Lots of pictures of my baby brother this week! His new obsession is Ice Age and I must have watched it literally like 20 times AT LEAST these past few days.  As I said in my previous post I've been so busy with work lately it feels like I've hardly been at home, despite having lounged around for days on end.

I'm currently compiling a car playlist for my roadtrip on Tuesday (mentioned in last post) and have got a few good songs but need more! Any of you have any ideas for songs to put on the playlist? (of course Bohemian Rhapsody is already on there!) Hope you all had good weekends (:

Friday the twenty-fifth of May

Instagram - amyvalentinex

I was going to post this on the day but my phone wasn't connecting to my computer properly and I've been away from home/super busy all weekend.  Since starting my new job at Next last saturday I've done four shifts, which is a ton of overtime, totalling 16 hours, and considering I'm only contracted to work 3 hours a weekend that's a lot; made £84 in just over a week which I'm proud of myself for!

My friend Loulie passed her test on friday so me, her and Polly are all going on a road trip on Tuesday to celebrate the end of exams, and will be spending a couple of days at Polly's dad's house in Bedford which should hopefully be fun!

Fifi Lapin

The lovely Lily had a giveaway on her blog, Red Brick Lipstick the other week for an Iconemesis phone case so obviously I entered, thinking I probably won't win it, then after I received an email saying that I was one of two winners! It arrived a few days after and I'm honestly in love with it.  It looks so much nicer on my white iPhone than the drop dead one I had on it previously (not that I still don't love the kitty) and it feels sturdy and is smooth to hold.  If you're an iPhone owner I would definitely check out the Iconemesis website here as they have some absolutely gorgeous cases, all created by popular graphic designers!  And if you want to get the teacup case, the listing is here!

Lime Crime D'Lilac Opaque Lipstick

I've wanted a Lime Crime lipstick for what seems like forever and after seeing the Redrock editorial with the blue lipstick I just had to buy one! I was going to buy one of the nude or pink shades, but you can find them anywhere, so I went with the gorgeous lavendar colour, D'Lilac, as it's more of an uncommon colour!  The lipstick is gorgeous and is so pigmented, really creamy, completely opaque and easy to apply.  I wore it yesterday and it lasted a couple of hours before I needed to reapply.  The good thing is that instead of going all skanky, it actually fades into a sort of brighter magenta which is weird, but a nice colour nevertheless!  I'm so happy with the lipstick, I will definitely be wearing it out all the time and I would recommend it to anyone!

Anyway, I'm off to cram so good luck to anyone experiencing exams at the moment!

IRIDESCENT Vintage Leather Satchel

I've decided recently that IRIDESCENT needs a bit of a revamp and looking at all the vintage boutiques around the internet lately I've been interested in that.  The other day I found a gorgeous real leather vintage satchel, exactly on trend and I'm selling it for the extremely low price of £49.99!  It's large so will fit books and laptops in with plenty of room and is of a very high quality with no signs of wear.  Click here to see the listing.  I've brought in a few vintage items lately and will be listing them all after I've photographed them so I'm really excited!

Spotlight: REDROCK

Isn't the REDROCK lookbook totally awesome! I've known about their shop for a little while now and wanted to just spread the word to you guys! I'm totally loving the whole vintage renewal thing and the variety of items on REDROCK is just awesome, from quirky vintage bags to nu-punk spiked detached collars, they have everything for the vintage lover.  Check out the website here.  My favourite items have got to be the studded pastel pink velour dress here, cropped acid tee here and blue spiked collar shirt here! What do you think of the brand? Which items are your favourite?

I got a car!?

I turned 17 in October and have been having lessons since then, and the other day my instructor said that I was ready to put in for my driving test, unfortunately the soonest space I could get is in mid july, yep.  Anyway, my dad said that after I got really good GCSE results last year he would give me £2000 for a car, which I think is really generous.  There was a Blackbushe car auction today and my dad said he'd go, but mainly to have a look, and wasn't promising anything, next thing I know I receive an email with a picture and find out he'd actually bought me a car!  It's a 2005 Nissan Micra with a good mileage and I've absolutely fallen in love with it!  It's the car I've wanted for ages and it's surprisingly really spacious inside and I can't wait to pass my test.

There was a little bit of a shenanigan when I got home though; my dad being all daddish put the keys in the ignition all ready for me to get in when I arrived home from college so I could have a play with the car, and didn't realise the car had an auto-lock function.  To cut a long story short he had to pay a locksmith like £115 to come over and basically break into my car for me which was totally weird so congrats to my father for reaching a new level of brilliant, but most of all, welcome to the family little Micra, I hope we have many adventures together!
