Alexander McQueen Pre Spring/Summer 2012

OMG i'm so excited about this! I've been waiting for the perfect colour A.M scarves to come in and finally they've released a neutral range! I'm not one for bold colours, I stick to dark and nude tones, so when I finally get paid (it's my first ever pay), I said i'll treat myself to something nice and pricey, so it's a pick of these:

Double wrap bracelet - £135

Khaki leopard scarf - £285 (I think i'm gonna get this it's so gorgeous! Just my kind of thing!)

Chiffon Khaki & loden - £185

Hair Accessories

I love hairbands and stuff so much, and love winter so I can wear big wooly ones, I haven't stocked up on anything yet because I haven't been paid. But here's a few I like:

River Island - £8

I'd more than likely take the long feather off because i've been looking for a 3 strand headband everywhere that isn't overly exspensive. Topshop - £15 

Topshop - £18

My M.A.C palette so far..

Sooo, my pallette so far! Only 5 but that's my grey smokey eye sorted! Colours from L-R are: Carbon, Black Tied, knight devine, electra and gesso. My next colours are all neutrals like browns, beiges and nudes. One line is going to be shimmer and one matte. I'm trying to build up two palettes, one natural colours and one bright colours like purples, pinks, greens & stuff.

I usually just stick to plain colours because that's all I have but I eventually want to start putting colour in my makeup for nights out and stuff because i've cut my makeup down dramatically for college these days, on my eyes all I wear now is mascara and I really enjoy playing about with eyeshadows. College is killing me lately! Anyway, I slightly forgot my palette lately which is why I don't have anymore than this, but now I can start buying slowly again yay!

Polyvore: OOTD

Plain white long tank - Anywhere's cheap

Miss Selfridge jeans - £38

Cobalt Blue Silk Chiffon Skull Scarf, Alexander McQueen - £160.00

Christian Louboutin Pigalle Flat - $775 (Approx. 490)

Mulberry Tillie Tote - £975

Alexander Mcqueen Snakeskin and brass wrap bracelet - £190

Obviously i'm pretty sure you can find dupes everywhere, but if I post these it's because i'm just messing about on polyvore with clothes/outfits that pop into my mind, which will help when i'm stuck for ideas 

Wanna know my real hair length?

My friend took this of me hahaha, but yes without anything in my hair, could do with a re-straighten but w.e  :-)

Louis Vuitton Vernis Key Pouch in Pomme D'amour

So yes, I finally purchased my first thing off my wishlist! Well one of the smaller ones but whatever, I got the Louis Vuitton Vernis Key Pouch in colour Pomme D'amour. It's SO cute! I love it! I'm using it for change, has a cheque in it atm & reciepts. I could actually maybe fit my iPhone. It was £205 and I ordered from the official LV website. I ordered Friday evening, and came Monday afternoon, so i'm guessing the only take orders on weekdays before a certain time.

I was so pleased with it runnning round my house screaming when it got here because i'd waited ALL day and the postman had already came around 11 in the morning so when another delievery came at about 4, I was so happy! I came from France in one day!

So I opened the brown parcel box and I was happy with all the presentation! All boxed to perfection, even the little string around the box & the pull tab on the box was leather. So I opened the box and in the little dustbag was my purse, everything top quality. Anyways not much more to the story so here's a load of pics!

Naww so cute! Saving for the matching wallet or passport cover now! It's a darker colour in real life

More like this colour

Love this storage box

Receipts, thankyou letter, terms & conditions and return voucher

Back

Two pockets, main pocket and a open side pocket to slide paper or anything in

Clip to hang it on the inside of a bag or anywhere, inside Louis Vuitton bags, most of them had this 'D' shape hook to hang it off

Being a greedy b*tch

So if you remember, I previously did a post on the designer things I like (Click here) So here's and updated list of my desired designer goods, some the same some not:

Louboutin Lady Dafs (Still on my list!) Not sure whether I prefer nude or black though...

Alexander McQueen scarf, this is the colour I decided on

Louis Vuitton Sarah Noeud Wallet

Casio Diamond watch, i'd prefer the 101 but the 15 one will do. Casio is my fave make of watches and I love big blingy gold ones so this is perfect!

Louis Vuitton passport cover

Louis Vuitton key purse (But i'd use it for change/receipts)

(I missed out the bag cause I'm gonna have to wait a lifetime for it but that's my top priority to ever get)

Grey contacts for Dark eyes

So the first photo is me last year (ugh) and me last night... I tried to get a shot in day light but couldn't because it was starting to get dark. (I'm such a poser). I absolutely LOVE these! I bought 'Mezmereyes' pearl grey, my eyes are super dark, they don't look it in the left pic because the light caught them but they really are! I was originally going to get velvet grey but my sister said because your eyes are dark go lighter, I was scared I was going to look 'Owl-ish' with like MEGA big eyes which I didn't want. I wanted just a colour contact without enlargement which if you do want get ones with a black ring around. I did my research into these colours.

So it was £10 for 1 month, I got one month incase I didn't like them, it was £12.99 for 3 which now I regret because I adore these!

So my first try... Was utterly horrible! But i'm a first time user ever for contacts! I'm not bad with touching my eyes though i'll just shove my finger in if I need to (that sounds a bit strange). I was on the phone to my friend at the time, asking her what to do and stuff, it is actually a bit tricky, I can't even explain how to put them in because I honestly can't remember they just eventually went in! I had to do it a quite few times then just was like 'IT'S GOING IN WHETHER IT LIKES IT OR NOT!' Hahaha

So when it first went in my eyes started WATERING so bad! It looked like I was crying! It's proberly because I took so long and they were dry! Then there was taking it out and that took another half an hour to do.

But they were so nice! I love the exotic-ness they grey gives to me, because most mixed race people have brown eyes, then green, which is my next colour to get.

They came in little sachets filled with solution & he also gave me another box free which had a bottle of solution, a contact case & a chart of all the colours available:

I would definitely purchase these again, but under flash photography, they don't look that natural unless you edit it down, in daytime they look GORGEOUS!

My overall rating:

8/10

For the uncomfortableness slightly when in my eyes

&

when under flash they don't look natural... but maybe it's just my flash cause I have just a small Samsung camera.

Otherwise perfect! If you want a subtle grey on dark eyes go for these! Sometimes they look like a very dark blue..

They also slide about a tiny bit, not alot... you can kind of see here in my left eye
