The Sunday Edit #4



I wouldn't really class my self as much of a movie fanatic and to be honest, tend to stick to the Romantic comedy genres. However, because my dad is the biggest movie geek out there, I usually get dragged out to see all the latest blockbusters. Suffice to say, I'm now quite the Marvels fan! My dad has had Gravity in IMAX booked for about a month so he was bouncing off the walls when this saturday finally came around. Of course, I rarely appreciate all the graphics and special effects that go into creating movies, but my dad filled me in and told me that everything apart from their faces were computer animated. To sum it all up, I was really impressed with the whole thing and really recommend the watch! 

 I finally got my hands on a winter coat this weekend. I really just needed a piece that I could throw on over anything without having to worry about a clashing issue. Ideally, I also wanted it to be a tad more figure hugging and not make me look like a walking talking marshmallow, though that would be quite amusing. So that came down to a simple black trench with leather panelling which makes it slightly more interesting and gives it an edge. I'm happy to say it was a real bargain at £50 in the sale, which I'm amazed at! Surprisingly, this is in fact a size 10, and with me being a size 6-8 you'd think it would drown me but it actually fits quite well! In the image above, I actually have a pajamas top on so excuse the peep of pink. 

Lastly, in the midst of writing this post, my mother decided to take me on a Boots run... it was inevitable that I would pick up a few beauty bits so I may do a mini haul or if not, reviews will be popping up some time soon. 

Hope you've all had a nice week!

HOW TO: Remove Glitter Polish



We all like to jazz up our nails with a sprinkle of glitter from time to time, but I'm sure we can all agree that trying to remove this creation is most certainly a laborious task. Being a slight nail addict with little time, I wanted to find a technique that would make this horrific job a little more effortless.

NOTD #6 : The Christmas Red





In my eyes, when Halloween has been and gone, Christmas comes rolling right in, dragging behind it the overly large winter wear and festive feeling. I absolutely love every aspect of christmas and though I hate to say it, would be nothing without the frosted weather conditions.

Yet Another Pink?




'Hot Gossip' - £15
I know what you're thinking.. did she really just buy another MAC lipstick? Well I'm proud to say this product is in fact a 'shopped my stash' shade. I've had this lurking in the bottoms of my storage for about 6 months and was, I'm sure used just once straight after purchase. 'Hot Gossip' isn't really a so called 'blogger favourite', neither is it a rather unique or stand off shade. In fact, I don't think I've heard anyone even whisper this name. So I must admit, this lipstick was sort of a half hearted purchase but boy am I glad I did.

The Sunday Edit #3





Though on the night of halloween I was stuck inside house sitting and answering the door to little'ens and scream masks. This weekend has been most eventful having attended 3 halloween gatherings; two of which being on a friday. The first night I was attired in vampire wear, although the fangs didn't work out quite as expected, I was fairly impressed with the make up I had come up with. The outfit was a total 'make use of your wardrobe' ensemble, with a black velvet playsuit and a cape from previous years. The saturday party was a last minute do so instead of going as the same thing, I just used the same outfit and drew a batman mask on my face...talk about versatility! However, today the cousins decided to have a little lunch out so I had to be out the door by 11:30am which isn't the smartest decision I've made, what with the slight hangover from the night before and possibly even friday. 

So there's what Ive been up to recently, hope you've all had a nice week :)
