Playing Chloë Sevigny

My friend is having a coctail party later, and the dress code is 'formal'. This poses quite a challenge for me, my wardrobe consists of numerous denim cut offs and old bodycon skirts... not really formal attire!
I'm going to wear a thrif found Joseph blazer to make my outfit look formal and add some Chloë Sevigny style makeup- she always looks expensive and chic without trying too hard!

One flaw in this plan; I'm really not good at this makeup malarkey. I can't apply the stuff without it looking like a blind and limbless creature has done it. So far, I've just put on some L'Oreal Paris Rouge Penelope lipstick.

I still need to work on my eyes and the rest of my face- maybe start with some foundation or blusher if I can find any!

Any tips on makeup application?- links to blogs and youtube channels would be much appreciated!

Oh and guess what...MY FOLLOWERS HAVE GONE AGAIN!!!

Sea of Love- Cat Power

Such a beautiful song

Just a quick post to cover a few things-
Firstly, you may have seen my cry for help yesterday when my followers disappeared- well, Blogger has kindly decided to return them, so thanks fot that Blogger :)

Secondly, the gorgeous Rosa at Effingo has awarded me the 'One Lovely Blog' award.

Thank you so so so much Rosa; it makes me so happy to know that people are reading and enjoying my blog! I won this award last week, please check out the post if you want to find out the 7 facts!

Thanks for everyone who has commented and followed, I now have 63 followers and really appreciate it!

Oh, a little explanation for the title. I HATE use of the so called 'word' 'bbz', but I'm trying to get over things that I dislike, so I thought I'd start of with something small!

Remember to leave blog links if you comment so I can check out your blogs!

Where oh where have my followers gone?

BLOGGER, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY FRIENDS?!

Excuse me, I would like my followers back please, they're all lovely people and I'm sure they have never done anything to upset you. It's a little bit rude to just take them away from me, don't you think?

Has anybody else been a victim? I edited my page and the gadgets at the side, and all of a sudden, you all disappeared!!!

A/W'11

WHAAAAT?! A/W'11 ALREADY?! I don't know about you but my summer has barely started- there's been torrential rain for the past three days, with out even a hint of sunlight! I haven't even started summer shopping yet! I'm thinking I go and buy an Apache poncho or gorilla jacket instead of a bikini!

I recieved an email from ASOS highlighting the trends of A/W'11. My favourite trends are probably Wild Things, Heritage and Cowboys and Indians. What are your favourite trends?

Hype and comment here

I have no idea how to embed a look into a post, so heres my look, and there's the link! Let's do it the old fashioned(ish) way!

Can't stop listening to this song, even though the weather isn't exactly what you call summery (the sky's rather grey looking and the wind just wont stop where I live), this song gives me a glimmer of hope that summer can exist- even in south east London!

Does anyone know how I can link youtube videos as songs, just showing the little grey bar at the bottom? I've realised that the ammount of links I post HUGELY slows down the loading of my blog!

I wannabbey Abbey Lee

I know it's incredibly clichéd  to post a picture of someone pretty and say you want something of theirs- but the truth is, I want to be Abbey Lee!

There's something about her ethereal beauty that's so appealing to me- I saw an interview with her on Fashion TV and she seemed very down to earth and calm. I have to say I was fixated voice as well as her beauty- it's so smooth and relaxing!

Lykke Li

Jai Paul (not the rubbish Drake version)

Johnny Flynn and Laura Marling

Santogold

I could go on and on, but I should really save some for a later post- maybe I'll do this once a month? What do you think?
