Nails #13

 

Hello lovelies!

 

I thought we were over due a nail post, so here are a few I've been wearing over the past few months.

 

Top left: Sinful Colors - Pink Forever & Barry M - Silver Glitter.

Now these were my birthday nails! I have to admit, I go over the top with pink & glitter when it's my birthday.. & not just on my nails.. I mean everything! I love doing the 'dip-dye' effect with a glitter polish, just adds that little something extra.

 

Top right: NYC - Mint Macaroon & L'Oreal - Confetti.

Not sure what the occasion was for these nails but I think they are perfect for Easter. They remind me of a speckled egg!

 

Bottom left: Accessorize - Blackberry.

Not very appropriate as we're coming into Spring & now the weather has transformed here in the UK, but I can't seem to get enough of this shade.

 

Bottom right: Barry M - Silver Glitter.

These were my nails for Dave & Debbie's wedding last month. I had a dark red dress with silver accessories so this varnish matched perfectly. It's one of my favourites. Unlike most glitter polishes, it's so easy to remove. You don't have to sit there for hours soaking & scrubbing your nails in varnish remover! Perfect as I find that one of the most frustrating things ever!

 

Which is your favourite design?

I'm about to go have a rummage in my collection for some pastels now as the sun has come out! : )

Hat - Ebay / Smock fox dress - ASOS / Tights & belt - Primark / Converse - Schuh / Nails - Accessorize, Blackberry / Rings - Etsy & F. Hinds / Watch - F. Hinds / Lipstick - Star Pink

 Morning lovelies!

 

This was my outfit a few days ago when I went into town to meet the girls for a catchup & some pancakes! Can you believe it was actually sunny when I first started taking these photos, then the clouds came over. Gah hurry up Spring! Anyway, on to the outfit! I'm absolutely in love with this new smock dress I got from ASOS. I picked it up in the sale (I remember it being massive among bloggers a few months back) & I can easily see why. I do really like the over-sized smock look, but this one resembles a tent! I paired it with a old trusty Primark belt & converse to give it a chilled vibe. Also, I can't fail to mention my new hat. How adorable is this?! I managed to find one on Ebay, as none of the ones I'd previously found in any high street stores had been calling my name. I picked this one up for around £7 (that included postage) Such a bargain.

 

I went to a Customer Training Course yesterday up in London. You have no idea how scared & important I felt! Most of you know, I work in my local theatre / cinema & so the idea of the course was to get new ideas for up-selling & understanding customer behaviour. It was actually very interesting, & although I was so so so nervous (mainly about the course but also the travelling up there) I had the most lovely people around me that I was so grateful for. I'm actually excited to go into work today & try out the new ideas.. it must have been a good course eh? : )

 

& finally, lent has begun. It's totally snuck up on me this year, I haven't even thought about what to give up..

Have you given up anything?

Dave & Debbie's Wedding

 

Hello lovelies,

 

Just wanted to do a quick post to update you on a few things before I head to Gloucester for the weekend.

 

If you read my previous post, you would have known I was chief bridesmaid to my Uncle & his new wife, Debbie, the weekend before last. I was totally honoured & privileged to have been apart of their wedding, it was simply beautiful. They got married in a old-fashioned church, followed by their reception in our local country pub. I love how weddings bring families together & I've managed to contact some of my cousins I didn't even recognise! (slightly embarrassing smiling at them not knowing who they were till I was introduced.. or should I say re-introduced..) & before we move on from the wedding.. how adorable does James look?! I managed to get his tie on Ebay for £1.99 & it matched my dress perfectly. Total bargain. ; )

 

Last week was half term & I survived. Yes, I'm one of the lucky ones. Working in the cinema has it's negatives.. half term is one of them..

 

Oh & Valentines! I managed to get all my gifts around to my girls (except one.. Boop yours is still in my fridge!) & myself & James went to Pizza Express for the most filling, delicious 3 course meal you can imagine. How did you celebrate?

 

I'm about to rush around now & pack my bag tonight as I'm off to Gloucester tomorrow straight from work! Hope you're all well lovelies & I hope you have a fabulous weekend. : )

Valentine's Day Preparation

Hello lovelies, how are you all?

 

Now I know some of you will hate Valentines Day. I personally love it. You're probably thinking "Yes Cat, because you're in a relationship". And yes. I admit, Valentines Day is a lot better when you're with someone, but that doesn't mean you can't celebrate it.

 

Every year I try to make all my girls feel special, this year is no exception..

 

I'm in the process of wrapping their gifts & they'll be delivered this week. It's only something small, but I think everybody should know they're loved on Valentines.

 

If you're like me, you will have probably;

 

- planned your outfit (for day time & evening)

- planned day & evening activities 

- painted your nails with a valentines theme

- & finally bought & wrapped your valentines presents.

 

Am I a little obsessed? Maybe..

 

However, this year is slightly different for me (& more exciting!) I'm going to be chief bridesmaid at my Uncle's wedding this Saturday, so Valentine's Day will be spent at the rehearsal at the church, followed by blowing up 150 balloons for the reception. However, myself & James have managed to squeeze in a romantic dinner at Pizza Express before hand!

 

How are you all celebrating?

 

Lots of love

Wishlist - So In Fashion

Hello lovelies, happy February!

 

Thought I'd share a few pieces from this gorgeous website I've recently discovered. After seeing one of my favourite bloggers Katy modelling a beautiful dress from there, I just had to check out the other items they had to offer.

 

 

1 - Floral swing dress - I don't actually own any swing dresses, which is crazy because I'm madly in love with them. I think this will look adorable in Summer.

 

2 - Lace top - How beautiful is this top? I think it would look so cute under a jumper for Winter or just paired with disco pants for a night out.

 

3 - Lace clutch - This caught my eye because it's such a unique item & will jazz up any outfit on a night out.

 

4 - Triangle necklace - Another beautiful piece to add a statement to an outfit.

 

5 - Fluffy cropped jumper - I've seen so many of these jumpers around recently & most of them are double the price of this one. -cough Topshop cough- I actually adore this sleeve length, adds something different to just a plain jumper.

 

6 - Polka dot skirt - Anything black & white I immediately think of work. I don't have a uniform, it just has to be smart, presentable & either black or white. Midi skirts are my favourite things to wear.

 

7 - Monochrome skater dress - Again, so so so pretty & it's in the sale! I couldn't say no.

Have you bought anything from this website before? What's your favourite item? : )
