Domino




My second post of the day (greedy) and not exactly a credible one either, but this song has been in my head all day. It's so catchy I can't get enough of it!

Blonde Redhead



Today I got my hair done, it didn't turn out exactly like I had in mind but I kinda like it! I was aiming for an ombre-ish look but I think the color starts a little bit too high, although in these pictures it looks like it blends in nicely with the rest of my hair. I'm still getting used to it as it's very different and a lot lighter, but once it fades slightly and grows out a tiny bit I think I will like it a lot! It makes a nice change anyway!

Hope everyone is alright, got any plans for the weekend? I'm bloody working tomorrow but I think I might be going out for dinner with my boyfriend in the evening!

I'm waiting for the day





Crop top: Urban Outfitters. Skirt: American Apparel. Boots: Urban Outfitters. Shorts: Levi's via ebay. Sandals: Topshop. Necklace: Urban Outfitters. Watch: Casio

The sun was shining today so the outfit is a pretty summery one. I bought this crop top yesterday was I was in town. I love the skirt and top combo so much, I think I'll wear it on my next night out but team with with tights and a denim jacket - it might be sunny but it's still March! I doubt the second outfit will ever make it's debut out in public in England, but I think it will be so cute when I go on holiday in the summer. 

I've had a pretty quiet weekend which has been good as it means I haven't spent as much money as I would have if I'd been out drinking! I'm getting my hair done next Friday so I need to make sure I've got my money for that. I viewed a flat with my boyfriend yesterday which was pretty awful to say the least. The pictures of it looked lovely but then in real life it was pretty much the size of a shoe box. My clothes and shoe collections are expanding by the day so somewhere with lots of storage space is a must!! Oh well, the search continues. 

I'm having a pretty chilled day today, blogging, reading and watching the Hills - it never gets boring no matter how much I watch it. I hope everyone has had a lovely weekend.

No Imagination



Eyes: No7 Smoky eye liner @ boots.

I got a £5 No7 voucher in boots the other day so decided to spend it on the smoky eye liner. I didn't know what to get at first as I'm not exactly short of make up, but I've never known how to do a smoky eye so I thought I would try this. I have to say, I'm so impressed with this product! I'm not exactly knowledgeable when it comes to make up, but I love how easy this is to use. Its got an almost powdery texture to it so it's very easy to smudge, which means you haven't got to worry too much about being neat. Sometimes, applying normal liquid eye liner can drive me up the wall - especially if I'm trying to get ready to go out and it goes wrong! I probably would have got a better, darker effect if I'd used a darker eye shadow but this was my first attempt at using the product.
I would highly recommend this, it's simple, quick and easy!


Today I've been checking out a blog called Big Eyes, Little Soles. I was in Tesco on my lunch break today and a girl who gets on my train in the mornings recognised me and asked me if she could take a picture of my trainers. She then gave me her card and explained that she writes for a trainer blog. As I am a big fan of trainers (hence my blog's name!) I checked out the blog as soon as I could, and I really like it. It has several bloggers - all girls - who mainly blog about trainers but there's also stuff about music, streetwear, events etc as well. I instantly liked this blog and got a really cool vibe from it! It was also refreshing to look at something completely different as all of the blogs I usually read are fashion/beauty based.

What has everyone been up to today? I've had a quiet day and work. I'm very much looking forward to getting paid on Friday and going out dancing!

About a Girl



Jumper: Urban Outfitters. Leggings: American Apparel. Shoes: Urban Outfitters. Necklace: Urban Outfitters. Rings: Jewellery stall, River Island. Watch: Casio.   

I only got these leggings today and I love them so much already! Already planning what to wear them with tomorrow night when I go out... Seen loads of girls wearing shiny/leather look leggings/trousers at the moment. I  really really like the American Apparel Disco Pant but at £70 they are way out of my price range! They look so good one some people but I don't know how able I would be to pull them off. Leggings are more suitable to my style - pair with some high tops and an over-sized tee or vest and that's me! They fit so well, I was also worried they would be too long because I'm not the most gifted person in the leg height department but they are perfect. The colour is subtle enough for everyday wear and the style is great for jazzing up a simple outfit. I might be slightly braver next time and get a red pair...

Love this jumper as well, it's light, comfortable and will be perfect when the weather gets warmer. (I'm so excited for the summer already!) 
Bought the nail varnish yesterday on my lunch break from work after seeing a customer wearing a similar colour, it's so cute I can't get enough! It's a 17 one (bought it as it was cheap but I'm actually really pleased with it) but I can't remember the name! 

Hope everyone is well! It's been ages in between blogging again - I'm so busy at work and hanging out but I'm really trying to make time to do it. I'm going out tomorrow night and really looking forward to it, just got to get work  out the way first! 

p.s came home the other day to find this goody box arrived in the post from my boyfriend's mum...



It made me so happy - was running of some stuff and was in desperate need of new make up brushes so it was perfect timing! (2nd) best mum ever!
