Colour Blocking

I love nail polish. (No kidding!). There's something weirdly addictive about seeing rows and rows of bottles all lined up *Grown Up Sweets Face*. I can't even get my head around the fact that a few short years ago I only ever painted my nails, week in, week out, in Essie's 'Adore-A-Ball'. And that was it. What was I thinking? Since then, me, and just about everyone else in the whole wide world have embraced colour. And nail art. And special effects. Almost to the point where a sheer neutral nail is starting to look fresh. I don't think I'm quite ready to return to 'The French' just yet, and so, in honour of colour I thought I'd just share a few piccies of my most worn shades. I've seen some pretty inspiring nail polish posts about recently, and whilst this isn't the most inventive way to showcase some of my collection, hopefully you can still get a nice sneaky peek into my faves. Tons of my bottles seem to have mysteriously gone M.I.A. (I blame my sister, of course!!) but whilst they're on the AWOL list let's do a run through what I've actually managed to snap (deep breath!).

Rimmel (from left to right): Sky High, Blue Eyed Girl, Too Cool To Tango, Round And Round The Garden, At Ease, Caramel Cupcake, Little Bo Peep, Mary Mary Quite Contrary, Ring A Ring O' Roses, How Do You Lilac It.

Essie (from left to right): Turquoise And Caicos, Mojito Madness, Stylenomics, Bobbing For Baubles, Mesmerised, Butler Please, No More Film, Recessionista, Secret Stash, Don't Sweater It, Miss Fancy Pants, Chinchilly, Blanc.

Do you have any of these in your collection? Which are your faves? Shout me a holler :) Have a lovely colourful weekend, catch you soon x

Good Friday

Here's a lil mash-up of hauls, nails and randoms that I thought I'd just share. Stupidly (and somewhat typically) I decided to buy loads of things right before payday. Brainiac? Not me. Restrained? Nope, not that either. But anyway, let's dive the hell in :)

Firstly- this insane amazing incred Topshop jumper. I just had to have this in my life. It's a bit JW Anderson I reckon, and ...well, not cheap at £40. However, WHAT.A.BEAUT.

Secondly- I went for these leopard print trousers in Zara. BUT...my heart sank yesterday when I saw Billie from TOWIE wearing the very same. God I wish that lot would step away from Zara, like, now. I know it's inevitable that you're gonna see everyone wearing the same things as you if you shop in the biggest most successful fashion chain in the world...but still....THEM....anyone but them.

Thirdly- how difficult is it to not love black and yellow as a combo? I went for these elephant print joggers (get yours here, and Holy Bank Accounts, if money were no object d'art I'd get the dungarees too). And, I got this lovely thin yellow knit to go with them.

Fourthly- I scooped up these daisy print jeans in Toppers too.....but you know the way changing-room mirrors always make you look thinner than you are? I think I might've fallen victim to that particular swizz having tried them on again at home. If however, you have a thigh-gap to rival Eleanor Calder get yours here. 

Fifthly- these heels were a must-have as far as I'm concerned...how good is H&M's shoe-game right now? If you don't mind a plastic sandal (and I don't) then deffo consider these.

Sixthly- I thought I'd just flash you my leather-look nails (soz about my veiny wrinkly auld hands). I'm cray for textured nails right now, and currently lusting after a Nails Inc 'Cement' polish too.

Also, I swiped these Gap printed loafers for like, silly money...I'm super-happy with 'em.

And finally....just a lil' snap of an OOTD. My sister saw me in this and said "You look like Louis!". Thankfully, she meant Tomlinson, not Walsh :) I was bursting with pride, as basically, I try and dress like 1D as much as is humanly possible. Incidentally, FML...where was Harry on Monday night? here, that's where. Where was I? Two minutes away, drinking green tea, sitting on the floor, watching Made In Chelsea. One day I will see him in the High Street, and my life will be complete :)

Have a gorge weekend xx

All These Little Things

It's the little things that make you happy, isn't it? Like swiping a pair of printed troosers for £7.50 off H&M's Spring discount rail. Yep, these blue & white beauts were half price. I know, silly not to. So I did. And well, a shopaholic's work is never done....so I also bought a nice pair of skater pumps while I was doing the rounds in River Island. 

I'm having a little moment with printed cropped jackets too, I have to confess, so I decided to take the plunge with this kinda Aztecky print one. Hopefully if I get some time I'll be able to shoot it outside and show it off in all its glory. 

Also, I've actually found a pair of boyfriend jeans I'm happy with- they've got- a good amount of slouch (check), a good amount of rips (check), a good amount of fade (check)...and a Size 2/6 fits nicely (yay!). 

Plus, Company magazine is a must have innit? I'm such a magazine head it's untrue. I have to read one every night, right before going to sleep to give me sweet dreams of clothes & bags & shoes. (By the way, how different does Leigh Lezark look with blonde hair? I had to do a double-take, fo' shure).

And finally, I've got a Leather Effect nail polish in my life. Woo! I love the look, but have to say it deffo chips like a bad bitch. Also, I decided to give a CC cream a whirl. If you're familiar with the 'Nude Magique' range you'll know about the way it just transforms on your skin super-fast from white (in the original formula) or green (in the case of this CC version) to 'skin-colour'. Love that shizz :) I'm not sure if I'm entirely ready to send my 'Face Finity' to make-up heaven just yet though! Much love, catch you soon xx
