fat ass.

I bought a packet of studs on ebay the other day for like £1.50, so when they arrived I did the most natural thing one should do with a packet of studs....put them on levi's.


Yes, this is my boooootay, and yes the studs are really randomly placed. I was gonna do a two line thingy at the top of the pocket but just carried on until i ran out. hmmm. i'm gonna take some off, and do something different but just wanted to show you asap. have you studded your levi's? XOXO AVS

hair-spiration

I'm currently in a hair-rut. It's ombre-ing itself (i.e. posh word for ROOTS-ew). I want to go lighter for the summer, gone is winter and with it the purple and deep red hair. I'm feeling the ginger vibe at the moment. But as I'm not quite brave enough to go a traffic light orange on my head just yet, I'm thinking a light brown, or how about this Rich Caramel colour........


Four of Hollywoods most gorgeous leading ladies are/have rocked the rich caramel colour, I'm seriously considering booking an appointment with my hairdresser right this second. 

Yay or nay? Answers on a postcard(commentbox) please ladies. XOXO AVS

atrocious quality photos, pretty jewels

One thing I went completely crazy for in America was F21, I literally loved everything about it, the way they merchandise, the layout of their stores, the variation of products between stores, but most of all how cheap it was! Not one of these necklaces below cost more than $7. How insane is that? One of them cost $4.80. I mean hellloooooooo how could you not spend $100s?? 


My favourite by far has to be the blue cross, followed by the purple stone (it is all glittery and sparkly- which the crapola photo obviously doesn't show!)

What are you upto this weekend? I'm off to southampton tonight to see my girlies for a good night out (long overdue!) then on saturday off to London's O2 arena to see Glee! (Again!) I bought my little sister tickets for her birthday (not until next month but hey!) I loved the show so much in LA and my little sister is such a huge fan I needed to get them for her!

Apologies again for the awfulness of the photos, they were taken by photobooth (not the highest quality camera out there!) If any one can recommend me a good, sturdy camera that can tolerate being used regularly by a constantly drunk 20-year old, then please let me know the make and model, i'm willing to pay anything, I'm sure it will save me (and my long suffering parents [camera's are a xmas pressie regular]) a lot in the long run!

Muchos gracias for reading, I hope you all have a great weekend, XOXO AVS

growing up & out

This is my annoying fringe-growing-out stage.... I wasn't feeling the blunt fringe anymore, but the growing them out is such a bitch! I've been plaiting them quite a bit, but I think I can cope with this for now!


*This is just a quick one, so apologies for the hickle-de-pickle-de-ness of it!*

...So what's happened in the past week since I last blogged? Well, I found out I had a viral ear infection, the reason why I was constantly nauseous and dizzy and had the balance of a drunk 90 year old. Therefore the exercise regime took a big hit, any vigorous exercise was highly unrecommended unless I wanted to faint. 

OH funny story- I fell over on one of those moving travelators in London. HA. woman asked me if i was drunk... "errr lady, it's 10am in the morning! I am  not drunk!" 

Anywho, I'm working in London a few days a week (then the rest at home) at the PR company I interned for in LA, it's going great, I love getting all dressed up for work in the big city! It makes me feel very old! haha. 

I tried to take some pictures the other day of outfits and new jewels but my camera refuses to focus, I have the worst luck with cameras EVER. eurgh.

In the meantime I advise you to watch the trailer for the new film 'Bridesmaids'! I saw it last month in LA and let me tell you, IT'S HILARIOUS. I can't wait to go see it again with my mum, and then my best friends, and then random strangers and their neighbours. It was honestly one of the funniest films I've seen since the Hangover.  Enjoy ladies! XOXO AVS

HELP!

SOMEONE please tell me why blogger is being such a bitch today and not uploading videos or images?

THE dilemma.

When I was younger I read somewhere that Gymnast's retired at the age of 19 or somewhere very near because their bodies would never be in such good shape again. Apparently age 19 is your prime. So I always though that at 19 I would be my ideal weight, shape, size etc... 
Well I got to 18 and I still had some minor issues, "I've got another year 'til I'm 19 no biggy". 
Then I got to 19 and thought "I've got a year to sort it before I'm 20". 
Now I'm 20 and I'm like "what was I playing at putting it off?"... 

Getting fit and healthy and being body confident isn't that far away if I really want it badly enough. I don't have that much weight that I want to shift, it's more toning up that I'm after. So after seeing Glee!  Live in Concert @ The Staples centre in LA (which was uh-maziiiing by the way!), and seeing in the flesh Heather Morris's amazing body, when I saw her on the cover of Women's Health  I didn't hesitate to pick up the issue to see how I could achieve a body like hers... 


When I looked down at the checkout however I noticed a huge contradiction in my purchases- back went the M&M's and Peach Jelly's. When we got to my cousin's house I went straight to my laptop and clicked onto Amazon.co.uk. Within 5 minutes I'd ordered Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. The DVD was only £5.93, a total bargain if you ask me. 
I did Day One of the shred yesterday, (as well as the start of my healthy eating) and it was incredible. Don't get me wrong it was challenging and sweat inducing but I wanted to carry on exercising after it was over! 

I'm basically writing this post so that I can't back out of this 30 day challenge now. Corrie & Michelle are both doing it and they're already seeing results! (If you have any questions, I'm sure they'd be happy to answer them, they're further along than me!) 
I'm also keeping a food diary, which is including my water intake. I've realised I don't drink half as much as I should a day so I've bought two 1litre bottles of Buxton water, and fill them each night and put them in the fridge. 

This post is really random and I apologise! If you're doing or have done the 30 day shred, let me know what you think of it and if you've seen any results so far! XOXO AVS
