Countdown to Christmas 20 Days

2011-12-06T09:08:00.000-08:00

2Hello Beauties,
I've decided to do a 'Countdown to Christmas' post everyday until Christmas because I finally feel that its nearing Christmas, probably because of how cold it was today :( And every post I will do something Christmassy. :)

So for today...

20 DAYS TO GO!

Today's is pretty rubbish and very short because I have a lot of homework to do , but I promise, they will get better!

A Christmas Joke:

Knock Knock,

Who's There?

Mary,

Mary who?

MARY CHRISTMAS!

Thanks for reading, there'll be another post tomorrow!

Keep reading,

Love Amelia x

NEW! tingssss

2011-12-04T11:35:00.000-08:00

Hello Beauties,
Just to introduce you to this new thing I'm having on mi blog. I've drawn 8 cartoon girls to 'illustrate' my blog with. Each post I do I will put a girl on it depending on what type of post it is as I have given each girl a purpose.
This is actually more difficult to explain that I thought...

So these pictures might help :)

I drew them on a train to London when I was bored with a Biro and some really bad gel pens so they're not very good :( but each one has a different colour and 'specification' to so with them.

The Music Girl

The girl who reports all things to do with music and she has bronze earphones :)

The Celebrity Girl

She reports on anything to do with celebrities and she has a silver belt.

The Photographer

She 'takes all the photos' and has red lips.

The Writer

She writes some and edits all the blog posts, she has a green necklace.

The Style Spotter

She 'spots' the new trends everywhere and she has a gold buckle on her bag.

The Beauty Expert

She does everything to do with beauty and she has purple buttons on her cardigan.

The Fashionista

Writes about fashion and has a blue collar on her t-shirt.

The News and Other Girl

She writes about the news and basically anything else, she also has pink glasses.

So , I hope you like them even though they were drawn very badly, they don't have names yet...

so if you have name ideas for any of them please comment below! :)

So please keep reading!!!!

Love Amelia x

Look At The Stars

2011-11-29T14:33:00.000-08:00

Look at the stars

Look how they shine for you

And everything you do

Yeah they were all yellow

I came along

I wrote a song for you

And all the things you do

And it was called yellow

So then I took my turn

Oh what a thing to have done

And it was all yellow

Your skin

Oh yeah your skin and bones

Turn into something beautiful

You know you know I love you so

You know I love you so

I swam across

I jumped across for you

Oh what a thing to do

Cause you were all yellow

I drew a line

I drew a line for you

Oh what a thing to do

And it was all yellow

Your skin

Oh yeah your skin and bones

Turn into something beautiful

And you know

For you I'd bleed myself dry

It's true

Look how they shine for you

Look how they shine for

Look how they shine for you

Look how they shine

Look at the stars

Look how they shine for you

And all the things that you do

Nails

2011-11-29T10:11:00.000-08:00

Hello Beauties,
This is just a bit of writing and a lot of pictures on some fake nails I bought, not to wear because I don't like the feeling of having false nails on, but to just practice my technique on.

So, firstly...
The tiger inspired nails...

I used the Rimmel '080 black cab' lasting finish, Rimmel fruity scents '053 apricot punch' and yellow Miss Sporty nail polishes. I also bought 100 fake nails on eBay for £2.98 and I got a free glue :) I would highly recommend the seller as they came in 2 days of me buying them!!!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100-False-Fake-French-Nails-Nail-Art-Tips-Make-Up-UK-/160632085457?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D2%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D4541579949775010375#ht_7312wt_1037

Method:
Step 1...

Paint your nail in a yellowy colour.
Step 2...

Pain one half of your nail with an orangey colour (I used a peachy colour that turned orange because I didn't have any orange nail polish)

Step 3...

Get a needle and did it in black nail polish, then almost lie the needle 1/2 to 3/4 across your nail (it doesn't matter if its not perfectly straight, Tigers don't have perfectly straight stripes!)

Or, if your not a fan of these colours you could use different colours...

Thanks for reading,

Love Amelia

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas... STOCKING FILLERS!

2011-11-07T14:25:00.000-08:00

Hello Beauties,
I've just made a list of what I think to be my top 10 stocking fillers for CHRISTMAS 2011.

No.10

One Day by David Nicholls
You can buy it at any bookshop or online.
The best price is on Amazon at £3.69 for a new copy (save £4.30) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0340896981/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=103612307&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=0340896965&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=07GVRXDRKDE07BECEBBJ
Everyone loves a good book, especially in winter, and this book is a really good read! I've read it twice and each time I've loved it! If you don't know what 'One Day' is about: it's a love story about 2 young adults that meet on their graduation night and the book revisits that day of their lives for the next few years. This book has just been made into a brilliant film starring Anne Hathaway as one of the main characters 'Emma'.

No.9

Hollister Laguna Beach Body Spray
It is £10 or you can buy 2 items from the same range for £14.
http://www.hollisterco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=11558&storeId=19659&langId=-1&topCategoryId=85265&categoryId=85753&parentCategoryId=85743
This is quite a girly smell if I'm honest, but it is my favorite of the Hollister body sprays. It's got quite good 'staying power' and I use it a lot after P.E.

No.8

Vintage Stamps from Anthropologie.
The stamp set costs £5.
http://www.anthropologie.eu/en/uk/at-the-desk/vintage-stamps/invt/7585470270004/
In the set you get 50 stamps which are all 10cm square.
Perfect for a stamp collector or just for an amazing gift! I'm not a stamp collector but I would buy these any day! Show your worldliness with souvenirs from around the globe without leaving the comfort of your home.
As I've said in a previous post, Anthropologie only has 3 shops in the UK so If you live in the UK it's likely that you will have to order online. However when you do order online the item comes beautifully packaged.

No.7

Cath Kidston Bird Charm Bracelet
Can be bought for £30 from Cath Kidston.
http://www.cathkidston.co.uk/p-16808-cath-kidston-birds-enamel-bracelet.aspx
This is probably the most expensive item on the list and I was debating whether or not to class it as a 'stocking filler' as it was quite expensive but I put it in the list because it was small :) This bracelet would make any wrist or hand look elegant with the dainty chain and elegant birds.

No.6

Paperchase Butterfly Journal
£8.75 at Paperchase.
http://www.paperchase.co.uk/invt/00487956/
This journal has blank pages so can be used for anything: writing a diary, drawing, painting, important dates, etc.
Everyone needs a notebook and this is one of my favorites!

No.5

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
The book can be bought from any book shop or online, again, the cheapest is on Amazon for £4.55 (£3.44 cheaper).
http://www.amazon.co.uk/-/dp/1847394078?tag=invihand-21
This is an amazing read and is soon to be coming out as a movie starring Emma Watson as 'Sam'.
In my opinion, its a book for readers 12+ because of some 'sexual' content. However my 10 year old sister has read it and she found it ok. The book is about a boy in America who has to tackle all the different elements of growing up.

No.4

Jack Wills Bootham socks
£14.50 at Jack Wills.
http://www.jackwills.com/en-gb/product/bootham-socks-011056110
EVERYONE NEEDS a pair of socks for Christmas, it just wouldn't be Christmas without them! So instead of some boring sold socks from Tesco why not buy these exciting, comfy socks from Jack Wills? These are on my personal Christmas list at the moment and I am looking forward to getting them on Christmas morning.

No.3

Cath Kidston 2012 Diary
£10 at Cath Kidston or many other bookshops.
http://www.cathkidston.co.uk/c-884-diaries-address-books.aspx
Like socks, everyone also needs a diary for the New Year. These diaries have beautiful patterns and also patterned printed pages.

No.2

OPI 'Rainbow Connection' nail polish from the Muppets Collection.
£10.50 at most retailers.
http://www.beautybay.com/cosmetics/opi/rainbowconnection/
I ADORE this colour and I think I might have to buy it before Christmas as it is so colourful and perfect for the party season!

No.1

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2.
Preorder £8.47 from Amazon.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Harry-Potter-Deathly-Hallows-Part/dp/B004NBYRYC/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1320704085&sr=1-1
The movie will arrive just in time for Christmas on the 2nd December in the UK and 11th November in The USA. I don't think I'll be able to wait fr Christmas for this, so it's not going to be in my stocking! After all, it is the movie of the year!!! Everyone, who is anyone has to have this on DVD!!!!

So thanks for reading, please comment with ideas for more posts and what you want for Christmas!

Keep reading,

Love Amelia x

WORLDS BEST APPLE JUICE!

2011-11-06T08:04:00.000-08:00

Hello Beauties,
This is a bit of a weird blog! The topic is 'apple juice'. I'm not and never have been a big fan of apple juice, I've never really liked it but this apple juice is like drinking heaven!

Actually Voss Water is like drinking heaven but this apple juice is a close second.

Ok, the apple juice is called...

SPARTAN by ONCE UPON A TREE

So yeah, thanks for reading.

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas... DECORATIONS!

2011-11-06T03:54:00.000-08:00

Hello Beauties,

I know 'Christmas Decorations' isn't the most exciting topic but the tree and home decorations from Anthropologie (http://www.anthropologie.eu/uk/page/home) are far from boring.

These 6 tree animals are AMAZING! They look so cute and I know they're not extremely Christmasy but they are different and unique. Each animal can be bought online at Anthropologie, prices range from £8 to £14. You could put them on your main Christmas tree, or if they don't fit in with your main tree's style or theme you could buy a small tree for your room to put them on. I have a small tree in my room just because love Christmas and I can decorate the tree the way I want!

The Fox:

Cute. The fox is £14 and the link is here ---> http://www.anthropologie.eu/en/uk/decorations/scampering-fox-ornament/invt/7585602170036/&bklist=icat,5,shop,forchristmas,shopbychristmas,christmasdecorations

The Stag:

One of my favorites because it reminds me of Harry's Patronus from Harry Potter (btw I LOVE Harry Potter!)
and it looks very Christmasy too! It is also £14, the link ---> http://www.anthropologie.eu/en/uk/decorations/snow-stag-ornament/invt/7585602030027/&bklist=icat,5,shop,forchristmas,shopbychristmas,christmasdecorations

The Robin:

My overall favorite because it is soft, fluffy and look cute, not to mention that its the cheapest one at £8. I associate robins with Christmas so this ones great for me! The link ---> http://www.anthropologie.eu/en/uk/decorations/fluffed-chickadee-ornament/invt/7585432010001/&bklist=icat,5,shop,forchristmas,shopbychristmas,christmasdecorations

The Hedgehog:

£10 link ---> http://www.anthropologie.eu/en/uk/decorations/prickly-hedgehog-ornament/invt/7585460190001/&bklist=icat,5,shop,forchristmas,shopbychristmas,christmasdecorations

The Owl:

Probably my least favorite but still cute £12 link ---> http://www.anthropologie.eu/en/uk/decorations/wispy-owl-ornament/invt/7585460190004/&bklist=icat,5,shop,forchristmas,shopbychristmas,christmasdecorations

The Squirrel:

Another one of my favorites! £14 link ---> http://www.anthropologie.eu/en/uk/decorations/nutty-squirrel-ornament/invt/7585602170032/&bklist=icat,5,shop,forchristmas,shopbychristmas,christmasdecorations

So those are all the animal tree decorations, but Anthropologie has more!

This is a tree snowglobe in the shape of a salt-shaker.
(http://www.anthropologie.eu/en/uk/decorations/salt-shaker-snow-globe/invt/7585602570002/&bklist=icat,5,shop,forchristmas,shopbychristmas,christmasdecorations)

There are lots more of these so go and look at them on the website! ;)

They also have tonnes more tree decorations...

Including a range of fruit and vegetables, like this fig
(http://www.anthropologie.eu/en/uk/decorations/harvest-frost-fig-ornament/invt/7585432540001/&bklist=icat,5,shop,forchristmas,shopbychristmas,christmasdecorations)
which is £20.

I would Strongly recommend ordering the catalogue, which is free (http://www.anthropologie.eu/en/uk/browse-catalogues/catalogue-request/page/catalogue/)
its a really nicely printed one!

Plus if you order anything online it comes really nicely packaged! I can only order online because I live in Yorkshire and they only have 3 shops in the UK -2 are in London and 1 is in Edinburgh- store locator---> http://www.anthropologie.eu/en/uk/store-locations/page/storelocations/

Helena Bonham-Carter is known to shop at Anthropologie!!!

link to the YouTube video that she says this ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg77CYJrDKY

So, thank you for reading!

Nicki Minaj

2011-10-19T11:40:00.000-07:00

Hello Beauties,

Just a piece about Nicki Minaj. Comment if you like her I'm interested to know who does as I can't stand her! Of course I have nothing against people who like her it's just that I've never really liked her or her music.

In my opinion shes... "not suitable". I mean, have you seen the clothes she wears?!? I would insert pictures but I wouldn't want to be labelled as a porn site.

I'm not saying shes ugly but she isn't exactly pretty is she? Come on, have you seen her on this picture...

Whats with the cheap looking fake nails? And the chavvy outfit? Please comment if you think she looks nice, it might just be me who thinks she looks utterly disgusting.

And I think she dresses too much like Lady Gaga. Well, she tries to. However she always fails in my eyes. Lady Gaga dresses in unusual, creative outfits but they always seem to look really nice (most of them anyway).

See? She looks pretty on these pictures! The Hello Kitty one is a little odd, but still its better than this...

Need I say anything?

So thanks for reading, please comment on what you think on Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj!

Keep reading!

Autumn Winter 2011 Catwalks - Boy Style

2011-09-18T04:21:00.000-07:00

Hello Beauties,
For sharp ideas on tailoring, designers borrowed from he boys. Dressy menswear- tuxedos, cummerbunds, silk ties and overcoats- is a neat option for evening, but the most sensuous looks added a feminine spin by teaming with a desirably silk shirt or sparkly trousers and heels.

Once again I'm just going to show you some of my favourite pieces from the 2011 catwalks. Enjoy and comment with which looks you liked!

Think Masculine suiting, tweed, a classic white shirt, brogues, a trilby hat...

Tibi This outfit is probably one of the more feminine outfits in the 'menswear' category, as it has a beautifully, girly, frilly top matched with a gorgeously defining white jacket. The trousers look fabulous too as they, like the jacket, define your leg, in the same way the black collar defines the white jacket; the white and black of the jacket is such a contrast, it makes the white look even whiter!

Stella McCartney
This piece of Stella McCartney's is quite plain, but with a simple charm.

"This season we made the collection more masculine in some places and more feminine in others, playing around with silhouette, layering and movement"
Stella McCartney

Chanel-
Chanel has gone for darker shades, like these greys, with no contrasting white like the previous 2 image. But Chanel has once again stunned me with just how beautiful the designs are.

Coco Chanel loved a girl in boy's clothes- and her brand of chic subversion is everywhere this season.

Paul Smith-
This coat is a kind of coat that you would see on a man walking to work or through town in winter etc. It does look like a man's coat, actually I think my Granddad has a coat like this, but Paul Smith has changed it so it looks like the perfect winter accessory.

"I was listening to a lot of Patti Smith when I was working on the collection, so that definitely had an impact on what I sent down the catwalk. I love her boyish look."
Paul Smith

DKNY-
Just had to do 2 pictures for DKNY! Both the outfits are gorgeous!
1st picture-
The leather just looks so nice and luxurious with the gorgeous cream coat and I love the contrasting colours.
2nd picture-
This outfit is also amazing! I love the shoes because of the two-tone on them, as I said before I love contrasting colours, and they just go so well with the jacket (which I also adore)

Moschino-
This coat is one of the more feminine pieces of the outfit, I also think that this ensemble crosses over into the 'Fetish' look too, just because of the hat.

"The pieces most representative of this collection were snatched from men's wardrobes, but the exacting style and rigid line of tailcoats, tuxedos and riding jackets has been toned down with precious fabrics and decoration"

Rosella Jardini, Moschino

So, I hope you like the post, I would love to hear what your favourite 'boy style' pieces from the a/w 2011 catwalks were and comment with ideas for more posts or videos.

BTW!! please check out my YouTube channel where I do videos related to my posts.
So if you want to watch the 'Boy Style' video that I've made follow this link- http://www.youtube.com/user/elegantangelx?feature=mhee

Autumn Winter 2011 Catwalks - Jewel Tones

2011-09-13T11:29:00.000-07:00

Hello Beauties,
Yes, there was a lot of black of the catwalks (it's the autumn collections, isn't there always?) but it was punctuated by colours that dazzled like prize gems: emerald, amethyst, garnet, ruby, sapphire... For maximum impact, glistening sequins and silks give jewel-toned creations a glamour that's simply priceless.

All the images are of designer, catwalk, clothes. They are extremely expensive. And, like many others I simply can not afford these clothes so I go out shopping and buy items of clothing from high street stores that resemble these high fashion masterpieces! Hope this tip was useful!

"These deep gem shades are exotic, mesmerising and so impactful"
Harriet Quick, fashion features director.

Emerald-

One of my favourite emerald catwalk pieces was from Gucci; this dress was a complex masterpiece (as you can see in the picture above)

This gorgeous kind of casual dress also caught my eye, the green is such a lovely colour and I, personally, love the colour combination of brown and green.
This dress is very 60's, 70's style and at the actual catwalk show the model wore a black kind of cowboy style hat and a bright orange bag, which I thought really made the dress stand out. However I didn't like the hat too much. By Marc by Marc Jacobs.

This coat is a bit darker than the other greens. I love these style of coats as they compliment most figures. This outfit has been another marvellous creation by Chanel, bravo, I applaud you!

Amethyst-

I absolutely ADORE the colour purple and so, amethyst being my favourite gem stone, I love the amethyst coloured clothes out there this autumn.

I couldn't find a picture that better displays the coat, but I think the catwalk model did tit more justice than this model. But the coat looks so rich and expensive its unreal! By Versace.

"Jewel colours have taken over from the brights of last season, and with names like garnet, sapphire and citrine they instantly give you the feeling of owning something rich and luxurious"
Miranda Almond, fashion editor

Ruby-

This coat does look a bit orange in this picture, but trust me, its red! I love the elegant sophisticated style of this coat and the colour is so bright, you'll be sure to stand out. By Alberta Ferretti.

Garnet-

The picture on the left is the only picture I could find of my favourite outfit in the 'garnet' section of the a/w catwalk pictures. It's just so, British, and it has a wonderful countryside feel to it which I love!

"Embrace the inky hues of Renaissance paintings. Wear for day and night as a new, sophisticated alternative to black"

Kate Phelan, fashion director.

Sapphire-

I liked this coat a lot, as it has a simple charm, looks exquisite and, frankly, I love the colour. It's by Jil Sander.

Citrine-

For me, this dress, is the absolute image of elegance, as it just has a beautiful air of grace about it. This masterpiece was created by Bottega Veneta.

So thanks for reading, beauties! Please comment with your views, ideas, opinions, etc.

Please keep reading!

Hello Beauties,
Hi from elegantangel! It's my first blog on blogger before and what I aim to do is get you involved when I write about beauty and fashion.

As I just said, I write about anything to do with beauty or fashion. I will write about anything you want me too aswell, what ever it is ( If you have any ideas on what I could write about please comment or send me an email at elegantangel@hotmail.co.uk )

So about me, well the basics are:
<3 I'm 15 (born 12th April 1996)
<3 I've got brown hair
<3 I've got blue eyes
<3 I'm 5ft8" tall

Oh, and my name is Amelia Jones!

Please read again!

Love Amelia x
