Pink Pink Pink


I really have an obsession with the colour pink. I was stupidly excited by the fact my new T-Mobile dongle was bright pink. So a post with lots of pink items that I love! I am actually very impressed by mobile broadband. I have gone for a pay as you go option, you can easily keep track of your data usage in a little program that comes with the cute usb stick!



Lipstick Print Choolips at ASOS Dress

I am on a shopping ban (except things I obviously need like USB dongles) but really want to try Sleek makeup. The pout paints have had so many good reviews on many beauty blogs. My rubbish tiny Superdrug does not sell Sleek however (my Boots doesn't even sell Models Own!) and I don't like ordering makeup of the internet usually. I also need the lips dress in my life, at £75 though I will never be buying it. That is a weeks rent!

Good Luck to all those who are or know someone getting their A Levels Results today. We are having a massive A Levels Results Party in work tonight.. until 6am. Oh lord, Drunk 18 year olds.

Internacionale Dress





The last few days have not been very fun, full of car drama but more on that tomorrow. I live with a boy who hates summer (It's too hot) I however turn 23 in just over two weeks and have always been a summer baby. My pale legs beg to differ but that's nothing fake tan can't fix. Been on the search for a pair of shorts to wear with all the tops I usually shove leggings on with to get me through the summer months. Those New Look ones are perfect and very flattering. I'm currently trying out Garnier's Summer Body Moisturiser rather than my old faithful St. Moritz

I have been home for a few days and forgot how beautiful the garden is there, if only I actually had a camera and could take lovely photographs of it, alas I don't. My dad grows his own vegetables at the end of the garden along with our 7 chickens. Seriously eggs straight from your own chickens taste amazing, I was sent back with some but the car drama meant I came back minus a car and most of my things. It was a nice change from being stuck in a shared house. Hopefully the job and flat hunt will eventually come to an end and we will have somewhere nice to live!

No headbands in College, okay?

I love Gossip Girl, I really do. The impossible lives, the amazing wardrobes and Blair's headbands. Or hairbands, I am never quite sure. My grandma referred to them as Alice Bands. Dan Humphrey does take it upon himself to tell Blair "No more headbands in College" as shown in this gif.

I am 22 and still wear hair accessories pretty much every day. Be it a bow pinned to the side of a messy up bun or a hairband to cover up two days of unwashed hair. They are fun to wear for work where my hair needs to be tied up. I do not have Blair Waldorf's budget however, I occasionally find my self looking at £400 headbands and then realising that is rent for a month. A girl can dream! I love flowers in my hair for summer and black lace numbers in winter, mostly bought from Primark, Asda and Matalan. My budget does not stretch to even Topshop, maybe a Topshop sale. 




The first River Island hairband looks ridiculous on the model, but looks would be fun to wear. Of course the Valentino one is never going to be mine but I love simple classic hairbands, makes the days when my hair is full of dry shampoo and sambuca a bit more manageable when shoved in a messy bun. I love the wire hairbands that are all over the highstreet currently, my favourite is actually a big 'black silk'one from Sainsbury's. However in most that I have bought the stitching has come loose and the wire has started to poke out from the end. Not a good look. 

Floral one from Matalan and the lace one from Asda. It was inevitable the wire would come out in the lace hairband as there are holes in it. The Matalan one is just badly made, oh disposable fashion.
