I am on the hunt for other young bloggers, because I have come up with an idea, which I think will be revolutionary… well, not really, but I think it will help. I am not going to reveal what it is yet, but I do need anyone who thinks they can get involved! You need to be Age 10 – 18, a blogger, passionate about what you blog about, and an all round creative person, and a blogger who doesn’t get more than 150 views a day.

(Sorry for the cheesy picture…) Anyway, you can either Contact me via the Contact page, or email me via [email protected] Either way, it really doesn’t matter, just do it!

If you haven’t seen it all ready, the 2 part film ‘Restless’ from BBC is a must see for you vintage modern films, i.e people like me 🙂 So, I decided to create a post dedicated to the brilliant spy film. So here you go… two outfits and a make-up look… (Images from BBC & Cathal MacIlwayne)

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Fire & Ice £5.00 (Boots), Surreal Skin Mineral Foundation Urban Decay in Hallucination £5.25 (Amazon), Illamasqua Concealer in 200 £13.00 (Illamasqua) & Eye Pencil in Ebony £13.50 (MAC).

The look in the film was very basic, but the lips were perfect. The eyeliner was also very thin, but you could definitely tell there was something there. The hair in the image above is inspired by Kerry Washington, and it only needs a curling wand and a few bobby pins!

Long Sleeve Fit & Flare Dress £35.00 (Oasis), Cream Cat Eye Sunglasses £10.00 (River Island), Metal Tip Satchel £28.00 (ASOS), PRIOR Pointed High Heels £45.00 (ASOS) & Babyliss Curling Wand £19.99 (Superdrug).

This look is really simple to create, and it doesn’t need to much thinking. All you need to do is get the right shapes. The dress needs to be flared, or slightly flowing. The shoes need to be simple, but with a touch of elegance, and the bag needs to either be tiny, or a satchel.

Marsha Dress by Goldie £58.00, July Peep Toe Mid Shoes £48.00, Clean Zip Leather Purse £20.00 & Roller Bowler Hat £26.00 (All from Topshop).

This look is also so easy to create. Simple things like the neckline of the dress you wear, make such a difference in creating that Vintage Vibe. I think Topshop is a great place to create this look because they have Vintage looking things, but they also have a modern touch on them too.

I was browsing around and found this really cute site called Sparkle & Spin, and I have fallen in love! Its quite similar to what I would like to have in my kids brand. But, I would obviously do it differently?! Duh… anyway, I thought I would share it with you! (Images from Sparkle & Spin) The brand is for 2 – 10 year olds, Babies, and generally kids stuff, so a little too small for me, but still really cute!

Stars, Squares, Spots & More – Girls

Okay, a lot of you have probably already seen this, but I just had to add it because I LOVE IT! I love Scarlett Johansson, and I will do a CSC on her soon (hopefully!), and I love her even more in this… (Pictures from ELLE/Rankin)

Rankin has really captured the youth and character of S/S 13 and Scarlett. 2 in 1! I think I may even do an CSC so, watch out! How I would die to have her hair, and her style, and her smile 🙂

I haven’t really done much on NYE as I have been quite busy getting the house ready for the arrival of our family, so I thought I would do a quick one, in which only really needs about 10 minutes to compile! So, it’s an easy thing to do a day before!

Here are a few previews…

CELEBRITY CRUSH : TOM HARDY

This Means War & Batman Star (Plus many more) is my official new celebrity crush. Obviously I wouldn’t want to snog, marry or avoid him, but he is a very good actor, and handsome. One must admit!

Watch out for more NYE stuff tomorrow!

A lot of us are still looking for what to wear, so I decided to create some looks. I’ve used pieces which generally we will have at home, and then a few pieces, like accessories which you can easily go out an grab from the high street a few days before. So here’s number one… Happy Pre-New Year’s Eve!

Scuba Drop Waist Dress £12.00 (Oasis), Patent Toecap Heeled Shoe £50.00 (Oasis), Glitter Bow Belt £9.00 (Accessorize), Brushed Heart Slinky Drop Earrings £4.00 (Accessorize) & Models Own Mirror Ball Top Coat £5.00 (ASOS).

This look is so simple to create! All you have to do is, find a little black dress, which has a really simple cut, it doesn’t have to be anything special. Then go simple on the shoes too, it makes it look more sophisticated, and less OTT because your making sure your equal on the top half, and the bottom. Then for accessories, don’t go loading on all your best jewellery, again go simple. Add simple touches of gold or silver, and make sure they are equal in size, for example these earrings are thin, but have a nice heart detail, and the belt is skinny, and has the bow on the front. This look is all about equalling out. Never add to much, if the dress itself simple. Then on your nails go a bit different. Add a pop of colour to them, plus a bit of sparkle. This Models Own Top Coat is perfect! It adds that bit of fun to your evening!

These seriously, are so soft! The softest thing ever. They aren’t fluffly, but just soft. The grips are handy on the bottom, because if you have slippy floors, you well, obviously, soft!

Rookie Year Book One by Tavi Gevinson

At first I thought this was about blogging, but its not. It’s actually the Rookie Magazine in a collection. I think it’s quite cool though, it’s good for inspiration.

Designing Template Book

This book allows you to draw your designs on different models. It also has loads of interesting links, blogs, etc which you might want to know. It also has special drawings, which disappear when scanned in 🙂

River Island WOW Jumper

YAY! If you saw in my Dear Santa post, I mentioned this. I thought maybe I would get it, and here it is! I am so glad River Island so International delivery, because I miss it so much! I absolutely love it, and it’s quite soft. The sequins give it a Christmassy feel, and big sis, expect this to be worn on your arrival 😉

Les Parisiene Book

This is to improve my French reading, and also it has awesome pictures, and inspirational things it. I really like this!

River Island Black Lace Skater Skirt

This skirt is really nice! I love it! It is a little big, but I am sure a few stitches will do it nicely! No need to send it back!

River Island Top

This is part of the 2 part set with the skirt. It’s quite cool, and I expect I will be able to layer it during these cold months!

LookBook Des Filles

This is a notebook/info book. It has loads of french designers in, and all their backgrounds, and loads of space to write down ideas. Again, a good way for me to improve my reading in French!

In Fashion

This book is literally an A-Z on what you need to know to make it in the Fashion world. It’s pretty cool!

Rimmel London SO LONDON Nail Polish Set

In this set you get the colours > Ready, Aim, Paint (A Red Colour), Rapid Ruby (Deep Red Colour) & Sir, Yes Sir (Purple/Blue Colour). They are all in the 60 Second Dry Collection.

Claire’s Purple Geek Glasses

My old Geek Glasses broke, so my mum got me a nice new purple pair 🙂 These are a little bigger, but I lurve them <3

I did get a few other things, but these are the main ones ^^.

This post is exactly what it says on the tin. It is a stocking for girls who love make-up, beauty and fashion. It is really simple to create, and I have set a budget of £20, so there is still some money left over for the big prezzy! THIS IS FOR LATE SHOPPING ONLY! 😉 4 DAYS TO GO!

Boo Boo Fluff £3.00 (MUA), Gemini Nail Constellation £3.00 (MUA), Naturals Duo Of Tubs Coconut £3.99 (Superdrug), Rimmel London Kate Matte Lipstick £5.49 (ASOS)& Lipsy Bow Stud Earrings £4.50 (ASOS)

It may only be a few things, but they are a great few things! The MUA Nail Fluff has only recently been released, the same as the Nail Constellations, so they may not have it! The lipstick is great (One I also want!) and the earrings are super cute! Also, for a nice bath time treat these Coconut  Wash Tubs are a bargain! So after buying all that you’ll have 1 penny left! Few!
