Kamikaze Girls
Last night my boyfriend and I watched this fantastic Japanese film. It was brilliant, really funny and beautifully shot. My other half summed it up really well when he described it as a Japanese 'Amelie'. The main character, Momoko, looks fantastic in all her Lolita...

I think I NEED these in my life….
So I'm officially overdue. To try and prevent me from feeling too miserable my boyfriend, daughter and I wandered into town for a hot chocolate and some cake this morning.On the way home we took a short-cut through Debenhams and I spotted that the new Chanel Celestial...
FOTD
Please excuse the dodgy pic! Don't know what is going on with my fringe!In an attempt to distract myself from the fact I haven't gone into labour yet I decided to experiment with some of my recent purchases and applied a full face of make-up even though I won't be...
A spot of imaginary shopping……
I heart Vivienne Westwood! I adore the way she takes something quite classic, like tartan or a tailored suit, and gives it a quirky, punky twist. One day I'll manage to treat myself to a little bit of Viv but for now I'll have to make do with dreaming....Oh and the...
Come on baby….
Hmmmmm... today is my due date but nothing seems to be stirring yet! With my first, I went into labour at 11pm on my due date and my daughter was born the following morning. It would be wonderful if history could repeat itself as I will not cope well with going...
A Belated Rose Romance
I don't have a MAC counter locally so usually have to rely on online orders. However, whenever my sister comes to visit I usually ask her to pick me up a few bits from her local store. After she forgot to bring the items I selected from the Rose Romance collection on...
Filling the hours….

My Favourite Shoes
A couple of years ago my boyfriend treated me to the most beautiful pair of Agent Provocateur shoes for Christmas. I'm a big fan of AP underwear and the whole sexy, boudoir aesthetic they use in their shops, packaging and advertising. These shoes make me feel like a...
Perfume
Audrey Tatou for Chanel No.5Aren't perfume adverts strange? Aside from those that offer a small sample or have some kind of scented strip, they have nothing to do with smell. I suppose they're selling an image. Perhaps it's an image of how we think we'd like to smell,...

Going Up...Gaining followers! I love writing posts but it's lovely to know somebody, somewhere is reading them too!My new accessorize bag cheering me up and helping me forget that I basically have one outfit that I can wear without overheating.The prospect of tea and...
Restocking
One of my favourite ways to relax is by taking long, luxurious, candlelit baths. For this reason I always like to have a selection of bath treats close by. This morning I wandered up to my local Lush store to restock.Clockwise from far L: Think Pink, Sakura x2,Waving...

Shopping!
Despite a nightmare journey (the bus broke down and she had to wait an hour in the heat for another one) my sister finally made it over to visit me yesterday. The first thing we did when she arrived was eat! I was VERY hungry (and needed to satisfy my ice craving) so...
My Make-up Bag
I've always loved reading blog posts or watching youtube videos on this subject so I thought I'd reveal the contents of my own make-up bag. First the shiny bright red bag itself! It came from MAC with a set of eye-shadow brushes that I treated myself to at Christmas.I...

Scrub-a-dub-dub!
I love scrubs. Face scrubs, body scrubs, hand scrubs, foot scrubs... I just love the feeling of fresh, new glowing skin that they bring forth. I've tried many exfoliaters over the years and have developed some firm favourites. I generally prefer mechanical scrubs as...
My Favourite Fashion Films No.2
