Ladies Who Inspire Me.

Hello!

First up sorry for lack of posting, the great Blogger tragedy of '11 which is going to be my best excuse.

Thought I'd do something a little different for my blog and show you all some of the amazing ladies who inspire me in my life daily.

Let's get this show on the road!

Gwen Stefani - I got into Gwen when I discovered No Doubt in about '96, a striking lady with a unique dress sense, it was idol at first sight! Since then we have seen SO many forms of Gwen and her amazing sense of style it's unreal (My personal fave was "Sweet Escape" Gwen). This picture was taken a few days ago so as you can see for 41 and 2 kids -  she is amazing!

Deborah Harry - Again I've always been a huge Blondie fan (influenced by my mum) and I get called 'Debbie' by EVERYONE! I put it down to being bright blonde and looking like a rockstar with an attitude ;). 

Bethany Cosentino - She is a super cute girl who plays in an amazing band, loves cats and wears cute clothes. I want to be her.

Zooey Deschanel - My fave actress, she has a gorgeous, quaint style plus the most natural prettiness ever!  I love her smiley, kind sense and her beautiful singing voice.

Lady Gaga - Now Lady G gets alot of stick from alot of people about her style and blah blah BUT she provides strong messages which I think is great and the power she has to be able to help change is really something special. Plus I'm a sucker for her AMAZING body!

Nicki Minaj - Fierce as hell, I love Nicki, she knows how to make fun of herself, her style is really out there and her music makes for excellent woman-power! Plus if i ever get a boob-job I am taking a pic of Nicki in there! I kinda want to give this joint to Beyonce too, I am in love with that woman and her thighs.

Well I hope you enjoyed a little insight to my life. Which ladies style inspires you? I'd love to see some other posts like this too, so if you do one link me up in the comments!

P.S Shameless plug but i have my Vivienne Westwood Melissa shoes up on ebay HERE. So check it out if you have small feet! x

I'm On The Pursuit Of Happiness - outfit post.

So my 3 days off from work are up and I'm back in tomorrow. Went to see Insidious last night, it was SUPER scary but the end was kinda lame. I love going to the cinema I always pre-buy cinema-sweet popcorn, Maltesers and peanut M+M's, then get one of those fizzy ice drinks - so yummy!

Here is what I wore out on my day off:

See-through Striped Tee - Primark £6
Washed Denim Shorts - Asos £12
Necklace - River Island £3

I look shattered and I am. Been applying for jobs like crazy! Decided to stick my hair up halfway through taking pics, don't you hate it when you are growing your hair out and you have the awkward stage? 

Iced Gem Ring - Babi Online.

The lovely people at Babi-Online sent me this super cute kitsch iced gem ring. Been wearing it with everything and craving iced gems hard!

The top is like a mesh see-through, I thought it would be too revealing but I actually love the fit of it and haven't seen it in Primark since.

Hope everybody's week is going well so far!

The Sun Was High and So Was I - outfit post.

I actually wore this outfit last Sunday when I went to see Best Coast, I had an awesome night I love them and their summery feel! I hope one day I will be in a band just as rad as them. To kick things off I re-bought a guitar last week, can't wait to get back into it properly! 

Palm Tree Top - H&M £3.99
Miss Selfridge Hi-Waisted Shorts that I basically never take off!

My Palm Leaves necklace is by Maggie Angus, such gorgeous hand-made jewellery inspired by Miami/Club Tropicana - AWESOME!  

I've worked all weekend and now have 3 days off woohoo!
Weird question but has anybody used Yankee Candles? Are they worth the money?

Homeware Wishlist.

Super quick post as I'm off out for dinner! Been ill and/or working but tomorrow is my day off so will prep some outfit posts :)

I must have been living under a rock 'cus I had NEVER been on ModCloth.com until a few days ago, anyway I was checking out their 'Apartment' section and basically fell in love with everything! Shame shipping costs loads to the UK :(

As I've said before hopefully in the next couple of months (if I can EVER get a job) I will be moving out, so here is my little wishlist from ModCloth:

Vintage-style Telephone, Arrow Mug, Jaws Cup, Bunny Ear Salad Utensils, Kitty Salt n' Pepper Pots, Anchor Doormat, Bear Tea-towel, Bear Coasters.

So if anyone knows where I can get similar, cute homeware items from the UK please send me links and your fave places to look at cute homeware too! I could literally spend hours pining over it.

Hope everybody is well.

MAC Haute & Naughty Lash Mascara - review and swatches.

Hey! 

Hope you have all had an awesome extended weekend, I loved all the wedding related posts I've seen! I've been a little ill and people who follow me on Twitter might have noticed BUT I'm back on track now, so here we go.

You may remember me saying in THIS post that when I ordered my MAC Quite Cute Blush, I got a free mascara, well here it is!

Haute & Naughty Double Effect Mascara - £17.50 (or free in my case!).
Instantly fell in love with the glittery packaging. 

What it is, the pink lid you see is one mascara brush, then the glitter lid is another which with the pink inside, doubles up.

This is just the pink lid's brush.

Before with no mascara.

After with the 1st brush.

Then here is what it looks like with the 2 brushes combined.

With the 2 brushes.

As you can see I have REALLY short stubby eyelashes, so I preferred using just the 1st brush as was lighter for my eyelashes. I guess my opinion is a little bit bias because I don't really get any benefit out of using the 2 brushes together because of my tiny lashes, but if you had nice healthy ones I could totally see it working!

Anybody else tried/got any reviews of this? I'd love to see.
