My Youth
I was feeling somewhat nostalgic this morning and started thinking about how my love affair with make-up and all things beauty related began.I have always been intrigued by cosmetics, especially make-up which seemed particularly full of mystery to me as a child. My...
My weekend has mainly been spent…
Doing Washing. Just like every other day of the week.Discovering my sister's tattoo on the inside of her wrist. Pretty stars and our Dad's initials. It's very cool.Persuading my sister to tell our Mum about said tattoo.Being woken up at 2am by the boy.Finally getting...
Hi Ho, Hi Ho! It’s off to the bath I go….
I seem to have developed a little bit of an addiction to Lush's So White bath ballistic. This year, the Lush Christmas LE range was inspired by Fairy Tales from around the world. This particular bath bomb owes it's name and beautiful scent to one of my favourite...
Up/Down
Going Up...Feeling fairly full of sunshine despite the rain and sleep deprivation.Giving the boy his first taste of solid food!! He had some baby rice yesterday and carrot today and seemed fairly taken with both. Apple puree tomorrow.Green Tea. Been drinking gallons...
I think I’m in love…
... with the Marc by Marc Jacobs Natasha Classic Q shoulder bag. It's purple, it's slouchy and the leather looks so buttery it might melt. (Plus it can be worn across the body which means I can induce serious bag envy in others while pushing a buggy). I want...
A Shoe Mission.
Aaaaahhhh... I'm in love with these shoes from Topshop. They're called JINX, they come in black patent leather and have a medium height heel. I tried on a pair in red and they are soooooo comfy, the perfect height for buggy pushing and they would look hot with skinny...
Fear and Self-Loathing in Loveaudrey
It never ceases to amaze me how irrational and out of control my mind can get at times. Due to some personal events that occurred this morning I've spent the majority of today feeling really, really rubbish. I know I'm not alone in my ability to occasionally allow my...
Loveaudrey Does Halloween
Izzy becomes The Corpse Bride from loveaudrey on Vimeo.My gorgeous pixie getting dolled up for Halloween! She's a HUGE Tim Burton fan and has been looking forward to dressing up like this for aaaaages.I used Snazaroo face paints in Sparkle Blue, Turquoise, White and,...
Things I’ve been loving this month…
I can't believe October is almost over. November is a weird month for me. It's full of anniversaries. The 20th will mark 4 years since my wonderful Dad passed away. He would have been turning 55 on the 23rd had he not lost his fight with cancer. Then the 25th would...
Up/Down
Going Up...Taking the plunge and placing an online order for the Bobbi Brown corrector and creamy concealer kit. *crosses fingers that I've chosen the right shades*Revlon Matte e/s in Vintage Lace. It's just a plain old matte ivory shadow but I love it. I have used...
Diorific
For me, wearing red lipstick is a guaranteed antidote to feeling tired, frumpy and depressed. One swipe of the bullet and I instantly feel more glamorous, more put together (even when I'm clearly not). Therefore, this morning, after yet another crap sleepless night, I...
Motivation
I'm feeling decidedly awful at the moment. Incredibly tired and grumpy. I haven't had the energy to wear proper make-up in days, my hair is in desperate need of some TLC and all other grooming activities are currently being neglected.Right now I wish I could look like...
The things I’m dreaming about right now… No.2
See here for my original list (still no new converse and I think the coat is destined to remain a dream forever). Topshop 'Strike' platform court shoes... I NEED these. Warehouse Tweed Puff Sleeve Dress House of Harlow 14kt gold plated feather earrings with black...
Up/Down
Going Up...MAC Lustering lipstick. Possibly my favourite lipstick ever. It had been buried in my collection and therefore somewhat neglected for a while. Wearing it today cheered me up no end. My son's drinking habit!!My step-mother coming to visit this weekend. There...
An Ideal Serum
A few months ago I blogged about something I described as a 'product I can't live without'. Well, guess what? I was wrong. I've been living without it for approximately 2 and a half months. Being a true product junkie, I was easily courted by a rival counter and...
Another Perfume Post!
This smells amazing... dare I say I even prefer it to my beloved Flowerbomb!! The bottle is absolutely stunning in real life. I'm not sure I can wait until Christmas for this one... might have to treat myself!Loveaudrey...
Current Skin Heroes
I'm definitely going through a good skin phase at the moment (probably just jinxed myself by typing that though). I feel I've found a skincare routine that works very well for me and that sticking to it is really paying off. I'm also positive that my hormones must be...
Up/Down
Going Up...Not being ill.An old school friend coming to visit tomorrow. I've not seen him in ages and I know we'll have so much fun!Being on a bit of a health kick. Making sure I get my 2 litres of water a day (does anyone else find this harder in colder weather... I...
The Plague
We've all been terribly ill this week. It started with my daughter vomiting on the way to school on Tuesday and by Wednesday evening both me and the boyfriend were at it as well. We both spent the whole night puking and most of Thursday too weak to move. I cried every...
Fashion Crush: Alexander McQueen S/S 2010
I've been watching this show all afternoon. The fabrics are so stunning... they make me think of butterfly wings. The heels are insane, the models must have been agony, as well as terrified of going A over T!! Images drooled over here. Loveaudrey...
