wishist wednesday

i've mentioned this before; i really need something, ANYTHING, from the o.p.i pirates of the caribbean collection. howeverrr, i've vowed not to buy a full sized polish from o.p.i again without trying out a mini version first, so i want this..

i'm going to see the film on friday, so excited! johnny depp has to be the best thing about the films though, such an amazing actor. there's nothing else i want this week, other than to look like jennifer lopez..

i took the picture from this month's instyle


seriously, how beautiful is she?!

i love my twirly skirt

i wore this to visit my nan in her nursing home, despite the fact it was raining, because she likes it when girls wear skirts. bless her.


skirt, shirt & necklace - h&m
ring - wallis
t-shirt - f&f at tesco
sheer tights - i'm not sure

i should probably try doing an outfit post without wearing something from h&m once, i just can't help myself! it really is the only shop that i always find something worth buying, and it's so reasonably priced that it'd be rude not to...

i love magazine freebies

this month, instyle and nails inc teamed up, giving away one of three shades with each magazine. unfortunately for me, i could only get my hands on the brown one of the bunch - fashion fawn.




similar to barry m mushroom, yes? i did a comparison and barry m is a tad darker, but you'd be forgiven for mistaking them. it applies well, it dried surprisingly quickly and didn't need a top coat. alas, it chipped overnight. boo.

ootd - i really need to learn how to pose


this was actually yesterday's outfit but i didn't get around to posting about it. i wore this over my boyfriend's house & i tend to think more carefully about what i wear in case his mother judges me based on my appearance haha.

tights, belt & skirt: all h&m

what do you think?

wishlist wednesday

oh internet, why are you home to so many websites when i have no money to spend on them? today i've been browsing urban outfitters and mac; so many things, so little money.

urban outfitters:
£35 here

£32 here
£48 here

from mac, i'd like the prep and prime highlighter. it seems pointless to post a picture but here's the link.

also, i'm running out of paco rabanne lady million, so i'd like more of that. and i want to try out some chloe perfume, has anyone tried this?

green(ish) with envy

green with envy is another of rimmel's 60 second nail varnishes, though i don't think it's particularly green. it looks slightly bluer in real life than it does in my photos; it's one of those colours that someone will say "oh that's blue, that's definitely blue" whilst another person would be convinced it's green.


application was alright, not perfect but there wasn't too much to complain about. it didn't rub off on things i touched as rapid ruby did, but it did chip quite easily. not a bad nail varnish, but not too good either. nice colour though :).

sporadic summary


1. dog walking is brilliant. seriously, i'd be so fit if i had my own dog! for now i'll settle for walking my bampy's dog, but walking a dog really is perfect exercise. though you get some strange looks if, like me, you talk to your dog as if you expect an answer.


2. i love random little things that make you smile. like this little bit of graffiti, it's spray painted on this cute little bridge in this really picturesque place and every time i see it it makes me smile. this is the bridge (excuse the dog showing you her bum hah)..


3. WHERE IS MY DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES BOXSET. i ordered it over a week ago and it still hasn't turned up, despite apparently being dispatched one day last week; boo.

4. azerbaijan shouldn't have won eurovision. neither should the UK though. i was rooting for moldova, nothing else was quite cheesy enough for eurovision! though i really liked denmark's entry too. here's the link. is it sad that i'm watching it and enjoying it as much as the first time?
