I've been um-ing and ah-ing over getting new extensions for well awhile now.
I've previously had clip ins which I did manage to restore to some degree but still need replacing.
So question....Do I buy some more clip ins or do I get some micro loops instead?
Theres pros and cons with both,personally I don't like the hassle of clip ins and would just like to wake up with long hair...however having not had micro loops before I wonder if they will hurt and get knotted etc
Any thoughts?or experiences?

I'm back!
I went up to Leicester again,and this time I couldn't resist the MAC counter:O
So I went from Monday to Thursday,spent most of that with the bf , however the bf went off to Leeds on Tuesday .So I planned a clubbing night with my ex-housemate,I hadn't been to a night club since Halloween(!!:O) which is weird seeing as her and I used to go a couple of times a week.
Its not really an option anymore where I live as the 2(yes 2) local clubs are mega shit and just like my town their backwards.Having been to better clubs in Leicester I've grown to dislike my local ones even more,their overpriced and have crappy music,not really appealing.
So we went to Superfly (http://www.superfly-city.com/) I've always liked it as a venue as it a gorgeous Tudor 4 story building.In my 1st yr of Uni,it was called Original Four and was mostly dead:(,but they've revamped it in last couple of years.
Being so club deprived for so long made me even more happy to be there,it was student night on Tuesdays so entry's cheap as were the drinks though I think the bar staff were being generous as they know my ex housemate and the music was contemporary(hint hint~ local clubs)
To sum it up as I could waffle on for a while~It was so much fun,lots of dancing and merriment and it made me miss Leicester even more.
Monday upon arriving the bf and I went out for dinner at our favourite restaurant Little Tokyo (http://www.little-tokyo.co.uk/) for our anniversary(2 years) and kinda valentines day though we don't really celebrate it if im honest.He also gave me these~
Besides that and some shopping,I've not been doing much for my holiday just relaxing:)
On to my purchases....
I'd have cropped and made them pretty in PS but Im lacking it at the moment:O
Not much of a collection really though my current favourites are Crimsonette(the burgundy colour) , Panamonium Eye palette and sable now:D
Oh and my shopping service Package arrived so I'll post about that next time,with co-ordinates XD

As mine broke.
Besides that and some shopping,I've not been doing much for my holiday just relaxing:)
On to my purchases....
I'd have cropped and made them pretty in PS but Im lacking it at the moment:O
The stripe material are PJ bottoms,I had to buy more as mine have all mysteriously shrunk .I say mysteriously as I always wash my clothing on 30 .hmm Oh well.
The noodles and seaweed where given by the bf :)
I brought the RI boots I posted in my RI lust post a couple of entries back.I was in need of some short boots,as my last pair needed to be binned.....about 5 months ago:O and have now aggravated an old ankle injury I had:( Hopefully these will be better for my ankle:D ~There actually black not grey like in the photo.
Picked up a pair of coloured courts as I'd be looking for a pair since before the summer.Not exactly what I was after but I think its the best the UK can do.
LUSH!
I love LUSH,picked up a few bath bombsXD Butterball and Vanilla Fountain and also the new Lip scrub.
Sometime last month I wondered where I could find a lip exfoliator as during the winter my lips become dry and no amount of balm would get rid of the flaky bits(eww)
Anywho I think I love this stuff!It smells like After eights and makes my lips so soft!I didn't much fancy the other varieties~ chocolate (I think) and Bubblegum, which smelt more like Quality Street Chocolates and horrible sickly sweetness.
And finally I ended up at the MAC counter but only came away with this..
I originally wanted Tempting but decided I liked Sable more:)I'm still saving for some NARS,got my eye on a duo and the Orgasm blush,so no more MAC for a while.
and then a photo of Sable added to the rest of my MAC eyeshadow collection.(NOTE:I didn't buy ALL these this week,this is just my eyeshadows so far)
Not much of a collection really though my current favourites are Crimsonette(the burgundy colour) , Panamonium Eye palette and sable now:D
Oh and my shopping service Package arrived so I'll post about that next time,with co-ordinates XD

JELLY03/2010 and some River Island current lusts
NOTE:My blog layouts changed,I'm making a new one as I didn't feel the old one represented my interest and style inspirations anymore:)
I've also changed back to using my actual name rather than "Lanna" since I never really liked it (no idea why I used it then)and a apology for any bad spellings you may find in my posts,I am dyslexic so I religiously proof read but sometimes they get past me.
Also the comment about Candydoll powder~I will put a review up soon,waiting on a better camera before I do:)
So I woke up on Saturday to find my JELLY magazine had arrived XD It was my 1st time actually buying it as I usually look at downloads.The last magazine I brought was Egg way back in the summer,while I still like the old mags I'd previously brought(Egg,Popteen and Ranzuki) I don't really have the urge to buy them any more as I don't really dress in those styles and I tend to get abit overwhelmed by all the different styles and thus decided to stick with one or two .
So I currently like rock and girly(?) styles:)The brands I find I like the most are Gilfy,Gladnews,Delye and recently wc.
Few Photos
This made me think of the post by Mitsu and Bloomzy recently about gyaru hair colours.
River Island
I love RI, I could easily spend a sizable chunk of my wages in there.I was browsing there on Saturday (after receiving my mag) and I thought that a far few pieces kinda strike me as items you might find in JELLY.
Anyways these are my current lusts,plus about 5/6 more items that aren't on their website:O
And not from RI
I kinda want this hat!I keep seeing them around and it looks cute on Nori
I say "kinda" because I worry it would look silly on me and I also worry I wouldn't wear it if I did buy it.
Thoughts please?
Like? or Hate it?

Back from my weekend
So my weekend in Leicester went as planned,lots of catching up,good food and seeing the bf XD
I managed to resist the lures of the MAC counter but sadly didn't find any clothes I liked in any of the shops I visited:(
I did come back with this thou....
I already had the grey one but regretted not buying the black one at the time.
Monday I stop by Sally's after work to get some China glaze varnish to stop my nails for splitting.
I'm aware its a sign of B vit deficiency and have started taking my supplements again,so hopefully that combined with the varnish will help my nails.
In the evening I went to see The Book of Eli with a few friends,I have to admit I didn't actually know what this film was about when I agreed to go.I liked it though.
This weekend my friend is having a themed bday party(I dislike themed parties)it was originally chap/chappette/40s style theme but then got changed to steampunk which doesn't interest me at all and I have zero clothing for it .So I'm sticking with the original and doing a Dita inspired look,got the make up down just need to perfect the hair:)
My orders been shipped,so i'll be expecting that in the next couple of weeksXD
Still no camera,Im debating which one to get...do I get the awesome one I've been lusting after for months that I probabley don't really need or just one that good but isn't as awesome as the other one.....oh the dilemmas
The "awesome" lumix Im lusting after ...there's no current contender for the "just one thats good but isn't awesome"camera option,any suggestions would be greatly appreciated:D
TOT Its offical,I have been hit with the winter blues:( If Im honest Im proberly due a low mood recently seeing as I'm hardly ever low.Still it isn't fun,feeling like crap and fail! and a lack of a decent camera doesn't help:(
I also can't spell at the moment ,my spelling usually crappy but today its really gotten rubbish:(

update and IN and Out 3
Soo its been a busy weekend,I moved bedrooms yesterday,after a lick of paint,some organising and ruthless binning ,all of my belongings are in a home in my new bigger room:)
I'll post pics when its completed.
I completely forgot to post about something.
Months and months ago I posted asking about shopping services and recently after decideing for my resolution to only buy clothing I really like and know I will wear, I made a purchase:O
Its exciting checking my order status, sad I know but I've never brought any clothing using a shopping service before XD
So on to my INs and OUTs for this week:)
IN
NYX
I'm mostly meaning the palettes I got recently but the other NYX products I've got are really good as well. The palettes thou are awesome, I’m especially loving my #3champagne and caviar one this week which is filled with a lovely selection of browns and neutrals. The quality of the shadows is wonderful, their pigmented and silky XD and to top it off the price is good.
Two palettes for around £13 including p+p~here
Maybelline colossal Mascara
I tend not to buy a lot of western cosmetic because the adverts they make annoy me, you know the ones with the small print saying "filmed with lash inserts" or "Some natural hair extensions used" personally I think if the products actually do what they advertise to then why use the lash inserts or extensions. Thus I conclude they must not work like they claim and I don't waste my money!
However I don't write products entirely off ,I just research a lot before I buy.
Anyways this mascara has replaced my Déjà vu Fiber wig which I brought to replace my Majolica Majorca extend elegantly(which I intend to repurchase).
My fiber wig has been annoying me recently, while you can get great length with it ,its a bit timely to do so and its not as black as I would like for my mascara to be. Whereas colossal gives my lashes volume and really makes my lashes stand out.
My only annoyance with it is that I don't own the waterproof version, not that I've had mascara running down my face in the day or anything its just personal preference that my mascaras are waterproof:)
Homeopathy
Bit of an odd one I know, but I was so impressed I had to write about it.
While I'm not really a passionate believer in alternate therapies I don't disbelieve either.
However the last year or so one of my cats has been ill, the vet thought it was arthritis or epilepsy and all the meds she gave made him a little better but didn't cure him and he ended up chubby and unhappy:(
After watching his "fits" I realised they looked more like pain spasms and seem to be originating from his lower back, which was confirmed by him spasming every time anyone even put their hand over that area. He was so bad we even thought we'd have to put him down!
So I decided to treat him with homeopathy seeing as nothing the vet prescribed really worked .....month down the line....he's fine. Absolutely fine! its bizarre, I’ve been giving him Hypericum for nerve damage and he’s like a brand new cat!
Good conversation with good people
Awww almost sickening but isn't it wonderful to have a fantastic convo with an interesting fun person !! I mention it as today I went for coffee with an old friend of mine ,every time I see him we always have such interesting and in depth convos but talk about silly things as well i.e. his disaster plans he made for work which included what they'd do if zombies attacked...ehhh:S I wish I'd been there when his boss read that!
OUT
My lack of a decent camera!!!! Its beginning to frustrate me a lot, I'll have a blog entry in mind and try to take some decent pictures for it and usually give up as the quality is never how it looks in real life. I know "A bad workman always blames his tools" but I swear it just doesn't look the same!!
I had plans recently to post an eyeliner tips post /possible a tutorial ,I've taken the photos and while they don't look awful they don't look nearly as crisp or vibrant as it does in real life. AHhhhhhh frustrating!!
I'll post pics when its completed.
