Tescouture

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Hey hey! Bear with me tonight, I have a banging headache so I apologise in advance for any grammatical errors or general rabbiting. Apologies also for the glaring absence of Tuesday tips. In keeping with alliteration, for one week only, it shall become Thursday tips! And in the event of an emergency, Thriday tips!Anywho, the reason I couldn't share any Tuesday...

Today's outfit!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Hello again! I've had a bit of a hellish day today. I went to work and got a headache so bad that even my usual 'trick' of downing 3 painkillers couldn't cure. (Probably won't be adding that one to my Tuesday Tips!) I remembered that when that happens it usually means there's a storm coming, and I was right! So now the storm has happened, I'm feeling dandy again...

Models Own review

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Morning all! Models Own sent me some products last week to try out, so after a weekend of rigorous trials, here's the scoop!They sent 4 shades of nail polish. I wanted to test them out all at once so I created a sensible hand and crazy hand!The nail varnishes are a fiver and come in stylish chunky glass bottles, and I found that the big cap makes it a lot easier...

You know the 'drille!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();A bit of cringey hungover wordplay for you there!I am obviously referring to Espadrilles! Topshop are selling these adorable floral pairs £12 at the moment! I bought the black ones. A word of warning if you do decide to snap up a pair - they come up quite small, so if you're a half size like me, go with the bigger size. And I'll quickly share a bit of a Topshop...

Miracle Product: Collection 2000 Perfecting Minerals

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();(This is not a sponsored post - I'm just the enthusiastic type)Today I bought the best face makeup product I've found in ages. I discovered it through my friend Jen, who showed me it in the club toilet one night when we were out on the razz. I was amazed. Probably a little bit more than I am now, as I was... well, pissed. I never really use face powder, but...

Baby it's fact!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();A trillion months ago, I was given the 'Gorgeous Blogger Award' by both Rachel from I ♥ That and Fritha Louise from The Fish Tank. Thank you so much, girls and sorry for the beyond belated response! The rules state that I must now tell you 7 interesting things about myself. So here are some fun and not-so-fun facts about me!1. I have 'Hyper Mobility Syndrome'This...

Cheap thrills

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Bon soir, all!Not much going on in my world so I'll keep it brief (EDIT: Just finished the post, and as usual... I failed to keep it brief)! Oh, except I was supposed to get my Eiffel tattoo re-coloured today but the tattoo place was running behind and couldn't do it in the end :(Anyway, just thought I'd share a few mega bargains I bought in Primark yesterday....

Tuesday Tips!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Bonjour!Welcome to the second instalment of my Tuesday Tips!Today's tip is a makeup tutorial for getting that clumpy-but-in-a-good-way fake eyelash look. It is a kinda haphazard process (it involves talcum powder, need I say more!) but that's the fun of it! Look what it did to my lame little lashes (enlarge!) (That's me asking you to enlarge photo, not explaining...

Charity shop finds!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Hey all, hope you had a lovely weekend! Mine was average... I watched An Education on Saturday night. I wasn't bowled over by it... I didn't like the main character Jenny at all. Visually, I really liked the film. I do love 60s style. If I could go back to any era, the 60s would probably be it!Speaking of 60s style, I've come across some fabulous modette looking...

Swatch this space!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();On Wednesday Alex & I went to watch Shutter Island at the cinema with some friends. It was amazing! I totally recommend it. I thought it would be 'scary' but it wasn't at all. I think we're watching An Education tonight, which I'm really excited about. Has anyone seen it? Is it worth the hype? Anyhow, here's what we wore. I did my usual thing of getting...

Tuesday Tips!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Hey hey! Long time no type! I went to stay with my mum and sister by the sea for a couple of days and had a lovely time! I trooped round the 20-or-so charity shops Bexhill has to offer yesterday but only managed to find one cool thing (a button up wool jacket - pics tomorrow perhaps!)So I thought it might be fun to have a bit of routine to the blog, so welcome...

Spice up your life!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();((Congrats to Hannah, who won my Reebok comp! Thanks to all who entered!))I abused the good old Boots 3 for 2 offer today and bought some lipstick and nail varnishes! I bought some red lipstick because now I have dark hair for the first time in years, I can actually wear it without looking half dead (like when I was blonde) or just clashy - in a bad way (when...

Competition + outfits!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Before I bombard you with images, Reebok have been in touch with a wonderful offer for you and I. They clearly caught wind of my recent calorie crimes and are coming to my rescue, giving me the chance to trial their new Easytone trainers (that claim to tone your bum and legs while you walk - perfect for exercise-phobes like myself!) They're also allowing me...

Slouchy Sunday

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();So... I pretty much lost all self respect on the snack front last night. I had my friend Jen over and we had a little sleepover, which was great fun. Unfortunately it was a double-edged sword, as I did manage to demolish a HUGE bag of Doritos, some Rhubarb crumble, Mini Eggs (my biggest weakness!), AND a Cheese toastie! We were drinking 'Cheeky Vimto' too (a...

Get involved, the prize is epic!]Hey all, happy Friday!! I haven't been going into uni for a while, as they're giving me a separate project brief due to some mitigating circumstances (not mine, my project partner's). Therefore the current...

Summer loving

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Today's glorious sunshine prompted my latest purchase. I've seen this playsuit in a few mags and was delighted to find it in my local Miss Selfridge store. It looks really vintage and like something out of Katy Perry's wardrobe so I instantly loved it! It makes me fantasise about summer picnics and frolicking on the beach! After today's weather, that doesn't...

Versus, you make me curse-us my purse-us.

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Behold this vision of total frock-porn from Versus, Versace's junior diffusion collaboration with Christopher Kane. If my purse was home to more than coppers and Adios pills, I'd snap up the purple velvet dress almost instantly.I learnt about this delicious collection on Style Bubble earlier on. Susie went to the Versus preview in Milan, getting up close and...
