From Sam, with Love.

Ahhh.
So, it was Valentines day t'other day. Hope everyone got a card or gift, or roses. If not - it IS a stupid holiday, you're right. You ARE better off without someone..... ok.. OK! Fine. Here are some roses just for you:

Back to business.

I was supposed to blog something last week, but just didn't have the energy or time. I had lots of social things to do (like watch the social network again), and went out for dinner about... oh, 3 times last week... and had a take away (yummy Indian food). But still managed to lose 2 1/2 lbs! I have no clue how as the week before I only lost 1 1/2 lbs and all I ate was fruit and veg. So it seems eating out is actually better for me. Not so good for my bank account though! Sadly.

I am trying to remember what I have actually been up to of late, but can't. I went to the cinema, of course! I saw The Fighter, which was good but not near enough actual fighting in it. But it had some great actors in it, and had a nice story buried in there amongst the drug addict story line.

I also read my little brain off last week. In the past week, maybe just over a week, I have finished 3 books. I am starting a new one today. In such a reading mood its just silly. Today I will be reading the last installment of the Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. Great books about a futuristic world where children have to compete in a barbaric survival game - the last one standing wins and gets to go home. It's really great though and the characters are so vivid - my boyfriend tells me it sounds like The Running Man, starring Arnie - I should really check that out.

In other news, I am going to see True Grit tonight with some pals and in further news my friend who has been in China for the past 8 or 9 months is coming home at the weekend. So lots to prepare for that! I am trying to fit my Uni work into this hectic week, but it's not working too well. So I will have to try to do some 'light' reading in between everything else. On a plus note, I hit my last assignment outta the park and got a really good grade, so that's perked me up some!

I think that's all from me! No pictures of the week or anything as I can't be bothered!

Be back soon!

Sam

ps. Lost 11lb's in total. Almost at 1 stone!

More Fashion and Makeup

YO!

So, I have noticed a trend in the blogs of mine that get the most views. It's the ones that have the coolest pictures! hehe. I am not all about getting views, but the knowledge that some 40 odd people have looked at my last fashion blog just this week is pretty cool. So I thought I'd do a follow up. Sorry guys... this one might be for the girls... unless you like scantily clad women... oh.. you do? Well stick around then! Jeez!

What with my gradual weight loss I have been thinking more about future wardrobe choices. As I am somewhat a casual bird - jeans and tops. And I live in my converse sneakers! But with my losing weight I feel that soon I will one day be able to comfortably take a dip in the nice fashion pool. I love dresses, but hate wearing them as I don't feel comfortable, but one day this year I will wear a nice dress and that's that! So, here are some pictures of some clothes I like.


Another topic I wanted to discuss is makeup. As some of you know I am a make up artist of sorts. And there are some great looks on the runways at the moment. (see below). I am not one to preach about products as its a totally personal preference. But I swear by Benefit. I love all their products.

This was the look stomping down the runway at Roberto Cavalli's show. You'd think this was simple and done to death, but getting someone to look like this is pretty difficult if you don't have the right face/tools it just won't work! I have tried to do this makeup on myself before but my eyes just won't take that much makeup. It doesn't look good on everyone sadly!


This is an Estee Lauder look - loving the almost copper eyes that are coming in. metallics are back baby!


Oh China Fashion Week... you tease me! You should google China fashion week. The stuff they come up with is SO good.


*Regular day blog to arrive on Tuesday after Slimming World weigh in.*
