Cheeky Haul

So today, this happened! A shopping trip which lead to a big small on my face but a dent in my mum's bank account. It's all worth it to see me happy, I guess( well that's what I keep telling myself). 

I ended up just mainly buying from Primark, new look and Dorothy Perkins! 

So from Dorothy Perkins (www.dorothyperkins.co.uk), I got this cute little bow clutch. This bag is a goldish colour with a big glitter bow on the top, it's perfect for my prom! It's a good size, has a removable chain handle and it goes with the theme off my prom as well- bow ties and diamonds. This was in the sale as well, from £20 to £10. It was a good buy, I can see myself using this in the future for other event while I am just a lover off cute bows

Meanwhile from new look (www.newlook.co.uk), there was a big sale going on but I wasn't really liking anything apart from these jeans. The jeans were in the sale as well, costing only £11 from £22.99. The  jeans are super comfy, I'm wearing them now. The waist is a high one so there will be no builders' bums when you bend over. The colour is dark but has the acid wash look to it.

While, the biggest shop for me was Primark. My gulity pleasure where if there is a sale they are super good but yet there products are still good, sometimes even better then other high street shops but yet a very reasonable price.

This skater skirt was only £8 while it comes with a little black belt. I'm most likely to change the belt and use maybe a little brown one. The skirts always look skirt but when I tried it on, it was a gold length! I'm not one of them girls who like half their bums out on show (people off England will understand what I mean). The texture off the skirt isn't just flat, it's like a waffer one. It's what to me, makes it better then the other high street shops skater skirts.

While this top is a plain white top with little spikes on the sleeves. The cut for the arms are lower down like a bigger cut. Making it good for summer as it's must cooler and was in the sale for only £3. This was just a must buy for me, making a simple white vest top a little edge.
The nice little simple vest top with butterflies. A nice little vest top which is perfect for summer, it's nice and light. It's only £4 and there was a little black and white striped one but there wasn't one in my size (sad times)
A collar vest top! Yes, I do love tops with collars. This top is very  very see through! It's one that will need something underneath or you will be showing a bit too much. This was also in the sale, only £3 and it was just a must have for my collection.

A little close up on the collar.
Shoe time! I didn't really like any off the shoes really but I find these little cute flip-flops. There was a range of colours: nude(like mine), white, black and I think there was a few more. These are so cute and I do love bows and thought it will be good for this summer. Hopefully it will stay hot and sunny. 
Adorable flip-flops for £2.50 
Then finally, I stocked up on essentials that most girls will have and for some reason they always go missing or ended up being ripped. How does socks always end up go missing in the washing machine? The socks were only like £2 and the tights were £3 for 3 pairs which come in a range of different thickness.

Prom Hair and Prom Dress Review


Firstly, Ahhhhhh! I am leaving school in a matter of days and reality hasn't hit me yet that I am leaving school for good and won't be sitting in lessons with the people who I have spent the last five years with yet I still hate school and so excited to finally be leaving. High School has been the hardest five years off my life so any off you still in school, my thoughts are going to be with you! 

A few days, my prom dress that I ordered from www.dress.vponsale.co.uk came and I am in love with my dress so much, I feel like wearing it around the house everyday and all the time. My dress came packaged well, wrapped in a paper packaging with two other plastic packaging therefore it didn't get damaged on the way here so happy about that. The quality off the dress is very good and looked exactly like the website and the colour is what I want. The fitting is perfect as it was free to get the dress to my size like custom sizing and if you like, you can pick a colour from the range of choices they have on offer. Go and have a look on their website, there is like a discount going, free delivery and free custom sizing! What else is better than they eh? 

Full Length off my dress, sorry about rubbish camera quality too

So this is coming to the most important part to be now! what to do with my hair? As you can see my hair is long and I am planning to have my hair down as I always have my hair down and feel more comfortable with it down. Just because it's prom, doesn't mean to have to go out on a mad one and change everything about you! So here is some off my prom hair ideas but not sure which one to have done. Hopefully these will give you some eyes on what to do as well. 






So here on my hair prom ideas but if you got any, let me know! Pinterest and Tumblr is the website to look for ideas, they are just filled with loads off different hair styles: Up, Down, Half and Half, Straight, Curly. Go and have a look and I hope you all have a good prom!

Hows that year new resolution going?


It's the fifth month into 2013 and I bet the most of you have already forgot that new year's resolution that you set, which seemed to be years ago, on the 1st of January. Them new year's resolution off loosing weight, saving money up, spending less time at work and more with friends and family or to have a better work effort?

So how is your new years resolution going or have you just forgot about them already? Did you you just do it for a month and completely went back to your normal routine? Maybe you should think off a mid year resolution. Think off a new resolution for the summer or start back to your old one, you can do it and it's a challenge but when it's done you will feel so good on the last day off December when everyone having a cheeky little drink and cheering into the new year.

Mine was to read more and it's going pretty well, being a little slow when reading and having the stress of leaving school and 12 exams left to do and the biggest pile of last minute coursework, reading is calming me down loads and not really panicking like I thought I would be. I have brought my books from www.worldofbooks.com They are second hand books but most off my mine literally come good as new and you get 10% of your first order. If you ever need some books, buy it off there.


So give your self a mid year resolution, a summer resolution or give your old one another try and see how you go.

Wavy Hair?

Want to know how to get my wavy hair? it's really simple and a little different from how everyone else does their wavy hair. I always seem to have my hair wavy/curly more then just having it plain odd straight this way, if my hair gets messy from the windy it still looks alright *high five*

please do mind the whole no make-up look


This is my fringe, sweeped to the side a little bit

My full length/front view of my hair


How I do my hair?
1. I normally spray my hair with heat protection and then split my hair into two sections, the top and bottom.
2. I will use a hair curler and curly my hair in inch sections, completely random and then leave them. EVEN WHEN THEY LOOK LIKE A CHINA DOLL TIGHT CURLS, LEAVE THEM!- you will sort them out later. 
3. Do all that for the bottom sections, doing some curls away and towards your face in a random order.
4. Put the top sections down and split that in hair from left and right. 
5. The side without your fringe, i normally curly the same as the bottom but the front bits away from the face for use.
6. The side with the fringe, curl the same as the other side and curl your fringe away from your face. However split it in half, curl the top half away from your face and curl the bottom half away from your face.
7. The fun part!! now brush through your hair with your fingers to loosen all the curls! the curls will parten and create wavy hair.
8. Do a few head flips and shakes to give it the messy hair look and loosen all your hair

I hope this works, tag me in any photos so i can see if it's worked out for you!

Where have I been?


Where has Sheen been?

So on Sunday it was actually sunny! it was actually quite warm in Britain! So guess where I have been, can you tell from the photo below?




So yeah! I spent the first taster off summer in Britain at the beach, with the family we decided to go Rhyl. It's not to far from where I live and it's a tradition off going there at least once a year. We had a great little day out, beautiful weather like this, the clear blue sky. Even though it was windy, it wasn't too bad and help maintained my wavy hair so I'm not complaining too much. Everyone needs to visit here at least once, bring a little picnic or pop in maccies/ fish and chip shops across the road from the beach and eat them on the wall looking over the beach. It has really got me in the summer mood and recommended going there!

What to do there?
Many of you probably want to know what to do there before actually going and be like ermm.. this is naff. 
Shopping- There a range of shops there, high street shops and there little market/ little indoor shopping center
Arcade- Everyone loves the arcade which is literally across the road from beach, best way of getting rid off them pennies at the bottom off your bag
Pool- It's not a massive pool, its a little outdoor pool which isn't very deep. It's really for younger children.
Beach- Get your sand castle making kits ready! The beach is good at Rhyl! Get your sandcastle made, dig a massive hole or even just sunbathe all day.

PROM TIME!

It's prom time!

For some of us, it's that time off year where you are revising for exams and sorting the last few days of school you actually have left. For me I have about 20 school days left, not like I am counting or anything tehe.

Prom must the only thing that is actually getting me through school, it's keeping me going through the last years and long nights of revision! Getting me excited for something that is coming and powering me through all the exams that will be coming to something that will hopefully be a good night and a little reward for all the work and effort I've put into everything!

Dress. To girls, I know this has got to be the most important thing ever for us at this point. People spend hours finding the right dress for them. I thought I will give you a few little tips to help finding the rest dress for you that tiny bit less stressful and more exciting.

Busty Girls. Girls who seem to have a bigger bust may want their boobs hanging out and showing however some may want to make it more classic and hidden a tiny bit more without squishing them flat down. You may want a dress that has less detailing around that area and even with straps.

Flatter Girls. You are more obviously want this area to look more full, well i do anyways i have this problem. Well I think a dress that has more detailing in this area will help give the illusions off a more fuller. Also may be an a-line dress will be able to complete this or a strapped dress.

Where to buy? Knowing what the right dress for you is just one off the problems, another is finding a good place where they sell the dresses that you are looking for. Some good websites that sell some dress that I found to be good are: 
www.newlook.com- I was personally surprised at how good there prom dress actually were which are reasonably priced. The dresses are short and long range but the colours are limited.
 a example of a dress from their website, really good style! the pricing is really good, this is about £50. 

www.coast-stores.com - The dresses from here are really good quality and the colours are light and more pastel. The colours are good but only what is on offer, the pricing is much higher but the styles are a wider range



a dress from coast-stores.com, this is a dress I actually put this one on, it's really good quality and very flowy.

www.dress.vponsale.com- This is personally my new favourite shop and where I have got my dress from! The dresses are a wider range, different styles, able to change the colour to suit you and custom sizing for free. The dress are a range from short dresses, longer dresses, puffy dresses, simple styled, more detailed dresses. The negative is that it's only an online shop so unable to see what it looks like on you but if you know what type of dress you want, it's fine!.

My Dress
I thought I should share my dress that I will be wearing, this must be the only dress I really loved and I just fell in love with it the moment I've seen it. It's an dress inspired by what Selena Gomez wore on a red carpet, didn't realised until after I've brought the dress. The dress is from www.dress.vponsale.com. It's been customised to my size and was able to change it if I wanted too but decided to keep it the way it was.

So go on girls! Get your dresses or if you still not your prom yet, get looking and start getting excited! Hope you all find the right dress you love!

Dreams are meant to be caught!

The other night, I really couldn't get any sleep so I ended up drawing some dream catchers


This got me thinking off dream catchers themselves. They are formally know as something that people believed in to caught their dreams and their nightmares. Your Dreams! Whatever you want to do in life or ever wanted to do, you should do it! Your dreams are meant to be caught and live what you want to do, people can say you can't do certain things, don't believe in them and just prove them wrong. I've always been told I can't do certain things cos I'm not capable myself but yet I am just proving them wrong and currently surprising them all. You can do it too, caught your dreams! Do want you want and be happy! Get your own little dream catcher for your room or something, this can be a little reminder for yourself to get the dreams that you want and do want you want. Don't let anyone prove you wrong, you can do it!
