Saturdays Offerings

Chunky Hologram Sandals - Primark

Gem Necklace - Topshop

Floral Kimono - New Look

First let me start this post with some advice. Don't EVER go to Lakeside on a Saturday - I may have scored myself some beautiful bits, but the hell that I incurred was just ridiculous. So yeah anyway, a few weeks ago I was at a loose end on a Saturday so I went for a little afternoon shop. I'd wanted some chunky sandals like these and I saw the Holographic ones on Instagram so I had my mind set on finding them! I went into Primark, they had one pair left in the entire shop and they were my size which was amazing! They had a few grubby marks on the heel and when I asked if they had anymore the manager said they didn't but she would take a couple of pounds off - so they only cost me £12. And the heels cleaned up with a baby wipe - wooo! The necklace and kimono were really just unnecessary impulse buys, but kimomos are so easy to just throw on and look pretty nice and I wore the necklace with a simple black smart tee for my boys mums birthday meal and got lots of compliments,and it only cost me £5.50. I recently saw a preview of Primarks AW14 collection and I've got to say I'm impressed, There are definitey a few things I'm gunna try and get my hands on! I think a lot of it will be in the shops from August onwards. Im already looking forward to purchasing some A/W bits.

Hot Right Now

L-R; Peach Sherbert, Bright Pink, Blooboo, Banana Split & Northern Lights.

Sunshine and summertime vibes means pretty nail polish shades are a must. Here are my favourite 5 Hot Right Now nail polishes. Meaning essentially my top 5, most worn nail polishes of the moment.

Models Own - Peach Sherbert

A pastel peach/coral shade, perfect for Spring & Summer. I really like this because its a nice alternative to the classic pink, blue and yellow pastel nail polishes. I've been buying this shade for maybe 3 or 4 years now and its a classic and favourite in my collection.

Barry M - Bright Pink

This is the only non- Models Own shade from my favourites of the moment. This has actually always been a favourite of mine. I have purchased this repeatedly over the years. As the name states its a bright pink, very wearable all year round really and applys nicely. This is a great colour and polish for ombre and tie-dye nails.

Models Own - Blooboo

This shade I tried desperately to get my hands on for ages, I even had my friends 

& family checking all Boots stores and Bottle Shops for me too. In the end I got it online during the Models Own 50% sale earlier this year. I think maybe its a web exclusive? You cant tell from the pictures but its not just a pale blue. It has tiny tiny glittery metallic flecks running through it, which shimmer in certain light! Very Mermaidy - I love this one!

Models Own - Banana Split 

I think during the summer months a good yellow nail polish is a must, for all over colour or just for nail art details. I tend to stray away from bright yellows after a staining incident a few years ago which really put me off, but luckily this one doesn't have that problem. I love this colour and I've repurchased it a few times now.

Models Own - Nothern Lights

I remember when the Wonderland collection came out , I was in Boots trying to decide which 3 I was going to buy. This was one of the 3 and ever since its had a firm place in my favourites. Its not like a regular glitter nail polish because its so concentrated. Its got a holographic feels to it , which I think is probably why its soo nice!

Have you tried any of these nail polishes? Which are your favourite brands and shades of nail polishes at the moment?

July Be Mine..?

Gogo Philip Heavy Linked Curb Chain - £40 

Moschino Leather Bag - £789

Topshop RABBITT Faux Fur heels - £58

Gogo Philip Big Leaf Earrings - £20

Julys wishlist is a small one, but a bit pricey!! This Moschino bag is absolutely beautiful!!! I'd LOVE one...maybe something to save for, for a big treat haha!! The Topshop Faux Fur shoes are sooo cute, They're £58 But I think theres definitely some inspo for myself to come up with a cheaper alternative, as this shape shoe is everywhere right now! Maybe a little DIY project I think!? The Chain is the necklace version of the bracelet I got for my Birthday last year and is along with the earrings, one of many in a big long list of things I want from Gogo. Is there anything similar on your July Wishlist!?

Little Black Bag

 The Cerys Shoulder Bag in Black -DSUK C/o LYDC

 I was recently sent this Cerys Shoulder Bag in Black to review by LYDC. Its Simple Faux Leather bag with a Faux suede tassel , adjustable shoulder strap and gold hardware. Its the perfect simple black bag that will go with almost any outfit. I actually took it out with me Saturday for a night out in Shorditch. The main compartent is fully lined and has a zip pocket  which was perfect for keeping my train ticket safe and easily accessable. I dont usually go for anything too plain as far as bags are concerned but I really do like this one, definitely a welcome member to my bag collection. LYDC offer a big range of reasonably prices bags, clothes and accessories- so definitely check out their website. TOWIES Sam Faiers was recently spotted with their Harlsden Pink Holographic Mini Satchel. This bag is priced at £27 which I think is a great price for a bag of this quality. I'll definitely be looking there for bags in the future.

Cheap Thrills & Frills

 Knicks - £2 Each

Bracelet - £3.50

Earrings - £5.50

JuJu Chelsea Boots - £12

Socks - £2 Each

Some of my favourite times are when Topshop have their sales. This time round I haven't gone too mad as it hasn't been payday yet, but I have snapped up a few cute things - some of which I'd been wanting for a while. I love Topshop character knickers, mainly just for wearing on days when I'm chilling indoors and at night, when goodlooking undies are not essential. I think the Angelica ones are amazingggg! The bracelet and earrings are both bits I'd wanted for agesss, so to get them at a snip of the original price made me very happy. The boots are actually JUJU , which I got for £12 ( They're still £25 on ASOS?!) they'll be a great back up shoe for if it rains on any festival days - and they're much prettier than normal wellies. Lastly the socks are pretty self explanatory arent they?! - and you know how I love a pretty sock..£2 a pair , lovely jubbly. Have you bought anything from the Topshop Sale?

June Be Mine?

Benefit Benebalm Tinted Lip Balm  - £14.50

Jeffery Campbell Skully White - £145

River Island Blue Geometric Longline Kimono - £50 

Love Rocks XL Chain - £25

Topshop Lois 90's Sunglasses - £16

Klear Klutch Parental Advisory Clutch - £60

These are the absolutely beautiful items on my June wishlist. I would love all these things, to have on their own or to wear as an outfit. This kimono reminds of the television test screens...If anyone has the faintest idea what I'm on about? This a very Summer ready outfit..maybe with white skinny jeans and a simple white vest for a summer evening in the sun :) Klear Klutches are pretty new on the scene, they have some amazing designs..I think this one is definitely my favourite!! Although this is a pretty dressy outfit I've put together, Im definitely considering this Kimono for a festival coming up and I think it could cope with a dressed down more casual vibe. Do you have anything similar on your June Wishlist?

Not Nike - Not Right.

 Nike Internationalists - £67

I've always been a massive fan of Nike, from Dunks,110's, Airforce 1's & Airmax 90's since I was about 10 to present day. I think I prefer Nike above all over trainer brands as there's such a diverse range of styles and colours...and classics that will be in forever. When I was in secondary school I had loads of Airforce 1's and last year I bought a new pair of all whites... They will literally never be out of fashion in my eyes. Anyway I was after the grey patterned RosheRuns but they were sold everywhere in my size.. then I came across these and thought they looked pretty  beautiful.. I ordered them and was secretely hoping when they turned up that I wouldnt like them. But I do - I love them they' re soo pretty and they're sooo comfortable. Im even glad the RosheRuns were all out of stock now as I think these are even better.. I think these are going to be very wearable, they go with anything and everything. Ive seen some that are allover pink too which are realllyyyy nice, but despite loving pink I dont wear alot of it.. What do you think? Whats your favourite trainer brand?

Olive & Coconut

 Barry M Gelly Shine Olive & Coconut - £3.99 Each*

In my recent haul post I showed you these two new polishes I'd bought from the Gelly Shine range by Barry M. Its no secret that I'm pretty in love with the whole range and I definitely approve of the new colours that have been released this season. In all honesty, I'm not sure how well Olive suits my skintone but it is a lovely khaki/olive tone that will be useful to me for camo inspired nails. Coconut on the other hand I adore, Since forever I've been looking for an off white/cream nail polish - that is of a good quality i.e no streaks!! This is it! For a pretty much all whitebased nail polish, it applys perfectly. I love white nails but sometimes, I think bright white can just look a bit harsh...so this is a great one for nails that are essentially white, but not clinical. There are alot of deals on at the moment, I think Superdrug have 3for2 and Boots have 2 for £7, so definitely a good  time to buy them. Have you tried any of the newly released colours from the Barry M Gelly Shine collection?

Its been to sooo freakin sunny and nice.. well up until a few days ago anyway! As much as I enjoy the Winter , I have to admit I loved waking up and driving to work while the sun was shining and it still being out when I left to go home. Festival season has started and I'm planning to attend a few this Summer...So hopefully alot to look forward to. These are a few of the little nick-nacks I've been buying recently. My Nanny actually got me the turban!! How cute?? Its perfect for a quick updo..which when its hot is definitely the thing for me, I think I wanna try and get one of the little lemon wedge clutch bags to match!! Pineapples and other fruit are everywhere right now and I have a few things from last year that I plan on bringing back out this year, but these earrings are adorable for the fruit trend and a bargain!! I always want to buy sunglasses, I just think because there are soo many different shapes, colours and styles around.. I'm always in the frame of mind like " well I dont have any like these..." Does anyone else have that problem? Have you been buying anything similar recently?

UD Dupe

 Neutral/Rose Palette ( Naked 3 Dupe) - £3.48 TMart

I recently bought this palette from TMart which is based in the USA. I've been after a Naked 3 dupe ever since I got the w7 'In The Buff' palette which is a super close match to the colours in UD Naked 2. In all honesty when I purchased this, I didnt realise how much of a copy it would actually be..i.e packaging which is practically identical right down to the naming. I ordered from the TMart website and within 10 days it had been posted through my door, no delivery cost, I paid through paypal and it was £3.48 all in!! Absolute bargain. When you first start using it I think they smell a bit weird, you know that make up smell? But that's something that is momentary and I'm over it already. The pigments are pretty good and the quality of application and colour is always helped by a good primer anyway. My favourite shades from this are Burnout & Buzz. I think for £3.48 this is a ridiculous bargain not to be missed! Im soo into my neutral palettes and I'm always looking for more to add to my collection. Have you used this palette? Do you have any other neutral palettes you think I should try?

Printed Kimono - £14.99 H&M
Printed Aztec Cap - £7.99 New Look
Lazy Oaf X Garfield Socks - LAZY OAF £10

May May May , I cannot believe we are on the 5th Month already, in 3 weeks time we will be nearly half way through 2014! Eeek. This is my May Wishlist, theres a bit of a festival vibe creeping in here, but I like it. How cool is the Kimono and the hat that almost matches?? weird coincidence but if I had them both I'd definitely wear them together with waves and huge gold hoops. Im really still diggin pastel corals and pale pinks because they're girly but they're not too in your face. Its been a bit of a rainy miserable week but hopefully this week will be a bit brighter and nicer, get out in those short sleeves hehe! Whats on your May Wishlist, anything similar?

REVOLUTION

REVOLUTION Boots - £35* ASOS            

Happy Friday :) I just wanted to show you my new love, I got these boots about 2 weeks ago and I literally could'nt love them any more! In a wishlist I wrote a few Months ago I was lusting after a pair of boots by The Whitepepper, but they were just way too expensive. These are sooo similar to them, when I saw them I had to have them! I had a 25% discount code when I bought them too so I paid about £26 for them which is even better! If there was a perfect Summer boot... then to me these would be them! On the website it does say they're Pink, But I'd say they're more of a pastel Coral.  They fit perfectly and because they have a Black sole, they can even be worn with Black..which for me is a big plus as its one of my favourite clothing colours haha. My favourite way of wearing these is with double denim - Bleach wash skinny jeans and a light denim shirt ( dont shoot me). They also come in Black and in Mint Green..which are also beautiful! So yeh...If you're looking for a cute pastel boot for Spring/Summer I'd say you should definitely get yourself some of these!!

Rainbow

 Models Own Pink Veneer & White Light , NPW Rainbow Nail Art Pens.

When I first got the Models Own Hyper Gels you'll probably remember how much I told you I fell in love with Pink Veneer! Well this is still the case, I'm on my 2nd bottle now and still cant get enough of it. So this weekend I went for a simple Pink Veneer with the accented ring finger! I used the nail art pens to carefully draw on the rainbow to around 3/4 of the way down my bare unpainted nail., I then used White Light to make a fluffy cloud shape at the tip of my nail. When the white was dry I used tiny dabs of Pink Veneer for rosey cheeks. To draw on the tiny eyes and mouth I just used my Black Sharpie - I would normally use a Black nail art pen but the Sharpie was a quicker, mess free option this time! I love how these turned out, soo cute and pretty! I think whats really nice about this nail art too is the negative space on the accent nail. What do you think? Will you be trying this out?
P.S I made the Pom-Pom... Ehehehehehe
