Nail Love

Hi guys! I cannot believe that I haven't done a post in almost a month!:O Everything has just been so crazy recently and to be perfectly honest I have been slightly lazy....whoops! I  have a couple of things to talk about today and one of them being CHRISTMAS.

I am beyond excited now, it's chistmas eve eve and at this point I have literally like a child. I've always loved christmas and I don't think annything is going to change just because I get older. I will most definatly be 99 years old and still jumping up and down with excitement at the prospect of christmas:D 

Now today for the first time i'm actually going to review something! ooooooh exciting stuff:D My best mate got me this nail art kit thingy for christmas and when I first opened it was like a dream! I am a total nail freak, i LOVE LOVE LOVE painting my nails all kinds of different colours and so i was uber excited to use some of the gorgeous colours in this kit. With a total of 7 different shades, a clear coat and two 2 special effect coats which are just lush, PLUS a cute little nail file this whole set is just fab!

The different shades are:

Poppy, Vamp, Willow, Greige, Shadow, Jade & Orchid along with Iridescent and Silver Flake which are the special effect coats.

My definate fave out of all of these would have to be the greige, it is subtle but still gorgeous and great for wearing everyday, but I am super-excited to wear the bright Orchid for when I go out and in the summer, it is so bright and definatly stands out! I think the good thing about this set is that their are instructions which are good for first timers, as it tells you all the different combinations you can have etc, but for you guys that just love to experiment is is brilliant as well! I would love to tell you guys where this is from, and how much it was but i'm sad to say i don't know:( Being a christmas present I would feel abit rude asking the price, but i'll try to find out where it is from and let you know, because it's definatly worthy buying this set:D

Well guys I hope you have a fab christmas, eat lots, have fun and i'll probally post again in the new year!

ho ho ho time to get festive!

Hello people!:)

Well today i put the christmas decs up with my family and i am now feeling very festive indeed! It's slightly earlier than we would normally put them up, but the next couple of weeks are going to be mental so we thought why not do it today? Christmas is one of my favourite times of year, i love everything from the decorations, to the tree, to the food, christmas shopping and just spending time with my family. This year we decided to change out decorations slightly, and tried to go with a more old school feel, with vintage decorations like nutcrakers, candy canes and little wooden peices to hang on the tree, and i've gotta say i think it looks lovely. We've even brought paperchain, which i totally love! They remind me so much of my childhood, but sadley we haven't had any for years, so i am super excited to sit down one evening with the christmas album playing and start making them:D with only 24 days left till christmas i am getting more and more excited by the day, is anyone else this excited? or is it just me! haha, i swear i seem more excited than a child but hey ho, what can i say, i just love love love christmas!

put your hand in your pocket for Children In Need

Now i know this isn't the type of post i normally write, but i thought as it is indeed Children In Need tonight and it's a matter so close to my heart i thought i'd just share with you some of the things i've done to raise money and some of my views of it. Every year i watch CIN without fail and it's heartbreaking to watch people live in such bad conditions and such a wake up call to not just me, but alot of other people. You forget how much we take for granted, like food, clean clothes and even a safe warm house to live in, which is more than some children and families can say in the UK. I think it's disgusting how footballers and 'celebrities' can get pain hundreds of thousands of pounds when so much is needed to be paid for within our country to help people less fortuante than us. It's such a good thing to see that total on the giant screen say that as a country we have raised millions of pounds, and you've got to think it's worth it to see so many smiling faces of those dissadvantaged children? All week at my college has been charity week, with us doing various things like quiz night, dress up days and giant jenga, and all the money goes to a charity that we picke which is such a good cause. Did anyone else do anything for charity this week? So c'mon guys keep donating to help the poverty stricken parts of our country:)  Well i hope you guys have had a good day and have a great weekend!

Talk to you later m'lovelys!

cause every girl needs a pair of black pumps...

Eeeeekkkkkk! My new shoes arrived today after what seemed like an eternity of waiting (when in fact it was 3 days) and i could not wait to show them to you guys! I am so in love with them, and they fit perfectly which is a massive bonus:D Their from Urban Outfitters, and are black suede with a cute stiching round the side of the shoe, and you can lace them up a front which i really like, plus they are beyond comfortable!:) Now nomally i don't really shop in Urban Outfitters because it's kinda out of my price range, being a student and all, but every now and then i go on their website to check out the SALE section and that's where i came across these little beauties. Reduced from £32 these were a snatch at only £15! I was so happy, and have actually been on the lookout for a pair of black pumps for ages, since my old ones were worn to the point where i could see the bottom of my foot through the sole of the shoe! Not a good look..I love the fact these can be worn with absoloutly anything, and i will definatly get alot of wear out of them! Although i think i may have to keep them out of the way of rain because suede and water don't really mix!

Here's the link m'lovely's if any of you want to check them out on the website, i promise you won't be dissapointed!  xoxo

bring on the fancy dress

Oh I love fancy dress, it is bascially the best excuse to dress up in either a costume that makes you look like a complete fool, or wear something that you would never wear normally in a million years. So when my friend told me she was having a party and it was fancy dress I thought i'd go for option 2. Something I would never usually wear. So thinking long and hard about my options I decided to take a little trip down the fancy dress shop, something which I always find loads of fun!:D and I came across this cute little dress. Kinda 20's, and so when the kind lady in the shop told me it was the costume of a flapper, I was all over it like a rash! I love love love the old fashion type clothes, and a massive love for the 20's in particular. So paired with a load of beaded necklaces, black t-bar heels and a flower in my hair, I was totally ready to go and (however weird this sounds) I was feeling very old fashioned, and cool I must admitt! haha, even if i looked like a slight fool walking down the street; I got some VERY strange looks indeed:L I have to say this is right up there with my favourite fancy dress costumes of all time. Although nothing beats the Princess Jasmine costume in year 3 for Disney Character Day, that is and will always be my ultimate fave! So what about you guys? What's your favourite ever fancy dress costumes?

BO YOU COLD

Winter time, a time for christmas and snow and pretty decorations, the lovely food and warm fires whilst snuggling with a hot chocolate...and then you get that dreaded cold. The cold that you know you are going to get at some point. The one that knocks you for six and you feel like utter poo for days on end.Well bloggers, i have it well and truly!:( as my family dropped like flies it was only a matter of time until it reached me, and boy did it hit me hard. My life for my the past 2 days has been a sea of tissues and mugs of hot chocolate on tab. And boy does it suck. What are your ways of coping with a horrid cold? Mine are to whinge and moan as much as possible and spend the entire day watching re-runs on friends whilst snuggling in my pit.

Well as i go and whinge some more, whilst scoffing a hot bowl of hot mashed potatoe (which is the best comfort food EVERRRR!) i hope you all have a good day, and stay away from people coughing and spluttering!

Bonfire Night

Bonfire night, one of the best nights of the year i think! All the bright lights, the rides (not that i ever really go on them as i am a massive wimp) and the precesion. Just the whole atmosphere is great:D and being able to meet up with everyone and just basically have a brilliant time. Does anyone else love bonfire night as much as me? cause i swear i'm always the only person getting very excited! It's a shame that bonfire night is only once a year, they should really have them every few months in my opinion.
