Hello!!!
So on Friday, my mum, sister and I went to London to watch the X Factor tour (which was amazing by the way!)
And we wanted to go somewhere cool in the Saturday-and I said that I wanted to go to Camden.
I've always wanted to go, but we've never gotten round to it! So we got on the tube and went to Camden, and the first thing we saw was a massive market which we didn't spend much time in because the stuff wasn't what I wanted. I wanted to find some cool vintage shops where I could buy something amazing.
At first we went to a vintage shop called Rokit which was really cool but I couldn't find what I wanted to find. The clothes weren't as colourful as I wanted-I wanted something bright and with an interesting print.
So we left Rokit (my sister bought a jumper) and we headed up the road which seemed to go on forever!!!
But the lady in Rokit recommended that we go to another vintage shop further up called Episode. We went inside and it was literally the most gorgeous place ever! {and it was playing the arctic monkeys so that was a huge bonus:D}
It was so bright!!! My sister found a yellow jumper with a cornucopia on it and I nearly died;)
In Episode, they re-vamp old clothes and make them into really cool pieces. There were loads of extremely cool pleated mini skirts in weird prints and I fell in love with them. We were looking through and I decided to buy a bright green one adorned with prints of fish and starfish which was utterly amazing!!!
I also wanted a sweatshirt because I haven't actually got one! And I found the funniest one ever! It says 'DEER HUNTER' on it and has a really funny slogan on it. It was so strange but charming-and now it's my baby:)
Then we went to Camden Lock and the shops were super cool (especially one vintage shop in which I found the coolest pink dress printed with gold crosses!!!) but we had to leave early because we had to get back home.
Overall I had a brilliant time and I can't wait to go back in April to buy more strange things.
Love, Jaimee xx

EBAY FINDS-SHOES!
HI AGAIN!!! I haven't posted in ages~sorry~but I'm having a great summer woooh!
I've decided today to show you a selection of amazing items I've found on ebay, all for really great prices!!!
SHOES:
As you all know, my creepers came this week (only £11.99!!!:) and they are absolutely amazing!!! You seriously wouldn't be able to tell the difference compared to the more expensive brands, and they're really high quality aswell! Although the downside is that they are a bit uncomfortable, but that's probably because I need to break them in.
There are LOADS of amazing shoes on ebay, especially Japanese style-inspired shoes (harajuku~ish)
CREEPERS
of all styles and colours. Dead ringers for expensive brands: (my favourites are the dalmatian print, red and fuschia!)
FIND THEM HERE...
OMG WHEN I FOUND THIS NEXT PAIR I DIED A LITTLE ON THE INSIDE WOOOOH
and these shoes are great!!! I love the shape of them! the only problem will probably be wearing them with different outfits...
'DR.MARTENS' STYLE BOOTS
These floral boots are so cute and only £19.99!!!
And these patent ones in neon colours will turn heads:D
HEELED LACE-UPS (LIKE JEFFERY CAMPBELL LITAS)
aaaaargh if I was older and I could walk in heels, I'd buy all of these!!! I particulary love the USA print ones!
hope you like them:)

Recent Drawings
Hi!
Recently I've been drawing a few cute pictures for my art project on originality and individuality-focussing mainly on clothes:) and I found that tumblr has the most amazing pictures to recreate!
I'm just practising now so I've plainly copied the pictures, but when I get round to doing the pages in my art journal and all the sketches/pictures will be out of my own imagination:D
Hope you like them!!! xx

NEWSPAPER NAILS with water, not alcohol
okay, so I was watching videos on Youtube to inspire me to paint my nails with a cool technique, and I came across newspaper nail art!
I thought it looked absolutely amazing so I fetched all the stuff that was needed, and I didn't have any alcohol.
I was searching for alternatives, and I found this video, which shows you how to create newspaper nails with WATER, not alcohol!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1ASQkunWSQ
and I decided to try it out, it was successful, and I'd like to show you guys how to do it for yourselves:) x
*WHITE POLISH
*A CUP OF WATER
*NEWSPAPER
1. PREPARE YOUR NAILS: cut and file your nails into shape
2. APPLY A BASE COAT: apply a clear coat to your nails to protect them.
3. Paint your nails WHITE:
4. Cut out 10 squares of newspaper, making sure they're big enough to fit around your nail:
5. Making sure your nails are completely dry, dip a piece of newspaper into your cup of water:
5. APPLY THE WET PAPER ONTO YOUR NAIL AND SQUEEZE/PRESS DOWN:
when you've left it on your nail for about 1 minute, peel it off and you will be left with a great "newspaper" effect.
REPEAT THIS METHOD FOR ALL OF YOUR NAILS!!!
6. *THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT* make sure you apply a clear coat to your nails after you've completed them, otherwise the ink will just rub off!
ENJOY YOUR BRAND NEW NEWSPAPER NAILS!
(you can also do it with alcohol, it comes out slightly darker, and you can experiment using comic strips etc...)
