People always compare how long it takes them to get ready and it seems it's a male against female argument sometimes. We often plan a time to pre-drink but the guys have to wait least half an hour while we change shoes and pack bags. I enjoy getting ready to go out almost as much as actually going because of the possibilities! I'm trying to decide on what to a wear tonight and thinking about makeup. I love these pictures of Lily Cole yet don't know where they came from so if anyone can shed any light it would be appreciated! It takes me about half an hour to do full makeup, leaving time for any mishaps or mascara-brush-in-the-eye moments! I set my camera to take photos every half a minute last night and did set the post to publish at ten but it didn't work... my drunken mistake?! I can kind of see the difference with dark circles/skin tone at the end so I'm glad it's worth bothering! It also produced some down right funny photos. You can kind of see my new sailor-ish dress too.
You look a little like her!
Cute photos, I love getting ready too. Once I am out I am usually just waiting for change into my pj's!

hehe, I do sometimes find getting ready a more enjoyable experience that actually going out, and you look very nice indeed!

Teehee - great post! It's always interesting to see other peoples' little rituals. Might have a go myself - try and see how much of a difference I am making lol. My room mate always fails to notice / understand my 'does my make up look ok' questions, as she says she doesn't see any difference so maybe it's time to see if it's a) true, there's no difference or b) the lighting in our rooms - :-D
Keep up the good work! Drunken mishaps are always the most excusable!

love this post! the idea of taking pictures every 30 seconds is great. and you look really cute.
Posted by: anna | June 05, 2008 at 10:06 PM
Great idea!
Posted by: WendyB | June 05, 2008 at 10:32 PM
really good idea, love the 30 sec shots. they each look like a make up ad.

That was such a sweet idea for getting ready, you look fab in them pictures!
I also love the pictures of Lily Cole, don't think it was in that certain December Vogue though. It looks more like a jewellery shoot.

I adore Lily Cole with all of my heart. True fact. I was forced to save those pictures of her, because she is just too damn cute!
And you are too! I absolutely ADORE your hair! (I can't sing it enough praises, I'm sure you'll hear me say this again, haha)

great entry! i love the collage in the background. both you and lily look lovely in these photos.
Posted by: Terren | June 06, 2008 at 06:32 AM
I remember seeing that Lily Cole ed somewhere but can't remember for the life of me where exactly :P
I love getting ready to go out, especially the make-up part! Love your photos, you are too cute :)

I think it was Vogue, but I have a nasty feeling I've thrown that copy out for recycling. Getting dressed up and ready to go is definitely one of my favourite parts and it's just as fun! I will be doing that tonight for my summer ball yay!

Great pictures =]

i don't wear make-up, but now that I know it's a way to have an early cocktail, I just might start
Posted by: heather | June 06, 2008 at 03:13 PM

you look amazing! and i love the lily cole photos.
Posted by: Steph | June 06, 2008 at 05:58 PM
I love how you do your make up. What do you use? And where do you get your foundation and concealer?
I'm also pale with reddish hair and trying to find foundatio and concealer colours that match my complexion is a nightmare :(
Posted by: L | June 06, 2008 at 06:49 PM
L- I use Maybelline mineral foundation in ivory and benefit lemon aid as concealer
