Favourites

I thought i'd do a little post on my favourite items of the week, here goes:

Soap and Glory Products, Love, Love, Love them, lots more goodies inside the Hat Box too:



Me to You "Special Girlfriend" Bear bought for me by my bf for Christmas, very cute:



Love Heart Shaped Small Dish:



I use the above to store my bits and pieces of jewellery in after a night out when the last thing i want to be doing is putting them away in my jewellery box, keeps them safe and best of all with very little effort in a drunken haze ;):



Next Gold Cuff Leather Sandals from the New Spring Collection, Love these:



My Ipod Touch, the BEST Ipod ever invented!! As well as the obvious of playing Music you can also watch Videos, it as the exact same apps as the Iphone as well as Facebook, Ebay, Google, pretty much anything. I didn't want a Iphone as i prefer to text using buttons so i have the best of both, my next phone the end of Feb will be a Blackberry :):



Books, i love to read so these will be keeping me busy for a while:

I've just ordered a Links Of London Sweetie Bracelet, yay. I've wanted one for ages although never got round to buying one and as i said in my previous posts that 2010 will be the year of saving for me i thought i'd get it out of the way the first day of the year, clever eh ;).

Sweetie Bracelet:



I also bought a Butterfly Charm as my first charm to put onto it:



They have some beautiful Charms for the Sweetie Bracelet and somehow i think this is going to become a quite expensive habit..... ;).

2010

First post of 2010, yay. Not anything too exciting mind, just a few of my buys over the past few days. Most items were full price apart from the La Senza Shirt and DP Cardigan, i can never seem to find anything in the sales grrr.

Dorothy Perkins Charcoal Cardigan:



La Senza Monkey Night T-Shirt:



Undiscovered Perfume, so glad i discovered this, LOVE the smell:



Asos Pencil Skirt (I have the Top too):



Light Pink Vest, Asos:



White Long Sleeve Top, Asos:



Grey Long Sleeve Top, Asos:



Gold Cuff Leather Sandals from Next:



Hope everyone had a nice night last night and celebrated the New Year in style ;).

My Year in Photo's.....

So that time of year is almost here yet again, yep time to make those new year resolutions!! Actually i don't see them as resolutions anymore, resolutions are always doomed to fail just a few weeks into the new year so i see them as little goals instead, something to work towards.

Mine for next year are:

* Spend wisely, only buy those things which i know i'm going to get my use out of, stop those unneccesary buys with the items i only use/wear once, think before i buy

*Save more, time to start looking to the future, i'm not getting any younger!!

* Lead a more healthier lifestyle, cut down on the cigs, eat healthier, drink more water, join a exercise class of some sort....

* Spend more time with my special people

What are yours? It's my birthday New Years Eve, think i'm just going for a meal then onto a bar afterwards, parting until 5am doesn't appeal to me anymore, i'm tired by 2-3am hehe. God, i'm getting old........

Wishing you all a healthy and happy 2010, bring it on!!!

New Hair

I finally went back to my natural darker blonde colour on Wednesday and got a few brighter blonde highlights, pic below (please ignore the ne-yo style hat which belongs to a colleague, that was taken at my work christmas party):



I also managed to get the Soap and Glory Hat Box from Boots which was reduced from £50 to £20, bargain. Also made a few other purchases which i shall post over the next few days. It was my works christmas party last night and i'm soooooo hungover, well worth it though ;).

In's:

* Having my hair highlighted/cut tomorrow, i'm thinking of going a darker blonde with lighter blonde highlights throughout with a more of a choppier cut, we shall see...

* Ordered a Apple Ipod Touch this evening, can't wait till it arrives on Thursday!!

* Works Christmas Party on Friday, yay

* All my Christmas gifts are almost bought, just one or two more bits to get then i'm done

* Break up from work next week and don't go back until the 4th January

Out's

* Had such bad back pain these last few days or so, argh

* Some asshole on ebay leaving me my first negative feedback on ebay in four years, he said he didn't receive my item when he blatantly did, twat!!

My Warehouse order arrived this morning and i love it!! Here's the long sleeve stud shoulder detailed dress (please excuse the socks and my sisters smudgy mirror, tut, tut):



Think i'm going to wear this tomorrow with opaques (bought some 120 denier ones from Topshop yesterday and they're fab!! Totally opaque!!) patent heels and a few accessories; cocktail ring, earrings perhaps to funk it up a little. Will try to take a pic tomorrow.

They also sent me a different bag compared to the one in which i ordered on the website. I already have this bag in grey and they sent me the black one, although i love it so don't mind having another in a different colour:

Payday Purchases

Long Sleeve Stud Shoulder Detail Dress from Warehouse:



I'm thinking of wearing this with leggings/slouchy boots during the day and it can easily be dressed up with opaques/heels for the evening.

Large Quilted Black Chain Flap Bag from Warehouse:



Another Disney Couture Bangle, this ones a gift for a friend for christmas and is in black/gold:



Long Sleeve Rose Ribbed Top from Miss Selfridge:



White Long Sleeve Top from Miss Selfridge:



I bought another few bits and bobs but nothing *too* exciting so i won't bore you with those ;).

Bow Necklace, Miss Selfridge:

Buys of the Day!!

I went shopping with a friend today, i bought a few underwear sets, shoes, perfume, pj's, etc, plus:



* Ghost Perfume (Love this original one, the smell seems to linger for ages)
* Urban Decay Liquid Eyeliner
* Soap and Glory Clean Girls Body Wash
* Topshop Leather Purse/Wallet
* Soap and Glory Super Eyes Moisturising Eye Gel

I wanted to buy some knitwear too although couldn't see any around at all which i like, maybe online shopping will be the way forward for those!! Hope everyones had a nice weekend.

I bought the following Soap & Glory Mask a few months ago so i thought that now would be the right time for me to write a review:



Product: Soap & Glory No Clogs Allowed Super Self Heating Deep Pore Detox Mask

Price: £10.00 from Boots

Description: A super self-heating 5 minute Deep Pore Detox Face Mask. With free skin smoothing sponge.

My view: I bought this Soap & Glory Mask a few months ago now and have used it at least a couple of times a week, love it and definitely one of the best face masks i've used.

The mask comes complete with a small sponge, i used this once and didn't bother using it again, i found i got a more thorough clean by just rinsing my face with water with my hands, the sponge is of poor quality and definitely wouldn't last more than one use. On the tube it directs you to use a grape size amount, i used double this to ensure that i had full coverage of my face, i massaged this gently into my skin with my fingertips. The mask as a really fresh smell to it, slightly minty. Once you apply the scrub you feel a tingle and the heat sensation almost straight away, i didn't find this uncomfortable at all, more reassuring that the mask was working. You can rinse away for a fast refresh or leave the mask on for a couple of minutes for a more squeakier clean, i preferred to leave it on a while, i felt it gave my skin more of a glow afterwards the longer i kept it on.

After rinsing my face feels so smooth and as that fresh feeling to it, it 100% gives a thorough clean. After using this product around 6 times i have noticed that the pores on my nose are much less visible and more refined. Result!!

Rating: 9/10 (Missed a point off for the packaging which could be better designed, the tube is too squeezy that sometimes it can be a struggle to screw the lid on back tightly).

Also my Saint Tropez Leather Jacket Finally arrived, it as that worn looking effect, a soft leather too, love it. What do you think of the length of it? I always feel as though leather jackets look too short on me although that's with every style of leather jacket i've tried on so that must be the norm, what's yours like in length?:

* Leather Jacket: Saint Tropez
* Slouchy BF Jeans: River Island
* Purple Short Sleeved Knit: Topshop
