And They Call It Puppy Love.

tTwo posts in one day....you lucky lucky things ;). This one is dedicated to a very special little lady, my puppy dog, Tilly! After all, a dog is a mans ( WOMANS) best friend, and my little pugpup is definitely mine! Tilly is a pug crossed with a jack russell and she is my favourite little furbaby!

We got Tilly just after my birthday in January 2012 when she was around 12 weeks old. I'd had a really difficult year with being quite poorly and was feeling really down, and that's when this mad little creature entered my life. I was never, ever allowed a dog as my mum likes being very tidy and so the answer was always 'No'. I always wanted a dog, and had my hopes set on a pug but my parents still said 'never'. However, one day I found a beautiful litter of 'Jugs' on the internet (at the place where my mums friend was getting her puppy from), that my parents agreed were simply gorgeous! We emailed about maybe going to see the puppies but were told they were all taken. This saddened me deeply as i'd never seen puppies like this. A week or so later my mums friend went to visit her new puppy at the place and that's when we got the best phone call ever.

"The breeder was going to keep the last puppy to breed from, but a lady begged and begged to have her, so she gave in. BUT SHE NEVER CAME FOR THE PUPPY! So if you want her, you can have her"

Oh. My. God.

My parents decided that having a dog would be a good thing for us all. So the Sunday after my birthday we went to see miracle pup, and could they resist the little lady....OF COURSE NOT! could you?

So we brought her home, she was so cuddly and loving and fitted in straight away!

She's a chubby little thing, but I guess I am too ;)! She's far from perfectly behaved..in fact she pinches everything in sight>

Despite being a cheeky little pug, and being a giddy thing, she is also as daft as a brush. She likes to snuggle up to everyone, be carried around like a baby, and pin you down and lick your face and ears! She's my sleeping partner, and I know she'll listen to me no matter what! She definitely doesn't care what I look like or what I'm rambling on about she'll sit and cuddle me. She comes and kisses me when i'm sad or lonely and greets me with the most of excitement when I get home!

THERE'S NOTHING BETTER THAN A PUG PUP!

I love my Tilly-bob, Miggles, Tigs, Cuddles, Pug, Fatpup, furbaby!

Hope you don't think i'm like a crazy dog lady, but I do love my fat pup!

Love you all lots

The things we do to make ourselves feel better...

My lovely bloggers, I'm sorry that it has been so long since I did my first post, but I am going to try super hard to blog more :)! Since the weather has turned dull and gloomy, that's exactly how i've been feeling about myself. Dull. I don't know if it's just me, but I get so bored with how I look and feel. Anyone else get like that? So what to change? HAIR! That's the one thing I try to change practically every month. Your hair can make you look like a completely different person, and that's what I love about it. I've been nearly every colour; Red, Pink, Purple, Blonde, Silver, Black, Brown, Dipdyed, ginger and i've grown bored of all of these.

So here are most my colours, and this reddy/brown bob is my current do!

I'M BORED GUYS! So what shall I do? I'm thinking of having mid brown roots with highlighted ends of caramels and blondes. A little like this >

I am also growing my hair out too :)

What do you all think though?

AND, what do you do to make yourselves feel better :)?

Love You Lots,

RubyMoomin

"..that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful fool”

Hello my lovelies,

This is my first ever blog so I do apologise if it isn't quite right(but how terribly exciting it all is!!)!!! Today has been a wonderful day. Firstly because the sun is shining!!! HOOOORAY! Secondly, my Tatty Devine parcel has arrived, which always makes a day so much better don't you think? I have also been listening to Baz Lurhmann's 'The Great Gatsby' soundtrack, which was what inspired me for my first blog! I urge everyone to see the film as it is spectacular in my opinion. My favourite track on the album is 'young and beautiful - Lana Del Ray', it is a stunningly haunting song. As I listened to Lana's beautiful voice, I started playing with my hair and makeup in an effort to bring the roaring 1920's into my look for the day! I hope I succeeded, but I guess you guys will be the judge of that!!!

Here are the photos of my first attempt :

 My hair was done with a cheap 1 inch curling iron and I curled all of my hair! I then brushed the curls out a little so they grouped together to form bigger curls. I backcombed my curls to give them more volume with a normal paddle brush! As my hair is in a long bob, I only needed a few kirby grips to grip the bottom layer of my hair underneath to make my hair look like a short 1920's bob!

 Smokey eyes were very popular in 1920's, however as I did mine for daytime I did them a little lighter and more subtle! I used a cheap black and shimmer eyeshadow for the smokey outer shading of my eye! blue's and green's were also popular for eye colours in the 20's so I used my MAC pigment in golden olive to give my eyes a bit more depth and colour! I used a cheap natural lipliner to keep my lipstick from bleeding and give my lips more volume! It was fashionable to create a bigger bow for you lips in the 20's, which would look great with this look, it just looks silly on me as i have no bow at all!!!

My lipstick is one of my favourite things living in my makeup bag!! It is part of Lush's Emotional Brilliance range and is called Decisive! It lasts literally all day without budging and I even manage to keep it on after eating and drinking!!! It is such a classic deep red! They do a big range of lip colours, cream eyeshadows and eyeliners, all in such striking colours! I have nearly all of them!

Headwear was popular for women in the 1920's so I added a cheap Primark headband I had to make my hair look even more 20's. (Any headband similar would look fab).

And that is my 1920's Great Gatsby themed look....let me know what you guys think :)!

The Gilbert and George Tatty range would look amazing with this look and I am desperate for the Gin brooch to finish off my look!!!













Here is the very exciting parcel I got through the post:

Tatty Devine is my all time favourite!!! They make such innovative jewellery which always receives so many compliments when you wear it. They're made from perspex and are handmade in England! You can't get better than that, and to top it off the team are amazing! I have never received better customer service than from the Tatty Devine team! ALL HAIL TATTY!!!

 Here is my little leopard brooch! He doesn't have a name yet but is going to look amazing on some of my shirts or cardigans! I got him in the sale for £15!!! You can get some incredible bargains at a Tatty Sale.

I'd also like to introduce you to my other new friend. He too doesn't have a name yet :( boo hoo! But i'm sure you'll agree he is an absolute cutie! This is from the Summer range at Tatty Devine and is a fairly longish necklace! ( Both pieces will appear worn in a later blog) Check out Tatty Devine now, but be warned....your bank balance will always take a hit, it's very addictive!




So my beautiful friends, that was my first blog. Thankyou so much for reading! Hope you enjoyed it, and will of course return to see what else i'm up to! Love to you all!
