toothpaste kisses


shoes - new look

This little beauty only arrived on my doorstop this morning but I just couldn't wait to share it with you as I've fallen a bit in love with it and have been floating around my garden pretending to a fifties housewife all afternoon as it does make feel rather regal.

I love the contrast of the white with the mint pleated skirt (attached as part of the dress) and collar tips, it's such a stunning summer outfit and once slipped on I guarantee you will feel particularly classy and elegant and might have to resist the urge to prance around. Its lightweight feel makes it comfortable to boot on top off gorgeously girly - I even whacked out the pink lipstick! 
There's not much more I can say in terms of bigging this item up, it's taking pride of place in my wardrobe.

p.s say hello to Maxxie, my neighbours cat, who actually lives with us as it just won't leave and scratches at the living room window to be let in if we do try to urge him back towards his owners. He is a cutie though, right?

top summer nail polishes


(l-r) essie lapiz of luxury, barry m berry, barry m mint green, barry m peach melba, barry m pink silver glitter,  ted baker (fuschia pink)

Just a quick little post to share with you my top six summer nail polishes as I love reading these posts myself as I'm always on the hunt for new shades to add to my quite modest collection. I didn't get into pampering and showcasing my nails till quite recently as I've long fought the nail biters battle and so therefore had not much reason to highlight my stubby nails. I'm quite proud of myself for letting them grow out with some help from wearing gel nails (review here) which forced me to break the habit.

As you can see the majority of my collection is from Barry M as I just can't fault their nail paints and also the fact that they are at the cheaper end of the price range in comparison to brands like essie, which I still love nonetheless. Most of the shades I've chosen are also pastels which suit the spring/summer season perfectly and add a great touch to any outfit, my personal favourite being Barry M Peach Melba, I'm a coral girl at heart you know.

What are your favourite summer shades?
