beauty: pop it, lock it, polka dot it.
I decided to play around with the Nail Rock nail wraps that were in my November Glossybox (you can see my video on that here) I've tried the wraps before in the black and white stripes and loved them, although they didn't last very long. This time I've applied the polka dot pattern, and put my trusty Seche Vite UV topcoat over to see if it makes them any more long wearing. I think these kind of things are good for a night out or an event but don't tend to stay around as long as they claim. We shall see!
diary: saturday night's alright
Just a quick post before I head off for a much needed catchup with my friend Caroline. Its really starting to get cold outside so I'm not entirely sure that this faux leather Primark jacket I bought many moons (literally 4 years) ago is going to be sensible much longer, but tonight it will have to do the trick! I have bought one winter coat this year but since I'm jetting off to Gran Canaria for Christmas in a couple of weeks I'm hoping I can make do with that and my Barbour, there haven't been many coats catching my eye recently in all honesty!
food and drink: cherry blossom cupcakes
Good afternoon guys, hope you are all getting ready for a lovely weekend. I've had a lazy yet productive day of video editing and blog planning. I have a spanking new camera (more on that in another post) and am so looking forward to creating blog posts now, I've uploaded a youtube video with it already, you can see that at the end of this post!
fashion: sweet sweet melody
I shot a lookbook video today in Macclesfield forest and I thought I would take some photos for the blog whilst I was there! I was sent this dress by Pilot and I loved wearing it in the warmer weather on its own and now layered with tights and cardigans. I'm a big fan of their dresses, I have a few that I've picked up in the sale in Oxford Street Topshop and they have worn and washed well. I'm just a sucker for chiffon really.
fashion: unscratched lenses, of a brand new prescription
The day finally came, I got some new glasses. I have worn some variation of glasses or contacts since my high school days (nothing like typing that phrase to make you feel old) starting out with some ugly blue metal (nu metal?) frames that made me look ridiculous and restricted my accessorising fun, ending up in some Gucci frames that were nice but
beauty: look beauty excitement
As a blogger, I see high street makeup collections come and go, and although its always nice to see an affordable range, its not often you see a collection that just has everything. Its hard to describe exactly what makes a collection so appealing, its just the right combination of beautiful packaging, pretty shades, products that work and a winning price point.
food and drink: mexican wave
I'm a sucker for Mexican food. If I had my way, and didn't have to fit through doors, I'd probably eat it for every meal. Unfortunately, I like my jeans to buckle, so I have to either whip up a healthy version at home, or save it for a treat. People that know me know I'm partial to the odd trip to Barburrito, its my go-to place in Manchester if I need a quick meal, but if you're ever around the Arndale area and fancy Mexican, I'd really recommend Pancho's if you have a bit more time on your hands (but not much more, don't worry!) and fancy something that doesn't scream retail chain.
travel: moving to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches
Last week Matt and I took a little Peak District Roadtrip, here are some photos we took on our travels, our little video is at the end if you haven't seen it. Enjoy!.
fashion: simple math
Well hello there, long time no see on the blog! You might have noticed I've changed things around a lot. I hated the way my blog looked and it made me reluctant to post on here, Im sure you all know I'm more of a youtuber and the immediacy of the video format honestly made me prefer posting over on my channel, but I was always jealous of bloggers with nice neat layouts and I wanted to post about more than just makeup, I just wasn't sure how to go about it. You'll notice there are categories now so you can sort through my posts a bit easier and find things you like, and a slideshow of recent or featured posts, so you can see what I've been writing about recently in case you haven't had a peek in say, the fashion section in a while.
