Busy busy

Sorry for the lack of posts.
This is what I have been busy with this week, had to do 32 illustrations, but not finished with them yet.
Went into uni today, scanned them in and now have to work on them on Photoshop and Illustrator.
Then I have to do another 32 Garment Specification drawings.
 Aaaahh!!!!


I used templates for the bodies and designed on top of them. 
Don't have time to worry, whether the thighs were the same width, and I can't draw limbs to save my life, even with the help of templates.

Parking Fine and Italian Dining

Had a bit of an annoying day yesterday. I was going to pay for parking, because of the time I was working I had to pay for all day parking, which is £4.50, but I totally forgot that it was that amount and I put in £4.00 instead.

Just writing this is getting me angry again.

I was calmly sitting in my car eating my Greggs Jam Doughnut and I see the parking fine plastered on my window screen. I was just like "Oh for godness sakes", but wasn't that angry yet, because I thought it was going to be £30, but no it was £75, my parking ticket had run out, while I was still at work.

My whole mood was ruined. I had such a face on.
I was mainly angry at myself for not putting in that 50p. Just because I forgot to add another 50p I know have to pay £75. I'm contemplating appealing, but the fine has to be paid within 7 days, and don't know if it will be sorted within that space of time.

My mum is going to have a right go at me. If you have Nigerian parents you'll understand. 
"It is your fault"
So, I'll just wait until she reads it on here.

In the evening I was supposed to go out for a meal with the work girls, but I was in such a mood, that I didn't know whether I would enjoy myself.
Glad I did now, it was nice distraction.

We went to an Italian Restaurant called Prezzo.




The girl on the left is Sofia, she is on my course in the year above me.
It was great speaking to someone who knew exactly what I was going through, and she gave me some helpful advice.
She's a blogger as well, and very opinionated that.





I've always seen pana cotta on like cooking shows, but never liked the look of it. 
Kind of reminded me of jelly, and hate the texture of jelly.
So I tried some of my friend and it was beautiful, especially with the sauce.
Mmmm...just thinking about the taste now.


Sorry about the blurry pictures, having camera problems

No title


Jacket: H&M
Dress: New Look


Dress: New Look

This dress is similar to the ASOS dress I received last week, in that it is like a Bodysuit, I was doing some serious sucking in of the stomach area.

Uni is really stressing me out, every time I think of what I still need to do, I get all hot and bothered and feel like I'm going to faint.

Just wanted to say a thank you to all my new followers, and not forgetting my old followers.
Thanks for your kind comments, much appreciated.
If you have any questions regarding fashion, my uni course, anything you want to ask me just comment below and I'll try to ask them all.

 Went to go see the King's Speech today, the movie was emotional in so many levels if I wasn't laughing, I was smiling, if I wasn't smiling I was close to tears.

What a beaut

Just wanted to point out how absolutely gorgeous Scarlett Johansson looks in Mango's Spring/Summer 2011 ad campaign. Loving the edgy make-up on here and the bob really suits her.The photography is just as beautiful as her, something retro about it.

Asos purchases




After I saw these on Patricia from BritPopPrincess' recent video, I had to get them, they looked so gorgeous on her.

Asos had free next day delivery on Thursday, so didn't see why not.

Had a bit of a rant on twitter today, because my delivery never showed up. Not knowing that it was in the backyard all that time. Royal Mail were very apologetic, so felt a bit bad about the rant : p

I got the skirt in a size 8, because I like things to be fitted on my waist, and because it was stretchy I thought I could still get away with it, if it was too small.
But no, it isn't stretchy at all, after struggling to get it past my hips and non existent backside it was fine.

As for the dress it is like a bodysuit, showing every single detail of your body and underwear.
Definitely need to get some seamless underwear and hit the gym before I wear this one.
Until Summer.

Double Denim


 Shirt: Warehouse
Jacket: Zara


Jeggings: H&M

Had such a bad day today.
Went to the library after my tutorial set to do all the work that needs doing for one of my major projects.
I was working in the library for two hours straight, went to save my work after I finished and as it was saving the programme I was using crashed.
I was just speechless and fighting not to let the tears out.
The thought of having to do the work all over again is so frustrating, I could actually kill someone.

I hate technology and it sure hates me back.

Fashion Buys

Why is it when you have money, you can hardly ever find anything to buy?
The things that you longed for before, have no appeal to you any more.


Jacket: Zara

I have finally bought a new leather jacket, I'm sure you lot are sick of seeing the other one, but I still love it.


Shorts: H&M

Untitled


Jacket: H&M
Vest: H&M


Shorts: Primark
Boots: H&M

I don't know if you can tell, but I'm wearing the 17 nail polish today, and I'm not impressed.
It doesn't apply even at all, and the more I put on the worse it looked. Good thing I didn't pay for it.



Style Crush: Kate Bosworth

I admire Kate Bosworth' simple and minimalistic look, and you can't ever go wrong with that.
She is so pretty as well, she's got such gorgeous features.

Smize!

I was watching America's Next Top Model, while I was getting ready, so tried to get my Tyra on, when taking today's outfit post.







Jumper: H&M
Shorts: Topshop
Boots: H&M


Love this jacket, which is why you've seen it in like 80% of my outfit post.
Going to look for a cheap one this week so I can alternate.
I do have another, that you have seen before, but it's more of a bomber style, but I prefer the biker style.
I have seen quilted styles, which I quite like, in Zara and H&M.
So going to look out for those this week.
Have you seen any cheap leather jackets recently, that I might like?

Buys and Give-away winner


I was after a cheap nude lipstick, so decided to look for a drugstore lipstick. I went to boots,looked at  Rimmel and their nudes, but they were to shimmery for my liking and they did not have Nude Delight. I then decided to look at 17. I always look at store own brand names as cheap and of a lower quality, but I was quite impressed with the colours. As boots was doing 2 for 3, I decided to pick up two lipsticks and got the third product, a nail polish for free. Forgot to take a picture of it, it's called Orange Soda
Once I bought it the nude lipstick I tried it on immediately and was so impressed with the texture, it's so smooth and moisturising on the lips that I must have applied it like 15 times during the day, because of the way it felt on my lips.
The nude colour is called Chocolate Suede and the lipstick to the left Berry Silk.
I'm definitely going to use 17 for lipsticks again.

Wearing 17- Suede Chocolate
For those who asked:
Hair length 20, 18, 16, 14
Invisible Parting
One of my followers asked to see my hair straight, so decided to use the John Frieda Frizze Ease Hair Serum, to give me a sleeker look.
Anyone who has extensions or frizzy hair, get this product.
The ends of my hair has been so dry, due to the heat I put on it, but after I used this product it was as if I just had my hair done. Definitely impressed.

Soooo to my give-away winner, drum roll please.................

Thanks everyone for taking part, will do another give-away once I reach 500 followers, hopefully it will be big.
Thank you for following, reading my blog posts and commenting.
Much appreciated...x
