London Haul (30/08/12)

Hey there to all my lovely readers!!

As promised here's my London haul!

First off I got a couple of bags - otherwise it wouldn't be me, would it...?

My first honest-to-goodness clutch, from H&M. It's black patent and has a gold buckle. Simple, just the right size, and it was EXCELLENT for the evenings to carry my wallet, tube map, London map and other stuff...
H&M clutch (somehow Blogger keeps uploading this upside down -_-) 
Next up is my Primark black handbag... It's not too big, but big enough to carry all my essentials! Also, I love the studded detailing at the bottom, the bag charm and the gold chain detail at the strap...!

Primark handbag
DRESSES!!!! I adore dresses, I love feeling all girly and princessy...  These are all from Primark, they were amazingly priced and all look AMAZING on! :D

Blush-coloured polka-dot dress. The skirt flairs out in the most adorable way!!
My first peplum number.... J'adore!!!
This is the perfect first-date-dress... Cute, flirty, not too revealing... A+
This skirt is somewhat of a novelty for me... I've seen many of these online and in magazines, but never thought I could pull it off.... However, I saw this in H&M and thought I might as well try it on... I'm glad I did, as I love the way it looks on!
H&M sheer polka-dot skirt
This adorable top comes from Primark (naturally). How could I resist this mix of Disney + London + Bargain price?!?!
Mickey <3's LONDON too! :D
Knowing what an insane shoe-holic I am, it is to be expected that I but AT LEAST one pair of shoes... I bought three...
I've been longing for a pair of studded biker boots for ages... Trust Primark to provide the perfect pair!
Yes, I've gone stud-mad... But these studded pointed-toe courts were too cute to pass up!!
A pair of nude courts are a staple in every girl's wardrobe...
Now some miscellaneous items: 

We bought ourselves some in-flight entertainment... :D
Batiste Dry Shampoo from Boots - a true life saver!!
Finally - Lily from Build-A-Bear in Covent Garden
That's about it for my London Haul... In other news, Voices rehearsals are progressing immensely well - we've started rehearsals with the amazing band... Feel free to check out our facebook page for more info on tickets and show dates! I'd really appreciate seeing a lot of you there!

NOTW - "Mind The Gap!" (22/08/12)

Mornin', guvnah!

I'm working on my cockney accent today, because I'm off to London tomorrow morning and, seeing as how London is my favourite city, I'm quite excited...

Whilst compiling my "Things to Pack" list, I had the idea to paint my nails in a fitting manner - i.e. a London-inspired nail design.... After considering many options (the Tube sign, Big Ben, London Buses, the London Eye...) I decided on using the Tube map as inspiration, picking out different parts of it and painting them on my nails.

The final result is this:


The parts I used were:

Thumbs -

Index finger -

Middle finger -

Ring finger -

Pinky -
 

That's all from me today - I'll be back with more posts on Tuesday! Until then, look out for some London updates to my facebook page! :)

Poland Haul (21/08/12)

Hey everyone! 

Sorry about the slow rate of posts lately! To tide you over for a bit, here's a mini-haul of the things I bought in Krakow...

Blue cropped blazer

Gold angular bangle 
Silver patterned bangle 
Bronze winged ring

Bronze detailed ring

Bronze leaf-patterned ring

Purple and pink friendship bracelet

Krakow snow-globe - to add to my collection...

Bright coral peep-toe platforms
As you can see, I didn't go too crazy with the shopping, seeing as how we hardly had any time to shop... I'm working on my Poland Exchange post (it's quite long so far), and also a nail polish collection video, so look out for those! :)
