Neat Nails

These nails are so unbelievably stunning, I could cry! Inspired by Cath Kidston, these nails are so beautiful, I've got all of these colours but my hands are just not steady enough, does anyone else want to try for me?


I found this image on Pinterest but I can't find where it was originally from!

A Day in the Life of a Birthday Girl

As some of my twitter followers will know it was my 25th birthday on Friday, or as I like to call it, 24th again... So here's what I got up to, I got up all blurry eyed to my mum and dad singing Happy Birthday at the top of their voices with these cupcakes, what beauts!


I totally demolished my pink presents, there's photographic proof in my previous post. Once I'd got myself together and made meself look presentable my parents, boyfriend and I headed over to The Blind Pig for afternoon tea with a twist. The intoxicating tea rooms serve cocktails instead of tea in the teapots, it was actual heaven!


How genius is this idea? Above the bar there are glasses hanging from lights by fishing wire, I spent ages just staring at the sparkling glass, love.



And proof of my shiny happy birthday face, and my dad's!


The guy in the background is just shaking a cocktail... but he looks mad.

Pink Sunday

This Pink Sunday is a totally selfish one, here is my living room floor on Friday, also know as my birthday

Mr Porter + Chris O'Dowd = Lush

I adore everything about Net A Porter and it's brother Mr Porter is super hot. So the other day when I got an email through from Mr Porter with the lovely Chris O'Dowd on I let out a little squeal (I was at my desk at work and yes I got a few funny looks), how good does he look?


I'm a massive fan of his anyway after first watching him as Roy in The IT Crowd


And more recently as the adorable Simple Simon in The Boat That Rocked

Don't you dare Glasgow...

You may have all heard my lack of enthusiasm for Glasgow's weather recently on twitter, I mean snow in March, come on! So this post is simply a warning that if my mac is telling me the truth and it snows on Friday (aka my birthday) I'll be very upset and I apologise now for the profanities that will probably be flowing all day...


A Boots-tastic Day

I love Boots a little too much, I can spend hours in there browsing hair and make up and dreaming of all the pretty things that I could do.. I went a little mad yesterday but John Frieda has a wonderful range called Luxurious Volume, which I totally swear by to give my hair some body.


I did not realise that Boots stocked Models Own, honestly I almost passed out with joy! So after picking up 5 nail polishes, yes 5, I realised I was being a little hasty and settled on these beautiful colours, jade stone and sterling silver. I was far too excited about the two new colours so instead of calming down I just put both colours on my nails! I also managed to track down the Rimmel Matte Finish that my friend Beesley introduced me to the other week.


The Rimmel Matte Finish takes colours from the super shiny gloss like this:


To beautifully chalky and matte. I'm in love with it, all my nail polished will be matte from now on.




Pink Sunday

What do you get if you put two of my favourite things together (pink and shoes being my favourites)? You get some sweet Kandee love. I've blogged before about how much I love Kandee, see my previous posts here. The Raspberry Sours are such a stunning colour, and perfect for finishing off a colour blocking outfit.


Get yourself over here if you love them too.

But if you are like me, far too tall, then these Fuchsia Liquorice Allsoles are perfect! Little shiny ballet pumps are my fashion essential and will the flash of fuchsia on the sole makes them cute as well as a staple for my wardrobe.
