In Love With Fashion Sale Picks I gave up on BeautySets for a while as I just found the whole process a bit clunky, but when I discovered you could now create fashion sets I thought the latest ILWF blogger challenge was the ideal time to give it another try. The best improvement to BeautySets … Continue reading

*UPDATED* as of 31/10/13 Being the cool kid I am I’ve spent the first half of the bank holiday weekend getting our house neat and tidy. I’ve even finally tackled the mess that was my make up stash which is great news for me as I can now find everything easily and even greater news … Continue reading
I’m forever lusting over the stunning nail art some of my fellow beauty blogger manage to achieve and wishing I could replicate them. Unfortunately no matter how detailed the tutorial I just never manage to recreate their beautiful designs as I’m just so mal-coordinated when it comes to painting my nails that I only just … Continue reading

Having sussed out my local MAC counter was one of the only ones left with all the Strength collection lipsticks in stock I hot footed it there for a spot of light swatching. I’d had my eye on Pink Pigeon and Party Parrot and fully expected they would be joining my already bursting collection of … Continue reading
When it comes to style I like to think I’m an eclectic mix of retro and modern which is why I’m such a fan of Cath Kidston and her modern twist on classic designs. I am obsessed with retro prints and polka dots, and have been hugely inspired by Cath Kidston prints when designing my … Continue reading
So I may have had a sneaky second haul in Topshop. This time I picked up the Up in the Air blush duo and the eye cream duo in Wave Machine, both from the Louise Gray for Topshop collection. Up until now I haven’t been that interested in any of the make-up offerings from Topshop, but … Continue reading
It’s no secret that I’m a HUGE fan of MUA. Every product they make seems to be such high quality and still they manage to keep their prices purse-friendly. At just £1 each it’s a surprise I haven’t snapped up all 16 shades, but amazingly I’ve resisted…for now! I’m sure there have been plenty of … Continue reading
So…. I know I was meant to be saving til payday but I just couldn’t help myself when I spotted these goodies in Topshop. I’ve wanted to try SteamCream for a while but have always been put off by the price, particularly when I was really buying it for the pretty tin. At £3 though … Continue reading

In case you’ve missed the constant mentions, our wedding is now less than a year away. With this in mind I’ve popped a few bits and bobs up on eBay and will probably continue to upload things over the next few weeks. If you like Topshop, H&M, Urban Outfitters and Roxy to mention a few … Continue reading
With less than a year to go until the big day I’m suddenly panicking about all the “it can wait” tasks I’ve pushed to one side during our wedding planning. Which is why I find myself looking at summer dresses in the throes of Autumn and also why I’m shunning the grey skies that Autumn … Continue reading
Does anyone else feel like time is getting away from them at the moment? In the past week I was meant to email two wedding suppliers, list a mass of items on ebay, reformat all my blog images for the new layout and write some new content for the blog. Do you know how much … Continue reading
Last night I joined the iFABBO and BlogTrends twitter chat on how to grow your blog readership. For upcoming bloggers I think events such as last night’s are crucial, not only for giving sound advice on blogging but also for networking with fellow bloggers. One of the key discussion points was guest blogging. Personally I … Continue reading
A few weeks ago I met the lovely Emma of Boom Nails in the Virgin Media Louder Lounge at V Festival and was lucky enough to nab an appointment.
