On The Naughty Step: L'Oreal Sublime Mousse

My hair is not naturally this dark browny-black shade, it's mousey brown. So every month or two, I need to top up my roots. I usually use Schwarzkopf Live Colour XXL in Bittersweet Chocolate, but after seeing this mousse dye on offer, I decided to take a punt on something a bit firmer that I'm less likely to slosh all over the bathroom and/or myself. I bought the pure darkest brown shade and...

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice

Models Own are releasing a new duo-chrome nail polish collection on 1st November, which they're entitling Beetlejuice! I was already semi sold as I do love that film, but after seeing this photo of the collection I found here, I am in love! That shade on the left is delightfully fugly, and some of the others remind me of the Mac Venomous Villains collection,...

Be A Rock Star with Black XS!

I've always loved a perfume with a rock 'n' roll attitude, and Paco Rabanne's Black XS has been up there on my love-list since my days as a teenage Christmas temp on the perfume counter at Debenhams! Whilst my own rock 'n' roll edges may have softened somewhat over the years (piercings, gigs and vodka have been replaced by nail art, early nights and coffee), Black XS is still embracing its...

We Found Love

I've been obsessing over Rihanna's new video lately. Besides being an emotional roller coaster, it's a true style feast, with lots of This is England references (although I do frown upon the glorification of drugs and cigs, I must be honest! Children watch this stuff.)I paid homage to Rihanna in my own little way today and got drugged off my tits rolled my jeans up and...

Lazy Day

I had an unexpected day off today after some filming with Channel 4 for the new series of SuperScrimpers was rescheduled. So, besides Roxy eating a mouse before my very eyes (what has city life has done to my little princess?!), I've had a nice chilled out day featuring an afternoon nap and trying out my new  t-shirt dress kindly sent to me by Lazy Oaf.Lazy Oaf are a super cool brand...

Midweek Musings

Love me, love my onesieIt's been my saviour while I've been poorly. It's kept me toasty warm and cosy and obviously has all the cool-points that come with essentially dressing as a cat. Definitely improved my morale! If you don't live near Primarni, you need to be snapping one of their infamous onesies up on eBay because they are, in my eyes, this season's most important trend. (Yes I know I...

Style Envy

I'm literally putting the Gem in Germ right now, so rather than post an outfit picture of my honey-and-lemon-swigging self in bed in my cat onesie with a nose smothered in Sudocrem, I thought I'd share some photos of someone whose style hasn't taken the weekend off. Meet Bebe Zeva. I only found her blog the other night and I was flabbergasted by this girl's ability to put a look together. I love...

Fugly Feet Fanclub

What do you do when your chunky soled shoe obsession becomes the high street's hottest trend..? Go underground. I'm talking the dark corners of eBay.On the hunt for a link to my little sister's imitation Litas (that rascal STILL hasn't sent me the link to them!), I stumbled upon an absolute goldmine of the craziest, coolest, most fugly-chic shoes. All for about £30. I have often scoured eBay for cheap...
