You always look great in your blog pics - don't be calling yourself sad or old! As for goth, I rather like goth style. And if it suits you and you're happy in it, what's the problem?



Would you mind telling a makeup thicko what to do with it? It looks and sounds good and for the price it seems worth a try. Dunno about which shade to pick or what to do with it though!

i too have the shimmering face whip and its a little tube of heaven! Seriously I always hate powdery blushers as they make me look like a drag queen and they are so cakey on my skin- but this is so nice and always makes me look fresh....use just a ickle bit though as it goes a long way! I have the pinky one erm cant remember what its called...suits my pale skin.

I should be a rep for ELF shouldnt I? lol

Sorry to butt in, but re: the swishing idea... would it not just be easier to create an account on Bigwardrobe and give each other your usernames? Apologies if this has already been mentioned x

Can I safely assume that swishing is the clothes swap idea? Can someone please translate for the un-adventurous (ie me) lol

CompletelyLost

Yep, swishing... swapping... whichever

Evening ladies, finally made it back on here and only a mere 12 pages of chat to catch up on! :eek:

Mariel, I absolutely love the button boots.

Alex, what about woollen tights with your dress as a sort of tights v leggings compromise? TK Maxx have some Elle ones and Falke for around £4 - I got some mid-grey ones and a lovely rich burgundy/red pair today. They've got a high lycra content in as well, so don't go baggy either.

Rainbow, make sure you go to the docs. I had a uti last year and I've never felt so ill - I had a temp of 102 and I felt like I'd been hit with sticks.

Got my hair cut today - ooh, but it's a bit shorter than usual. Think I like it though. Like Caryn Franklin, I have two grey streaks at the front of my hair. However, the cut has now exposed my two grey streaks to be almost white now! :eek: They're also now getting wider.

Currently slobbing out in vintage Levi button front denim skirt, black 3/4 sleeve tshirt and orange & pink glove socks, snacking on cocoa cherry pie baked granola nibbles, listening to Mumford & Sons.

Oh, nearly forgot, Boots have 75% off all Urban Retreat products at the moment and I just couldn't resist the Reverie perfume for £6.24.

Hi lovely chatty ladies! Feeling proud of myself as I have both got dressed and gone out today - hurrah! Went to see a friend's new baby (very very cute but glad I didn't have to stay the night!) and wore a new grey dress from People Tree (http://www.peopletree.co.uk/products/marielle-tie-neck-dress/?osCsid=fe520ab4d4abcdf7452e6baf542f550d) , purple tights and brown boots. I even washed my hair and put on some make-up so I must be on the mend!
The fruits of my 2 weeks of online shopping (whilst off work poorly) have started arriving en masse and I can't believe the amount I bought, definitely going to have send some back or my credit card bill will be crippling! Today there were some bits from the Bnevertoobusytobe beautiful sale and some Stila make-up that was reduced from a site I found on MSE (I spend way more money since I started coming on here!). People Tree parcel arrived yesterday containing dress above plus another dress and a skirt that I can't seem to find on the website anymore.
I am both scared and excited about what may arrive tomorrow!

Oh no, whilst finding that People Tree link I saw this new dress - http://www.peopletree.co.uk/products/roisin-umbrella-dress/
I usually buy stuff from there in the sale but don't know if this will hang around and I really want it! Will have to drop hints to OH about getting it for my birthday I think.

Wow, I love it! I could never spend that much though. Maybe if I bought less but spent more on one thing...hmmm?
