Tattoo Tights - Cats, Dolls and Guro

You can never have too many pairs of Tattoo Tights! I LOVE them, they are so much fun and go with all kinds of styles and outfits. This morning, these four lovely tights arrived through my doors and I couldn't wait to share them with you. All of them are from eBay and cost next to nothing.

• Cat print
• Guro/Bleeding print
• Alice in Wonderland print
• Ball Jointed Doll (BJD) print

I wear tights almost everyday so they need to be good quality and quite thick so I don't rip them easily. The BJD print tights are a lot thick than the other three but they are all really good quality. If you want to get your hands on some of these tights, just search for them on eBay - using the key words Tattoo Tights. There are so many different styles to choose from and lots of different sellers. 

Happy Shopping!

Style Inspiration - Andi Autumn

I thought it was about time I did another 'Inspired By' post and this week, it's Andi Autumn. Andi is a model who used to go by the name 'Cake Injection', she used to wear a lot of sweet lolita but now she lives in Hong Kong and has such a cool and eclectic style! She mixes so many different trends together and just makes it work, it's fun, vibrant, edgy and cute. It reminds me a lot of Harajuku Street Style but with her own twists and signature platinum blonde hair. She hangs out a lot with Ruby Gloom and Eva Chung who are also models in Hong Kong. She's currently working in a band with Ruby Gloom too. 

To check out more of Andi's style and pics, check out her Instagram 'andiautumn' or 'follow' her Facebook page 'HERE'

Barry M - Confetti Nails

A couple of days ago, I was able to get hold of a bottle of the Barry M Confetti Nails in pink. I've been wanting to try this since it came out and after hearing a lot of mixed reviews, I wasn't sure what to expect.

I decided to go with all pastel colours, using my Models Own scented collection and a glitter for my thumb. The Confetti was really easy to apply and it spread out on the nail really well. The only downside I would say is that the brush is a little too thin, it's not like a regular nail polish brush.

After one coat:

So, the confetti spread itself out really well after just one coat. It dries super quick but I'd recommend putting a little top coat over it just to keep it smooth. You could leave it after just one coat but I think you can never have too many sprinkles right?

After two coats:

CONFETTI OVERLOAD!!!! After two coats, I applied a shiny top coat just to finish it off. I'm pretty happy with the results although I think the shade of confetti would look better on darker polish, even black would look pretty cool.

Overall, I'm really happy with the Barry M Confetti Nail Polish and will definitely be experimenting with it on different base colours. I really hope that you enjoyed this little review and if you have any questions, just let me know ^_^

The Cats Are Taking Over

Yesterday, I had my first therapy session as part of my relapse recovery program. It was a group session so I was unbelievably nervous but it went well and I'm going to be doing this until November! After group, I decided to go shopping as a bit of a distraction...

• Cat Dress - H&M
• Cat Diary/Journal - Paperchase
• Bunny Pen - Paperchase
• Pink Confetti Nail Polish - Barry M (review coming soon)
• Pink Sheer Lipstick - Barry M

After photographing those items, I slowly realised that so much of my wardrobe is cat themed >.< I can't help it!!!! This morning, my hat arrived that I'd ordered a few days ago. I'd been wanting this hat for a while but I couldn't figure out where to get it from. After searching through eBay, I found a UK seller (which I was a bit sceptical of because of previous experience with UK sellers on eBay) but I risked it because I knew the shipping would be fast. I'm so, so happy with the hat though, it's exactly what I wanted and fits like a dreeeeeeam! I feel like a Kpop Gangsta wannabe haha!

I really hope you like this little post and that everyone is having a great weekend in the sun!

Beauty by Lauren Conrad

Remember 'The Hills?', well, I have to admit that I was a HUGE fan (lame, I know) but I couldn't help it. After the show finished, pretty much all the cast disappeared but Lauren Conrad used the show as a platform to continue her work in the Fashion Industry. She also achieved the 'New York Times Bestseller' for her novels. Alongside her fictional stories, she's also created two 'guide books', one for Style and one (see above) for Beauty. Having read her novels (yes, I know, I'm sounding very cool at the moment >.<) I thought I'd give the Beauty book a go and I have to say, I'm really impressed.

Lauren guides you through every part of beauty that you can think of, from hair and nails, to skincare, makeup and even lightly touches on diet and exercise. This book gives you so much advise and is packed full of tutorials and tips! The layout is really beautiful, with useful photographs, illustrations and little 'side projects' in the margins. The skincare section is my favourite. It goes into a lot of detail about what products to try and also explains any myths that you may hear about skincare. Lauren also uses here 'celebrity status' for good so a lot of the book gives you advise from professionals already working in the industry.

Overall, it's a great book for anyone interested in all aspects of beauty (not just makeup). It's detailed, well thought out and very pretty to look at. If you'd like to get yourself a copy, pop over to Amazon for some good deals on this and also her book on Style. You can also check out Lauren's blog HERE.

Happy Reading!

What's In My Bag - Beauty Edition

It's been a while since my last 'What's in my bag' post so I thought I'd do a little 'Beauty Edition' for a change ^^ I used to wear makeup everyday when I was growing up, even if I wasn't going out, I'd still slap it all on. As time went on and I started to learn about skincare and what my own skin needed, I now don't wear makeup everyday and allow my skin to breathe (sometimes). With this, I don't really use a lot of products on a daily basis but what I do use, I swear by.

 Being a veggie and more of an animal person than a people person ^^ I try to only buy cruelty free cosmetics or products that haven't been tested on animals. I'm only human though and I slip up sometimes but I'm trying. Most of my makeup and skin care comes from Lush, Urban Decay, Illamasqua or Benefit. Some drugstore products too from Superdrug because they are free from animal testing.

 So, my base...I always start with moisturiser, even when I'm having a 'day off'. I use the Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream from The Bodyshop. It's super light and great for combination skin. After that, I apply my concealer then my Illamasqua foundation. This is seriously the BEST foundation I have ever used and it took me way too long to find it. I have super bad skin, it's prone to breakouts caused by stress and it's patchy but this is a full coverage foundation. You don't really even need a concealer. The great thing about the foundation is, though it's full coverage, it's super lightweight so it doesn't feel all heavy and sticky. After that, just a light dusting of powder (Rimmel) and a red toned blush.

 The next two mini palettes, I can't live without! They cover my eyes and brows and are super easy to travel with. Both are perfect for smoky eyes or natural makeup. The Too Faced palette has a bronzer and highlighter too. I seriously love them both and would definitely recommend them ^_^

Black eyeliner is something I can't go without. I LOVE black liquid eyeliner, it's perfect for defining the eye and even changing the shape of it. Big Fatty mascara from Urban Decay is new to my makeup collection but very welcome, I'd definitely recommend it. When it comes to lips, I'm a sucker for red! I love red lipstick, glosses, balms..everything. Sometimes, all a girl needs is a pair of sunnies and some red lipstick! I also have a few pairs of eyelashes and a large eyeshadow palette full of rainbow colours!

Well, that's 'What's in my Beauty bag'. I really hope that you enjoyed this post and maybe found some new products that you'd like to try. I had so much fun writing this post and taking the photographs, it would be really cool to see what's in your makeup bag too!

If you have any questions about any of the products, I'd be super happy to answer them :) Also, I'm planning to do a little skincare post really soon, so look out for that too!

RTBU - Cult Party Kei Tulle Dress

RTBU (Refuse To Be Usual) is one of my favourite places to shop on eBay. It holds a huge selection of Japanese Street Fashion and is one of the best places to go for shoes! The store is always moving forward with the latest trends in Tokyo so it was no surprise that I was able to find exactly what I was looking for. I'm getting more and more into Cult Party Kei and my wardrobe is slowly turning into a frilly mess. The one main thing that I was missing was a sheer dress to go over the top of CPK coords and RTBU didn't let me down ^_^

I ordered this dress about 2 weeks ago so the shipping was pretty quick. It cost me £21 +shipping which can make it a little expensive but I think it was worth it. The dress falls just above my knee and is perfect over fluffy petticoats. It has a cute, white peter pan collar and princess puffy sleeves. On the sleeves there is a little cherub which I thought was super cute.

I've also ordered a white belt to go with this dress so you can pull in the waist and give yourself a better figure with it.

The link to RTBU is HERE. I really hope that you enjoyed this little post. Happy Shopping!

How would you style this dress?
