Small Haul | Boots,Topshop & Ebay

Hello Everyone! Sorry I haven't posted a lot recently! I have had a very bad and hectic week but luckily I still have a blog to help me de-stress and forget about school :) So recently, I completely splashed out and treated myself to some new gear, so I thought you would like to see what I bought with my leftover birthday money!
The first thing I bought was the 'Mighty Black leather Zip boots' from Topshop. These boots are probably the royalty of shoes! They are such good quality with a simple yet absolutely gorgeous design. They also feel extremely comfortable and with all these aspects considered, I think £45 is a bargain for such genuine and beautiful shoes. They have a Zip detail on the outside of each shoe and a heel no bigger than 3 inches, which means you can either were them causally or to a smart event/party, such amazing little shoes these are! The only thing that I would say is that they are big fitting, so I suggest that whatever size you are, you get the next size down :) 

The next thing was the Models own range of nail polishes in 'Grapefruit' & 'Golden Peach' which are such pretty names for such pretty nail polishes! The grapefruit is a pastel lilac which I found (depending on the lighting) can be seen as pink or purple, which is really interesting and different compared to most nail polishes. But it is such a nice and summery colour, it brightens up any and every outfit. The only bad thing I would day is that even with 2 coats it starts to chip after a day or so, which isn't the best of quality but for such a pretty colour, I can accept the little imperfections. 

After that, I still have some spending juice left and so I decided to buy the Chicago Lions jersery top from Topshop. I have had my eye on this for sometime now and so I was overjoyed when I went to buy it and found out that there was a 50% discount! I bought it two sizes too big as I like baggy jumpers, however I feel that if I did buy my actual size it would still be a good fitting. I really like this top because of the colour and design. 

Believe it or not, I then went on to buy two more things! I bought the dog tee from Ebay, however it was originally from Lazy Oaf, one of my favourite stores! The top is cropped, but not half-way-up-your-tummy cropped, just a little of the bottom. There is also a really nice contrast between the black sleeves and the grey design, which I think works well to create a unique design. It also has a bat-wing sleeve. 

The last and by no means least thing I bought was the 'Sounds Like Good' tee from The Midnight Beast store. I love this design because it's colourful yet simple and once again it's not particularly tight. You ould wear it with anything as it's a white top!

What have you bought recently? 
~Thank you for reading!~

Nail Varnish / Catch up!

Hello everyone! It feels like it's been forever since I last posted! I didn't post of Friday because It was the first night I literally had nothing to do: no revision, no homework. Just relaxing and looking forward to having this next week off. Also, I was ill with a typical cold so I had to take a break, sorry!

Ok well, I have decided that this 'Music Monday' thing isn't going too well! I have missed about 3 weeks of it and if i'm honest, I don't enjoy writing them as if you put a hobby into a schedule, it turns into a job, and because I procrastinate that means it's another thing to put off! So I might just post about my favourite songs when I feel that there are songs that need to be recognised. 
Now that's out of the way, lets get on with the post!

If you have read some of my previous posts, you would know that I completely feel in love with the 'Kelly Brook' Nail polish range (you can read about it here) and today when I went on a cheeky shopping trip, I finally found them in Newlook, right on the bottom shelf!

This is pobably the nicest nail polish I own! It's such a nice summery colour and just generally makes me happy. It is a really rich peach colour, however leaning more towards orange than pink. Obviously, because it's peach it's called 'Peach Pop" which is a cute name for a cute colour. My friend (Holly) also bought a Kelly Brook Nail polish which happened to be 'Pretty n' Pink' and it was a really nice bubblegum pink if you're interested.(I think I might be into Peach this month seeing as I also bought a peach top)
I am aware that you can get a peach colour in pretty much every nail polish range, but I promise you this is like no other, it's the prettiest peach there is :)
Well I hope you enjoyed this and I shall speak to you soon!

Some Beautiful Nail Polishes

Hello everyone! So I normally I do a post on Friday nights and not over the weekend, but seeing as I didn't do one Friday night (because I was crying over My Mad Fat Diary, It's too soon to talk about it) So I thought I'd do a surprise blog post...SURPRISE! 
Right so completely accidentally I came across the nicest nail polish's when I was surfing the internet and I thought I'd spend the love and show you!
(Picture from Handbag.com)
Right so this is the first bunch of beauties. These are by Kelly Brook and are literally called 'Kelly Brook' . I have only seen them online and I can't find where to buy them, but apparently and hopefully (fingers crossed) their home is New Look. I have fallen totally in love with the 3 Peach/light pink colours in the top left picture! They just look absolutely amazing and I think if I ever see these in real life then I'll literally take the whole shelf!
(Picture from Boots.com)
Right so, these babies are from the Maybelline brand and they are called  "Maybelline Color Show Nail Polish". As you can see they look pretty amazing from the picture, so just wait until you see the colours! There are so so many colours to choose from in this range so good luck trying to decide on a favourite. The colours that I would get (going from left to right) are: Wine Shimmer,  Orange Attack (what a beauty), Moss, and Peach Smoothie, although I practically love all of them!


What ones would you get?
The article about Kelly Brook's Nail varnish collection is here
                   
      The Maybelline Colour show is here
