Girl Crush: Leighton Meester/Blair Waldorf

Helloooooooooo blog readers,
Today i'm...............happy because the sun radiates a certain joy into my body let alone with UVA Rays well for me they don't really do anything so shall we say UVB Rays/Burn rays...

Today as i write, i am watching Gossip Girl - to be exact Season 2 Episode 19. OOoh talking about tv, i recently have watched loads of films, tell me if u want like a Movie Review thing cause i have been contemplating that. 

Well whilst watching it and having steaming jealousy rise up in my blood for the beauty and the wits of Serena Van Der Woodsen and Blake Lively or do i mean /blake lively............Well recently i have been looking into Leighton Meester.

Did you know she here career started with adverts for Tamagotchi's and Clearasil? 
how cute was she?

then she had a few roles in random in tv shows and then bam she got acting lead roles in many scary movies. Starring in films such as:
Drive-thru and Killer Movie. 
i've seen drive-thru and i have to admit her acting is pretty admirable. Killer Movie i'm yet to see but seems so good. Coming up she has Monte Carlo coming out featuring Selena Gomez and Katie Cassidy along with herself of course.

Whilst watching Gossip Girl i am a huge fan of Blair Waldorf, Leighton's character. So today's Girl Crush doesn't really feature Leighton as herself but Blair in all her Upper East Side Socialite Glory. She has amazing clothes and beauty on the show, as she should with the biggest budget out of all the girls but i absolutely love her clothes!



I want to try to do a hair tutorial for this one /\ it is so pretty! 



Her style is vintage, expensive and really cute!
If you watch the show you know her hair IS AMAZING! She always has such cute accessories, i found the best picture showing and advancing all her bows and scarves and ribbons and flowers! I



I loved her hair when it was darker and had bright accesories, like that BRILLIENT red bow in the first picture. I love her hair so much! It is perfect. I want to do a few hair tutorials for hair like it, especially the one with the plait and pink fleur!

So now if you were thinking 'i want a bit of a background on Blair' or if your thinking it now, YOUR IN LUCK!
She is describe on wikepedia as ' as a privileged, comically vain overachiever living on New York's Upper East Side
Blair's tendency to overachieve has been noted as a primary difference between herself and her predecessors. While reviewing the series' introduction, Janet Malcolm of The New Yorkerremarked that unlike some of her forerunners, "Blair already has all the money and position anyone could want. She is pure naked striving, restlessly seeking an object, any object, and never knowing when enough is enough." While discussing the collective Gossip Girl characters, she went on to state that Blair's issues made her "both a broader caricature and a more real person than the others."[7
Leighton said that during the casting they asked her to be
'Bitchy and Nice, Ugly and Pretty, Young and Old, Stupid and Smart, Innocent and Slutty, Blonde and Brunette' - quite tricky if you ask me...
Blair is my favourite character...

do you want some information on Leighton?

Topshop Wish List

Hello my amazing followers and readers,

wowie 95 followers. NEARLY 100, i remember the ddays when i was stuck on 41 and 27 but now my blog is becoming..................bigger. And thank you so much for it! It means so much, it practically brings a tear to my eye, i love you all so much.....

Now let's get our beauty ooooooooon. I've been lookin at the topshop website and love a few things, so i shall show them here:

Blue Stripe Seersucker Ruffle Bikini - £28.50 
I think this bikini is really cute, i like the stripes and the ruffles and the horizontal stripes will take the eyes of your body flaws or uncertainties and focus on the ruffle detailing. perfect

Tan 3/4 Sleeve Blouse - £75
odd choice for me but i think it could look really cute with black leggings and black booties. I can even imagine myself wearing it with black leggings, black boots/booties, hair up in a messy pony, slightly bright lipstick, depending on the event either smokey makeup or just my collection 2000 eyeliner and mascara! I love it.

White Broderie Anglaise Zip Front Suntop - £23
I think this is adorable, maybe even with the next skirt. It is adorable, i don't really know how to wear it though? Blue skinny jeans and beige boots. Now i have an idea, my blue A&F jeggings, imaginary cowboy or just beige boots, hair down with curls or even with another messy pony, peachy coral to even pink lipstick with lined eyes (upper lashes) and thick lashes.


 Multi Animal Print Bodycon - £25
I love (!!!) Animal Print just in general and as a skirt i think it is really cute. Maybe with a white or cream vintagey shirt (like the last top) and stilettos if your a heely person with a bright clutch. 
Rose Bud Tilly Top - £28
With high waisted shorts, some bright shoes, neautral makeup i can see myself wearing this! It is totally cute with the floral trend, cropped trend, white trend. If you can find a fault with this write it below, accept i can see one mini-flaw, is it going to be c-through in person?


Shirred Frill Blouse - £32
Vintage, ruffled, long, sheer. AMAZING. i love LOVE LOVE THIS TOP. 


Do you have any FABULOUS finds from topshop recently?

*Heart* Makeup Storage *Heart*

Hello Lovely Jubbly Readers,
As some of you might know i am moving soon, wippidiwoooooo-ish. I'm not superdeduperly excited since i've never moved before and i love my house but there is one plus.....
BIGGER BEDROOM, 
Oh yeeeeeeeeeeee, scoooooooooooooore.
actually i have the biggest bedroom in my house <3 :) :D and any other cute emoticon you can think of. Even though it is not HUUUUUUGE, it is still much bigger then my current room and what shall i fill it with. One word but it can be hyphenated:
MAKEUP!!!!!!
and possibly a bed, but i'm contemplating that. JOKES. i've already posted my curtains for my next bedroom but i shall post them again for all the loooovely new followers:
i love em, the 'black' is actually chocolate brown so i'm hving a brown velvet headboard with silver through cushions and a silver undernet behind the curtains. With all the spare wall space i neeeeeeeeed to have something somewhere so i was planning possibly a writing desk, a vanity/makeup desk and MAKEUP STORAGE. so i thought i shall post a few of my favourites: 

Asda 4 Shelf Storage Cube - £8 
 May i just say THE PRICE. £8. budget breaking, no? sarcasm. I want like 10 of these just for the price but actually i think maximum 4 would be enough, or even just one. It reminds me of what Elle Fowler/allthatglitters21 had with the wall of makeup and she is what kinda inspired this makeup storage ideas. What i would do is buy this, place it on the wall in an appropriate place and paint/beg(pay) my sistem with like baby blue and chocolate flowers, that could look SO CUTE. and i think it would look just so darn cute with some containers containg MAKEUP inside.

Beautyexpress.co.uk's Funky Wall Stand - £29.95
This certainly does break the bank hence why i would buy something like this off amazon or ebay :/ but it just looks so ADORABLE, it holds 60 polishes but u can get one for 90 and i think it just is adorable to put on my wall and there are a few PERFECT places for it, one between my windows but i did have something else planned for that but i'll see. 

Beautyexpress's Polish Stand Stepped Stand - £29.95
 Depending on the amount of nail polishes i have by the time i move, if i have a smaller amount i think these will be the case! Get 2 of these or something for the inner wall box of 4 thing and it is just like Elle's AAAH but again ebay comes in handy :)

containerstore.com's Basic Stack Basket - $5.99 (but does anyone know if it is per basket or a stack)

I love the black and white ones most but they are really cute. They say $5.99 (£3.50?) on the website but not for how many i think it could be per basket which would be sad, but these are such basic staples but if you think cleverly you still need those clear things/compartments to put inside..like these:
The Container Store's Crystal Clear Rectangles:

These can vary from $4.99 to $8.99 but i would need the cheaper/smaller ones, these go inside of plastic baskets to keep everything sectioned and organised and they are really simple and cute

Target's Regular Baskets  with Liners Set of 4 - Honey - $27.99
 I would personally use these more as body stuff basket or nonused makeup products or even bath things!!! But they are tooottally cute

Ryman's Osco Acrylic 3 Drawer Chest - £11.99
These are really good for palettes and other things such as cotton buds/swabs, and variable amount of things. if you've not noticed i am a huge fan of clear containers since i prefer the look of them. This is really useful !!!!!!

Rymans Osco Acrylic 5 Tube Pen Pot - £5.99

i think rymans didn't want to admit to sell beauty storage so they labelled it a pen pot, but isn't it 100% amazing for eyeliners, mascara, lipstick, lipgloss, brushes EVERYTHING POSSIBLE. price is good, nice packaging. what the hell is wrong with it. NOTHING. 

the next product elle fowler actually does have this....
HobbyLobby's Large Glass Champagne Mosaic Bowl - $24.99

 this is soo cute. I want this and store all my lush in it! Couldn't it just be the daintiest thing? SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ADORABLE, it would look so cute just sitting in one of the cubes, smellin oh so gooooooooood and looking adorable. i need it.



Do you have any makeup storage tips/ideas/needs?
now for a small ramble bamble. I'm sick, at home. watching gossip girl and chilling with my older sister whose on study leave. BLARGH................hmmm small ramble bamble but oh well OO AND MEGHAN ROSETTE on youtube (meghanrosette) is having this summerhood, colab.

OOTD AND a Ramble Bamble Baby

Hey lovelies,
May i just start off with a THANK YOU for my increase of followers, it means so much to me that my blog is actually getting somewhere :).

Sooo what have i been up to, whilst watching Fleur De Force on youtube, a friend of mine and one of my favourite beauty guru's and i am planning a Spring/Summer Look Book post which i'm lookin forward to oo and summer exams have been murdering me
, i finished my art end of year/final today and it huuuurt ok i am not amazing at art, let alone good and deffs shutting up so when im stuck in a boring art exam without talking and to draw fml. but i think i did OK. 

I've asked my sister's friend to help/tutor me for my maths exam, well i am in the top group for maths and i am ok at it, i feel like i'm below parr for my group and we have 24 girls in our group and next year it is going to down 18! And i always make my self have like extra pressure for it since my sisters are amazing at it and i'm really worried so i'm getting help :)..
.

i might get someone to help with my french as well, for my Oral and probably some writing. Today my English End Of Year Essay was in need of being handed in.....fml, i have done it. i emailed it through to her this morning but i think it is TERRIBLE.. We had to continue ourselves on from Daphne De Maurier's Frenchman's Creek, ya know the gal who wrote Rebecca. Well we did Rebecca as a practise, woopideewoopwoop so no wonder we got another Maurier book......if your every interested in seeing some of my writing just comment below and i can see what i can do :)

My sister made Rose Cupcakes today whilst i was at school:
rose water cupcakes - they are beautiful :')
(source)
She used a Hummingbird Cupcake Recipe but added Rose Water, made icing and added marshmallows. They ARE DELICIOUS, i love em...They actually taste like rose. Actually i love all rose food i love rose jam
that isn't the exact one though, the one i get is from a French Farmer's Market in the Kings Road, i lllllllllllurve it. My family eat it with croissants and brioche but my favourite is with plain old toast mmmmm well not literally old but you know what i mean...

OOO Another thing i love is Made In Chelsea. my favourite character is Millie, i just love her. I think her hair is gorgeous and she had a micha barton-esque face for some reason but other characters i love are Vanessa, Ollie and of course the queen bee. Caggie! I love how more real it is, well seems more relatable then TOWIE but i think it is just soo cool. It is funny  how we all love TOWIE, or hate it but either way we do make fun of it because i guess it's because we don't realise how REAL it is but MIC is so real.

And my last thing before my ootd is GOSSIP GIRL, i'm completely obsessed. I am going to do my dream me tag and also the born this way tag can't wait but now for my quick ootd:




Top - New Look 
Pink Tank Top - Miriam
Shorts - Forever 21
Hair Flower Band - New Look

(Picture taken in the morning)
Hair was curled using Superdrug Foam Rollers
Makeup:
Collection 2000 Colour Stay Concealer - Fair

Collection 2000 Big Fake Lashes

Summer Loving: New Look becoming My Look

Hola Senorita/s,

Well today is being quite a boring day, its 11am and all i have done is watch 3 episodes of Gossip Girl, have breakfast and sit and stalk my own blog - i'm cool aren't i? ooo and i'm also eating a tiny packet of Haribo Mini Fruities, you know those red and black gummy circle things aka my fave haribo sweet..

Well Sweeties, let's get down to business shopping, last night i was speaking to my Best Friend, Jeanette @ vanilladreamsblush.blogspot.com, her blogs awesome. and we were planning a spending spree even though i kinda need some chachingchaching and then i was scrounging through my purse and found like a stack of 5 New Look Vouchers, how much is on them i have no idea but i do know one has £25 so J and i were looking through NL's website and found some killer items some of which are sporting great trends: 70's, Lace, Crochet, Floral. i thought i shall show you amazing readers, shall we start:

 Apricot Butterfly Blouse - £25
Highneck Pussybow Top - £18.99

Aztec Slinky Vest - £16.99

 I've been loving mesh and crochet tops so here are my two FAVOURITE ones:
Crochet Crop Top - £21.99
Embroidered Mesh Top - £22.99
 Floral Espadrille Shoes - £6.99


 I've been lovin Espedrilles as you can see from the floral ones to the wedge ones, i also want a plain black flat pair but these are just so cute my favourite are the pink and white striped ones but i don't think they suit me so the black striped are so cute and catching my eye:
Leg Tie Espadrille Wedge - £14.99 £10

BUT NOW FOR MY FAVOURITE 3 THINGS, 3 my third favourite leading up to my 1st:

Lace Printed Top - £14.99 
/\ SO CUTE i love grey nd the lace and the dots!!!!!

These beauts are:
Buckled Suede Shoes - £34.99
i am in love, they are formal and smart yet sexy and fun!!!!!! i need these in my life

BUT FOR MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE:
WOWZIES:
Lace Floral Denim Shorts - £19.99
Not only do all three of these go together, maybe if i dressed up my hair so the shoes don't look out of place but i'm literally head over the Buckled Suede Shoes in love with these. Ok now for the story behind them:
as usual Jeanette and I were chillin on skype going online shopping, who said you get bored if you do the same thing everyday?, and she sent me a link saying OMG THESE SHORTS ARE AMAZING LOOK AT THEM, so i did. and wowzies i love em, and surprisingly my mother also likes em oddly enough. they are some SEXAY shorts, not too short, not too tight - sorry boys, nice height if that makes sense. We decided since i always wear my lucky anklet, a baby pink braided one with silver beads, i have another one i'm going to give to jeanette in BRIGHT PINK which suits her personality so well in my view, and then we are both going to get these shorts. AND WE HAVE MATCHING ACCESSORIES FOR THE LEG THEN! Sadly Jeanette doesn't want to wear them at the same time as me, grrrrses (mixture of grrr and curses), i am gonna see what i can do to convince her we should wear them at once hmm any ideas?

But these are everythign i want, have you been loving NL right now? Do you dig Espedrilles?

My Black and White Giveaway, Baby

Hey Cupcakes,
Me again! But today i am here with some big news and a shocking one at that..
If you got by my blog post title, i am:

HOLDING MY FIRST GIVEAWAY!

Yesterday i think i mentioned how i think i will hold a 100 Follower Giveaway but i had this in-the-moment decision since my sister is holding a teeny weenie BarryM Giveaway check it out:
HERE, it looks really good so i even entered it to make her happy but today i was like I will walk down to Superdrug and buy some things for my giveaway and decided i will do one earlier, it is not big but by the time i finished my lil spend up i realised that it was all black and white, well the packagings at least......
So shall we say what i bought the one lucky unknown winner all these lucky goodies:
 As you can see, Black on the Left and White on the Right (rhyme hehehe) and mixture in da middle !

 Sleek IDivine The Primer Palette:
i chose this product from Sleek because it was a palette or a lipstick but not all lipstick suits one so i was choosing between the Original, Sunset, Storm and this and thought well anyone can have these eyeshadows even though i liked all accept the Original which i have previously had and hated it too fallouty and the Storm is the most bought so it was likely people had it and i thought well Primers make everything better and these have a variety of bright highlights: blue, purple and others and then also neutrals which are so pretty, a cream a brown and this is like the most perfect Primer Palette. It is so good and loooks amazing and i spent so much time choosing this.

THE BLACKS:

 Collection 2000 Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner Black:
I to have this and it is my favourite liner and i love it. It is a perfect felt tip liner, lasts all day, doesn't smudge, able to thick or thin line and no air bubbles (like solid black not spaces for air to get through) I LOVE IT, and hopefully you will too...
  BarryM Instant Nail Effects Black
A recent classic, everyone has it - accept for me but thought it would be a smart idea and it looks really good on the nail.

THE WHITES:

BarryM Instant Nail Effects in White
I think this would look much better then the black especially on the tootsies for summer and i just love the idea of a white topping on the nail, like a frosted cupcake!

Collection 2000 Dazzle Me! in Magic 02:
It was out of this and the pure silver, it was inspired to me by a Fleur De Force youtube video, i think it was the Best & Worst Drugstore Concealer and her eyes were just like WOW! I WISH I COULD BUY THOSE, in general she has the most amazing wide eyes but she had this most amazing silver makeup on with insane inner corner colour which was like a pale silver with gold reflects it looked So when i saw this which is a white with gold glitter and silver reflects i thought i had to pick it up and it is practically white so fits in. i love it, i picked it up myself (along with a Collection 2000 Colour Stay lipstick in Sugar Plum). I think it is GREAT. lasts all day, i tested nd the colour just is insatiable on the lid or corner or as a liner on the bottom or top, i'm getting some ideas here...are you?
