OOTD: Ayacon Ball

I recently had the pleasure of attending the Ayacon Ball in Stratford, London. Can I just say that I had an amazing time? I'm not sure what I expected but I can safely say that I didn't expect to have such a great time there. It was lovely seeing old and new faces and just catching up with some people who I haven't seen for the longest time! The music was great too; I have a soft spot for strings instruments and the quartet made me very, very happy.

I tried out a new style that I haven't tried before for the ball and I'm really pleased that I did. I felt like a princess. ♥


Dress: Priscilla Dawn
Bow: ASOS
Necklace: Jesus Diamante
Wrist Cuffs: Peacockalorum
Rings: LoveHeartTrinkets
Shoes: DreamV

My shoes actually broke on the way to the ball which was slightly upsetting. I also felt super self conscious on the way there but I got stopped by so many people and told that I looked beautiful which was flattering and gave me a boost in my self esteem. I've always heard stories of Londoners being really rude but they were nothing but charming, friendly and lovely towards me.


Stay sweet! ♥

London Adventures

Over the Easter weekend I decided to pay a visit to London to see some friends. I've only ever been to London in the past for Expos etc. so it's the first time I was really able to look around! I acted like such a tourist! I come from the North of the UK and London sometimes feels like a different country all together because the way things are done there are so different from how they are where I'm from.

It took four hours to get there by train because it was a Bank Holiday so I spent most of the time taking sefies and sleeping!



Full Outfit (unseen)
Dress: Lipsy
Shoes: New Look
Headband: New Look
Necklace: Chocomint
Ring: Chocomint
Actually one of my friends saw me on the train and didn't recognise me. They thought it was just someone who resembled me, oopsie daisy!

My ring actually broke. The crown fell off as I was walking around London and being amazed by how big everything was.

We actually went to an American Diner for food! It was really delicious but super duper packed full of people. We were lucky to get a seat when we did to be honest!

We also passed by Trafalgar Square.


Big Ben as seen from Trafalgar Square.


A big, blue chicken that was there for some reason!
The next day we decided to go to Japanese karaoke with friends.

Obligatory make-up selfie!


I forgot to take pictures because I was super excited about singing. I sang some Ayumi Hamasaki songs and also sang Utada Hikaru, LiSA and some others. One of my favourite memories was everyone singing along to My Soul, Your Beats!




The frog was from the Rainforest Cafe near Trocadero in London. The food there was so expensive! It was like £16 for a salad.

Because we were all too cheap to eat there we decided to go to Nandos instead. I haven't been there since I was 18 due to an illness I had and I was able to actually eat it again!


It's one of my friends and I whilst waiting for food. Aaah we cannot resist being camwhores!!

I left London the day after (Easter Sunday) because I wanted to go home and eat all of my chocolate eggs. Aaah not really but I felt bad intruding on my friends.

Overall I had fun and I already want to go to London again! It's so much fun there! There's so many stores to get so many new things and it honestly feels like a different country from the rest of the UK!

Instagram!

For an app that I didn't quite like at first I'm surprised at how much I use Instagram. It's sort of fun and some of the filters are really nice!

If you guys want to follow me, my username is claranee.


I painted my nails last week and over a week later they've only just started to chip. I'm impressed! They're not the neatest as I had to improvise with a dotting tool as mine never arrived in time and I had been wanting to do pink and white polka dots all week. I used... a Nintendo DS stylus instead hahaha.


My man came to visit me last weekend and we went to the beach. It was awful weather though when we got there so we only stayed there for an hour and left. This park is just opposite the fairground there, it's a HUGE park seriously.


We went back into town where it was sunny wtf. I tried this outfit on but in the end I didn't buy it. It reminded me a little too much of Tifa from Final Fantasy and I felt a little ridiculous. Plus it showed off too much tummy for me and I don't wanna have to constantly breathe in when wearing it haha.


Guess what I was doing yesterday~ (psst, the answer is reviews!). My lower lashes were being a pain to put on so in the end I gave up. Stupid annoying eyelashes.



Something that I noticed last week was that mini, a Japanese model, had finally released her debut album! I'm really, really excited because I had liked her singles and then apparently the album was cancelled, but in the end they released it. It's really good; I think some of you might like it!

Casual Post

Hello, gorgeous girls!

I'm back from my slightly extended hiatus and I'm super stoked to be back. Today is going to be a really easy post whilst I get back into the swing of things; just three snaps I've taken on my travels.







It's definitely not the most informative post I've done but I have a couple of nice treats lined up for you (including a rant post wtf!) If you want to follow my Instagram it's claranee, I'll be sure to follow you back!

I'll definitely blog about Kitacon; the little snap of myself as Princess Aurora up there can serve as a teaser for you guys.

See you later!

Random Pictures: Volume 1

Hi guys!

Nothing too serious today; let's have a look at some random photos I've snapped so that they can stop taking up space on my hard drive. :D If you follow me on Twitter you've most likely seen a whole bunch of these.



Not my flowers. I wish they were though. Someone needs to buy me flowers.



Clothes from Lipsy~ I love this blouse and although these aren't the shorts I wanted, they were very similar! These are lace shorts; the shorts I wanted weren't lace. I can't wait to wear these!



Jeez guys I dunno, do you think they used enough stamps?



Mum made my nails look really smart for work. I think I'm gonna keep them looking like this for when I need a neutral nail type. They've grown so much since the Family Meal!



HAPPY APRIL, IT'S SO SPRINGTIME LIKE. Not.


Now we have some Instagram photos! I barely know how to use Instagram but my name is Claranee on there. Follow me if you want!



My Disneyland tickets! I still have these in my purse.



I was bored waiting for the bus home. I don't know why the bus is dark blue with flowers, I don't know about you but those two things don't go together.



Minnie-mops being the most sleepy dog in the world at my grandmothers. She's so cute!

I'll be back tomorrow with Blog of the Week! Tomorrow is Week 5 and I already have Week 6's blog picked out in advance. Look forward to it!
