On my last post I said I would answer some questions, so here I go! I also got alot more questions via email then I expected, I'm guessing I have alot more anonymous readers than I first thought!:
I'd like to ask what you do for a living or are you a student?
I don't currently have a job (I probably should have one) so I have to rely on ebay sales as my source of income. And yes, I am currently a student :)
What do you want to be when you're older?
Good question! I really want to go into fashion journalism I guess, but anything to do with styling and promotion sounds good too. To be honest I'm not 100% sure.. it was only this year that I decided I wanted to do fashion. Before that I was focused on being academic and then I finally realised that I'm definitely a more creative person, and it doesn't make me any less intelligent for wanting to go into fashion. But yes, anything to do with fashion I guess! Although I do get scared about the whole materialistic side that fashion brings sometimes, but I think it's the creatvie side of it that I would enjoy the most.
Im so jealous of your fabulously long hair, how long did it take to grow?
Haha, thankyou! To be honest I haven't had my hair cut for around 3 years. I don't get it trimmed because my hair is very fickle.. if I get it properly trimmed it will go all flicky naturally, and then I'll have to straighten it everyday. Because I haven't had it trimmed my hair is quite naturally wavy, but it settles quite straight and doesn't get all flicky and annoying. I don't recommend that, but thats just what my hair is like! I chop off the split ends myself.
If you could only use three makeup products for the rest of your life, what would they be?
Argh, okay..I would say my liquid foundation (not a fan of the powder stuff) which is Mac studio sculpt in Nc44, my favourite mascara, maybelline colossal and errrm... I'm not sure which else? Oh and my concealer, trick & treatment by soap and glory. That's pretty much all I wear on a regular basis anyway haha!
Your eyelashes are really long, what mascaras do you use?
I usually use just two. A fat brush for the top lashes and a plastic wand for the bottom. Currently it is colossal mascara on the top and max factor lash extension effect on the bottom. But I do switch it up from time to time, I am not too fussed about mascaras as most are fine for me!
What are your top tips for finding stuff at carboots? (I can't find anything like you do!!)
I will do a big fat post on this, tips, my advice etc. I promise, it's on my to do list haha, so look out for that :)
Biggest fashion no-no?
UGGS. But I think I speak for everyone when I say that. I also really dislike tassles, furry coats and animal prints, but thats just my personal taste. I think it looks good sometimes but very rarely!
How do you keep your hair so healthy and nice looking?
Like above, pretty much explained that I don't really look after my hair. But I will go through my hair routine when it's damp, which is what I reckon keeps my hair looking not so damaged (even though it really is!)
I use ego boost split end mender by bedhead on the ends of my hair, Bedhead superstar serum on the crown of my head, beadhead thickening spray spray all over. Occasionally I'll change the bedhead serum for my tigi catwalk thickening mousse, just depends on whats handy first. I also use Tressemme heat defence then blowdry (I don't always blowdry throghout, but focus majorly on my crown and fringe. I sometimes leave the ends to dry naturally)
THEN, When properly styling, I use aussie heat defence if I am straightening or curling my hair, which I don't do everyday. Finally, my hairspray of choice is the aussie volume and gloss (definitely my favourite hairspray, smells amazing and makes my hair actually look volumized!) I have quite thick/long hair so I use quite alot of product and they don't make my hair heavy, but more texturized so it's easier to style.
Do you have a boyfriend, sorry if this is too personal!
Nah don't worry, no I don't and I am very much happily single!
You talk about your sisters alot, are you the oldest?
I have an older sister who is 23 and a younger sister who is 12. I am infact the middle child!
Whats the most out-there thing you've ever worn?
Haha, What I wore to see lady gaga by faaaar:
.
But I mean it was to see Lady GaGa so it was okay. I do love the bustier top, shame I haven't really got anywhere else I can wear it to though!
What are your boundaries when it comes to fashion? What items would you definitely never wear?
This is a toughie. The last question I showed you my gaga outfit which was quite showy and kinda slutty, but I think it was more I was dressing up to see lady gaga more than anything. I think fashion shouldn't have boundaries, as cheesey as it sounds. I think when girls walk out into clubs wearing next to nothing, thats not fashion and I think girls who dress like that are looking for attention from guys, not to make a fashion statement. But I think sometimes when someone goes out wearing something provocative like Lady GaGa or Taylor Momsen.. they're doing it for fashion and for themselves. And I appreciate that more than the girls in the clubs. Saying that though, Taylor Momsens style is definitely too slutty in my opinion and I would never wear anything like that. I don't dress conservative, I do wear short shorts sometimes or a crop top now and again but I do have boundaries.. I'd never wear a crop top and short shorts together. Too much skin on show, haha!
I suppose that the point of wearing vintage clothes is maybe a statement, kind of "I choose to wear vintage clothes because I don't want to wear what everybody else is already wearing and because I don't want to follow the trend that this and that brand wants to impose", now the truth is that the vintage style has already become one of the most popular trends all over the world. Does it bother you at all? Why do you choose vintage items?
I love this question! Yes, it does bother me a little, and especially as the big guns like topshop and co have started to make 'vintage dresses'.. what? That's not vintage, thats factory made, you can't call it a vintage dress! I think it's annoying because people like vintage for all the wrong reasons. My favourite things about vintage are that they are pretty unique, and there is a story behind each item. It amazes me to think how many people could have worn the item that I am wearing when it's vintage! I think the vintage style is also just very 'me'. But it does bother me and it's annoying that it's become a fad rather than something people choose because they enjoy the fashion. That being said though, vintage can be hard to find in your size, and for a cheap price. Ig uess topshop is good for vintage inspired clothing because the real artcile can be hard to obtain, and I do shop there so I can't bash it.. but it's still a little sad that some girls think dressing vintage is about buying all the vintage looking clothing from topshop!
What subjects did you take at A level?
History, Politics and English Literature. They sound very academic and fancy but I'm not that great at subjects at school if I'm honest. Politics is definitely one of those subjects that is as boring as it sounds.
What is the greatest gift you have ever received?
I recieved quite a few nice things from my ex boyfriend, I have to admit.I think a bracelet he got me that I wore everyday was a very special gift to me. My mum also got me a heart pendant when I was 13 that is engraved, thats pretty special too. I'm very sentimentle too, so I much prefer something that means something than something expensive anyday! :)
Are we going to have a South Yorkshire/Sheffield based Blogger meeting?
I really hope so! I've got lots of stuff planned in the summer so I'm not sure when I'll be able to set it up, but I will give people enough warning. I'm very excited!
Do you drive? what car do you own?
Nope, I cvan't afford it and it is a well known fact I would be a TERRIBLE driver. I have road rage just sitting next to my dad in the car :| I don't own a car but my dad owns a really ugly big green car that has 3 seats in the front. It is very comfy inside, which probably makes up for the fact it's so ugly on the outside!
What's the best item you have ever bought?
HAHA worst question, ever! I don't think I can choose :( Actually, I will choose my favourite item of clothing, which is this:
.
I've only worn it once :( it is vintage with gold beading and it is my favourite thing ever. It was £20 off a vintage seller off ebay. It's just so pretty!
What are your 10 makeup/hair essentials you couldn't live without?
I think I've pretty much answered this, but I guess if it's can't live without then it may be different:
Clinique dramatically different mousturiser
Trick & treatment concealer
Mac studio sculpt foundation in NC44
Colossal maybelline mascara
Collection 2000 liquid liner
Aussie/Tresseme heat defence (either is fine!)
Bed head either catwalk thickening/beadhead superstar serum
Ego boost by bed head
DRY SHAMPOO!
I guess the urban decay primer potion too?
To be honest I could probably live without half of them, but these are my favourite :)
What's your favourite book?
Noughts and crosses will always be my favourite, it was the book I read at 13/14 that effected me alot. I also love catch 22/to kill a mockingbird/Harry potter and the deathly hallows. I don't really have a specific genre but I do enjoy adventure type books. Some of the books I have read are under 'reading' in my sidebar.. alot of them are re-reads, because I love re reading favourite books :)
Thanks for all your questions, and sorry that I am a very boring person! There are going to be ALOT of surprises coming on this blog throughout the next 2/3 posts, and they are pretty exciting, and I tell you one...
I am getting a new layout.
I am SO excited, It's actually all designed and pretty much finished, but I need to sort stuff out (even more surprises) to go with it so that has to wait. It's alot plainer than the current one but I'm happy with it :)
But now for the surprise for this post.
Guess who bought a new Nikon d3000 camera?
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I have been saving for AGES to buy this camera, and trust me, without a 'proper' income, it's been hard! I wouldn't usually just be like 'oh wow look I got an expensive new camera', but I worked SO HARD to buy it, and I wanted to let you all know that my blog pictures will now be in ALOT better quality! Hurrah! Lets just call it a birthday present to this blog too, because thats pretty much the only thing I've got it for!
Keep your eyes peeled for more 'exciting' stuff, and Sorry but that winner of the Disney Couture contest will be on the next post, not this one (sorry!) I've been busy with stuff but it will be up eventually.
♥
