FLYING SAUCER

pink or blue, nothing inbetween!

TS floral corset and trews, Monki lace top, eBay and Office shoes

I did a teensy bit of shopping on Monday, as in I went absolutely everywhere. My thinking was that in order to avoid going past the library during these sorry revision times I should just exhaust the high street, thus resist the urge to check out what's in the shops for at least a few weeks! I'm not normally much of a sale shopper but I got some Office sale shoes, the ones with the laces above, and a skirt in the Topshop sale as well as these trousers. I also got a cheapie Primark/Primarni dress too and had the same problem- blue or pink?! See you might remember the lovely pink trousers H&M brought out that I snapped up straight away in that great neon pink. But in the end they were high waisted but didn't fit on the waist, so they were just baggy, and also had huge pockets at the back which were no so flattering. So at £30 I was OK with returning them, and just so happened to come across these tapered pairs in the TS sale. I tried on ten things in a mad 10am spree while the shop was nice and empty and couldn't decide between the trews.

Theblue are actually smaller than the pink but they both fit fine and are infact really, really long but I like them rolled up. See I'm in a pink craze at the moment but somehow the bright blue called to me and so I just bought them both but still can't decide! Please help, dearest readers!It took me about a million years to find how to actually make a poll! As I was shopping I bought loads of nick nacks like Paperchase stickers from their 25p sale and revision notebooks and hair bands so had my arms full of bags, and maybe it was the time of day but people were giving me some strange looks! I was struggling a bit though, maybe it looked like a sad Confessions of a Shopaholic scene, the only good thing in that film being Isla's hair. Ahh also I was street style spotted! Not for a blog but still it's the first time anyone's ever asked to take my picture, especially as when I trawl round the Arndale I look like a bit of a lost street urchin, but I think it was because I was wearing flowery tights, I got quite a few strange looks which is pretty sad when they're only from Topshop! The pic was for here and I look super cheesy! By the way the trousers were both reduced to £15, but I can only keep one pair!

Also here's a video announcing the winners of the Love Hearts and Crosses Competition! Can you tell I am going a bit loony from all this work. I just did a group project for ten hours.

lash domination

I have an official fake eyelash obsession. It's come to the point where I feels wrong going out without them. I wrote a post hereabout how to put them on and how you can buy reeeally cheap pairs if you get decent glue. But I have to tell all of you that you must buy some Girls Aloud lashes! The concert was amaaazing! We were really high up but I just spent the whole time being like 'omg that's actually Cheryl Cole down there!' DON'T read on if you are going to see them........but the best part was when they were all on this raised platform and then it suddenly started moving across the crowd and traveled right to the other end of the seats on the floor where they got on a mini stage and did a few songs there. Also they sang Womanizer, ohh it was fab! A lot of people just sat all the way through though but we danced even in the support acts. I wore the purple AA u-neck dress which eeer is always a bit eventful! It's the junk in the trunk, some random poster seller believed I was a quarter Jamaican and I got us free posters?! He was Jamaican himself too?

Anyway it was really great, they all sang live and it was so worth it. I bought some Girls Aloud eyelashes as soon as they came out, deciding on Cheryl and Nadine and Nicola's because they flick out at the ends. I've worn Nicola's and Nadine's so far and my friends have worn some of the others and I can totally say that they are REALLY good lashes. They're great quality and don't look as much in the box but these are LONG! Nicola's are really wide and full, I'm definitely stocking up! Eyelashes really make the different with your makeup, they take practice but once you try then you won't go back! My best advice is to actually wait at leeeast 30 seconds for the glue to try, use a hair grip or cotton bud to put on a thing line rather than pile on the glue, and once you place them on your own lashes, leave them to stick for a few seconds before re-adjusting. I use MAC glue and generally buy Poundland lashes. although I wore them to a club called Snobs in easter and saw a guy I met on my birthday and he said 'you're so much prettier than you were before!', I was like 'gee thanks?!' honestly, some boys just don't have a clue!

As you can see the lash collection is getting a liiiittle out of control. And I wasn't going to but here are some fb photos of us on the night, where we took advantage of wearing our tartiest, sparkliest stuff basically! And met a very tall fire eating man.

Didn't anyone tell you N? Be careful what you wish for

Prepare for the extreme in barbie-ness. Things have reached a whole new level, supported by the fact that I caaan't really type right about now. I got some hideously fabulous pink nails! Here's a photo just to show exactly how much of a nail biter I was before, I've never had long nails for my whole entire life. Once last year I managed to grow a few but that's where it ends, and especially my grandma has always nagged me to stop but it's impossible! Tried everything.

So I've been thinking about trying gel nails for ages and on Thursday just happened to notice that some had managed to grow a teeny bit. Now or never! I went to a little place in Withington and probably showed them the shortest nails they've ever seen but the lady was fantastic and really precise and I chose the hottest pink they had of course! I don't know what I've been missing all these years, having bright nails is awesome! I mean awesome in a totally rich-girl 90210-esque way, which by the way is the funniest programme ever, my friends and I call each other bitchlips non-stop, who writes those lines?! Yeah OK I only watched one episode... but anyway it is super fab to have hot pink around you all the time. I got them cut down really short but I still can't do any zips, makeup, buttons, chopping or hairstyling. My the way I know they are amazingly tacky but that's the attraction!

I'll have to get them off before exams though as there's no way I can scrawl an essay! I've done three presentations this week so only have one to go. It's for market research and my friend and I have spent way too many days going round the food court in the Arndale asking people to do questionnaires; not the funnest thing in the world! I'm on a train right now typing this as I'm going home for a friend's birthday at Subculture (groan). They just rang me asking to bring rave paint, oh god.  Ohhh and I just watched Twilight, like the teen girl that I am soon not to be, and thought it was pretty shoddy like the book BUT Edward fan club here I come! Without a doubt, top of the hottest guy list right now (still Bass love though!).
