iPhone 6!!

So I finally have the iPhone 6! I absolutely love it. The camera is probably the best thing about it and of course, how big it is. It feels weird using it compared to my 4S. However, I have had to send it back for a brand new one as I have only had it 2 weeks and the internal speaker/microphone isn't working. Basically when someone calls me, I can only hear them when putting them on speaker phone. but they cannot hear me and also my earphones don't work on it either, when I put my earphones in, the music still plays out loud. I am just happy that they are sending me a brand new phone, and I still love the phone regardless of what has happened with it!

What do you guys think of the iPhone 6?

My first pair of panties!

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/12508581/?claim=m8wn8r5fw2k">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>

Ive had a really good day today because I made my first ever pair of panties with help from the lovely Becci Bayliss and you can visit her website here. She is amazing and such an inspiration to me and other people. She kindly taught me how to make them and also gave me the fabric to make them which was WATERMELONS! I love the fabric and I cannot wait to make my own panties independently now. People have already asked me if I can make some for them so they can buy them off me. I have learnt a lot today to do with marketing too on how to get yourself out there when being freelance in the fashion industry and also how all the money works. I know it will take a lot of hard work for me to get myself out there when I start making more clothes but I am determined and I will get there one day! Here's a photo of the panties I made :)

My first MAC purchases!

I have wanted to wear MAC make up for a very long time but I never really had the money to wear such expensive make up but now I have a job I thought I would treat myself and start wearing it. I didn't think much of it until I went shopping up Birmingham and decided to go into Selfridges to the MAC stall and try it out. I also love it because it's such a good quality brand and that's what I need. I haven't brought much at the minute but I know my collection will get bigger soon!

I am not very good with choosing the right colour for me so the reason I tried it out first was so I didn't spend £20 on the wrong one. This was the one that the woman tested on me and I am quite pale so that's why I have to have such a light powder. This cost me £20 and it is the studio fix foundation powder. 

My first ever MAC lipstick. I cannot wait to order more lipsticks!!!! I absolutely love this one, I love dark shades of pink so I got this one, this cost me £15 from the website and it is the Craving colour. My next lipstick that I get will probably be a baby pink. So excited to purchase more make up from MAC :)

I'm back!

Well, the past few months have been amazing for me, and I have had so much going on, that's why I haven't been on here at all. I have been very busy with college and with my family and friends.

First of all, I GOT INTO UNIVERSITY! I have got my conditional offers at Nottingham Trent University and University of Northampton but Northampton is my firm choice. Obviously I need the grades to get in completely but I am positive about all of it and I am going to work extra hard to get the grades I need. When I received the letter from both Universities I was so speechless because I was so shocked and happy at the same time. However, college has been very stressful especially with my job on top of it. Oh, yes, that's another thing. I got myself a part time job at Wetherspoons!!!!!!!!!! I pretty much hate being at work now after 4 months of working there but don't most people hate their job? I love the majority of the people there but it does add stress on top of my college work which really gets to me sometimes because my career comes first.

Secondly, I met someone, Nathan, and I am such a lucky girl to have him in my life. He makes me the happiest girl on earth and I can't imagine my life without him now, he is perfect.

Christmas!!!!!!!! I was absolutely spoiled for it by my friends, family and boyfriend, I had over £700 to spend on myself including a £250 River Island gift card that my boyfriend got me. When he told me he got me that I could not believe it (I am obsessed with River Island so I almost cried). So guess what I did? That's right, I went on a mad shopping spree. I will show you all what I've brought myself over the past couple of months in a future post but for now, HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)

London Weekend!

So I went to London on Friday! What a weekend! Absolutely loved every minute of it and I wish I could do it all over again. I went with one of my closest friends Mitch and we got the coach at quarter past ten on Friday morning and got into Victoria Coach Station about half past two in the afternoon. It took is ages to find our hotel but we got there in the end.  Our hotel was rubbish though, but it was the cheapest and closest hotel we could find to Wembley Stadium (I will go onto why I wanted a close hotel to Wembley Stadium in a minute). It was a shock to find that there was no bathroom in out room and that it was a shared bathroom throughout 4 rooms in the hotel LOL but we did get used to it in the end and it was something to laugh about. We got settled into the hotel for a few hours and then we went out for something to eat and one of the best restaurants I have ever been to; Garfunkles. It is expensive but it is delicious and I have already been there twice before! We had a lovely meal. I did not take any photos of the meal because I was too busy enjoying it but I knew I had to take a photograph at some point so here's our deserts. Toffee waffle pudding with ice cream and chocolate fudge cake served warm with ice cream, YUMMY!!!

After our meal, we had a walk around to get used to the area and got a bottle of Martini to take back to the hotel so we could have a drink while we lay in bed and watched inbetweeners all night which was quite fun haha.

The next morning we got up very early to get on the tube to oxford street and I was absolutely amazed by the sales in the shops. WOW! I could tell Mitch was getting so fed up with me because I was in the shops for hours picking up clothes like there was no tomorrow. I was shocked at the sales in river island, everything had been reduced so cheap, absolutely loved it! I brought a lovely bag which was £15 and a lovely grey top which was £12 pound from River Island. I brought a pair of trainers out of Topman which were leopard print and were reduced to £10. Then I went into Primark which is absolutely MASSIVE! I was in love haha I love primark and I couldn't wait to go in there, and I brought a lovely floral top and a floral kimono which were both £10 pound each. I LOVE a bargain! Me and Mitch were so in love with oxford street that we have decided to stay up London for a week in a few months so that we can shop till we drop! I can't wait to go again, I'm so excited. 

                 My river island bag! 

Me and Mitch, wearing my kimono from Primark which I am so in love with!

On Saturday night....... Are you ready for the big one? I WENT TO SEE EMINEM!!!! It was amazing and a once in a lifetime opportunity. It was so expensive but totally worth it. I went to see him with Mitch at Wembley Stadium where Danny Brown, ASAP Rocky and OFWGKTA supported him, they were pretty rubbish if I'm honest and I don't understand why they supported Eminem when they don't really have anything to do with him but oh well, I wasn't at the concert to see them. I was so happy with his choice of songs that he chose, and I loved the fact it was most of his old songs that he sung such as 'The Real Slim Shady', 'Stan', 'Lose yourself' and many many more. It wa a night I will never ever forget and I plan to go to all of his upcoming concerts in the UK. 

However, my feet were absolutely killing me because of the waiting around. We got into the stadium about 5:00pm and the support acts did not come on till 7:00 which was annoying. The wait was so long and I'm a very impatient person. Eminem did not come on till 9 and If my tickets weren't for standing I would have came to wembley at 9 so I could miss the support acts and just see Eminem: ugh. It took us ages to get out the stadium when Eminem had finished as well because it holds 90,000 people, use your imagination. The tubes were absolutely packed but we finally managed to get back to the hotel about 12:10am after stopping off at Burger King on the way back. We fell straight to sleep after we had eaten. 

On the Sunday it was time to go home (we were really sad) so we packed our stuff and left and made our way to Victoria coach station but we did have a Starbucks and a McDonald's on the way which was probably the reason we MISSED OUR 12:00pm COACH!!!!! Absolutely gutting but thank god my cousin is a Coach Driver for National Express and she managed to sort everything out for us. However, we did have to wait 6 long hours for the next coach but it was okay. We sat in a cafe for the whole time waiting because there was a space where we could charge our phones LOL. 

My work!

I have now finished my first year of college. I have met so many new people oh I love and now call my best friends who I can tell anything too and I have had so many memories such as going to Italy for two weeks with everyone and going out clubbing over there. I will never forget Italy (we all went over there for work experience with college, it was amazing). At college I study art and design where I do Graphic Design, Illustration and Photography. I love it and I have learnt so many new things, especially photoshop. I have grown to love photoshop and my knowledge is slowly getting stronger of it. I aspire to be a graphic designer so next year I hope to go to University of Leeds or University of Northampton to study graphic design. I also have a passion for illustration too so I have decided that in the future or soon, I want to be a freelance illustration and sell my work on iPhone cases, T-shirts, prints, etc... And also have a job as a graphic designer. I make so many plans for my future! It will be hard work but I will do it! 

I have grown to love something called Vector drawing which I have been learnin at college and I think I am actually getting pretty good at it. We do it using Photoshop and it's basically where we draw a cartoon like image of someone or something (everyone has seen them before) using the pen tool. I did Merlin from the Tv Show, and Kat Von D, the tattooist.
