Stiletto Nails

Image
If your a regular follower of my blog you know that I completely LOVE nails and anything to go with them; nail varnishes, acrylic nails or nail art to name but a few. Since coming home from university I finally got my nails done after 3 months without acrylic nails, it feels good to have some decent sized nails that I can try out different ideas on. But of course I love how elegant and nice they make your hands look, it may sound strange but I always think my fingers are slightly bent and having my nails done makes them seem straighter.. weird I know. When I first got my nails done they were done in the Stiletto style, which has been made famous by the likes of Rihanna and Lady Gaga. At first I was a bit scared yet excited when I had them done as they looked amazing, though they were slightly sharp, also I was worried to how I would adapt to them as it was as though I would scratch anything I came in contact with. After a few days I filed them so they werent as sharp and I found ...

OOTW- Week 5- "I want you to stay"

Image
It's been such a long dragging week, but the weather has definitely put a bounce in everyone's step. The sunshine is slowly starting to make an appearance finally, although the cold weather is still very much around. This week I've spent a silly amount of money that I really don't have, thank god for my over draft! But it's gone on some worthwhile items, well I think so. I finally put my deposit down on my hair, not saying just yet what I'm having done but it's gonna be a big change, I'm so excited! Then I brought a cheeky few basic items from Boohoo that I'll blog about later this week. But for now here are my four favourite outfits of the week: Top Left : For a nice chilled night of cocktails with my flat mate I wore; Printed sleeveless top from Topshop , Blazer from Internacionale , Black dog tooth printed treggings from Topshop , Black high wedged trainers Internacionale and Bow bag from Topshop. Top Right: A laid back look for universi...

Green, Purple and Glitter Nails, "Go on and take a bow"

Image
I always wish I had longer, perfect nails rather than my easily broken short nails. Looking at my friend's acrylic stiletto nails makes me jealous with ridiculous amounts of envy! I wish I had the money just to get my nails done week in and week out with the latest design or shape. Looking in magazines makes my obsession worse by seeing celebrities or even adverts advertising their latest nail varnish or even the nails they wear just for ONE performance, why can't that be me?! Why can't I be able to paint my nails and make it seem like them adverts? That will never happen though, but it's good to dream. When I used to get plain white acrylic tips, I would regularly paint them as I get bored so easily with plain nails and I liked to experiment with different colour nail varnishes and designs. Though one colour I have NEVER tried is green, green isn't a colour I would really go for, it's a colour I have never worn either on nails or even clothes. But it's good...

Rihanna 777 London Tour Streamed Live Performance

Image
7 shows, 7 cities, 7 days. If anyone can do it Rihanna can do it and I assure you she will be incredible! Streamed on the River Island Facebook page in corporation with Budweiser and HTC we saw a live streaming of her London leg of her 777 tour and I'll be honest I was amazed. Although I waited two hours to ensure I would get to see the show from the very beginning it was amazing considering the amount of people that would be watching it from their laptops. I had no problems with buffering, nothing, it was as though she was right there in front of me- I wish! In comparison to her usual sexy barely there tour outfits she's known to wear she went for a simple high waisted ankle trousers and blazer with the same pattern, and a Madonna-esque style bra let top, though you could put Rihanna in everything and she would pull it off and still look superb!. She also showcased another new hairstyle which was the left side of her head shaved and back to her long black locks everywhere ...

Neon, can you pull it off?

Image
It first started with celebrities sporting the neon hair with the likes of;  Rihanna's bright red, Katy Perry's blue/pink hair and then Kelly Osbourne's grey hair with a slight tint of pink. Or even the most wanted ombre style but re adapted with bright shades at the bottom, done by none other than Jessie J. Although you have to be very confident to be able to pull of these trends, don't get me wrong I would love to dye my hair pink again(yes again I was a young teenager once) but having to do dye it over and over again to keep the colour doesn't appeal to me. But now the neon clothes have spread to the catwalks and even to the high street. It started off  Versace and slowly but surely it caught on like wildfire, with celebrities being more more out there than ever before it was obvious it was going to quickly catch on. With TOPSHOP's new "Calypso" collection it shows you this latest trend in one place as well as the other key trends th...
