Go!Team

Wore this to see The Go! Team last Thursday. The gig was rubbish, not really their fault though, it was doors at 9, the band started at 12 and the sound was awful. We left after 3 songs and went to a silent disco instead, heaps more fun. 

 Cardigan from Penneys - €5

Scarf from Penneys - €5

Minnie Mouse T-Shirt from Penneys - €9

Bag from Kembali - €12 (It's now broken sadly, I have such bad luck with bags)

Topshop Shorts - €30

Black Milk Leggings - €50

Converse - €20

You may notice I've dyed my hair blue. I love it and the colour is lasting really well. Might do a post soon about hair dying, and how to make the colour come out bright and last a long time. 

FOTD 27 Aug 10

So today I decided to use my new Lacura lashes. I don't usually wear false lashes, before this I'd only ever worn the weird ones with feathers and glitter and stuff for fancy dress. Considering I'm not used to applying them I don't think I did too bad, although they're not quite close enough to my lashline.

Wow these pictures make me realise how badly I need a haircut. I can't decide though if I want to keep it long(ish) or get it cut short again.

I used: 

Face

Bourjois 10 Hour Sleep Effect foundation

17 Translucent Loose Powder

MAC Hipness blush

MAC MSFN

Bourjois highlighter

 

Eyes

UDPP

Ruby and Millie Gold Cream e/s

MAC Time & Space, Nanogold, Orb, Spiced Chocolate & Shore Leave e/s

UD X e/s

UD Bourbon 24/7 liner

MAC Blacktrack Fluidline

Lacura lashes

 Maybelline The Collossal mascara

Lips

17 Balmy Beige lipstick

And a black and white photo, I'm trying to get some nice black and white pictures to put in my portfolio for my interview, since I'm sure I'll have to do makeyp for black and white photography in my course. If I get it, fingers crossed! 

I went shopping today, got a few bargains. 

The dress was €2 from Penneys, the falsies were 50c from there too. 

I got this 17 Bronze palette a few days ago, my sister was buying some nail varnish from 17 and this came free. It's got 2 eyeshadows, a brown and a cream. A golden bronzer and a gold-brown lipgloss. 

The other two items are a 17 nail polish, on clearance for €1.50, which I was going to buy for €5 a few weeks ago, and a Revlon lipstick, Black Cherry, which was €3 reduced from €10.50. The polish is black with silver sparkle and is gorgeous! The lipstick is a dark cherry-plum and very nice and creamy. I'll post swatches tomorrow, the light's too bad now. 

More from Penneys

After the last post I had a bit of a root around (in between watching The Mexican and messing about on Tumblr) and I found some more pictures from the new Penneys collection. I found a few things I'd really like to get my hands on. All pictures taken from InStyle 

Let's start with this DOUBLE RING because oh my gosh AWESOME!!! Firstly, it has owls. I love owls. Second, it's a cheap, easily (hopefully) available double ring. That never happens here, seriously.

I'll need to see and try on this aviator jacket before I make my mind up on it. Fake leather can look so... well, fake sometimes which really doesn't do it for me. In this picture this looks good, the jacket looks warm and flattering and the 'leather' looks matte and semi-realistic. 

I really need both these Military dresses in my life. The shape of them is perfect for me, narrow on the waist and loose on the hips. When you have ridiculous child bearing hips like mine that's something you keep an eye out for. I just hope the buttony bits don't look tacky in person.

I love Parka jackets. I know they're all in fashion and stuff right now but I really don't think I could live with myself if I shelled out a lot of money for an expensive one because until recently they were seen as totally unfashionable and were languishing on Army and Navy and charity shop rails. I do have a nice parka from an Army and Navy store which I've had for a few years. It's super warm though so a lighter alternative would be handy. I'll need to have a look at this one. 

Penneys this Autumn

I find shopping in Penneys (Primark for you UK folk) is a lot like shopping in a charity shop. 99% of the clothes are awful but what's left are total bargains. My biggest gripe with them though is that they change their stock around so often that you don't have time to consider your purchases, if you like something you have to buy it straight away or it will probably be gone when you get back. 

A lot of the clothes in my wardrobe are from Penney's because I really can't afford to spend much on clothes. I'm a student and I only work one or two nights a week. I stumbled upon pictures of their Autumn collection today and I'm fairly impressed! 

I definitely need this jumper in my wardrobe. The jeans look nice too but I find Penneys jeans don't fit me right.

There were a few more bits and pieces I liked too, the black aviator jacket looked nice although I'd have to see it in person to make sure it wasn't too plastic looking.
