FOREVER 21 OXFORD STREET, and a quick goodbye!

Slightly upset because my laptop broke yesterday, so I've managed to steal my brothers for a few minutes today to tell you all about what I did yesterday...

I WENT TO FOREVER 21 LONDON!!!

It opened yesterday and stock sold out almost immediately- I, infact, had to grab a shirt is size L as it was the last one there! I heard from all the shop assistants that once an item has sold out, IT'S GONE FOREVER! The queue was half an hour long, but the fact that they only make 100 or so of each item meant that no one was planning on giving up!

At the moment, I should be packing! I'm going to St Tropez tomorrow- can't wait! This does mean that I won't be able to update you for 2 weeks :( Sad times!

 My packing so far...

I'll be back in august with a 'month music' post, and WIWin St Tropez, 

Hope you're all having fabulous summers!

AU REVOIR, LAURA XX

for a reason

I don't have tumblr for a reason. I've been a master of procrastination from day one, so I don't need another distraction!

If I had tumblr, It would probably look like this

Concidering that I couldn't even spell the colour till today, let alone never having never warn it, I went a little mauve crazy! I went to East London and attended the East End Thrift Store's sale of all their old stock, and despite grabbing almost everything in sight (I say almost for a reason, I'll explain later) I only came out with one item- a gorgeous mauve blazer that cost £3!

Now, let me explain the 'almost'... Silly me, thrift sale virgin, thought it would be a good idea to have a browse then go back to the stuff I liked. Really, I couldn't have been more stupid! As I went back to collect the camel blazer I eyed up, I saw a woman grab it and add it to her collection! I changed my approach, and started grabbing everything in sight!

After the madness, I went to Spitalfields and got a pleated midi skirt from the Urban Outfitters sale- £10 reduced from £40!!!

I found Dirty Beaches on the Dazed and Confused website, LOVE IT!

GLITTAH

I've been seeing decorated nails EVERYWHERE, so I thought I'd give them a try.

'Scuse my fingers, I need to stop chewing them!

HOW TO DO GLITTER NAILS

1. Started with a base coat of Barry M Baby Pink nail varnish
2. Wait for it to dry and apply another coat on top, with this coat, wait until it gets to the 'sticky stage' when almost dry.
3. Brush over glitter eyeliner/ sprinkle on glitter and wait until the pink varnish sets
4. Go over with a see through coat.

The Naked and Famous- Young Blood

I've written a post on Who's Jack magazine online about Nail Art, give it a read if you'd like.

Has anyone else tried out any nail art?

Paris Blue

I went on tour to Disneyland Paris with my school orchestra (so cool ahah!) and performed a quick concert. The rest of the three days were spent either upside down or spinning! I went on pretty much all of the rides and despite being 16, had photos with loads of characters!


I'm not one for memorabilia, so when I came back I was armed with french food and magazines instead of Mickey Mouse ears and T-shirts. The magazines were significantly cheaper than the ones sold in England so I bought a few.

Ooh and I bought some Violet Lemonade (which, btw, tastes like soap...)

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!!!
