Trick or Treat Your Nails...

... I have noticed recently that your nails are now becoming as much of a fashion statement as your clothes! Nail art is about showing more of your personality or adding colour to a dull day at work! I recently have tried out some of the minx nails etc however it sounds silly but i still enjoy coming home and pampering myself by doing my nails, reading a magazine and catching up on my sky planner!

One of the nail trends i have started following is the colour blocking your nails! I have seen a few people have started either painting just one nail a different contrasting colour or doing the rainbow effect! However it is said that the finger you wear a ring on should be a diffrent colour to the rest of your hand to make more of a statement! It is no longer about matching your nails to your outfit! Its a simple thing that even my shakey jake hands can manage. Its a quirky nail trend that is still taking off but i just thought it was a fun idea to make your nails stand out buy mixing the colours up! It brings a bit of happiness to these dull autumn winter mornings!

While looking at nail art images i did come across some fun designs for your nails for halloween as it is only a week away! They look a fun idea to try out however i dnt think my clumsy hands will manage these but they made me smile! I think my nail art skills will maybe just have to stick to sparkle nail varnishes and the crackle nail varnish this Halloween but theres no harm in looking at some ideas :)

Glitz and Glamour...

... Well im sooooo excited to say i have bought a pair of glitter heels to glam up and get ready for the christmas nights out! I have seen alot of glitter shoes around the high street and in magazines and now i cant wait to be able to add a bit of girly glamour to my never ending black dresses! :)

I have seen alot of fab different styles of glitter shoes on the high street! These shoes are perfect for the christmas period and i love the feeling when you put them on and its like returning to my childhood of dressing up and pretending i could fit into my sparkly heels :)

These are some of the other sparkly shoes ive seen on the highstreet i especially love the black shoe boots from office and are £75. Theyre just something a bit different and i love a shoe boot on snowy nights to give a bit edge to a girly dress. Also the gold shoes i spotted in Miss selfridge for £40 and the silver multi shoes from ASOS £50. However im not gonna lie mines are just the cheapy ones, that im not ashamed to say are from Primark for £18. I do love a bargain!!

Can't wait to be wearing my new shoes on a girly night out! What girl can resist! :)

Out With The Old... In With The New...

Its that time of year again when the seasons are changing and you notcie the change from spring/summer to autumn/winter! Maybe its just me but dont you ever just go to your wardrobe and no matter what you pick to put on you feel fashionless and lack of inspiration....! I hate that uncool feeling when you just feel like everyone is moving on around you and you need a new idea to make you feel nice again!

The time for me to revamp my wardrobe is back and i came across this new look or style or whatever you want to call it! Fabric is back and i get to layer up! One thing i LOVE is the idea of clashing different textures, patterns and layers to create the 3D remix! This season i have seen stores and magazines messing about with weights in fabric and putting the heavy with the light! The key mixes i have seen being created are knits and silks, fur with metalics and leather and lace! However a play on all these different textures will work well together! Its fun just to be able to play with how different textures can create a flirty and fun, eye catching outfit!

Building an outfit with different textures will give one piece a lifetime of different looks and you can wear it more then once without the new feeling going because im the worst at getting the excited feeling of a new top or dress and losing it with JUST one wear! its sad! I have put this imatation leather skirt (£19.99 h&m), the sequin tee (Topshop £45) and the racoon faux fur gilet (Miss Selfridge £60), above, as an outfit to show how 3 opposite textures can work together.... Fabric is gonna be big!!! i love putting chunky heavy knits withe delicate laces or mixing or dainty silk blouses with harsh leather shorts! And my favourite textured shoes has to go to topshop!! i would probably ruin them within a day in the rainy weather but whats not to love about the alfie scalloped lace up boot (£52). The hair texture and scalloped edging gives this little black ankle boot some life.



This season sees velvet and faux fur hitting hard but there is texture for everyone to fall in love with suede, leather sequins, silk, lace or even animal print or a pattern to give off an illusion! Fabric is key this season and i love to wrap and layer up when i see that its that time of year again when all you want to be is warm!!
