I just tried to upload you lovelies some pics of a project that I did, I bought this floral dress from a charity shop and altered it to make it lovelyyyyyy and floraly for me to wear.

However the images aren't uploading so I shall attempt it again tomorrow.

Sweetest dreams to you all.

Well I've had this plan since I was like 14 that by the time I was 19 (a females prime age) I would be in the shape that I desire the most, so I have 8 months and counting to do that... But my biggest goal really is to do well in my A Levels this summer (and get BCC) and get into university!

Calf length leggings. ARGH.

The rules:

1.respond and rework; answer the question on your blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your invention, add more one question of your own.

2. Tag eight other people:
Ok so the idea is to tag 8 other people, well I dont have many visitors to the blog just yet, sooooo I don't have like ANY people to tag apart from the lovely Jordan at The Art of Jordan .
So go over to her blog and check out if she replies to this tagging malarchy!

Love and peace my friends. Xxoo

like i already told you...

... I like to dress up/make myself up, everyday. It makes me feel better about myself rather than walk around in sweats and no make up.

However this kinda dressing up is probably not what you had in mind :)

Dress- Mums old and adjusted, Necklace- one long row of pearl decoration from IKEA, shoes- Dolcis, crown- asda, cigarette holder- party shop.

It was my best friends 18th birthday last week and we dressed up in 50s/60s inspired costumes, can you guess who I went as? .... I hope you can otherwise I didn't do too well!

Anyway what are you guys upto this evening? I'm off to work again.

XO

merry happy.

This is my friend John.
I love my friend John.
Unfortunately my friend John's one true love is booze.

Oh well.

XO

coming up...

...on moonfaces we have some hot summer outfits, inspired by the three girls from yesterday's post, a look at Mischa Barton's style at high street prices, some hot summer handbags, and some of the prettiest places to visit this summer.

As you can tell moonfaces is about to turn summery, this is due to the nice hot weather we are getting in England at the moment, which I happily welcome :)

Love to you all.
XO

this girl's got some serious style.

I love all these blogs i'm finding on which all the sassy ladys take pics of their hot outfits each day. These are giving me some serious inspiration... I have these hot outfits concocting in my mind however there are setbacks such as (a) i can't find exactly what i want (b) i don't have enough money to afford exactly what i want... and (c) both of these problems!

This first set of hot outfits that I adore are from BEBELICIOUS ♥:

These two outfits are fierce! I love the trousers on the left, especially with the bright yellow shoes! The outfit on the right is everything that I love, top,skirt&shoes i<3them. align="center">.

Ten Top Tips for a Happy day.

I'll be back later with some summery shots that most definately put me in a happy mood, but for now enjoy the 10 tips for a happy day :)

1. Wake up to a good alarm tune, something that infuriates you will only make you down, so have an upbeat tune as you alarm tone.
2. Dress to be fabulous every second of every day. If you look fab, you'll feel it too.
3. In the words of CoCo Chanel: “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” By all mean accessorize to the max, but then by taking that one item off you are not over done.
4. Smile. Its infectious incase you hadn't noticed before now. Smile at the old man walking towards you in the street, when he smiles back you'll have a surprise at the feeling you recieve.
5. Seize the day. Consider every opportunity that is offered to you, don't just say no without thinking through the possiblities. But don't go ott like the film 'Yes Man' :P
6. Only worry about the things that you can change in your life. You can't change payday from the end of the month to now,but you can make some instant extra cash (or save some) by ebay-ing, cutting down on clothes shopping, and going to bars and clubs with promotions on.
7. Be creative. Seeing the end result of something that you have made from scratch has a glorious feeling attached to it. When you can use something that you have put your hard work into you will be pretty chuffed I tell you. Dig out your mums sewing maching, or visit The Art of Jordan for some tips and ideas on being creative.
8. LOVE, appreciate and admire. Call your mum and thank her for all she has done for you. Admire your best friends new clutch bag and who knows she may lend it to you. Appreciate your boyfriends soggy spaghetti because you would have starved if it wasnt for him that night. N.B remember. NEVER give to recieve.
9. Don't eat carbs after 5pm and don't eat at all after 8pm if you can help it. Cutting out these things will make you feel less sluggish and bloated in the evenings.
10. Before you go to sleep, apologise to your best friend for saying that her car is ugly, or your boyfriend for slating that soggy spahetti he made you for dinner, because if you go to sleep with a problem you'll wake up with it too the next day.
    

Have a happy day.

things that make me smile...

I've had a down day today, so I thought I should cheer myself up (whilst entertaining you also) with some pictures of things I love....
OH WAIT thats what this whole blog is about! haha. Well these are things that make me happy when I am down, next time your upset maybe you should try to cheer yourself up with these remedies...

(1) First and foremost, LAUGHTER. laughter is the best cure for feeling sad. Get out an old joke book, some pictures of when you were young and thought you were the bees knees or what a Chris Rock/Lee Evans sketch...

(2) Dance! Dancing is one of the funnest (and healthiest) ways of de-stressing! Stick on a tune like Beyonces- Single Ladies or the new song by the Pussycat Dolls- Jai HO!

(3) Think about your most favourite places in the world and imagine yourself there (again- if applicable). My favourite place in the world is California in the US of A. A beautiful state with some iconic landmarks, and brilliant shopping! (top pic: the Hollywood sign, bottom pic: the Santa Monica pier by sunset!)

(4) Picture your deepest clothing fantasies, if I were allowed two items of high end fashion it would definately be a pair of these devine Spicy Heels by Louis Vuitton and right now I can't decide specifically which piece (its between the centre and far right garments) from the Balmain fall 09 collection, this certainly perks me up to imagin what I would wear these delicious pieces with!
(5) Many people have the weakness of comfort eating when they are down, but hey thats why its called a weakness, your allowed to do it still (but unfortunately regarded as weak for it haha), my two food items that make me smile are good old battenburg and a crunchie bar, by classics and loved by all. ESPECIALLY MEEEE!

(6) Also when I'm down, I have to still put make up on or put on nice clothes its just something inside of me that screams: "The world is not over what if someone were to see you like this!" SO I love to dress up, and this is my favourite dress up ever (ok it was not when i was down but for my best friends birthday party) but I went as 'Audrey Hepburn', or more accurately, 'Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffanys starring as Holly Golightly'....

(7) This one kinda links with 6, but when I feel down i try to reinvent myself! and Nothing says that better like a brand spanking new haircut, and that is what I am doing tomorrow- going to have my hair done by my lovely hair stylist Cat.

(8) Talking of cats, seeing mine stretched out in a comfortable and comforting position makes me smile, I always take a picture of my pussycat when he does something cute or funny just so that I can remember it in future and.... :) SMILE.

So, if your not happy by now, maybe you need to sleep or something like that, I get notoriously grotty when I'm tried (or hungry come to think of it).

I hope your all cheery. Have a lovely night.

and Sieze the day. Come what may.

inspire yourself today...

I came across a brilliant blog the other day (actually through another blog Daydream Lily (check it out)) called 'The Art of Jordan' the blogger describes the blog as everything style, and quite rightly so. She has a fabuloussss mix of all types of topics, "to inspire the creative in you".

I have quickly become addicted checking the blog almost hourly!

But the post I really love is about making inspiration boards, here are my favourite inspiration boards...(i want to put it all!). enjoy....

I love the simplest idea of pinning/blue-tacking images, cinema stubbs, magazine cuttings etc.. onto the back of your bedroom door, this is especially inspiring as everytime you leave the door you can remind yourself of that simple message for the day...

This inspiration board is so much easier to add to/takeaway from, its also alot neater! And you could make your own with your own fabrics on the back and coloured elastic to match your personal space!

This final one I've chosen from the blog is the 'boards'! this idea is wonderful, I especially love the one above!

What a great post from Jordan at The Art of Jordan, to check out the full post and how to make your own inspiration boards click here. I'll post a pic of my own inspiration board once my camera is fixed! Enjoy making them my lovelies.

I've had a crazy weekend...

...Hence why I haven't blogged since Friday!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter. I did not get any eggs, as I'm officially off chocolate, however I asked for Fruit Pastels as a replacement haha!

Today I have a few sweet and sexy images for you from Le Love and Olsen Anonymous both sites are actually run by the same lovely lady! (She also has two others Le Smoking and Le Fashion)

I've only ever had one pet, and that's my handsome cat, Max, who had lived with me for two years this week! So happy anniversary Maxipuss!

This image is so cute, aww the rules of love.

This sexy 'look of the day' was worn by Mary-Kate Olsen, I love the dress and the booties. Hot stuffffffff.

I love this really casual look worn by Ashley Olsen, everything just goes so well, i love the ripped jeans, I am considering investing in (or creating) a pair myself. Im loving the bag also!

I may update later as I'm relaxing today after working 5 nights in a row! Have a nice day all! Stay sexy. Be happy. And love everyone. xo

P.S my lovelies, Ryan has updated the belly series and it is now week 28 over at pacing the panic room! xo

Rocking Rockstars & Their babies.

Today's post was going to be a bit wish washy so I decided it would be on something completely random: Rockstar daughters. Making a name; from their parents names.

So ladies and gentlemen, I give you *drum roll* the Rockstar Daughters Awards!!

.

Most Annoying Rockstar daughters: Goes to... Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa Geldof (born 16 March 1986) and younger sister Little Pixie Geldof (born 17 September 1990), the two are the daughters of rock legend Sir Bob Geldof.

Both have insisted on forging careers as socialites. I can't decide which one is worse...

.

Most confused-about-whose-the-daddy Rockstar daughter:

Goes to... the beautiful, graceful Liv Tyler (born July 1, 1977), the Armageddon beauty grew up thinking that her mother's (Bebe Buell) then husband Tood Rundgren was actually her father, until discovering the truth at the age of 9, that her biological father was in fact Aerosmith's lead singer Steven Tyler.

Liv and her real daddy now share a close bond.

.

Rockstar daughter with the most 'issues':Goes to... the fabulous Nicole Richie. Nicole was born 21 September 1981, she is not the biological daughter of musician Lionel Richie, who adopted her at the age of 9 after becoming her guardian age 2, however he made sure that Nicole's every wish was granted after Lionel and wife Brenda's highly publicized divorce.

Nicole has suffered some very high publicized battles herself, with the eating disorder anorexia, her friendship break-up with BFF and co-star paris Hilton, and her many break-ups with countless boyfriends.

You'll be glad to see however that Nicole is now in a happy place, she has a daughter, Harlow Winter Kate Madden, with fiance Joel Madden as well as a new baby on the way.

.

Rockstar Daughter with the most Famous Friends: Goes to Kimberly Stewart (21 August 1979), the American socialite is a fashion model and fashion designer, and most importantly; daughter of legend Rod Stewart.

Kim is mostly known for her press coverage and who she hangs out with, in recent times these ahve included, Paris and Nicky Hilton, Courtney Love, Kim Kardashian, Anna Nicole Smith (deceased), Kelly Osbourne, Lindsey Lohan and Jack Osbourne.

.

Most successful-in-her-own-right Rockstar Daughter:

Goes to... Fashion designer Stella Mccartney (13 September 1971). The daughter of Beatles legend Paul McCartney is a successful high fashion designer won Designer of the Year award in 2007.

.

Don't you wish you could live the sweet life like these gals? xo

film buzz

I have watched some great films recently...

The first is light hearted comedy that I watched this morning, starring Doris Day; who my mum loves.

The movie is called 'Do not disturb' and it follows a young married couple who move to England for America, the wife (played by Day) is suspicious that her husband is having an affair.

Made in 1965, it was amazing to look at the recycling of the fashions.

The second film I watched was 'The Shawshank Redemptiom'. And I pretty much have no words to describe how it made me feel. I had a copy of the dvd for about a year and never wanted to watch it as I had been told it was a devestating story. I can assure you, it was far from it. The story was beautiful and revolved around hope and fear. Made in 1994 it had been voted the top film in IMDB's top 250 films ever.

Now for my favourite movie of all time....

It is of course the 1961 classic 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' starring the fabulous Audrey Hepburn. I believe she is so iconic because of the pure class that every pore of her body oozed. To put it simply. This classic film is also another that the fashions are very apparent and similar to today's revived styles.

That's all for now folks. xo

tattoo love

i really want a tattoo. like so badly.

i was having a browse today, and as i have no theme i just selected what looked pretty...

. i could have the audrey hepburn's autograph tattoo-ed onto my anatomy somewhere?

.

...or how about having 'what goes around, come around' tattoo-ed in arabic?
.
stars seemed to be a reucurring theme of my likes...
.

i like the positioning of this tattoo, just tucked in behind the ear (i also like the idea of right at the top of your neck, that way hair can hide it or it can be on show)...
.

...but overall this HAS to be my top one. i love it! i like how all the stars are different.

but the question is- are stars just a phase?

right now they have no meaning to me.

and its all about the love and meaning between the tattoo and its owner right?

.

let me know your views. xo
