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!

LEAVING ON A JET PLANE

I know this isn't really a fashion related post but I just need to spread the word on my first day/night in Germany! 
I won't lie I was so scared to come as I've never been on a plane before (to my knowledge) and didn't know what to expect at all.. My best friend who I've come to see helped me a lot we was constantly on the phone in the airport because I didn't even know what to do! 
This is my best friend Jordan by the way. 

Once on the plane (finally) 
I was sat next to a nice lady called Helen, she was from the UK too but visiting her fiancĂ© in Germany! Which I thought was so romantic I won't lie. But anyway she saw how nervous I was about the plane and she was so kind to me and when we was about to take off she gave me a chewy to help my ear popping situation. I must admit I did get a little bit scared when taking off though, I didn't even know planes went that fast or anything! I mean I know it's got to go some speed to get off the ground but gees Louise that was fast! 
The flight was quick and cool as a cucumber until we started to land and descend quite fast which got me panicking, because at first i didn't know what was happening. After landing the Helen stayed with me till Jordan came to me as shed obviously been here a lot more than I had and her fiancĂ© hadn't arrived either but once I found Jordan I was so fine again! 
So after a drive, a plane, a train and a tram I was finally where I needed to be! And the first thing we did was get food  OBVIOUSLY and also nap.
Jordan was invited to a party down stairs in the accommodation we were at, in a car park? Yeah car park.. A multi-storey one, but yeah with Jordan's American friend (his name begins with an M) we went to this party and oh my god it was so cool! It was like a derelict room that had lights and a little DJ set in it with loud music it was great. Nobody but my and Jordan were English but they all spoke it which was fab! Jord has a good few friends here and they were all lovely to meet and yeah we just drank calsberg elephant which is like this amazing beer that is 7.5% so strong and was only €4.99 for 6 large-ish bottles which is like £3.16 for them which is amazing! I took a photo of one of the cans.
So we drank that and a little bit of vodka and then we was drunk enough to  dance with everyone. It was really kinda cool and what surprises me was everyone was about 19+ ish which is great as sometimes when you go to parties and it's full of younger people it's a bit odd. 
But yeah so far so good and if you wanna read more into my Germany experience keep checking back I'll be posting some more! 

And here's my view, lovely isn't it! 



Chow!

MINGA LONDON INFAMOUS RAINBOW UNITARD

[Rainbow Unitard - Minga London]
[Jacket - AGE UK]
[Trainers - Adidas (Footlocker)]
[Belt - Topshop]
[Bag - Topshop]
[Septum Ring - eBay]
[Necklace - Tatty Devine]


I've been so excited to write this post and even just get this unitard! I saw it about 2 months ago and I desperately needed it but by the time I got the money {as I am worlds poorest student} it had sold out and I was devastated! After messaging the company and stalking their instagram (probably worlds most annoying customer) it finally came back in stock! After they kindly tagged me in a comment to let me know it was back I ordered it there and then! A week and a bit later (thanks to the bank holiday) it came! I didn't just want to write a normal post about it because I love it so much, I wanted to make a special effort, so took my camera man {boyf} and drove us to a derelict housing estate to find something colourful, or more colourful than my garden/a wall! 

Finally got some cute shots that show off this amazing unitard! 
Sorry for spamming!




           






The unitard itself is SO amazing, the colours are so vibrant! and even though it only comes in one size it's very giving! and less see through than I thought it would have been, especially when I took it out of the packaging because it looked so small! But once it was on I didn't wanna take it off ever! I can't wait to wear it in Germany next week! 
I had to pair this unitard with my pink supercolours because they're like a match made in heaven and to top it off I had to include my gorgeous piece of fluff backpack {I feel like a little Dora the Explorer in it} best buy at £26 from Topshop!

I've tried to link most of the stuff in my ootd but some of them I either got on sale or from vintage/charity shop therefore I can't 

But just one final thing... ISN'T THIS UNITARD AMAZING!!!??????

TWO BIG VINTAGE BUYS! SUMMER GEMS

[Swimsuit - Vintage]
[Lilac Duster Coat - Age UK]
[Flatform Sliders - Primark]
[Necklace - Tatty Devine]
So as you may know on a Wednesday morning I like to go to Walton Street Market to see if I can get any bargains for summer and for my growing wardrobe! I went this Wednesday and my favourite stall/man wasn't even there which made me the MOST sad! So to cheer myself up I took a trip to my favourite charity shops and some of them in Hull have vintage sections which is so good! I found these bargains and I was so overwhelmed! This gorgeous vintage swimsuit was from the vintage part and omg took me by surprise, I didn't even take time to look at it or try it on, it was just love at first sight and I had to have it! It has an amazing plunge type neckline and a low back! It's also such a bright vibrant pattern, so this summer! Would look amazing with some shorts or even a cute black zip up bodycon skirt but mostly with some GORG velvet lace up shorts from somewhere like dolls kill! although right now they're all sold out! :( 
As for the duster coat it was from my all time favourite charity shop which is the AGE UK discount shop on Holderness Road! NOTHING is more than £2 in there, whether it be shoes, bags, coats etc... AMAZING! and this little beauty was only £1.50 and I love it! I can't wait to take it to Germany with me next week! It's not coming off! I think it would compliment black skinny jeans perfectly with a nice white raglan or something similar it would be the cutest! even by the pool this little ensemble would be perfect!
I think I should literally be crowned Hull's biggest bargain queen! maybe even the UK's especially with clothes I seem to just find the bargains everywhere! Maybe it;s just the fact that Hull is so cheap for EVERYTHING!  








Hope you love this outfit as much as I do and feel free to comment on what you think! 
Thank you for reading! 

PEACE!

EBAY CHINA FOREVER

[Two Piece - eBay]
[Fishnet Tights - eBay]
[Trainers - Nike]

I've always being a big fan of eBay the clothing shops/boutiques on there and I have being buying occasionally for a good few years! As I am going to Germany soon I wanted to get a few pieces from eBay China for my travels that would fit in my case so I could take more! Ordering from eBay China is just as easy as normal eBay (obviously) but just takes a bit longer than usual to get to you! The items from eBay are very small simple designs and come in VERY small sizes (as I've worked out) but after a few purchases you get to know the averages sizes (I predict it at about 2 sizes smaller than UK sizes) I bought this little two piece as a test to go under a mesh/crochet dress I have to wear this summer! Both pieces cost me approx £5 which is a really good price and took approx 2 weeks to get to me but all arrived well and good! :D I also got the fishnet tights from there too as they cost something like 80p and it's good when you're not bothered about having them ASAP because it's a nice surprise when they do finally arrive! The fishnet stockings I was pleasantly surprised by them as they were 'one size' so I thought to myself that they definitely wouldn't fit me in a million years but they did!  






I will be doing a few more blog posts in the future about more of my cheap eBay China buys so if you're interested then keep checking back!
I will also link up to the items as soon as I re-find them on eBay.

PEACE

REVIEWING NEW COLOUR FREEDOM + PASTELISER! HAIR CHANGE!

I'm I've had so many compliments on my hair colours that have had this past year and thought it would be quite a useful thing for people if I did a small blog post/review on colours that I am trying out. 
This one is new-ish in superdrug and I've only just decided to try it because I am too addicted to my bleach london because I trust it with my life! <3<3<3 (FAN GIRL MOMENT) 

This one caught my eye because it looks as though you get a bit more control over what colour you can go. The two boxes are hair dye and the colourful tube is a "pasteliser" which turns the vivid colour into a pastel colour! So really I can decide the shade of purple I want. I thought it would be good to go purple as at the moment I am lilac anyway so it should just compliment what I already have on my hair. The tubes that contain the colours are quite big so I may get a few goes out of them! I did buy 2 though because it was buy one get one free and the same with the pasteliser but I got toner free instead because I have a few golden bits that need to be gone for this to work best! These are all £6.99 each so on the deal all for £12.99 when it's meant to be over £20 for all 4 items I bought is really good, so check out the superdrug website or your nearest stores for the details on the hair dying offers! 

I am excited to use this because I am such a big lover of hair dying that it anything like this excites me. I've been dying my hair all colours since I was about 14 years old so it's seen a lot of colour and a lot of dye in its time but what can I say, IM ADDICTED TO HAIR DYE!





                  

                  


So I read the instructions, and mixed what I thought was correct kind of and then put it on my hair. After half an hour I took it off thinking it would be a nice toned down purple colour more lilacy nice and light... 
Well..
I've never been so wrong in my life, I came out of the shower to this..!


The shade so far away from lilac it's unreal, I let out a little scream when I was looking at it after the shower, not what I expected at all! 




Dry wasn't much lighter either! Still gobsmacked this morning I am very concerned about my hair because I wanted light hair, maybe I mis read the inscriptions or mixed wrong but whatever I did, don't do if you don't want live XXL vibrant hair! I'm going to continue to wash with both washing up liquid and anti dandruff shampoo to lighten it back up because it just so doesn't suit me! 


I washed it a bit more though this morning with the washing up liquid and SO much purple foam came off but not much has lightened but I will carry on and keep you posted with my progress. If I mixed it right and didn't keep it on for long I think it would be a LOVELY colour, I aren't giving up yet, and I will be writing more parts to this blog post for this dye so keep your eyes peeled! 



If you have any comments of how to lighten hair another way but not bleaching please comment as right now I need as much help as possible! 

Thank you!
