beauty reviews

As a make up/hair/body product buyer fanatic (that is a mouthful), I believe myself to have some seriously strong opinions on some beauty products and forever am trying to tell people of my latest findings or something I want everyone to steer clear of..
   Advertisement of these products is massive so trying not to view everything as 'I NEED that' and ranking them high on our Christmas lists only to discover its awful is proving difficult.
   In this post I want to highlight to you the great, the 'ok' and plain bad of what I have bought into.

I'm no professional and my views might only account for me but if you've had similar or the same thing happen comment below or add your personal experience to make us all a bit more beauty savvy.

AW14 shirts explained

   Everyone knows a white shirt is the key to elegance for formal and casual occasions and every season white shirts are tailored with the next 'in thing'. As a white shirt lover I have been on the hunt for the perfect shirt for years and finallllly nailed my ultimate fave ~
Its effortless, comfortable and versatile. I wear mine alone with statement jewellery and boyfriend jeans or with brights against signature monochrome for a change~

Jumper - Warehouse
Gilet - Topshop

This autumn/fall try effortless chic by styling a stiff white shirt with a long skirt with a bold colour or print. Or try layering up with a checked or striped shirt popping out under a dark jumper and simple coat for casual sophistication.

made in chelsea mondays

HURRAY my life is back to normal, Made in Chelsea is back!

   now at 9oclock if I go out I can still pre drink watching MIC in the corner of my eye.
The adverts are always so dramatic. Louise now has her New York lover in Chelsea, surprise ex boyf Andy is back and getting jealous. Lucy is as per, stirring the pot whilst squinting and rolling eyes of hate to everyone and anyone.

Surprise, Alex is trying to win Binky back with his over hair sprayed quiff. And Jamie is angry at his 'mate' Proudlock for getting with ex ex ex ex ex girlfriend, squints. (Lucy)
   I have discovered every episode you are bound to see:
- Two people who hate each other randomly meet in a park or side street (what are the odds?)
- Someone moaning and drinking tea in a living room
- A huge party, where the music is low and awkward dancing is a regular
- Spencer is chasing after another girl

   However, as set up as it is, I love it. And can't stop being addicted and girl crushing on Louise ...her clothes and hair are just too dreamy
 London Fashion Week 
 Now tell me that ombre isn't done to perfection.
    Made In Chelsea is back tonight - E4 at 9pm

sunday catch up

morning all ,
   This weeks been pretty packed, every day starts half asleep at 9 and finishes half asleep at 4, consists of a different night on the toon (town) or movie in bed - Thursday was Gatsby, which ranks high on my favourite films evvver, which I watched eating popcorn with my corn intolerant friend.. she will never learn

Saturday I took to cheer try outs - 1 of 60 potential cheerleaders.We had to show a bit of stunting where I haven't roly-poly'd since I was 9, also trying out handstands into crab and experimental cartwheels (aced that). Then because I'm short I became the flyer, which I loooved.
I became lifted into the air by my feet, stabilised by two shaking hands gripped to my thighs and told to smile and lock my body. They said I looked good (I'm going with that)
Then we had to demonstrate our flexibility. Left, right and box splits, pike jumps, crab (again). For some reason my body tried to resemble an elastic band that day because I was surprised by my achievements and haven't been able to do it since.
Then it took to the dance. Half an hour of practising a routine which made my arms, head and legs move in completely opposite directions to different beats. Then finally...
   after the 4 hour day, 10 were picked for the stunt team  and 4 specially picked for the dance team........and, I got in!
   Wednesday was not a happy day for my body, aching from my neck down to my toes. But YAY

Today's Sunday and I'm popping into town for some food bits and a sneaky peak in the shops I can't afford -
