Tattoos and a switchblade attitude....

So as the title may suggest, I'm in a bit of a "fuck you I won't do what you tell me" kind of mood today. I was gonna do a FOTD and an OOTD post but I kind of just want to punch a small child so I'll just show you my boots and if you wanna know anything about my makeup I promise not to snarl :P

Boots - New Look

Tights - Primark

Skirt - H&M

My face and hand look super fat here. I'm off to eat awesome foods with Dannelle.

Please excuse my geekiness. Normal service will return shortly.

Also please excuse the pictures being upside down. I'm too excited to care. So to break up the fact that Stephen and I are quite skint and have nothing to do, we decided to take a wander around the Barras. Now for those of you that don't know, the Barras used to be, pretty much a Glasgow institution. In the 90's it became THE place to purchase a good ol' pirate DVD or CD, but also a place to get a fantastic vintage bargain. Now, the pirates have been turfed out and it's sort of died a death. Which makes me kinda sad tbh.  Anyway, there's a fantastic second-hand jewellers there, where they have boxes of silver rings for £5, and oddly enough, every Beanie Baby ever made. Stephen and I stood and gabbed to the owners for about an hour and I felt bad for taking up all their time so I thought I'd buy a ring. And Stephen bought me a doggy Beanie Baby. It's currently sitting on top of my TV.

This ring is a good 4 sizes too small, but I kept looking at it, and eventually decided to just buy it and wear it as a half ring because even though the stone is obvs fake, it's beautiful. 

Then...I spotted this. Now I am no gemmology expert, but I got full marks and close to full marks in both my gemmology exams, so I'd say I'm pretty damn good. And these look like real opals to me. The thing that's throwing me off is they are set in silver. In my experience, opals are normally set in gold if they're bought second hand. I'm gonna take them in and let my tutor have a look at them but I have a feeling I just got £x amount of opals for £5. Winner.

Repping my favourite band in the world today

Hiding my face cause I hate it today. 

Stephen and I went to the cinema to see "In Time" yesterday and it was awesome :D Olivia Wilde is a babe <3 And all I want for Christmas now are Amanda Seyfried's legs. Went to Nandos after for the first time in about 4 months and then it was off to the fireworks! For those of you who don't come from my fair city, every

Bonfire Night, Glasgow City Council and Clyde 1 Radio hold this MASSIVE fireworks display with a theme and music and stuff on Glasgow Green and thousands of people come to see it. I go every year, and since Glasgow Green is now just around the corner from my flat then it was even better! We walked to the Green just in time for the fireworks to start and were home snuggled up in pyjamas with hot chocolate 10 minutes after they ended :D My only complaint this year was it was way shorter than what it usually was, it normally lasts about half an hour but this year it was about 15-20 mins. I took some pictures so I'll put them up later :) I'm off shopping with my mum!

Today has been mental. In college for 9am, working on a collaborative project till 4pm, work till 8pm then straight out to get a food shop for the month with Stephen. I'm willing to bet that I still won't get a decent sleep. Just demolished a kebab and some ice cream (healthy eating can blow me today.) Bedtime <3

Sleepy eyes!

I'm too sleepy to post right now, but I went shopping with my mum today and got a few bits, and also I'm raging at Barclaycard because they've reduced my credit limit which means I'm almost at my limit and I will need to put some stuff on eBay so I can help pay it back. Rage. I'll post more tomorrow. Nanight :)

Look what I got today!

My jump rings came in the mail and my friend Carol from my class gave me some silver plated wire so I can practice a wire-twisting technique that I wanted to try! Yaaay! 

Stephen and I went to see Contagion tonight, it was okay, kinda scary in the sense that it was so realistic but it was soooo slow! The most exciting part was probably when I coughed during the movie and you could see people actively moving away from me :D

Makeup post coming later. I didn't do an outfit post today cause I don't feel that great about my body today :( Gonna go watch Hocus Pocus while Stephen's making stirfry. OMNOM.

What my night has consisted of:

Making this, ordering rings so I can make a silver plated one (lazy. I'm supposed to cut them myself, which is what I did with this) watching Gossip Girl and deciding what I want to do with the stones I bought today. Also found an absolutely bitchin' Batman necklace that I am blatantly going to copy. No shame.

My outfit for today

Something else I would like to make a frequent thing - outfit/makeup posts! So with that - what I wore today, even though I was only in college for a few hours.

Cardigan & Vest - Primark
Scarf - Internacionale
Skirt - H&M
Boots (not seen) - New Rock

First Post!

Okay - so I love Tumblr, and it's so much easier to post there, but it's full of bitches. I want to talk about my boyfriend and post endless pictures of me, us, my puppy, my family and stuff I've made without having to deal with 14 year old keyboard gangsters.

I should probably introduce myself - I'm Nikki, I'm 24 years old and I live in Glasgow, Scotland with my boyfriend Stephen. I'm a professional photographer but right now I'm studying jewellery design because the photography industry makes me sick. I've kept a diary since I was 13 years old, I moved onto Livejournal at 17, Tumblr at 23 and hopefully this will be the next part of my blogging journey!

This is me!
