Geek Chic

So the other night was geek-themed and this is my outfit.....


The top I actually bought recently from River Island, I do plan on wearing it normally, probably with leggings because it quite long, but it seemed perfect for geeking it up! I bought the braces aaages ago from H&M because I knew I'd need them at some point ;)
The shorts are Dorothy Perkins and socks are ASOS.

What do you think of these maths nails as well?? Pretty shoddy job if I'm honest lol, but I was doing them a, in a rush and b, after a drink haha





The geek night turned into a proper geeky night though...instead of going out, I went to pre-drinks for a bit then stayed in and worked!! Shameful.

The One

Have you ever thought you've found The One?
I have.
Oh god I've never wanted something more. (maybe)
How gorgeous is she??
So simple yet so brilliant... I love it. (hate the pricetag)


I discovered The Kooples recently in Selfridges with my sister. She has the opinion that you're better off getting more expensive things that you'll wear more, but I just don't have the fundz! It does make a lot of sense, but I dunno...I think I buy a lot of dresses so I get a bit funny about wearing them too frequently, but then again, I could wear this skirt with sooo many different things...and it would last for ages...and its in that amazing wine colour I'm quite obsessed with...aahh I think I'm talking myself into buying it!! Poor bank balance is in for a real beating, I can feel it.
What do you think? Worth the price tag? Am I just being a cheapskate??

I've been in and out of work this week so I've just been messing about with my nails when I've been off, here are a few photos!

Did you see the Boots 17 deal that was on? Buy two products and you got a free mini nail art kit! Inside were some little nail stickers, a nail file and these 2 cute colours.
The base is Pink Grapefruit and the stripes are Knockout Red



These feel kinda futuristic-y! Unfortunately though they kept getting smudged and I think it ended up being so thick they were really rubbish, you can probably tell from the photo.
I've used 'MAC Give Me Liberty of London' Blue India for the base and then for the silver tips I've just used a very old Boots Natural Collection one.


This one I was just testing out that trick, you know where you use half of one of those sticky hole-reinforcers as a template? But after a bit I decided the colour combination made it look like a sunset haha.
The blue-ish is called Pop Up and the yellow is Taxi, both from the Miss Sporty Clubbing Colours Quick Dry range.





And today I've just gone for plain nails- Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream


Bought the new Boots 17 Falsifeye mascara, which came with a free gel eyeliner pot, and I'll be doing a review post of both products next time!
