Painting a red cross on the door…
My daughter has swine flu. She spiked a very high temperature last night and as she is asthmatic, and therefore at a higher risk for developing complications, she's being treated with anti-viral drugs straight away. I hate it when she's poorly, it just breaks my...
My Birthday – The countdown begins.
My 26th birthday is only 1 month away! I get stupidly excited about birthdays, probably because they provide an excuse to get dressed up and go out somewhere nice, something my boyfriend and I do VERY rarely these days! To put it into perspective, I've had two nights...
Tightening Our Belts
I realised earlier this week that I've become a little too comfortable in my overdraft recently. I absolutely hate being in debt so I've decided I need to take some steps to get back on top of things financially. Inspired by the shopping banns and spending diets of...
Fashion Crush – Luella
I really love British designer Luella Bartley. It seems that every season I find myself lusting after some or all of the gorgeous dresses in her collections. For some reaso,n her quirky designs make me think of London, they've got that kind of 'fashion with a sense of...
My Beauty & Style Icons No.9
Shirley MansonI have a bit of a Love/Hate relationship with Ms. Manson. I've always admired her look... I adore the red hair and grungy make-up... and I love the music. But, my boyfriend had a major crush on her as a teenager and, to be honest, probably still does....
Sitting this one out…
(In my opinion, some of the best promo imagery MAC has produced in a while.)I've made the tough decision not to purchase anything from MAC's Colour Craft Collection. I have been excited about this release for quite a while and had definitely compiled a modest wishlist...
A Little Lancome Love
Earlier this week I ran out of the Lancome Hydra Zen Neurocalm eye cream I've been using. As I'm surviving on minimal sleep at the moment this is one product I really can't live without. I've tried a lot of different eye creams over the years, both high-end and...
Up/Down
Going Up...Actually managing to apply a full face of make-up today, eye-shadow and everything! Nothing spectacular... I used my usual Lily Lolo mineral foundation, NARS Deep Throat and MAC Moonriver GrandDuo on my cheeks, MAC Shore Leave on the lid and Dear Cupcake in...
Getting ahead of myself again…
Temptalia is my favourite place to gather ALL the information on upcoming make-up collections. After blogging about my love of A/W beauty, a quick browse through posts regarding the releases for 'Fall 2009' has seriously lengthened my beauty wishlist! I'm already a...
I’m already dreaming about….
... autumn/winter fashion and make-up!A lot of stores are starting to fill up with some beautiful clothes and shoes that are completely at odds with the sunny weather we're currently experiencing in the UK. Possibly because I can't really embrace my summer wardrobe...
Fashion Crush – Dior Ready to Wear a/w 09
I am in love with the images from Dior's a/w ready to wear collection. The clothes are very classic, inspired by the polished, feminine style of the 1940s. And how stunning was the hair and make-up? I'd love an excuse to try and recreate this look!Loveaudrey...
An £18 mistake
Don't you hate it when a product that seemed soooo stunning when you swatched it turns out to look vile when applied on your actual face? That would be the case with my much-longed for Chanel glosssimer in 'Selix'. It looks awful on me, really garish. I'm so...
Origins to the rescue again!
A combination of sleep deprivation, hormones and the fact that nutrients from my diet and hydration from the water I drink is being diverted away from my skin by breastfeeding has caused my face to become a bit congested and dull. At times like this I usually reach...
Up/Down
Going Up...Crossing something off my wishlist, namely Chanel's glossimer in 'Silex'. My reward to myself for getting a 1st for my dissertation.New jeans! They fit and they don't have an elasticated waist. All is right with the world again.Meeting up with a friend from...
Results
Yesterday my university released our degree results. I had a bit of trouble finding out my marks as I haven't completed all my modules yet (I had to defer 2 exams because of when my son's due date fell) but I eventually spoke to my personal tutor on the telephone. I...
Fashion Crush – Erdem
Erdem A/W 09The August edition of Elle magazine (which is one of my favourite reads) contains everything you need to know about the autumn/winter fashion collections. I was flicking through a feature about the key trends for next season when I spotted a model in the...
Things I’ve been loving this month – June
It's been an eventful month for me. I spent the first half of it pregnant and the second half caring for the new addition to our family! Here are a few things that have made me smile this month. The weather - I moaned when I was pregnant but I do love the sunshine!...
HG Jeans + Sale = Good Times!
I was browsing the Miss Sixty website last night and found some fantastic jeans in the sale.I've been wearing this brand for years. They fit me perfectly (well at least they did, only time will tell!) and have a magical ability to make your legs and bum look amazing!...
My first post-pregnancy fashion purchase.
I found this top in the sale at Warehouse. It was £25 reduced from £40. It's perfect for summer and is breast feeding friendly. I can't wait to wear it with skinny jeans or crops and my tan, studded sandals from Topshop. I'll probably pair it with loads of bangles and...
