The
Last 24 – 36 hrs have been really busy; I attended one graduation ceremony and
have another one today. I’m very happy to see my siblings graduate!
However,
prior to getting spruced up, I had a few things to do. I usually just wear the
first thing(s) I see – here was the end result:
Jacket - Zara (as seen in this post) Bag - Zara Hoodied Jumper - Nike Jeans - New Look Boots - H&M (as seen in this post)
I
absolutely love my Nike hoody; I’ve had it for years and I don’t think I’ll
ever get rid of it. Combined with my Zara jacket, I had no issue with the cold
especially as temperatures have dropped in the UK – it was very warm. I’m
thoroughly enjoying my studded boots, though the way I walk in them you can
hear me coming before you see me!
So, I’ve not posted for the best part of this month. For a
variety of reasons, mostly concerning that little thing called Lifewhich has included but not limited to crazy times at work, running
errands for my family watching hilarious new shows Girls (Sky Atlantic) and
Some Girls (BBC3) and re-discovering my love for banana cake.
I
could/should apologise, but the reality I have come to face is that I may not
be able to blog as often as I intended to……..and I now don't feel as bad as I did around 10 November 2012.
Having said that I do owe my blog and its readers a few
posts! Hence why this has been posted at an erratic hour :¬)
Wanted to show off a small purchase made about 2 weeks
ago:
Sleek Blush, £4.49 An addition to my tiny (and often wasted) make-up collection!
Without flash
With flash
I saw a post on Sleek Blush in Rose Gold by another
blogger (who for the life of me I cannot remember – the perils of blog surfing!
I remember it was a British Blogger…..). I was very intrigued by the shimmer
and wanted to get one for myself. I saw the Sunrise Blush as well; even though
prima facie (“on the face of it”) they looked the same, Rose Gold had a lot
more shimmer than Sunrise. I felt that Sunrise was more of a blush and would
suit my skin better – I think it’s warmer, whereas Rose Gold was more of a
party blush. And the price ain't so bad either.
Since I bought it, I have only tested it for the purpose
of my blog, but I hope to give it a full try out when I attend my younger
brother’s graduation. And with that I’m off to get a bit of ‘beauty’ sleep, but I will leave you with a song (and video) that has been seducing my ears:
With
the darker, colder days firmly in place many people will now be shopping for
their winter wardrobe.
I
have actually been reviewing the clothes in my possession and a significant
amount has gone on eBay or to charity. Having said that, I then have space to
buy a few more things!
My
latest arrival (because I purchased them online a while ago) are these studded low heel boots from H&M:
Studded Shoe Boots (not real leather) - H&M, £29.99 Can be bought here
I
like that these boots are a simple style; I also like that it has a low heel;
very practical. My mum says I walk like a soldier (hahaha!) so I can’t really
be running about London in impractical heels.
The
stud detail is subtle; the studs make the boots stand out without being too in
my face. It’s a style that I believe I can rock well into next winter.
