Happy Kitty & Easter Nails

Happy Easter pals! 

I'm off for a roast dinner with my boyfriends family and limiting myself to ONE chocolate egg :p


What a better way to welcome Spring and Easter with pretty pastels and baby pink carnations! I read that they are bad for kitties if they eat them so I kept him under watchful eye and made sure they are out of reach for him!

Hope you have a great weekend

Mermaid Nails

Happy Easter weekend!
I'm going to be spending the weekend eating loads of bad things (obviously) and making delicious Butterscotch ice cream - recipe soon to come! 

Last week when I was back home in Devon I did these ombre mermaid nails - I loveeeed them!


I used Barry M Teal and Mint and sponged the ombre.
Then I added Pink glitter - Teenage Dream from Katy Perry x OPI and some cute anchor and heart nail tattoos (seen in my LAST nail post).

I wish I could have beautiful real nails but they just don't grow :(

Hope you have a wonderful weekend whatever you get upto!

JuJu Jelly Shoes

I loved them as a kid and i still love them now - Jelly shoes!

Alot of stores are doing them but I chose to go with JuJu who are the OG of Jelly shoes and have been going since '86 - you can read more about their history HERE. They use a unique jelly to make the shoes and recycle waste jellies - super cool!

JuJu Babe - I love the little heel on these it means I can wear them out! :D
I also want these in the Glitter style too!
JuJu Petra - I got these in Ice Blue but I also super want them in the lilac or baby pink - so pretty!
Know what else I LOVE about these JuJu jellies? i have TINY size 3 feet and NO shoes fit me right - well these fit PERFECT! They don't slip or squeak when you walk!

What do you think of jellies?

p.s - not a sponsored post, I just am in love.

Peach Melba Hair.

I love dying my hair fun colours, last time I went lilac, but this time I went for a box named 'Peach Melba'.

Obviously it looks super pink and not really that 'peachy' but I loved it nevertheless:


Since I had this hair colour I've already re-dyed it to a colour named 'Custard Cream' - I will show you in due time but I quite like it!

I discussed on Twitter today how I want to make a little zine and get some creative people on board so if you are interested or know anybody who might be get in touch - cowbiscuitsblog@gmail.com and we can talk :)

Hope you had a lovely weekend!

Last week I went to a Crystal Tarot reading. I'm big into my holistics and spiritual stuff. I'm a Pagan and obsessed with life's oddities. The lady said I am strongly connected to Mermaids and Unicorns (well duh!) so this gorgeous necklace make me squeal!

Fade To Red - outfit post!

Oh hi there!
I'm back from my Devon break back home now after a lovely fews days of being very spoilt (I'll post some pics soon) I'm back in Cardiff :)

We had a super sunny day not long back so we decided to head over to St.Fagans which is home to the Welsh National History Museum. It was HUGE, a huge open-air museum with lots of buildings and gardens with exhibitions in - it was so cool and it was free!

Dip-Dye Backless Sweater - c/o Even & Odd
Skater skirt - ASOS
Pentagram Necklace
St.Fagans 
I love this cute little sweater, part of the new S/S13 campaign from Even&Odd. You can check out some more cute items HERE.
Girl got the biggest booty.
This was the most clear shot I got of the back unfortunately. It's VERY open but I teamed it with a cute River Island bikini top - you can see it properly on THIS super old post where I look skinny (wah).
:)
We went upstairs in a super old tea-room, it was busy when we got there but I probably scared everyone off by how excited I was.
Cream-Tea!

Also when I went back home I bought a mini cross-stitch - OH HOW FUN! I loved it so much I've bought some more to do :D

Hope ya'll are doin good!

Nautical Nails.

She Wore Red Velvet, Antique Tiara and Nail Tattoos.
Available at skinartuk.com, Urban Outfitters and Boots.
I kept it pretty simple, I like just wearing a tattoo on one nail and mixing up the colours.
I did originally put white stripes on the red nails BUT it looks so bad haha!
Hope you all had a great weekend! I've been super busy, the boys in my house are going away on tour for a week so I've decided to take Prince down to Devon with me on Thursday.

Things I've Loved This Week

I have had such a rad week! Next week I will share with you the photos of my little trip to St.Fagans - it was so much fun!

Here are my favourite things that have caught my eye this week:

Uh oh! I super want these lilac jelly shoes! I also want a black wedged pair but they didn't have my size :( Damn my tiny little feet! 
I am in love with this gorgeous print by The Black Apple.
Kitten Pals pin pack! Also by The Black Apple
I saw this Hot Air Balloon dress in a shop near my house. I fell so hard for it and lots of other cute pieces from Sugarhill Boutique. I think it is the perfect shape and print - super me!
You HAVE to check out this awesome DIY Cat-toe shoe tutorial over at Kittenhood - I am 100% trying it!
Bobby Hill Embroidery
My life would be pretty complete is I had a full set of King of the Hill characters embroidered. I wish so bad I could make my own embroidery circles - maybe this will be a new goal! 

This Navajo camera strap  from Rigu.co.uk is so cute. I'm still after a new strap I just can't decide!
(P.S. Using the coe COWB10 you can get 10% off everything on Rigu)

Hope you have a splendid weekend!

Country Gal - outfit post

Last weekend I hopped in my new car (I know I can't top talking about it!) and drove up towards the Brecon Beacons. 

As it had been so cold I didn't fancy a massive trek so we ended up seeing an old Ice-Age mountain, we parked on the side of the road and walked up to the bottom of it. As we went up, it got colder and colder and my fingers went numb so we decided to save the big trek around it for a sunny day:

Craig Cerrig.
Aqua Embroidered Western Shirt - c/o Fashion Union
Skater skirt - ASOS
Shoes - River Island
The back
I literally cannot see a better shirt out there for me! I am a Devonshire country gal, I love Country + Western music and the whole western style theme. I am so in love with it!
I had to take pictures of me looking like I was on the ranch ;p
Afterwards we went to Merthyr Tyfils' old iron work ruins, we climbed through creepy, dark tunnels and made our way out onto the roof. Spot Ross peeking through the trees :p
These icicles were hanging EVERYWHERE in the the Ironworks - had to keep dodging them to avoid being speared.
