Soap & Glory Addict

Image
Am I the biggest Soap & Glory fan ever? I just had to take these pictures of my current stash, when I realised the amount of products I had amassed. There are so many favourites in there and lots of new things I can't wait to try out. My staples are the heavenly Glow Lotion, Clean on Me shower gel, fantabulous Hand Food, Righteous Butter, Flake Away exfoliator and indulgent baths with Calm One, Calm All. Sexy Mother Pucker does wonders for my lips and I admit I've become slightly obsessed with its plumping, tingling sensation. I'm a complete convert to the luxurious Heel Genius and I can't rave enough for Hair Supply. For faking fresh and fabulous skin I use the totally unique Glow Job and my puffy eyes are banished with the cooling Supereyes, Supereyes.

Animal Madness

Image
I've recently become quite obsessed with animal themed jewellery. Aside from kitsch horse or unicorn stuff, I've never been all that interested in those snake bangles or tiger necklaces, however I've now developed quite an obsession and can't get enough of them! I love my unicorn shaped ring from Topshop and was gutted to miss out on this cute giraffe one they had on the site last week, I knew it would go quickly! There is also a swan version and a (more expensive) parrot (super cute) and loads of other animal necklaces etc. I bought this lovely vintage looking kitten necklace and brooch from Plastic Bat the other week. The colours are gorgeous and although I'm not a cat lover, I love the graphic and adore the lace detail on the brooch. After coming home with nothing from the shops on Tuesday, I headed online to purchase these from ASOS . The ring is ah-mazing, it's massive and girly and sparkly! The chain necklace with zebra, bird, snake and giraffe is unusua...

The Worst Photoshop Ever?

Image
I was recycling old magazines last night and briefly flicked through them to check it was all paper incase there were any sample sachets enclosed. I started laughing out loud at this major photoshop error which caught my eye. Surely this has to be the worst mistake to make and nobody noticed at any point during the editing process? Oh my! Can you spot it (below)? and the answer is.............

My Vanity

Image
I've made some progress tidying my room, although it's been put on hold this week, whilst I sort out my ebay parcels. I'm pleased to have finished my little vanity area, which was in a terrible state. I threw out loads of old things, sorted my hair clips and elastics into cute tins and displayed my fragrances better. As you can see from the pics (the first image has some little notes), my everyday fragrances are Ghost, Lancome Miracle, Still by Jennifer Lopez, 'L' Gwen Stefani and my Harajuku Lovers (most used are L'il Angel and G). I wear YSL Elle on special occassions (it's quite overpowering) and occassionally use Lacoste Touch of Pink (nearly finished the huge bottle and fallen out of love with it lately) and Cacheral Anais Anais. I've just finished Love at First Glow (J Lo) and another bottle of Christian Dior J'adore. I used to work on a perfume counter so got loads of freebies there, the huge bottle of J'adore, Envy, Very Valentino and Or...

Dannii Looks Amazing

Image
I was bored last night with nothing to do, so watched some of The National Television Awards. Bad, I know! For anyone outwith the UK, it's basically as tacky as you can get. A bunch of tanned, hair extension, wannabes flashing way too much flesh, so I definitely wasn't watching it for fashion purposes. I also don't watch any UK soaps (which dominate these awards), so it was definitely out of boredom that I tuned in. However, The X Factor won an award and I was screaming with delight at Dannii Minogue and her fabulous outfit. I know she isn't exactly sporting a bump yet, but this could possibly be the most amazing maternity dress I've ever seen! It was strapless, black and ivory striped and had this bustle detail which lifted the back skirt of the dress to reveal a huge, black net underskirt. She teamed it with asymmetric, red, patent shoes which perfectly complimented. I thought she absolutely nailed the fashion battle with Cheryl last year and she certainly triumph...

Primark Haul & Office Boots

Image
I went shopping on Monday in search of 2 floral dresses I saw in magazines. Seeing as they were very spring like, I didn't expect to find them in Primark yet, but luck was on my side. They were changing the shop layout (again) and had hardly any dresses, so I was thankful they had the ones I was looking for. I also got this spotty pale blue summer dress, sheer black dress with 3/4 sleeves, a pair of brown leggings (£3!!!), this green beret (£1!!!) and a random pink ring which had lost it's price ticket and was the only one (£2). Not a bad lot for £62. The (£15) bright floral dress is fully lined (even the sleeves) and is quite stiff so sticks out all pretty. If anything, it's a little big on me. I'm really tempted to wear this to my friends wedding this summer. I adore that print with all the vivid colours. The blue floral dress (£13) is quite tight across the chest, but gives a tiny waist and flirty skirt. I have this dress in 2 other colours/prints already, so knew i...

Irregular Choice SS10 Look Book

Image
I'm really behind on posts just now, but couldn't go another day without showing you these images from the Irregular Choice SS10 look book. I could barely breathe when I saw them. Then the squealing followed and " OMG , I must have...". I don't think I've ever been so excited about an IC collection before and that's coming from someone who adores the brand! Going back to their roots, the collection is filled with carved perspex heels, quirky prints, girly styling, an array of colours and absolutely everything I want in a shoe and more. Many people will be pleased to see ' Rockd ' a fabulous reinvention of the much sought after pumps and wedges from years back (below). 'Love Games' (underneath that) are a surprisingly decadent looking court which I don't think I can live without! The luxe colours and that super high heel are simply enchanting and surprisingly elegant for IC. The same style is completely transformed in teddy print (a s...
