Away So Long? Back So Soon?

SO sorry I have being away so long. I have started my second year of University at LJMU and it's just being manic, work this, work that.. CANNOT cope! So I have some free time and have just finished my latest project at university that I would love to share with you all!




This is a small proportion of some images created from the projects on my course that I am taking part in at the moment. 

[Cat Eye Sunglasses - Boohoo]
[Sunglasses - Moschino]
[Fur Coat - Select]
[White Dress - ASOS]
[Stripe Blazer - Lavish Alive]
[Black Dress - ASOS]
[Barely There Heels - New Look]

Most things for this shoot I have collected over the past year which was great for this shoot. I wanted to get a formal event day look which I think I achieved well. I love the pink theme as it can be used for both SS and AW especially as pastel pink it totally a main colour for SS16 and I just can't WAIT!..

Hopefully I will be posting a bit more frequently as soon as I get myself into a better routine! 
Hope you enjoyed my pretty pictures! can't wait to get posting for you all again!

NUDE


[Dress - TKMAXX - (SALE £3)]
[Bag - Primark - (SALE £1)]
[Shoes - PRIMARK - (SALE £3)]


So a full outfit for £7..  I think that pretty amazing really!
This dress from TKMAXX retailed at over £15 and was in their huge final clearance sale in my local store in Hull. The dropped hem also looks good lifted up with a belt and is gives such a smart/casual look great for both daytime and night time wear. The nude colour of the dress is also on trend at the moment which makes it all the better. I just love the fact you don't have to pay a lot of money to look nice! It's good really because at the moment I am SUPER skint (reason for all the not very colourful and out there posts) 
I really liked this dress when I saw it because I thought for the price it would be great for some nice days out and the silky material hung really nicely! It also went goes with my hair which is good because a lot of formal things I buy to go with my hair either have to be a bold colour to contrast or black (maybe white but it makes me look fatter than I am so I think about it first) So sometimes it's tricky!

So if you are looking for a bargain at the moment TKMAXX have a lot of great unique stuff in and what I like about that shop is the fact that all the shops sell different things. I don't really rate their website as much as their store though! Especially for bargains. HAPPY SHOPPING XO

THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON EAR CUFF.. (AND A SPIDER WEB ONE TOO!)

Everyone knows my love for ear piercings, I have 10 in 1 ear and 2 in the other (uneven I know, just how I like it) I recently signed up to etail pr, and got onto some campaigns to do some more blogging as it's a lot easier when you can have other things than what you buy to blog about, and luckily Body Jewellery Shop kindly accepted me. After filling in a few details they sent me not only 1 but 2 of my chosen ear jewellery pieces. I chose these because I can wear them with my ear piercings I already have and having shopped on their website before it's great to be blogging for them!

I chose the Spider Web Wrap Ear Cuff and the Dragon Wrap Ear Cuff, these were my two favourite pieces from a long list and they look absolutely amazing on too!



So first I tried on the Spider Web Wrap Ear Cuff and it fit perfectly over my left ear, it also has a prong at the back that sits behind the ear which can be adjusted to make it fit comfortably and not wobble. This one fits on the left ear only due to its detail and shape which for me is great because it worked great with my piercings that are already there! It looks so pretty on and I've tried to show it in more than 1 angle to show how lovely this fits! It doesn't actually feel like I have anything extra on my ear which I really like because I won't unconsciously knock it off if I feel something odd. 
The small gem in the middle shines so bright when it's on the ear and if it needed to be anymore noticeable (which it doesn't as it's already pretty visible, not everyday you walk about with a cobweb on your ear!) this does the job fab!







The next product they sent me was the Dragon Wrap Ear Cuff which was a surprise to find as I was only expected 1 as that's what it stated on the campaign but the more the better I am very grateful!
This one I didn't know how to wear especially with my ear full of piercings, because it doesn't cover as much ear as the cobweb cuff I didn't want it to clash. I have tested on both ears!
The metal this cuff is made out of is very malleable and can easily be moulded around the ear for comfort and stability! I particularly love the little claw/dragon hand that is also used to help the cuff stay on it works really well and I've seen this in a few ear cuffs on the internet. This cuff though has really good intricate detailing on the dragon itself which I think is great because even though it's a simple cuff it's just as intricate as the web!
Another great thing about the dragon cuff is that unlike the cobweb it works on both ears and can be worn upside down and the right way around, which means I can have something on both ears if I want too!! (even myself out) 





I would definitely recommend the products I have reviewed from the Body Jewellery Shop and all the other products on there for that matter. I have had bad experiences with other jewellery websites and shops as some look cheap and tacky and also aren't as hard working as they should be, but the products from this company are a very high standard and at great prices! So from a knowledgable ear piercing lover then take it from me these products are as good as I say, just hope other piercing enthusiasts read this post and take a look at their amazing array of items! 
Thanks again to Body Jewellery Shop for giving me the opportunity to blog for you and I hope we can work together in the future!


THANK YOU!

TIALS LIFE




[Crop Top -  TIALS ]
[Jeans - LEVI (VINTAGE)]
[Glasses - Primark]
[Hair - Bleach London]






 Love my TIALS Crop top, the logo straps on the back make it such a great top. It literally goes with everything I own which is fab and it can be worn as/without a bra!! It goes so well with my make shift ragged priest jeans which I DIY'ed when I couldn't afford the real ones! My jeans were £1 from the charity shop and I did the cutting myself therefore I saved a lot of money on these as on the ragged priest website they're quite expensive for what they are.

I paired them together because they're quite rebel-like and against the norm, would have looked fab with a silver or gold chain (if i owned one) and some other statement jewellery then I could have pretended I was jenny from the block...










PEACE XO

ULTRABROWS

So finally I've been able to get my hands on ULTRABROWS from makeup revolution. I've been wanting this in medium to dark shade for so long, I was getting a bit desperate when I was going into Superdrug twice a week ATLEAST looking for it! I didn't get it online though because apparently  they were sending out the lighter shades because the darker one had just totally sold out. BUT luckily on a wim I found the last one in my local Superdrug the other day and it was only £6! 


Amazingly simple packaging in my eyes with a cute little diagram of what's in it on the back! All good so far! 


A cute little shiny box all sleek and new looking! (Won't stay like that for long knowing me) but still amazing to look at! And looks more expensive than £6!!!



 

So what do you get for your £6 I hear you ask... 
Well.. 4 mixable eyebrow shades, 2 eyebrow fixing waxes, a highlighter powder, a highlighting fix wax, an eyebrow pencil, 2 brushes and a pair of tweezers..
AMAZING? I KNOW RIGHT! I was just as shocked, especially when you see the standard! cheap makeup can sometimes be diluted and less pigmented than some of the more expensive brands but as this brand does more 'dupe' items the quality in my eyes is just as good as the more expensive brands for just a lower more affordable price.


My eye brows do need shaping and sorting out but I couldn't wait to use it! And I haven't applied any filters to my images so you can see what it's actually like without everyone's friend Valencia! 




Bare in mind also this is the first time I've used this new thing so I'm
Still learning where everything goes and I am not a makeup expert I just like to buy it every now and again! So from 1 learning makeup enthusiast to another I hope you one this helpful! 
I do think it's definitely worth the money as I was doing research on other brow sets because I never thought I'd get this one and for the large range of prices the sets are SO SMALL! This palette is very pigmented and the brushes work a treat, the highlighter has a pink tinge to it which looks amazing with most eyeshadows so I would definitely recommend to everyone if you want to have a practice at eyebrow techniques and not paying a fortune!

A DAY OF AA AND COLOUR

[Two Piece - American Apparel (discontinued)]
[Sunglasses - Boohoo.com]
[Shoes - Topshop (SALE)]
[Lipstick - Makeup Revolution]


I've already done a post with this outfit a while ago but it does deserve more recognition as it is an amazing piece! Bought from AA in Leeds for my 20th in April I got it just in time but they only had size larges left. Fortunately it fit me better than I thought it would and it was the last one so I had to have it! and to top it off I couldn't resist wearing my boohoo cat eye sunglasses. I literally wear them every day with everything! 
Also sporting the miley buns which match the wall in this fab colourful area of derelict land! I thought this outfit would be a bit of fun and includes the very "IN" vertical stripes to make me look taller than the small 5'6 I actually am, also helped by the platform shoes from Topshop sale £15 which I love! (especially when I get an extra 10% off because I am a student!) 
I wanted my lipstick to match my shoes so as I don't have a bag so I used a dark vamp shade makeup revolution lipstick thats £1 from superdrug which is very close to the blackness of the shoes to fill up the look! 











I will be putting this outfit on my depop as I don't have room for it anymore. So if you wish to buy my depop is @annahodgson and there is lots of stuff on there to buy!

Thanks for reading 

PEACE XO

PROBABLY MORE T-SHIRT THAN DRESS....


[Top/Dress - Primark]
[Coatigan - The Ragged Preist]
[Sunglasses - Primark]
[Shoes - Topshop]
[Lipstick - Makeup Revolution]


 Not much colour to this outfit other than my hair, I wanted to try a change with my style and try an outfit without colour. I think this top would look great with some white culottes or shorts, with maybe some vertical stripes on. I thought it would go fab also with my king kong coatigan from The Ragged Priest! 




I like the fact its quite a greyscale outfit, until you get to my hair and get a woosh of colour which goes really well with they grey! Just shows that coloured hair can be more versatile than people initially think, you don't always have to be the worlds biggest colour palette!

I also have quite subtle makeup on with some DARK lippy which is great which the black coat to give a kind of gothy look. It could be called a stylish goth look but maybe not with the length of this dress..

I was also thinking that I could get wrapped up in this coatigan with a belt but enough so you could still see the top, I think that could be another way to wear it. Baring in mind I did get this top in a size 18 to make sure it would fit overlarge and something that I could maybe wear over a bikini and multi-use! Trying to get the most out of my clothes as usual!!







PEACE! XO
