my whole day.
8. Lipstick I could play with lipstick all day long. Most days I have a few swatches on my arm from trying to decide which of my 30 lipsticks to use.
9. Sleeping I guess this is more about being all snuggly warm in bed than sleeping itself. Maybe this should actually just be 'comfort', because who doesn't love to be comfortable.
10. Christmas I'll admit, Christmas stresses me the hell out, but I just love that time of year. I love decorating, and buying/wrapping presents, and the atmosphere out on the streets. I love walking past a street where every house is decorated.
TEN THINGS I HATE
1. Spiders They scare the bejesus out of me. I know I'm bigger, but they creep me the hell out.
2. Blood and Needles This is the reason I never became a nurse. I can't even watch someone else get an injection. My grandad had an IV in the last time he was in hospital and I couldn't even look at him because of it.
3. Compact spaces I'm claustrophobic, so small spaces send me into a panic. This includes, but is not limited to, cellars, elevators, and car washes. Seriously, when I was little I made my mum stand outside of the car with me while my dad went through the car wash. I do have this under more control now that I'm older, but I'm still uncomfortable in these situations. 
4. Laziness I'm lazy. There, I said it. Every few months I'll start a workout routine, and keep it for a few days, then I just give up. 
5. People who think they no better I've had people judging me for the littlest things my entire life. I mean who hasn't. I try so hard not to judge people and I do fail on occasion, but I'd never tell a person how to live their life. 
6. Dentist My dentist is actually really nice, but I hate going. I'm really bad at looking after my teeth, so every time I go in I feel like I'm letting my dentist down by needing a filling.
7. Rude people A smile costs nothing. I know we all have bad days, but if you bump into someone it's only polite to say sorry.
8. Smoking Ok, so I wrote a little lie  two confessions back. If I'm close to you I might subtly hint you should quit smoking. And by subtle I mean obnoxiously coughing when you light up near me. Between me and my mum we did get my dad to quit smoking, it was hard work though.
9. Being a shopoholic I love shopping, but I hate spending money. It's a vicious circle.
10. Loudness I don't do well in loud situations, I don't do clubs or gigs. Even going to the cinema can be a bit much sometimes.

I'm not going to tag anyone in this, but if you do/have done it let me know and I'll check it out!
