Whats with all the Miley Hatin´?

Its not fashion or beauty based and I know I've not posted lately but this has been bugging the crap out of me,so I'd like to get it out there and hopefully think that Miley might see this(who am I kidding?) and know we're not all screaming "how can my children grow up to be good people when this exists!?"
I can be accused of being many things,lazy,ditsy,messy.But one thing I've never been accused of is being a miley cyrus fan.I never bought into the Disney channel or Disney in general(oh boy meets world,how you have changed me).But I have to say I like her new song,it's catchy and I don't feel guilty for liking it like most of her songs.Why?Because it's not s ok me scrappy party tune that you'll hear in Oceana and dance along to because it's catchy but probably never listen to again.Wrecking ball is something I would put on my iPod.I'm basing this on the song,the video is good and has some bearing on the song,God knows I love Terry Richardson.But I don't think miley can get upset about people com ppl claiming about the nudity and not taking it in context with the song and the soul bearingness(according to my kindle thats actually a word,who knew?),she should now people are going to take the nudity in context with her can performance and go "see?look what an immoral little slut she is.what if my children saw?"(don't even get me started on that,when I was a kid I was naked a tonne more than miley.It's not kids that would be horrified with nudity,it's teenagers,with their crazy hormones and awkward boners.It should be what if my teenager saw?).I think the video could have been done better,even if it kept the nudity but took out the sexual sledgehammer and chain licking.
  However one of the things that endeared me these days,is,that even though she's being young and possibly doing drugs and getting nakey,she made a song like wrecking ball.Which is honest and Frank,she seems to have acknowledged that she has grown up in the spotlight,and we have watched her every move like a real life Truman show.And with this acknowledgment she has given us insight into what's going on in her head during this difficult time.So I ask you,don't hate Miley for expressing her sexuality when you are hoisting her high as a role model for your children to live by,that is too much responsibility for someone so young ,show her a little understanding.Because she is a human being first and a public figure second.

Jeffrey Campbell Lita Spike Review

Over the past few weeks I've been too broke to try new products.i do have a haul to film and will do that once one of the things I bought comes out of the wash.
When I could afford to do stuff I managed to get a few trips to the pub in hence this post.i finally managed to break in my black spike Litas so I've decided to review them.They feel very different to the other Litas I have so I've given them a separate review.
Initially these were very uncomfortable.the first time I wore them it was panic padding.adding too much padding and forcing my toe against the seam which cut them and made them impossible to wear for a full night.the second time I wore them they were uncomfortable because of under padding.thats the thing about these Litas for me. Not enough padding makes my foot slide about and makes them hurt.And since only one of my pairs of Litas are new,there wasn't any choice to go down a half size. If I wear a couple of thick socks or one pair of thick socks and about 4 pairs of normal socks they're perfectly comfortable.
I do not have the luxury that other Litas wearers get from wearing them with just rights because the top unfortunately does rub against my legs and cuts them and blisters them.SO I always have to have some socks poking over the top of the shoe.this can take away a little from an outfit.
Despite this I like the attention I get from these.the safety that the spikes give me because the general consensus from them is that I am not to be messed with.
The leather is quite tough and has got a little scratched by the spikes but hasn't been broken.unfortunately I have scuffed the toe from falling over in them(I didn't lace them tight enough).
They do have a good amount of height in them which I love.Being five one I need the height.
They were definitely worth the money I paid for them because I'm getting a good amount of wear from them and I love them.they're a stunning pair of shoes.i would recommend them because you will live them when they are properly broken in

Brand Spanky Spanky New Youtube Channel

I've created a new Youtube channel so I could have my own Youtube for the blog and one for watching Dr Phil.
Its got all the old videos on it and any new videos I post will go on that channel.
http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeS6PQ5aU_PAA-KeAZE807A
Eventually I will learn how to customize it to look snazzy and organized, but for now it has a picture of my eyes and a picture of my boyfriend that I don't know how to remove. How does technology work again?

Rihanna Summer Collection

I've just found out that Rihanna summer collection is out and it is a lot less disappointing than her spring collection. Here's some of my favourites. Brace yourself, this is going to be long. There's some gems in this collection.There are some meh pieces. Like those t-shirt crop tops from the spring collection but in different colours and another one of those skirts that look like you have a denim shirt tied around your waist (Did anyone but her actually wear those?)
Black Rihanna barely there stiletto sandals
These are one of my favourite things that is on trend at the moment.Ive seen a lot of them about. They can really glam up a pair of jeans and a blazer or they can be a gorgeous accompaniment to a dress.They are so versatile. Theyre a bit out of my price range, ill probably have to get on the ol' ebay and find a similar pair. And they come in nude
Black Rihanna floral print sheer shirtBlack Rihanna floral print trousers Black Rihanna floral print crop top
Black floral Rihanna oversized denim jacketBlack floral print Rihanna overall maxi dressBlack floral Rihanna dip hem culotte dress
Black floral Rihanna high waisted shorts
I love the use of florals in this collection. I normally think florals are a bit hit and miss, though they look nice I don't think I would wear them. But these dark florals I absolutely would. They are dramatic and summery at the same time and I love them.Especially the two dresses. I love the nineties vibe of this collection and I think she has manage to capture the nineties while still making the collection original which I don't think she managed to do with her spring collection.
Red Rihanna dip hem culotte dress
I like this too, its striking and on trend with the dip hem.
Green tie dye Rihanna sleeveless jumpsuit
Not being a jumpsuit kinda girl (tried one once, it made me look like a sack of potatoes), I do like this and I would try and wear it.It could be the tie dye but theres something about this that gets me excited to think about ways to style it.
Green tie dye Rihanna knicker shorts
God I wish I had the figure for these.Id wear them every day
So that was my take on the Rihanna Summer collection. What did you think?Post in the comments below

Hell In Leather

Quick outfit post. I've had this jacket for years, like literally years. Its a wardrobe staple from my leather jacket period. I used to buy loads of leather jackets, I had about 4 or 5 and no other type of jackets.
This is a casual outfit that I wore to the pub. I think its a great pub outfit because its smart casual. What do you think?

Ultra bland rave

Yeah the titles misleading.
You all know about my addiction.im obsessed with lush.I happened to buy ultra bland while I was at Waterloo,long story short beer was involved and I ended up getting the large tub.
At first I hated it.its thick and feels like lip balm.it felt like it would ruin my face because its so oily.
Fast forward a few weeks and I use it all the time.i actually pile it on pretty thick by now
How to use it:
Don't be shy.a lot works just as much as a little
You don't need a wet face to use it
Flannels are important.a sponge or water will not suffice.this baby is pretty thick and won't come off that easy

Don't be afraid that its so oily.it probably won't make you break out.its good for redness because it soothes the skin.ive found it good for the random flare up my skin had recently.it soothed the redness and smoothed over the dry rough spots.my skin looks a bit brighter and more radiant.its a bit softer and helps lock in moisture or return it if you've just been in the bath and its all dry.ive loved this product and might even repurchase it rather than try other ones from lush.its done great things for my skin.i might try and use it over the summer where my skin gets that weird rash that it gets in the summer.
If I think of anything else I love about it ill let you know

Manicure Monday

I think this is called a reverse manicure.or reverse French tips.im not sure.but it's pretty easy to do.
FIrst you paint your nails in any colour.i chose rimmels misty jade because I love it and because I'm stealing this idea from another blog which I don't know how to link to because I'm writing this on my iPod.
Then carefully dab glitter on the base of the nail.its easier with glitter because you don't have to be that careful.i used amythyst by Barry m because its my favourite glitter and it looks kinda like pint splatter.
This isn't that complicated a look but I think it looks great

Why converse are the best shoes ever

Last night I had a dream my converse got ruined so much I couldn't even wear them and call it a "grunge look".then Jensen button gave me a piggyback because I had no shoes,which was fun. So here's my reasons for converse being the best shoes in the universe
Picture the scene. Its 2 in the morning, the clubs have closed and you have to make your way home, heels and all. They're probably not even on your feet, most likely hung of your wrist while you hobble along. Wouldn't you just LOVE a pair of converses right now?
I find after a big night out when my feet are crying and screaming why did you do this to me? Why did you do this to me? Converse are the best things ever. And its not just when i'm hobbling to the corner shop the morning after a night out when my feet are still killing me. Here's a list of scenarios they rock my world in.
-Woohoo!I got festival tickets!Pants what shoes will I wear
-Balls, my wellies broke and its muddy as fudge.What shoes will I wear? I only bought wedges. Converse to the rescue(Yeah the eyelets let in mud but socks and Converse can be washed.)
 They are the comfiest thing you can put on your feet in my opinion. And they look so great. What other shoe can you wear to death. TO DEATH. And they still look awesome. They even look better than when you first bought them.Clean, they're preppy. Dirty, they're grungy. And they can be washed which is handy as balls when i've been caught in the rain, which I always do. They are lifesavers. And rock on over to ebay and you can get them really cheap. My white ones only cost me a tenner.My aids awareness ones were only £3.50.


Epic Fangirlness

Ok the post was misleading. I am not an epic fangirl. But I know someone who is. And as I love to make people happy and especially this person. I am writing this post. It will make me happy to make someone else happy. And isnt that what blogging is all about?
Black Milk have a pair of tardis police box leggings.Here they are.The colour of them is fabulous. Though im not a fan of the pattern. I don't think you can see enough of the tardis,its not obvious enough for me that its a tardis either. Comment if you think im wrong but I personally wouldn't spend £50 on them.

 These however, are fabulous. I love the print. Yes its not as obvious that its a tardis either but doctor who fans will spot this a mile off. I really love the colours and the whole look of them all.Sadly, they are not online yet. But I really think I will be buying a pair for that person and possibly even myself. They're beautiful and considering they are from her universe, they'll be a fraction of the cost.

This weeks favourite

Since I haven't got a laptop I'm posting from my iPod so excuse the picture quality.
My favourite product this week is batiste cherry.The boiler is on the fritz so I haven't been able to bath as much as I'd like.which sucks and I feel so gross.luckily I bought a can of this months ago just in case and it works so well! My hair never looks greasy,this makes it feel light.sometimes it feels itchy which it tends to when its dirty.this makes it a bit cleaner,enough so to leave the house not feeling like a hobo.i haven't noticed a cherry smell,it just smells fresh.its saved my life this week.so happy with it.its pretty cheap too.

Style Steal

This isnt a normal type of style steal. Im not creating an outfit based on someone elses outfit or being inspired by an outfit I saw. I am pillaging from my boyfriend. Aww poor dear, I stole his only beer t shirt. I will give it back. Or should I? Ill let you decide.Obviously disco pants, I want to get some different coloured ones or some different trousers, there's so little out there that I like at the moment, only  skirts. Im mainly drawn to skirts.Not great for this weather.

The jacket is from Tk maxx,ive had it for about a million years. Do any of you have that trusty jacket that has just lasted you forever?Nothing can ever happen to this jacket, if it broke id probably cry for a week.It was £22 which aint too shabby. The top is the beer shirt that i pillaged from Tom. My grey converse are vintage apparently and cost me £12 from a shop in notts called Braderie.
How did you all enjoy the snow?It was so pretty. It wrecks my skin, my face is still unhappy and i've been in sunny kingston for half a week now. Come on spring, what you doing?

Blackout (Kinda)

Bad blogger!Bad.Yeah its been a while I know. My computer has finally decided to give up the ghost so i'm having to post stuff from my boyfriends computer.So my posts wont be as regular. I did get a few outfit posts though so Ill post those


This is an outfit I love that I wore for a night out. Got a lot of compliments for it(Psyched!) The skirt is from Primark and cost me 5 WHOLE POUNDS!!!! its gorgeous. I really love the whole chiffon skirt over a normal skirt thing that seems to have been going on this season and last season. Its the skirt of my dreams pretty much. The top is my trust crop top from top shop (I just love saying that!), which cost me £10. I love this outfit as a whole. Obviously I wore my jeffrey campbells because of their ultimate gorgeousness and the height they give me. They cut the hell out of me though. I look like ive been in a fight with a lawnmower. I do love them though. I have my evil eye bracelet from Kukee which I believe cost me £3. Its one of my favourites at the moment.  might start doing favourite videos because I wear so much of the same stuff.
Hope you enjoyed this post.

Olay Eye Makeup Remover Review

Soo. I bought a new eye makeup remover. I was in Asda and it was only a pound(I know wow).. I thought I'd take the opportunity to try it out properly when I had a load of eyeliner on the other day.





Positives of this product
-Gets eyeliner off well
-Makes skin on eyes feel creamy(is that a thing that eyes can do?)
-Seems to smoothen skin
-Moisturises a bit
-Just glides on and wipes off
-No need to rub so eyes don't go all red
-Price

Negatives
-Eyeliner goes everywhere
-Eyeliner gets black mess all over hands( I looked like an old timey printer of newspapers,or a paperboy. Yeah, a paperboy)
-Some got a bit too close to my eye and things were blurry for a while.Really blurry.
-Can't do the lash line and didn't want to try after the blur incident.
Overall despite the blur I didn't mind this product. It did its job relatively well. If I wasn't so keen on trying new products I would repurchase this.Anyway, this is all talk because I'll never run out of this.I could use it every day but I never seem to run out of things.Such is my cosmetic luck.

Time to go to skull (Sorry that was terrible)

Sorry about my camera.Its had Ben and Jerry's inside it for 2 and a half years now and the shutters get kind of sticky sometimes.
This is a top you'll be seeing a lot of.I know it must seem like I have four tops,sorry I do.My wardrobe is slowly being updated.But im going home soon so I might be able to take a trip to the massive primark(Thatd be nice) So hopefully you'll see a badass haul.But yeah the outfit.And no I do not feel the cold.

 I also had over knee navy blue socks from Primark(£2) and white converse(£10 eBay)..
Lipliner is black tulip by Rimmel
Top was £12 from Bank and the skirt is Topshop,can't remember how much it was.The belt was £5 from republic

Manicure Monday:Belated St Patricks day

Megalomanic Monday wasn't really working for me. I felt like this blog was just becoming a place where I can talk about what I want and maybe giving the vibe that Im just doing it for people to send me stuff. Im really not. I have this blog because Im just discovering fashion, shoes, nails, make up and everything that comes with taking care of your appearance more than I have done in the past. So I decided to change to manicure monday. I might still do wish lists because I think they say quite a bit about my personal style and help me develop it by looking around for things that appeal to me, but ill probably do those sort of posts every other week. Ive been learning how to do stuff with nails recently so manicure monday was born.Hopefully that will make this more of a style blog than an I want blog.So here goes
Yesterday was St Patrick's Day. Sadly I didn't do anything because I have stuff going on right now. But I did do these St Patrick Day nails.I didn't do a tutorial but I can do if you want one.Will probably do it in video form to make it easier.
Some of them are pretty blobby because I did it in about 15 minutes with my "dotting tool".My next one of these will probably be a tutorial but as I said if you want a tutorial for this specific look write in the comments.

Millionth Way I Style My Disco Pants.

I should really do a lookbook with ways to style disco pants because I wear them so much.Sorry.Theyre my go to trousers because the weather is pretty weird at the moment  and I like to be warm.



It was a good night.However I did have a fight with my lita's. We are both stressed,some things were said that we didn't mean. I didn't pad them enough and it looks like i tried to saw my toe off.Not a good look.Ouch

Relaxing all cool

I have dove,dived? into the 90's trend head first.loving the crop tops ,the levi's, the converses and I have bought myself a trucker hat which is pretty much a flat cap.Tie dye obviously.This is my take on the 90's. I didn't observe the fashions too much when I lived in it because I was 7.I have got like 4 crop tops now so i reckon I can do this 90s trend.I dont think the cut outness of this top is shown enough but it is all awesome and cut outy on the shoulders.





Also observe the sunny weather.It didn't start snowing until after I put this outfit on and long after I was able to change it so i'm not brave

Megalomanic Monday:Best of Romwe Leggings

My work has a habit of all coming at once so I almost didn't manage to do this post, but at quarter to 12 I decided I had to do it.I rushed over to romwe and got stuck in the leggings section, I couldnt help it they're all so amazing.So here goes
1.These are reminiscent of leggings i have seen that are either by black milk or lovely sally(who also have awesome leggings).These are a an amazing pair that would look fab with a black shirt, maybe a sheer one and some awesome cut out boots
 2.These remind me of black milks call of napoleon leggings, they're not similar but they remind me of them. I love them and the stained glass window effect, i'm not a religious person but if you have seen any of my hauls or previous mm's im drawn to religious things, i.e crosses.
 3. I've been looking for a decent set of mesh leggings since a saw a girl on the bus wearing some. They're awesome and so easy to wear. plus black is so flattering which makes me worry less about the fact the mesh panels highlight one of my problems areas.
 4.Valentines day is recent enough to keep getting mentioned so I had to include some swan leggings because they mate for life(How romantic), these are really elegant and could be worn day or evening. PLus I could wear these the scare me little brother since hes scared of swans.hehe, its ok hes almost 16, its not that mean
 5.These are so funky. I love them. They're really hipster but elegant and the same time and embodying last years ombre trend. My only issue it that the design is at the bottom and i'm too short for them to be seen on my, i'm too short for leggings =(
 6.GOTH ALERT! Goth Sammy is back. And she loves these. These would rock with my spiked litas and a combat jacket. Plus they look pretty good and would flatter a range of figures.Im tempted to mess with the system and get these to wear if I ever have an xray.
 7.The front of these are a triangle design which reminds me of the front of a Pink Floyd album, that makes me think, wow,indie much? I love things that really stand out but I also wear a lot of black so these would compliment anything I wear and add a much needed colour injection to any outfit.
 8.These are beyond amazing. I love retro and I love mario. I want these because my friends will love them, but will probably be a constant reminder of a crazy evening of mario kart we had. Aww embarrasing memories.
 9.I almost got pacman as my first tattoo,kinda wish I had, oh well there' time. Its so awesome, frustrating and fun and an embodiment of an era that was so important for fashion and technological advance.These dont really embody that but they are fun. The boyfriend got me a pacman ice cube tray for christmas, made me the happiest girl in the world
 10.Tetris, tetris tetris. Its safe to say these are tetris inspired. They are awesome and bright but not as in your face as some of the other leggings on Romwe(not that in your faceness is a bad thing). I love the geometric pattern on these.

Sorry that was so rushed.ill do better next week. Will get more outfit posts up soon as I have some new really awesome stuff to style.Have a great week!
