Ballet evening out

The other night I went to the theater with my mum, I have been ballet since I was 4 and only have one grade left until I am a professional and I have never actually seen a proper professional ballet, we watched the nutcracker performed by the Vienna Festival Ballet. I fully fully recommend going to see them , even if you aren't a ballerina I will guarantee that you will enjoy it.

Look through their website and look online to see when they are touring near you.

 This was what I did with my hair, I did a french braid across the front of my head then bought it round into a side pony tail, I covered the hair band with the end of the braid and gripped it into place using bobby pins cute yet elegant.

 This is what I wore, a pink Hollister shirt with the cutest floral pattern at the bottom, my disco pants are from newlook and I glamed up the outfit with a blazer I got from a charity shop, as good as new for something like £6. I wore this outfit with my biker boots I got last winter in the sales from Shoe Zone.

Surprisingly for me I didn't do anything special on my nails I just painted them pink to match my top.

Unfortunately I couldn't take pictures during the performance its a shame because I would have shared them with you so sorry about that

An autumn day

Recently I went on a lovely walk with some friends and the cutest seven year old! We walked around a lake in Windsor Great Park called Virginia water, I am being serious that is what is it called! It was a long 7.2km walk, we didn't get to walk all the way round the lake as it was getting dark so we had start heading back.
I apologize for the poor picture quality as I didn't have my camera on me so I had to use my phone, which is such a shame as the colours of the leaves and the reflexion on the water just made the whole place so photogenic.
There was a beautiful waterfall and we all stood there for ages mesmerised by the natural beauty.

Any way so a quick update on my life,
Unfortunatly a couple of weeks ago my mum was diagnosed with cancer, it was a big shock for all of my family , we are all trying to be strong about it but it is going to be hard, I feel like by sharing this with you guys I am letting a massive weight off my shoulders. unfortunately due to this I am unable to go to clothes show live this year, I was looking so forward to it and I was going to blog for you guys however I am defiantly going next year hopefully when my mum is better so I cant wait, my friends have been so supportive through all of this I don't know if they will read this but thanks guys. That is why they took my out for the walk and they kindly let me stay the night afterwards so yeah that's about it.
Don't forget to follow guys it would mean alot to me at the moment and comment below if you have any tips about this sort of thing because I really don't know how to feel 

bye guys love you xx

Easy nail art for beginners DIY

I understand that people out there don't have all the special nail art tools so I have come up with some tutorials that you don't need any special tools for just things that can be found around your home.

This tutorial is using tape, every day normal sellotape.

This can be done with any colours you want I used green to go with the outfit I wore today but it is so easy to do.

I used a dotting tool for this tutorial but you can use a bobby pin (hair grip) or a cocktail stick.

So lets get started!

For this you will need tape, scissors, a white nail polish, a dotting tool or a bobby pin or cocktail stick, and a light shade and a dark shade of your chosen colour.

 Step 1

Paint on the light shade as your base colour, leave to dry properly.

 Step 2

Cut a piece of tape along the half way line and cover half your nail with tape.

 Step 3

Paint the darker shade on the side of the nail not covered by tape, don't be afraid to go onto the tape as this will create a better line.

 Step 4

Peel off the tape around 1 minute after applying the darker shade. Dip the dotting tool (or what ever you used) into the white nail polish, do dots along the line. when completely dry put on a top coat and your finished.

This is so easy and simple, it looks neat and professional, if you got this in a nail salon it would cost you between £15-£20 and you can do it in your own home with some simple house hold thing in less than 15 minuets and for hardly any money.

Remember to send me your versions and interpretations and any requests you have. 

Bye have fun painting xxx

Autumn is here!

Its November which means Autumn is definitely upon us and winter is only a few weeks away, this means more layers and less time out doors.
Autumn is my favorite season, all the colours of the leaves on the ground, it is so picturesque.

These things just make autumn feel like autumn, when these come out of the wardrobe and cupboards everyone in my house knows its autumn.

 This is my favourite autumn look at the moment, the reason I added a blazer is because the day I wore this i had to dress formally, but it could easily  be made casual with a leather jacket instead. I got the dress from New Look for only £14.99, it fits really nice and snug and the colours are dark with a hint of brightness just to add a some colour to the outfit. I suggest you try it on as I am quite petite but the size 6 was to tight so I had to opt for a size 8.

Warm jumpers and cardigans are a must have in these cold times, everyone needs that one jumper that they wear all the time for comfort and warmth this is mine, it is actually my mums but I 'borrowed' it..

Your feet get cold during the autumn and winter months so a pair of thermal socks or fluffy slippers is essential, I got mine from Primark for £1.50 a bargain, they are so cute and girly and keep my feet so toasty warm.

In the limited times you do go outside, it is important to keep warm, this is why I love my Super Dry coat, it is so thick and so warm, I don't know what I would do without it, because it is from Super Dry it is quite expensive at £69.99 but I have worn it almost every time I go out since I bought it so I have definitely got my moneys worth, well worth the buy!

In the cold months I love sitting by the fire, the heat coming from the flames heats up the whole room and it just makes me really happy, if I am lucky we even toast marshmallows, autumn is just the best. 

 I love Yankee candles, this one is by far my favorite, it is a really nice autumn fragrance.
It is an exotic blend of banana and vanilla with an unexpected addition of cinnamon  and clove. It is earthy and has a pleasing smell, I have a number of different Yankee candles and this is the perfect time of year to use them as they are very relaxing. They also have a special 25% of another one of my favorite autumn candle called Fire Side Treat, it smells of toasted marshmallows...mmmmm...

Comfort food in my case chocolate, it is nice to treat your self at this time of year, the cold weather and all the effort that goes into going outside, a small treat here and there really bumps up your energy and self esteem. For me there is nothing better than wrapped up in a blanket sitting by the fire eating a box of chocolates, sheer bliss!

I love my Primark py bottoms they are so warm and I would wear them outside if I could but I would look a bit weird. I got these in part of a set for something like £6, they come in many other colours and are perfect for lounging around at home in.

 

 It is a true sign of Autumn when the Jack Wills catalog gets delivered. I use this as inspiration for looks as I can't actually afford anything in the catalog apart from a pair of socks. 

And what would top of a perfect autumn evening well putting my onesie on of course, I got mine from Matalan for £12, it is super soft and fluffy and the pattern is so cute, it is quite baggy on me but that just adds something more, I feel more comfy. 

I am not sure how this blog went, I am thinking of doing another Christmas one just let me know by giving me feed back.

Halloweeen

As you may know Halloween is a big deal, oh hell of course you know, every one likes to dress up and go out, but in my mind its just another excuse for me to get creative with nail designs. This tutorial is simple and easy however you you do need the following tools to create this Frankenstein nail design.

You will need:

Barry M textured nail polish in "Ridley Road"

Barry M nail art pen in "black"

Different size dotting tools, For this tutorial I used a large one

17 black nail polish 

 None of these are essential, you could use any green nail polish or any black nail polish. However the black nail art pen is needed for this design but you can use any other brand, if you do not have any dotting tools then you can use either a cocktail stick or a bobby pin.

Step 1

Paint the green as the base coat, I used a textured one because I think it just adds another level to the design.

Step 2

With the nail art pen, draw a zig zag line across the nail and then fill it in, this is the hair of Frankenstein

Step 3

Dip the large dotting tool into the black nail polish and add eyes to the design.

Step 4

With the nail art draw the mouth

Step 5

Finish off the details on the mouth using the nail art pen

That is the finished design, I hope you guys like it, I tried to do the simplest design I could think off and tried to do the steps in small stages so it is easier to follow, if you did these send tag me in them on either twitter or instagram I would love to see what you guys come up with.

Love you bye xxx
