So I may be a bit ahead, but I already got dresses for Colours Ball and VoScAs :'D Which are both in May...
I didn't got to Colours Ball last year, but I did go to VoScAs and some might remember my dress from then. This year I'm aiming to attend both, since I already got the dresses :D
Cue photos taken in our lovely kitchen which is the only place with enough space (and light) to take photos with timer....
Aaand this is the one I'll wear for Colours Ball. I originally wanted the green one, but they only had size 10 left, and apparently I'm a size 8 when it comes to Forever Unique's dresses :'D
Not that I'm complaining! The blue one is gorgeous~
No zipper!
I panicked for a second thinking how I'm supposed to get it on. But then I realised it's stretchy enough :D
Well, then. Now we all just need to wait until May in order to see how I'm look in these in the end x)
Hello once again. This time I’ll shortly tell you about Freshers’ Week, when I volunteered for SU’s Freshers’ Crew once again, and spent a lot of time meeting new people and partying. I'll be back to "serious" blogging soon.
It started on 15th and finished on 22nd of September. During this time I went out every night, apart from that last Saturday. I also volunteered/worked on most of the days, so you can bet your sweet ass I was a tired, emotional mess by the end of that. But it was SO much fun.
The first night out that I actually have photo proof of, was on Sunday (16th) when there was an event called Circus Sunday. Now, I had done a make-up design quite some time ago inspired by Kid Cudi’s The Ruler and the Killer.
Here’s the design in question.
And since it was a Circus Sunday, and my costume was darkly coloured anyway, I thought it’d be a perfect opportunity for me to try the design in question for the first time.
This is what it turned out like:
Eyes open.
Eyes (nearly) closed.
And here you can see my costume for the night:
I look... funny x)
The second night out was... A RAVE. Well, an UV Party on Monday to which I boringly enough wore a white top, short orange shorts (these ones), and slapped yellow, orange and blue make-up accompanied with bright pink lips. There is ONE picture of me from that night, but I look ridiculous in it so I’m NOT showing it to you x)
Tuesday was my day off from volunteering, but I still couldn’t stay away from the party, and so I joined my friends at the Bavariafest in the evening. I don’t even drink alcohol, but singing drinking songs along the band and watching others taking part in drinking games was fun. The band was a Bavarian Oompah Band and they really got everyone going :D It was great fun, although I didn’t stay too long since I had a morning shift the next day.
On Wednesday we had the very first social night, where all the societies welcomed their new members. We (the dancers aka Saints) had a “scribble social” where everyone took an ordinary, blank, white t-shirt or top, some markers and asked people to write on them. I gotta say that my t-shirt didn’t survive from the rude comments, and a lot of people were trying to claim their ownership over me on my t-shirt... Someone wrote “Isaac was here 2012”, but I gotta admit that I don’t even know this Isaac. But once again, I had fun and it was a great night with the new puppies of the dance society.
I wasn’t supposed to work on Thursday, BUT I somehow ended up going to the Uni and helping out by standing there in my Freshers’ Crew t-shirt.

That night I went to the Foam Party. I went to one last year as well, but this time I decided to take part in it. The foam was all the way to my knees, my friend Josie and I were SOAKED, our hairs were a mess, but we had fun. We even met two non-students and I named one of them Chin, because he looked part Hawaiian and refused to be called Kono or Keahu.

Getting soaked and getting my ballerina flats horrendously smelly (they smelled of alcohol, cigarettes, soap and all kinds of things)? WORTH IT. Who knew foam parties could be so much fun!?
Friday... Friday, Friday, Friday. I did not have a shift on Friday. But I spent the day getting ready for the night and Freshers’ Premier (which is always supposed to be a bit fancier with champagne etc. involved). At this point, I have to back up a bit in time.
Mari-liis, the extremely kind person she is, had forced me to order this specific dress from Forever Unique. Fine, she didn’t FORCE me, but she did show it to me and I bet she KNEW I would feel the need to order it, so that’s the same as forcing, right? Anyway, it was one of the most prettiest and cutest dresses I had ever seen and apparently “so me” that I couldn’t resist ordering it EVEN if the last size was 8 (I’m usually a 10 or a 12). And it was the last dress of that colour they had. So I ordered it, and waited for it to arrive so I could check if it actually fits. The dress had actually arrived on Tuesday, and of course I opened the packet immediately to see if it was as beautiful live as it was in pictures.
I screamed when I saw the packet.
Then I screamed a bit more.
Then I actually opened it:
And screamed even more because OF THE COLOURS AND EVERYTHING.
Then I took it out and found these on the bottom:
Extra tulle and sparkles!!!
And then I FINALLY put it on (and screamed some more):
Front (duh?).
Back.
Because it fit me!!!
So that was my dress for Friday sorted. When Friday arrived, I felt like a princess so I made myself look like one:
My boobs look small...
I think two pictures were taken of me at the Premier before I got just too emotional about stuff and started crying in the VIP area just before my friends dragged me into a photo with the Loveable Rogues. Thankfully enough, in that photo there is this random, pink effect on my face and over one of the band members, so no one can see my red eyes.
Otherwise it was quite a good night and a great finish to the long week. I slept like a baby on Saturday and Sunday, gathering my energy for the following week, which meant lecturers, dance rehearsals, and all kinds of exciting things.
Now, here’s the last nail polish sample!. Well, the last before I show you the NEW polishes I got:
Flormar Supershine Miracle Colors U09.
U09 with Flormar Matifying top-coat.
And that’s it about my extremely interesting life this time. Stay human, and blog ya later!
Oh! Here’s the song that inspired my eye make-up design:
PS. YOU SHOULD MOST PROBABLY VOTE FOR OBAMA IF YOU CAN.
After today's Physical Theatre lecture I decided to go to Primark to see if they have some animal print leggings (which we will need for our Physical Theatre assessment, it's not like I REALLY want to wear them, and even when I have to, I'll wear something to cover my ass!), as well as to buy a new strapless bra. I was also running out of nail polish remover so I decided to kill two birds with one stone and drop by Superdrug on my way home.
What I was meant to get from my small shopping trip: - Strapless bra
- Nail polish remover
What I ended up getting:
Bra, a top, nail polish remover, nail buffer, crystal nail file, and two packets of hair removal cream.
Well, what else can I say than "Ooops."? I don't even have money for all this crap so I don't know WHY I got all of that... probably because it all ended up costing me only £20. (EXCUSES, EXCUSES.) I am still looking for jobs, and just dropped three CVs to different places AGAIN. I just hope someone would hire me soon, and if they don't, I'll just hope it was because I'm over-qualified or something.
Anyhooow, when I got home I decided to try my new bra on to see how it goes with my new dress which I got some time ago. Btw, reason for this sudden bra purchase is the fact I am nominated for an award in our University's Students' Union's Volunteering and Society Awards.
I don't even care that they completely screwed up my surname because I'm so excited xD
The event is held at Worcestershire County Cricket Club, which is apparently a quite nice place to hold formal events. They also informed that the dress code is formal, so I'll provide you all with a simple three row explanation which also helps to establish the fact that I needed a new bra:
Dress code: formal. My dress: strapless.
My bras: with straps.
So after putting on my bra and the dress, I asked my flatmate Monica to take some pictures:
Excuse my chubby feet.
Waterfall in the back!
I said something about feeling like a spring bride, which we both laughed at. And then we just got kinda crazy...
Stepford The Tything Wives
So yeah... I do think that half of those should totally be included in a bridal catalogue. *nod nod*
I also got a new nail polish the other day, which I blame Jai for, because I saw it on her blog first!
I'm in the middle of my manicure here, hence the nail polish in places it should be.
I think that's about it this time, I'm going to go and continue my manicure now. Stay human and blog ya later~!
