(Dont know what face Joes trying to pull?)

We went to Joes over the weekend and celebrated his grampys 88th birthday with his dads side of the family. This was a quick snap we got before we left. I ended up getting my new glasses after all the chaos (hooray!) so now i can see properly again!

Not much planned for this week. Dissertation work really. Managed to get about 600 words written on the drive upto Joes on friday, so quite happy about that, then another 400 or so later that night. I seem to know more of what im doing now, which is good.

Off home on Wednesday for my sisters birthday. I had no idea what to get her, so shes got some dvds, traveling book and traveling journal heading her way. (Athough im sure she doesn't need the book - she's a travel agent)

Thinking of applying for jobs for when uni is finished. I've mentioned it before, but even though i (will have) a degree in graphic design, i dont want to do that when i finish. I like the idea of staying in design work, or visual work atl east, so im going to search the internet. For a job over the summer though, ill try and find anything really. 

Oh! and for anyone that wants to know (or cares?) Im on series 4 of The (American) Office. I think i get about a disc a night watched. Pretty sad, but im addicted. I only have up to series 4 though, and i think there are 6 series, so i need to get my hands on them and i cant remember seeing them on amazon? Anyone know where to get them (UK region) merci beaucoup

Anyone have any good american sitcoms to watch when ive finished series 4?

(i havnt seen any of s4 of gossip girl, so thats on my list of things to pre order)

Line Up, Line Up

Not the best photo, but heres a little look at a design i done on my nails a few days ago. Its a bit worn now but perfect for something simple yet eye-catching.

Base Colour- Nude Beige by Models Own

Stripes - Liquid Eyeliner (i used ELF's)

Have you tried anything similar to this?

So delayed! Im so so so sorry to everyone thats a regular reader. I really can't believe how quickly these past 2 weeks (especially) have gone.


Firstly, thank you everyone for sticking with me while ive been on a go-slow blogging. Ive got some posts planned for the next few days, so hopefully ill get back in to the swing of things again.


I ordered some new glasses the other day that were apparently due to turn up today, but after about 5 phone calls to various specsavers (oxford, cheltenham and head office) we finally tracked them down. Im off to the boyf's this weekend, so they're now being sent special order to his house, so ill hopefully be getting them tomorrow. One pair is black the other is dark purple. not sure how im going to feel about them after i see them. It will be interesting..


Dissertation deadline is in just over 2 weeks, and my teachers decided it would be a great idea to make us hand a project in on the same day. how lovely of them. So thats so much more stress to worry about. Then our year long project is due in april. Im getting so stressed, i cant wait to graduate. I think someone in my class worked out we have about 14 weeks left, then thats our 3 years over. Scary stuff!!


I went out with some friends on Wednesday in what feels like such a long time. It was lovely being out with (some of) the gang again. We made an alcohol bin which consisted of various spirits and various juices all mixed together. Basically just a big bin of punch! lol. Im sure some photos will be up soon! :)


Tried some nail designs last night, ill take some photos and post them later tonight. Nothing special as im definitely not ambidextrous so my right hand is definitely a bodge job  but never mind.


Ill leave you with a little picture that i actually love. (sad i know)  If you don't get it, comment below and ill happily explain it. :)

I cant link the original source because my friend sent it to me, but if you know it, please let me know. :)

Steph Loves: Asos Dresses

With the weather on the turn into Spring, everyone is starting to get excited at the concept of new colours, patterns and textures. I love dresses, but don't tend to wear them that often. On a recent search for a nice dress, i came across these ASOS beauties. All under £50!

As a day dress, i would especially wear the peter pan collared Pleated skirt cure collar dress (also available in blue) as its gorgeous and only £25! 

I especially love the Pleated Swing One Sleeve Dress for the evenings. Its belt-up, flowwyness (is that a word?) just screams girlie nights out in the spring/summer with a gorgeous pair of shoes and bag.

Have you spotted any gorgeous dresses recently? What are your top ASOS picks?

Batiste Tones

Here are the 3 new tones Batiste have recently released "with a hint of colour"

l-r:

Light and blonde hair

Medium and brunette hair

dark and deep brown hair

I think the new tone range is such a good idea. As someone with dark hair (and now even darker) its so good to be able to use dry shampoo and not have so much white to try and get rid of. Obviously, there is still some white powder along with the colour, but its much eaiser to blend in to your natural hair colour than it has been before. 

Here are some photos of the 3 colours sprayed onto my hand..

As you can see they still do have a bit of the white powder to them, but they are much better for people with coloured hair, especially darker colours.

I think the only problem i have with them is that they are only available in the 3 colours. There should definitely be one for redheads. Maybe that will be the next thing they introduce?

Have you seen these? Would you buy the coloured ones over the original?

Batiste Tones is available now for £3.05

Blush Me!

When i saw the MeMeMe box blushers in Superdrug at the weekend, i knew i had to pick one up. Ive heard so many good reviews on them, alot of people are saying how they are comparable to the Benefit box's but for a fraction of the price. 

I bought the colour Rouge, which is the redest colour you can currently buy (although the poor lighting makes it look pink)

The packaging is sturdy cardboard, with a mirror, tray and brush.

The pigmentation is pretty good, its quite a buildable colour

MeMeMe also do 3 other colours - Bronze, coral and Pink.

The Blush Me's are definitley worth picking up.

Avaliable in Superdrug or Online and retail for £8.50
