Monday Amusements 11

I hope your Monday is treating you well! Mine has me ill for the second week in a row so I apologise for the shortness of this list!

As Google Reader is about to load its last I’ve been spring cleaning my RSS subscriptions and finding some new blogs to follow. It’s been a while since I’ve subscribed to any new (at least to me) fashion blogs and it’s been a lot of fun exploring new sites. I’ve scrolled through several pages of Undercover Dress-Up Lover, and my favourite post so far is Lolita without online shopping, even though I am too tall for a lolita dress, there are some amazing boots in that post that are actually still available in my size! I am doing all the online surveys the internet sends with the goal of being able to afford them.

I’ve also been catching up on The Girl Who Looks Like a Cake, I’ve loved her DIY: Make your own collar and A Guide to Fabric Shopping In London posts.

I’m obsessed with eyeliner tutorial videos. Here are my current favourites, which show how to achieve three quite different effects:

Cat-Eye Tutorial from Rookie on Vimeo.

A tip for the last one – if you find it impossible to do this with an eyeliner brush and eyeshadow – ie if you’re a contact lens wearer and can’t risk getting powder in your eye – try it with a pen eyeliner instead, I did today and it looks great!

Finally, Mad About Dachshunds is the Facebook page to like if you want your news feed to be filled with all manner of cute sausage dog things.
