<br />
Yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far, I live in a small city in England where it reached a scorching (or so I feel compared to last weeks rain) 26 degrees centigrade. I decided to take a walk to a shop about 15 minutes away to buy some strawberries and made a cake ready for mum when she got home from work :)<br />
<br />

It's a simple Victoria sponge laden with strawberry jam and topped with freshly whipped cream, strawberries and grated chocolate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

A jar of strawberry jam for the filling </div>

<br />
I took a trip to town yesterday and of course had to go into Boots and buy things which I didn't really need but which looked super pretty or interesting. I decided therefore that I would haul my little shop for you :). I apologise that there isn't that much, I'm on a strict 'no spending too much!' regime since I splashed out a week ago spending about £200 on clothes (uh oh). Hopefully more will come once I forgive myself a little.<br />
<br />
Anyway....into the haul...<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I picked up a Rimmel Scandaleyes waterproof eyeliner in 'bronze' for £3.99. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I prefer using brown eyeliner because I am super pale and fair and feel that black is sometimes too intense on my skin tone. I have previously tried Soap & Glory and Topshop waterproof eyeliners which came out pretty much black, but this one appears much more brown and has a slight shimmer so I am super excited to try this out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8Vi5Vq00sVI/UcDUZnA1wiI/AAAAAAAACOc/3M7QrKRzXcc/s1600/b3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8Vi5Vq00sVI/UcDUZnA1wiI/AAAAAAAACOc/3M7QrKRzXcc/s400/b3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another Scandaleyes product is this shadow stick in the shade 'bulletproof beige' which was £4.49.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I lied a little, this was actually from Superdrug because although there were about six in Boots, they has ALL been used. It annoys me SOOO much when people do that. There was a tester there but I guess they thought they'd just try another six aswell. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I feel this will look really good as an all over base colour, on the waterline and in the inner corners. I put a little into my inner corners when I bought it and it stayed for ages, so it's looking good so far.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Schwarzkopf got2b salt spray was £4.07</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am again yet to use this, but I have used salt sprays before and loved them. This one seemed to be the cheapest so I picked it up and sprayed it. Now I don't know about all of them, but for Christmas my brother bought me a Label.M one which retails for anything from £4 to like £15 and it had a very salty smell to it, don't get me wrong it was quite pleasant. Although this one has a really lovely almost fruity clean scent to it which I was not expecting. I am really looking forward to trying this out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This Batiste dry shampoo was on offer at £1.99. BARGAIN!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is one of their 'new' dry shampoos that strengthens and adds shine. Whether it does or not, I don't know yet. I picked this up because I am running out of my current one and this one smells pretty similar to the 'blush' one which is my current favourite. It's the typical white colour and I'm intrigued to know how/if it works. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I picked up this essie 2013 summer collection nail polish in 'Rock the Boat' for £7.99.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the colour of this one, it has a slight shimmer and looks lovely on the nails. I have gone into a bit more detail about this varnish in my blog post which you can find <a href="http://lucyloves1.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/essies-rock-boat.html">here.</a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last but certainly not least, I grabbed a Revlon lipstick (it's not like the 3 million I have already are enough, am I right?) in the shade 'pink in the afternoon' for £7.49.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This for me is one of those 'my lip colour but better' lip shades and is a really pretty rose pink colour. I also love the name of it. This is one of their 'super lustrous' lipsticks and I have worn it to death already. One thing I will say is that it seems pretty drying, I find the need to put a lip balm on with it. I also got and extra £2 off with a voucher and so for the price I really don't mind. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">And that is it. If you would like me to give a more in depth review or anything into any of the things I have bought, please do ask, it gives me post ideas :)</span></div>

<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Hey there everyone!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope you're all ok. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I recently picked up one of the essie summer collection nail varnishes called 'Rock the Boat' on a trip to Boots (haul to come soon!). It is a beautiful pastel blue/ periwinkle colour with shimmer (hopefully you can see that in the second pic). I'm not the biggest fan of essie because I usually find that they chip super easily and cost quite a bit, although I couldn't pass on this colour.</div>

<br /><div>
Overall, I am super happy with this colour. At the moment there is no chipping but I will more than likely go over it with a chip-proof top coat to make sure. It's such a summery colour, I can imagine this on a super sunny hot day at the beach would look AMAZING! </div>

I came back after a 4 month break to read a load of posts about GFC ending. WHAT!? I am utterly confused as some people are saying it is only google reader that is going and others, GFC all together. If the latter is true, after finally getting 158 of you lovely followers, you chummys all may disappear over night :(, which is not good!<br />

<br />
My outfit today on a trip to the dentist (arghhh!!) and into town...<br />

<br />
I was just listening to a load of songs I have been loving recently and thought, how can I incorporate this into my blog?...A song of the week would be good! I think I'm going to make this a bit of a regular Sunday thing, telling you guy what my favourite (or favourites if I can't pick) song has been the past week :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This week I have been OBSESSED with 'walks like Rihanna' by The Wanted. I don't typically like songs like this (super pop-ish and about random crap) but this is so damn catchy and happy, plus it often plays at work and makes me cope with the shift a little better.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
I know, I'm hopeless!! I last posted in February and that is not good enough! But I have a few excuses lined up, Uni finished a few weeks back and so up until then I was burdened with work and spent all my waking hours sat in the library writing 4000 word essays. It payed off though, came out of my second year with 2 Cs, 3 Bs and 3 As and since summer began I have been doing overtime at work. I'm hoping to be a better blogger from now on though. I'm going to start off a little easy with a tag and I'll soon (hopefully) be uploading some OOTDs and Hauls (accidentally spent about £150 in Topshop last week, oooops). So anyway after that essay, into the Tag.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
01. When did you start your blog?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started this little blog of mine on the first of July 2012, meaning it's nearly a year old :O how fast has that gone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
02. Have you had any online presence before?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have never had a blog before or a YouTube channel (as much as I'd love one!!) but I have Facebook and Twitter and Instagram and things (Links up there ^^ *winkwink*)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
03. Why did you start a blog?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love and am incredibly addicted to watching YouTube and have for a couple of years, wanted to start up my own channel but I have zero confidence with stuff like that. I knew about blogs and had read a few and followed some on BlogLovin' and so I decided to start up my blog LucyLoves :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
04. When did you become serious about blogging?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For a while I posted really randomly, sometimes three times a day and then again two weeks later, I had a very basic blog design and maybe one or two followers. After a few weeks I realised how to personalise it and how to gain more followers. I also started blogging more frequently and even scheduled certain posts if I knew I was going to be out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
05. What was your first post?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I actually started a LucyLoves blog before this one but forgot the password and so remade my blog as this one you see now. Originally on that one my first post was a 'hi, this is my blog' post, although on this blog, my first post was about Revlon lip butters and MUA lipsticks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
06. What has been your biggest challenge about blogging?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Definitely (as you can tell) keeping motivated to blog and to not take months out. I LOVE blogging and reading blogs and when I compose proper posts I spend ages on them. It's just sometimes I push blogging to the back and can't build the motivation or find the time to blog. I do miss the blogging community when I take time out though.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
07. Where do you see your blog in one year?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ehm, not that amazing to be honest. I'm training as a teacher and so don't see it becoming anything big unlike bloggers who work in the beauty/fashion industry. I just love using it as a way to express my love for fashion and beauty and such things and hope that I can entertain some of you guys with my future posts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
08. What is the most rewarding thing to you about blogging?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for sure the people. I have never met any of you lovely guys although I enjoy reading about peoples lives and what they've been upto and what clothes they like and things and reading comments on my posts. It has opened up a whole other community and world for me that I never knew that much of before. I love you guys :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
09. What is the most discouraging thing?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing too major, just again the time it takes me (as a bit of a perfectionist) to compose posts. After getting home from a day at work all I want to do is watch YouTube or The Big Bang Theory and eat, I have thought about uploading a post on numerous occasions but just cannot get off my but and do it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10. What's your lasting inspiration or motivation?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hearing from you guys in comments or e-mails about posts you've liked and saying that you've followed or something. To think that people actually read this stuff I post is what WHAAAAT!? I also absolutely love fashion and make up and pretty things and love sharing things with other people and finding out about new things through reading other's blogs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;">Aaaaaaaand, that is it. I apologise again for my lack of blogging and hope that you'll forgive me haha. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;">Also, I tag anyone who is reading this right now to also do this tag</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;">Lots of love, Lucy </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
I'm slipping into bad ways and not posting! Blame uni, three weeks in and I'm already up to my neck in assignments (another 2000 words in for the start of March). On a side not, If you're still in school/ college enjoy it while you can, I remember complaining about the workload buy my gooosh If I'd have known the tens of thousands of words you have to write in Uni...<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway...So yes, me and some friends had a bit of a catchup and went out one evening. I forgot to take a picture beforehand as per usual but there were a few (shoddy) ones taken during the night and here is possible the one which shows most of my outfit.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nivea Regenerating Night Cream - Superdrug, £1.99. This stuff is suuuuuper amazing for the price! It's thick and so sinks in slowly, I wake up with super-dee-duper soft skin.</div>

<br />
This is a little bit of a random and different post to usual, but if you know me at all you will know I freaking love polar bears! So when the Coca-cola advert popped up onto the TV talking about their campaign/teaming with WWF to help against climate change, I was all ears.<br />
<br />
Coca-cola and polar bears go hand in hand, I'm not sure where it all started but there have been numerous adverts and such things with polar bears in and as they are such a massive world wide company, it is 'nice' of them to be helping conserve the icebergylands. The website they tell you to go to (<a href="http://www.arctichome.co.uk/">http://www.arctichome.co.uk</a>) asks you to share their campaign on Facebook, I never really get this. I mean if it means more people will donate, then fair enough, but people usually just like and share random things which quite frankly, does absolutely nothing. They have however gone a bit 'above and beyond' with the whole facebook share thing, giving people free use of facebook profile and cover pictures which promote the cause. <br />
<br />
They have a 'learn more' page which is pretty useful, talking about polar bears, global warming, WWF etc etc, it also states that WWF and Coca-cola have been in in partnership for a few years? They claim they are going to cut their emissions, conserve water and so on but their main thing seems to be promoting and raising awareness.<br />
<br />
One thing I do love about this whole thing is that Coca-cola are giving 1 million Euros (about £800,000) to WWF once a year for three years. They say how people's donated money will help...what it can buy, aka the usual.<br />
<br />
It's lovely to hear of a massive company doing something pretty big for a charity, although i'm sure the 3 million Euros (about 2.6 million pounds) will be a mere dent in Coca-colas mahooosive wallet, but is immensely helpful none the less. Everyone and their dog and their dogs dog and their mums know about climate change, but I like that they're hitting it from the "Polar bear's home is melting" angle instead of the "rising sea levels/freak weather/how it will affect us" angle.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Overall, I'm impressed. </span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Nice one, Cola :)</span><br />

<br />
I have like 50 hauls to do (bit of an exaggeration) but I've been to work and am utterly shattered and so have a bit of a back-log of pictures and posts, to fill that gap I thought I'd hop on the band wagon and do a '25 Facts About Me' post. <br />
<br />

<br />
1. I am a sweet maniac. I have to be in the mood for chocolate but I could eat sweets all day every day. My particular fave is giant sugared strawbs.<br />
<br />
<br />
2. I'm very English. My parents have done part of their family tree, the furthest afield we have come from is Birmingham, which is about a half hour drive away, which is sort of boring I'd like to be part Italian or Irish or something.<br />
<br />
<br />
3. My middle name is Elizabeth which is also the name of my nan's mum.<br />
<br />
<br />
4. I did ballet for ten years going twice-three times a week until the age of about 15-16 when I gave up for my GCSEs, I regret giving up so much.<br />
<br />
<br />
5. I am a little bit obsessed with Polar Bears, they're so beautiful and yet fierce and dangerous animals. My boyfriend adopted me a polar bear for Christmas. I love him haha.<br />
<br />
<br />
6. Talking about boyfriends. I have been with Liam for coming up to 11 months, which has whizzed by. He makes me laugh so much, he's my boyfriend and best friend in one.<br />
<br />
<br />
7. My favourite TV programmes are Big Bang Theory, New girl and Miranda. I'm a sucker for American TV and comedy things.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xZkW2_kvuLA/UQ1unsfYYuI/AAAAAAAACDk/mtbTbtTD4Oc/s1600/meish.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xZkW2_kvuLA/UQ1unsfYYuI/AAAAAAAACDk/mtbTbtTD4Oc/s640/meish.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
8. If I could be any superhero I'd be Superwoman (duuuuh ^^^^)<br />
<br />
<br />
9. I used to swim for my county and came first in breaststroke, (I also met Tony the Tiger aka the frosties mascot, at one swimming competition. True story) but if you were to throw me into a pool now I'd look like a drowning fly. I lose skills very quickly.<br />
<br />
<br />
10. I cry at EVERYTHING. I read a leaflet about childline earlier...started crying. Whenever I fall out with someone, hurt myself, read something sad etc etc I am a crying machine.<br />
<br />
<br />
11. Saying that however, I never cry in movies, I was the one out of my group of friends sat there feeling bad because I didn't cry during Marley and me. The only movie I have cried at is Toy Story three, but can you blame me?<br />
<br />
<br />
12. I am half way through my Degree at Uni and am studying Education Studies, it is so difficult and such hard work, but I guess that's the same for all degree courses.<br />

13. I actually think I have a clothes/ make up addiction. I live for trips to town and could easily spend hundreds in a single visit, I don't though, I some how find the will power. I get a massive buzz from buying new things and feel somewhat deflated if I come home from a shopping trip with nothing new.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
14. I love tea, I could live off solely drinking tea/ iced tea for the rest of my life. It doesn't matter if it's regular tea, extra strong tea, green tea, herbal tea...if it comes in a tea bag, I'll drink it. My particular favourite is the mint infused iced tea from Boston tea party.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
15. I'm not a vegetarian but I cannot eat any type of meat that does not come from a joint. for example, If my mum cooks a joint of beef for Sunday lunch, it's fine, or if we go out for sunday lunch and I get turkey and the man cuts it up off the joint, it's fine. But any meat in ready meals of from a take away or even if it's like chicken curry in a resturant...can't eat it...I'm odd.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
16. My friends often compare my personality to that of Eliot in Scrubs. I'm not really sure if that's a good thing, but I can see where they're coming from. I can be a bit wacky/kooky/wierd which i'm not always sure is a good trait haha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
17. I have asthma and have done since the age of three. I can remember being diagnosed. I have to take inhalers every day, but I wouldn't be me without it. Even if my best friend Han does sing the part from the Kylie Minogue song which goes "breathe, I know you find it hard but baby, breathe" to me...lots. </div>

18. I have serious issues about my nose. I never paid to attention to it untill maybe college when everyone seemed to have small little button noses. I wouldn't mind Ellie Goulding's nose because at least her's is small from the front, mine is like having a small planet on my face...enough about noses.<br />
<br />
<br />
19. I used to get bullied for being short, I was very short back in the day, but in about year 10 I shot up to 5 ft 8 being taller than all of them mwahaaa, although I'd rather be short lol.<br />
<br />
<br />
20. My first holiday away was with this bunch of girls (including me on the left) and another two not in the pic. We went to a little-ish town in Majorca called Santa Ponsa. It was amaaaazing!!!! I love my girlies crap loads. I've known some of them since reception (aged 4) and the others have joined along the way.<br />

21. In school my friendship group consisted of about 25 people, during the summer between finishing school and starting college in 2009, we spent every day together, it has been the best summer of my life so far.</div>

24. I'm painfully shy, like painfully. When I was little, if there was a family gathering at my grans, I used to run in and hide behind the sofa. I love meeting new people and making friends but I sometimes find it really hard. It has definitely improved with age though. I care much less about what people think nowadays.</div>

25. And finally...what else can I talk about except Lucyloves? Still not sure about the blog title...but I love my little blog, I've always wanted a YouTube channel but all beauty gurus seem to be so beautiful and they still look amazing with no make-up on. But my blog is my escape and I love reading other people's blogs. Even though I often think mine is pretty crappy, I just love writing about make up and clothes and things which I love stupidly lots. So please feel free to follow me *wink wink*</div>

<br />
If you're a YouTube nut like me, you may know of Macbarbie07, a lovely girl called Beth who is a pretty damn well known beauty guru. She recently posted a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Or3QTBmIKw&list=UUc6W7efUSkd9YYoxOnctlFg&index=4" target="_blank">video</a> on how to make hair bows using glue. I unfortunately do not own fabric glue or a hot glue gun and have no haberdashery in town which sells it, I therefore had to use the good old fashioned needle and thread to make mine. I thought I'd show you a DIY on how I made them just because they're so lovely and pretty simple to make. I'm sorry if my instructions and/or pictures are a little confusing...feel free to ask me any questions regarding this little DIY project :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RUlAnfloXyU/UQmt2Okr7-I/AAAAAAAACBU/KTWxj5RwJmY/s1600/Bows1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RUlAnfloXyU/UQmt2Okr7-I/AAAAAAAACBU/KTWxj5RwJmY/s640/Bows1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
1. Firstly you want to start by choosing any fabric, I'm using an old much loved blouse from Primark which fell to pieces. The size is up to you but you want to cut the piece three times as high (up) and twice as long (side to side), as you want your finished bow to be. For example my finished bow is 8 cm by 15 cm, therefore I cut a piece 24cm by 30cm.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-57HvAswp69w/UQmt2kEWaYI/AAAAAAAACBY/6dyi_nyVu-4/s1600/Bows2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-57HvAswp69w/UQmt2kEWaYI/AAAAAAAACBY/6dyi_nyVu-4/s640/Bows2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
2. Once you have your piece of fabric, you want to fold it into thirds (think leaflet style). As shown in the first picture above, you will need to fold the one part across and then pin it, and then fold the other part across so that the second overlapped part completely covers the first. (I hope I'm making sense) Once you've done this, You need to thread a needle and tie a knot in the end and then do a running stitch to sew the material together. If you're unsure of what a running stitch is, it's just a simple in-and-out weaving motion (picture 2 above). You then need to knot the other end and cut off any excess thread.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PsBsMJAUs90/UQmt3CggB4I/AAAAAAAACBc/HUaopTuYavE/s1600/Bows3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PsBsMJAUs90/UQmt3CggB4I/AAAAAAAACBc/HUaopTuYavE/s640/Bows3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
3. Once your piece is sewn and is a third of the height it was before, it's time to fold lengthways. This bit's pretty simple, you just want to fold the two edges so that they meet in the middle. You might want to overlap them slightly but make sure that both halves are the same length. Once you're happy, pin one side and concentrate on this piece to start. Thread a needle and knot it and again do a running stitch this time sewing from top to bottom, before knotting the other side, hold the thread still and push the fabric so that it folds up creating the sort of pleated/gathered/ruched effect of a bow (picture 2 above). Fasten this and cut off excess thread.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DUk_GTUtITs/UQmt3g9w3BI/AAAAAAAACBw/OBoxtIcvBp0/s1600/Bows4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DUk_GTUtITs/UQmt3g9w3BI/AAAAAAAACBw/OBoxtIcvBp0/s640/Bows4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
4. Now that you've done that, your bow should look a little something like the first picture above. It's difficult to do this again with the other side and I found this was easier. That is, by doing a running stitch along the loose side and again ruching/gathering it and knotting the thread (picture two).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1Vj_T8_6SMs/UQmt4ASVoSI/AAAAAAAACBs/rnpiwxaoTkY/s1600/Bows5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1Vj_T8_6SMs/UQmt4ASVoSI/AAAAAAAACBs/rnpiwxaoTkY/s640/Bows5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. The next step is to fold this ruched edge into the centre and sew it down to form a bow shape. And there you have it! well sort of... But now your bow should look very much like a bow just, without the middle bit, which is what we need to do now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1NlCA2aJstM/UQmt4RVWnKI/AAAAAAAACB0/ngvim1lF8f4/s1600/Bows6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1NlCA2aJstM/UQmt4RVWnKI/AAAAAAAACB0/ngvim1lF8f4/s640/Bows6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. This part needs to be the exact length to go around the bow and to overlap a little and double the width. You want to do the same thing as you did in step 3, folding the two edges so that they meet in the middle and sew it together using a running stitch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ELxbqWfJsJk/UQmt5aqoLSI/AAAAAAAACB8/7hcEDApt1Sg/s1600/Bows7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ELxbqWfJsJk/UQmt5aqoLSI/AAAAAAAACB8/7hcEDApt1Sg/s640/Bows7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I folded the edges over a little to hem them and then sewed the one edge onto the back of the bow (remember to sew at the back so that the edges are hidden), you then want to wrap it around and sew the other end at the back overlapping the last one slightly. </div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--moW_jXWmNA/UQmt5zpFmBI/AAAAAAAACCI/Iz5zrxcqRd0/s1600/Bows8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--moW_jXWmNA/UQmt5zpFmBI/AAAAAAAACCI/Iz5zrxcqRd0/s640/Bows8.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then you have actually finished you bow! My one above looks a tad messy, although you can always sew so that the stitch can't be seen from the front. My thread was near the same colour and this was only my second experiment and so is not the best. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are just a few ideas of what you can use them for, but of course go crazy and do whatever you like, within reason, don't like feed them to your cat or anything (I literally just read that back like 'what the hell Lucy', I'm having a 'Jess from New Girl' day, saying stupid things, too funny to take out though, or so I feel)...</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z-Pebcu4cfk/UQmt6Q0v7iI/AAAAAAAACCQ/2jTVDJKYMJs/s1600/Bows9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z-Pebcu4cfk/UQmt6Q0v7iI/AAAAAAAACCQ/2jTVDJKYMJs/s640/Bows9.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The way I've styled mine is to just stick a kirby grip through the middle part as a simple way to use it as a hair accessory. Although I also attempted one sewn onto a hair bobble which can then be used as either a bobble or a bracelet. Another idea is to jazz them up a bit using whatever you have lying around, in my case some studs attached around the middle. Remember you can obviously make them as big or small as you like, they'd also make a lovely hand-made present. <br />

<br />
I wanted to look for some printed leggings and so went over to the Forever 21 website but obviously while I was there ended up spending like another £30 on things I didn't need but fell in love with (oops!!). I hope you enjoy my little hauly. If you want to see a picture of anything being worn/ how I style it, please ask :) I've linked each of the products of similar ones in some cases, below each pic.<br />

I loved this jumper, well I'm a massive jumper fan anyway but most of my other are white or grey or dark blue etc and I thought that this coral one would add a very welcome splash of colour during these colder months and I could then transition it into spring and possibly even cooler summer evenings because the knit is pretty holey. The website states that it's hi-lo but it really isn't, as you can see from my picture. </div>

This is a bit boring, but loads of things I own are either slightly sheer or have eyelets in or as in the jumper above, are somewhat see-through. I picked this little vest in nude because I find they are ideal for helping to maintain your modesty without it standing out overly. These come in a million and five colours (slight exaggeration), but it also says that they are the 'last few units'.</div>

I bought these extras to make the price over £50 so that I could get free P&P (any excuse!). Well I had already chosen the little owl necklace and the others came up to about the same price as postage and package and I gathered I'd rather have things like that, than pay for postage. My manicure scissors went missing and so these stainless steal ones are a welcome addition. The little compact mirror is pretty, that's my only explanation really. The adooorable little owl was an instant purchase it's aqua wings and sparkly tummy/eyes and antique gold coloured chain made it love at first sight.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And so onto the leggings. Although being fairly cheap I always find Forever 21 things to be of a pretty good quality. They had loads of patterned leggings but these two pairs caught my eye and I decided that they would go with a range of things in my wardrobe. This first pair are a purple/lilac/pink/green/white combo and so will go with any of those colours really. I can't wait to pair them with boots and jumpers now and then t-shirts and ballet shoes in spring :D.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
These ones are black with coral and yellow and purple and green and white...and so again will go with a range of colours. I also like the fact that these are black-based. To me it makes them feel a little less summery. Planning on pairing these with the coral jumper, helloo new outfit!! They also had these in a white-based legging with the coral and yellow colour and another with blue flowers. I really do recommend these, they're fab quality, not see-through in the slightest.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And finally is this black hi-lo ish top (apologies for the crappy pictures). I have this in small but it is pretty baggy, so if you generally prefer a tighter fitted top, i'd suggest sizing down. The front is plain black but the back has this sheer triangular drape type section which makes it much more interesting. This again comes in a few colours.</div>

<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">And that is all. I really lover forever 21, they said on their website orders might arrive late because of adverse weather conditions but nooope, I ordered on the 22nd and they came on the 24th! although I wasn't in and so they delivered them again today. Have any of you guys bought anything from forever 21 recently?</span></div>

It was mine and Liam's friend's Birthday on Friday and that meant a night out amongst snow and freezing air. We only went to a few pubs though so I didn't have to wear anything too over-the-top dressy. </div>

I still enjoyed as much as snow day though, having numerous snow fights and attempting to build a snowman. I love it when you go to sleep and everything is normal outside and then you wake up to what can only be compared to Narnia. Almost every school in my county has been closed and I ensure you, if it is like this tomorrow I shall go sledding after work, might even sled home from work! Heres a little collection of pictures taken on this very magical day :) <br />

<br />
Soooo Yesterday was a pretty 'do nothing' day but I decided to do something which I have seen floating around the blogosphere and that is taking a picture every hour from When I wake up until bed time. This isn't super exciting because nothing that extraodinary happened, but it's a sort of, follow me around for a day thing and it took rather a lot of 'OOH AN HOURS GONE, PICTURE TIME' and editing and whatever else and so I hope you guys like it...<br />

</div>
I hope you are all having a fantastic Wednesday and I thought today I'd do a bit of a benefit skincare review for all you lovelies. I had these as a Christmas Present and they are super lovely. Benefit's skincare range is less talked about than their make-up. In general they smell really nice I can't tell you what it is, I'm really bad at picking out notes in smells but it's light and florally.<br />

This is the Let There Be Bright set I've already talked about the pore fessional primer in a number of posts so I'll concentrate mainly on the moisturisers and eye creams today :)</div>

The first think is this 'Triple performing facial emulsion' which claims to protect, hydrate and comfort. It's a really thin sheer liquid which is oil free, I reckon this would be good for use in the summer when you don't want anything overly heavy. It soaks in really well and gives the skin a smooth feel. I have dry skin and usuauly use a pretty intense moisturiser but this smells so amazing I wanted to use it, it also says it has a 'tri-radiance' complex which helps to capture water and keep it on the skin's surface. I thought it would be pretty good at moisturising but after a week I was getting dry patches which went when I went back to using my usual one. So I guess this isn't quite moisturising enough for me :( I will still use it though do not worry :L. I thoroughly recommend this for those of you with oily skin. It retails for £19.50 so not all that bad for the price either. </div>

I LOVE this stuff!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The It's Potent eye cream claims to help fade dark circles and smooth fine lines. Both me and mum suffer from dark circles and the benefit lady told us it takes around two weeks to start seeing a difference, mum used a small tester size for around a month and her dark circles faded quite a bit. It contains lots of fruit extracts and different things which do different things (I know, my explanations are rather amazing). It seems to be less fragranced for the eye area which I like and is somewhat peach in colour which helps those dark circles. Overall, recommend for anyone and everyone and their mums, aunties, grans, nans, sisters, daughters, nieces...dads?</div>

This stuff is lovely, I just wish it was in a bigger jar, I may have to invest, but for £26.50 I'm not sure if my pockets will allow me. This is a much thicker consistency than the face emulsion, think night cream/a little thinner than body butter, and is for 'normal to dry skin' which is meee! It has the same tri-radiance complex thingy and also had mango butter in it. It smells luuuurvely! But I'm not sure I can justify spending that much. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall I am pleasantly surprised by the benefit skincare range and really want to try other things like their face wash and spot treatment. All range from sort of £10 for a set of samples to £26.50 for the total moisture cream. I do suggest having a look though, it feels very luxurious and looks it with amazingly pretty glass bottles and cork-style lids. I would say, as far as I can see with these, you do pay for what you get, especially with the eye cream I know of many very expensive eye-creams which either do the same or less. They do obviously do sample sizes. so if you're interested but a little apprehensive I do suggest picking up some of those. For example <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk/product/view/b-right-radiant-skincare-by-benefit-6-piece-intro-kit" target="_blank">THIS</a> set :)</div>

Sooooo last Monday was my 20th Birthday and I had a lovely day staying at home with my family and then going out with Liam in the evening for a meal and movie (Life of Pi is AMAZING). I also had a load of lovely presents of family, family friends, and my besties. Cue the pic...</div>

I am a Soap and Glory addict like 90% of the female population and so was rather excited when I opened this off my uncle. It came in a rather large zippy bag (bottom left) and contained a load of goodies. My godmother bought me the Beyonce heat perfume set which is actually really lovely.</div>

A family friend bought this models own bag to our house one day, I tried peeking on numerous occasions but she's sellotaped it all up. I'm still excited looking at it now because I've never really paid much attention to anything modelsown except for nailvarnish and my eyelash curlers but this little bag of goodies contained a nail file, nail clippers, super pigmented eyeshadow powder thingys, a lipgloss, liquid eyeliner, nail art pen, lip liner, eye liner, 2 nail varnishes, a lipbalm and eye shadow applicators. HECK YES! I can't wait to try them all out now that these pics have been taken. I also got a beautiful Cath Kidson wash bag which has been used many times already.</div>

These are all presents off my bestests which came in a very lovely princess/castle bag. They bought me three pairs of socks (two not in this pic) a lovely frame with a picture of the five of us in and a realll lovely Pandora charm. We always put either 10-20 pounds each depending on the age and buy a group present which results in amazing presents like these! And if they ever read this... LOVE YOU ASHY, SOPH, HAN AND AB!</div>

I had two nights out. One was my offish Bday night out in which I wore the bottom left dress and amazingly sparkly shoes, and the second was a Saturday which usually equals mega high entrance fee of like £10 and extra expensive drinks prices, however our main club sends out 'free entry and Q-jump' tickets on your Birthday to use on a Saturday and so it had to be done! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The dress in the top left picture is from Miss Selfridge and was in the region of £35-£40.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The bottom left dress was from House of Fraser in the sale for £22</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the AMAZING shoes were from New Look for £6!! I KNOW. I love them! </div>

<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Thanks for reading guys. I feel I've been mainly showing you presents recently and talking about Christmas, which is 11 months and 10 days away btw (EEK) but not to fear, my constant assignment writing and like 10500 words have all been handed in YAAAAAAAAY, and so I shall be reviewing many things in the coming few weeks and also hopefully doing some hauls and OOTD/Ns.</span></div>

Firstly are some Ted Baker goodies which I got off my cousin and family. I'm always a fan of anything smelly and I like the Ted Baker scent, it also came in a lovely magnetic wash bag.</div>

These are 2 sets of lipbalms, three are Hello Kitty and three are Cute or What. They are real nice colours as you can possibly see in the close-ups. The top one has multi-coloured glitter in and the other two have gold and iridescent blue glitters.</div>

This is just a bit of a mash up of lovely things which I received The first is a Ted Baker bag which I got off my Uncle. The second is a Betty and Walter set off Mum and Dad which came with the most amaaaazing Elderflower and Lemon hand cream along with a little double sided mirror, a nail file and rose scented lip balm and ofcourse the make up bag. I absolutely love Betty and Walter things, they look really lovely and vintage. The third picture are some other bits and pieces all of my parents including the New Years Eve DVD, Books, Colouring books, sweets and crayons (I am 20, not 12, promise!) and also some M&S shimmery 'smellies' from my mums friend.</div>

This bad boy I was super excited to see on Christmas morning. It is the Benefit 'Let there be bright' which includes full sized triple facial emulsion which is like an intensive moisturiser, full sized It's Potent eye cream, a 'luxury' sample sized Pore Fessional and a sample sized total moisture face cream. I am a mad fan of Benefit and they smell amazing. I may well do a review of these.</div>

I had this on my Christmas list and I love them. I was an avid user of the brown smoulder khol before and so was dying for this. The other colours are beautiful and the eye shadows are pretty damn pigmented and creamy. </div>

This is a Jerome Alexander make-up stack which my Auntie and Uncle bought me, I'm pretty unfamiliar with the brand but they seem to be pretty expensive and make lots of mineral things, which would explain the mineral bronzer and blush. </div>

And finaaaaally, the new love of my life, my Michael Kors rose gold watch! I love this soooooo much and have wanted it for ages, we bought back in like September or something and Christmas couldn't come quick enough. It's really beautiful and I know it's going to last me many many years :)</div>

<br />
Soo i'm in love with my benefit erase paste but it's never really lasted very long under my eyes and after a few hours it's back to old dark circle eyes soooo I picked up Soap and Glory's Kick Ass Concealer in the shade 'light' for £10 in Boots and so far am rather impressed. It contains two concealers, one peachy in tone to conceal under eye blue-ness and the other more yellowey to cover spots. It also has a translucent powder which the box calls a sealing powder, so my guess is that it prolongs wear. <br />
<br />
The pics below show my eye and red blemishes (i share way too much with you guys) before and after the concealer along with numerous swatches and photos of the packaging.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">RATING- </span>8/10 I've only used it a handful of times and so yet to know if its a ten out of ten wonder product but so far im pretty darn impressed. It seems to cover up well and matches my skin tone almost perfectly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">REPURCHASE?</span> Most certainly, it is a little pricey for a high street/ drugstore concealer but hey, you pay for what you get right?</div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">I would love to know your favourite concealer for under eye circles as mine are a right pain!</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Love you lots! Lucy xxx</span></span><br />

<br />
so one week and 6 days after Christmas Day (much to my parents annoyance) is my Birthday. And Liam (aka my gorgey bf) spoilt me rotten. <br />
<br />
Some things not in the pic are the new girl box set and Sarah Millican DVD, they're at his so we can watch them together.<br />
<br />
I'm still like 7years old in my brain and LOVE tangled, so when I opened this 'tangled ever after' book, i just almost cried. He also got me the fun album, I'm a massive fun fan and now I can put their album on my iPad yaaay. The next beaut is a 'wonka selection in a jar' which is quite simply a jar full on wonka sweets there are nerds, nerds and more nerds, giant nerds, nerds on a robe, laafy taffy (yum), shockers, bottle caps, kazoos, gobstoppers, runts, giant sweettartsnand a crap load of other things. I'm a massive sweet fan, like I'd rather have sweets than chocolate anyday (anyone else like that too?) so this is possibly the best present anyone could buy me, except for my 'big present' when I saw it just :O I GOT RAY BANS!!!! They are the Erika make and are cream with a gorgey dark brown to blue lens. I love them sosososososososososososososooooo much and I am just gob smacked that he got them for me!! <br />
<br />
So that is what Liam got me (and I love him crap loads) and I will soon be posting what I got off family and friends and also what I got for Christmas.<br />
