I like Rodial, I really do. Their products are generally good - although the hefty price tag doesnt always have me repurchasing - and they come across as quite innovative with their use of ingredient...
When I was in the UK I paid a long overdue visit to American Apparel. I tried on some Disco Pants.Dont laugh.Well, actually you can laugh - they looked hideous on me and like Jeffrey Campbell Litas a...
This is a bit of a compilation post. Rather than feed you lots of mini snippets featuring the items that I am currently loving I thought I would whack them together. I think I cover all bases here - ...
More dainty trinkets and sideways necklace action for you :) I blogged about this necklace a few weeks ago when I sourced some pretty versions of a Hamsa on etsy. Etsy is such a goldmine for independ...
How nice is the weather in the UK at the moment? I leave on Monday but am lapping up the sunshine as I type because its that moderate, nice kind of warm that doesnt leave you sticky and bitchy. In ot...
The sun is shining in the UK (hurray!) and I am going to post about cosy knitwear. Thats the way it goes I suppose.I went to the Missoni pre-fall preview a week ago. Held in the Boutique 1 store in M...
I have wanted to get Minx nails for years. I remember reading about it in magazines and thinking "I am definitely going to try that one day". Well "one day" came last Monday and heres...
This feels like a non-post as:a) Its about a dressb) It talks about my weekend which at this point feels like years ago.Anyway...I plough on :)So first of all, I did the brunch at the St Regis Saadiy...
I was meant to post this far earlier today but I got a bit sidetracked by the Man City match. Apologies!This is my new favourite item from Zara. Surely that is the phrase to describe anything from th...
This post is pathetic because I have only worn these shoes a day but I am completely in love with them.I adore everything:The height - 100mm is big enough for my 5ft 7 inch frameThe colour - a pretty...
I think this post was originally intended to be about my new Cheap Monday playsuit.I say originally because after wearing the playsuit yesterday I cant say I love it or would recommend it. Its that p...
I have been working like a woman possessed this week. Possessed with deadlines that is. This meant very little fun and very little blogging. I hope it eases up over the next few weeks but the signs a...
Its at this point I confess that I have never been one for a nail base coat.Even when I wear the dragon blood colour polish that threatens to stain my nails for weeks, I still neglect to layer down a...
Soft fabric + hard studs = impossible to resist.As soon as I saw snaps of this on Tumblr I made a mental note to keep an eye out. I made a brave trip to Zara this week and this was, without question,...
I waited a long time before I bought this lipstick.I read the bloggers warnings - "chalky, uneven texture", "makes your teeth look yellow" etc. - and yet, despite my research I still ...
I am in the throes of an eBay phase at the moment. It all started because I couldnt sleep one night so I decided to waste time online. And here we are, a couple of happy purchases down.I am a specifi...
I dont define myself as a fashion blogger so I dont feel too bad posting about a pair of scraggy, old-looking jeans. AKA nothing special. The worst part of this is that said item is only a few weeks ...
The Hamsa obsession continues...In my last post I included links to some individual Etsy sellers that I thought sold beautiful versions of the hamsa necklace. Many of you clicked on those links and d...
I got a little gift this weekend - of the costume jewellery variety.Cue squeal of excitement Its a little bit of everything, channeling the aesthetics of a pretty disc necklace, combining it with a d...
So my ASOS order finally made it. I should really cut them some slack as the package was only about 3-4 days later than anticipated and I didnt pay a penny in shipping but still: international order ...
Its on again. That search for the flawless face and the slap that can help me get there.I maintain that if you get the basics of brows and skin right, you dont even need anything else and ever since ...
Whats the saying....you wait ages for a bus and then they all turn up at once?This month my ugly mug is literally plastered over 3 magazines and one online publication. I am in Whats On Magazine, POS...
I struck gold at the outlet mall this week.Well, strictly speaking Teresa did because she spied a few of these Celine tops languishing on a forgotten rack. As soon as I saw it I instinctively knew I ...
Now there are some lipsticks that get makeup addicts very excited. For example, the likes of MAC Impassioned and Show Orchid are colours to wow. They are a statement of the wearers confidence, and wh...
My recommendation? Do not go in Zara at the moment. There is a lot of stock that seems to fit the bill and you will end up spending quite a bit of money. This week I literally sighed as I walked arou...
....but I damn well did.Another neutral palette for the collection...I consider this my rebellion against Naked 2. Packaging and Half Baked aside, I really dont like it. Its a personal thing. I find ...
I hauled Redken after my latest hairdresser visit. It was one of those purchase sprees spurred on by relief that the appointment had gone well.Shampoo, conditioner and treatment product all added to ...
So it took me a while but I am there. I now own a metallic collar. And honestly what took me so long?Its that inexpensive piece that adds that added bit of interest to an otherwise bland shirt.This c...
I found them! After months of anxious shop and website hunts, I found the leather shorts of my dreams. This pair was seen resting The Outlet - where the unsold clothes from Boutique 1 get laid t...
I am disappointed in myself. These photos didnt come out very well and its all my fault. I was in a champagne coma and missed the sunset so all you get is a soft gauze effect, lacking focus and givin...
