22.11 tag catch up

I hope everyone is having a great weekend,
please excuse lack of outfit posts; I’m sick and therefore slobbing around in nothing exciting/post worthy! Hopefully tomorrow, or Tuesday I’ll feel like donning something other than jogging bottoms or PJs!

I’ve been tagged a couple of times over the last week or so, and I’m finally getting around to catching up.
Firstly, toothfairy tagged me to reveal 10 beauty facts about myself.

1. I don’t have a skin care routine as such, it depends how lazy I feel from day to day.

2. My skin care staples include Tesco vitamin E facial wipes (at 26p per pack, and currently 3 for 2, these are a total bargain) and Kate Logan Beauty products, especially the borage cleansing oil and the borage and calendula skin balm.

3. I am addicted to eyeshadow, and am a bit of a snob as I only use MAC. However, personally, I’d rather pay more for an eyeshadow and get great payoff, and have it last longer, than have to buy several cheaper equivalents.

4. I find it impossibly hard to find a foundation light enough for my skin. I am currently favouring Babara Daley’s range for Tesco.

5. I’m hopeless at little things like painting my nails.

6. I hate hate hate my hair, but hate having it played with even more. I am in desperate need of a haircut and WILL be booking one soon!

7. I’m a lipbalm junkie.

8. My day to day lipstick is Angel, by MAC for the perfect subtle pink sheen.

9. I’m insanely attracted to anything sparkly and own about 12 glitter eyeliners.

10. My favourite perfumes are Anais Anais, and Daisy by Marc Jacobs.

As always, I don’t know who to tag, so if you fancy doing this, then be my guest

Ok,
my concentration is waning,
I’ll do my next tag tomorrow 🙂

Happy Friday! The end of another week, and only 5 weeks to go to Christmas, how bloody scary is that?!

Thanks for the lovely comments on my last post, for those of you who asked; it is indeed a top worn under the dress.

I have a couple of tags/awards to do and pass along, which I promise I will do over the weekend. I have a few bits and pieces to get done today so this is a fairly quick post!

Yesterday I wore:

The dress is a new member to my wardrobe (with many thanks to covertcandy and their awesome vintage shop), and the boots are 3 years old now (I think!)

Today I’ve gone for a more dressed down approach:

What are your weekend plans?
I’m working tomorrow and visiting my grandparents,
and as far as I know, Sunday will be a lovely quiet day where I can catch up on tags and make some more jewellery.

Have a good one, whatever you do!

Hey guys, happy mid-week. How’s it going?
Not much happening in my little patch of the world. Just general everyday coming and going, and avoiding the still awful weather.

Quick outfit post today before I head out for wanderings with my Mum. We’re having lots of girly time this week, with Dad being away, it’s rather nice. Yesterday we went to the local garden centre to look at the Chrismtas displays (some were hilariously awful) and pick up a few bits,
today we’re off for a meeting that I need to attend and them window shopping in the next town along.

I’m getting awfully tempted by the high street sales that seem to be cropping up. I already succumbed to New Look (a skirt and leggings for £16.50…score!) and I’m trying my best to ignore the rest of them as I am severley lacking in funds!

Have a great day!

Morning all, Happy Monday and start of another new week! I hope its going to be a good one.
What did you get up to this weekend? UKers, I hope the weather wasn’t too awful for you, we had the worst of it Saturday, it was scary at times (or, I’m a wimp!)

Outfit today:

The top is actually a vintage dress, which I bought because I loved the detail on the front,
however, I didn’t take my height in to consideration and I feel it is far too short to be worn as a dress. Having being sat in my wardrobe for 3 months, I finally decided to pair it with the “jeggings”.

Thanks for the amazing feedback on my jewellery, all but the compass are still available, so drop me an e-mail if your interested.

Have a great day!

outfit and jewellery for sale

Weekend at last! Oh man am I relieved (apart from the whole having to work tomorrow morning thing)
How’s it been for you?
A better one over here, just cold, with miserable weather and too little sleep, but I’ll live. I’m starting to get in to the Christmas spirit and caught myself humming a festive tune this morning.

Outfit today = slobby,
because I have no need to leave the house thanks to my best friend/personal shopper, Trudi.

All I have planned is lots of curling up under blankets, working my way through the stack of magazines I seem to have.
