Hey everyone!!!!! Eeeeek well I'm back!!! My last blog update was waaaaay back in November which seems such a long time ago!!! It really is!!!! But since November it's like I haven't had a life!!! First I was revising for my January exams! And then literally as soon as they were over I had to start revising for these Summer exams!!! Me and Haz have practically been living in the library!!!! So yeah! I basically had to put my life on hold! But now!!! I have my life back!!!! Hee hee so now I can document every aspect of it! So here we are!!!
So to celebrate, Haz, Victoria, Anisha and I decided we'd go out for a night out in Halo!!! Victoria and Ani were away somewhere else during the day, so Haz came over to mine to get ready!!!! she arrived at 7 and we were just about ready by 9! But I'd been getting ready since 4 OMG!!!! So long!!!! But here's a full outfit shot of us two together when we were FINALLY ready!!!!
Haz was wearing an LBD from Primark that really had some really awesome cut outs in it!!! It's totally body con as well which shows off her awesome figure!!!! I think it's super sexy but could totally be worked as like a classy outfit as well, ha well with the evil thick black tights!!!! But yeah anyway!!!! And I was wearing an emerald green body con dress from American Apparel! I really love this dress, the colour is so yummy and because it's lycra it's totally body hugging as well!!!!
Shoes wise we were both wearing some high heels from this little stall in the Arndale Market in Manchester!!! They were both total snaps!!!! Haz's were £24.99 and mine were £27.99!!! so awesome! Haz's are all patent leather look and mine are a gorgeous red suede with flowers on!!1 And as you can see Haz teamed hers with black over the knee socks!!! They make her legs look so unbelievably long and yummy!!!!
So here's one which shows the back of my dress! It has a racer style back (I think that's the right word??? Any fahsionistas are welcome to correct me!!!) So yeah I love the back of this! Especially now the stress rash from my back has gone!!! Hee hee you can even see my birth mark! One day I pkan to get loads of glitter pens and get an arty person to do a fabulous design on my back!!! So it's more about the back then the front!!! But that's totally for another day!!!
So here are two close ups of my hair and make!!! My hair took TWO HOURS AND FORTY FIVE MINUTES!!!! Honestly that long!!! I have loads of ways of curling my hair you see, some are really uber quick and I can do all of my hair in like 15minutes! But then this particular way takes forever!!! And I usually end up burning my fingers!!! But I think it's quite effective for getting the princess like curls that I love oh so much!!! I always feel a bit like Taylor Swift when I curl my hair like this!!!!!
Make up wise I'd gone for a red lip, with Mac's Russian Red, Dita Von Teese's signature lip colour of course!!! And if Miss Teese rocks it then it's officially an amazing colour!!! Eye wise I used my Too Faced Smokey Eye palette and did a bottle green and black smokey flick eye!!!! My smokey eye make up is always super neat cause I just can't do and don't suit the smudgey smokey eye!!!! Ha I don't think I'm good enough at casual for it or something!!! Anyway!
Once Haz and I were done Ani and Victoria came to pick us up and once they were dolled up we hopped on the train to Leeds!!!!! Here's a pic of us on the train!!! It was totally weird cause we bumped into Beth Gill at the train station and she came over and hugged us!!! It was deffo weird making ha!!!! Apparently I've also changed so much, but then not at all at the same time!!! Ha I tend to get that alot!!! Maybe it's because of my baby face!!!!
Oh and here's one of Haz and I, I'm not quite sure why I put this one here, but I've done all my formatting now so I can't be bothered moving it up to the others!!! So here's a pic that shows Haz's make up!!! She'd used a pink eye shadow andthen done black eye liner with a nudey pink lip colour to match the eye shadow!!! I think it's nice cause that teamed with the socks just adds a bit of playful-ness to her outfit don't you feel???
Oh now I know why! That's also the last photo!!!! Ha I'm never very good at taking photos on nights out!!! I always forget! So basically! We got to the club, but then Victoria started feeling a bit ill and the flashing lights weren't helping so she had to go home and Anisha went home with her!!! So Haz and I were left by ourselves!!! We bumped into loads of people who used to go to our school and stuff which was totally surrreal making!!! And then Haz got a date with this very dapper gentleman who's taking her to Manchester next week!!!! Good luck Haz honey! I hope it works out well!!! We had such an awesome night dancing before coming home and toppling into bed!!! Ha when we were walking up the garden path though Haz had taken her shoes off ... And then stood on a snail!!!! Ha made me giggle so much! Bleurgh icky snail socks hee hee!!! Still it was awesome!!!
So we woke up the next morning and then Haz's mum came to collect her and I went off to my mothers cause we had plans to go to a party at her friend's house to see the Olympic Torch as it went through Lister Park!!! HOWEVER!!!! I went for an afternoon nap at 12, and instead of mum waking me up before she left at 1:30 so I could come with her! She decided it would be a good idea to let me sleep!!! So I missed it *pouts*!!!! I was mega upset, cause obviously like it's a once in a life time oppertunity to see the torch in person in your own home country!!! Mum could see I was really upset, so she drove me ALL the way to Leeds to see it squee!!!!! I was so super grateful!!!!
So here was the start of the relay on the bit we were seeing and here's the guy getting off the Olypic bus who was gonna carry the torch on this stretch! It was totally exciting cause not only did Mum and I get to see them running with the torch but we also got to see a change over which was mega exciting!!!!
Then a really random parade of buses came round!!!! One of them was a Coca Cola bus just like in the ads squee!!! They were giving out free bottles of coke!!!! But they missed us out!!! Was mega upsetful!!!! Still the bus itself was really uber cool!!!!! They even had a band in the back!!!! Next came the Samsung bus which was just plain weird!!!!!!
Even weirder was the fact that Lloyds TSB had a bus!!! Ha we were like "what on Earth!!!" It was a pretty cool looking bus though!!! I wouldn't mind owning something like that one day!!! Hee hee just without all the Lloyds TSB insignia on me thinks!!!! Maybe in like a pink!!! But with all like flowers and hippy dippy insignia on!!! Like one of the little VW camper vans!!! I would mega love thatt!!!!
So here's the guy stood around with his torch waiting!!! My mum's boss was doing some torch bearing somewhere else and was saying the torch bearers actually have to buy their own torches and it costs like £250!!! Ouchies ne!!! But I totally think it's worth it cause you get to keep the torches after! I mean what a fantastic piece of memorabilia!!! Mega want!!! I might ask mum's boss if I can have a picture with his!!! That would be so cool!!! Hee hee I can pretend I actually carried the torch!!!!
So as you can see in the pic above there's a policeman in the back cause they'd closed off the road!!!! Becauseeee the previous runner was coming carrying the torch!!! So here he is!!! Closely followed by another Olympic bus!!!!
And here's like the proper change over!!!! I couldn't believe it!!! Maybe I'm like overly patriotic and stuff like that! And too much team spirit-ness but I got so really super excited!!! And I also think this is a really good pic of the change over!!!
So once his torch was lit the guy set off running and I was like "OMG I'm actually seeing someone only a couple of metres away run with the Olympic torch!!!!!" Ha I really shouldn't get so excited over such small things but to me that was a really big deal!!!!!!
And there he goes dashing off down the road with the torch!!! Look at how many people came out to see him!!! There were loads of little kids there as well which made me really happy!!! I think it's super important kids are taken to see these things, like cause theseare once in a life time oppertunities, even if at the time they don't seem like a big deal!!!! I know when I have kids I'll be dragging them everywhere even if they moan!!! Hopefully they won't though! Cause there was like people there playing music and stuff so it was really fun!!! Totally a worthwhile experience!!!!
So that was Sunday!!! And now skip forward to Tuesday!!!! I had my last ever proper exam on Monday as well! That's it! School done with!!! Such a weird though!!! Cause I've been at BGGS since I was 4 so it's been such big part of my life! And now! Apart from like prom and results day! That's it! But anyway! Yeah! So on Tuesday after work I had plans to meet Lina and Hannah for a Kaffeeklatch (which is basically a German word for a natter over coffee!!! It's a good word so I'm totally adopting it into my vocabulary!!!) So yeah!!!! For it I worse my brown silk blouse! Denim mini! Brown boots! And also in this pic I have brown tights on! Although I didn't have the whole time cause for a lot of the time it was pretty warm! I'd just got a bit chilly by this point!!!! So yeah! I quite like this outfit!!! Casual gyaru style I feel!!!
And here's my make up!!! I went fairly natural and neutral with really light foundation and blusher, no lippy, and just brown and tan eye make up!!!! I think I've pulled off natural pretty well!!! I didn't do anything with my hair except pullit into a side plait cause I'd been at work all day!!!! But yeah!!! so that's me!!!
Now! Technically the first person to arrive was Hannah!!! But we didn't take any pics straight away!!! And then we bumped into Jie Jie as well cause she was in town getting her dress altered!!! Before Lina finally tottered over!!! Because it was warm we'd decided to sit outside BUT!!! the wind kept making the fountain blow over us so here's a pic of Lina looking absoluely adorable sat with her brolly up to protect her from the evil fountain!!! Ha I never carry a brolly but Lina Bear always has everything!!! Hee hee she looked so peculiar!!!!
Then we moved over cause we decided after coffee we'd have cocktails so we moved round to infront of D Bar so we could get a fishbowl of Sex on the Beach!!! Mega love for yummy sweet cocktails!!! So here's Lina looking rather indignant!!! We were having a discussion on where exactly one draws the line between being straight, gay and bi!!! Ha it turns out it's a very wobbly sometimes disappearing line!!!!!!!! Ha was a super fun debate though!!!!!
And here's Hannah!!! She wasn't too amused at my camera cause she doesn't have any make up on!!! But I think she still looks lovely here!!!! And her hair looks really pretty as well! In fact Hannah is just pretty!!! Make up or no!!! And OMG!!! Everyone look at her tights!!! They are the coolest thing ever!!! And they're from Morrisons!!! Talk bout bargain or what!!!! I mega mega want some!!!!!
And here's another one of me and Hannah sat next to each other hee hee!!! You can see how unammused she is!!!!!!!
So I never explained the point of the whole kaffeeklatch!!! I have a crinoline I use for with my vintage dresses and Hannah has a prom on Thursday (today then!!!), but no crinoline for her dress so she borrowing mine!!!!! She was pulling it out of the bag to look at it and held it up to herself and me and Jie Jie were like!!! That looks totally hot!!! It really does don't you think!!! We;ve toold her she has to wear it like that one day!!! If she does I will make sure to get totally loads of photos!!!! And here's Jie Jie in the first photo of her!!!!
So here are we!!!! How yummy and delicious does her new pink hair look!??!!? She did it for prom on Saturday!!! I just know she's gonna look lush!!!! and look at her make up!!! She really does do beautiful smokey eye make up!!!! I need her to teach me how to do it some time!!!!
Oh by this point Lina had left to go have tea with her girlfriend in Manchester in Hard Rock cafe (jealous!!!!!) So it was just us three!!! Hee hee sisterly love!!!!!
So as I explained it was just us three at this point!!! And we came up with a TOTALLY awesome idea all of a sudden!!! We're gonna hold ... A FLASH TEA PARTY!!! Now I'm sure everyone's heard of a flash mob!!! I've always wanted to be part of a flash mob! But I don't think I'm cool enough!!! But this well this is different!!! We're just gonna hold a massive mad hatter's tea party in fancy dress in the middle of Centenmary Square!!! We think it's the best idea ever and so far we have 8 people signed up!!! I deffo think if you have a fancy dress costume and would enjoy drinking alcohol out of tea pots whilst cam whoring and having an awesome time you should totally come!!! It's an open invitiation the more the merrier!!! But we do request if you come, fancy dress is required and it would be nice if you brought along a bottle of something and some cup cakes or cookies or something! Just to share with everyone!!!! We're hoping it's a success!!!
Anyway! Blogosphere!!! All I can say is it feels good to be back!!! I've missed you all so much *huggles* I hope to be writing again soon!!! After prom will probably be the next one!!! Much love to you all!!!
*kiss kiss*
