Party Party

This is gonna be a super quick post with a shizzload of pictures because I wanna get this up before Lynnie goes away to the Gaeltacht tomorrow!! *cries* so excuse all typos / lame captions for photos and all that cool stuff.

Last Sunday I had an extremely belated party/sleepover for my 18th @ Lynnie's house. I decided to have a theme and I went with retro since it's pretty vague and I wanted people to choose for themselves what era they'd like to be. Mhmm I am so nice like that. ^_^

~Outfit show & tell time~
*awkward camera poses* So I choose 60s as my era. I think my dress definitely does look quite 60s and my attempt at a half-beehive worked okay I think. Since I suck with hairstyles. o-o Oh and I also did Twiggy-styled makeup but toned down a lot. Mainly because I was sort of scared to try out false lashes. Lolol. 

You can see the beehive a little better here. Not too shabby right? :o

Another selca. O_O

*coughs* and another but this is the last of my camho shots yo. This one is my favourite methinks.

Lynnie! She did 80s style~ looking very Blondie/Madonna/idk who else-esque.

"They did that in the 80s!"

*is beginning to look like proper 80s photoshoot* orz nao I feel embarrassed for my awkward posing lolol. 

Lily ^O^ who was also 80s. Notice the couple shoes with Lynnie kekeke.

*shouts* kawaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~


Roi chose 50s so she looked super classy & elegant. So perdyyyyy. *-*

*cries* our makenae looks all grown up~

*just noticed* Roi has a really nice side profile. o-o 

Last but not least; Shauna the hippie! I thought it was funny how instead of saying she was 60s I kept on saying hippie lolol. 

Now for some obligatory trippy hippie pictures...



Embracing a lamp. o-o Hippies are totes cray I tells ya~

Caoili (Lynnie's lil' sister) took over as photographer to take some group photos of us all together. Actually this always happens on occasions like this at Lynnie's house lolol. Danke, Caoili. ^-^



~walking through the eras~ even though none of us are in the right order of era. Oopsies.


Lynnie is the only person who actually changed their pose. >.< Oh wait actually my arms are in different positions. I guess that sort of counts~

Roi was about to ditch us here. *sobs* I look like I'm dancing/about to fall/diving/running awkwardly/etc.

Doo-poses!

peekaboo. O_O

~Other random pictures~
Shauna & Lynnie~

me, Lily & Roi~

Lily & Roi~ I love Roi's falsies here. :3

Roi & Lynnie~ our two adorable maknaes ^o^

Lily & Lynnie~ 80s derp.

More 80s derp for everyone!

Really cannot remember what was going on when this was taken. o-o

And again with bonus hippie Shauna in the background~

Pictures of polaroids I took!

A picture of me taking a picture of all of us on my instax. I was gonna say pic-ception but...you can't really see my instax so it doesn't count. =_=

-STORY TIME-
Once upon a time Lynnie wanted to take a picture w/ Shauna doing a cute pose but Shauna became distracted by someone else and.....
Lynnie was left all alone and sad and looked super silly cause she had no one else to do her pose with.
But suddenly a wild Shauna reappeared and.......
Lynnie was finally able to achieve one of her lifelong goals and take an ultra osm picture with me!!!!!!!!! THE END. BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYE EVERY TIME WTF.

We decided for food that we would all make pizza together and it turned out really good! Although it was mainly Lynnie & Roi's work lolol. Of course we leave the youngest to cook.

Kitchen fun~ my "OMG PIZZA YAY!!" face, Roi looking like a proper 1950s housewife in the kitchen and Riri with her amazing giraffe ears.

Nomnomnomnomnom. Roi's heart-shaped pizza is blocked by the chips orz.

OMFG I LOOK SO CREEPY HERE BUT YES THIS IS BIRTHDAY CAKE. So altogether for my 18th bday I've had... 4 cakes. O_O But really I'm sort of scared of myself after this picture. v__v

Playing with the balloons kekeke~

Afterwards we had an osm dance party with equally osm songs from yesteryear! Let's just say there was a lot of dodgy dancing done...mainly from me. o_e

The morning after. O_O tbh, I think we don't look too bad considering we got like barely any sleep. (and also cause I'm not directly looking into the camera ;D)

Then we realised Lynnie was taking pictures of us lolol. *hides*

And that is everything! Did anyone survive the huge amount of photos? o-o Greetings, if you did. You win the most amazing prize evar. But I can't tell you what it is.

Lynnie, I hope you see this before you leave! D: I shall miss you dearly *sniffs* but never fear 'cause we shall all be reunited together again sooooooooooooooon. Have an osm time & I promise I shall write to you! :3 omg I said 'shall' too many times orz. yolo and all that jazz. u_u

Market Finds; June 17th

To be completely honest, there weren't that many good stalls this week probably because of the weather, but I did manage to find a few good ones. ^_^ The Muffin Man (local home bakery) wasn't there though which was slightly depressing. They better be the there the next time I go or there will be serious consequences wtf.


I found another cardigan that still had the label on it for only €2! O.O I think I have a gift for finding nice but cheap cardigans.

It was originally £14.......which would be like €20 maybe? (awful at currency conversions). I didn't even know it was a size 20 until I got home but idc cause I loooooove really loose-fitted cardigans! They're so cosy. :3

My cousin actually gave me this as a late late birthday gift, so if you ever somehow stumble across my blog, thank you Chris! And Holly too. ^_^ Really curious to know what the characters mean and if they even make sense.

Picture of the other side~


Novelty pens lolol. What age do I think I am seriously. They were super cheap (can't remember how much exactly) and they looked kind of cute so I was like *grabs*
Usually a lot of novelty pens tend to be awful to write with cause the ink sucks but I tested all of these and they're totally fine. I used one to write a letter to one of my pen-pals. ^^

Incense burner! We used to have one but then it just vanished a while ago. o.o Comes with rose, lavender and sandalwood (never heard of it before).

Some interesting looking Buddha type thing. Actually I think this picture came out quite nice lol. I got it 'cause he's holding & surrounded by money(at least I think that's what it is u_u) so maybe it means if I have one it will also make me rich? :o My logic amazes me sometimes. #puregenius #usinghashtagsoutsideoftwitterlololyolobbz2k12xoxo

I bought the pens, incense burner & Buddha charm(idek what to call it) at the same stall and it was all €6. So I think that was pretty good value. ^.^

This bracelet is supposed to keep away ~evil spirits~ or something along those lines. I can't remember what the guy at the stall said tbh. I thought it looked quite interesting so I bought it!
Then I did some research on it and the coloured beads are called evil eye beads and they're apparently good luck charms that ward off the evil eye. o.o According to Wikipedia they're very common in Turkey. Do we have an equivalent to this in Ireland? Seeing as we're a pretty superstitious country and whatnot.

And last but not least..... This super cute giraffe brooch! Giraffe's are such interesting animals. They're so awkwardly lanky and goofy looking lolol.

That's all folks! ;D
