Valentines Gifts for a Gamer ~Part 2~

I wrote a post a few weeks ago about the gifts that i was planning on getting my partner for Valentines day. 
The other day the last bits had arrived so i thought I would show it to you guys. 

 Sorry the pictures aren't the greatest, it's currently hiding in a wardrobe! So there are three gift vouchers for Game, League of legends and steam and there is a xbox one dual controller charger. I bought them online at Game. The funny looking things in bubble wrap are soaps in the shape of controllers from NerdySoap on Etsy. Lastly there is a card with Toad on it from OwlandBrew on Etsy. The basket I got from Amazon, it is just a generic basket and was the perfect size! 

I think that it is really perfect for my partner! I thought it would be nice to get something that is personal to him rather than just a generic Valentines present.

Post exam night - outfit

On Friday i had my last exam of the semester of University so I went on a night out with some friends.

The dress that I wore is one that I bought a while ago, I just really love the gold and purple look. 

The only problem with this dress is it doesn't have any straps which can be quite awkward. 

I paired it with some cute little heels that I got from new look. I didn't want to wear too high shoes because I was planing on doing lots of dancing.

I clipped back my hair at the sides and put on a little bit of make up.

False Nails

I love having really nice long nails but unfortunately I just can't grow mine! No matter how much I try they always seem to break really easily. 

I can't afford to have my nails done professionally all the time so I like to buy glue on false nails. I have tried loads of different ones but I think my favourite have to be Primarks! They are only £1 and are so great and come with really lovely designs. 

 I think these kitty ones have to be my favourite! They're so kawaii, I like that the cat detail is only at the tip of the nail. 

This is how they look when they're on. I just love how they look I think I have a huge obsession with cats!

 These comic ones are so awesome. They have POW, BOOM, WHAM and BAM written on them. I would definitely recommend them if you are like me and love cute nails.

These last ones are actually from Claire's, I had them as a Christmas present one year. I love the cat eye detail. They are pre-glued stick on ones though. I can't wait to try them out.

Snow 2015

I haven't posted in a while because university has been pretty hectic with all my exams and coursework so not much has really been going on. 

It did snow for a little bit today and i got really excited! I just love the snow. I thought I would show you the pictures I took of it.

 Don't mind my messy windowsill, I didn't want to get out of bed to take the photos. 

 Look how lovely it is! I wish it had stuck around. It's so peaceful to look at.

Valentines Gift for a Gamer

It's coming up to Valentines day and i was really struggling for something to buy for my partner. He's really into games and always just asks me to just buy him a game. I'm not really much of a gamer myself so I wouldn't even know how to start. 

This year I came up with an idea to make a 'gamer hamper' which will include gamer related things rather than an actual game. 

I first found these really awesome Controller soaps from an Etsy shop called Nerdy Soap which i know he will love. 

I then bought a xbox one controller charger from Game as i know that he needs one of those for his two controllers. 

I picked up some gift vouchers for Steam, League of Legends and Game so that he can choose what games that he wanted himself. 

Lastly I'm thinking of picking up some energy drinks and some snacks/sweets for him to have when he's playing his games. 

I even bought a game themed card from Owl and Brew which has toad on it. 

I'm planning on putting it into a cute little basket for him.
It would be really great if you guys had any ideas of other things that could go in with it too, within the theme of gaming.

Granny Square Blanket

I haven't been crocheting too long but I really liked the idea of making a granny square blanket with solid colours and black edging. It will also help me to use up most of my yarn stash too!

 I am aiming to crochet at least one square a day so that it won't take me forever to finish, these are what i have so far. I've just been picking colours at random so that i'll have a nice selection of different colours rather than a specific colour chart.

The only problem with using yarn from my stash is they're all so different so some of the squares are different sizes to others, I thought this would be a problem but I thought that I could always try and block them once i'm all done. If that doesn't work then i guess the different sizes will add character. 

I'm really liking this project as they're small squares so I won't get bored and it will look really great once it's finished.

Lumpy Space Princess Skirt - Review

I found a really awesome site that sells Japanese clothes for less than £20! 
Here's the site cute japanese fashion! 

I ordered the Lumpy Space princess dress, on Wednesday, because I love everything Adventure Time related. It cost £11.99 which I thought was a very reasonable price. The sizing was quite strange at it was 6-8 or 8-12. I went with the 8-12, I thought that it might be a little too big, luckily it was a perfect fit. 
It was shipped yesterday morning and I received it today! 

 The skirt is good quality and very stretchy material. I was a little disappointed with the colour of the skirt as it is a lot more pink than the purple that LSP actually is, overall I love it though

  I found that the length of the skirt was perfect but is still quite short. I think it looks really nice with a plain black top so you just focus on the skirt.

I would definitely recommend this skirt for any Adventure Time fan. There are also some really amazing Kawaii clothes on their website too, there would be something for everyone!

 With my skirt I also received their cute business card that has a discount code on it! I also got two cute pieces of paper with cute little characters on them.
