Sad as it may be but you need to be told

As much as i hate to post this, but i feel i need to for my own sake

I wont be posting as much, and as you can guess my posts have been getting sparser and sparser. Its not because i've got bored of this blog or i just dont care but i have exams coming up and i need to focus all my time on them. Instead of wasting time on the internet, i need to be studying ( im a huge procasinator).

I would expect a weekly post maybe on a sunday or saturday, but even then who knows.I promise i will be back and will not be leaving you guys as i love you readers!

P.S i will be updating my twitter daily so feel free to check mine out

Saturday

Bonjour my readers!

Finally woke from your sleep? Whooped in the fact its saturday? Made yourself a nice mug of coffee and some pancakes to match? Are planning a night out? Plan or have bought armfulls of items today? Opened a window and smelled the fresh air?

If you have done at least two of these things, well done! Saturdays are the days of pampering, having fun, its a day of thanking the fact its not a work or school day. Its a day for wearing those favourite sweats or that favourite outfit!

How do you treat yourself on a saturday?

Make yourself that calorie loaded forbidden breakfast

Open a window in your room and smell the fresh air

Tidy your bedroom up so its creates a calm and peaceful space

Save up those favourite programs which you tivo'ed or Sky + 'ed and watch them all at once ( 90210, Gossip girl, your soaps)

Wear those shameful comfy items which are so worn they look bad because you dont care!

Make an imaginary wishlist on polyvore and gawk at the gorgeous things

Smile! and read that old magazine you love

Shop Shop Shop!!

Why dont you float up up far away

Why dont you float up up far away! This picture inspires me in so many ways, to buy a pink dress, spritz myself with miss dior cherie, want to walkalong the street with a handfull of balloons.

It makes me want to

Make mountains worth of popcorn doused in butter

Eat candy till i burst

Put pastel colours on my eyelids

Paint my nails a baby pink

Drink a ton of Koolaid on a hot summer's day

Pull out those pink wayfarers and walk down the street without caring what people think

Kristen Stewart and update on jackwills

Hi lovelies!

Two topics today!

Kristen Stewart!
Although i do not like Kristen Stewart, for a number of reasons, her red carpet/event style is beyond amazing. As you all may know i love twilight, its an addiction! Her character Bella is just played beautifully by her. However her personality stinks in interviews, seriously she acts like she is much better than this " twilight" and seems rather rude.

Now i cant say i really dislike her as i have never met her so who am i to judge

Here are my top favourite looks from her!

1. Her latest outfit, for the premiere of adventureland, shes wearing a Herve Leger! I just think this outfit is stunning, call me crazy but i love it!




2. Camilla and Marc dress for the twilight premiere in Paris, how gorgeous is that dress!

I love the fact that when she runs errands dressed how you and i do unlike most young Hollywood who are dressed up to the nines.



P.S how gorgeous is nikki reeds tan in that picture

2.

Jack Wills

Remember that shirt i bought? turns out it was faulty ( the embroidery, logo were the wrong colour) when i realised this i emailed jack wills, after no response i rang them. They then told me it was indeed faulty and to send back for an exchange.

I then received an email in response to my email, saying that it was not faulty and all of the shirts were this colour - Lie! After this i received an email telling me the shirt couldn't be exchanged as it had been sold out. I freaked out because it was their fault i lost out on the shirt! and they lied

I phoned up and complained, they told me to pick any thing on the website costing £60! as they will pay the rest ( the shirt cost £34, and the new season shirts cost £60) i bought a hoodie as they don't go down much in the sale and i will get another shirt in the sale!

Its super cute!

Pastels are a predicble trend for spring summer, like florals. But it seems like fashion has taken a different approach. I've seen such pretty but bright pastel denim in H&M, in a bright pale pink and a lovely lilac colour. Its also wormed its way into the cosmetic world ( i have a little surprise for you on this later in the post) with lilac lipsticks.




Lilac lipsticks are a huge hit with mac also, from the mac hello kitty collection. With Fashion mews pictured below and fast friends lipgloss.
Sorry for the lack of posts/post, blogger has being playing up lately. But i have good news, I have started a beauty blog over the weekend. it will be announce in the next few days but i decided to set it up with Wordpress!

Look!!

Look what arrived in the post, jack wills parcels always make my day!

I bought a really cute shirt, perfect for all seasons. I have plans for this top, how does a white tank, shirt open, a distressed mini for summer? I think striped shirts should in everyones wardrobe!


and i promised you guys swatches from the mac hello kitty collection! i bought popster tlc, swatch on the left ( much pinker in real life! its soo pretty and i want a back up!) and on the right, mimmy lipgloss!

I would really reccomend the tinted lip conditioners, before this collection i never gave them a thought, but seriously i want more! they are like lipsticks but apply like a lipbalm but has that tinted look!




The sunglases you were all waiting for arrived too! they are gorgeous and based on obviously the wayfarers! I bought them from a seller on ebay, Mixbaby, she also has an etsy shop and sells amazing headbands.

stud.


So big trend for spring, is studded or embellished shoes, its everywhere, and its a really wearable. Bearing in mind that this trend has been around for a few seasons, but is coming back with bigger and better shoes! This trends is going to be worthwhile as it wont look last season or dating.

These steve madden's come in at $129, the cute peeptoe, studded back tie and concealed platforms and from nordstrom.





These Diane von Furstenberg are seriously cute, the gold studs which look gold nuggets are just gorgeous. I seriously could see these being worn by everyone, a 20 old something, the trophy wife or the grandma on a cruise. They come in at $235 from nordstrom.



if heels aren't for you, these topshop fringed boots combine the fringe trend and studs. £32 from topshop.


The olsen twins made the Christian Louboutin Ariella boots, hugely popular and from there, studded shoes became popular again. If you like these boots, they are available from net a porter for $1150!!
