The Lavender Fawn: glitter

Showing posts with label glitter. Show all posts

Hello 2014

I've tried to not buy much after Christmas because I splurged on gift buying. So far I've not done too badly but some stuff has sneaked through onto my bank balance, above as pictured are some of the things I couldn't resist.

- Iconemesis is a wonderful little online shop for your much needed iPhone case covers. They work with independent artists to produce these truly lovely and unique accessories for your mobile. Artists such as Sarah King, Cat Sims and Fifi Lapin all feature in the designs available. I couldn't resist the sale online at the moment and got my hands on the Fifi featured above, being a fashion design student seemed appropriate in a way and its so cute.

- Deborah Lippmann should win an award for making nail paint look so yummy, this leading to worry that maybe I will start biting my nails more as a result of purchasing her "I'm not edible" polish despite the name acting as a deterrent for such actions. I found it online at a reduced price and at the time was torn between this one and the Illamasqua "Scarce" which is similar for the flecks in the paint but more of a nude colour than lilac

- Delilah Dust is where everyone should go for gorgeous pieces of jewellery, handcrafted and individually made and packaged for the customer, the shop sells beautiful Rings, Necklaces, top finger rings, bracelets and even iPhone cases too! A lot of the items are made with rocks such as Amethyst, Agate & Crystal Quartz. The pieces really are gorgeous and I couldn't resist the Druzy Fuchsia ring with the edged silver ring, the colour is amazing.

I'd like to say for the sake of saving money this was everything I've ended up buying in sales this month but unfortunately i'd be lying. I've had the second few hours of my tattoo done it's still yet to be coloured in, I go to an amazing guy in Chester city centre who I've been going to for almost a year now and his work is immaculate. Check him out here. On the ASOS sale I found a lovely Paul and Joe make up bag I NEEDED and have had a few lovely items from Crown and Glory, which I will post about soon enough separately :3

Best Wishes,

Christmas Haul 2013

Merry Christmas 2013 everyone, hope lots of lovely things were delivered Christmas morning for you all :3
I really had a lovely Christmas, my favourite part being buying the gifts for everyone, I love spending the time debating the best stocking fillers, cards and ribbon and am pleased to say everyone was happy with their presses on Xmas morning! So now I want to jump on somewhat of a bandwagon with the Christmas haul posts and share with you a few things purchased and some things I got for Christmas in this post.

1. Smashbox. My mum got me a set of three primers from them, I've been meaning to invest in a new primer since my Laura Mercier one ran out a few months ago, they make such a difference and your skin is incredibly soft after. The set consisted of a hydrating, photo finish and "luminizing" miniature trio. I've used all three and found the photo finish is my favourite and the most sleek. I'd definatly recommend smash box the products are lovely and last all day!

2. Bleach London hair products. I've never used Bleach products before, I saw them on a 3for2 at Boot's and thought I'd stock up. The white toner and silver conditioner are always going to be good for me and regularly used as I always keep on top of a brassy free Blonde when my pink hair fades. The Rose dye is semi permanent as they usually are, I'm very curious to see the colour result and will write a post when I have done so!

3. Sugar skull mug. My Boyfriend got me this and I love him even more for it! it's been sitting on my wish list for months, I'm using it as a pen pot out of fear of smashing it!

4. Pink glitter hard iPhone case/ Topshop. I got this after needing something to hold simply my iPhone and my credit card it's durable, tough, only £15 and covered in glittering sequins, need I say anymore?

5. Lush light star bath melt. Soak in glitter.

6. Red or Dead pink glittered heels. Again from my boyfriend, love at first sight, these bad boys are for special occasions

7. White rabbit vintage fabric purse. Christmas present don't know where it was bought from but I love the print and the fabric and its big enough to carry your change and your lipstick in !

Skulls and Roses

Hey guys! Im back after months of being a non-blogger! I've been very busy with work and education and life in general really. Firstly, I want to start off by wishing every lovely reader a blissful 2014 ahead of them! So far my year has started well, -fingers crossed.

I've joined a gym and spa I'd been eyeing up for several months and finally found the motivation to get on it, so far not been that much due to my hours and trying to sort out a portfolio for uni application; which if anyone knows anything about please can you give me some little tips! :3

Right, so the banner above is just depicting some little thing's that I've been having fun with recently, my hair, as many of you already know is constantly changing and but I have finally settled (for now!) with a baby pink and lilac composition, inspired by my little ponies and a love for french macaroons, the picture of my above, although not very clear you can just about make out the stud in my nose! I got it pierced spontaneously whilst out with my best friend and I actually love how it looks :) The happy face of a cat with a crown in my new oversized top from Batoko which I loveee and looks great with my tattoo and glittery rip of converse. Last but not least is my gameboy pink :) been playing a lot of Pokemon recently since my boyfriend reintroduced me to the whole wondrous thing and now I'm addicted and devoted to levelling my Vulpix :)

My tattoo, an idea originally found on pinterest and I fell in love with it not usually into skulls but thought this design was so beautiful. My forth tattoo now and I was planning on not having anymore till I was twenty-five- that didn't work out! To co-inside with my latest inky addition I've been indulging at the fabulous Black Milk online store, firstly this Galaxy dress below, for me it's the most BM defining dress and the print is gorgeous the fits of their clothing show every curve and bump and do wonders for a push up bra!

With joining this gym of mine I figured I needed a new swimsuit to mark the occasion and couldn't resist the Pegasus limited swimsuit and optional bodysuit. Any of you guys loving black milk and got any of their latest prints? Would love your comments on my new tatt girlies! xx

Let me eat cake

Hey there, above is a little collection of the photo's floating on my desktop screen at the moment. It's official I've gone back to Pink hair, the pot said lavender and the colour I do recall being much darker, but hey-ho, it's baby soft pink :) my extensions also have gotten the full treatment too, so I'm working a full back length of bubblegum pink! The other picture's refer to my other colours I've had only since May! :) I know.. how do I have any left? but it's all in the Argon Oil Guys and Dolls! :)

As the name suggest's my current "re-obsession" is Marie Antoinette, considering the fate of this queen was very tragic, Sofia Coppola give's us a sweet taste and insight into the alternatively modern Kirstin Dunst adaption of the role. An ideal life for a lover of fine fabrics, beautiful clothing, wonderful food and a wide and varied collection of exquisitely made Manolo Blahnik's. Heaven, no? The Picture's above show some "pin's" of Antoinette inspired footwear and hosiery. I really want someone to have a party soon so I can dress up as the pink haired version of Marie and wear my favourite glittery heels and powder myself up pale with ribbons and sequins! (: I'm thinking of doing this for my 21st in September I think it would be amazing! Macaroons provided with champagne flutes and edible glitter covered truffles. I think i'm on to something here..
