...Nail Collection

Hiya! As you can see I've had a little blog make-over as I got a bit fed up with my old one and I felt as though it didn't look professional enough. So now I've decided on this which I'm reaaaally pleased with and love! What do you guys think? Anyway I thought I'd take a few snaps of my nail varnish collection to show you all as that's one thing you haven't all seen yet! For christmas I got this purple Gok Wan case which was full of his new smellies, such as shower gel, body butter which smell incredible! I don't usually keep them in the box as I end up putting them by the shower or on my dressing table (because it makes it look pretty haha). So I had this box to spare and wasn't so sure what to keep inside! Then I thought, I have an overflowing tiny basket full of nail varnishes which was getting all tattered and worn, so instead I thought I'd transfer them all into here :) and as you can see, most of my nail varnishes are pink, which I really need to sort out haha. I'm so glad I did because it's so easy now and it's also good for storage space too! I don't just keep nail varnishes inside, I also keep my Cath Kidston hand cream and scrub in there, as well as nail files too :) what do you all think?



...Monochrome

Hey girls! How are you? I went to meet my friend last night who I hadn't seen for a long time which was so nice! We went for dinner and drinks at TGI Fridays as it's one of my favourite places to eat because the food is just so yummy and the cocktails are lush! I didn't really know what to wear because it's freeeeeezing cold outside but in the resturaunt it's boiling! In the end I decided on my new Monochrome collar top from Boohoo (only £25) which I only got a couple of months ago and have hardly worn because I didn't have anything decent to really wear it with but I really like it, especially that the collar and the black trimmings are leather. Monochrome is a massive trend this season so I thought it would be perfect :) especially with my new black skinny jeans! I like wearing plain colours out like that, especially black and white because I think it's classy. I paired it with my brown suede high boots with studds on and some gold earrings, then obviously my leather jacket as I didn't want to freeze to death outside! What do you guys think of it? :)





Spring/Summer 2013 Make-Up Trends

I really want to keep up with the trends this year, especially for make-up as I'm always trying out new things and I love being experimental! I've gone with the hair trend too this season and that's a fringe which I'm really glad I've done! I don't wear masses of make-up because to be honest, I'm actually afraid to try out the new trends that come out because I don't ever think I'll suit them and I'd look strange with them haha. I never wear eye shadow, not even when I go out on the town and I really want to start doing that as that will bring out the colour of my eyes a bit more, it will also look nice now with my new fringe. I just need to know how to do it right. I've tried different colour lipsticks too and let's just say, I definitely know after experience what colours suit me and what ones don't! For example, red looks dreadful on me and dark colours do as well. I usually wear light pink or coral colours as I feel as though they suit me better :) I was looking on the VOGUE website on the beauty page and there are so many beautiful ones! Here are my favourite styles for S/S 2013 :)

 

Attention Grabbing Eyes - Chanel

Colour Pop - Giles

The Lower Lash Line - Diane von Furstenberg

Sixties - Marc Jacobs

 

I definitely want to try out some of these at some point! My favourite one definitely has to be the attention grabbing eyes by Chanel which I really want to try! Whats your favourite? Oh and one last thing, I went on an online shopping spree as I need some retail therapy and bought a new bag, jumper and leggings, when they arrive I will post them on here straight away and show you all! Literally can't wait for the little package to come in the post :)



...January Wishlist

Hey Guys! Been stuck in all day and couldn't get to work because we have so much snow yay! I physcially couldn't drive in it as it was too ridiclous so I had the day off to relax which was really nice. I love the snow, even though it is such an inconvenience it still looks pretty :). As you can see I've had a bit of a blog make over as I got bored of my previous background as I've had it so long, what do you think of the new one? :) I love to change it around and get artistic and I really like it and it also has my favourite colours! Anyway, I was browsing the internet the other day like you do, and I'm not sure if any of you have heard of it, but I've found a new clothing website called PrettyLittleThing, but I'm so glad I found it as I absolutely love it and the fashions are so up my street! The prices are also pretty average and surprisingly quite cheap which is sooo good and the sale items are also quite impressive. I know for a fact I'm going to end up spending a lot of money haha. You should definitely go and check it out if you haven't already!

Anyway, Topshop is still my favourite shop ever and nothing is ever going to change that, so here's a little wishlist of what I want this month with some of the 'new in' items.

 

Lace Playsuit, Oval Ring, Plaid Bracelet, Polka Dot Headband,  Flower Blouse, Denim shorts, Knitted Jumper, 86 Long Sleeved Jersey



...New Hair & Nails

Hey girls! In the previous post I was talking about getting my hair cut and getting a full fringe and dying it a little bit darker. Well her it is! :) I absolutely loooooooove it, I'm so happy with how it turned out as I was a bit worried as my hair is so thick and annoying and never goes how I want it. I love having a fringe, I haven't had one in years and I really fancied a change as I got bored with my normal hair. I also love having a fringe because I can style it in lots of different ways, I can curl my hair and still have the fringe, same with straightening it and even putting it up in a high pony tale with the fringe down! My hair sits quite nice naturally as well so luckily I don't have to style my fringe every day. Luckily I didn't have to pay to have my hair done as my mum is a hairdresser so I only put a tenner towards the hair colour and that's it yay! What do you guys think of it? Would love to know :)

I then thought, as I've had my hair done, I fancied changing my nails as well and having a bit of a pamper day :) I decided to get a bit more creative with my nails other than just painting them normally. Again, it's BarryM which is my favourite brand to use for nail varnish, it's a peach colour and then I thought I'd add the gold glitter to paint over the top to make it a look a little more girly and sparkly. I didn't want to have winter nails because I like to think about Spring when we're in January (even though it's stupidly cold) and I think they turned out quite well :) Once I get a new job and things, I'm also thinking about getting fake acrylic nails as I really like them. I obviously won't get the ridiculously massive chavvy ones, I'd get nice ones where I can keep them on but just paint them myself, has anybody had acyrlics? If so are they any good? :)



...Perfume Review

Hey lovelies! How is everyone? Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days, I've been busy working and in the evenings I've been spending time with my boyfriend and looking at holidays, exciting! :) I've also been discussing hair styles with my mum (as she's a hairdreser), I'm getting a full fringe!!! Eeeeeeep, way too excited, I'm having my hair cut and coloured today so I will post a photograph of my hair and post about it and show you all! Fingers crossed it doesn't go wrong! I'm so excited :) Anyway as I have a day off today, I thought I'd post a review on the two perfumes I got for christmas, I love them both they smell absolutely amazing and are so fresh! I got two different types of perfumes, one from my mum and one from my boyfriends mum and I can never decide which one I want to wear are they're both so lovely!

This is the perfume my boyfriends mum got me from The Body Shop, called Moroccan Rose with a matching shower gel as well which both smell divine! Considering it's not a really expensive perfume or brand, the scent lasts the whole day and I don't have to keep re applying it which is amazing! I especially love how I have a matching shower gel because if I'm just lazing indoors all day and don't wear any perfume, I still smell of Moroccan Rose :) As I got two perfumes, this is the one I wear during the day doing everyday things, such as going to work, shopping and seeing the boyfriend etc as I save the expensive perfume for nights out and special occassions. I know for a fact this perfume isn't going to last long because I love it sooo much, and may have to pop into The Body Shop and purchase another one when it runs out! I definitely recommend this if you like quite a sweet, girly, fresh scent which isn't too strong.





All you bloggers might definitely recognise this perfume! The most famous, DOT by Marc Jacobs. I specifically put this on my christmas list because I'm such a big fan of his perfumes! I've previously had Daisy which I love and always run out of so this year I thought I'd try something different and I'm SO glad I did. It's kinda weird because I asked for it even though I didn't know what it smelt like, I just thought the box and the bottle looked pretty (I always seem to do that) and I also thought, I've never smelt a horrible Marc Jacbos perfume anyway so what have I got to lose! My mum got me this one, and it's only the small bottle because they're so pricey which I completely understand :) As you can see by the photo, I've used a little bit of it so far because I really want to save it for special occassions and things. It's such a good perfume and for the price it is, I don't want to waste it and wear it everyday and it being gone in a couple of months! It also looks pretty on my dressing table, I love the designs of his bottles I think they're so quirky as well :) Overall though, I definitely recommend this perfume to ANYONE who is looking for a decent one that lasts a long time but smells amazing. It's quite a strong scent and you don't need to spray loads on because only a couple of sprays does the trick which is fantastic :)

 Is there any perfumes that you girls recommend or like? :)





...Motel Rocks Sale

Hey girls! How's everyone? Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days, been really busy working, had a job interview and it's all been quite mad and this hasn't really been my main priority. The interview was for a manager position at Sole Trader, which is what I mentioned in my previous post and I cannot believe they even considered my application! I mean, manager of a store!? WHOAH. I have another interview as they do 2 for the manager position which is going to be quite scary as it's with the area manager, but fingers crossed I get the job!
