I simply remember my favourite things...

It's a "Long time no see" from me!

It's been nearly a month since my last post, so I hope you'll forgive me when I say I've been a little busy! Not only has college work, panto performances and dance exams taken over, but the course of wind and rain has stopped me from getting those precious moments outside (boo!).

For today's post, I thought I'd show you a few of my favourite accessories at the moment! Since my birthday in January, I've been using all my lovely new presents. However, nothing has topped off my vintage ring from mom and dad - it's a beauty!
I love receiving and trying new things, and it was quite a shock when I realised how well my friends knew me when opening my presents.

First on my list, is my little bottle of Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume! It's the perfect handbag size so ideal to take on a night out with the family. I also loved how it came with it's own refill bottle, so you can top up the bottle as you need. I love the whole Marc Jacobs collection (having sampled my friends rather obsessive haul).

Another little gem, that's been rather helpful in the colder months, is my fur headband! It's amazing for 3 reasons: It can conceal the worst bad hair days, it keeps my head warm, and it looks fab too. I brought as a Christmas present (yes, for myself) and it's definitely had it's full wear!

These lovely bottles of Barry M nail paint, were presents for my Birthday. My favourite has to be the metallic teal colour, as it's such a pretty colour, but I've recently liked the matted style of the blue bottle also! Priced around £3 a bottle, these will last me all year - so a great investment!

The Colours are: NP325 (blue) and NP334 (teal). 

This was also a birthday present, from New Look. I'm trying to wear it as much as possible, in hope it'll be a lucky elephant in my exams this year. In truth, I know those A grades aren't going to appear from no where, but hey ho. I loved the decorative touches to the pendent, and the long chain goes lovely with my dresses.

Finally, (and before you ask, no I'm not engaged) I had this beautiful ring from my parents, as a little "dude, your 18" present. It was a vintage engagement ring, purchased from a jewellers on Ebay, and it was sheer luck that it fit! I absolutely love the stone, which happens to be my birthstone Garnette! So although I wont be wearing this accessory piece everyday, it's by far my favourite piece! 

That's all from me today! Thank you for holding up, while I get myself fully sorted (and stop the A Levels from taking over)!

Lots of Love,

What a Sweetie Pie... Spring Pastel Nails X

Since my last post, I've been locked in my room revising (like most kiddo's my age).
So, I decided to do a 'see how long I can revise while painting my nails' experiment. In an attempt to paint my nails while revising, I managed  to get polish everywhere - including my textbooks...
It was a mission failed.

Still, it finally gave me something to post about! After a little shopping trip over the weekend, I've stocked up in pastel shades of nail paint, ready for the Spring - yay!

It's a huge trend at the moment to mix and match pastel shades! For those of you (like myself) who struggle to last 5 minutes without smudging nails, it's a great way to let your nails dry while your using different polishes!

The nail polishes I've used are:

1. Avon Speed Dry in pastel green.
2. Barry M Nail Paint in baby pink.
3. Avon nailwear pro in light blue.

Barry M is one of my favourite brands for nail polish, followed closely by Avon. The colours in both collections always look lovely, and look the same colour when painted on, as the bottle (which makes a change!).

 Are you feeling the Spring yet? Its difficult considering its around 2°C outside! Still, we can work around that factor...

That's all from me!

Lots of Love,

My Week...Birthday/Revision/and a big Thank you! #1

Okay, It's another quick post, as I'm being howled at by my mother about GETTING ON WITH REVISION! Anyone else got exams at the moment - it's killing me!
First I just wan't to say a big Thankyou!

Since starting off my little blog back in summer, I've enjoyed every second, of blogging, and thanks to you lovely readers I hate spending a second not ranting on about all my interests!
So last week, I hit 10,000 hits which for many of you is like 'yeah and what?' but I was so chuffed!
So thank you!!!

With celebrating my birthday last weekend, I haven't had chance to show you all my lovely present's off my friends and family.....

 This was a highlight of my birthday. I have always wanted a teddy bear from the 'build-a-bear workshop' since I've been about 6. So, when I opened my new teddy from my lovely friends, I was over the moon! Then I pressed the wrist, (and knowing I'm not the greatest fan of One Direction) my friends had kindly added 'that's what makes you beautiful' as the tune.... which keeps accidenty playing when I'm asleep!

 This was a present I kindly brought for myself from Ebay and got my momma to wrap it (best way to do it, if you ask me!). I just love how cute this satchel is - it even has little ears! I'm sure you'll be seeing more of this, in future posts!

Here's my reading list the last few weeks. As you know, I'm officially obsessed with Downton Abbey, so have enjoyed reading the latest series book! Did you know, that on set, it's so cold outside - the actors do all their rehearsals in coats with hot water bottles, so they don't freeze! I've finally got my 'Teen Vogue Hand Book', which I'm super excited about reading...when I get round to it.

 I always love adding new things to decorate my bedroom. This lovely 'LOVE' sign, looks great among my many books on my bookshelf, and I can't wait to add my own photo!

 I love doing my nails, and my lovely friend Lauren brought me this amazing nail set - that has everything you'll ever need to make your nails look gorgeous! I can't wait to do some demo's for you all, though I'll be waiting till after my exams, as my nails are currently bit down with nerves! Whoops!

My Auntie brought me this lovely bag to match my new Vintage Satchel I had for christmas: you can see it here. It's just the right size to put in your phone and purse in, and compliments any outfit!

Well that's all, Enjoy you Sunday - The Suns out, though I'm hoping it FINALLY snows in the next few days?!!?!?!
I'm off to learn about the origins of the Second World War. My own brain will be having a World War after all this revision... Still, let's hope it's worth it!

Lots of Love,

Avon Speeddry nail enamel Review, Christmas jumpers, and a few bits n bobs'

So, today's post is a big jumble of Christmas all stuffed into one! 

But first, I've been obsessed with Avon recently - I need to seriously consider being a representative to start making it pay, for my over indulgence! 

Today's nail colours were two of my favourites, that I pared together while being 'creative' or just 'lazy' over Christmas....

 I chose too colours 'Art Orange' and 'Lime Splatter' which bring in the deep oranges of winter, and the pastels of Spring 2013. The biggest advantage of the Avon collection for me is they really are SPEEDDRY, as my nails were dry in 30 seconds. I would definitely recommend this nail polish, as there's a great range of colours, and definitely worth purchasing if your like me, and get impatient waiting for nails to dry! 

 My sister got the Friends boxset, and between watching the non stop episodes back to back, we've been testing out knowledge, playing the 'friends scene it game'. No matter how old the episodes, I still love some of the outfits, and how the style of each 'Friends' character changes over the years.  

 My auntie brought my mom some gorgeous followers - It doesn't matter what time of year, I always love flowers to brighten up the room!

Managed to drag my sister into a photo, to show off her lovely Christmas jumper! Since technically Christmas continues to the 6th of January, she's seeking every opportunity to wear it! 

Here's my Christmas Jumper - though I've been wearing it most of winter! (shame there hasn't actually been any snow near my home...). Still in good spirits of holiday cheer, I'm sporting my festive jumper for as long as possible!

How are you spending the holidays? We still have a mass of family over every night - and my mom is still finding people to brag at, about our '1 pound Christmas tree'...

Lots of Love,

Christmas Nailssss :)

There's only 5 Sleeps Till Christmas!!!!!

With Christmas less than a week away I've been Christmasying up, everything I own!

Today's nails are in true Christmas festive spirit, with a mix of Barry M green (a birthday present last year from my lovely friend!) and a red Maxfactor nail polish!

 Okay, It might look a little tacky? But I'm planning on going gold in the next few days - so be prepared! I'm just starting to get the Christmas decorations out this year (gutted), so cranking up every Christmas tune! 

Lots of Love,

Barry M & Beauty UK Sky Blue nail paint...

Good Morning. ~ ONLY 9 SLEEPS TILL CHRISTMAS!

I'm currently slouching around in my Pjays, having had an exciting night out at Free Radio Live Concert, I'm now spending my morning re-cooperating...

Feeling glittery last night, I've used two nail paints to create this sky blue glitter nail colour. First I used a thick layer of Beauty UK blue nail polish, followed by a coat of Barry M glitter! 

As you can probably already tell, from previous posts, I love Barry M nail paint's! The paint is also long lasting, and chip resistant - which saves you from the paint of re-applying...
This nail polish will complete you outfit on a glittery night out! And is very subtle so you can wear it with a rang of outfits too.

Lots of Love,
