ahhh the mad all niters hav finally died down!..iv still got two more to go though a 2000 word review and a diary to write... been up either all nite or till 5am doin my uni work everyday for the past two weeks... handed the film and design work now so so much work!! the crit for the design wasnt so bad was really nervous at first didnt know what to say. my flat work is disgusting and needs lots of work. at least the tutor never mentiond anythin about the flat work. For my tshirt she liked my colour and concept though, didnt think she would for it being really messy i think i can do wayy better....>.< only thing she really said was its a little too long and its like a cross between a dress and a tshirt. =.= oh well lol it handed in now....

heres the garment.. the pictures are taken during the filming.

A couple of weeks ago me an tom was in london and he was interested in the abercrombie and fitch clothes. I was talking about it at work wondering why i see alot of people wear it in manchester. It seems so popular when theres only one store in uk in london and it only opened recently-december 2009. Then i was told that the new store called Hollister in traford centre are by Abercrombie and Fitch so that is why there are alot of people wearing it. i checked it out on the internet and it does say that Hollister is the sisterhood of A&F.

Sunday 11th

I took a treck to trafford centre i wanted to get somthing and surprise tom tell him we dnt hav to go all the way to london. There was a sign sayin Hollister Co by A&F went in and the layout and style was exactly the same as the A&F store in london the clothes are too BUT nothing was A&F...hav i been fooled >.<

I decided to buy something to treat myself instead and thought of a new moisturizer as iv just ran out. Ive been using the Dramatically Different moisturizing lotion by clinique i think this works it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth but the only thing is it feels too liquidy...wen it has been absorbed into the face it feels like its gone and that i need to moisturize again.

i wanted to use something else and i bought the MAC Moisturelush cream. i was recomended the Studio moisture cream aswell but the sales said the studio moisture is for like skin that needs some moisture and the moisturelush is for more of a dry skin it will keep it hydrated all day. i have really dry flakey skin so i decided to get the moisturelush i have used it for the past two days it feels greasy and oily but my skin isnt shiny,greasy or look oily at all its only when you touch it. not sure if this will work for me yet but ill keep trying it.
