Bucket List

Whaddup nerds.
So a bucket list is a very common thing, they took over Tumblr a couple of years ago and since then everyone has one, or posts about them. I'm going to make mine and post it here for everyone to see, but mostly for me to see. Even if i don't complete it i want to see how much my ambitions change in a year or so. So here goes!

1. Win a beauty pageant.
2. Present a pageant.
3. Get published in a magazine.
4. Climb Ben Nevis.
5. Go to Download.
6. Meet a baby elephant.
7. Feed an elephant.
8. Go to the Harry Potter studios.
9. Go to Alnwick Castle 
10. Go to Japan.
11. See BabyMetal live.
12. Swim with sharks.
13. Do a naked photoshoot.
14. Go to pride in London.
15. Get a tattoo
16. Get my nipples pierced.
17. Learn to drive.
18. Own a volkswagen beetle.
19. Master every god in Smite.
20. Get a legendary god in Smite. 
21. Go to ComicCon.
22. Parasail.
23. Take a hot air balloon ride.
24. Go to a hot air balloon festival.
25. Learn to pole dance.
26. Learn to belly dance.
27. Get an intricate henna tattoo.
28. Get dreadlocks. 
29. Run 5k.
30. See an Aurora.
31. Inspire.


Right, that's all i can think of for now, the things in green are things I've already done but would be on my bucket list if i hadn't done them within the last year or so.
No doubt i will keep updating this as time goes on and i'll cross out the things I've done as time goes on, but this is it for now.

Why I've Not Been Blogging / Sadness

Hey guys, so this isn't a very exciting post however it is a personal one, and it's probably a one off, but we'll see.

I've had a few people asking me what happened to my blog, and why i stopped using it, so i thought i'd make this post (ironically on my blog) to explain why, and maybe to get back into it. There are a lot reasons why i stopped using it, i'm not going to share all of them because i don't want my whole life on the internet, but this is a few of them.

1.Energy. This seems like a stupid one, but i'm an extremely emotional person which means i'm tired all the time, so before i go to work the last thing i feel like doing is getting dressed up and taking photos.

2.Personality. This blog just doesn't fit with how i am at the moment, whether it's just my moods or whatever, when i made this it was just to be weekly outfit posts and i'm not interested in that. I still want to be a Visual Merchandiser and that is why i started this, but it's just not fitting with how i am just now. I have so many things i want to achieve and this just isn't one of them.


3.Modelling. Not something that seems relevant but it is, but it is relevant for both posts. I absolutely love "modelling" and it's amazing that the girl who barely made it through school is doing something that makes her so happy. However it does have a down side, i have all these people who now suddenly care about my life, and that's cool, be as nosy as you like. The thing is people now expect me to act a certain way, and i'm not okay with that. A lot of people seem to think that i now owe them something or i have to be an inspiration, and i'm not, i'm literally just an 18 year old kid trying to enjoy her life.

4. This is kind of all the stuff that didn't fit into the above categories. Basically this time last year i was in England getting drunk and playing a lot of video games, and while i missed home a lot, fuck i had a lot of fun. This year i'm working, and my spare time seems to be pageant orientated. As much as i love my life now, it's not being a drunk 18 year old, you know? And i kind of had a eureka moment the other day. All my spare time has been thrown into modelling and pageants. I love doing that, and i do love the thought of inspiring people, but i don't love these expectations of me. Basically it feels like I've lost my path a little, and that's okay, i just have to find it again. There's also a lot of other emotional things in my life that i am not writing on this blog, but they've been taking their toll on my happiness.


What does this mean? In truth not a lot.In fact to most people it doesn't mean anything at all. I'm still going to keep modelling because it is the most amazing experience of my life. As far as this blog goes, i don't want to get rid of it so i had a thought, what if i turned it into a diary? Not like a teenage diary, but i can show you an insight into my life as far as the pageants and the modelling goes, with maybe a little fashion thrown in. I have some stuff coming up that's going to be extremely fucking awesome (i don't know if i can tell you yet) but if you wanted i can take you behind the scenes with me.

Lastly i just wanted to thank everyone who's been supportive to me. My life is a bit of a rollercoaster and it's insane to me how many people care. Special thanks to everyone who's given me support as my new photos have gone up, that was extremely scary.
                   

                      Anyway, that's it for now! Bye xox

Miss Photogenic.

Whaddup nerds. So with Miss Inverness coming up i've had a few people asking me for advice as far as pageants go, because for my first time i did do incredibly well, and walked away with 2 big awards. I thought if i made a blog post instead of just messaging people it might help out a bit.

1. Be prepared. I left my outfits until the last minute, but they were ready, that's what mattered.But i can remember a couple of the girls stressing to get things ready in time. Don't do that, you WILL be nervous, the last thing you want is to be giving yourself extra stress.

2. Smile. This will sound like an obvious one, i mean you are there to show how good you can look, but with so many things going around in your head you wont be concentrating on your face.

3. Take your time. When you're on the stage take your time, and enjoy every second there. That is YOUR time, that is YOUR moment, don't zoom around the stage. Sashay around, stop, pose, look at the photographers, LOOK AT THE JUDGES.It is hard to know how long you're on the stage for, and if you're anything like me you just want to get off and make all the people stop looking at you. If you want to twirl, or kick your heels or anything that will only ever gain you points, but if you're too nervous or anything don't worry about it.

4. Relax. Props are good. I was terrified for 2 rounds, then i had a whip with my catsuit and because i had something to focus on it made me a lot more chilled. Make sure you feel comfortable in your outfits, especially your evening gown, or catsuit, depending on your pageant. You will be standing, your feet will be sore, and you will be tired by the end, but just keep smiling, be happy, and give it your best.

My last piece of advice is DO NOT go expecting to win. Give it your best, but don't go expecting to win, it's not a good attitude, and it'll make you sound like a bit of a bellend.

                         Thank you for reading, and good luck!

Pineapples.

Whaddup nerds. So i had a photoshoot this week, and because it was just in the studio i thought i'd take a couple of outfits. Unfortunately i got super ill half way through and had to stop, so i only got a few photos done in one outfit. But i will show you that outfit.

Prepare yourself.

Did someone say pineapples? 

Seriously, it might not be the most flattering thing, but i am going to wear this all summer. So excite.

I'd just like to add, this skirt was £4 in the sale. I couldn't not buy it. Stop judging me.

Anyway, not going to keep doing just outfit posts, so tell me what you guys would like to see, hair or tattoos or anything like? Let me know in the comments!

I'm only wearing pants because I have to.

Lets be serious here, we all have days when we're super busy, always working and on your day off you just have to go somewhere. Well this is what i wear on those days. I was actually so busy last week i couldn't even make a blog post, but this week i managed to squeeze the time in.

So this outfit is just super casual and comfortable, for those days when you need socially acceptable pajamas. 

                       
                         Top - H&M
                         Trousers - Primark
                         Shoes - Schuh. (They are the Marvel Vans)
                         Bag - Primark
                         Necklace - Ebay
                         Coat - Primark
                         Scarf - Cambodian Market

                       

This outfit just has so many layers, because comfort and warmth. 

This bag is great, it's big enough that i can fit everything in, but small enough i don't fill it with junk. 

Oh well, time to go run more errands!

Thank you for reading!

Pink to Make the Boys Wink

So the sun actually came out a few days ago, who knew that happened? But i thought while it was out i'd take a few outfit photo's - long story short they weren't usable, so i dived out before work and took these today.

So just imagine this outfit in the sun...

I'm wearing my cat face dress with just a simple denim jacket over the top and my Iron Man reactor necklace which i wear all the time. 

 

I added the sunglasses for a bit of a cutesy effect to the outfit, it's a very sweet summery outfit, just with tights because it's still freezing outside.

Dress - eBay
Jacket - Charity Shop
Tights - New Look
Sunglasses - eBay
Shoes - eBay
Necklace - Amehsauras Accessories

I use my platforms to add a bit of statement to a very simple outfit, like the one I'm wearing here.Sadly with Scottish terrain they're not the most practical shoes in the world. Oh well.

                           Thank you for reading!

Goth kid for a day.

Thought i'd start my blog with a gothic outfit, because sometimes i just like black. 

It's a pretty simple outfit with minimal accessories, just because the top i'm wearing is a statement in itself. 

The ribcage top really draws attention, so the rest of the outfit can be simple

Frilly socks are a personal favourite of mine, so i'm wearing a dark berry colour with black and gold frills to match my makeup, and double flatform black studded creepers just to finish it off. 

Dress - Unknown
Skirt - Primark
Tights - New Look
Socks - Primark
Shoes - Unknown 

Finished with messy waves and a vampy makeup look.
