Lust item of the moment!


H&M trousers- £12.99
I have to say these are one of the items that I am lusting after for this spring summer and I think that they will definitely be the next thing I buy! Not only are they incredible but an absolute bargain. Well done to H&M.

Nail varnish collection.

As my lipstick collection post went down so well I thought it might be a nice idea to pop up a post about my nail varnish collection. In a similar fashion I have far far too many nail varnishes much like I do lipsticks.

Okay so there is no doubt that I, in many people's eyes have too many of these flipping things and I would have to agree with them. No one needs all these but they are so pretty I just can't resist! God this blog has turned a little bit into a confession of my shopaholic problem. But then again I enjoy it so who's it hurting! Although I wear all these varnishes all year round I have recently discovered that I have an absolute favourite brand! That being models own. Not only is the colour range one of the best I have ever seen, form their duo chrome colours to flatter creamy ones but they, at least on me, last for at least a week with a topcoat.

These are the colours I own and I think they are some perfect shades for spring and summer. Now I know what your thinking, and I agree they are not the conventional pastel shades of the moment but I think they are perfect! I'm not the biggest fan of pastels and with my palest of pale completion they don't really look that great on me either so I've gone for a more unusual collection for the new seasons.

I think this is my favourite of all my nail varnishes at the moment its perfect for every season and, well, I just adore it really!

Hope you enjoyed this little post as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Adding Colour for Spring?

So university work has been taking up a huge amount of my time recently and to be honest with you I should be doing work now, but I feel its time for a break! The sun as come out here and it's definitely getting warmer; it almost feels like spring. Which has got me thinking its time to break out in a little bit of colour. If you know me you will be all too aware that I love black, grey and white and that these are the tones that make up the majority of my wardrobe. You would also be aware I get a lot of stick for wearing such dull colours. So I have taken it upon myself to break into a bit of colour...

trousers - £24.99 Newlook / shirts - birthday gifts Topshop / Jumper- a year old Newlook / shorts- £35 Topshop

These are just a few items that I have been wearing recently to inject a splash of colour into my outfits. Although, after taking this picture I noticed I have a lot of warm tones so i think its time to go get some cooler colours. I have a craving for something patterned and bright blue for some reason, time to go shopping i think.
