Boring Post Alert :'(

Hey guys :)

I have bad news.
Since I have summer exams coming up (like a lot of you), I am afraid I will have to postpone all blog posts until after my exams. I feel like SUCH a goody two shoes thinking of my exams so much but I am stressing out about them big time, and I felt my blog was just another thing to tick off on my to do list.
So, no more posts until June 1st! (unless I magically find time after studying to come up with a post - unlikely).
Quickly in other news, I was a model for the Leaving Cert drawing exams on Friday and I got a massive oreo bar from the art teacher yum! And we get paid, all for standing still and missing the afternoons classes. Result!
I also got a drawing pad with a lovely tiger on it for my random squiggles and blog plans. I've called her Prima (yes I name inanimate objects).
See you all in three or so weeks!

Haul!

Hello!
As I said in my last post, I bought some really nice things in TK Maxx and Dorothy Perkins last weekend. Just thought I would share them with you coz my little brother is getting reeally sick of hearing about them .... ;)
The sleeveless blouse was the first thing I came across. The print caught my attention and am I glad it did! I just think this top is so cute!
I got a little over excited about these superdry shorts when I was describing them to my aunty (the aforementioned aunt in my 15 facts about me post) . They fit just a lil bit loose which looks really well :) perfect for summer (if we actually get one that is!)
I have been on the lookout for a denim shirt ever since they started to gain popularity but I couldnt find one that (a) I liked or (b) one I knew everyone in my school would not have within a week (that really bugs me, I dont mind them having A Denim Shirt but I wanted my one to be a wee bit more distinctive) I've never heard of the brand but I think it's really nice :)
Where would any girl be without a pair of trusty denim shorts? I live in these in summer, theyre just so handy. They instantly add casual flair to whatever else you're wearing. I also love that these shorts are long but not too long, they're the perfect length! Very tempted to buy another pair of these .....

Outfit :)

Hey guys!
Here's what I wore today. It was wasn't a paticuarly warm outfit but it wasn't too cold today so I survived. I bought this jacket on sale on Urban Outfitters for €25. 25 quid! I was, and still am, amazed. They had a load of jackets on the sale rack but this one stood out and I liked that it was light but baggy at the same time; I can layer hoodies underneath it for warmth when needed. After I bought it I was unsure what to wear it with but I'm learning :) My aunt bought this dress for in H&M years ago but its hard to wear since its so short (I've grown a lot since she's bought it :/) . I don't usually layer leggings under things but I like it with this dress.
I went shopping yesterday and got a few things in TK Maxx - that place is brilliant! I'll do a post on them tomorrow, can't wait start wearing them. I got a pair of shorts, a denim shirt and a sleeveless shirt top thing. And I got another pair of shorts in Dorothy Perkins. They've a massive sale on atm (or they did anyways) and it was really good value! Dunno if it's on in the UK as well or if it's just Ireland ....

All the silly faces/poses are my attempt to hide the fact I have no clue what I'm doing! And the pictures won't go the right way up on my tab :'( I'll fix them asap. 

15 (ish) facts about me!

Hey guys!

Remember ages ago I promised you all a post on 20 (... Or 15...) facts about me? Well, it has finally materialised out of my drafts folder (yes I'm very organised, thank you;) ) Some of these you may know already, others you may not. Enjoy!

1. I live in Ireland. (you already know this if you read my description thingy at the bottom of the page)
2. I've had more hairstyles than I've had hot dinners.
3. I am second oldest in my family.
4. I change what I want to do with my life every few months.
5. My aunty is one of the most stylish people I know.
6. I love all things Tavi Genson and Rookie related.
7. I hate posing for OOTDs. I feel do awkward and it shows. Tips and advice are v welcome.
8. I am addicted to Twitter. Not tweeting, just twitter in general.
9. I work part time minding children.
10. I love my job.^^
11. I adore big cities.
12. I am independent but incapable of acting grownup-ly. (most of the time)
13. My style is indefinable and constantly evolving but is settling towards edgy/girly methinks (pfft famous last words)
14. I have seven piercings (three on each earlobe and one on my nose)
15. I find it nigh on impossible to find time to blog properly :'(.
16. I prefer boys tracksuit bottoms to girls ones (try it! They look the same but are infinitely comfier and warmer and generally cheaper. I suggest Pennys/Primark)
17. Hablo el español, ¡me encantalo¡
18. I am visiting Germany in June!!!

Long time no see!

Hey guys
Sorry it's been so long, almost two weeks. I've ben so caught up in school and work and general busy-ness. Blegh.

I have great news. I have been accepted into an international (europe) youth event! Buzzing does not even describe how I feel right now. It hasn't sunk in yet. I was one of the last people to be informed as I had missed the phone call earlier in the week. I was so disappointed when I thought I hadn't got through, not because I had expected to get through but because I had met some amazing people through the organization and I didn't want to not see them again. It might seem secretive not to mention their name but I want to keep a bit of it for myself; does that make sense to anyone else? Anyways I will keep you up to date about it, where/when I'll be going etc.

I added purple into the ends of my hair. Out didn't come out as strongly as I first had thought but, it's really subtle I like it. My roots are also showing and it's only been two weeks. I never knew being blonde took so much maintenance!

I downloaded snapchat yesterday - it is brilliant! How did I not know know about this app earlier? It's so silly but so much fun. Does anyone else have snapchat? What do you think of it?

My huurr (aka hair)

This is my first post while blonde! I dyed it, well the hairdresser did, in saturday. FOUR HOURS!! I kid you not. I think it was worth it though. I got asked to get it dyed by said hairdressers for a hair competition (long story, is in a previous post) and I was like oh it'll be grand. But after the photoshoot and a long shower I was getting a little apprehensive.
It was:
A. Really, really dry and straw like.
B. Still full of hairspray and other product despite my best efforts.
C. Not doing what the hairdresser effortlessly made it do.
D. Short when I was trying to grow out my hair.
E. My face was looking kinda red without make up and kinda orange with make up.
Suddenly was I wasn't sure if I hadn't made a massive mistake or not. :O
LUCKILY ..... it was just that I had to get used to seeing my face with blonde hair instead of brown. I am beginning to really like it now and I think it could be grunge-d up if I wanted to. I can't wait to get to know it properly XD (if you can get to know your hair properly?)
Thoughts? Suggestions? I will listen to them all!

Before and after pictures are below!

Nails!

Hey guys!

Usually I don't paint my nails because (a) I'm really clumsy and (b) it's takes too long, I get bored and then I smudge my nails :( Earlier this week however, I saw this idea and I decided to try it. It's basically a colourful french manicure. I didn't get the pink tips on very neatly but when I strech my hand out and scrunch my eyes up they looked pretty good. They have lasted well too, mainly because you can repair the pink bit if a mail gets chipped and it's hardly noticeable! Result :)
I would definitely do these again, for an occasion, as I said I'm not a nails kinda gal
Does anyone have any amazing ideas or tips for doing nails that they would like to share?
<3
Yes, those pictures were taken with instagram. I've just downloaded it -is it worth all the hype? Let me know :)
