eyes...

experimenting with eye shadow! i definitely need a better camera

Queens jubilee..

celebrating the queens jubilee with a street party. Great day.

a much needed break

ok so i realise now even more so how i have lost my sense of self and sense of style. time to up the anti!!

terrible style....

the battle continues. for some reason i can not get the desired look that i want. i know for one i need to loose weight but i should still be able to look half descent... so far no luck. i want a clean crisp, sophisticated look but i just seem to get the  frumpy look to a T. expermientation needs to continue.... but on such a crap budget its difficult! charity shops here i come lets hope i find some gems.

wishlist

Bag from store 21 £9.99

I thought this bag would be great for when i go on holiday to use on the beach.

Redken spray starch

I want this product ive seen so many you tube videos recommending this product if you curl or straighten your hair and want the style to last all day! i have difficulty styling my hair because of how thick it is, especially when curling my hair. the curls tend to drop out within the first hour. the starch spray holds the curls in all day! i will get some when i have the chance.

knecklace and kimono

the knecklace was a find in a charity shop. I liked it because of how different it is and on close inspection when i got the item home i noticed that it may actually be made from animal bone.
I made the kimono i am wearing myself and stitched the tassel trimming on. i will publish further pictures of the entire garment in the near future. i like experimenting with fabrics at home.
The bracelets i was wearing are from primark in the sale. cheap and cheerful :)

experimentation

hmmmmm what to do next...

nail foil...

ok so i thought i'd try a really cheap brand of nail foil. it only lasted half an hour before the whole nail started to peel off of its own accord!!! ive tried more expensive brands and had a few days of chip and peel free days but this was annoying!!!!!!

improvement ...

An attempt to look better..... not sure if it worked! im definately going wrong somewhere

Scarves By me

 Here are a couple examples of scarve i create using a knitting machine. I also have a website www.knittingbecky.co.uk however it is in need of an update.

Nude Nails

nude nails - a few layers of this nail varnish produces a really nice nude pink effect to your nails. really difficult to see in the first picture, goes esecially well with a slight tan. I purchased the sally hanson nail varnish in the poundshop!

the world is full of B*******

My phone was stolen yesterday and unfortunately i had not yet uploaded all of my photos and videos onto my laptop!! therefore i have lost my baby pictures of my son and the only videos me and my partner had of him first starting to walk and talk were on there, lost forever. i dont care about the phone id do anythin to get the pics back ........ :(

temporary tattoos

 Lately temporary tattoos have seemed to be cropping up everywhere and it seems they have caught my eye. The thought of having an actual tattoo has never appealed to me because im worried that a week later i will no longer have the same desire for the tattoo as i did when it was created. I recently bought a sealed box of cola flavoured chewing gum from a car boot sale and was pleasantly suprised to find that in each wrapper not only was there a chewy treat but also a novelty tattoo. Sad maybe however i have found them to be a cute little accessory so much so it has drven me to purchase two tattoo pens!! now i am able to create the look i want without further cost!! if i want a bracelet i can draw it on- the pen is easily removed with water which suits me perfecty and at a bargain price of £2.99 each they will satisfy my temporary tattoo faze whilst its present!!

good luck paul mckenna

new orange bag and 'going green'

 my partner bought me this gorgeous orange bag from jeff bains covered in diamantes :)

multiple bracelets form the mens section in primark!! Green jeans from asda.

Don't know

TO be honest i don't know why i'm putting this because i'm almost positive i don't have any readers but.... i have been wanting to blog for the last few days but i have no  way of uploading pictures onto the pc at the moment. i've been so lucky to have been given some great clothes over the last few days which are of very good quality and from places i cant afford!!! I cant wait to start introducing them to my wardrobe!!! But i do need to clean out my existing wardrobe... car boot time soon every penny counts!

bordem= painted nails

Jewellery........

I hand made some jewellery in my spare time over the last few days... not great but i was pleased with the result. the first one is a necklace the photo definately doesnt do it justice. It makes a plain tshirt look great.

necklace with a few sequins stiched on. Dramatic piece great to go with plain items or prints.

front of bracelet

back of bracelet. fastens with popper buttons.

 

 

 

so i plan to make some more peices over the next few days. it keeps my creative mind active which i must admit has lay dorment for a while.

my baby boy....

i wasnt going to but.... i couldnt resist. Thought id share a picture of my son with the world!!

Pink...

im trying to be a bit more girly lately. my wardrobe mainly consists of black so a splash of colour wouldnt do me any harm!! Anyway i found the sally hansen nail varnish in the pound shop and was excited by how bright the colour is. I painted my nails with it last weekend and suprisingly its hardly chipped, i have never known a nail varnish to last so well.. i may have to go back and consider the entire range!! Looking after my one year old son i tend to be washing my hands regularly and doing alot of activities so finding this nail varnish has put a smile on my face!! I also came across these thermal gloves in the sale in peacocks for only £4, with the snow falling and the wind being icy cold i need a good pair to stop my hands from dropping off, both practical and in my opinion quite attractive for such a useful accessory!
i am planning on making some more jewellery later this evening when i get a few seconds free so i will post some pictures later.
Thanks xx

still poorly!

ok London was a disaster, didnt get anything done. Im still really ill but im making a bracelet to try and keep myself active. feel blahhh

Ready for the off

Ok so we have decided to still go to london Yay!!!! but im still poorly Boo! Iom keeping my fingers crossed that the trip will be succssesful and im all wrapped up warm! just thought id take a couple of pictures this morning. Think im getting the hang of my new hair cut!?

London tomorrow.....hopefully

Been planning on a much needed day out to london for a while. But i have a severe chest infection which ended up with me needing an inhaler, steroids and antibiotics. That was yesterday, now the steroids have kicked in and the inhaler is keeping my breathing ok so fingers crossed tomorrow will be possible. I love traveling on the train, the journey brings a certain anticipation that only traveling on the train brings. Maybe thats just me.... i dont know. I know that im  going to need a large bag tomorrow so that i can carry snacks for my partner, son and me aswell as medication and as always the trusty "just in case" items that yu will always find me carrying around. I always struggle to take a small bag with me where ever i go. Anyway i decided that my diesel fuel for life bag is perfect for the job!!

My Kindle will definately be accompanying me on the train, great present from my partner. I wasnt sure about kindles before i recieved one because i have to admit i do love the feel of a good book, turning the pages and looking at how much is left. But the kindle is great and i hardly put it down!! Especially as there always seems to be a sale on amazon for kindle books and you can go online and get a whole load of free books. my only grudge is that the kindle doesnt display page numbers only percentage. I know its because you can change font size so pages will be different sizes but still..... a little frustrating ( but i suppose im nit picking)
 lately its been freeeeeezing and with a chest infection i need to layer up.. heavily. I will definately be wearing a knitted collar i recently purchased from sainsburys in the sale (£3).

And i will be wearing my thick river island scarf with a hood that i purchased a few years ago!! oh and my leopard print gloves
fingers crossed it all goes to plan
