You can take the girl out of Tottenham...

Yesterday me and the fam bam had a little road trip up to Oxford to pick my sister up (she goes to the uni there, the little smarty pants). So me being the sort of creative vain girl that I am, I decided to do a mini photoshoot of what I wore today...plus a little bit of scenery. So think of this post as What I Wore Today part drei. 


So in short I'm wearing...


  • My favourite Orlando Magic Basketball Sweatshirt in XL (I think). It was bought from the Adidas Outlet Store in Orlando for $20...one of my favourite places on earth.
  • Ripped skinny jeans from American Eagle in Florida. The holes started of really small. However me being the drama queen that I am, I ripped them beyond belief. 
  • Red Vans from Office.
  • Fishtail earrings from Topshop.
I guess this was the 'I'm a tomboy slob meets I can't leave the house without make-up and jewellery' kind of look'.




I'm not wearing foundation so excuse the state of my skin lol. But my make-up look is pretty much the same as always. Eyebrow pencil, eyeliner, blusher and of course my favourite red lipstick. I tried something different with my hair (a middle parting). I honestly always thought my forehead was too big for one. But just maybe I can pull it off.













My sister thinks that the last two look like I'm trapped in an S&M dungeon. #Oh 

Thanks for reading lovelies!

Instagram. For the vain, artsy b*tches.

Hi guys.

Yes its been a while. Don't blame me, working with kids is EXHAUSTING.

But anyways as you may or may not know I finally got an iPhone 4 on Tuesday (before my crapberry blackberry contract had run out) and one of the first apps I downloaded was 'Instagram'. It's basically an app for taking and sharing photo's. But the thing that makes it kind of different is the fact that you can have different 'washes' over your photograph which changes the impact of said photo.

Here's one I did earlier (Blue Peter voice):

This is the BEFORE picture:



So erm...nothing special. Just me posing before work by the kitchen door (as you do). The lightings not too great and everything looks kind of orange/yellow.

Now for the AFTER photograph:


So it makes the photo look kind of 'old school', it's very artsy. And like the title suggests aswel as being 'artsy' I'm also extremely vain. So what I love about this is that its a not so obvious photoshop. Somehow I manage to look a little bit better, it changes the shade of my red lipstick, my skin looks  less shiny and even my forehead looks smaller. Ok, now I'm just making things up lol.

Here are a few more examples of how Instagram can make even the most average houseplant look like art.

Tottenham pavement.


Only houseplant I haven't killed.


Haven't used this since ALevel Art, 2008 lol


Doesn't it give my laptop that 1970s glow? lol

Oh yeah. Did I mention that it's free?

Available on iPhone, Android and crapberry
