Graduation 2011...... I have a BSc Hons!


...... which I am very thankful and appreciative off... obv :)

This is probably old news to all those that follow me on Twitter already, but yes, I have at last officially graduated with a BSc Hons! A huge thank you to everyone that left me lovely, uplifting comments and messages on both Twitter/Facebook as I was a literal big bag of nerves. The Graduation Ceremony itself was held on Thursday 17/11/2011 at 7pm but since we arrived at our destination (Tom Tom style) at 3pm for the robe collection and professional studio photographs, I was made to roam around St Albans (Herts) in my gown for the rest of the afternoon/evening being stalked by Hertfordshire paparazzi and local shoppers. Overall, a surreal day where lots of hugs, kisses, farewells, best wishes and pictures were exchanged, marking a remarkable end to my Uni era and my journey from an undergraduate - graduand - graduate.

Now onto some pictures, OOTD/FOTD that kinda thing......


- FACE -
Estee Lauder daywear advanced multi-protection anti-oxidant SPF 15 lotion mixed with half a pump of Pixi flawless beauty primer in No. 1 Even Skin and a pea sized amount of MAC face and body foundation in C3
MAC cream colour base in Hush (to highlight cheekbones and brow bone)
Rimmel stay matte pressed powder in Transparent (on T-zone only)

- EYES -
Blinc tube mascara in Dark Brown on top lashes
AVON super enchant mascara in Black on botton lashes
Benefit high brow brow lifting pencil (in bottom waterline)

- LIPS -
Burt's Bees nourishing lip balm in Mango
MAC lip pencil in Redd
MAC l/s in Lady Danger (matte)
Revlon colourburst lipgloss in Strawberry



- GRAD OOTD -
Topshop long sleeved chiffon shirt with gold buttons in Burgundy
Topshop tall basic vest in Black (worn underneath)
River Island skinny trousers with zip detail in Black
Carvela by Kurt Geiger (KG) Sophie patent bow shoes in Nude
Infamous Graduation attire which cost a bomb just to hire! Bank breaker!!!



I will, fingers crossed, write a whole new ‘House of flies’ blogpost in the near future on the jewellery that I wore to my Grad Ceremony, so watch out for that one coming very soon!

A few days before my Graduation I popped into a Selfridges branch where I effectively bathed myself in Jimmy Choo Eau de parfum (the fruity basenotes are superb). So post-Graduation when I received some Grad money from my darling mum and dad, I bought myself the Jimmy Choo 60ml EDP gift set as a Graduation treat which since that point has slowly interchanged my signature Elizabeth Arden's Red Door.


Phew, could not help reminiscing throughout writing this one :) until next time, turrah.
