Sorry guys....

Hi All!!

I just wanted to let you all know the reason I haven't been blogging much recently and that is because my laptop decided to die on me!! The only access I have to a PC is Richard's so I will try my best to post as much as possibly. Looks like my laptop can't be fixed so i'll have to wait until my birthday in September to get a new one.

For now anyways here is my most recent night out attire, a dress you have previously seen me in before but hey ho....

R.I.P Amy Winehouse

Hi All!!

As you all know the sad news of singer Amy Winehouse passing shocked the world this weekend.

It is such sad news, in all honesty I can not say I am really surprised as she was a troubled soul. But still you don't want to actually have something like this become reality. It seems to be a controversial topic and I have read very many shocking and heartless comments regarding the singers death. If she passed due to an overdose etc then it is tragic but she was not a bad person.

R.I.P Amy Winehouse
- A unique talented woman who I will always remember when I put on my f*** me pumps -

My Favourite Blogs

Hi All!!

So I wanted to do a post to show you all what sort of blogs I enjoy reading on a daily/weekly basis. My own personal interest in blogs vary; initally I am always keen to read a blog based around fashion but more important to me is a blog based around the writers own personal style.

I like to see a blogger post different outfits that is true to their OWN style. More often then not the way they put items together intrigues me to see more. A beauty, nail and/or hair blog will inspire me try out new looks and experienment more. A lifestyle blog is always a good read but sometimes makes me feel a tad bit nosey!

Either way all the blogs I follow are quite simply.....

Here is a VERY long list of some of my favourite blogs...

Lauren's Dressing Room
Meek N Mild
Lucia Lolita
The Hollywood Heels
Butterfly Wings
Vintage Vixen
Superficial Girls
Diamonds N Pearls
Saskia the Style Fairy
Liparazzi
Nails by Sierra Storey
Bubble Dreams/Imogen Foxy Locks
Follow me in 5 Inch Heels
It's a London Thing"
London's Closet

In all honesty I could sit here all day posting links to every single blog I read but that would be a very long post. I am a follower to sooooo many blogs it is ridiculous!! Us bloggers do a good job and it's nice to gain some recognition and praise for what we do in our own spare time. If however I haven't listed your blog here and you know I follow it through google connect then I want you to know also that I enjoy reading your posts too! :)

If you don't follow some of the above blogs I hope that you find some of these to your interest!

To the bloggers I have mentioned up there keep up the good work!!

Trends: Pretty Lip Tattoo

Hi All!!

If you haven't already noticed not only are people going crazy over fabulous and wacky designs for their nails but the craze has now moved onto another part of the body; the lips!! I have recently noticed this trend and seen it in a few magazines and also on youtube.

I know it gets mixed views from people but personally I love the idea, have a look...

If you are interested in purchasing them in the UK they are available from Harvey Nichols which I am gutted about as I didn't notice them when I was there this Thursday! I am eyeing up the pink with polka dots and the pink with stars.

What are your thoughts?

Outfit of the Night and my evening at Harvey Nichols... lots of photos!!

Hi All!!

Last night me and my mother attended a Women 4 Business event at Birminghams Harvey Nichols. It was a fun night filled with champagne, nibbles and beauty demonstrations that we both enjoyed! As my mom is now an independent/freelance skincare consultant and make up artist she is a member of the Women 4 Business company and invited me along with her to the event.

I hadn't been to Harvey Nichols for a very long time, i've always adored the items they sell there. Just like Selfridges; Harvey Nichols sells designer brands in stylish layout stores.

I wanted to show you some photos of the items currently available to purchase there because oh me oh my, I felt like I was in heaven! I will definately be doing the Euro Millions tonight... I would love to be able to afford some of these beautys.....

My favourite item of the night a hot pink Moschino bag....

There was also a raffle for the chance to win a Harvey Nichols goody bag and guess who won? Yup ME!!! How cool is that, I've never won from a raffle before and as you do I went bright red when my name was called. Luckily for me I was the third name called out as the previous two people had already left the event... third time lucky I guess. Check out my goodies....

Me and my mom.....

Oh and this is what I wore....

Cardigan: Vintage

Top: H&M

Shorts: New Look

Tights: Primark

Shoeboots: Miss Diva

I know so many photos but I had to do!

My blog shop is now open!

Hi All!!

I have recently opened a blog shop which you can visit here if you are interested in purchasing some items that I wish to sell. There is a short T&C's there for you to read any information about the items up for grabs and just so you are aware all item prices include p&p so no extra charges on top.

The items listed may or may not have been used/worn by myself but this will all be stated, just felt it was easier to list them in my blog shop for my readers before taking them to a car boot or loading them to Ebay.

If you are interested in purchasing an item please leave a comment on that post for the time being as I do NOT have access to my email account

Happy shopping.....
