December Days

Hi there!

           Forgot to post about this, we've both been really busy! 

The other day, I went round my very funny Nanna & Grandad's house with my little brother to have a cosy day in while it was raining outside. I don't think there is quite anything better, and it's a plus that they have the prettiest, nicest & tidiest house I've ever set foot in! 

Here's a few pictures from the day!

Miracle on 34th Street is definitely one of my fave Christmas movies!

I wore a Fuschia Primark Shirt, which was reduced to just £3, a sequined Dorothy Perkins collar, which I bought in last year's sales for £1! (Reduced from £12.50!) and my New Look High Waisted Jeans, £12.99. My rather festive socks were from a small shop in South Shields.

Hope you all had some nice December Days!

December Buys

Hey guys! This is just a quick post about the stuff I bought when I went sale shopping yesterday. I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with sales, as you can find some pretty good bargains, but it's always busy, your size is probably not there and you've got to be there bright and early if you want to catch the best things. 

Anyhoo, here's what I managed to get yesterday!

Snow Fairy Shower Gel, £3.10, Lush

I love this! I wanted it so badly when my friend showed me it back in November, but wasn't committed to paying the full price! There is a huge 50% off sale on in there too, so go treat yourself! And this smells of candy floss and pear drops. Need I say no more?

Popcorn Lip Scrub, £2.87, Lush

I've heard good things about these Lush Lip Scrubs, so decided to try one out. They are really good for dry lips, and make lipstick look a MILLION times better! I got the popcorn flavour, which also tastes very nice haha, but you can also get the likes of Mint and Bubblegum!

Gold Chain Necklace, £7, Topshop

Thank The Lord I found one of these! After searching high and low for one at a decent price for well over two months, I found this one and its perfect! It was originally £14 and it was the only one left and it had a half price sticker on so I thought why not! It's a little more than I would usually pay for something like this, but I'll be wearing it a lot so it's worth it! I still haven't decided whether to keep the netting on or not though...

Angel Earrings, £1.20, and Mini Hoop Earrings, £1.00

You may remember these from an earlier post about stocking fillers...well I got them! I called them Sassy and Bonquisha and they are so cute and everyone else hates them but I love them! The mini hoops were sort of an impulse buy because they were so cheap. I was worried in case they would look 'chavvy' but they don't look too bad, and look quite good on my helix piercing. Bonus!

Cinderella Dress Up Erasers, £1.69, Disney Store

HOLY POTATOES I LOVE THESE. Why haven't I seen these before!? You can DRESS UP your rubbers? They are also available in Rapunzels and Belle if you fancy them :-)

Thanks for reading this post and let us know if you've tried any of the above for yourself!

 It looks like its going to be a pretty nice day today so we'll see you soon!

Ro Ho Ho!

 

Merry Christmas to all our readers out there! 

We both hope you had the most wonderful day ( we certainly did!). Here's a few pictures from my day, not including my mam and dad as those ones are rather embarrassing! I'll upload some more once I find them! Lets get fat :-)

Enjoy xo

It Was Christmas Eve, Babe

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, I went to see Home Alone at the cinema with my dad and brother, which was SO FUN!

We went to the Metrocentre, which is a huge shopping centre where we lived, and I was lucky to get first dibs in the Topshop sale! Woohoo!

On Christmas Eve, we always go with our cousins to Christingle at the Church on the Hill, which is possibly the cutest Church ever! All the children recieve an orange ( which represents the world) four sticks with sweets on ( which represents the four seasons ) and a glowing candle in the middle ( which represents Jesus and the light he brought to the world). We sang our fave carols, and got front row seats too, being the VIPs we are!

Who doesn't love New Xmas PJS!?

I love the excitement on Christmas Eve, it never gets old! You can't forget to sprinkle your reindeer food out the front door though, Rudolph gets hungry too!

Here's a sneak peek extra video of Olivia and I jousting in Makro the other day. We also got paper-bombed by a 7 year old and found a unicorn called Jimmy. What a guy.

Have a very merry Christmas!

Hey guys, as you all know its Christmas eve here in England I just wanted to say that me and rebecca hope you all have a wonderful Christmas wherever you are in the world! I doubt any of us will be able to update roro as we will be both very busy but we promise to do a Christmas haul with our dear friend Katie!

Anyways, have a lovely Christmas and I hope you get everything you wanted haha!

Christmas wishes,

Love Olivia :)x

December

I found this somewhere on Tumblr, and I think it is really sweet.

If you've fallen out with anyone, or wanted to accomplish a goal by the end of the year, there's still 9 days left of 2012, so make the most of it! 

I've had one of the best years ever, and I hope you have too!

Merry December!

Christmas Wishes,

It Ain't The End of the World

Hey guys! Everyone still alive? Good stuff.

     

We've had a great day today, and it's just an extra that its now officially the CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS! 

(insert celebratory twerk here)

2 whole weeks of freedom! Anyway, it was great giving people their presents, and everyone was in such a good mood today! 

The only downside was saying goodbye to our good friend who is moving to the other side of the world :-( 

It made us appreciate how many AMAZING friends we have, and that we should never take anyone for granted. 

Here's a video of us after school singing the one and only Mariah Carey classic (fab,right?):

Hope you are all in the festive spirit too!

A Christmas Day Out

After school today, me, Rebecca and KT from typicalteenagegirl101.blogspot.co.uk went shopping for a few bits and bobs for christmas :-) 

It was a lovely day out as we finished early at school and it was even better feeling the Christmassy chilled weather and spirit spreading through Newcastle!

We also visited Fenwicks window (courtesy of Rebecca) and danced to the joyful Christmas music playing from the displays.

Not only did we get some Christmas shopping done, we also visited 'Cruise' which is full of all the designer handbags and shoes and just down right beautiful stuff! Very expensive also :-( 

I managed to get some sneaky photos of some of the clothes, handbags and shoes which, unfortunately, none of us could afford!  One of the Gucci bags were REDUCED to £1,500. I say, REDUCED.  

Here's another video of Newcastle:

Merry Christmas! Have you wrapped all your presents yet?

Santa Darlin'

Why am I, of all people, doing a nail tutorial? 

   Despite having hundreds of nail varnishes, I normally find doing more intricate designs rather tricky.

 I can't be the only one who goes into a state of frustration and slight despair when that one perfect nail smudges? Annoying, right?

 I wouldn't quite call this a 'tutorial' ( I'll leave that to the pro beauty blogs ) but more of a nail inspiration. Yeah, I like that better. So out my lil Santa-style nails!

I tend to use this Bambi Sandalwood Hand Cream before painting my nails as it keeps them moisturised and easier to coat, but I use it every day too. It was only £1.99 from H&M, which is completely worth it as it smells DELICIOUS!

I also use a buffer block before applying two coats of Rimmel Movie Star Red, but only painting one third of the ring finger.

Once that has dried, if you don't have proper nail gear like me, use a hair grip to dip in the white nail varnish ( I'm using Calvin Klein) to dot along underneath the red on the ring finger to create the fluff on Santy's hat!

After all of your nails are looking festively fab, use a glossy top coat, like Avon Top Coat, to make sure your design doesn't smudge and stays sassy all week long!

Hope you enjoyed this 'nail inspiration' and have fun trying it out!

Ho Ho Ho

P.S. Check out these two amazing Geordie lasses ( girls from Newcastle ) with their cover of Santa Baby! I love it haha! Xo

Winter Accessories

At this time of the year everybody needs the perfect winter accessories! Whether it's hats, scarves, gloves, mugs, you name it, everybody has that one special thing they have or need every winter. For me, its the good ol' hat and scarf. A couple of years ago, my mam bought me this dark red, burgundy scarf which is called a snood. It's one of those super duper long ones that you can wrap around your neck for ages haha. When I first got it, I never really wore it but this year... I am absolutely LOVING it!

 It's just so warm, and cozy! For you all that do not own one, you MUST get one! You'll love it, trust me! As well as a 'snood' person, I am also a 'beret' person. I find it's probably one of the only hats that will actually suit me and they're just so lovely :-) I have many different beret's but this is by far my fave! It's just simple, black with a hint of sparkle and at the front there is a little clear rhinestone which just brings it all together. 
  

Oh Rebecca, the oh so beautiful Rebecca...

Here me and Rebecca are both sporting beret's (Can't really see Becky's though, it's hiding at the back of her head!) on the 1st of december when we went to see the beautiful Rizzle Kicks! (The beret, is also mine haha!)

(My other favey beret for y'all, the one Rebecca was wearing!)

The trusty denim winter jacket :-)

Here in England, it has been so so so cold lately (ha, when is it not!?) so I've ended up going out to school with more things on than I usually would. I live about 15 minutes away from school so I always have to get the car which I don't mind but I still have to walk about 5 minutes to actually get into the school and even then I'm shivering! Because it's normally like -1 walking to school, I have now started wearing a scarf, gloves and a thick jacket. Right now, I am absolutely loving this chilly, duck egg blue sort of colour and fortunate for me, mother Candler has a pair of cozy gloves in the colour that is so perfect for winter!

I have no clue where they're from but I'm sure if you look around you could get a pair just like this or very similar.

Winter is the time to whip out your old ugly Christmas scarf and bring it back into season! I love wrapping up all warm and snug in my favorite hat and scarf and so should you! I think it's time ladies to rummage at the back of your wardrobe and make it into something new. 

Merry Christmas everyone!
