Things I'm Loving: Numero Uno.

Apologies for lack of updates,but sixth form has just taken over my life at the minute, and even when I do where an outfit that I that I'd like to put up on here, by the time I get home I'm such a mess, all my make up's worn off and my hairs fallen out of whatever style it's in and I normally get straight stuck into coursework, so sorry! I know I must improve. But, to keep my blog going here's a little things I'm loving at the moment post, which I would actually like to make a regular feature, so here's the first one for you all!

1. The Mighty Boosh

I am a MASSIVE fan of the Boosh boys, and while I've been slaving away over my art coursework, they've been on the computer in the background, keeping me going until the early hours of the morning. I find it a lot easier to repititive work (i.e cutting out photos, sticking them down, annotating, blah blah blah) if I've got something to take my mind off it, so I'm doing it without realising it (does that make sense haha?) and there's nothing better to take your mind off reality than the Mighty Boosh.

2. Oxford Comma - Vampire Weekend

My favourite song at the minute, and any song that refers Get Low by Lil John is a winner in my book.

3. Hugging

Hugging makes everyone feel happier. A couple of my boy mates have been having problems with the ladies at the minute so lots of hugs have been in order. One of them said to me that I made them feel loved after I'd given him lots of cuddles, I nearly bloody cried :') It would so much easier if all our problems could be sold with cuddles.

4. Bournville

I've been munching my way through these lately, I'm putting it down to stress rather than me just being greedy.

5. Never Mind The Buzzcocks

Yes, there may be a slight theme to the programmes I watch. Another programme I've been watching during my late nights of last minute coursework, there's just something about Noel Fielding that makes me smile, and Phil Jupitus is very funny too, a very good comedy combination. These little red button NMTB extras I soooo funny (well they are to me anyway!)in one of them, Phil even says Noel's the reason he's still doing Buzzcocks, how lovely is that!

That's it for now, hope you're all well!

Alas, earwax.

Feast your eyes on these my muggle chums, Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans! When my best friend Lauren presented me with these as a gift from Florida, I very nearly weed myself in excitement. I am both a Harry Potter, and a jelly bean enthusist, so this was the perfect present for me. Here's a photo of me trying to convey my excitement:

You can really sense my psychotic excitement can't you? :') As I was saying, my bestie chum Lauren has just returned from Florida, I can't even explain how much I missed her, it literally felt like half of me was missing, that's how important she is to me. After not seeing each other for two weeks, (and barely seeing each other for about 4 weeks before that!) it was rather an emotional affair, me, my boyfriend and our other friend Jonathan surprised her by coming over to her family party (it was her 18th yesterday, she flew back from Florida that night!), and as soon as she saw me she cried, which made me cry, which made everyone laugh at us! For her birthday, I bought her a teacup Pandora charm (which made her cry, then pnce she got over that, my card made me cry!)which fitted in very nicely with her other present off her sister, a gorgeous Alice in Wonderland tea set.

Anyway, back to the beans! I've only just cracked them open, and had 4 so far, I want to save them as much as possible! I've had what I can assume to be Cinnamon Pie, Lemon Drop, Chocolate Pudding and Bubblegum flavoured beans so far, no vomit or earwax flavoured ones so far! There are no flavours on the back like Jelly Belly beans, so you really have got no clue what you're getting and have to rely on your taste buds to tell you, I'm dreading getting a pepper or sardine flavoured ones like Harry and Ron did once!

Speaking of Harry Potter, have you all seen the new trailer? I'M SOO EXCITED! I can already tell they've made some mistakes and done scenes differently, but I'm still excited. I can't wait to see how they bring Sirius, Lily and James back to accompany Harry on his way to be killed by Voldemort (in case you haven't read it, he doesn't die for realz), I hope it's as beautiful as the way it's written in the book, but I doubt it will be, I'm also interested to see how the Battle of Hogwarts and breaking into Gringotts will be done.

Yes, that was an entire post about jelly beans. Thanks for reading till the end if you do haha!
Lots of love, Lottie xxx
P.S just had what I believe to be a custard flavoured bean!

Immense Cuteness.

Apologies for lack of updates, hopefully these bundles of fluffy cuteness will make up for it! Today I went to go see my auntie's new puppy, she's is gorgeous! Eeeeh I love her so much already, and I only spent about 20 minutes with her :') She's going to be called Daisy, and even though she was the quietest out of all the pups, you can tell she's going to be a handful! I really like how she's different to the typical border collies you see, like she has spots and dots all over her nose and belly, and a cute little zig zag coming off the back off her collar (the white bit around her neck). She moves into my auntie's house this Sunday and I can't wait to go visit her!

Anyway, yeah sorry I haven't been updating much, even though it's half term I've been busy going into school a lot and just keep forgetting to take pictures in the morning, then when I remember in the afternoon, I'm not looking soo fresh and all my make up has started to slide off and I doubt you'd want to see a picture of me like that :')

Hope everyone's ok, I promise I'll do some more outfit posts soon, and I also have a collective haul I need to talk about too!
Lots of love, Lottie!

(this is Daisy btw! Isn't she adorable!)

Mercury Summer.

Top: H&M♥ Skirt: DIY but originally Primark♥ Leggings: Primark♥ Scarf: River Island♥

Hi guys! Sorry I was MIA last week, I was feeling so poo and literally just lived in my pyjamas, which wouldn't make for very interesting outfit posts! I quite liked what I was wearing today, it's different to the other outfits I've posted here, I liked the clashing patterns of stripes and florals. I really like this circle scarf too, I just wish it was mine! It's actually my Dad's girlfriends, but since they're on holiday I've been taking advantage of her wardrobe heehee!

Tomorrow I'm hopefully stripping my hair with B4 and dying it a nice reddish brown colour, if you guys saw the lovely Milly's London post, her colour in those photos is what I'm aiming for, I have major hair envy haha! I'm going to take pictures throughout the process to show you what the B4's like, I've used it twice before, but when I was using it for the first time, there were no really helpful reviews on it to let me know what I was getting myself in for, or any helpful tips, so hopefully me blogging (and maybe videoing it, eeh!) will help some other people out who want to know about it :)

Hope you're all ok, lots of love!

P.S. I'm watching 16 and Pregnant, they're calling their daughter 'Genesis'. Thoughts? Personally I think it's terrible! That poor child.

Sorry for the filler post, but I'm poorly at the minute! I have a throat infection, which is affecting my asthma too, it's also making me have a weird appetite too, for example I had a craving for cheesy straws from Cooplands yesterday and made my Dad's girlfriend bring me some back from town! Being poorly makes me hanker for savoury foos I think, anyway here's a little questions jobby to replace what would have been an outfit post, since I'm poorly I've not really been bothered to get dressed, I'm currently sat in pyjamas with a blanket round me, not much of an outfit really!

1. What is your dream job?
I'm still not sure what I really want to do for a job, I'm torn between teaching (sensible option) and journalism (not so sensible option) at the minute, which I can go into after doing my English Lit degree, which I start in September, eeeeh! I'm soo excited, anyway if I'm going to be honest I've always really wanted to be an author, ever since I was seven. I love reading and writing, I can't think of a more perfect job for me but again not a very sensible option, but who knows what the future will hold!

2. What is your favourite fragrance for Winter?
I wear Vera Wang Princess all year round!

3. How do you take your tea/coffee?
I only ever really drink coffee, which I have about medium, i.e medium strength and medium amount of milk in it, so not weak, but not to strong either. I only get the craving for tea when I'm poorly for some reason!

4. What is your most important beauty secret?
I don't think I have any! Moisturise lots would probably be it, my Dad's girlfriend says she always moisturised her skin and she's never had any stretch marks, even after 2 kids and lots of weight changes, so I think that's rather a good beauty secret/tip!

5. If you had an all expenses paid vacation, where would you go?
New York, although I don't think I'd ever come back! I've been lucky enough to go to New York twice already and I never wanted to leave, it truly is the most amazing place ever, and now I'm more into fashion as well I think I'd enjoy the experience even more!

6. If a genie popped up in your lap right now and offered you three wishes, what would you ask for?
As selfish as it is, I'd wish to be rich! But I would also wish for all the horrible diseases out there to be cured as well. My mum died of cancer, and I would never want anyone else out there to go what she went through, and what our family has been through, wether it's cancer, or heart disease or whatever it is, there's no reason why would should just cure one thing. As for my third wish, probably all the people who I love the most to just be happy! :)

7. If you could only have breakfast, lunch, dinner or desert foods for the rest of your life, what would you pick?
Dinner foods, without a doubt. I don't really eat breakfast anyway, and I think that most of the things you have for lunch you can have for dinner too, and only eating dinner foods means shepherd's pie and roast dinners a lot more, my favourite!

8. If you were Hello Kitty what colour hair bow would you wear?
Can I have a floral one please!?

9. What is your biggest makeup pet peeve?
Tide lines! Ugh I really hate it when people don't rub there foundation in properly, looks bloody horrible. Especially when their neck is pale, but their face is bright orange. Ughhh.

10. If you could wear only one piece of jewellery for the rest of your life, what would it be?
A necklace my boyfriend bought me for my 18th :)

11. What one talent do you wish you had?
I wish I could sing. I like to think that I can, when I'm singing along loudly to my iTunes, but I know I can't :')

12. Which product will you continue to purchase?
There's too many, but probably foundation, mascara and moisturiser. Not sure which brands, cause I still haven't found the perfect one's of either of them, although for moisturiser it would probably be Palmer's Coco Butter or Soap and Glory The Righteous Butter.

13. If you could look into the future, would you? And what would you like to know?
Ummm I really don't know! Normally I'm one of those people who has to know everything, but I'd be too scared I'd find out something bad then not want to live anymore or something horrible like that!

14. What made you start a blog?
I'd just been following lots of them for ages, and had thought about making one for a long time, and only just built up the courage to do it now!

15. Who is your biggest celebrity crush? Include a picture!
I was thinking about this the other day actually haha, cause I wasn't really sure if I had one! After watching 'Supersizers Eat' constantly these past few days I think it may have to be Giles Coren, or maybe Noel Fielding who I also really like. I really like funny men, if they make me laugh I will fancy them in some way! I also really like dark haired boys, so they both fit the bill, even though they're on complete opposite scales!



(yes I'm very aware I have weird taste men, although I assure you my boyfriend is perfectly normal!)

Anyway, thanks for reading and putting up with a silly filler post while I'm poorly! To make me feel better, why don't you tell me who your celebs crushes are, they can't be much worse than mine!

Just draw another in you think we've crossed a line.

Dress: Topshop♥ Cardigan:George at Asda♥ Scarf: Vintage♥

This evening I went for some lovely Nandos and shopping with my Dad and his girlfriend, and discovered that I'm too tall for maxi dresses! UGH. How can this be? I'm normally a 10 in dresses and skirts, then a 12 in trousers/leggings, partly because I have chunkyish thighs and because I have long legs too (I'm around 5'10/5'11 just to give you an idea)and a ten comes up too short, and a 12 is just too big on the body! I felt like crying in the New Look changing rooms after spotting my perfect maxi dress after trying on countless other maxis, only to find a 10 came just above my ankle, and there was no size 12 to be found on the rack for me to even try :(

Anyway that's my mini rant(or should I say MAXI rant /terrible pun), I did however get some nice hair stuff and some desert boots from Primark instead, I'm planning to go shopping again in half term, so I will probably include them in a haul from that unless you see them on here first. Tomorrow I'm also going to book an eye test, hopefully my local Specsavers will have the Gok Wan range in! Just in case you haven't seen the range you can find them here on the Specsaver's website, and here's some of my favourites from the collection.



Lots of love, Lottie xxxx

Fat Bottomed Girls You Make The Rocking World Go Round.

Dress: Primark♥ Headband: New Look♥

Hi everyone! I hope you're all ok, I'm knackered! I've been really stressed out these past couple of weeks, and it affects my sleep a lot which has led me to trying out lots of different methods to help me get some sleep. So far I can confirm that Night Nurse and Kalms do absolutely nothing to help me get some sleep, sometimes Sominex works and sometimes it doesn't, it's really frustrating! I've also bought some Lush bath stuff in hopes that they will help a little bit, so far I've only used Ikkle Baby Bot ballistic and a bit of Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds bubble bar, and those in conjunction with wine and Sominex worked a treat! Although I'm guessing the wine played the biggest part in me getting a good nights sleep haha, the last time I had a really good sleep was after a night out when I slept from about 2 til 10 in the morning, which is really good for me as I'm an early bird! If you guys have any tips of getting a good's nights sleep please let me know, it'll be really helpful!

Anyway onto my outfit, this dress is about 3 years old I think! And it's from Primark so it's lasted realllllly well! You can't see my necklace to well in these pictures, but it's actually a black rosary necklace with a cameo of Christopher Lee in his role of Dracula on it! I love it, I love all the old Hammer Horror films, and I definately know nobody else will have it either! I also did my nails last night which I'm ridiculously proud of, you'll see those and a close up of my Sherlock Holmes ring below :)

I used Nails Inc Stables Market as my base (good to go in one coat, I love that polish!), then W7 Black for the leopard print, and for the roses Collection 2000 Hot Looks in Ninja for the leaves and Hoola Hoop for the roses, and also Natural Collection Hibiscus for the roses too :)

Hope you all get a good night's sleep!
