The other half to my best friend

My perfect summer party outfit

So, it's nearly midnight and all I can think about is what I am going to wear for Katy Perry. I have a full wardrobe but nothing to wear. The typical selfish ways. So I decided to put something together online, but it ended up being just something I would wear over summer, maybe to an outside party, or bbq

The cream strap dress dress, with black flower designs is an old Forever21 dress that I have had saved for quite a while now. I can't remember the pricing exactly, but i'm nearly sure it was on US website ranging from 15-20 dollars.

This 'three feathers necklace' is currently on the EU Forever21 website for 5.90 euros. I pretty much adore anything to do with feathers or keys. So it's definitely something I would wear with this dress.

I have picked white canvas toms to go with this outfit. I'm pretty sure 'Toms' are going to be the next in thing. Like Converse. These Toms have a Gandhi quote along them 'you must be the change you want to see in the world' These were on Tom.com for $42.

The three petal ring I chose doesn't match the outfit, as much as I would like it to. But I don't really like it all to match too much anyway. I think it's sweet and simple. And that is pretty much what I was going for.

I think Make up depends on your mood that day. It also depends on the person. For me I don't think I would wear any foundation, or maybe a very light tone. A soft natural eyeshadow on my eyes and a bold/stand out mascara look on my eyelashes.

Oh and simple diamond earrings.

My Mam

So, I'd like to think of my mam and I relationship as a sort of best friend relationship. I know I can talk to her, and I rarely keep secrets from her. Yes, we fight. We both get in bad moods, but that's normal. The majority of the time we get on like a house on fire. So, today I came home to this.

School has been keeping my busy

Sadly, so I have less time online. Thing is, if anybody knows a good way of study, please let me know. Because I don't think I actually know how to study, because after I'v studied for a test, I have actually forgotten everything by the time I'm finished the test. So please, help.

So, I put on a talent show in my school, with two of my friends. We raised about 550 euro for suicide awareness, and the winner (Origin) got 150euro. We had the idea that we would have it by the students for the students sort of thing. We know what people our age want to see, and luckily it was a massive success, and everyone was really proud and had a great time.

Okay I know I didn't get around to writing all about France but here are a few small purchases I made while there;

Red Eiffel Tower to match everything in my room. 1Euro

A Woody doll. I really could not resist. 22Euro

My friend actually bought me this. It's a Micky Mouse bracelet.

I love Paris bracelet. 1Euro

un jour en France - Thursday 17 Feb 2011

We arrived in France at around nine, and a bus was waiting for us. The bus drove us to McDonalds, and the workers had a great laugh trying to figure out what we were trying to say. Turns out I don't like French McDonals, even if it is similar to the Irish ones. But the highlight of that McDonalds was when Claire and I discovered the most beautiful french guy sitting straight in front of us. wow did we stare!

Then we ended up going to this massive building in front of the Eiffel Tower, where we proceeded to get attacked by men trying to sell us things.

I can't exactly remember the order of the day cos it dragged on, as I was running on three hours of sleep.

But after that I think we went to this place with this crazy round about that had no lanes.

This is where I got followed by a man with his hands down his pants, who happened to be on a massive.... I'll just leave it at that. Anyway he followed us down an alley way, we turned around when we realized it was the wrong alley way, and he banged into us, and followed us back up it. Of course I started to panic. We went into a souvenir shop, he ended up waiting outside one of the doors staring in at us, so we went to the other end of the shop, but he still followed us. So one of the girls rang the teacher and she told us to go to the meeting place, the minute the creep saw us on the phone he ran. When we got to the meeting place, the teachers weren't there. But the guy ended up finding us again. But then the teachers came and he actually ran away. At that stage I was ready to go home.

Then we went to this palace thing, where we got to shop for a little bit. I'm going to post everything I bought later. We had to walk loads of steps to get up to it though, Becky was in a terrible state.

And then to a museum where Mona Lisa is, but we didn't actually go into it. Just around it.

Then we had to meet up with our families in a random car park. I hated the fact I had to stay with a random family that I knew nothing about. The father of the house ended up picking us up in a lovely car. The house was small enough. They had a gorgeous son Yohan and daughter Megan. We slept in Megans room on bunk beds. We ate weird dinner with them. God do they love their bread and cheese.

The first day left a bad impression on me. I was tired. And being followed by that man made me panic all day long.

Je suis alle a Paris

I went to France with I think about 31 people in 2nd and 5th year, and 3 of my teachers. Had to be in the square at about 3:15. Got there got on the bus and set off for the airport. Everyone was really tired but excited at the same time. I felt sorry for my friend Becky because she only came home from MCR that night at 12:00 so she hadn't slept at all. We were aloud to shop in the airport duty free for like 10 minutes, the majority of my friends ran to the make up store so the rest of us followed. I didn't own any Mac, but I decided I was going to buy one thing from it. I don't wear a lot of make up, but for some reason I love to have it and buy it, and look at it. It's sill of me. But I could be spending my money or worse things. I ended up buying the Mac Eye- Liner Gel 'Blitz & Glitz' It's black with a hint of glitter. It came to about 12 euro.

I've wanted Gel Liner for ages, and I was planning to it really cheap off ebay. But buying this made me realize it's better to just save my money to buy the more expensive brands infrequently. Instead of just buying really cheap make up all the time.

I also bought the Naked Urban Decay palette which I have also wanted for a while. This came to 28 euro on the plane. It was about 40-48 euro in different places that I saw it.

When I got the NY book of shadows for Christmas and realized how amazing the quality of expensive brands in comparison to cheap brands is massive. I appreciate the expensive make up I have, and it lasts longer.
