<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">I have been a little quiet these past few days, but in truth nothing much has happened that's worth blogging about, or that I have pictures for, and I didn't want to bore you with picture-less posts! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">I received my nail art dotting tool from Hong Kong yesterday, and thought I would try it out on my tootsies as it would be easier than trying to do my left hand with my shaky right hand. My toes are usually painted a standard nude or pink, but I wanted to jazz them up a bit in time for this great weather, while catching up with on One Tree Hill season 7 (I have watched EVERY other programme in existence) so here are a few pictures from my continued forays into nail art!</span><br />

</tbody></table><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">I used my newish brown from Models Own, which is currently my favourite shade in my collection, and I thought white dots would stand out more than nude. Obviously its not the neatest attempt, and I've seen many blogger's doing a far superior job, but I at least am pleased! The tool's came in a set of five with different sized nibs for about £1.50 of ebay so it was definitely worth purchasing, although it took around two or three weeks to arrive. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><br />
</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">What colour combo's would you like to see me try? Also I changed my blog background for hopefully the final time. As cute as my previous background was I didn't think that the light pastel colours reflected my personality - This OTT bright, glittery, jewellery wallpaper is much more Scarlett style, I hope you approve!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghLuQKVXmu33nX2GAwMN-ih3tkBSrwFG3RtAv_P2B5pXZrSNc3UN34mJMNvTjJHI5YY1O3XI-QFTiWVTVQYWK5vyII6UD6jnP1SybRvJ2XLN4I0MapmOVZqp9LJAp0E_sofjN0sprwCX4/s1600/loveee.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="124" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghLuQKVXmu33nX2GAwMN-ih3tkBSrwFG3RtAv_P2B5pXZrSNc3UN34mJMNvTjJHI5YY1O3XI-QFTiWVTVQYWK5vyII6UD6jnP1SybRvJ2XLN4I0MapmOVZqp9LJAp0E_sofjN0sprwCX4/s320/loveee.png" width="320" /></a></div></div></div>Scarletthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03041778938147537813noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838722174557687775.post-66523943034992092772011-03-23T23:28:00.000+00:002011-03-23T23:28:01.682+00:00Little Darling, It Seem's Like Years Since It's Been Clear<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">Wonderful weather in Southampton at the moment - I have a few girls from my course following my little blog so I'm sure they all know this! Thought I'd share with you something I wore to uni yesterday. I've really been embracing the seventies/hippy trend that's big for S/S and have found an way to update my chiffon blouses that saw me through 2010, by simply layering it with my new brown fringed waistcoat and lashings of jewellery - something I'm prone to wearing anyway. </span><br />

It's hard to see in the pictures, but it has a lovely detail around the neckline, and lovely floaty sleeves. I put on three long chains that I've had lying around for the past couple of years, and my new green pendant. I also wore some new rings, my sunflower headband, jeggings (because its not exactly boiling point...yet) some peep toe brown pumps from last summer, and a distressed faux leather peasant - style bag that I picked up in Primark for about a £1 last year, and forgot I had.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">I can foresee myself wearing this style for at least a few weeks, although I've also been obsessing a little over Aztec prints - maybe I will try and work a Aztec/hippy hybrid style someday soon?!</span><br />

Also Anna and I had our million pound drop interview (eek!) yesterday in London which was a fun but nerve-wracking experience, I'll let you all know how I got on as soon as I know. My mum brought me home some lovely new bits when she went shopping in Watford, so I finally have a wardrobe to match the weather!</span><br />

I wanted to paint a glittery triangle using 'Mystic Mauve', but couldn't decide whether it would look better on a lilac or pink base. In the end I decided to alternate colours, something I haven't done for years! I thought it would look pretty, and show me which colour worked best for future reference.<br />

I then whacked on liberal amounts of the glitter polish and left to dry. I did one hand at a time, making sure they were completely dry before removing the tape, and it really is as easy as that!<br />

My attempt looks like kids play compared to her beautiful nails, but you have to start somewhere! Models Own had a 3 for 2 promotion in boots, so I picked us these delectable shades -</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">Just as I decide to banish my spending, I have decided that my entire wardrobe is too dark and drab, and desperately needs a spring overhaul.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">The good news: I managed to persuade my mother to give me her card to online shop for 12(!) new pieces of jewellery I couldn't live without, a dress from Boohoo which is fast becoming my cheap online fall back fix, and numerous box-sets from Amazon to keep me occupied when I am procrastinating. T</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">hese new purchases have me salivating at the mouth, but the bad news... I can't actually use any of them until my birthday next MONTH!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">I feel like I have been hibernating this winter in layers upon layers and a nude and camel palette, and as the weather creeps towards acceptable I literally cannot wait to inject some colour into my s/s looks. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">The chic Camilla Belle has got me most excited about the colour block trend, and I actually think I might be a little bit in love with her in the below Gucci outfit, with the voluminous blown out barnet. The colours really, really should NOT work, but the emerald pants complement the purple top perfectly, and the tangerine blazer adds that extra zing. </span><br />

I'm generally quite a matchy-matchy girl, so it will be interesting to see if I can clash my colour blocks and be comfortable!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">I was absolutely in love with Mary Katrantzou's interior design inspired S/S 2011 collection when I first saw it, and as we tiptoe into spring I have found myself revisiting the collection on style.com. I have browsed all my usual online shopping haunts and have found absolutely nothing inspired by her show, and have even toyed with the idea of using transfer paper and printing similar images onto vest's and dresses, but that is just an idle thought at the moment.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">I think that they are gorgeous, and give off that 70's hippy vibe which also featured heavily on the catwalk, especially if paired with a large floppy hat. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">I've had a busy but nice couple of days since my last post. I have done a third of my 3000 word PR campaign for a high street store (which isn't due in until May!) and am on course to completing all my work that is due in this month. I'm feeling quite pleased with myself, as I'm usually the girl cramming to finish my work the night before.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">Even though I vowed not to go out again for at least a few weeks I was persuaded to go to Bliss on Thursday, where I met Rick Edwards of Tool Academy fame. He posed for pictures after his DJ set:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhgvKPm9TIf7Tav6Ij8bj22SxBvyqHXmmIGpfKkLxkH9xOT5YtvtLaqmo9tIWLZNzaZaX5RQSZXIPlct8N4UosAGD3EuclhQ4zzGLkWX9467c36nB7yiUVVTYhCHGJIPAtnxE6E0IlP9M/s1600/190375_10150108858135825_544290824_6604496_7733485_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><img border="0" height="269" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhgvKPm9TIf7Tav6Ij8bj22SxBvyqHXmmIGpfKkLxkH9xOT5YtvtLaqmo9tIWLZNzaZaX5RQSZXIPlct8N4UosAGD3EuclhQ4zzGLkWX9467c36nB7yiUVVTYhCHGJIPAtnxE6E0IlP9M/s320/190375_10150108858135825_544290824_6604496_7733485_n.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">He looked scruffy and a little bit out of it, and he is almost strangling me in this picture which I found quite amusing. I've managed to meet quite a few Z-list celebrities in my time - I might compile a post with all my stalker pictures one day!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">After refusing to get out of bed all day after my vodkafest, I eventually got up at 10pm and went over to my friends house for sweeties and Disney which was a really nice relaxing night.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">This morning I woke up refreshed and chirpy, and was enjoying my Saturday lunch in bed of tea and egg & cress sandwich when I thought I would write a beauty orientated post and let you all delve into my make-up bag, as I'm a little bit nosy and always interested to see what products people use to get their flawless make-up looks, so here it goes...</span><br />

I'm not sure about you girls, but that seems like a hell of a lot of make-up in one bag.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDIi8gbC6LubS5cTyUbVKxILAI55cNJaHIhc_SuJ0_20vb1bCg6Ioy-XfL8NBfioI_UB4FhG-9B5DpYGbPGguQrG5HTweVh3BL2AP8eRZpum57hg06WVnje7-TwJcVJHPzmdyMtyN-Mwg/s1600/192670_10150109331180825_544290824_6608336_7605709_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDIi8gbC6LubS5cTyUbVKxILAI55cNJaHIhc_SuJ0_20vb1bCg6Ioy-XfL8NBfioI_UB4FhG-9B5DpYGbPGguQrG5HTweVh3BL2AP8eRZpum57hg06WVnje7-TwJcVJHPzmdyMtyN-Mwg/s320/192670_10150109331180825_544290824_6608336_7605709_o.jpg" width="241" /></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">My make-up is very much a mix of high and low end products, particularly with my base make-up. I would never apply foundation or concealer with my fingers, even though a lot of my friends do - I just don't think it gives me as good a coverage as a brush. I use a Bobbi Brown eyeshadow and foundation brush as my boyfriend bought me a huge set last year for my birthday. For bronzer and concealer I use the double ended brushes which were ridiculously good value for money at $9 for a set of five brushes in Florida. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">I swear by MAC studio sculpt foundation in shade NW30 as it gives the best coverage I have ever found in a foundation. It costs £23 which is a little steep, but it lasts me for six months and I use it liberally! I wear the matching shade concealer from MAC which comes in a small pot, but don't be deceived by size - it still lasts for at least five months.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"> On top of my foundation I have recently taken to wearing L'oreal's true match powder in W3, which helps my make-up stay on for hours. I am also a disciple of Clinique's up-lighting liquid illuminator in blush, a great product that I use on my cheekbones and on the apples of my cheeks before blending in and brushing bronzer over. I generally only use this product on nights out as it is a little sparkly for daytime, but gives my skin a nice glow in the evening. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">Finally I use a cheap natural collection bronzer which I am not crazy about, but which does the job, as I have never found a more expensive bronzer that has wowed me. I have also taken to wearing a sweep of blush mixed in with my bronzer to give me a more natural complexion, but the brand name has completely rubbed off, and I can't remember where I bought it from!</span><br />

I line my lips with a nude natural collection pencil, then fill in with a variety of natural collection lipsticks. While they are a great price and have a variety of nice colours, they are actually terrible value for money as they break within the first week most of the time.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">For Christmas I got a lovely MAC lip gloss set from the 'A Tartan Tale' collection, and I use the Mimmy and Pretty, Quick! shades most days. Also I have abandoned my trusty chapstick for this amazing Nivea lip balm which soothes and smooths my chapped lips overnight!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVKxdyrnOJEXDiHriRn8dCPsCRKxlPr0BYLZk7VRLDJcZeWVgcd_1_ubx4q3NcK9qyvDc8FMe6sAzFy1arQc6CgxsgL3x9a-JokxW0ChaeDB6lXI3R-IMd_LwcFyyYYXrFuBOaGbM4Vv4/s1600/192530_10150109332910825_544290824_6608379_5976503_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><img border="0" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVKxdyrnOJEXDiHriRn8dCPsCRKxlPr0BYLZk7VRLDJcZeWVgcd_1_ubx4q3NcK9qyvDc8FMe6sAzFy1arQc6CgxsgL3x9a-JokxW0ChaeDB6lXI3R-IMd_LwcFyyYYXrFuBOaGbM4Vv4/s320/192530_10150109332910825_544290824_6608379_5976503_o.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">I have worn liquid eyeliner every day without fail since I was 13 years old, and could probably draw a neat line and flick in my sleep. At the moment I am using a cheap collection 2000 liner, which lasts all day and has a nice nib. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">I use Maybelline 'Falsies Volume' mascara which is good but dries out a little quick. I swear by MAC and Urban Decay eyeshadows, and have taken to putting a slick of Urban Decay primer underneath - it really works!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"> I also have used Benefit 'Eye Bright' every day for years to line inside my eyes - it really makes my eyes look wide awake. I keep Benefit 'Bad Gal' in my bag if I occasionally feel like vamping up my face. The only other liner I use is the gold pencil from 17 underneath my bottom lashes on lights out, as it gives a really nice and discreet shimmer to my eyes. Finally I fill in my eyebrows with a brilliant Rimmel pencil that cost only £2.99 but matches my brow colour perfectly - I couldn't live without it now! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">Make-up accessory wise I keep my brilliant and prized tweezers in my bag for plucking emergencies, and have about a million eyelure eyelash glues all over my room as it is the only glue I trust for my hefty night-time fake eyelashes. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">After assessing my make-up I've realised I'm definately in a little bit of a rut, as my main style hasn't changed in six years - I've worn practically the same make up since I was 13/14! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">Have you ladies had a good look in your make-up bags recently, and have you got any tips and tricks you'd care to share? </span><br />

To start, I will write a to-do list each month.</span></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"> Some of my goals are creativity - based, some are things I need to get around to but never seem to find the time, and some are just to break me out of usual cycle and to have new experiences, like when I visited the Southampton Maritime Museum and Marwell Zoo earlier this year. I happen to be the worlds worst organized person, so I am putting it up here for you all to see, and if nothing else, I will be guilt-tripped into crossing off my list!</span></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br />

She entered us for the game show a few weeks ago, and we were both interviewed over the phone and given a short quiz (I got 8/10, and successfully answered questions on history and football - score!) and we were both invited to a second interview in London in March. I have tried not to get too over-excited, however my imagination did wander in boring parts of the lecture about a what I'd buy with my 'winnings'...Yves Saint Laurent rings and Louboutin's spring to mind!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">I am definitely getting ahead of myself here, but I will of course let you know how the interview goes in a few weeks.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><br />

This week we decided to break out of our rut and have gone out a few times in two weeks, starting last Saturday to 90 degrees and Kaos in Southampton, with the gorgeous 4 Wilton ladies. The following Tuesday we went to pre drinks and 90's for our friend Emily's 21st, although being the drunk weakling that I am, I neglected to make it to the final destination of Audio!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">I bought a new dress from </span><a href="http://www.boohoo.com/" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Boohoo</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"> for the occasion. I have never ordered from there before, and have only online shopped for clothes a handful of times, but with a few big nights out planned and West Quay devoid of options I decided to splurge and order two dresses. The first dress I bought is a black and white striped number, which has a slashed neckline and nipped in waist, with a lovely skater style skirt. This is my usual style, as I don't have the figure or confidence for body-con unfortunately! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><br />

I went with my flatmate Anna, our flatmate next year Joanna, and Vicky. It was a really good night, even though my smuggled vodka got confiscated by a bouncer, which meant we had to fork out £10.50 for a bottle of absolutely vile rose wine!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">I wore my other boohoo dress, although unfortunately I don't have any full length pictures of me wearing it. It is a beautiful bright green colour, with a high neckline covered in chiffon flowers. I wasn't crazy about the style, but I loved the colour so much I bought it anyway, and it was only £20. I wore it with nude courts, gold jewellery and my amazing five dollar earrings I picked up in New York in December. </span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

As a die-hard Amazon girl, I had always been sceptical of ebay, despite many friends scoring bargain priced benefit make-up on the website. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">However, all that changed early last week when I was idly browsing (ok, putting off doing work and I'd run out of box sets to watch) when I spotted the cutest, prettiest, tiny little fruit stickers for nails. I am a sucker for anything glittery, cute, bright and a little bit naff, so I promptly snapped up 120 minuscule stickers for the princely sum of £1.24 all the way from Hong Kong. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">They dropped onto my doorstep today, and after I had completed boring but necessary tasks such as an Asda food shop, I scurried up to my room to try out my new playthings!</span><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">The latest Disney animation to hit the box office is loosely based on the classic fairy tale ‘<i>Rapunzel</i>’, by the Brothers Grimm. As a 20-year old who has grown up on a diet of Disney, I had high expectations for the film that I just weren’t sure would be met; but I was enraptured within moments.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;">Taking its cue from previous Disney classics such as ‘<i>Sleeping Beauty</i>’ and ‘<i>Cinderella</i>’ the plot follows a beautiful young protagonist who is prevented from living a full and normal life by an evil villain, but who is eventually saved by a dashing young man. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;">Disney’s newest Princess is depicted as a teenage girl who is both scared and exhilarated at disobeying the villain Gothal, who is masquerading as Rapunzel’s mother in order to benefit from the magical qualities Rapunzel’s long golden locks possess. Gothal pretends the outside world is cruel and evil, and forbids her expressly to leave the tower. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;">Rapunzel is played by Mandy Moore to great effect, as an extremely personable and witty Princess. She is shown at times to be opinionated and strong – willed, a departure from the classic damsel in distress role that Disney princesses of old were often confined to. The movie also benefits from two very funny animal sidekicks, a horse named Maximus and a chameleon called Pascal. The male saviour and narrator Flynn Rider is a flawed thief, but he changes over the course of the film as the romantic relationship develops. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;">The film is quintessentially Disney in look and style, yet uses modern CGI effects to make the 3D movie as realistic as possible. It is enriched with colours, shapes and intricate details, such as the inside of her painted tower, with certain scenes as beautiful as a painting. The film also follows Disney tradition by incorporating original songs throughout, resulting in some irresistibly catchy musical numbers, particularly the song “I’ve got a Dream” which has the potential to be a classic like ‘The Little Mermaids’ ‘Kiss the Girl’ original song. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47; font-family: inherit;">Whilst overall I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, I do not think that the villain Gothal lived up to the archetypical Disney antagonist, such as Ursula or Maleficent, as I was often confused as to whether she actually loved Rapunzel, or if she was solely using her for her magical hair. This conflict in character made it hard to see her in an overtly sinister light; the movie would have been more enjoyable if she was a truly evil and terrifying character. <o:p></o:p></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This Disney film is enjoyable at<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> all ages, and even as an adult viewer, I found myself tearing up at the sad moments, and wanting to join in with the rousing chorus’s. It uses the best in technological advances, yet follows the format of great Disney films that have come before. It is an imaginative and original take on an </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">old tale, which has all the makings of a new Disney classic.</span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">After browsing for several hours I have discovered that they have different ranges, but my favourites are the dainty necklaces in the 'Make a wish' and 'Karma' styles. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">The surprisingly inexpensive (although I still can't afford one) necklaces are absolutely gorgeous, and are gold dipped also, which means you can wear them always without worrying about an unattractive rust coloured neck! I first saw their products, albeit unknowingly in 2004 when Marissa / Mischa Barton wore a gold wishbone necklace in several episodes of the O.C, that her real - life boyfriend had given her. I then found them when browsing the Asos site, but found a bigger collection at </span><a href="http://nettiefrolic.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">NettieFrolic.com</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"> where I fell in love again and again and again! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">I thought I'd share with you my favourites, as they make a perfect gift for any female relative or friends birthdays, and Mothers day is next month. And if your buying, my birthday is just around the corner...</span><br />

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">I separated my hair into two pig tails, and put copious amounts of dye in from just below my shoulders. The regret started to kick in precisely 30 seconds after the dye was put in, as I feared I would be left bald, or worse - with a bob! But after 40minutes and a quick wash and blow dry I was actually impressed! My hair had definitely got lighter, and although it wasn't the precise <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">ombré colour I'd wanted, it was a light coppery brown. I am going to buy some more dye next week to make it slightly lighter so the contrast is more visible and I can get the perfect colour, but for now, here is my new Dip Dye do! </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_97A1YEhmTXGKTIXnk9M7uCLV7nEFsz7P2AsIuQwUkxaVWg56gB5gWOfAvt6excXC2yjB3jNZ6xNQWpl3_tlT07VX80BZu7NNhAe-JDpYsYuG1aOSsguQXZVmrI6RNdW6ECRibhT-3DE/s1600/171799_10150098045145825_544290824_6500741_6999573_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_97A1YEhmTXGKTIXnk9M7uCLV7nEFsz7P2AsIuQwUkxaVWg56gB5gWOfAvt6excXC2yjB3jNZ6xNQWpl3_tlT07VX80BZu7NNhAe-JDpYsYuG1aOSsguQXZVmrI6RNdW6ECRibhT-3DE/s320/171799_10150098045145825_544290824_6500741_6999573_o.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

I thought I'd share with you my top picks. Over the coming weeks I will be posting pictures of my daily outfits, and am hoing by blogging I can remember what I liked/ disliked about an outfit, and hopefully to encourage myself to try and wear my clothes in different ways, rather than buying new clothes I can't afford this time. If you have any tips, let me know!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj07tsXyR1Eexc_BJWmtX3X-Q3JKkFZivBpWsqJ5tcdx0LwvinyDLtKgG5LfvxoTrj8BC6Ic_9csVE7E-YUDiyHCfJm1hDEJfrkFng3IrLmob1WIHuGfymmySB3znmhEm6puFiBr7zvTyo/s1600/180340_10150095121230825_544290824_6457177_6565069_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj07tsXyR1Eexc_BJWmtX3X-Q3JKkFZivBpWsqJ5tcdx0LwvinyDLtKgG5LfvxoTrj8BC6Ic_9csVE7E-YUDiyHCfJm1hDEJfrkFng3IrLmob1WIHuGfymmySB3znmhEm6puFiBr7zvTyo/s320/180340_10150095121230825_544290824_6457177_6565069_n.jpg" width="240" /></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><br />

The song is infectious, but its the video I love; not only is it crazy, colourful and very very rude, but it has also taken its cue from several of the key Spring/Summer 2011 trends that were seen on the catwalk in September.</span><br />

</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">Rihanna is wearing acid yellow eye-shadow, as seen at Derek Lam's show. Whilst I don't think I would ever have the balls to pull off such a daring shade, I will be looking to update my make up with some bright eye-shadow, although my colouring is more suited to green and purple tones. However if you are a bit braver than me, I've found a similar shade in the 'GOSH' range in Superdrug, for the bargain price of £4.24 which comes with three other colours... my favourite is the green, although blondes could carry off the aqua if they took care not to look too eighties! You can buy this palette <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/eye-shadow/gosh-quattro-eye-shadow-q33-toucan/invt/288926/">here</a>.</span><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">Rihanna also borrows one of her best friend Katy Perry's signature looks, by slithering into a latex leotard. This upcoming season is all about crazy clashing brights, and I particularly love her orange, yellow and green platforms, especially as tangeringe is a colour that is going to be everywhere by May.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">My other favourite scene from the music video is where she can be seen in the ah-may-zinggg zebra print room, which I am coveting! With the huge red perm, crazy furs draped over her and Perez Hilton being whipped in the background, it has to be one of the most entertaining videos released in a long time. Also, if anyone spots a bandeau similar to Rihanna's 'censored' one, then please let me know as I have a friend who would kill to have it!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><br />

</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">When I first watched the video I thought it was so original, but since seeing it compared to the photographer David LaChapelle's work I can see that he has definitely been ripped off, which is shocking as he has come forward to say that he has had nothing to do with it. Why don't you have a look at the <a href="http://perezhilton.com/2011-02-04-rihanna-david-lachapelle-comparison-photos-music-video-photography">comparisons</a>?</span><br />

I went with my flatmate and best friend Anna, and several other girls, who I have got closer with in the months since we have been back.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"> We were only there for four days, but a complete lack of sleep meant I was able to take in nearly all the sights and activities that I wanted to. We arrived in Newark, New Jersey and took a short coach to the city and to our accommodation, a hostel/prison in the Chelsea district. Whilst the accommodation was revolting (think sparse metal beds with thin mattresses, a single pillow shared toilets with smelly strangers and lockers for a wardrobe) I tried not to dwell as I was so excited to be there. After unpacking we went out in small groups with a lecturer, and we ended up in Times Square with absolutely no clue where to start.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"> We ended up in an incredibly cool and packed diner called Shake Shack where we ordered hot dogs, milkshakes and burgers. We then wandered the streets, and bumped into a few very strange New York natives; I was offered drugs by a homeless man within an hour of being there! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilk6fLP5Msmb01_r50h5ZrHbM5Eb8L5pBfN95NS75wG60TLrZIaMoQZDN0uI1sKveylF5DLdeW96UQpxq0-L1Mp5n6a5OBqCo91RV4DTSmCt52bYfBxcdjwEYxxlcsRbZK2CoW0TxRCP4/s1600/155593_475467955824_544290824_5968805_2161614_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilk6fLP5Msmb01_r50h5ZrHbM5Eb8L5pBfN95NS75wG60TLrZIaMoQZDN0uI1sKveylF5DLdeW96UQpxq0-L1Mp5n6a5OBqCo91RV4DTSmCt52bYfBxcdjwEYxxlcsRbZK2CoW0TxRCP4/s320/155593_475467955824_544290824_5968805_2161614_n.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">Times Square, first night</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">The first full day of our trip saw us rise early (Thanks jet-lag) and we went to the 9/11 site as a group. The site itself was crawling with construction workers and looked like a vast wasteland, although there was a very moving plaque dedicated to the servicemen who had lost their lives in the tragedy. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">After paying our respects, we moved onto the designer outlet emporium 'Century 21' where I was hoping to snap up a few bargains!

The doorman was kind enough to allow us inside, and we managed to get lots of pictures of the beautiful interior, and we even used the toilet where I stole a napkin with the Palace's crest on it! The Doorman also told us to come back and have a drink in the GILT restaurant which is the where Blair and Serena meet for drinks shortly after Serena returns in season one, and where Dan finds Serena's phone after she drunkenly drops it after rejecting Chuck (how could she?!) We did consider returning, but as the drinking age is 21, we were too scared of the humiliation of being turned away!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">After leaving the Palace and clambering on the tour bus, we were taken all around the city and saw Chuck's burlesque club, 'Victrola' which is actually a rather dingy building called 'The Box'. We also saw the Archibald's house, which has the same chandelier in the window that can be seen in the programme, Penn Bagdley's real life apartment and Blair's apartment building, among other places.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><br />

</tbody></table><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">The food in New York was amazing, although bring your appetite, as they are biiiiiig portions. On our third night Anna and I met up with Harriet, who writes the great blog <a href="http://sugarlipsjournal.blogspot.com/">http://sugarlipsjournal.blogspot.com/</a> and Emily from our course. We had heard that a nearby restaurant, Lasagne, would serve you without ID, so we popped in for a bite and a cocktail or two! We started off with a round of Cosmopolitan's from our cute, charming and very gay waiter, and then ordered our delicious meals - I had spinach and artichoke fettuccine... heaven! Followed by more cocktails, by this point we were all really quite pissed. As Mariah Carey warbled on the stereo, we looked around and realised that we were literally surrounded by male couples and all our lovely waiters looked to preened and pampered to be straight! Our gaydar's seriously needed some work, as we were CLEARLY in a gay hang out spot! It is now the infamous 'Gay Lasagne Night' something Emily found vital to drunk text our lecturer to tell him, which led to some embarrassment the next day!</span><br />

It includes the NYC poster of my name that I was drawn in Times Square, the cheesy photo booth pictures of me and Anna from the huge Forever 21 store, a map of the city, a Dylan's Candy bar wrapper, the receipt from Bubba Gump, The Gossip Girl tour booklet, the Lasagne restaurant menu, my stolen napkin from the Palace, and millions of postcards!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMncr1oxwbWNIEF3XwbPmrsCHSWxMWvWerc-c2LooH5NiljOxEG9Upuqdch__q4xjUsbftrwhFeVF0fp74sZDhYL9CkTjpZqsCu0dDd2NacIZ2tU94_PZeYGqGYPVNxTdbIAJ2Td3dGck/s1600/47596_475868760824_544290824_5974908_5457477_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMncr1oxwbWNIEF3XwbPmrsCHSWxMWvWerc-c2LooH5NiljOxEG9Upuqdch__q4xjUsbftrwhFeVF0fp74sZDhYL9CkTjpZqsCu0dDd2NacIZ2tU94_PZeYGqGYPVNxTdbIAJ2Td3dGck/s320/47596_475868760824_544290824_5974908_5457477_n.jpg" width="240" /></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><br />

Whilst the rest of my course were travelling together on a coach, I had to go solo to the museum a few days before as I had friend's visiting on that day. </span></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">I will admit I was dreading the trip a little, as I have never really explored Japanese fashion (shameful, I know) and have found most museums boring on school trips over the years, however I was pleasantly surprised.</span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">The museum itself was a huge and rather ugly building, however the exhibition, which was set over two floors, was very calm and serene, a direct contrast to the Moorgate area of London outside.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">There was a clear trail which led you around the pieces on the lower floor was all clean lines, with white gauze material serving as a backdrop to each of the displayed pieces. The mannequins wore designs by esteemed designers such as Issey Miyake and Rei Kanakuboo, and it was really interesting to see how they manipulated fabrics to create such unusual clothes. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPZLi6V7vIIxdCWMX6XocRWKv4gkWrerFMjfvVf46V6YynOi2bUUyGPZJPvmBGZOhR39ILONW9N7GHyr5KL3ur7iTYRNdik6s5ohwWLlwTjU0Ob6__FCy8dnLnv5uZrWHEGtr2awNoKTo/s1600/180939_10150094207705825_544290824_6445533_6646756_s.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPZLi6V7vIIxdCWMX6XocRWKv4gkWrerFMjfvVf46V6YynOi2bUUyGPZJPvmBGZOhR39ILONW9N7GHyr5KL3ur7iTYRNdik6s5ohwWLlwTjU0Ob6__FCy8dnLnv5uZrWHEGtr2awNoKTo/s1600/180939_10150094207705825_544290824_6445533_6646756_s.jpg" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLQJ5l7BOtzOrZ83H8MfSJ1tY-aHlxntRAGktO832XT9CXo3gJIc6QKOP7_YfOh25qC4ixz_fH4jO548-j-xKeXNQk1gIx-nFWuIjr-l-fklN-_Z-SXfDdIfDSeUnvewakWY-xsTl-s1Q/s1600/167674_10150094206740825_544290824_6445528_7910830_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLQJ5l7BOtzOrZ83H8MfSJ1tY-aHlxntRAGktO832XT9CXo3gJIc6QKOP7_YfOh25qC4ixz_fH4jO548-j-xKeXNQk1gIx-nFWuIjr-l-fklN-_Z-SXfDdIfDSeUnvewakWY-xsTl-s1Q/s320/167674_10150094206740825_544290824_6445528_7910830_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"> I also particularly enjoyed the room named 'Cool Japan' which focused on the Harujaku area of Japan that was infested by cool young designers who set up small kitsch shops when the economic bubble burst in the 1980's. Behind each of the displayed clothes was a collection of cute and fun Japanese sweets and magazines, and the mirrored walls were painted with owls, trees and bumblebees.</span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"> I left just over an hour to visit the museum, and unfortunately it wasn't long enough, as they had rooms showing films, documentary's, and runway shows that I could only watch for a few minutes each. The exhibition finished this week, but I'm definitely now more open to aspects of the fashion world I previously had little or no interest in!</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">However, my (rather late) new year's resolution is to keep up my writing, as I think it will help me in my university work if I have a creative outlet to write, and will encourage me to document what are the most important and interesting years of my life so far. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">With a new attitude comes a new blog, so I picked a beautiful template of a chandelier picture to hopefully add a bit of class to my ramblings, and my ensuing posts will be less crazy colours and fonts, and will hopefully let my writing take centre stage.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">Fingers crossed I can keep it up!</span><br />

So just in time for the new term I have decided to pick up my pen (well open my laptop) and make a renewed effort to post on here at least three times a week. </span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">I haven't even had a busy summer - I went to Spain waaaay back in June for a Sun and Sangria holiday with my best friends, and also managed to survive Reading festival (for those followers who know me, mud rain and slumming it are not things you would associate with me) and actually had a brilliant time! Ok, so my £16 bargain pop up tent wasnt waterproof, and also wasn't big enough to fit it me AND my 6''5 strapping lad of a boyfriend, and yeah my blackberry broke within the first few hours, and I did come back with a respiratory virus which I am STILL recovering from, but honestly it was one of the best weekends of my life. I haven't got round to printing of my disposible cameras yet, so you'll have to settle for me telling you some of my highlights on here!</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">1 - Blink 182 closing the weekend. Without a doubt the best of the few bands I saw, they sung beautifully and Travis Barker played the drums upside down on a rotating platform, which was incredibly cool. Watching them with 100,000 other people singing along, the only thing that would have made it better would have been seeing it with my boyfriend, who got lost in the crowd :(</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">2 - Festival headbands and Festival songs. Despite getting teased for bringing a huge 'beauty bag' containing make up, nail varnish, hygiene stuff and accessories, by the second day i was giving out headbands and mositurising the boys, proving festivals don't neccesarily mean getting filthy! I also had the best time drinking from ridiculous o clock in the morning in the girl circle and changing lyrics to well known songs about people we know/what we were doing. </span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">3 - rating and hating other girls festival attire. The standard uniform for girls was a cute dress or denim shorts with wellies and long socks, plus several layers of cardis and coats, and had me extremely jealous of girls that have the pins for daisy dukes! However the worst outfit? A brave/stupid girl in denim shorts and a slutty white cutout bodysuit...in the rain.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">While I'm not sure if I could physically and mentally handle another year at Reading, I am proud of myself for sticking it out and only sneaking home once for a shower (in my defence I only live half hour away!) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Anyway, I'll put the pics up soon and be back tommorrow for another post. Also, hello to my new followers, sorry I haven't given you anything to read for so long!</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This photoshoot was by Annie Leibovitz in the March edition of Vogue. Partly inspired by the release Tim Burtons movie, which was of course based on Lewis Carrolls masterpiece. I absolutely love everything about this shoot, from the dresses to the use of colours and props (nice flamingos) to the range of couture designers that Leibovitz managed to persuade to pose together, something I have never seen before. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Even though its a couple months old, I'd thought I'd share it with you incase you haven't seen it, as its absolutely gorgeous!</div>Scarletthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03041778938147537813noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838722174557687775.post-74986562295673035252010-05-25T23:47:00.000+01:002010-05-25T23:47:02.828+01:00Final Eclipse Movie Trailer - Official #2 (HD)<p><object style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/CScK6D3KROM/hqdefault.jpg)" height="295" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CScK6D3KROM&hl=en_GB&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CScK6D3KROM&hl=en_GB&fs=1" width="480" height="295" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></p><p>This is the advert for the new Eclipse film in the Twilight saga.

This season was not my favourite, as it focused to much on Little J and Serena (yawwwwwwwn) while I could quite happily just watch The Blair and Chuck show. Whilst my love for a certain Ms Waldorf is well known, I also felt like this season her outfit choices weren't as good as the garments she rocked in season 1 & 2 and also noticed a distinct lack of headband. However, I dutifully tuned into the finale and was ecstatic to see them back to their best, and literally was on the edge of my seat (well, bed) wondering what was going to happen next. The twists with Chuck deflowering little J, and his near proposal, and his getting shot had me shouting at my poor laptop and crying! Just imagining the perfection of a Blair-Chuck wedding has me in a tizzy, and I couldn't believe that the producers would be so cruel as to do this to us fans, as they are the most perfect tv couple ever! &hearts:</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">I am 99% sure Chuck is going to live, and my bet is on him being in a coma, and Blair rushing to his side.. at least I hope!</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">As for the rest of episode...</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">Serena needs some new facial expressions and a new voice instead of that nasal whingy sound that annoys me beyond belief. And seriously, get over Dan Humphrey, what is this; round 2951 of your relationship??!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">Vanessa: stay in Haiti.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">Rufus - shave of that god awful tache.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">Little J, please fuck off for good!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">Apart from these minor drawbacks, the finale was amazing and has got everyone in a tizzy, and I cannot wait for the new series!</span><br />

I also tried to use light, pastel colours and nude tones, and to have a tea party theme, to make the clothes look cute rather than smutty.</span> </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Scarletthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03041778938147537813noreply@blogger.com0
