first mani/pedi

After many years of painting my nails myself, I decided to get my first manicure/ Pedicure? Usually I do it myself on a Sunday night, with a little bit of pampering, removing and swishing on nail polish then applying Clingfilm to my feet after slathering Body lotion. I loved the whole pampering thing, the lady doing my manicure and pedicure at the same time was fabulous, it’s not as simple as painting your nails and shaping. It’s the little things that make the cost worth it, the foot spa which massages your feet while the lady is massaging your toes with your best girl friend next to you gabbling away.

After the shaping, filing and cutting of the cuticles, it was finally time for the painting of the nails. I chose a bright orange polish for my feet ( OPI Brights Power) and a lovely soft but rosy pink for my nails ( OPI dozen rosas). I instantly fell in love with the orange pop of colour. Overall the manicure lasted 3 days before chipping which is not a great amount of time but nail varnish doesn’t tend to stay on my nails for a long period. I think I will get manicures in the future, occasionally say around Christmas and Birthdays and maybe parties but it’s definitely a treat.

I adore OPI anyway so I would recommend it to everyone who does home mani/ pedis!! I will do a tutorial in the future about my clingfilm feet!

Teen choice awards.....

If i was going to the teen choice awards, i would wear this on the red carpet!

Standing Still

Although Fashion magazines, such as Vogue or Elle report new trends each month and the runway creates new trends.

Has Fashion actually moved on from a couple of years ago?

The Tunic, Gladiators, Skinny jeans and the volumous tops are still here to stay despite being popular for nearly two years!! Fashion seems to be stuck in a time warp, with no real hugely popular trend sticking like this lot!

Like the boot cut, the flare and the straight cut jeans, the skinny jean has become a modern day classic and is going to be hanging around for a while. Your thoughts?

Buys

Where all the blogging action happens...

I got this really cute knit in t.k maxx, i've been wanting a zebra print top for ages! It was orignally £95, which im not sure i would have paid that.

New Juicy Shorts! They are great in summer, i have a blue pair also. The colour is called lee and i bought them from ShopBop. New Juicy Pants, So cute and fun for lazing around! Abercrombie and Fitch hoodie! So cute and comfy although a little too warm for summer. Which i hope to wear like this^^ Ep " blaze of glory" season 2, the oc! Which is one of the best shows ever.

Just a quick hello! How cute do taylor and Leighton look on set of gossip girl.

When lights go down

It's 5am, I've been awake since 2:45am after falling asleep at 11:30pm. I'm incredibly itchy and swollen after eating curry and can't sleep.

So what did i decide to do?

Blog of course!!

All is good in the hood, finally shipped my "myus" order, so lots of goodies will be winging my way very soon. Not exactly fashion stuff, but some cute items never the less. An abercrombie hoodie, a pair of juicy pants and shorts, 27 dresses dvd, ipod armband for running! Which all should be here by Thursday!

Herve Leger

Am i the only one who is entranced by his dresses?

His bandage style dresses, seem to look fabulous on everyone, fitting tightly, showing of or enhancing curves.

Kim Kardashian is a huge lover of Herve dresses and is often seen wearing them on the red carpet, they fit her body shape perfectly, showing off her curves not hiding them!

How fabulous does Megan fox look in this pink number, a pair of open toed black louboutins would have looked far better than pointy gold heels which do not seem to go with the flow of the outfit.

Ignoring the fake boobs, fake tan and fake hair colour, isn't the dress Victoria Beckham wore to the Marc Jacobs show so amazing. I could see this dress looking darling on Rihanna.

Quote from Net-a- porter.com "Hervé Léger was a huge fashion hit in the '80s and pioneered the body-con look, which has returned to the fashion spotlight in recent seasons. The label was relaunched in 2007 with BCBG designer Max Azria at the helm. His designs are a modern interpretation of the signature bandage dress and have already earned a host of stylish celebrity fans including Kate Bosworth and Keira Knightley."

Personally I adore studs, although I don’t wear them often which is also the case with most jewellery. Although I should do, as they are a simple way of adding chic-ness to your outfit without overpowering it, which can happen with hoops or dangly earrings. I love the way studs can pull and outfit together or add a bit of style when running to the supermarket in sweats. They are all about having fun.

These super cute studs are from claire's and come in most letters. The best part is they are only $5.50.

Juicy Couture Studs for $52 which are pretty neat and will go with anything.

Forever 21's rose plastic earrings are ever so darling and will look great in summer. $3.20!

Holiday Hiatus

Ok again i've been lacking in blog posts, but whats a girl to do when she is super busy!! anyway I'm going on a mini mini holiday from sunday to wednesday or thursday! Sunny weather by the beach! Yay

hey oh! lets go!

Ok so i've been slacking this last month, but can you blame me? It's summer and i've been super busy. So I'm in desperate need of summer clothes, you may gasp at that but it's being typical british weather. Basically Summer in Britain is wet, cloudy and not that warm with the occasional burst of sun and heat.

Bummer right?

I've decided to bite the bullet and just buy some clothes, i also want some cute clothes for when i visit my cousins in devon, hopefully in two weeks time argh!

On my list is....

♡ Tanks, Tanks, Tanks, whether they are lacy or slogany, i need them!

♡ Tees

♡ Denim Shorts,

♡ Headbands

♡ Oh and jeans, as my ones are too big now YAY!

Don't flame me but i couldn't resist these juicy Shorts and pants for summer. They were in the sale.

ciao for now xxx

Back to school..... Make up

Sorry for the lack of updates, been super busy!

Back to school make up is crucial, light but noticeable is a must or go the opposite end of the spectrum and try funky bright colours. ( Did i just say funky?! eww)

My first piece of advice, which i'm sure you readers are sick of hearing about it and i know my family hate it too; WATER! Lots of it, it ensure your skin is well hydrated meaning clearer and healthier skin and it tastes great too.

Foundation:

There are many different types on the market at the moment which is great compared to 10 years ago. With foundations suited for clear skins or even bad skin and more colour choice, its hard to get it wrong nowadays. During school you will want a foundation that looks natural and just enhance your skin.

Clear-ish skin? Try a tinted moisturiser which will slightly even out your skin tone, personally i like Clinique's almost make up.

Blemishes?: Try a foundation with a medium to sheer coverage, try mac Hyper real or L'oreal's True Match.

Need a Medium to heavy coverage? Lots of blemishes, very uneven skin tone, try mac studio fix which provides a Medium to heavy coverage.

Remember to try them on in real life and in natural daylight as its very hard to get the right colour for your skin

Now onto the fun bit!

Personally for school, i think lipgloss is more suitable, it's fun,flirty and looks great. Lipgloss is essential in my everyday make up and often enough, my mom and i catch each other stealing the other one's lipglosses!

Its much easier to get it right with lipgloss than lipstick, i tend to stick to baby pinks and warmer pinks and tend to steer clear of blue undertone lipgloss. There is an exception to this as i adore MAC's oyster girl.

Top 5 Lipglosses

• Mac Lipglass - Pink Lemonade
• Mac Lipglass- Oyster girl
• Benefit her glossiness- didn't hear it from me
• Stila Lipglaze - Peppermint
• Lancome Juicy tube- Fraise

It's all about the eyes

Mascara can really open your eyes and always looks amazing, but of course everyone knows this. I like to use a thin line of liquid eyeliner on my top eyelid and a tiny bit in the bottom outer corner to finish my look.

Eyeshadow is rather tricky as it looks terrible if done wrong, so your best bet is to try different colours, try buying a pre-made pallete such as one of urban decay's so you get a feel of what looks good and what doesn't.

Urban decay's shadow box, 9 eyeshadows for $36! Brilliant and plus they have added a sample of the must have eye primer.
