Lately the only time i seem to post is on a tuesday, i don't kno why  no i know why its cos tuesdays are so amazing.
Today was the same as any other 4 and a half hours of college spent sitting around doing nothing, today with the addition of a mini photoshoot which was pretty fun :) cant wait to share the pics.
Our photoshoot was basically so we have professional quality photos for our portfolios, being college it was never gonna be amazing, but i cant wait to see the pics :). My skeleton hat which is my embellishment for my hat took me sooo many hours to finish, and in my opinion it was worth every second.

As i've not got the college pics yet we will have to make do with the quick shots i took of my little sister wearing it.

Now its time for I'm a Celeb and thn The vampire diaries straight after and i can not wait for it, i swear i get too excited.

Beads beads beads...

The end of a college project is always stressful, there's so much work to get done and stuff to actually finish. Deadlines are the things I hate the most I go into stress overload especially on the day :(
Atm we have 2 weeks before this dreaded day and already the stress and nerves are kicking in. So our semi major project is called the couture project and requires us to create, a corset inspired by a couture designer, a sketch book, and 2 mounted textile techniques.

This is the one I'm stressing about the most as it's gotta be good (so I won't bother telling u about our other project) and the standard is high. As it's couture I thought beads were very much in order, I'm starting to hate this decision. I have beaded for a grand estimated total of around 20+ hours it's difficult to tell as I never time myself. This time has been spent beading various different samples and pictures for my sketchbook along with one of my mounted techniques. And finally my final corset :o which is hopefully going to have a ribcage beaded onto it in the style of a rococo wall panel, sounds very complex but whn I post pics of it and my sketchbook (fingers crossed) u will kno wht I'm going on about.

So my designer is givenchy and one dress in particular, it's a figure hugging, sheer crystal covered piece of art. The thing that I love about it most, isn't that it's just a beautiful garment, it's the attention to detail (after all it is couture) and the inspiration behind it.
It was inspired by an artist whose obsessions were religion and the human anatomy (where the ribcage idea is from). It's gotta look good!!

Soo I think I've babbled way too much well it looks alot on my tiny iPhone screen, but at least it's helping to take my mind off of beading atm it's stuck going "must finish beading" "need to bead" hopefully it will shut up and let me sleep.
Again sorry for the annoying/boring post and for any spelling or txt speak

It's finally Tuesday and I'm soo glad I've been waiting all week for today, and it's gone by too quickly :(
Each week is the same I just end up wishing the days away till it's Tuesday again :) Most of u probably already kno tht Tuesday's are my fav days of the week lol. Why? Well my strange obsession with the vampire diaries are the reason for this love of tuesdays, oh and that new episodes of two and a half men, how I met your mother and 90210 get posted online.
This Tuesday was the same as any other the vampire diaries and chocolate, :) oh with the added bonus of seeing In Time at the cinema before hand. If you have not been to see this then I highly recommend u go see it asap it's soo good. My new episodes will have to wait till tomorro I didn't get to squeeze them in today.
Another Tuesday well spent :) and am already counting down the days till the next one.

Blog abandonment

Of late I feel like I've abandoned my blog, wait i'm not gonna lie I have. I feel really bad but I just can't seem to bring myself to blog lately I guess I have a little slice of bloggers block. So to try and cure this I'm going to start off gently and ease into it gently. I'm sorry that this is a boring post but I'm gonna try and make it more interesting :) promise!!

City and Colour - Sleeping Sickness

I don't really know what to say about this dude other thn he is amazing and i guess if you like acoustic style stuff thn you are bound to like him as well.
I think hes stuff is quite relaxing and quite similar to ed sheeran just with a beard.

So its finally tuesday! YAY!!
Why am i so excited?? Well theres only one answer and that is because tuesday is the vampire diaries day :)
I kno i shouldn't be so excited for a tv show or wish my week away for 1 hour of vampire awesomeness but i cant help it. Any of you out there will understand what i'm going on abt.

The first time i watched this show i was hooked and have been ever since, in my opinion its better than twilight. The storyline is fuller and has more twists in it, its not the standard girl meets boy girl falls for boy & boy turns out to be a vampire kinda thing. The characters are easier too put up with especially for starters the main girl character doesn't look like shes always in pain and can't bare to look at anyone and nobody has an annoying ott texas accent. The vampires are not pale white and sparkle in the sunlight there more like everyday people which happen to feed on blood and are super fast. And the playlist always seems to be amazing and match the mood of the episode which i guess its kinda ment to but they do have some amazing songs on there. Also atm im loving the little twist in the storyline which without giving too much away to them people who haven't watched it yet but the pic below will give you a clue.

Now that i have got totally sidetracked on a non fashion related subject, and have told u most of my views on this subject other than the fact tht damon salvatore is 1 hot vampire, im gonna move on quickly.
*I just found this link on ITV's facebook page 10 reasons to watch the vampire diaries*

The vampire diaries is not the onli show that seems to air on a tuesday theres also good old
How I Met Your Mother and the new series of Two And A Half Men which im realli liking.
Another reason i love tuesdays is because its two for two tuesdays at dominos the onli place to ever get pizza from. And for the first time in ages we actually have enuf money to get 1 :) i can't wait.

One of our pizzas with 3 leaflets on now i like pizza but not tht much..

In my opinion tuseday is a pretty damn good day and if anyone agrees with me or has any other reasons to add go ahead and comment below i'd love to know what days ur favourite and wht u like about them.
Have fun!! Bex xx
