collective 'hauling'

heyyyyyy worrrrrrrrrrrrld

*scroll to the bottom to read
about how you can win tickets to
the L.A. premiere of 'Eclipse'!!!

ANYWHO
'hauling' is still a slightly strange concept to me..
despite having watched/or read about plenty!

anyway, here are some things I got recently ☺


My mommmma got me these pretty coral earrings when she 
was away and she says they might be from a shop called 'orsay'
(which does really comfy, easy dresses too btw!)
but I've never seen one in the UK..they do have them in Europe
though methinks..definately Poland ☺
but I reckon there are plenty of shops on the UK high street that 
sell very similar ones..h&m, claire's, river island..I dunno! :P


This maxi moo is from..lo and behold..Primarni!
It was £9 and I haven't worn it out yet..
..and I'm, not sure when I will to be honest..
contemplating returning it...what do you think?
:s


A 'New Look' store opened near me recently
and as I was one of the first 25 (or something)
people to buy something, I got a £5 voucher
...sooo I only spent £1 on these flower slides
and (below) these floral clips:
I really like flowers in hair! 
hence these purchases!
I might give one set away as a present
when a friend's birthday comes up...
we shall see! -it was worth rushing to find
something to buy in order to get my
hands on that voucher! he he!

lastly, my amazon order of 'Skinny Bitch'
arrived! It's basically all about a vegan diet
and it sort of says that that's the only way
to lose weight but everyone knows that 
eating a bit of meat won't make you gain
10 stone in 10 minutes!
It's a bit intense, and I won't be going vegan
JUST yet...or giving up ice cream or
chocolate for that matter! ☻
An interesting read if you are into
nutrition, I suppose..(I've only read a few
pages though! so don't take my word for it!)

I hope you are all enjoying yourselves lovelies!
I only have two exams left, and they are in a
little under 2 weeks! so that means..a bit of
a break for me! hip hip hoorah!

ttyl!

* any TWILIGHT fans out there?
WELL, you can win tickets to the L.A.
premiere of Eclipse by taking a photo of yourself
in a red carpet outfit and posting it to claire's accessories:


I walked past claire's the other day and saw a poster for it!
It would be soooo fabulous to win! You can go into a
claire's store and get a little card which
you will need, to read a code to later type into
the contest form...I've been in two claire's stores
since and both codes have been 'ECLIPSE'
The comp closes this Friday!!!
[18.6.10!]
you have to be over 12 to enter
(ahhh, good ole claire's accessories)

Thought I'd let you ladies know,
in case you were fans..because I'd definately
want to know if I hadn't seen the poster!

Hugs,
Olenka

LC inspired look :)

I did some Lauren Conrad inspired 
(not copied so it's not perfect LC lol) 
hair, makeup and outfit :)
Here are the makeup products I used 
(forgot to include nivea tinted moisturiser darrrrrnit)

Lauren's makeup look is simple: bronzer and winged eyeliner
are the main features really
Her fashion usually consists of comfortable, feminine,
sometimes slouchy, neautral coloured clothing
Her signature hairstyle is waves with little side braids :)
Face:
 Nivea Tinted Moistuiser
17 Concealer
YSL touche eclat
ELF complexion perfection
ELF warm bronzer
Barry M Chocolate bronzer 
(Lauren is a bronzed beauty for sure :)
Benefit Thrrrob Blush
Benefit High Beam Highlighter
Eyes:
2000 Fast stroke liquid eyeliner (normal and waterproof 
because the waterproof one just didn't cut it)
A little bit of L'Oreal Contour Khol in Jet Black
Barry M White Eyeliner
YSL touche eclat again :)
Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara
Various colours from sleek palette (see below)
-the colour pointed to by the white eyeliner I was the colour
I dabbed (using my finger:) onto my inner corner (along with the white liner)
-the colour pointed to by the fluffy eyeshadow brush is a matte
beige because apparently Lauren Conrad doesn't really wear much eyeshadow
-The darker brown on the bottom I used to fill in my brows
-And the black was used over the liquid eyeliner

Lips:
i.d. bare escentuals Buxom lips plumping gloss
I used just this but the colour didn't really show..basically
I was going for something neutral but Lauren does enjoy a red 
lip sometimes so feel free to dab on some red lipstick instead 

Here's the look! (The bronzer didn't really come out, did it? 
should I not use flash?)
For the hair, I still had it curled from when I told you guys about
the Jose Eber curling iron and then I just parted it down the middle 
(not such a brill look for my face shape I think, but ANYWAY )
and plaited two bits at the front, and pinned them back with some 
hair grips (bobby pins?)
-btw where can I get goog bobby pins/hair grips?..
primark will not provide for me in this area of merchandise!-

here's a close-up of my eye makeup (complete with bushy eyebrow)
with no flash! i'm learning here people...
ooh, spoke to soon, here's one with flash hehe
sorry but the inner corner shimmer&white 
didn't come out very well here.. :/

ok..so this is the outfit I put together in what I believe
is LC's style..(yes, I did edit the photo slightly using brightness
and contrast to show the outfit better :)
the plain black dress is H&M
the leggings are too H&M :)
the cream cardi is from http://www.purecollection.com/
The pearls and bag I was given from my mamaaa
and the shoes are from a shop called Bata in italy
(but there are plenty similar black dolly shoes to be found on the high street :)
sorry, forgot to rotate the shoes :S 
Here are some rings I picked out to go with the look:
The one above is from accessorize..i think it was £4..or maybe £6 
quite prices for a small ring but I really love wearing it :) ..does get
caught on stuff like tights and towels though...
Here, the one on the left is also accessorize and was a birthday pressie
the one on the right I bought for £1 at Spitalfields market :)


I really like little accessories :) especially more unique
 ones like thescarab looking ring from Spitalfields..it's so fun 
to look for pretty bargainsat markets - do you guys like 
markets or prefer the good ole' high street?


Anyway! That was my first whole look thingymabomg
Haven't really done anything like it before 
so I know it's not perfect
However, imperfect is far more interesting than perfect :)
You could wear this outfit to lunch with friends and then 
pop on a pair of heels, dab on some red lipstick..
maybe even smokeout the eye a bit..
and you're good to go for evening! :-)


Let me know what you think an if you have any questions!
Daily smile: if you're feeling down, dressing up
 and doing your hair and/or makeup can help make 
you feel special and give you a smile :D

owlyyy
