A Week in Photographs #9

Sunday, February 10, 2013
Blue sky // Snow // Snow 
New mascara and polish // Ciate 'my fair lady' // Loreal 402
DP jeans // Forever 21 Jumper // Ciate 'my fair lady'
My week has consisted of university work, new beauty finds, snow and arm knitting! This week has been a bit strange - firstly, some of my modules at uni have finished so I will now be spending most of my time at home doing my essays and dissertation (yey, sarcasm). Also university was closed for a day this week because of the snow! So with all of my uni work, reviews and blog posts to do, what did I spend my time doing...sorting out other peoples birthday presents, shopping and painting my nails! I have been loving the Ciate 'my fair lady' polish but the highlight polish of the week has to be the Loreal Colour Riche Polish in the shade '402' - the formula of this polish is incredible, I have to get more! The last photographs show one of my outfits this week (Monday or Tuesday I think) which I went out in the snow in. The jumper is really nice and warm but it is really heavy! And today, I went to my aunties, after an eye test, and a saw an image of pinterest about 'arm knitting' so I tried it at my aunties (she is amazing at any form of knitting!) and it is safe to say I am not very good at knitting but arm knitting was quite interesting! Anyway that was my week, hope you all had a great week!

Snow Day & New Boohoo Dress!

Tuesday, February 05, 2013
This morning I awoke to a thin blanket of snow! I love the look of snow when it is on the ground and when it is falling but it is a pain to travel in but thankfully I have a few days off from uni anyway to do some work (coughs). So I thought I would take some pictures of my new dress (it arrived today) from Boohoo!

Here is the dress that I bought! It is the Heidi Slub Marl Skater Dress in the colour 'Charcoal' and I bought a UK size 8 which fits really well. This dress was £15.99 with VAT which I think is a really good price. I have wanted a plain, short, dark grey skater dress for a while and finally I have found it!
The dress is a really smooth, soft comfy material and it feels really nice and cosy. The dress isn't very thick so I was freezing when these photographs were being taken - and it was snowing while the pictures were being taken! The dress is dark grey but it is speckled, so it has flecks of creamy white in the material which I love!
I added a belt with the dress even though it is fitted and cinched in around the waist. The belt is from New Look (ages ago) and the tights are really thick and soft and I think they were from Primark (again, ages ago). The black heels are from pretty-small-shoes.com which specialise in small women's shoes so UK size 1-3. I love the heels they are so cute and comfy!
