Dior


This is my favourite lipstick of all time- Dior Addict Extreme! I'm a sucker for Dior, I love everything and anything from Christian Dior! This lipstick is no exception. My lovely boyfriend got me this for Christmas, (I did have to choose it as the wrong colour could be disastrous!! I don't think he realised it could take so long to choose between 3 different pink lipsticks but i think its safe to say i made the right decision!) This is ‘Plaza’ and with my blonde hair i think it goes perfectly. This lipstick feels so good when you put it on, its so soft it feels like its moisturising your lips as well as looking amazing! It stays on for a good morning too before having to reapply which i think is pretty good going for a lipstick. You can also change the brightness depending how much you put on, i tend to just put the one coat on during the week for work but when i go on a night out i like to apply about 3 layers to make it really stand out. its such a versatile lipstick and i feel a million dollars when i wear it!! I even love the case, so sophisticated and elegant. 






Caviar Nails


I'm forever changing my nail varnish, if i dont have any colour on my nails I feel naked! I think I have tried and tested every colour/pattern and nail art foil stickers in the past so when the new 'caviar' nails came out i couldnt resist. Now the Ciate cavier nail polish is the must have for this trend but at £18 a pot i thought this was a little extravagant so i was delighted when i came across this accessorize version for just £4!! For this you got a lovely pink base colour and you could choose from 2 coloured beads, Lilac Sorbet (pinks and purples) or Stardom (blues and silvers). I went for the lilac sorbet because it sounded so cute and i prefer pinky colours on my nails over blue! I must say the instructions looked pretty straight forward, apply 2 layers of the base coat and before the 2nd layer has time to dry pour over the small 'caviar' beads. With only an hour before my boyfriend got home from work and heading out for dinner for the night i thought it would be perfect timing to get my nails done.
It all went well and was so easy to apply! i had a little pot underneath the beads so that when they overflowed i could then pour them back into the pot to use again. However, I would say that they don't mention a top coat in the instructions but i did put a clear nail varnish over the top as it didnt feel right leaving them as they were. I would definitely recommend doing this to give them an extra bit of staying power!
The nails looked great, although i did feel a bit like a fab ice lolly! However, within 24hours half of the beads had fallen off and they started to look very shabby very quickly! The beads had come off leaving half the pink undercoat on my nails chipped off so I had to get the nail varnish remover out and get the remainder off straight away!
All in all, a great look for an evening, but don't expect them to last any longer than that!!

Hair 'mare!!



I've been struggling to decide what to do to my hair as I feel like i need a change...but nothing too drastic as I like the length of it. I thought about changing the colour/style and after having a conversation with someone from work they came up with a great idea...
She happened to have a bag full of wigs in the back of her car (as you do!) so we decided to try them out...perfect idea for me to decide what colour i want to go...

Take a look and let me know what you think??

Nail's rock!!

This next post needs to be dedicated to my fabulous friend Frankie who gave me some amazing birthday presents!! I had a lovely Lipsy top, great necklace (if you haven't already been able to tell i love jewelry) and these amazing Nail Rock Designer Nail Wraps. I was a little apprehensive as i wasn't sure how easy they would be to apply and how long they would last but I have to say they were so easy to apply and looked great!! I put them on on Saturday and they are still here so we shall see how long they last...they say they last up to a week and with how easy they were to apply I can't wait to give them a go for my next night out!

There are so many different patterns I want to try, below are some of my faves...What's your favourite?? http://www.nailrock.com/
 



Summer sun...


Well, seeing as we don't seem to have had a Summer at all I was fed up of wearing dark clothes and jumpers so i treated myself to this amazing summer playsuit from Topshop.
I absolutely love it and it makes me feel so happy when I wear it! I teamed it with some amazing red heels to an engagement party and spread a little sunshine....

Perks of the job!!

As you may or may not know, I am Marketing Coordinator for a property developer and absolutely love my job! Some of the perks is I can get first dibs on some of the ex-show home furniture when it goes on sale. My bottom drawer is getting bigger (I think my mum's trying to tell me something!) and I have now taken up half of our garage with a fantastic dining table!! 
Check it out...
 I absolutely love the multi-coloured chairs and i even got all the matching cutlery and plates..and the fruit bowl in the middle!! It is amazing and I'm just counting down now until i can get the house for it!!! Fingers crossed that will be another big perk of my job...


I even got spoiled with an amazing Pandora charm from one of my Managers for doing the set up of a fantastic new show home in Plymouth at the old airport...

I absolutely love it and it really means a lot...another item I will be treasuring forever :)



Mulberry magic...




 During the time since i last posted i celebrated my 23rd birthday...I was spoilt rotten and had so many nice things. One of my presents was this amazing pink Mulberry bracelet with a little gold bear. It was from my parents... and Teddy..Get it??










I absolutely love it and know it is something I can treasure  forever! :) Next on my list is the Bayswater ...we'll see!!!!
