Yo! Long time no blog, yada, yada…

This is a bit of a Summery outfit I guess, we took these photos just as the Sunshine was ending (about 2 months ago >.<) So I do apologise if the sunshine is offending your eyes right now as I am sure you are aware, IT’S FREAKING DECEMBER! How on earth did that come around so quickly, eigh? Anyway…

Shade Station very kindly sent me these sunglasses & I can safely say they are the best sunnies I have ever worn, they, like, actually shade your eyes from the sun?! Who’d have thought it? I have a full on blog post on these babies soon so keep your peepers peeled!

Anyway, it’s nice to be back, not that any of you probably even noticed I hadn't blogged in a while (ya know, life & stuff took over again.) But like I said, it’s nice to be back blogging! Happy 1st of December! ^_^

Palm print shirt: Motel
Denim zip skirt: Motel
Pleather jacket: Daisy Street (ps there is 30% off everything at the mo ;) )
Bitch face: all mine babaaay!

Gosh, I have a bit of chronic bitch face going on today don’t I? I’m not miserable, promise, I do however feel like I have swallowed a kitchen knife & a handful of rusty nails so that would probably explain my not so impressed looking face…

I have been wanting an alternative to my Levi 501’s for a while now as everybody & their Mum wears them, especially around this time of year *‘like, OMG, it’s totes festival season guys, like, I totally, like am soooo indie & into bands, like where are my denim shorts & crop tops, I need to like dress like, totes boho chic with my expensivo wellies, yah yah…’’* UGH >.< plz stop… anyway back to the skirt, it has replaced my denim shorts & I’m loving it. You can’t beat a bit of asymmetric & exposed zip. Motel, you have NAILED IT once again!

As for the shirt, well, I think the shirt speaks for itself, don’t you  think?!

Oh yeah & I’m guessing you all have bloglovin’ now as GFC is supposedly dying tomorrow (RIP) Soooo as my blog is actually works on there now (after months & months of trying tot sort the damn thing out >.<) you can follow me on bloglovin’ here>link

So here I am again, blogging from the bus station. I am hoping my new laptop charger will arrive within the next few days as I hate being so unorganised with bloggy things & emails etc.

These photos were taken just before we headed off to Valencia a few weeks ago.  I think I went a little overboard on the fake tan lol as I do look a little on the ´I have just visited the sun´ side ahahahha ahhh well.

I´m keeping this post as short & sweet as possible as I currently only have 3 minutes left on my time limit & there is no (english) spell check on these computers so I don´t want to write much & spell loads wrong & not realise lol

Anyway, I hope you are all well, speak soon! xx

Oh hai again, remember me? Only kidding, although it does seem like an age since I posted an outfit >.< Liams brother came over to stay so doing outfit posts hasn’t really been possible this week. But I was organised & saved from last week! (& another for tomorrow)

I have been working hard painting up new stock for effienails this week, I am so excited to upload the new designs to my site, I just need to wait for some bits & bobs to arrive from ebay & photograph the new nails, it’s a lot harder work than I was expecting it to be (tiiiiiime consuming) but when I get emails/tweets from happy customers, it makes me realise how much I do actually love painting nails.

REMEMBER YOU CAN GET 20% OFF @ EFFIENAILS UNTIL MIDNIGHT TONIGHT!

So, as you can see, I edited this photo within an inch of it’s life. While taking photos, we battled against wind, bad sunlight, kids kicking footballs & wait for it, a different wall, DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUN *gasps* But oh well :)

I love my new jeans! You may have seen me tweet about them the other day. I have been lusting over them for tiiiiiime! If you have followed my blog for a while, you will probably already know that I am an astronomy junkie, I don’t just like galaxy print (like some) I like actual galaxies & space & Physics & shizz too! (Brian Cox is my hero) so I feel that these jeans were made for me! So, thank you very much Motel! You have made this little space girl very happy! :)

Motel inspired nails…

As you can see, this weeks nails are inspired by the brilliant Motel Rocks. I always love their designs & I couldn’t resist trying to paint their prints! I am so pleased with how they have turned out. My favourites have to be the floral, baroque & ‘new check’ nails.
I think this whole ‘inspired by’ nails is turning into a bit of a series ahahha! I am really enjoying transferring fashion trends onto nails. What do you think? Should I keep it going, or do you think I’m being a bit too repetitive?
