Nearly over....

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.



RRP.£22
Going to do some printing tomorrow, over 80 pages to print for my research file. Came to toms uni to print as its 25p a page and 40p at mine such a rip of and there are alot of design students in my uni and so expensive!!!
ooo and tom has a flying leson tomorow will go and watch him :)

holla for now mwah x :)

easter holiday...

thought i was gonna keep this blog going and up to date but big fat FAIL...its been over 2 months nearly 3 since i been on here...and only have one post! so sad... hmm okies ill try and make it long just to make up to it...

well its now the easter hols so iv got 3 weeks of...its going to be hell though so much deadlines to complete!! ive bin of 4 days now an still not got down to it...iv even deactivated FB for now :'( dunno how long i will last wif out it tho haha

ooo 19.2.10 went to london for the weekend was bo fan for valentines day with tom had such an adventure!! the apartment we booked for had sum problems so was transfered to sum hotel on the first nite and like Oh Em Gee it was so disgusting, small and expensive!! luckily we got the luxury apartment for the small apartment price :) was sooo nice!! wanna live there or sumthin like tht :):) went to the bape shop...think tom was a litle disappointed with the limited stock haha then we went to abercrombie and fitch store was PACKED!! ehh not my thing...bershka is more like it :) :D hehe got quite a few stuff from there....

anyway moving on 28.3.10 went to alton towers collected some tokens from the sun newspaper to get 2 free tickets :) the new Th13teen ride wasnt what i was expecting it, wasnt anythin special and not scary at all. the ques for other rides didnt have to wait tht long so manage to get on a few rides even though we left early. enjoyed the day out wif bb, he collected tokens too so hope we get to go agen in the summer maybe :) we left early so i cud get bk on time to bid on some tria markers on ebay. i won £122 for 90 tria markers! Bargain!! can learn to do sum gud illustrations now :)

today agen no work done and went yam cha at taiwu wif tom an his mammy i payed coz his mammy always cooks and make soup for me :) went to doctors after aswel for tom then opticians he has to wear glasses gona luck wierd on my lil pilot >.< i dnt think hes too happy about it :( well im not i think u needs to have perfect eyesite to be a big pilot :(:( oh nooo... hes been sayin b4 he wont be one but i still want him to be and try to encourage him...but he can still b a lil pilot :) booked opticians for me tomorow going to stop wearing contact now making my eyes worse :( no more colourd contacts...

oh oh i dont think i have mentioned that i have chosen to do design...i realised tht the styling wasnt what i want... at uni its more like image making an photography styling and not hair and make up or anythin like tht... and in the final yr i wudnt be able to join the excitment of being in the fashion shows :) atm in uni each 1st yr is set with a 3rd yr to help them out on there graduate collection... it looks soo intense but exciting theres loads to do!!! helping them out doing there work more than doin my own atm and i have 5 deadlines due str8 after easter!! arghh wish me luck!!
