Haul!!

Hello everyone!

So as I mentioned before I have been shopping a lot! This is a kinda continuation from the last post except everything I have bought is from the UK so I guess it's a home haul lol! 

• I went to the River Island sale and bought this tee, jumper and jacket. The t-shirt was just too cool - one problem is the sizing as it said it was a size 8 but it so wasn't, unless it was supposed to be a dress as it was still baggy on me and I am not a size 8 at all! The jacket is fab! I just love it's quirkiness and the jumper, well my name is Amber so it seemed only right that I bought it, if not because it was cool but just for self promotion lol!

 

 

 

• I also went to Accessorize which is a place I just can't resist and bought this owl bag. I have no place to wear it yet but I don't care! I love it! 

• I have also been buying make up! I bought this MAC palette of eye shadow because it is all the colours I was looking for and because its MAC it will be good quality. (MAC palette in pastellux, £30) 

 

• I also discovered this shop that I had never been in before called "& other stories" on Regent Street in London. The shop is so cool, it had everything, from posh shampoo (£19 per bottle, ouch), to the cutest hair accessories that my mum bought and clothes, bags and make up! I bought this little eyelash brush for £2 because I find that even with the ultimate mascara (Diorshow waterproof 090 black, £28) sometimes my eyelashes clump too much and I will use it to fan them out. I tested it this morning and it works!

 

• I also bought a t-shirt from David & Goliath (£10) which is so cute, I am a bit of a nerd and I have a cat which makes this Mew-bacca tee all the more appropriate. 

• My local supermarket is an ASDA and whilst getting some food I picked up this cute jumper (£16) that is not only dark red which is the colour of the season but it's also so comfy!

So that is my recent haul, I need to stop now or I am going to run out of money and won't be able to go anywhere!!

Luv you all,

Being Nerdy

Hey guys,

So I promised you a post and therefore I will deliver. This time however the post is all about geekyness! (Which I think is quite fashionable but hey I am biased)

Basically in physics yesterday we were discussing this important equation in quantum theory that involved a guy called Max Planck and his constant for energy - called Planck's Constant lol! And as we were discussing the photoelectric effect which was Einstein's idea I was confused - I was thinking that maybe the credit should of been given to Einstein if it was a huge part of his theory.

And the reason that this is linked to fashion is because who gets credit for new trends. Is the person who walks the clothes down the run way responsible for the next seasons trend, or was it the unknown person who strolled past them sitting in a coffee shop and that had planned their outfit in order to express themselves, therefore in that single act inspired that designer to put pen to paper and stitch to garment. If it was therefore down to them, they were the catalyst that subsequently caused thousands of fashionistas to moon over their outfits and replicate it, without anyone knowing their names.

It's interesting that someone unknown can have the power to do that - at least Planck and Einstein were well rewarded for their science contribution with Nobel Prizes. It ended up that time was the true decider of the credit in the case of the constant, because Planck was first to think quantum he got the name of the father of quantum physics. In the same way Coco Chanel gets the credit for making the sun tan popular although I'm sure that getting a sun tan was not her invention.

Finally as you may of guessed I am quiet geeky so here are two pieces of my wardrobe that match this theme and also carry an image of one of my loves, Hello Kitty:

 

Jumper, Forever 21

Necklace, Hello Kitty at Claire's Accessories

Lots of luv,
