What I got for Christmas

I have got around to re-filming my "What I got for Christmas" video, so that is FINALLY up!

Took me three attempts but it's working at least, apologies for the quality it always seems to get worse after I export it from iMovie.

I am hoping to purchase a video camera, or flip camera soon so vlogging will be much easier! (I will also try to remake this video, with much better quality)

This is the classic "What I got for Christmas" type of post and video

Below I have listed as many of the products I can actually find online, for anything else that features in the video that you might be interested in leave a comment or tweet me @defyingstarz and I'll be more than happy to answer your questions or give you information!

This weeks wants #1

Being that Christmas is behind us now, I've had my eye on a few little things (not that I don't usually, of course). I thought I would start a weekly segment that I could easily do from my macbook if I didn't have the time to film a video or to take some proper photos. So here it goes!

This week I have had my eyes on:

1. The one and only Michael Kors. I know these watches have become increasingly popular and a lot of people seem to own one, but I still cannot help myself. They really are beautiful and the one I have always fancied is the Gold Chronograph watch.

2. Next up is something that I missed out on in the sales, and it sold out! (sad face) Topshop's Knitted Textured Fluffy Cardi. Literally quite in love with this item of clothing. When I saw it on the website I really couldn't wait to get it but I told myself I wasn't allowed it until it went into the sales. Thus I was wrong to try to stop myself shopping as it pretty much went out of stock the next day!

3. Finally, a staple for anyones makeup bag who is constantly on the go. Chanel's Illusion d'Ombre. I haven't yet had a chance to give these a try but I do have some Christmas money left so I might have to indulge and treat myself.

4 & 5. These two gems are more of a practical purchase. Having recently got a macbook pro, I need some sort of case to keep it safe when carrying it around (I'm a worrier, I know) and what better than a Michael Kors laptop case to keep it cosy?

Obviously I can't leave my ipad out, it would feel lonely, so the matching pair would be very nice.

These also come in different colours and are at quite reasonable prices for a designer label.

Also in this weeks wants is a provisional driving license, but a picture of that might not be so pretty.

This was just a silly post, I hope to have better up soon as I have three hauls ready to film!

Happy reading

Introduction to Blogger

Thought to start off it'd only be polite to create a short and simple post about myself!

 I am 20 years of age, I am currently studying a Degree in Illustration, and working night shifts to earn some dollar.

I often receive compliments that I should be a make up artist, or working on at least a make up counter somewhere! I do love make up, and make up artistry but I have decided for now to secure a degree and a job before pursuing a dream.
This does not stop my interest in beauty, and beauty products though!

I love all things Disney, Chanel, gold, polka dot, the colour cream, clean cut blazers and beautiful coats.
I love perfect (and messy) buns and my favourite colour/shade is black.
I adore all things fashion, it has been a big part of my life for such a long time and I seem to always be studying anything fashion related.
I am a big Disney fanatic, my fixation with Disney is nearly as great as my fixation for clothing.
I would really like to start a vlog channel on youtube, but I am very busy juggling a job and university and everything between. We'll see.

I'm still not too sure how to work blogger, or how to make my blog look gorgeous!

So do bare with me! :)

Happy blogging,

A
