Magpie-ism is the term I like to use to describe the chronic disorder of being completely and utterly devoted to anything shiny, metallic or glittery. In winter especially, when the dark nights call for a little bit of sparkle to light up my life, this trait comes out in full force, especially in my nail polish choices.First up is a recent discovery in Gosh Nail Lacquer in Purple Heart, which is

This is what I wore this weekend on a wee trip down the ‘flicks’ to see Breaking Dawn, which I must say is freaking amazing! I have accidentally fallen back in love with Edward Cullen again, and that movie completely rejuvenated my past love affair with Twilight, which had been diminishing slightly after reading the whole series five times!Jeans - Primark, Jumper - H&M, Shirt - PrimarkIt was

This was an outfit post I did a while ago near the end of summer but never posted about. I got this cute little dress from H&M and I love it; not only if it bright and colourful, perfect for summer but its a really great colour for Autumn as well matched with a brown belt put over the top of the waistband. I love my Warehouse denim jacket because it is perfect to wear the whole way through the

Recently, my blog has been transferred from a fashion and beauty blog to more of a fashion and lifestyle blog. This is because I have decided that I have a great love for food photography and the display and colouring of the meals we buy when we are dining out. These images are also from my trip to Edinburgh when I was visiting my sister and we had yet another amazing meal, were I wasn't

The beautiful Emily from Emily Divine and I ventured together up to Shaftesbury Avenue last Saturday for another gorgeous Aussie Hair Care Event. The evening was filled with Champagne on entrance, half naked waiters carrying scrumptious canape's of chicken and vegetables, glasses of wine, hair stylists, make up artists, ladies painting nails, goodie bags, photographers and finally lots of

Now its getting into November, the nights are getting darker, the weather colder and the school workload heavier. However, a new school term calls for just one thing. A new mental attitude to learning? A new pencil case? No, a new sixth form wardrobe of course!Over half term I took a little trip down to Oxford Street with the sole objective of obtaining as many new sixth form clothes as humanely

My hair has always been a bit of an oddball. It can never make up its mind what colour it wants to be, switching constantly from a little bit blonde to a little bit brown to a little bit grey (especially after a dry shampoo disaster!). Its always had natural blonde highlights running through it which especially come out in the sun, which look almost ginger at times... and don't even get me

Its amazing what a little sugar and lip gloss can do!The pictures above are the products of my talented friend Rhia’s photography A Level coursework, of which I had the privilege to be used as a model. To be honest, this is not what would be described as hard work; eating sugar, applying lip gloss and pouting are all routine tasks in my world!I love the effect sugar has, especially in the last

Bit annoying, but for some reason Blogger won't let my pictures be any bigger than this, but I suppose it will have to do! This selection of images are from a gorgeous restaurant in Edinburgh called Hamilton's that my sister took me to today, and it was devine. We had a table of six and all sat down to adorable meals varying from fish finger sandwiches and parsnip chips to chicken and bacon

This week was a momentous moment in any new Boots employee's life… Double Discount Day, the day on which our 11.5% on non-boots brands and 22.5% on boots own ranges discount is doubled, meaning huge savings and a chance to build up those all important Boots points. And what do points make…? Prizes!I accumulated a huge pile of ‘must haves’ in my basket and I am a little ashamed to say I spent £70

Can you believe in this day and age that I have never actually owned a laptop and have been tapping away for the past few years on my old family computer downstairs! I've never been a huge techno geek, or particularly interested in anything that involves complicated machinery, but once I'd saved a few pennies (which is a difficult task when your a makeup obsessive!) I decided it was time to

Rimmel Lipstick in Nude DelightI love how this lipstick is like none that I have had previously and is so much more brown/beige toned than my usual go-to nudes but so wearable its perfect for everyday wear.

Hey Guys! Sorry I've been a bit useless recently, a lot has been going on and I'm doing everything in my power to surround myself with happy people and happy situations! For example, last Saturday I went out with a friend from work after coming back from holiday in Mallorca. I wore a cute new sleeveless playsuit from the 'Glamorous' range from ARK for £26.99 which I think shows off my tan pretty

Being able to wear nail polish freely, without a teacher yelling, screaming or having a breakdown at the fact my nails are coloured is extremely new to me. Now I have so much more freedom with my 'uniform code', nail colour is a necessity, is is quickly becoming my obsession. For years I had wondered what all the fuss was about regarding nail polish, but recently my love for all things nail

The best and worst part of entering the daunting new world of Sixth Form at school is without a doubt the clothes. On the good side, spending mother's money on a few new dresses is always a fun experience, especially when you can claim your beautiful new skirt is 'school uniform' to guilt said mother into buying it for you, mwahah. However, as I have discovered, not having to wear a uniform to

I went off gallivanting abroad for a week to Cala D'or in Majorca, which is the most beautiful place in the world. Well, that may be a slight exaggeration, but its marina is stunning and we stayed in a lovely little apartment near the main town and just a few minutes walk from the marina.It was such a nice little holiday consisting mainly of lemming by the pool, hanging with the 'crew' (mum, dad

Last week, I went to Edinburgh with my mum to go see my sister and also visit the Fringe Festival. It was so much fun and the weather held out a lot better than I thought it would, which is always lovely for Edinburgh! I have been a bit useless with blogging recently as I have really wanted to spend as much time as possible with my friends and family. This is because I have realised that what is

So I started my job at Boots about a month ago... and so far I love it. Long hours, grumpy customers and sore feet aside, its a lovely store, with lovely people and even lovelier surrounding (makeup... ahem) and I can definitely see myself staying there a good while, although my bank balance surely isn't thanking me for it! Being surrounded by products all day makes me crave new makeup and

Last Thursday I attended the Create! Makeup Workshop at the V&A museum in London, which was basically a day filled with makeup, makeup and just a little bit more makeup. The artist leading it was Mel Winning, who is a fantastic makeup artist, and during the workshop we had a little look around the theatre part of the museum, had a talk on makeup artistry from Mel and had a chance to practise our

One lovely Saturday I got on a bus and ventured to London for the day for fashion shows, croissants, bloggers, fashion designers, gorgeous people and lots of cameras. This was the first London Africa Fashion Week and I felt that it really showed all the stereotypical aspects of how people view African women and fashion, but also they showed the development of how African fashion has developed and

My hair has never been a fan of change. Difference in humidity, weather or even products can cause a major hair fail, and it is safe to say my hair is a little stuck in its ways. So when it comes to partings, its difficult to shift my regular side part in any other direction without causing a mass of messy, confused locks on top of my head! *cue creepy picture of me attempting to show my parting.

So now i'm a single lady, I can either sit around and mope or get up and out and spend time with my beautiful friends and family. Understandably, this doesn't fix a broken heart from a relationship of two and a half years; but neither does crying in bed with ice cream. So I decided that I would get dressed up with my best friend and go out on the town. Only two pictures to show this but basically

Lately, the one and only type of product that is allowed to colour my cheeks this summer has been cream blush, no matter the weather. Cream blush is my ultimate makeup weakness... as well as lipsticks and eyeshadows, ahem. I don't know what it is about the standard cream blush that makes it so superior to the bland and boring powder version. Maybe it's the dewy finish? The soft texture? Or maybe

I know this is meant to be a fashion and beauty blog, but sometimes things just have to change. When you have a feeling of inspiration you just have to go with it, you must enjoy and share all that is important around you and make sure others appreciate what they have too.  A while ago I went to an outdoor production of 'The Importance of Being Ernest' with my family.

Blazer - H&M; Shirt - Primark; Skirt - H&MAs some of you may know, for the past few months (starting frantically on the eve of my 16th birthday) I have been searching high and low for a job.

This top is a little something that I bought in the most recent Topshop Sale for £20. The shape is unlike a lot of other tops that I have in my cupboard as I usually pick more fitted and shapely items. This top worked perfectly with my high waisted denim jeans as this top does seem slightly cropped and I didn't want my belly on show! As this top is so bright, wearing other bold colours could seem

This post is completely, 100% devoted to my makeup collection, and it is quite possibly the most exciting post to me that I have ever done, sad but true.I have been building up my makeup collection over about 3 years, and although is it by no means as large as some other giant collections, I am actually weirdly proud of all my makeup! Generally, I buy all my products myself (with exceptions on

Sometimes there are exceptions for the rules of fashion. Like blue and black don't always go together or you shouldn't wear clashing colours, but in more modern times clashing colours together seems to work well. Although my red colours are not overly obvious, I tried to incorporate little coloured items to compliment each other. Later in the day, I happily went along to the nail salon and had my

As useless as I am for only just posting this a few weeks after it happened, I'm glad its finally up! This selection of images is from an AMAZING day I had with my best friend Alice at the Lusciously Light Aussie Hair Care Product Soiree, in which we went up to London to have yummy food, drink yummy drinks and have our hair done in yummy ways. It was such a lovely day and it was so lovely to meet

The apparent 'biggest day of a girl's life except her wedding day'; Prom, was last Thursday, and although I don't buy into the great importance of Prom, it was an exceptionally good night! I've never been one to gush and dream about Prom, so while all my friends had been envisaging their outfits since Year 7, I only really got excited a few weeks prior to the event. Although my expectations

After picking up the beautiful Maybelline Gel Liner the other day, it has integrated into my daily makeup routine, displacing the old ELF Cream Liner that used to be my liner of choice. The Maybelline version is a lot creamier, easier to work with and also includes a lovely little brush which is perfect for creating a multitude of different lines. I was recently inspired by the wonderful Lisa

On a little trip out to town to root around for a suitable prom bag (which, of course, I didn't even end up getting!) I accidentally on purpose spent money that I just don't have to spend! June has been an absolutely crazy month, with about a trillion birthday presents and parties to pay for, not to mention Prom, and my bank account has been seriously suffering!

 Firstly, I wanted to share one of my favourite songs right now. Although this is not a new song, I have been re-introduced to gorgeous female singers such as the delightful Corinne Bailey Ray, Lissie and The Pierces. Great songs for the summer and the long lighter evenings. Talking of that, it was in fact the longest day of this year today and it was lovely having the bright light sky outside

These images have come from the Oasis Clothing Press display rooms on Regent Street. A few weeks ago, I had the honour of interning with the Press Office team and I learnt so much. All of the images below are from two collections, the current spring/summer 2011 range and also the autumn/winter 2011 range about to come out.

Its no secret that I absolutely love massive, voluminous messy hair, but with fine hair this is always a challenge to achieve without backcombing the hell out of my roots.

I seriously love the pattern of these and how they are a bit more daring than I normally go for. Of course, the best part is that they look a little cow print-esque and cow things always seem to attract me... I may

Here are some images I took a while ago at my university when KT Tunstall performed. It was such an honour to be asked and I loved every minute of it. I hadn't heard loads of her new pieces so it was great to hear it all from the front, literally less than a metre away from her. Tell me what you think...?

Having fine, flat hair and not using heat is normally a complete disaster and my hair is very difficult to work with when I do absolutely nothing to it. Consequently, I have developed a range of different methods of styling my hair using the technique of leaving damp hair to dry into a style. There are a million different ways I use to create waves and volume in my hair, which I have posted about

When it comes to what I slap onto my skin, I like to keep things reasonably simple and gentle. My skin is by no means perfect or blemish free- however I do think that it has improved noticeably by using a regular skincare routine.In the past I've had some major skin disasters: massive spot outbreaks, random oiliness and allergic reactions to too strong cleansers; do not use Nuetrogena Visibly

Oasis launches its New Vintage Collection for Summer 2011. The collection takes inspiration from original ’50s vintage dresses and kitsch floral prints with the addition of a few modern day twists. The design team were fascinated by this year's biggest small-screen phenomenon and fashion sensation, Mad Men and strived to replicate the outfits from the ’50s era to rival them. The capsule

With 13 down and just 7 to go (the easy ones, thank god!) summer is literally within touching distance and I cannot wait.

Red is very on trend right now. Only today did I buy my first pair of red jeans from Zara. Over the past few weeks I have been trying to think about what other items would go with red jeans without looking too garish. What do you think? Any colour ideas to match with red such as blues or greens? Or keep it simple with more neutral colours such as whites and creams? Soon I'll show you how I made

Summer's here in full force and its time to start baring legs to the world, however if your legs are as pale as mine you'd understand that skirts, shorts and anything else leg-baring is a big no-no for me until I get a bit of fake tan going. In previous years I have tried countless tanners- St Moriz, Dove, Garnier, to name but a few, however none of them really wow-ed me like I believe a fake tan

As many of you may have read in my previous 'hair journey' post, me and my hair have a love-hate relationship. I cut off a lot of my hair (to just above shoulder length) a few years ago and ever since have been desperately seeking the perfect hair growing methods to get my hair back to its original state with long flowing locks!

I recently made this collage on Polyvore with some of my favourite items from Topshop at the moment. The whole outfit is something that I would love to wear out at the moment. In the day time, I would put it with the red and gold sandals and at night put those caramel coloured bad boy heels on.

A few years ago I was a huge fan of dry shampoo; it was a complete life saver when my hair was a huge messy grease-bomb and I just could not be bothered to wash it out. However after a while I started to notice my normal Batiste dry shampoo was making my hair look dull and almost grey (eeek!), so to prevent this 'premature ageing' of the hair, I switched to washing my hair more regularly, not

I'm sure everyone knows that the current trend for trousers is the Palazzo trouser.The ultimate trend for style AND comfort. I don't currently own a pair due to lack of funds, but I would love to fit myself into a pair of these. Although they are at a higher price than I would have hoped, they will be a key item for all summer wardrobes. These gorgeous trousers can easily work it in the day time

Many of you may know that I am a big believer in finding a bargain. Especially if it is a copy of something that I have wanted for a while! Now when I was younger and lived in Hertfordshire and Essex areas, we used to go to this amazing market (unfortunately not for vintage etc items) but instead for little bargains of accessories or 'cabbage' items - which are were a company over produces items

I've seen so many of these type of 'life' posts on so many other blogs (namely the lovely Laura's) so as I adore reading them I thought I'd have a go myself. Let me know if you would like to see more of these slightly more personal posts!On Saturday I met up with an old friend for a jolly little shopping trip into town, and despite having no money I still managed to pick up some cheap goodies

Hey guys, hope all is well with everyone! This post is about my new favourite colour - turquoise. Now more recently, I have been trying out neutral colours matched with a key bright colour . So what better than simple neutral clothing with a brightly coloured item of jewellery. Most of these pieces are small and I wouldn't necessarily wear them together but I like the idea of adding something

*ZOMGGG* I got attacked by an alien... ...or something to that effect.OK, so maybe that was a slight exaggeration; I wasn't as much attacked by an alien, but by a fit of complete and utter boredom.Revision seems to be taking over my life and I feel like I am turning into a stay-at-home hermit the amount of time I am forced to sit at home swatting, surrounded by piles upon piles of those damn CGP

I got this cute top from Next not long ago for an amazing £10 in the sale!! I was looking around for something polka dot for ages so when it happened to be in a shirt as well this was double my luck! I have only been wearing it casually in the day time so far but I think it would look really nice with a skirt, black tights and heels. I've matched it here with my Topshop High Waisted Jeans and my

 My hair and I have a very fragile relationship.Only recently has it reached a length which I deem suitable for my head after months and months of it being stuck at that 'awkward' length which takes forever to grow out.About three years ago I chopped of my lovely, long hair to just above my shoulder, thinking it would make me look sophisticated and grown up, however it seemed to achieve just the

As a reward for finishing my Art GCSE course a few weeks back I decided to allow myself a little, sneaky purchase from MAC, taking full advantage of their 'free mascara with every purchase' offer. At the top of my wish list was Hush Cream Colour Base, a product which I had been lusting after ever since a visit to the store in half term, so I parted ways with £16 (including postage) and received

Recently, I got this cute little T-Shirt from the lovely ladies at Aussie Haircare Angels.The 'Lusciously Light' products are all about improving your hair and making it glossy and light as the name suggests. A while ago the Angels sent us a balloon asking if we would rather have a 'lusciously lighter self' or 'lusciously lighter hair style', for months ahead, I picked 'self'. With this top we

Today is the 15th April, which although may be an ordinary date for some, for me it is my blogiversary- woo whooooo!Precisely a year ago today, this little blog was born, and it has been thriving even since. I want to thank all of my amazing 629 followers for all their support, help and kindness that you have given this little blog in its one year running, and I couldn't be more grateful!I feel

 So I bought this top yesterday from 'New Look' for an amazing £18!I never really wear very bright clothes and when I saw this I instantly new that I had to give it a try. Although I am not very high on the old funds front at the moment, I was feeling like spoiling myself as I was on a nice day out with my friend. Especially as it was in the sale with a big red sticker on it, I knew it meant I

Trying to attain the perfect beauty blogger picture, showcasing your makeup to the max and having perfect expression/lighting is certainly not as easy as it sounds. Over the past few months I've accumulated quite a few mug shots/bloopers which, to be honest, are shameful! But hey, they were destined for the blog so here they are...'how you doinnn'?'*oink oink*My sister is going to murder me...

As far as elaborate jewellery goes, I'm not a huge fan. Give me a diamond necklace or a Thomas Sabo bracelet and I wont be particularly interested, however give me a great big smacker of a ring and wow, your my new best friend :)I don't know what it is about rings, but for me, they are the only type of accessory I wear on a regular basis, and I'm consistently drawn in by their normally intricate

Firstly I would like to say, I really appreciate my newest follower count so much :) I love each and every one of you! And to celebrate this achievement, what better than a post about cake. My sister lives in Edinburgh and runs a baking association called 'Bake Nation'. Therefore my trip to Edinburgh consisted of shopping and eating or 'testing' cakes as my sister preferred to put it!

Over the past year Aussie hair care have invited me to some pretty amazing events including the above party at a swanky London club and although I have not been able to attend all of the events, I really appreciate the opportunities they have offered to me. Whilst being able to meet other bloggers at the events, they have also sent the Aussie Angels many products to try out. Here are some images

A few months ago, I was in a complete and utter hair rut, not knowing what to do about my dry, lackluster, flat hair. I was even blogging out my misery at my damn hair and its rebellious way, which were driving me to the extremes, check out the post here!

Pixi2woo is one of my absolute favourite beauty guru's on YouTube, and her makeup tutorials are some of the best, in my opinion. One of her latest is based on Beyonce's makeup in the music video for Why Don't You Love Me and the makeup was so beautiful I just had to give it a go... I absolutely adore this makeup, its soft but also very bold and I'm really embracing big black flicks in my eyeliner
