A #veryclearancechristmas





2 weeks ago I was lucky enough to get a last minute spot on the #verymerrychristmas event which involved some crafts and a talk about fashion buying.  When I got there you could see the girls had made such an effort and they had put on an amazing spread - even with their own personalised wine bottles!
Firstly we kicked things off with a little crafting when we each got to design our own bags, I wasn't overly creative and copied Hannah and Catherine's idea of using a doilie to get a kinda circular lace imprint and then put my initials inside. Such an easy and simple idea- it looked great and would make an amazing personalised gift to someone! Next we just chatted while eating some of the lovely bits they grabbed ( FYI apricot Wensleydale is a DREAM) and we even had a guest appearance by a dog - which was so freakin cute!!
Lastly Hannah gave us a small insight into fashion buying and why she picked out the items they brought along to show us, where they came from and some tips on styling them as well. They had some gorgeous jumpers/ dresses and even some Millie Mackintosh clothing! We were all chatting away so much that we had to be kicked out the room as our time was up! It definitely was a lovely event and the girls have been kind enough to offer £5 off when you spend £15 using this link - http://www.ebay.co.uk/sme/veryclearance/so.html?_soffid=5010239108&_soffType=TargetedOffer&_soprvw=1 -it's valid until the 13th december! 
Let me know if you get anything! Merry Christmas guys! :) 

P.s sorry for the lack of posts, 1) life's been mental 2) my internet is playing up and I can't figure out why! It's taken me several days to get this post up!

Beauty review: Tanya Burr Eyelashes



I tried falsies a while back and had been looking to try them again, initially I was looking at getting  some of the Millie Mackintosh ones but since I can't find them in a shop and Tanya recently released hers......so I thought, this is perfect!

I grabbed a pair at superdrug for £5.49 which I think is pretty good! I wasn't sure which lashes to get but thought the date night would look the most natural for me, I really like the twiggy style way they are set up and I definitely could not be bothered to do individual lashes.

Honestly? I really liked these, I'm not an avid lash wearer so I couldn't honestly say how they compare to others, they really are perfect date night or night out lashes, with extra flicks on the edges. They were easy to apply, they stayed on all night and even till the next stay as I forgot I had them on and slept in them - Oops! I know when I wore some eyelure ones they came off in the night so I was super pleased with that. I would say you can get a few wears out of this. Think I am going to try the rest of the range though... totally not sure about the individuals! haha may give myself a few months before that point.

Here is a super rubbish phone picture of them on me!



Which is your favourite pair of Tanya Burr lashes?

And which are your favourite Millie Mackintosh ones? I think I may brave getting a few pairs!

Style Crush: Millie Mackintosh

Hello!!

I realised I haven't blogged at all this week!! That's no good!

This week I got my ASOS goodies!! If you saw my Egypt lust haves! I ordered all the dresses and a cheeky MANGO jumper that was on sale, sadly I had to return the jumper for a smaller size, I'm kidding I'm not that sad... It means I am shrinking!! Though it was so comfy I can't wait to get it back!! Two of the dresses I did return :( The stunning printed mango dress and the ASOS maxi dress. The maxi dress was just toooo long for my tiny legs and didn't sit right because of it. The MANGO dress I was so gutted about because its beautiful, I think it was made for taller people.... It was baggy everywhere but real tight on my hips no matter what I would have do it just would have sat weird on me so I had to say no to that :( on the plus side I am in LOOVEEE with the Midi dresses I got! take a peek at my instagram for a pic of me in the baroque dress! However I'm not moping too much because today I saw this beaaauutiful dress from Topshop I'm going to buy tomorrow:

(p)



So this post is mainly about Millie's style, has anyone been watching Made in Chelsea? It's definitely my guilty pleasure!! Anyway, I follow Millie on twitter ( HOW CUTE IS HERBY?!?) and she has been posting a  Style Diary . so I put a little collage of some of my favourite outfits! I really like the layout of her style diary I think I am going to be naughty and steal this for when I do my style diaries. Millie has a really good mix of high street clothes and the more expensive ones that unfortunately we can't all afford( like that purple burberry coat in my first pic :( ) I was obsessed with the missgudied tie dye dress, but looking at the measurements I am FAR to short for it. It's hard being 5 foot!! Which are your favourite Millie outfits?



On a personal note, not long to Egypt!!! I've lost a little more weight, I just need to start doing more cardio which is hard when I am banned from running still! I will be spending the next ten days at the yoga lounge( I will blog about this in a few days) I've made a bit of money on ebay which I have been putting aside in my savings! I've decided to try and sell as much as possible before I move in August, anything unsold will go to charity shops and I am going to go craaazzzyyy  in the art shops in Manchester!

I think that's all for now dears.
