Amelia's First Birthday

Amelia turnt one on the 23rd of this month. We had a lovely party for with a bouncy castle and yummy cake, which she loved running around demanding pieces from everyone. I'm still finding it a little hard to believe she is a whole year old already.. That went by soo fast!

Just thought I'd share a few pictures from the day with you.

Ombre.

So, I jumped on the ombre wagon. In a slighty different way though. Instead of dashing to the shops and buying clothes dye to 'improve' my favorite shirt ombre style I decided to go a little different, as you can see.

I'd been wanting to dye my hair again for ages just because I was so bored of it, plus having red hair isn't such a great thing when it suddenly comes 'in'. This took five and a half hours to complete, three magazines and a giant bag of walkers. But I love it, sometimes.

Anyway lets do a OOTD..

Shorts - Topshop

Sorry for the blurry picture, I have no idea why it came out like that considering the other is fine and these were taken at the same time.

Me and a friend took Amelia swimming for the first time today. I know 11 months is a little old to go for the first time but the weather had been so awful!



Crush

I haven't had the time to do this for so long I feel like a blogging virgin.

I came across the very cute website Ellatino a while ago now, I haven't actually brought anything from them (yet!) but I have got a serious crush of a few of their items and I just had to share these two with you..

I'm going to be putting together a update post then hopefully I can get back into the swing of things!

How to; get fuller lips



I have quite thin lips so as I was growing up I was always looking for ways to make them look fuller. Alot of companies have lip pumping lipglosses but I have found most of them tingle to make you think they work but don't actually work. Here's three ways to get fuller looking lips (without needles!).

Wear lighter coloured lipstick! We all know dark colours give the illusion of being smaller, which is why of course every woman owns a little black dress. Same goes for your makeup, so the darker the lipstick the smaller your lips are going to look, try to go for a satin finish too.

Always wear lipgloss! Lipgloss is shiny so reflects light making the lips look fuller, choose lighter coloured lipglosses or a clear lipgloss to go over your lipstick.

Use a white eyeliner instead of lipliner! I don't know about you but I think lipliner looks awful as most people get it so wrong. Apply a white eyeliner to the cupid's bow and below the bottom lip and blend. This gives the same effect as a highlighter so makes your lips slighty 3D.



DIY; Bling Shades.

 

I made some sunglass clip-ons today. I kept it a basic sliver pattern so that their not too tacky, ofcourse you can't see threw them like this which is why I made them as clip-ons instead of actual sunglasses. So you can just clip them on and off your own sunglasses. I reckon they could be alot better.
