Mary Katrantzou ... oh to be an heiress!

If I had a lot of money, I would track down and buy ever single dress from Mary Katrantzou's AW09 collection. It is just the best thing ever. They really would be worth every single penny. I just adore them! I often find myself googling these images and I never get bored of looking at them. I just love them!!!

Review! Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil 002 Hazel

My eyebrows are fairly pale, so I often like to darken them up slightly, I like the texture of this eyebrow pencil, but I can help but feel my eyebrows end up looking really ginger when I use this. I'm not really sure who this eyebrow pencil is meant for, because it is a really odd colour. Maybe I need to try it in brown, but I wouldn't recommend this eyebrow pencil, purely because of the colour. The price is good, but it's a waste of money if it doesn't work for your colouring.

Stop Staring dresses!

I have been buying these dresses for years and years, I used to have to buy them online at daddyos.com, however, now they are all over the UK. They are still great little dresses, they often come up a little longer than you would expect, but only because they are replica dresses, and back in the day they were designered to be slightly below the knee. 50s style dresses from the 50s high street usually are designed to sit on the knee, so enjoy having a longer dress length!
Here are a few of my favorite Stop Staring dresses, they have been making all these styles for years, but they still look fantastic. These dresses have not really dated, so if you do buy a Stop Staring dress, you can enjoy the fact it will still look great in a few years!

Jumping on the COS bandwagon

I'm just loving COS at the moment, simple chic dresses, great prices, great quality and really nice pieces. Loving the simple black dresses, really smart but also perfect if you want a beautifully cut simple dress to wear statement jewellery with.
Amazing it's part of the H&M group, I never go in H&M, I don't like the fit and I'm not into the clothes. COS has found a great Gap in the Market. There's nothing quite like it at that price point.

Dreamphone

I never played dreamphone as a teenager, I dont think I was allowed it. I always thought if I had it, I would know how to flirt. I still part believe it's the reason I'm always single!

For the love of a Chanel hair clip!

It's not even funny how much I want a Chanel Hairclip. I wish I had bought one a year or two ago, that way I would already have it and I wouldn't need to buy one. I wish it was something I had already splashed out on, then it would be MINE MINE MINE!

Oh this is a cutie!
It's a little sailor... a little peter pan. Very very cute.
New look did good!

Hermes x Colette



Do I need this? I think I do! I know they came out so long ago, I cooed at them through the window of Colette during PFW seasons ago, but I have never stopped thinking about them. They only have this one left on the Colette website, but I'm not sure its the best print -probably the reason it has not sold out.



Doesn't stop me wanting it though!

Charlotte olympia ... I love you!

I think I will always punch myself for not owning her fruit shoes! I can't think of a more glamorous shoe designer than Miss Charlotte, what an incredible face of the brand. I'd you never saw the banana bag she made the match these bags, you must look them up. I love Charlotte olympia because her work is beyond glamorous and always fun. This girl has more guts and punch than she's given credit for.

My favourite vintage bag!

This may be the best vintage novelty bag you will ever see. I love this so much I managed to buy two! Not an easy feat!

Review! Boots 17 lipstick

Over the years I have shelled out fortunes for different lipsticks, Mac, clinique, Chanel, you name them. I'm not a big make up wearer, but I'm rarely without a red lipstick, unless the beast has rubbed off and left me with dodgy red patches round the edge. Not good.
I was given some boots 17 lipstick as a freebie, I wasn't expecting much from it, but actually the colour is lovely. Rich and intense. The lipstick goes on well and lasts a long time. It doesn't smudge, nor end up on my teeth or my cheeks. The colour is strong and matt, without being uber-matt (like mac lipsticks) the only bad thing about this lipstick is that people often ask me where Its from, and it's a little embarrassing saying boots 17 when I have a bag full of lipsticks which cost me a small fortune. In my opinion, boots 17 lipstick is the best lipstick on the high street.
I love Pea and Mint soup, It's by far the best soup in the world. It's beyond easy to make, all you need is peas, an onion, some fresh mint and stock cubes. Put it all together, blend and its amazing. Happy cooking!
