21st Birthday

Okay, so Ive really really been slacking on the whole blogging business for a little while and I haven't even blogged about my birthday that I have just celebrated .. it was my 21st woop woop go me, can't believe I have lasted this long. Anyways for my main celebrations for my birthday I went to China White with some of my best bitches.. minus rhea because she is currently in Spain, but she was there in spirit !!

Oh and you know i was having so much fricking difficulty finding a dress for my birthday, i found one!! I was in Topshop in st albans ( where I'm from ) with my mum and I was getting more and more pissed off because it was getting late and the shops were closing and i needed a dress for the next day, anyways, searching around topshop, now i don't mind the odd piece from there but alot of the time i do think it is just overpriced shit so i didn't really think i was going to find anything in there then i found THIS BEAUTY

You know when you fall in love with something, you just gotta have it!! I was just walking around the shop hugging it, Anyways, its not from Topshop its like one of their concessions and it is from inLovewithfashion, you can visit there site here . I think it was around £50 but i am so so so in love with it !!
I was literally so lucky it was the only one and was in my sizeeeeee.... match made in heaven!! anyways i have been looking on their site and they have some really lovely stuff so go check that out by clicking on the image below girlie's!

Anyways, erm I'm just going to upload some pictures of what we ended getting up too in London.

The classiest of bitches... as always.

Finishing off with ' Cups of the rose'

The next day I went for a lovely meal with my mum, sister, nan and two aunties and got some really lovely presents from them, My aunt Julie got me this beautiful skirt from Riverisland, I shall take a photograph of me in it as soon as it is hot enough weather, i cannot wait to pair it up with some wedges and a basic white t

She was also a complete babe and had looked on my blog and seen the pink rabbit purse that i had mentioned before and got me that !!
From my mum and dad i got my rose gold Micheal Kors watch which i am completely and utterly in love with, ill post a picture of it a bit later but Ive gone on about it so much on my blog i think you all know which one I'm talking about ;)

My sister got me a gorgeous silver bracelet from a little boutique in Brighton and from alot of my other members of family I got money :) which is always great.

Theeeeeeeeeeeeeen on Tuesday.. it was only one thing... TUESDAYBOOZEDAY with my soton bitchezz!! It was so lovely because Taya decorated the living room with birthday girl banners and balloons while all my girlie's dressed up and we got drunk on crunk!! I also got a hugggge bottle of perfume from my two bestiess sock and megstar

Okay, so theres not alot of photographs from this night as it ended kinda early as we were all kinda written off by about one!!

Thank you to everyone who made my 21st Birthday weekend special!!

Alex Box Demonstration

I am currently in my third year at Southampton Solent on course of hair and makeup design, Although I don't want to go into makeup design after I have finished university, the course has really helped me excel in expressing my ideas visually, and this final year has been really good because i have been able to do exactly what interests me in the fashion industry and I shall hopefully have an amazing portfolio and final major project to help me get to where I want to be after university, although I'm not too sure on what direction that will be...anyways, today at university we had a demonstration by the amazing Alex Box who is a  Makeup Artist and is one of the founders for the British makeup brand Illamasqua. Alex Box late last year was awarded a honorary degree doctor of design at Solent for pushing the boundaries with her visionary style.  If you havent heard of Illamasqua I would really suggest giving their website a check out because their makeup products are fantastic. CLICK HERE FOR ILLAMASQUA WEBSITE

Back to the point Alex Box did a demonstration today in one of Solents lecture theatres creating a free styled look on a model. There are really no words for what it was like, she had over 100 girls sitting at her in awe of her while she applied the makeup to her model for just over an hour compltely free hand. 

Alex played a selection of music throughout the demonstration and it was really interesting to see how the look developed while the music genre changed, Alex later on told us that she is always listening to music while doing makeup and the look was changing in the mood of the music. 

So, here are a few of the photographs i got today from the demonstration, ill try to put them in order so you are able to see the development of the look throughout 

The photographs dont really show how amazing this work was, like everything about the skin was so perfect, it looked air brushed, all the colours where blended so perfectly and created an almost alien like face that was so beautiful!!

 Along side with these images, heres a few Illamasqua products on my wish list !!

 Hope you enjoyed this post, get on the illamasqua website and treat yourself to at least one thing!!!

Get to know me

So I have been a really bad blogger recently, everyones been on at me on tumblr telling me to get my act together and get blogging again! Sorry, my head has been somewhere else ( where...? im not too sure) Anyways I have been getting busy with my final major projct for university so thats why I have been busy, I have also just had my 21st Birthday, which im going to do a huge blog about maybe tomorrow or thursday and show you loads of pictures and other shit e.g presents blablabla... ermm what else has been happening in my life, oh I got a 2:1 for my dissertation.. fuckyeahwinning. Okay its not a 1st but a 2:1... HYFR! anyways this is just a quick post that I saw on another blog so i thought i would copy, its a kinda.. get to know me blogging kinda thing soo, here goes..

This is me.

1. Are you named after anyone?

Nope, i have no interesting nice story about why my name is Jessica, I wish i was named after someone, or maybe after a song or something.. im going to ask my mum tomorrow why they named me jessica and then update this

2. When was the last time you cried?

I cried last night.. I know boohoo poor me. No I think i've been holding back a good cry in ages, before yesterday I havent cried in months and I think last night everything just got the better of me so I had a 5 minute frantic cry then I felt alot better straight after... holding in your emotions is not healthy kids

3. Do you have kids?

Nope.

4. If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself?

Erm, i know most people will probably answer this with yes, but I would befriend myself I think, I know i make daft decisions, get really drunk and sometimes need to be carried home and I bore alot of my friends with my weekly moans but I like to think that I'm a good friend to my close friends, if they need me I'm always there. I'm not perfect and I'm kinda selfish but I would never ever intentionally hurt one of my friends

5. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Not really, i only ever use sarcasam when someones being stupid or cocky.. there was a time when I was in school and everyone and I mean EVERYONE spoke sarcastically all the fucking time, no one ever ever ever ever said any thing sincerly so after that I think sarcasam kinda died for me.

6. Will you ever Bungee Jump?

Noooo, I always have the fear that I would smash me head in... but I am planning on doing a Sky dive at some point this year... which is probably more likely the reason I'll smash me had in

7. What's your favorite cereal?

Special K, All day.

8. What's the first thing you notice about people?

 In the oppersite sex im quite shallow, and apperance is everything to begin with, i like nice dressed guys, with good teeth and good hair... but if their personality is wank or their a knob head then they could be trey songz and it wouldnt be appealing.

9. What is your eye colour?

Bluey Grey

10. Scary movie or happy endings?

Happy ending, im a sucker for a rom com, the whole meet each other fall in love, someone does a dickheady kinda thing then they dont speak then the one who was a dickhead makes up by doing some romantic gesture like flying across the world to stop their wedding then they live happily ever after

11. Favorite smells?

I love petrol.

12. Summer or winter?

Summer, just because of the heat. I used to like winter because i always thought winter fashion was alot better but when i think about it.. its not.. i wanna get my legs out. Plus summer means, later nights, bbqs, jaques cider, garden parties trips to the beach blablabla and winter means... cuddeling up with your boyfriend.. and if you dont have a boyfriend you cuddle up to a hot chocolate and sing ' All By Myself'

13. Computer or television?

Computer, i love tumblr, i love facebook, i love blogger and i can watch tv on here. In all honestly i probably need to get a bit more of a life. 

14. What's the furthest you've ever been from home?

Erm, America? I went to miami and new york with my best bitch rhea about two years ago and thats the furthest ive been without my parents... it was amaaaaaazing.

15. Do you have any special talents?

I click my bones.. not like just fingers like i can click my neck,nose,back,shoudler blades,knees... i wouldnt really say it was a special talent.. more of a wierd one

Fashion Sites

So it is my 21st Birthday on Monday the 5th and I have been searching the internet like a crazy woman trying to find the perfect dress for my little birthday get together on saturday at either Anaya or China White.. I havent exactly decided which club I want to go to.. Anyways, I have been searching Asos, Topshop, Boohoo, Riverisland on a daily basis.. I dont even know why.. I have some crazy idea that these shops know its my birthday and they are currently changing their stock to keep up with my needs.. Anyways on my little search I have found some amazing new ( well new to me anyways ) womans fashion websites that I am completely IN LOVE WITH!! I know how annoying it is when your searching through the same old websites looking at the sameish kinda stuff , so I have decided to share the websites I have found with you along with some of the items that I adore!!

First website is : Ella Tino

This was the first website I came across and I adore it, the dresses are on trend and at very reasonable prices.. A few of my favorite peices that I shall be buying as soon as money hits my account..

Black Poka Pussy Bow Blouse £19.99 - Anyone that knows me knows I am a big fan of over size blouses mixed with leggings and heels for a casual glammed up day look and this has already hit my wish list.

Light Beige Ankle Strap Platform - £34.99 - I currenly own a stupid ammount of heels but I think I have got into a habbit of buying just black heels.. I dont know why.. I just always think that they are perfect for every outfit, but I have seen these and fallen in love, especially with the price at £34.99 you really cannot go wrong with a classy beige heel which Im honestly considering to buy for my birthday, depending on what the dress I finally buy looks like.

I have also found these little bad boys in the sale for... £15.00.. Their sale is honestly out of this world, you can buy full on maxi dresses that you could wear to a wedding for £10.. These shoes are their brown chelsea ankle boot and their currently going into my basket!!

 

Second Website Is : Jonesandjonesfashion 

 The first item that needs to be adressed is this adoreable coat from Jones and Jones Fashion, I mean honestly look how frickin' cute it is. I have always wanted a pink coat but I havent wanted to walk around looking like a marshmellow, but NOW I HAVE FOUND ONE... it is absolutly beautiful and at £90 I think it is a real statement piece at a perfect price.. and I do love myself a bit of a statement item.

Where do i start with this image.. well firstly the amazing bronze candice skirt that the model is currently wearing. It is £45 and I dont think I have ever seen anything like it before, it is so unique which I love. What I love most is that you could just wear that with a basic long sleeved black top, walk into the party and you would already be the centre of attention.

What  I love about Jones and Jones fashion is that it really does have some gorgeous unique pieces that will make you stand out from the crowd. Im a very statement kinda girl, like I do wear alot of basic bits but I always try to have like one statement item that people go ' oh wow where did you get that from' so if your like me then get on this website and get browsing because it is honestly amazing.

 

Third and final website is : Little Mistress 

Now some of you may already know about Little Mistress because they currently are selling TOWIE stars Lauren Pope collection. Anyways I didnt know about Little Mistress untill a few hours ago and I have really found some lovely pieces on it 

 Right, I'm not a huge fan of blue I'm not going to lie to you BUT  I recently went out in a blue dress and got really complimented in it because of my skin tone and hair colour, although I did feel like Alice in Wonderland in it.. anyways I'm getting off the point, I do really like this top, I am a huge fan of leopard print and I think the collar really adds such a cute little edge to it. I think this would be great matched up with some really skinny black jeans and some heely boots.. The top only costs £24.99 and it looks just lovely.

Tana Tribal Leggings £15.00

Im loving these, their so bright fun and I think they would look great for festivals in 2012, I am currently invisioning just a simple black vest top tucked in and some brown suade boots and messy hair while jumpin' up and down at V. £15.. get in my life. 

 

anyways these are three websites that I have found and I'm so happy, it gets so boring looking at the same stuff over and over. Hope you have enjoyed this blog and looking at these websites, they really do have some lovely bits and bobs!!

Rheas 21st Birthday!

So the weekend just gone was my best mates 21st birthday, She is currently spending her time in Spain as part of her university course so I rarely get to see her.  We ended up squeezing four of us into a three bedroom hotel which over looked Hyde Park, very nice. I ended up at the hotel alot earlier than the rest of the girls so i decided to decorate the bedroom with balloons, banners, sequins and got her a birthday cake.

Sorry for the rubbish quality of the photograph, it is taken off my shitty blackberry. 

Anyways the girls got to the hotel about nine, the drinks started to get poured and the music was on. Was so nice to see two of the girls that I used to go to school  with, I rarely ever see them except for at rheas birthday or Christmas Eve. A relaxed rush to get ready and we were on our way to Bond.

We also set rheas birthday cake on fire, after Jessi decided to buy one of them huge sparkler things for it... this ended up in a very smokey room.

Anyways, here are a few photographs from the night we had..

I'll probs add some more when Rhea has decided to upload her photographs off her camera, so that could take up to 4 months likely .. hahaa! 

My dress is from Top shop...

AND ITS MY BIRTHDAY WEEKEND NEXT WEEKEND.. so expect some fun entries!

Hope my fave girl had an amazing weekend, miss you and love you xxx
