OOTN & FOTN: Goodbye My Friend!

This outfit and face of the night I believe is my first ever - wahoo! So go easy on me ;-) I'm not as stylish as others nor am I the best at make up but I try. 

I actually wore this look last Saturday night but I completely forgot I took photos of it before I went out! It was two of my friends birthdays and one of them also moved to Scotland the day after so it was kind of his leaving celebrations as well. It was a fun night and I'm glad I got a little bit of fun before revision started (not that that is going well - argh). 

This outfit was actually put together by my friend Lucy who featured the items in a blog post on lonely wardrobe. We literally went shopping together the day after she posted about it as I HAD to have it. Unfortunately we had to get a different top though as the one she featured wasn't available in our Dorothy Perkins :-(

Top - Select £8 LINK

Skirt - H&M £7.99 LINK

You can't really see it on properly so here is a  (sort of) better picture:

Definitely get the right size top for you. In the store I thought the top looked a little on the small size so sized up but when  I got it home it was huge! I spent all night pulling it up so you couldn't see my boobs - not that that really helped as it is sheer. 

For the skirt I would say try it on but probably size up also. If you're anything like me and Kim Kardashian, with voluptuous bottom halves, you'll find that although it fits at the waist it won't across your legs. And the way it falls at the front means you risk your vajayjay being exposed!

 I went for blue and gold with the make up. You can't really tell because of my glasses but when my eyes are open it looks like a really nice hint of blue in the crease/corner. I have no  idea where my make up is right now as I'm in the process of moving house but to the best of my knowledge this is what I used:

• Sleek Storm Pallette - Gold and a couple of the Blues.
• L'oreal Telescopic Mascara
• Collection 2000 Eyeliner
• Benefit Coralista Blush
• MUA Primer
• Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid Foundation in Ivory
• MUA Shade 7 Lipstick

I would love to see some of your OOTN! Leave me links below :-) 

What's On My Kindle?

I've had my Kindle for about 7 months now. My Mum bought me it for my 21st birthday as a part of my present and I absolutely love it. I was never sure as to whether I wanted one or not because I'm a huge book lover and going round charity shops and book fairs has always been a hobby of mine. But I have no regrets! I am so in love with this little machine now and I have read so much more than I used to.

I keep mine in this pink 'leather' case which I bought from eBay - LINK - I couldn't find the exact one again but that is pretty much the same one, for the same price.

At first I kept it in a silicone skin inside a sleeve but the case is so much more protective. I don't know why I still keep the silicone skin on but for some reason I do. It actually keeps it more secure within the case anyway so win-win. 

I tend to keep a collection on my Kindle for books I've recently read. I like to keep my goodreads account up to date but sometimes I forget to for a while. Keeping this collection helps me to go back and check I've put everything in. 

I've read both these triologies within about two weeks - woops! They were both really good and super addictive reads. I can definitely see the obsession with both!

I have about 70 books stored on here ready to read. As you can see below, these are the next few I'm set to read. A mixture of old and new with the odd classic thrown in there. 

I'm constantly looking for new and interesting reads and going on book hunts is an old favourite of mine. My boyfriend doesn't enjoy it so much though!

Add me on Goodreads if you're on there - LINK

I'd love to hear any book recommendations you could give me down below :) 

Also, if anybody knows of any online book clubs, let me know! Now I've finished uni I have so much more time for reading and would love to get involved with a few clubs.

Hi, my name is Jodie and I'm addicted to buying iPhone cases.

Since getting my iPhone last July, I have developed a serious addiction to buying iPhone cases. Admittedly, I have never spent more than a few pounds on one, but still. I am 21, it is a bit ridiculous right? 

Nevertheless, a new one arrived in the post this morning. Just in time to cheer me up from my essay depression.  

This is a 3D melting ice-cream hard iPhone cover:

I LOVE IT.

It comes in two pieces as seen below, making it a hell of a lot easier to put onto your phone than some other cases I've had. I haven't a clue what the weird patch in the middle is for though. 

The green part has a shine to it, whilst the bright pink part is more of a matte finish. Both complement each other really well. I adore the simplicity of it and the finishing touches of the small drips down the front of the phone.

It also came with these weird looking things (not the pen, I don't know why that's there):

Apparently the top thing is to sit your phone on landscape in order to watch videos. Which, I guess is cool to own but I highly doubt I will ever use it. 

The other two things are something to do with iPod docks and compatibility? If anybody could actually tell me what they are properly that'd be amazing! Otherwise I'll probably just throw them away.

I bought this case from eBay for £2.99 but I have found them cheaper LINK

They are from Hong Kong but they honestly don't take that long to arrive considering. I think mine arrived in under two weeks, which is pretty good! I've never had any troubles buying from abroad so hopefully none of you will.

There are loads more colours and there are even some three colour ones knocking about on eBay. Just search "3d melting ice cream" and they'll come up. 

I do quite like the orange and blue one but I think I should probably stop buying iPhone cases for a while now!

I probably shouldn't encourage you to fuel my addictions, but if any of you know of any amazing phone cases do let me know! iPhone or Blackberry :)
