If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it...

..or ring(s) in this case!
ring on the left is some oldie - similar to the likes of Christmas cracker gifts,
top right we have an arrow ring from accessorize (a while back) 
bottom right a scaraby thingy ma bongy type ring £1 from Spitalfields market (bought with my fellow blogger pal Alexa (<--click and follow!)

Here are my...erm, hands of the day? - a new blogging trend perhaps? ok, maybe not!

Just got back from a little pop to the shops. I tried on some high waisted jeans which I had previously been eyeing up online in topshop but I didn't think they were very flattering on me...maybe it's just my body shape...or maybe I need to resume my dates with Jillian Michaels....but for now, tonight I have some Haagen Daaz Belgian Chocolate planned (only £2.50 in tesco fyi :)

I love a good night in - how about you?
Have you got any exciting plans for the weekend? And do you have any good tips for buying jeans?

Bad Blogger --> Blue Leopard?

I am a sorry excuse for a blogger these days...I shall make no promises of frequent posts...but do these tack-fastic nails make up for it?
Let me know if you want to know how to do these leopard print nails, so next time I will take step by step photographs :)


 stupid photo ^ is out of focus.. 
that's better...a little smudged but for a first try, I'm really happy with the results!

Love it? Hate it?
Let me know!

Iridescent Index Finger



So...I painted my nails 292 Barry M navy..
and then BAM slapped on the pink iridescence
Apologies for the chipped nails in the photos 
but I'm about to change my polish but wanted 
to blog about this combo...having a glittery 
nail polish on its own is a pretty fabulous idea
as it means you can make any mundane nail
varnish 
into a tacky coat of gorgeousness.

Yeah, I know glitter can scream 'TACK' at you
but..erm...who cares? Depending on how you wear
it, it can look quirky and cool..yes, COOL.
In fact, I think that painting just one or two 
nails with the glitter is quite a fun look too.

The pink in the pink one doesn't show up
so much - it's mainly just glitter
and the navy, well I love this colour.
I love Barry M nail polish.
SUCH good value for the £££

At the time I bought the 264 Pink Iridescent,
there was a 2 for £5 offer on in Boots,
and a 3 for 2 offer on in Superdrug..
Barry M often have an offer on somewhere,
so shop around!I went with the 3 for 2
...better value (by a few pennies ;)
-got a bright orange colour and a coral for my Mumma, 
in case you were wondering!


Enjoyed your week and weekend?
My workload from school is increasing,
and my blog-life is suffering the consequences.
Will try and do better this week munchkins,

Red Hot

There's nothing like a splash of red 
to make you feel...."hot hot hot!"
(had to be done)

Bought this 'Astor' nail polish in Poland a while back..
While application and drying time are really quick,
the colour chips like an utter nightmare...
Best stick to Barry M for good value for money :)


Red hot chilli pepper earrings!
(bought at Belfast market, Ireland)
I am a huge fan of quirky jewellery that is more
unique than the pieces on offer in topshop or h&m...
(don't get me wrong..I love their accessories too:)


The classic converse...oh so comfortable and versatile
(these are from office, but you can also buy online)


and what is more iconic and chic than a
red lip..above all, on Marilyn Monroe.

Thoughts?
