please Missguided...

I love missguided, i think it's a great website with reasonably to cheap priced clothes and amazing on-trend pieces, I could easily spend AALLL my money on there. but there is one thing i really rreaaaaally hate about them, and it's their length of the dresses...

(picture source: tumblr)

I'm not a prude person, I do like my dresses and skirts to be a little on the short side, but when it's so short you cannot even lift your arm up a tincy bit without revealing your entire backside, that's when I draw the line. So far i've had to return about 5 dresses from missguided on the basis of it being way too short, and I'm genuinely gutted because they're items i loved and wanted to wear, but i really didn't want my knickers out 24/7... And i'm not even THAT tall! I'm 5'7''!!! what is this sorcery!?!

I'm sure if they asked their 5'8'' models to lift up their arms or bend over a little bit whilst photographing their items on them, their entire backside would be exposed too, this isn't just me suffering, i'm guessing (hoping) there are other tall people like myself suffering from missguided's short people or sluts only dresses.

I once tweeted missguided in a rage after I tried on the dress I had been searching for all my life and way too excited to wear it everyday endlessly, that it was way too short and every time i raised my arm my mother could see my polka dot pants.. she laughed and said i couldn't possibly go out in it, even with tights on.. and she was right! I tweeted them asking them why do they make all their dresses for short people or sluts and they replied along the lines of  'sorry if you find our products inappropriate, we offer a wide range of midi and maxi clothing'... MIDI AND MAXI? i personally hate midi length items, and only have a few maxi items, but i don't want midi or maxi, I want your short dresses but not so short they classify as long tops.. I also sent them another tweet recently in my upset of their lengths and they replied saying they'd pass it along to the appropriate department, so I'm hoping a tall range is in discussion!

This post is probably sounding like i hate missguided, but i genuinely don't, i love them! I still buy from them and wear them nearly everyday and whenever i go out on the town. I seriously wish they'd either make a tall range or add a teeeeeeny bit more on the length on their items, as they're missing out on my student loan here. I on line shop like there's no tomorrow! I've even got their website open on another tab right now and so far would've put about 3 dresses in the basket but I know they'll be way too short! they even look like they skim the bottom of the model! so god know what will be on show if i slutdrop in the dress when i go out!

I'm hoping somewhere out there people agree with me so we can really push for them to cater to taller people who like to keep their dignity, otherwise i'm going to have to miss out on their amazing items forever :(

I love tumblr...

I am addicted to tumblr. I just love scrolling through it on hours on end, whoever invented tumblr needs a knighthood. Here are 2 screenshots of my page at the minute. I reblog mainly girly, rosy themed photos, with the odd pug and Kylie Jenner every now and again. I wish I could print every single of these photos off and decorate my room with them, as I love them all!

There should also be a 'Buy this!' button on Tumblr as the amount of items on it I see I really would love to buy and wear for myself! tumblr does have the ability to make myself feel like shit though, as the amount of gorgeous skinny anf flawless girls on it is depresssing, but it's just a beautiful outlet of imagination and creativity, and it also inspires me so much. If you want to have a follow click on this link to go to my tumblr!

Have you got a tumblr? And if not, will you think about signing up and getting your own?

what did the postman bring me today...

student loan is in, so what is the first thing i do? order myself the urban decay naked 2 palette, and it FINALLY CAME!

 

I've been after it for ages, and have been in debate with myself over whether or not to get the first original one of the second one but i went with the second one after reading and watching about 600,000 reviews on it (thank you each and every blogger who has made a review and comparison post/video on the naked palettes, lifesavers!).

since there isn't a house of fraser near my uni house, which is odd as i thought there was a HOF in every single town, I had to get it delivered and if I spent like £20 more I would get free delivery so I had a look around the site and came across their mascara section. I ran out of my YSL shocking which was my high end mascara of that time, I try to refrain from buying and keeping more than one expensive high end mascara at a time since mascara should be refreshed every so often, and if I had a huge collection of them I'd never use them all up and wouldn't have the heart to chuck them! so i had a look, was eyeing up YSL's babydoll mascara, then googled 'What mascara does Kylie Jenner use?'

Yes I'm being serious, I did google that.. I love her okay...

to discover that she always raves about the Lancome Hypnose Star mascara, so I bought it. One step closer to looking like Kylie Jenner! I haven't used it yet so I will have to do a nice little review on it! It also came with a little facial bottle, guessing it's eye-make up remover and a mini crayon khol pencil in noir. I'm not a huge eyeliner pencil fan but i shall definitely try it out I guess! why not!

Sorry about the AWFUL quality, hopefully a new camera is in sights..

the final two items the Postman kindly brought to my door were my 2 FREE Disney DVDs. YES ABSOLUTELY FREE! I never ever have used them Disney Reward vouchers that you get when you buy the DVD, no idea what they did, until one day I entered them in to see what happens and I had enough points to receive 2 free DVDs! SAFE! I chose Cinderella and Alice in Wonderland. I love these two films! My Disney collection is looking so good right now, I literally am a child I swear! Mental age of 5!

so that is my haul, I really hate my camera's quality. I've had this camera for about 7 years now so i'm looking into swapping it in for a newer model. it was only £50 when I first bought it and it's shocking haha. I'm really wanting to invest in a DSLR whatever they're called, but I don't know where to begin! need to research some decent camera models and brands!

Thanks for reading, hope you liked it and see you next blogpost!

Always been a trendsetter...

 I came across this photograph of me when I was younger and couldn't stop laughing. WHAT am I wearing? We all must have these photos though where we are like, what was I thinking haha! I believe this is me before a bowling party, and oh my golly gosh, so freaking stylish!

 Rocking a blue bandana, pink jumper and denim flares with what looks like a daisy print detail finished off with some sports trainers, I don't understand why we don't all still dress like this really... I mean comon.. this is so Cara D obviously..

 

Do you remember or have any memories of any fashion disasters?

my new little boots,

I had a £40 Topshop gift voucher given to me from my work experience and had been searching for something to buy with it for months. Finally I found these beauties of boots,

 

They're incredibly comfortable and look so cute for Autumn. They also keep your feet so warm so they'll also be perfect for winter (that's if I don't ruin them from wearing them every single day!). I wore them to the zoo and felt like Lara Croft running round in boots, thankfully I didn't get them dirty! I am now growing an obsession for Topshop boots, as I bought another pair straight after these ones, and am eyeing up my next pair. My other boots, which are black with buckles down them, aren't as comfy though, so I'm scared to wear them! I need to break them in and make them less blister causing ankle ripping..

Do you like Topshop's boots, and have you bought any lately?

Until next blogpost!

Laura Likes: Tumblr Pictures #2

 

Trust there to be Kylie Jenner images in my Tumblr picks this week. I literally love her and her style. And as you can tell I love interior images, mainly white shabby chic rooms with fluffy rugs, bunting, vintage frames and vanity tables, I wish my room would look like this! I've also been going through my 'To Ombre or not to Ombre' stage again, I had this last summer and was talked out of it but again, I really want it! But I don't want to ruin my hair and have my natural curls drop, as I love my curly hair. Issues!

Until next blogpost!
