Photo Diary - Week 1 -

Hey Lovelies,

I've dicided to start a new series on this blog, I want to stop letting you guys down because I always promise to you guys that I'd have at least two posts per week but I always end up never delivering what I've promised. So what I want to applish with this series  is that I will make a post about whatever else I want (make up, fashion, school, etc) and will also post  pictures of things I got up to on that week that went by or that happened and wanted to share with you guys.

So lets get to it.. 
(21-27 of october 2013)
On monday was the day I had to present my first final piece for Unit 1 in photography.. which was a bit nerve racking as the boy I kinda got a crush on, is in that class, he made me feel so awkward because he kept his eyes locked on mine until I finishes presenting and what I find it weird is that he didnt pay attention like he did while i was presenting when the other people in the class was! obviously I'm not getting my hopes up because he doesnt even talk to me properly so yeah xD

& whent I got home.. I went to light up my candle and for the first time ever I've finished a candle like all the day.. I was so happy but at the same time sad because my room wasnt going to smell like cherry jelly beans haha 

On tuesday and wednesday I didnt do much just school and homework tbh.

Now on thursday and friday I ended up not going to college as I couldn't even walk properly due to back pains (which I'm still complaining about as I can't bend down to get things on the floor and stuff). All I did was watch series, read my book and tried to get all the information from my friends (like class work and homework that tthe tearches gave those days so I can do all of it during half term). On friday I went to the doctors to see what is actually up with my bacL, because its not really normal for a sixteen years old to have back pains.. all they did was check if it wasnt muscle pains and they said it's  all because of the amount of weight I cary to school and my posture when I sit down, so they gave me some pain killers which trigged my asthma (very clever doctor.. you go girl -.-) so I stop using it. I also got the Casio watch which I meantioned on my last post from The Watch Hunt in the mail and with that I organised the outfit for the post. AND OF COURSE ATE LOADS OF ICE CREAM!!! :D

So what did you get up to last week? Anything interesting?

Let me know in the comments below.

OOTD - Fall Edition + Casio Watch*

Hello lovelies, 

It's fall!! Well yeah it's been fall for a couple of weeks now Maria c'mon but I'm finally doing a OOTD :D
I'd have modeled it out but I've been having some horrible back pains so I didn't even bother trying to do it, but I promise that my next OOTD or fashion ralated post I will model it out xD 

   

So as you can see if a big baggy arctic monkeys jumper with a skater skirt from last years new look collection xD and plain black and white converses.As you can see its a marylin monroe vintage neck lace which I got it at the start of the year in Camden town. 

Now the accessories, I choose this beautiful Casio watch.. Which matches my skirt and also fits in very well with autumn and the vintage trend we teenagers have going on right now xD Then there's this awesome wrap purple bracelet that I had it for ages (got it in Brazil.

So yeah this is it for my OOTD for the fall. What have you been wearing this Fall?

What kind of colours you like to wear during autumn and winter?

Let me know in the comments.

September Favourites

Hello lovelies,

I know its been nearly two weeks since I posted something but I'll be writing two posts today and posting them at different times.
I know I'm a bit late with my september favourites but here it is..

There's not much things that I enjoyed using or doing as most of the time I was writing essays.
Starting with beauty favourites something I've been enjoying since summer is the Fit Me foundation by maybelline on the shade 120 classic ivory. As this foundation is very light light on your skin and makes you feel like you're hardly wearing anything.

Another I've used a lot this month is the famous Fit Me concealer by Maybelline in the shade 15. As every blogger/ beauty vlogger has been talking a bout this concealer since Maybelline announced it i got it as you saw on my mini haul  post. It's exactly like the foundation light but very good coverage (well if you're going for a very natural look).

Moving on from face beauty products to lashes. If you have been with me since I started my blog you would know that I LOVE the Rimmel The Scandaleyes mascara (the orange with black sell line packaging) but I've been feeling like that one was too much for my eyes as I used nearly everyday, when I would get home I would look in the mirror and it looked like a had a black eye as the mascara smudged and had me question myself if I looked like that the whole day so I gave the Scandaleyes show off mascara also by Rimmel. The difference between them is that the brushes are designed differently. Don't get me wrong I still love the Scandaleyes mascara but for a day-to-day basis I would rather use the Scandaleyes Show Off mascara because as the brush is smaller and curvier not much product goes to you lashes again giving you a more natural look.

Moving on to Lips care. This past month I've been loving the Baby Lips Hydrate Lip balm (moisturiser). It literally does what it says on the packaging, it leaves your lips more hydrated and soft and more heathy looking. As I forgot to get a picture of just the Candle I'm just going to mention it here xD. This Candle is literally heaven leaves nearly the whole house smelling like Very Cherry Jelly Belly.

Now for my fashion favourite this month was definitely My new leopard neon print scarf from Primark, you can see more about it in my mini haul post.

And Finally for my book favourite this month it has to be the only book I had time to read, even hough I only read a few pages I have a feeling that I'm going to love it.

So this is it for this month's favourite. So how about you? Have you tried and loved any of the things OI mentioned? Or better what have you been loving through out the past month?

Much Love,

Back to "School"

Hello girlies,

One of the reasons I have been lacking on posts this past week or two is because I started sixth form (last two years of high school for you lovely American followers) and for this space of a week and a half that I've been there I've gotten 3 essays and 4 intense researches to do. I promised to do a post everyday this month but it didn't work out as I planned due to those 'homework's', so from now on I'll try my best to post at least once a week not just for you guys but because i want to (obviously).

So heres my "Back to school" haul (kind of xD) :

I was searching for a cute backpack everywhere and when i finally found one on ebay it was out of stock so I searched for the exact same one and found it from another seller (thank god). The bag bellow is by Anna Smith is in the colour turquoise polka dots. (got it for £18.99).

 Then I went on a hunt for cheap school supplies (project books, pens,pencils, labels, rulers, binders and etc) so I went to Tesco's xD thats where I got those project books bellow (notebooks), BiC pens, ruler, HB pencils and that little box of labels which all of that cost me about £17-20 because I got about 5 project books (£2.50 each). I end up not needing those project books because my Sixth Form actually gave some to us (one for each teacher) which I didn't know they would but even though I'm not going to use these daily I use to revise, copy the lesson down when I get home, make notes, do my homework  and also do my own research on (which is very useful and will help me when i comes to revising for the exams).

The binder i didn't buy xD i asked my dad to bring one from his work because it was easier and cheaper.

This pencil case bellow I got it in Brazil at a store called Tok&Stok, cant remember how much it was but it wasn't that expensive. Since I was young all my pencil cases were from there and all see through but in different colours each year xD.

Tomorrow I'll be going out to get more things which are missing for some of my lesson. For example a huge A3 folder to carry my photography books in, Hole-puncher to make holes on my paper to put in my binder and also a new pack or just one eraser haha.

Did you just go back to School/College/Sixth form? What did you get?

Much Love,

Sixth Form(College) Courses (A-Level's & BTEC Level 3's)

Hello lovely readers/followers,

So as you know I'm sixteen and that mean I just started Sixth Form(College) meaning new subjects, grade boundaries, new people and new environment.
I started Sixth Form(College) on the 4th of september and i choose to do A-level Media studies, A-Level Psychology, A-Level Drama and BTEC Level 3 Photography.

One of the first lessons I had was Psychology and when i first choose it i always thought it was going to be boring and that I wouldn't enjoy it at all and I actually do like it is one of my favourite subjects in College. We are learning about attachment and memory :)

 Then I had Media Studies which I've loved since year 10 when I first started doing in secondary school. When I got in the class it hit me that I never actually learnt the media language and techniques and certain key terms but that wont stop me from loving the subject (so after the first day when I got home I went straight to the computer and researched everything I needed to know). We're learning all the Media Language and techniques and about Action Adventure Films. Also my favourite subject.

Then I had Drama, which is something I enjoy doing and find very useful in life (to build up your confidence) to speak to groups of people or even just one person. I had about four lessons of drama and I noticed that it wasn't exactly what I wanted to do for more two years so I changed, for BTEC lEVEL 3 ICT which doesn't sound or is very fun to do but for the career I want to proceed is very useful in a way.

Then Finally I had Photography which is something people find it very easy because they think is all about having a camera/phone and take a "awesome" picture and that makes them a photographer (no offence to anyone). What I love about this course is that we learn the history, the techniques, we learn about other photographers and everything that would relate to photography and graphic design.

 Are you in College/University? What subjects are you doing? Do you enjoy them?Let me know in the comments bellow.

GCSE Results

Hello,

On Thursday 22nd of August I got my GCSE results which I had been stressing over it for about two months. Last year when I got my english lang. and my maths results I was really disappointed because I thought I did pretty well due to the fact that I did everything my teacher told me to do but the grades boundaries changed and my grades went down hill and then again this year they changed the grade boundaries and I got really worried because what if I had gotten bad grades again then I wouldn't be able to go to the college I wanted and anxiety was hitting me bad but on the 22nd when I opened my envelope and saw my results I was really happy with it. I'm glad I got the grades I needed even though I think I could've done better but for someone who moved to London four years ago and didn't know any english I done pretty well.

Much Love,
