Just a quick post as I'm procrastinating on my very lazy Sunday. Went out with some friends I haven't seen in a while, it was really fun. We went to Popworld, Django's Riff and ended up in The Krazyhouse, all the while dancing to Spice Girl mixes and batting away boys with suspicious Pokemon hair :')

I've been meaning to post a photo of the Limited Edition Barry M colour nail varnish for a while now; I've only had it a couple of weeks, but it's not left my nails!

Nabbed it in the 2 for £5 deal, it's not a typical Winter colour, but I adore it! It goes on quite a light pink in the first coat, but a second gives it a lovely purple, I think it's quite a delicate colour. Not sure if you can still pick it up, try having a peek in a bigger branch of Boots, I don't think Superdrug stocked it to begin with.

I also nabbed these three the other week, I've tried the Indigo and LOVE it; it's more of a bright blue but with dark purple undertones - perfect for Winter.
I picked up the Strawberry Ice Cream because I've heard good things about it, and also "Wham" which is a light grey, purely because I don't yet own a grey, plus it was £1.99, so I can't really complain if it's crap!

EDIT - Looking deep into my nail varnish drawer, I may have a slight addiction... will post more on this addiction tomorrow.

What colour have you been painting your nails?

This is me trying to show off my new dark hair - I haven't had it this dark for soo long, I love it!
Sorry for the daft photo, my mouth looked funny :')

I'm feeling pretty bad that I haven't posted anything new and exciting for over a week; I blame uni and the joys/stresses of Journalism, I just haven't stopped!
We have two court readings to do in Reading Week, but me and my friends have decided we'd rather do it next Friday, so we can relax in Reading Week instead!
Also, I got myself a job interview on the 2nd November! I'm really happy, especially as I only handed my cv in there on a whim, I'm just hoping the hours available will be flexible enough for me :)

Anyway, It's my birthday on the 1st November, and I'm turning 21! So I may be feeling generous enought o do a little giveaway for you lovely ladies over that week! It will only be something small, but will include my HG items, especially for the Winter :)
I have remembered to take some outfit photos this week, so I actually have some pretty photos for you guys to awh over haha
I've been loving my dark floral dresses this week, so comfy under a cardigan with my chunky boots and socks!

Cardigan - Matalan; Dress, Tights - New Look

I found this after my friend Frannie suggested it on her blog, I love it even though it looks huge on me here, I promise it looks good in person!

I wasn't gonna post again (twice on a Sunday, think I'm crazy) but since I was invited to join Spotify, after pestering my best friend for an invite might I add, I've found new favourite songs by some of my oldest, favourite artists.

Like Imogen Heap, there's a new version of 'Hide and Seek' - the original was recorded with vocalisers and no background music. And while the newer version does have backing vocals and an odd background sound that I can't quite put my finger on. Not to be odd, but it sounds like a noise I recognise from the first Mighty Boosh episode, no?

Anyway, this second version is hauntingly beautiful, I think I prefer it to the original purely because it's just her voice, no digitalising, etc.

So my copy of Diamond Eyes fell onto my door mat this morning.
I love it so much, it's seriously not coming out of my cd player, apart from when I put it on my Ipod.
I need to re-listen to Deftone's previous albums as I haven't listened to them properly since early December; don't ask me why, I'm a fool. However I can safely say that this is my favourite album of theirs.. maybe White Pony is at the same level, but then again I've loved everything they'v done.
You can tell that Chino's vocals are stronger in ths album, whether he's stopped smoking, or found a better way to sing if that's at all possible - the vocals just sound cleaner/they clarity in his voice is 'top notch'.

I noticed the backing vocals sound strange, you can tell it's somebody filling in for Chi. I seriously hope he gets better soon :/

I've listened to the whole album maybe three times while I was getting ready this morning, and about four times since I got home, but Beauty School is my favourite track so far.
The lyrics are beautiful, Chino has to be one of the most intriguing lyricists in the world IMO.

I kinda like you when
When you make up the reel
You take the phone in your room
Stop the tape or resume
Well you could try if you think it will load

I watch you taste it
I see your face
And I know I'm alive
You're shooting stars
From the barrel of your eyes
And it drives me crazy, it drives me wild
