Ok enough of that.

I wish we had a holt renfrew in the UK, sadly its a canda only store like aritzia! But how stunning do the olsen twins look at opening of their line.
Ashley has always been my favourite twin. A fun fact for you guys, i used to obsessed with them when i was younger, and even now i can always tell them apart. Ashley on the right, Marykate on left! Im so copying that outfit ashley is wearing, just need some cute shorts, wouldn't it look cute with minnetonka's.

So we have alot of catching up to do, some haulage. I've been incredibly busy, back to school shopping and a certain animal in my life. Ive been looking after a horse at the yard where my mother's friend has a horse. Woah that was a mouthful!, anyway his name is blake and hes the most divine well mannered horse ever, im having a lesson tomorrow after 4 years not having riden!! So freaking excited, its lovely to be around horses again.

Haulage!


Shampooey and conditioner, from tigi, my hair has been a nightmare lately due to dryness from all the dying. Im trying to get to peak condition, using protein treatment, no heat and an good haircare! I'd like to add its been three weeks since i've used my CHI's!


Clinique's even better foundation - i've been needing something more than my tinted moisturiser and this seemed the perfect solution as its a medium coverage and it evens out your skin tone over time!!

Mac 239 brush- OMG you have to get this! £17's is a lot for a brush and ive always chickened out when buying! But it struck me the other day, whats the point of spending lots on makeup if the tools you use dont show them to their advantage!! It makes eyeshadow application better, smoother and it looks stunning!!

Essie- Finally arrived!! From left to right, funny face, lovie dovie and wicked! Better than opi!

Not a detailed and great post but i promise i have some exciting things to review soon!

xoxo

Obsession - nail polish


Some women love a spritz of perfume, or gorgeous underwear to make them feel pretty, moi i love nail polish. Looking down at my hands, and seeing perfectly manicured nails adding a pop of colour.

Im so much of an addict that i went into Boots for some shampoo and conditioner to tame those locks of mine and accidently a nail polish popped into my basket. Usually im a nail polish snob, i only tend to buy from Essie or OPI but this Revlon sucker was pure seduction, hence the name " Plum Seduction". Somehow it manages to be a purpley, pinky raspberry colour, which when applied, pure and simply looks darling.

See..

I've ordered some nail polishes for winter,
a simple bubblegum pink- Essie Lovie Dovie
A bright pale creme raspberry- Essie Funny Face
Deep blackened berry red - Essie Wicked

Gorgeous no?

Check out my to read list!


Oh and im now the proud owner of,

~~Ahhhh!! The Iphone 3GS, in white!! I would have had to waited a week for it to arrive online and my carphonewarehouse was a week's wait too. But a spur of the moment shopping trip caused the iphone to be mine! my O2 shop had it in stock, i really couldnt contain my excitement, like opening a present at christmas. All i have to say is that, once you get an iphone you will never go back!

Pressing Play

I've made a vow not to use the word " So" as much, because really i use it too much.

Wondering what this post is about?

Outfits, using my hauls, more about myself.


Topic Uno

On the 3rd of Septemeber, im finally pressing play on my life, after being 3 years stuck on pause. Those three years of being homeschooled, not sure if you guys knew that, are finally coming an end. My life is changing, im starting sixth form, making new friends, enjoying life to it fullest. Ditching those old sweats and tee, to waking up everyday wearing what i want!
There is so many things i wonder,
" Will i be liked?"
" Will i do good in school?"
" Will i fit in?"

Its a daunting and exciting thing all rolled into one, with so so many things to do!
Seriously, its going to be something so new for me, im going to be working my butt off to get the grades and catch up, partying with new friends, guys and keeping up with blog.

I hope i wont neglect you, blog and readers but this is such an important part of my life, you cant even understand, this 2 years define what i do for my future, who i am. There's things that people would not need to do, like buying a keychain, a new phone ( mine died last year and i didnt really need it), Lots of new shoes as im more of a flipflop or uggs kind of girl. Stationary!clothes also i desperatley need to find a job!

This is really the first part of alot of hauls!
I Bought these from delias, the minnetonka's were on sale for... $50!!! thats half price. I also bought some Essie polishes in Wicked, lovie dovie and funny face.




I feel like bella, from twilight.

Let loose, be yourself always

Sienna Miller- style icon of the month

So my life support isnt working at the moment ie twitter, so i thought to myself why not blog as i have been neglecting you guys. Well today's post about;
Sienna Miller, ive never really paid much attention to her, but lately with release of GI joe i couldnt notice how fab her style and makeup is! Somehow she seems to create that effortless chic that i aspire to, that mk & ashley seem to achieve.




"baby you can drive my car"
Im simply in love with her new boss orange perfume advert, it personifies everything that's i and most girls aspire to, that free spirit, confidence, effortless beauty/makeup.

Love her makeup? Good me too! i was flipping through the latest tatler when i stumbled across her talking about her fave makeup items!
Concealer- mac studio finish ( my favourite too)

Bronzer - Nars pressed powder in heat

Mascara - Ysl faux cils
Lips - By terry baume des rose


Shes hated for her men choice, Balthazar getty anyone? But her fashion is to die for!
