Logging into my blogger account to write up this post was really surreal - most likely because I haven't even so much as looked at this space of mine in months...and for that I sincerely apologise. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

Amidst my voluntary teaching English at a summer camp in Italy (<i>which you would probably know if you've been following my Instagram - @infamoushearts</i>), traveling and internships...time slipped away. As a result, this post is horrendously wayyyy overdue...considering I took these pictures way before the summer holidays! But since I was gifted a gorgeous watch to showcase and because the lovely boyfriend of mine took these pictures, I couldn't let it sit there in my archives of forgotten pictures.</center>

As you all know, accessories can elevate one's style and bring a whole new twist to an outfit. So when <i><a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/shop">JORD Watches</a></i> reached out and offered me one of the watches in their collection, I was intrigued. Why? Because each and every one of their watches are beautifully handcrafted by <i>wood</i>. As a result, no two watch is the same; and that's the beauty of it. After looking through their vast collection, I finally decided upon the <i><a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/series/ely/green-sandalwood-and-maple">Ely design</a></i> in Natural Green and Maple as the face meant that it was perfect for my smaller than average wrist. No one likes to look like they're wearing some kind of spy device, do they.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I will admit that when I first received the watch, I wasn't sure how to style it. I mean, it is a <i>wooden</i> watch. But I didn't have to worry because my foolproof stripes and denim combination has never failed me yet. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Understandably, the prices of these watches are a tad steep, with mine coming in at US$129. But I can ensure you that you do get what you pay for! Packaged in a luxurious box, the watch is shock resistant and highly durable. My watch came delivered wrapped in bubble wrap and packaged in a luxurious box. What's more, you don't have to worry about the watch strap not fitting properly because even after writing down your wrist measurements, a couple of extra links are also included so you can extend or shorten the strap as you please. </center>

So if you want a bit of nature on your wrist or if you're out of those that likes to embrace the outdoors, <i><a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/shop">JORD Watches</a></i> should be on the top of your list. I have my eye on their <i><a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/series/cora/maple-and-silver">Cora range</a></i> next - especially the one in Maple and Silver! Bonus: They offer free shipping worldwide!</center>

This is my first and <i>only </i>brow product that I've ever own - would you believe that? So when I say that I strongly recommend this for those that are new to the 'eyebrows game' or just want something easy and fuss-free...I really mean it!</div>

Previously, I never really paid attention to my brows. Mainly because I've never learnt how to and every time I've tried (albeit once with a brown eyeliner because I believed them to have dual functions) I look absolutely ridiculous. Also, partly because I don't have that gorgeous natural arch that everyone seems to have and I've always deemed the brows to be an unnecessary step that just wastes more time - I mean, who even looks at your brows?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But ever since Makeup Revolution came out with their <i><a href="http://fave.co/1CKbQ1g">Focus and Fix Brow Kit</a></i> that only costs <span style="color: #222222; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>£2.50</i></span></span>, I thought I would give it a go. Needless to say, I absolutely love it. Whilst I am no eyebrow expert and really only use it to fill in my brows (i.e the sparse areas) to make it more defined, it's a great simple starter kit. </div>

The packaging of this eyebrow kit is really standard, yet quite compact so it's great for traveling! It's a sturdy black square palette with a big mirror inside. As it is marketed as a 'kit', it also includes a pair of tweezers and an eyebrow brush. I haven't really been using the tweezers much because well, I know next to nothing about them brows and will probably cause my damage. However, I have been using the brush daily. Although the handle is a tad short, that and the angled bristles helps with precision and fits inside the kit perfectly. </div>

<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Formula</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I chose the kit in the shade 'Medium-Dark' for obvious reasons (I've got dark hair) but the kit also comes in the shade 'Light-Mid'. Inside, you get 3 eyebrow powders and 1 eyebrow wax. I guess the idea is that you can mix and match the different shades or use them alone to get your desired colour. All 3 eyebrow powder shades lean very brown but to be very honest, the only shade I use is the one at the top right because it lets me achieve the most natural look - the bottom left shade had too much red tones in it and the top left was a bit too light. The powders are all great quality and with no fall-out whatsoever.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One thing I do like about this palette is the wax. At the time of writing this blog post up, I have already hit pan on the wax alone. I find that with the wax, it gives a more tidier application with a more natural look and helps the powder stay on longer too. If I could purchase the wax on its own, I would.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also, you will get your money's worth with this because a little goes a long way. After using this daily for 4 months, I barely made a dent in the one and only shade I use.</div>

Overall, I would recommend this eyebrow kit. Especially if you're like me and am absolutely clueless or am just starting out as you can go lightly first, and then gradually build up the intensity to make sure you won't mess up. The choice of 3 eyebrow shades are probably good enough for you to mix around and get your desired colour. And for the price tag of <span style="color: #222222; line-height: 19px;">£2.50</span>, you can't really beat it and will really get your money's worth. Now, I've incorporated this little thing in my daily makeup routine as I find that well shaped/groomed brows really does define your face and makes you look more put together. So even if you're in a rush, do shape your brows. And with this Makeup Revolution brow kit, it really couldn't be easier.</div>

This was taken quite a while ago, but I've only just got round to posting them...it's been quite a while since I've got an outfit post up here. This could be a good spring/summer outfit or one for warmer weathers as the sleeveless crop top bares a bit of skin, but the woven trousers makes sure it's not too warm or cool. Also, with this slight midriff-baring affair, I can't help but think that a <i><a href="http://www.freshtrends.com/item/br-2180-2181/freshtrends-cz-snowflake-dangle-belly-button-ring-14g-7/16/1.html">bedazzled belly button ring</a></i> would look absolutely wicked - especially after I hit the gym for a while of course... Anyway, what I like about this look is that you can dress it down with some casual sandals, or change into a pair of heels and add a blazer for a night out! </div>

Apologies for not
updating this little space of mine for a long while…Revising for end of year
exams and spending time with the family (after 6 months away!) has just been
eating up my time. Anyway, this post today is going to be slightly unique as it
is quite personal and I’ve never written anything of this sort on here before.
Ever since I attended a TEDxWarwick talk on ‘<i>Identity’</i> a few months back, I’ve wanted to share this – my own
interpretation of ‘identity’ - but have never quite known how...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
I am what some
people will call a <i>Third Culture Kid</i>.
What this means is that I was raised in a country that isn’t my nationality.
Sounds confusing? Don’t worry, I can assure you that you’re not the only one.
*cue Sam Smith* As I have mentioned it a couple of times on my blog already,
some of you may know that I am Malaysian but have lived in Vietnam for 16 years
of my life; and like most Third Culture Kids, I went to an international
school. Whilst I completely acknowledge that I am incredibly privileged to have
lived that sort of lifestyle and was given this experience/opportunity, I will
admit that one of the biggest problem is the trouble with identity.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Being a citizen of
one country but living in another is like having one foot out of the door and the
other one in. In other words, it’s as if I am ‘sandwiched’ between 2 cultures.
The seemingly simple question, ‘Where is home?’ is actually quite tough to
figure out. Whilst Malaysia is my home country, being away from it for more
than 75% of my life, only visiting twice a year and not properly immersed in its
culture, can I really consider myself a Malaysian? To me, Malaysia is
associated with holidays – a place that I go to visit my relatives, indulge in
its cuisine and occasionally do some retail therapy. Although I travel with a
Malaysian passport, I don’t possess the well known ‘Malaysian accent’ and am
unfamiliar with the various slang phrases that others can so confidently slip
into conversations. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
But it’s not to say
that I am completely comfortable in the country that I reside in (Vietnam)
either. Although I was practically raised there, schooled there, all my friends
are there, and I can get around independently, it doesn’t exclude the fact that
I’m not from there. Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, I don’t speak the
language. Yes, I do know enough to get around - ordering food, bargaining and
asking for directions…all the basics you need to survive. But being able to hold
a steady conversation? Not going to happen. Even though I am more able to
recommend to others which places to visit and which foods to try in Vietnam
than Malaysia, I will always be considered an expatriate.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
As I attended an
international school, the whole ‘coming from one country but living in another’
was the norm. Being in the same situation as I was, they understood. But when I
started university in the UK last fall and had to step out of my little bubble,
I realize that maybe my scenario was not that simple. Which society do I join?
Vietnamese or Malaysian? Either way, I will never be able to fully relate to
either. In the end, I did make a decision to become a member of the Malaysian
Student Association and I will admit that I am still testing the waters. A
typical conversation that I have encountered goes something like this,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
“Where are you from?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
“Malaysia.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
“Which college did you go to?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
“Umm…I actually studied in Vietnam…for the past 16 years.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
And after that, the conversation usually dies down. Maybe it’s
because they think I won’t be able to keep up with their Malaysian culture
references and slang. Even though I’m pretty sure they meant well, I even had
someone said to me, “But you’re not a real Malaysian though” Even those that
aren’t Malaysian get confused as to what nationality I really am, what passport
I hold and if I am definitely not a ‘halfie’ (a person that has 2 different
racial backgrounds).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
So why am I writing
this? This ‘unique’ situation of mine has made me more open-minded and given me
unlimited opportunities so I would not change a thing. But despite all that, I am still
struggling to decide which ‘identity’ I identify with more. Where is home? I will have to say, both Malaysia and Vietnam - but for different reasons. Culture is a tool that enables people to separate one country from another. Yet I think it's more than that. Identity is a fickle thing
and holding the passport of a country doesn’t make it any easier. <br />

Considering you spend most of your time in your bedroom, there's no doubt that it should be <i>your </i>space and reflect <i>your </i>personality! Being an university student living in university accommodation, you definitely do not want to go back to a bog standard plain uni room at the end of a long day! Somehow, with a bit of personalization and bits and pieces here and there, you can really make your small (well, my uni room is anyway) space really cosy and homely...</div>

Although I didn't really decorate my room <i>that </i>much this year as I am in university accommodation and can't really do much, when I get a house next year, I plan to go crazy. So after scouring the Internet for some 'bedroom re-vampin' inspiration', I found some awesome bits that I thought I'd share!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>1. <i><a href="http://fave.co/1Mg1jC4">Chalkboard Decor</a></i> - Macy's </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In my uni room now, there is a plain grey cork board provided but that can get a little bit boring. I absolutely love the classy black design of this one and the fact that it's a chalkboard makes it stand out from your regular cork or whiteboard and gives it a cute old school vibe. You can scribble on reminders, to do lists or any notes and then rub it off whenever!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>2. <i><a href="http://fave.co/1CJ6ybM">Paper Orb String Lights</a></i> - Target</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I find that paper/fairy lights instantly makes a room feel more cosy when they're strung either along the walls or around the bed frame. These bright blue ones will definitely add colour and brighten up the room - especially if you have a minimalist scheme going on - and during the night, it would be good to turn them on and unwind. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<b>3. <i><a href="http://fave.co/1Mg6Rg1">Glass Vanity Box</a></i> - Urban Outfitters</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I absolutely absolutely love this. How cool does it look?! I've always been a fan of geometric shapes and I love the rustic bronze rim and the fact that it is transparent so you can see all the pretty jewellery/make up that you keep inside. This will add an amazing touch sitting either on the desk or on the shelf.</div>

<b>4. <i><a href="http://www.simons.ca/simons/product/8176-2142500/Printed/White+wolf+photo+print+cushion++45+x+45%C2%A0cm?/en/&catId=c1046&colourId=99">Wolf Cushion</a></i> - Simons </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
How awesome does this cushion look? Although the real wolf picture might look rather intimidating, I love how the wolves sort of blends in with the background and the white, blue, greyish colour scheme is just stunning. I also highly recommend you guys checking out the rest of Simons' home range (<i><a href="http://www.simons.ca/simons/category/6770/Home?/en/">Simons Maison</a></i>) because there's a few great items and more pillow prints!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Book ends are not only good for keeping your text books and notebooks upright and organised, but they can also be a decorative item! I love the rustic, vintage look of this and just how cool it would look on the shelf.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These would be great decorative items on the desk and you can put loads of trinkets in these! Be it dainty pieces of jewellery or even as a key holder because I know I always throw them around and misplace mine.</div>

Another style inspiration featuring some of the best people in the blogosphere! I didn't really have a particular 'season' in mind, despite it being the transition from winter to spring here in the UK. Really, it's whatever caught my mind. Although, there are a few layering styles in there!</div>

I've been reading Jen's blog for a while now and I love her style! Especially like this look because of its monochrome and neutral palette and the fact that it's a rather versatile look! Also, not to mention that Jen always look so bubbly and happy in every one of her photos :')</div>

Seriously though, I think that Hannah always layers like a boss and I'm in awe for that talent. Whenever I try to layer, I end up looking like either a marshmallow or the abdominal snowman i.e not very flattering... But on her, she just looks so stylish. Also, I wish I can pull off knee high boots!</div>

I've always been a huge fan of Seryna's style simply because they're perfect for everyday casual wear - the kind where you want to look effortless. Her outfits are actually ones that I would wear myself! When I saw this look, I immediately knew that I had to include it because it had my most favourite print in the world - stripes. This look is so simple but that's why I like it...not to mention I've been trying to find the perfect stripe shift dress that will fit my petite frame since forever. Also, although she's from New Zealand, I actually briefly met Seryna (and her friend Daisy) in London when they did a Europe tour and they were so lovely :')</div>

This look brings a whole new meaning to <i>Shades of Grey. </i>I think what stood out to me the most was definitely that pop of colour that the printed skirt brought which kept the ensemble from looking too dull and gloomy. </div>

I'm absolutely loving the modern twist on Snow White's outfit. What I find so fascinating about this is that, even though it doesn't look anything like what Snow White actually wore, you can still kind of tell that it's inspired by her, and that's why I love it. Also, look how gorgeous that 2 piece is! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When MUA released their Spring 2015 collection, I was kind of excited because they haven't released anything in a while. Looking through the collection, to be brutally honest, I wasn't really interested in any of the other items - I rarely wear pastel eyeshadow shades and I haven't mastered the art of wearing blush... all apart from these. The <i><a href="http://fave.co/1DIdtSS">MUA Sweet Sheen Lip Balm</a></i>. I like a good quick, no-fuss tinted lip product that I can use for everyday wear and which can provide me a wash of colour to look more alive. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are 6 shades in total, but I just picked up <i><a href="http://fave.co/1DIdztK">Rouge Rumba</a> </i>and <i><a href="http://fave.co/1EGm5X8">Cherry Bomb</a> </i>- the more darker shades, as with my fairly pigmented lips, the lighter ones probably won't show up that well. <i>(The other shades are; <a href="http://fave.co/1DIdHcz">Pink Lilly</a>, <a href="http://fave.co/1EGmbhv">French Violet</a>, <a href="http://fave.co/1EGmbhx">Coral Reef</a> & <a href="http://fave.co/1EGmbxY">Peach Dream</a>)</i></div>

Your standard lip stick/lip balm packaging, but I really like the long sleek tubes which makes it easy to fit in your bag, as well as how the tubes co-ordinate with the shades. Makes finding the right shade easier!<br />

MUA calls these a lip balm, but I'm slightly on the fence about that. Whilst they aren't drying at all, they aren't that moisturizing either - although more 'moisturing' than the Maybelline Baby Lips Colour range in my opinion. I'll definitely still be putting on my trusty Vaseline Lip Therapy in Cocoa Butter before applying this! That being said, it does apply evenly and I love the slight wash of colour. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They also have a lovely slight vanilla scent - almost similar to that of their lipsticks! Pigmentation wise, it's quite good seeing as they're marketed as a tinted lip balm. Although definitely not opaque like a lipstick would be, one swipe with the darker shades (<i>above)</i> gives you a gorgeous tint! Of course, you can build it up as well. On the lips, it has a nice, natural glossy finish which I'm really liking and they're really smooth and comfortable as well. Lasting power is average - about 1 to 2 hours before reapplication would be needed.</div>

Although I couldn't quite capture the difference in colours between Cherry Bomb and Rouge Rumba on my face on camera, you can see the difference quite clearly on my hand swatches!</div>

<b>Cherry Bomb</b></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A dark berry pink shade. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Out of the two, I reach for this one more often because it gives me the slight berry shade that I like. Here, I've swatched it between 2 other lip products that I own that I thought could be contenders. Judging from the swatches, the MUA Sweet Sheen Lip balm is more fuchsia and purple-toned than the other two, more pigmented that the Maybelline Baby Lips Color in Cherry Crush, but less pigmented than the Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie. </div>

Another month, another 5 things that have tickled my senses this February and which I am super excited to be sharing! February has definitely been an eventful month and without further ado, here's what I've been loving lately...<br />
<br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Hear</b>: <i>Give Me Love </i>by Ed Sheeran</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In general, I'm a huge fan of Ed Sheeran because although I am quite open to music genres, his 'type' of music is just what I like. Ballads that are soothing and catchy. A song that I've been replaying is '<i>Give Me Love</i>' which was on his album <i>+</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Smell: </b>H&M's Body Splash in <i>Vanilla Frost</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you've read my <i><a href="http://thecraziestparadigm.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/12-lists-number-1-january.html">January list </a></i>of the 2015 List Project which was on favourite smells, you woud know that I absolutely adore the smell of vanilla. If I could capture all vanilla essence in the world and keep it in a jar in my room...I would. To me, the smell of vanilla is just so yummy and deliciously sweet. Anyway, I digress. You can imagine my excitement when I saw this at H&M for only <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">£</span>2</span>.99...and it comes in a gorgeous bottle too! Although the scent doesn't last as long as I would like, it is definitely there and smells just like vanilla would. Love it, love it, love it.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>See: </b>Gorgeous rose gold frame and blue & red strap of my <i><a href="http://fave.co/1Dx25nG">Daniel Wellington watch</a></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I got this from the boyfriend as a gift for our 4th anniversary as he was probably a) tired of me looking at watches and talking about how I wished I had one b) he's a watch fanatic himself and probably was appalled when I said I would get a cheap one from New Look/eBay and :P How gorgeous is it though?! So classy. I'm kinda scared to wear it because I'm afraid of scratching the watch face!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="color: #a64d79;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Touch: </b>Softness and warmth of the <i><a href="http://fave.co/QxU5lp">Forever 21</a> </i>teal jumper</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not only do I love this teal shade, but I also love the softness and fluffiness of this jumper. Not to mention that it goes with everything and anything and that it keeps me super warm!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Taste: </b>Banh Dau Xanh - the taste of home</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I absolutely love this stuff back in Vietnam and I've been craving it for a long time now! Basically, it's a kind of sweet treat/dessert and it's green bean in cube form and crumbles quite easily...trust me, it tastes better than how I'm describing it and it reminds me of home.</div>

It's been a while since I've posted an InstaSnaps round-up...but that's because I've been relatively quiet on the Instagram front. Whilst being at Uni, I really have no idea what 'interesting' things to post about since I basically do the same things every single day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, life lately has been awesome. I'm gradually curbing my relentlessly spending habits, watched 50 Shades of Grey with the boyfriend for Valentine's Day (<i>we both thought the movie was crap by the way...incredibly awkward and cringey</i>), celebrated 4 years with him and right now, I'm just waiting for the last 2 weeks of Term 2 to be over so I can go back to Vietnam to visit the family for Easter break!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope everything is well with you guys!</div>

</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
As this is the last day of February (oh how time flies), it's time for another list! Last month's was based on <i><a href="http://thecraziestparadigm.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/12-lists-number-1-january.html">favourite smells</a> </i>but this month it is: A list of things that makes you feel confident. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<a name='more'></a></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
1. <b>Academic accomplishments</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Putting it bluntly, I have a fear of failing and it can drive me nuts. And it's also partly why I dislike participating in elections because if there's a chance of failing...I'm less inclined to take the risk - which is something I know I need to work on. So yea, academic accomplishments and knowing that I did well is something that makes me confident.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
2. <b>Perfect skin</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Alas, this is something that I am working on - although my skin is recently a lot better than it was back in my high school days! </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
3. <b>A nice dark lip</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
There is just something about a classic red lip or a vampy berry one that oozes confidence. That being said, I only really wear a dark lip on special occasions or on nights out because I have the confidence to pull it off during the daytime!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
4.<b>Helping others</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
There is nothing better than being able to help out someone - whether it being doing them a favour or just coaching/teaching them so they understand something better. It feels good knowing that you contributed and have an impact on their lives.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
5. <b>A great workout</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Although I may not think that <i>during </i>the workout, I like the 'feel good' feeling I get after a good workout - like I can conquer the world.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
6. <b>Eyeliner</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I don't know where I would be without my black eyeliner. If I could have 1 makeup item, it would be eyeliner (<i>okay, well lip balm is first...I can't stand chapped lips)</i> because it just makes me look more awake and well, confident.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
7. <b>Heeled boots/shoes</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Being a petite girl, this needs no explanation - I need all the height I can get! Whilst I don't possess the skills to be able to walk around in heels all day, I do love the confidence I get when wearing them in special occasions or nights out! Although I do hate it when my tall friends wear heels </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
This idea was started via <i><a href="http://cleartheway.net/12-lists-number-2/">Clear the Way</a></i> and <i><a href="http://chezgillian.com/2-of-12-lists/">Chez Gillian</a></i> so do check out what makes them confident too and feel free to join in!</center>

The Oscars 2015 took place this weekend and although amidst the London Fashion Week frenzy, I will admit that I keep up with the Oscars more. While I'm not the most up to date with movie watching, I do love some red carpet fashion action. Although I will say that I'm really glad Eddie Redmayne definitely deserved Best Actor because he was incredible in The Theory of Everything. That being said, I also thought that that movie would've won more awards!</center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
With luxurious pearly white gowns, neutral tones, statement necklaces and thigh high slits making a frequent occurrence this time round, I thought I would include my Top 8 Best Dressed - which were incredibly hard to narrow down to by the way...</center>

How gorgeous is the Victoria's Secret model?! Not only do I love the strapless silhouette of this dress, but I find that the black and red colour scheme and the simple accessories compliments the red carpet incredibly well. Eye-catching, but not over the top. Of course, also decked out in Armani was her husband and insanely good-looking Maroon 5 member, Adam Levine. Power couple anyone?</div>

Not only do I have a major crush on Emma Stone, but I love her red carpet choices as well - always so sophisticated and classy. This one is no exception. I don't think just anyone can pull off that chartreuse shade a mixure of yellow and gold with slight olive green hues...it's stunning. I also love how she kept everything else so minimal.</div>

This could either be a hit or miss, but for me, I love it. The structure of this dress is incredibly unique, and whilst it's fairly simple - being entirely navy with a few gold accents - the long fishtail makes it more dramatic. I also think that this style compliments Rita Ora's figure very well!</div>

<center style="text-align: left;">
I'm a <i>massive </i>fan of buying things on <i><a href="http://fave.co/QxyLwv">eBay</a></i> and have built up quite a collection of my 'eBay bargains'. The two smock dresses from <i><a href="http://fave.co/1k05O3a">ASOS</a></i> abov<span style="font-family: inherit;">e were <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">£</span>7 each...that Motel skirt was a mere <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">£</span>2.50! Of course that's just a fraction of what I've bought from eBay!</span> If you look hard enough, you can really find some amazing bargains that can give sales a run for their money - even for brands like <a href="http://fave.co/1tKjVnp">Motel Rocks</a>, <i><a href="http://fave.co/1rdlipr">Topshop</a></i>, <i><a href="http://fave.co/1iauLYG">Missguided</a></i> or <i><a href="http://www.zara.com/uk/">Zara</a></i>. Many assume that eBay equates to second-hand pre-worn items but that is definitely not the case! Some items listed are either brand new, or brand new without tags. Of course, with buying things online, it comes with a few risks. Since I've been buying things on eBay for quite a few years now, I thought I would share my top tips to make your eBay shopping an amazing experience...</center>

</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Finding the item you want</span></b><br />
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<i>
1. Tailor your search to you</i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
If you've got something specific in mind, don't make your search vague. I always narrow down my search by using the sidebar on the left and only selecting my desired size and sometimes even brand. Of course, you can go crazy and specify the length, colour and even sleeve type! If you're a size 8, you're wasting your time going through pages and pages of items that are a size 12. But when I am browsing eBay just for the sake of it (<i>very bad habit by the way</i>), I tend to keep my search quite broad and maybe only typing in 'asos petite' or 'motel rocks dress' in case I want to explore my options. But, I ALWAYS specify my size.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<i>
2. Specify your budget</i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I always go for the cheaper alternative and eBay caters to that. You can enter in your minimum and maximum budget to see items in that price range, but what I always do is, on the top bar, instead of Sort: Best Match, I opt for Price + P&P: Lowest First. That way, I know when my limit is reached.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<i>3. Feedback. Feedback. Feedback.</i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I can't stress this enough. Always check the seller's feedback - it's there for a reason! If a seller's positive feedback is less than 95%, I often read through the reviews. If it's the odd one negative or neutral review, depending on what it is, I usually dismiss it and bid anyway. But if there's 3 or more negative feedback...steer clear - how good the item is, or how low the price. You might end up regretting it. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Even greater deals?</span></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<i>
4. Check the seller's other items</i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Usually, when a seller lists one item, it's because they're having a huge clear out so chances are, they will have listed other items too! Some sellers will be very happy to combine postage costs if you win the bid so if the postage is reasonable, I always check out the seller's other items to see if anything else catches my eye</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<i>5. Buy out of season</i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
This one is a no brainer and I think this applies to both eBay and other brands as well. Chances are, people usually clear out their closet after each season. So if you want a winter coat, wait till spring or summer. More people will be listing and less people will be searching for that item, leading to lower prices - it's a win-win situation!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">It's Auction Time</span></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<i>
6. You snooze, you lose</i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Yes, even for good ol' eBay. Add the item to your 'watch list' and set a reminder for a few minutes before the auction ends. That way, you're sure not to miss it!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<i>7. Be a ninja</i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I would recommend bidding within the last few minutes because bidding wayyy earlier on just increases the price unnecessarily. When bidding at the last minute, enter in the absolute maximum price that you are willing to pay and cross your fingers. That way, not only will you not get carried away and bid higher than you original wanted (yes, I've been in that position before...the time pressure gets to you...) but even if you don't win the auction, you know you're within budget.</center>

I'm thinking about starting this new feature on my blog that will occur every 2 weeks because sometimes, I come across an outfit on my blogroll that I just <i>have </i>to share. I get my 'style inspiration' from various places, <i><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/infamoushearts">Pinterest</a></i>, magazines, Instagram...but most of all, from the lovely #fbloggers I follow!

I absolutely love Jules' casual, laid back style! And this is no exception. I adore that tribal bohemian-esque dress and so wish that I can rock knee high boots and oversized cardigans like she does!</div>

What stood out to me most is the pairing of the burgundy and navy blue - they compliment each other so well! I love the tailored, clean cut fit of the coat and the layering of the white blouse under the navy dress. Kinda reminds me of something Spencer Hastings from Pretty Little Liars would wear! Absolutely gorgeous :') </div>

<span style="text-align: left;"> Who says celebrities can't have a fashion blog? I've loved Jamie Chung's style in the magazines and on the red carpet, and I love her style on her blog even more. Denim shirt, embellished skirt, chunky boots and a tailored black coat is the perfect combination for when you want to look casual yet put together. Love thissss!</span></div>

To be honest, I could probably dedicate a whole post for Luanna's outfits because I <i>love </i>her style. So far, this one stood out because of the exquisite layering that's going on. I've always wanted to incorporate a bit of mustard in my wardrobe and she paired it perfectly with the polka dotted print, white blouse and black accents.</div>

So sorry for the not so great pictures...I finally understand what British bloggers mean when they say they struggle for daylight...Anyway, whilst the <i><a href="http://thecraziestparadigm.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/outfit-valentines-day-1-up-on-heavens.html">latest outfit</a></i> was geared towards a dinner date and perhaps a more formal event, I feel this one is more 'fun' and would be great for those ladies that will be partying or celebrating with friends this year! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The <i><a href="http://fave.co/1DYGmXJ">bralet</a></i>, paired with a <i><a href="http://fave.co/1AUTmzM">high waist skirt</a></i> exposes just the right about of skin - subtly sexy, as I like to call it. Simply strap on them <i><a href="http://fave.co/1krKkfN">classic black heeled sandals</a></i> and as the weather is cooler at night, you can't forget your <i><a href="http://fave.co/1DYHTwQ">coat</a></i>! I finished the look with Makeup Revolution's Amazing Lipstick in the shade <i><a href="http://fave.co/1DYE1fi">'Reckless'</a></i> - which is currently my favourite shade of red - to keep with the sultry vibe.</div>

I know, I know, it's been an <i>extremely </i>long while since I got an outfit post up. The main reason was due to me not having a place to take them...well, a place that is secluded from all eyes at Uni cause none of my flatmates know about this little space and thus, I would like to avoid awkward questions. Since my university room is <i>tiny</i> and I'm a hoarder, I have struggled to be able to clear enough space...but I've found a solution. Sure it involves moving my bed to the other side with things all over the place...but I kinda miss doing outfit/personal style posts and I will put in the extra effort!</div>

Anyway, after my <i><a href="http://thecraziestparadigm.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/valentines-gift-guide-for-himher.html">unique Valentine's Day gift guide</a></i> , I thought it'd be appropriate to put together some V-Day style inspiration. I featured <i><a href="http://thecraziestparadigm.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/etsy-lingerie-accessorizing-under.html">Esty Lingerie's Choker Bra Strap</a>*</i> a few weeks ago and promised to incorporate them in an outfit to show that it is not hard to wear sneak this daring piece into your everyday wear. When I received it, I knew I wanted to do a Valentine's Day feature. I decided to keep it simple by pairing the choker bra strap with a textured<i> <a href="http://fave.co/1AS6hlO">figure hugging LBD</a></i> with a bardot necklace to expose just the right amount of skin. I find that the choker takes a normal LBD up to a new (sexier) level. Because of this, I decided on no statement necklace of fancy jewellery and just wore this with <i><a href="http://fave.co/1krKkfN">nude heels from New Look,</a></i> a nude lip - <i><a href="http://fave.co/1DWqd4V">MUA lipstick in shade 11</a></i> -<i> </i>and a simple half-up-half-down hairdo. After all, the choker is the center of attention. This is perfect for that fancy dinner with that special someone this Valentine's Day!</div>
<br />
P.S: How gorgeous is the gold accent on the heel?<br />

During these past few months, I have been to numerous Primark stores all over the country... I kid you not...I've been to the one in Coventry, London, Middlesbrough, Edinburgh...but I didn't spend that much though. I'm the kind that is perfectly content with just perusing the rails and 'window shopping' However, I did get a couple of 'essentials' and things in the <i>Primark sale. Y</i>es, the only thing that is better than Primark itself - Primark sales.</div>

As seen above, I picked up quite a few pieces of jewellery. Most of them were only<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">£</span>1 or <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">£</span>1.50</span> (with the exception of the geometric triangular necklace on the far left which was 3...I loved it so much I needed it) and the packs of earrings were between <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">£</span>2 to <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">£</span>2.50. So not that pricey at all! I think that Primark has the best affordable jewellery range and I love the affordability of these too!</div>

Although I love my navy super chunky knit snood that was also from Primark, sometimes the whole 'taking up half of your face' look isn't the most attractive.

This is my favourite item out of everything (okay, second favourite). I call this my teddy bear sweater because IT IS SO FLUFFY and warm and snuggly.

<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
With Valentine's Day coming up in about a week, you might be stuck as to what to give your significant other. I know I am. After being together for a couple of years, what do you do when it seems as if you've given them everything known to mankind? That's where creativity comes in... </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<a name='more'></a></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I think it's safe to say that Valentine's Day is fast becoming a commercialised event. I mean, how many cheesy store bought cards, boxes of chocolate, teddy bears or flowers does one really need? (<i>Of course, I wouldn't say no to them!</i>) Enough of the cliche gifts that you can give to literally anyone on the streets, it's time to think outside the box! Personally, I love handmade gifts because not only can you write what you really want on them, they are just a whole lot more authentic and it's awesome knowing that time and effort has been spent. Of course, I am fully aware that not everyone has loads of time on their hands so I have scoured the wonders of online shopping and compiled a gift guide that goes against the commercialised norm that I hope will either spark some creativity or can be personalised specially for <i>only </i>your special someone.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><i>
1. Lingerie - <a href="http://fave.co/1Azfwra">Boux Avenue</a> </i></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Okay, so this doesn't have much to do with creativity, but can you really beat a luxurious lingerie set on special day from that special someone? Whether you fancy a personal treat or as a gift for someone, this will tick the boxes! <i><a href="http://fave.co/1Azfwra">Boux Avenue</a></i> has an entire range dedicated to Valentine's Day at a reasonable price - but if you're not too keen on that, check out <i><a href="http://fave.co/1DMOavz">Ann Summer's Valentine's Day</a></i> range too! There's something for everyone ;)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

2. Personalized jewellery -<a href="https://www.etsy.com/"> Etsy </a>or <a href="http://fave.co/1Azer2s">Not On The High Street</a></b></i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
This really should be number #1 because you honestly can't go wrong with jewellery because each piece is unique. <i>Especially </i>if it's personalized. Engrave your initials, anniversary date or even an inside joke - the possibilities are endless. For a more masculine version for guys, the 'dog tags' design would be a good place to start. The one in the collage above comes from<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/193612860/a-date-to-remember-necklace-with-elegant?ref=shop_home_active_9" style="font-style: italic;"> this Etsy seller</a> but <i><a href="http://fave.co/1Azer2s">notonthehighstreet.com</a></i> and just <i><a href="https://www.etsy.com/">Etsy</a></i> in general are great places to hunt for handmade, personalised and unique items.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

<center style="text-align: left;">

3. USB mix tape - <a href="http://fave.co/1DMPoa0">Prezzybox.com</a></i></b></center>
<br />
<center style="text-align: left;">
A blast from the past. Remember the days of mix CDs and tapes? Where you can give your 'crush' a carefully curated playlist or maybe made one especially for roadtrips? For someone that is technologically clueless (<i>like me</i>), fo<span style="font-family: inherit;">r just <span style="background-color: #ececec;">£</span>14.95, <i><a href="http://fave.co/1DMPoa0">Prez</a></i></span><i><a href="http://fave.co/1DMPoa0">zybox.com</a></i> allows you to choose 900 minutes of music to put onto a USB stick, which they will then put inside a tape style gift pack. Inside, you can write your own playlist and messages! An awesome present for those music lovers.</center>
<br />
<br />
<center style="text-align: left;">

4. Polabox - <a href="http://fave.co/1zUQx14">PrintKlub</a></i></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Another great idea to start those creativity buds, and especially good if you've stored up tons of photos or have recently been traveling together! The concept behind this is, you can choose your favourite photos on Instagram or your camera roll and then they will print it out on high quality uber special photo paper and put it in an adorable box, ready to be gifted! Of course, you can opt to have this in <i><a href="http://fave.co/1AAAeqp">magnet form</a></i>, a <i><a href="http://fave.co/1DMZN5x">larger poster style</a></i> or turned into a <i><a href="http://fave.co/1zUQYZc">photo book</a></i>...but my absolute favourite is this <i><a href="http://fave.co/1JYAlfh">photobooth style</a></i>!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>

5. Pillow case - <a href="http://www.culturelabel.com/products/BeesHoney-Pillowcase-single/">Culture Label</a></i></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
This may seem rather odd, but I find it adorable. I love the cute sayings - they aren't that cringe-worthy, promise! - and I think it's a great idea for room decoration. Also, just imagine snuggling up with this pillow when you're heading to bed or relaxing on the couch.</center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Last but not least...a sharpie mug. Yes, there is no link above because <i>YOU </i>can exercise your artistic talent and do this yourself! After all, nothing says personalised than something that is handmade and hand-drawn by youuuu! Also, this ensures that you're the first thing on their mind when they have their daily morning cuppa. Best part? It's seriously simple. All you need is a white mug - I got mine at <i><a href="http://fave.co/1Dte9Ib">Tesco</a></i> - and oil-based sharpies. <i><a href="http://fave.co/1JJMTHh">Amazon</a></i> and <i><a href="http://fave.co/1JJMTHl">eBay</a></i> are good places to get these! For a more comprehensive guide, check out <i><a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.com/2012/06/his-her-sharpie-mug-diy.html">A Beautiful Mess</a> (collage picture credits goes to her)</i> and for tips on achieving the best results, <i><a href="http://www.craftaholicsanonymous.net/21-tips-for-diy-sharpie-marker-mugs">this page</a></i> has all you need to know.

Yes, I am aware that it's been well over a month since Christmas...but with this weather, I do find myself singing them festive songs. A couple of days ago, I shared the only 3 coats I needed for surviving winter (<i>I know, can't believe I narrowed it down so much</i>) and now, because I have the lowest tolerance of the cold, here are some things that I absolutely can't live without when the temperatures drops to the minuses or I will freeze my butt off...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you can see from the state of those boots, they are pretty worn...which makes sense cause I literally wear them everywhere. I love the design, they go with everything and they're super comfy - perfect for walking to my lectures around campus. I've even loved them so much that when the front section was splitting, I glued them with shoe-glue. So yea...I'll be trying to preserve these for as long as I can.</div>

I can't rave enough about these. I use them around my bedroom and flat and I am not kidding when I say it feels like you're walking on pillows/clouds. So so so comfy. Surprisingly, they also keep my feet warm and toasty - sometimes so warm that I have to take them off to let my feet cool! Everyone needs a pair of these.</div>

Yes, another pair of socks...I just find them a winter essential and you just need so many different ones. I included these in my <i><a href="http://thecraziestparadigm.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/5-senses-january.html">5 senses: January</a></i> post but I do think that these especially are a must. They're cheap, <span style="background-color: white; color: #646464; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">£</span>2.50 for two pairs and I've got 6 pairs. I wear them everyday underneath my tights. Not only do they give me feet some cushioning when I walk everyday, but most importantly, they keep them warm. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am not exaggerating when I say that I live in these because I really do. Because I hate wearing tights under my jeans (<i>they just feel so odd and uncomfortable) </i>my trick is to wear 2 layers of tights so my legs won't freeze. That being said, I often opt to wear skirts and dresses just so I can layer up. They are <span style="background-color: white; color: #646464; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">£</span>3.50 a pair, the fleece lining really helps and if you're like me, you'll get tons of wear out of these.</div>

Have I raved about these enough? You guys are probably sick of seeing this in every post now :P But there is good reason for that, I promise! One of my favourite scents of all time, a fraction of the price of the ones from The Body Shop and it's always good to moisturize that dry skin.</div>

I've got another - Blackcurrant & Orchid - and spied 'Coconut & Vanilla' a few days ago so I'm gonna catch 'em all.</span></center>

First off, I am proud to say that I have introduced this indulgent to my flatmates :D But seriously, if you're craving for something quick and sweet, this is it. Best part? You probably have all the ingredients in your pantry and if you don't, they are ridiculously cheap. For one portion, all you need is:</center>

1. Put the water in first - so the flour and cocoa powder won't stick to the sides...</center>

4. Place in the microwave for 1 to 1.5 minutes (depending on the strength of the microwave and how 'gooey' you want the center to be. On 800W, I find that 1 minute is perfect for a half-cake half-gooey middle)</center>
<center style="background-color: white; color: #646464; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: left;">
5. Et voila! I find this to be particularly good with ice cream!</center>

So this is basically a fun New Year project/series that I actually saw on <i><a href="http://www.minipennyblog.com/">Mini Penny Blog</a></i>, but first started at <a href="http://cleartheway.net/12-lists-number-1/"><i>Clear the Way</i></a> and <a href="http://chezgillian.com/1-of-12-lists/"><i>Chez Gillian</i></a>. It's super simple - there will be one list each month and you just simply write your own personal list according to the topic. I'm going to try and keep this up every month because it's a fun project that doesn't take up loads of time and let's you get to know the person behind the blog better! January's list: <b>favourite smells</b>.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My favourite smells:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. <b>Vanilla</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My number 1 favourite smells of all time. I love any baking recipe that calls for vanilla essence and I can spend all day just smelling that little bottle of goodness. If it weren't weird, I would probably have a collection of empty vanilla essence bottles by now. So. Good. Maybe that's why I am addicted to my <i><a href="http://fave.co/1tP1nSY">Bath & Body Works hand sanitizer</a></i> in 'Warm Vanilla Sugar'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. <b>Elevators</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am fully aware of how weird this sounds... but there's just something about the smell of elevators that I am drawn to...maybe it's the fresh cement smell...yes, I know this is odd...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. <b>Chocolate cake fresh out of the oven</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Surely no one can disagree with me on this!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. <b>Fresh grass</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just gives a very soothing effect. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. <b>Primark candles</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They smell amazing and are only 80p for one! I only have 2 of them at the moment, but when I went the last time, I saw that they had another, 'Coconut & Vanilla' and if you read the point above...I <i>have </i>to get that</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7. <b>I love... Mango & Papaya range</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Didn't expect to like this scent as much as I do because it smells absolutely delicious. Not to empowering or artificial and just so fresh. I originally bought the body butter only, but then my sister gave me the Body Scrub and Shower Creme for Christmas! Now I can smell like mangoes and papayas everydayyyy. You can get them at <i><a href="http://fave.co/1FHYV4Q">Superdrug</a></i>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. <b>Vaseline in Cocoa Butter</b> -</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I included this in my <i><a href="http://thecraziestparadigm.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/5-senses-of-october.html">5 senses post</a></i> in October. Smells so good I can just eat it. The best part? It only costs a pound at Poundland. Alternatively, you can buy it at <i><a href="http://fave.co/1AaAITX">Superdrug</a></i>, <i><a href="http://fave.co/1AaAM6j">Boots</a></i>, <i><a href="http://fave.co/1AaALz7">Tesco</a> </i>and <i><a href="http://fave.co/1AaAJHE">Wilko's</a></i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
When I first arrived to the UK, I made two mistakes:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
a) Buying wayyy too many coats simply because each one was slightly different to the other. But in my defense, it was my first time getting the chance to buy any sort of outerwear so I naturally employed the 'gotta catch 'em all' attitude...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
b). Assuming that December was the coldest month in the UK so when Christmas came and went, and there wasn't any signs of snow, I thought, "Hey, English winter ain't that bad...what was everyone on about?" Needless to say, I was proven wrong because I am just finding out that mid January - mid February is in fact, the coldest periods.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yet buying coats to fit a petite frame is no easy task (<i>probably why I got so many...that and my uncontrollable impulse shopping habit</i>). It has to fulfill certain criteria. The sleeves can't be too long, a tailored fit is preferred or else it might drown you and look oversized when it's not meant to be and it has to be of perfect length. As with dresses, there can't be any awkward mini/midi/maxi in betweens.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That being said, after buying more coats than I needed and trialing/testing them in the English weather, I have narrowed my coat collection to <i>three </i>- pretty proud of myself for that. </div>

1. <a href="http://fave.co/1Ka1kEL" style="font-style: italic;">Navy Toggle Front Hooded Coat - New Look</a><i> <strike>Was <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 26px;">£</span>34</span>.99</strike> Now </i><i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 26px;">£9</span></span></i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"> This is actually my most recent coat and I got it during the New Look Boxing Day Sale. Quite a bargain if you ask me! Although I definitely did not need another coat at that point, I really liked the navy shade, how it nips in slightly at the waist, how it looks relatively smart, how it has a hood just in case it starts raining... <i>and it has pockets</i>. Needless to say, when it arrived, I loved the brown leather accents. The sleeves are only a teeny bit long, but I cuff them so it's all good. The length is perfect and so is the fit! It's also actually quite warm.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i>2. <a href="http://www.hm.com/gb/">H&M</a> - <span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 26px;">£15</span></span></span></i></div>
<br />
I got this before Christmas time and it was also in the sale section so another bargain! I was a bit hesitant about this at first because coats like these usually drown and work against me. But the boyfriend convinced me to try it on at least (<i>and probably because I was taking wayyy too long deciding and he was getting impatient...</i>) Again, sleeves were just a little bit long, but nothing a little cuffing can't fix! Other than that, I loved it. It has a double breasted/trench style, pockets (<i>something all coats must have</i>), the length wasn't too long which was something I was actually surprised about and came with a belt (<i>not pictured) </i>although I usually wear it unbuttoned. As the material is quite thick, it's perfect for those colder days and leaves room for layering too!<br />

Now <i>this </i>is my ultimate snuggly warm coat. The one I wear when the temperature goes to or is close to the minuses. The one I wear when it's snowing outside. My aunt actually got this for me sort of as a 'going to England' present. Although it's not the most fashionable of coats and does make me look like an oversized marshamllow, I can't stress how warm it is! The insides have a sort of fleecy lining and the pockets too - which keeps my hands so warm. Highly recommend this for someone that has a low tolerance to super cold weather (<i>AKA me</i>).</div>

So here you have it, the only 3 coats I need to survive the winter. Of course, I check the weather forecast every morning to determine which one I wear which usually depends on the time I will be spent outdoors vs. indoors, the amount of layering I want to wear and the temperature. Now, it's time for me to get rid of the other coats!<br />

Gone are the days when lingerie are only meant to be worn and not seen. Starting from peeks of lacy bralets under low drop arm hole tops, the whole 'undergarments as outerwear' trend is gradually taking the world by storm...</div>

But who knew you could accessorize your undergarments now? Cue <i><a href="http://www.estylingerie.com/">Esty Lingerie</a></i> - a shop that sells "beautiful, ethical and handmade lingerie", so if you're looking for something unique for a special occasion (<i>or not</i>), then this is the place! They've got a bunch of things ranging from sexy lingerie to flirty nightwear, from bridal garments to accessories (<i>yes, you read it right - you can customize your bras!</i>) </div>

I opt to receive one of their <i><a href="http://www.estylingerie.com/detachable-bra-straps-45-c.asp">Black Satin Elastic Choker Central Bra Strap*</a> </i>which retails for</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">£10.99.</span></span> Basically, you strap it on the middle of your bra and wear it as a choker - with the crystals as a lovely touch. Although this is wayyy out of my comfort zone, fashion and style is all about breaking the boundaries. So in the upcoming days/weeks, you will see an outfit post with this as a center piece to prove that undergarments should not just be hidden and can really be jazzed up to make it wearable. </div>

Besides a LBD and a statement lippie, what a girl also needs is a signature scent - <i>their </i>signature scent. A scent that appeals to them and compliments their personality. This is where <i><a href="http://signaturefragrances.co.uk/">Signature Fragrances</a></i> comes in. They produce luxurious high quality perfume with 'Pure Parfum' strength and every fragrance contains little or no alcohol</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<i>"Signature Fragrance London is a contemporary fragrance house that is inspired by perfumery's beguiling past: when fragrances were crafted to leave long lasting impacts. We provide a selection of robust fragrance oils suited to passionate perfume lovers. With an array of unique scents, we aim to restore your personal identity through the sense of smell."</i></div>

With a wide range of scents - from floral to sweet, fresh to oriental woods, there is something for everyone, and every occasion, no matter day or night. Also, guess what - they have a men's range for those guys out there too. I was privileged to be able to try 2 of their samples below:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was privileged to receive 2 samples (2ml each) from them - <a href="http://signaturefragrances.co.uk/product/lola/">Lola*</a> and <a href="http://signaturefragrances.co.uk/product/woody-conjure/">Woody Conjure*</a>. What's good about this brand is that you can actually opt to receive samples of fragrances to see which scent you like before committing to a full-sized one. However, I will tell you that you'll be the envy of everyone if you purchase the full sized one because they are packaged in intricate, delicate glass bottles that will look absolutely gorgeous when displayed on shelves or on your dressing table.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Neither the samples nor the full sized product have a pump or anything, because <a href="http://signaturefragrances.co.uk/">Signature Fragrances</a> recommends that you just <i>"tilt the bottle so that some of the perfume touches the stopper, which you then can use to dab onto your wrists, neck and anywhere else you desire to apply your precious scent."</i> I will have to agree with them on this one because a little goes a <i>very </i>long way. I wore Lola for 9 hours and by the end, it still lingers on my skin. Not as strong as the beginning (<i>obviously</i>), but it is definitely still there. </div>

Just look at that description and tell me is that not the most classiest sounding scent? Part of the Sweet Collection, I think that Lola is one that will suit a wide age range. Personally, I would wear it during the day as it's more floral, light and subtle, but who's to stop you if you end up loving this and want to wear it all day everyday?</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Woody Conjure is part of the men's range - more specifically, the Oriental Collection that explores the richness of the Far East. Although I don't know much about a men's preference for scents, I know that I would love it if my guy wore this (<i>hint hint</i>) and any other guy will score some major brownie points. It's subtle, yet exudes this hint of sexiness (<i>can you describe fragrances this way?!</i>) and to me, seems like something a true gentlemen would wear. It smells quite natural and not too over-empowering. </span></div>

Also, little bit does go a long way with these fragrances and when you've used it up, you will get to keep that gem of a perfume bottle forever so there's your compromise! If you don't mind not having a glass bottle or just want to try the scents, then you can purchase 2ml samples for <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85098);"><i>£4.95</i> each - which comes with free worldwide shipping (<i>and currently on a Buy 2 Get 1 Free promo!</i>). The full sized product also come in a classy black box with a stain lined interior so it's a perfect gift for a family/friend or maybe a luxurious treat for yourself. <span style="font-family: inherit;">Next up, I would love to tr<span style="font-family: inherit;">y <i><a href="http://signaturefragrances.co.uk/product/deja-vu/">D</a></i></span></span></span><i><a href="http://signaturefragrances.co.uk/product/deja-vu/"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">é</span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85098);">j</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">à</span></a></i><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85098);"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><a href="http://signaturefragrances.co.uk/product/deja-vu/"> Vu</a></i> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">because of it's vanilla notes (</span><i style="font-family: inherit;">some may know that it's my all time favourite smell)</i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> and <i><a href="http://signaturefragrances.co.uk/product/odd-rush/">Odd Rush</a></i> because with that many fragrance notes in one, I am intrigued.</span></div>
