Jazzy Shoes

I have got so many pairs of skinny jeans in numerous different colours and if i am wearing them on a night out i will wear a pair of killer heals or if i am wearing them day-to-day i will wear them with over the knee boots or short pixie boots but i have come across a selection at office that i absolutely love!

When you are next in Office shoe shop look out for the floral lace up pumps. They are bang on trend with the floral pattern and will look really cool teamed up with your skinny jeans or even a pretty floral dress.

I would buy them quick though as i can imagine these selling out quick as they are guaranteed to be snapped up ready for Spring!

Nude

A colour that i thought i could never pull off was nude, i just thought the colour would make me looked washed out but as it seems to be a massive trend right now i thought i would give it a go and i was surprised that i actually really like it!

I have not gone to OTT on the nude i went for a lace, nude top and i have paired it with a black skirt and black belt with a gold loop in the middle. To finish the look i went for a pair of nude heels and what i love about these shoes is that because they are nude they make my legs look soooooo long, perfect!

If you are going to buy nude i would definitely recommend paring it with black as it keeps it modern and chic!

Lace

One trend i love at the moment is lace i can’t get enough of it i have already bought 3 cami’s a dress and a couple of tops!

Wearing lace makes me feel sophisticated and glamorous especially when added with some red lipstick!
Lace is in nearly every shop now all with a great collection, if you are looking for a fab lace dress for a night out i would recommend looking in Miss Selfridge, prices are reasonable and there collection is stunning, you will most definite find the perfect dress!

If you are not to keen on the whole wearing lace as clothing then go for a lace clutch bag to add an extra fashion statement to your outfit!

Autumn Fashion

Even though the temperature is still in the minus ladies Autumn is very nearly here, hurray!

I have looking over the Autumn collection and i am in love! This Autumn its all about flowers, very girly and elegant and they are going to be on everything from pretty skirts to glamorous dresses and classy blouses.

Most high street shops have started stocking up on the trend already and i have found the most amazing dress in Topshop, i am going to buy it now and wear it with tights and ankle boots to keep my legs warm until the weather starts to shine and i can get my pins out with a pair of sandals!

Hurry up summer!!!

Use Promotional Coupons when shopping

It’s only 3 days until Christmas and people are frantically dashing around for their last minute presents. I went shopping last night and the shops are bustling with men trying to grab a last minute item for their girlfriend and women trying to find last minute goodies for their kids.

Christmas is always an expensive time, especially if you have a family to think about. The amount can certainly add up when your daughter realizes how great make up is and wants the whole Mac brush set or the Bobbi Brown collection. To make sure that you do save money, make sure you see if their are any promotional coupons knocking about before hand. You will be able to knock a large percentage off the original selling price and there are lots of vouchers out there for beauty products.

My friend recently bought a MAC Palette and loads of different colour eye shadows to go in it. She got this at a complete bargain price because she did her homework first. Make sure you check out the Internet and also magazines to see if they are offering any money off. Christmas doesn’t have to be majorly expensive and if you take the time to look around, you will find that you can pick things up a lot cheaper than you first thought.

Holiday Preparation

If you are in a panic to blitz your body in preparation for a holiday that seems to of sneaked up on you very fast here is a cheats way to start quick and go away feeling fabulous:

Beauty prep:

Book in for some body treatments, I would highly recommend an intensive massage, request a massage that helps break down fatty deposits and disperse water retention.

If you have 4 weeks until your holiday invest in a Slimming Belt, Gwyneth Paltrow’s secret weapon for battling her post-pregnancy baby bulge, enough said!

Packing:

If you are going on a long-haul trip, Clarins Anti Eau Oil is a must-have as you will know sitting on a plain for hours is going to cause puffy ankles and swollen stomachs. If you rub Clarins over your legs and stomach before the flight it will it help deflate puffiness.

Having firmed your figure beforehand, keep it in great shape while away with Lancaster Sun Slim. Packed with cellulite-eradicating ingredients, including the antioxidant Yerba.

To look the part arriving at the airport sexy luggage is a must have and also make sure you have reliable luggage for your beauty treatments. I have just purchased my Roxy Luggage and its stunning! I cant wait to turn up at the airport with my arm candy!

Face:

When you are on holiday you have to keep your make-up to the minimum nothing is wo4rse than seeing a face full of slap in the sun, if you are in the sun wearing make-up there is a good chance it will streak, not a pretty look! All you need is a good lipgloss and mascara!

Also remove any excess facial hair before heading into the sun as strong light only serves to highlight a downy upper lip and stray hairs scattered over chins and cheeks. Threading is ideal for getting rid of unwanted hair as it removes hair by the root, leaving skin smoother for longer, Try Blink Bar.

Hair:

To give hair sexy waves, try Synchrone Soft Wave. Lasting just six weeks, this semi-permanent process introduces a gentle curl into poker-straight hair, giving manageable movement to even coloured and highlighted hair. Perfect for a high-impact, low-maintenance look just for the summer.

Or try clip-on hair extensions add instant glamour!

Nails:

Give your nails some TLC with a manicure.

If you book in for the above asap you are guaranteed to go away feeling a million dollars!

Eyelash Extensions

Unfortunately not everyone is blessed with lushes long eyelashes aka Cheryl Cole and even a ton of mascara everyday will not give you the look you dream of. Now that could be a thing of the past as you can now get individual false eyelashes fitted to your lashes, what a god send hey!

Individual lashes instantly make your lashes thicker and longer! The price varies but many beauty salons are now offering the treatment for under £100, I think this is a bargain especially if your eyelashes are making you lack in confidence and unhappy.

The good thing with these lashes is that you can choose the look and colour that you want to achieve. I am going to get mine done before I head off on my holiday as I don’t have to worry about applying my waterproof mascara if I have natural lashes. I am going to ask for a natural look but with volume in the corner of my eye and for them to be jet black.

So say hello to longer, thicker, natural looking lashes!

Trend Alert…Blue Nail Varnish

The latest nail varnish colour to be seen in is blue! Celebrities are going crazy for the colour and it has been spotted on the nails of the stunning Hills girls, Eve Mendes and Fearne Cotton.

I must admit when I first looked at a blue nail varnish I was debating for a while but it has grown on me now and looks fab especially on a summer’s day in a pretty dress. It is a fun colour and is more youthful than a dark colour and a little different from red.

I went for the trusty OPI No Room for the Blues nail polish at £9.95 you could probably find one cheaper but it is fab and doesn’t chip.

Would you wear it???

John Frieda’s shampoo and conditioner

I am a huge fan of John Frieda’s products but not on a daily basis!!!

For a week solid I have been shampooing and conditioning my hair every night with John Frieda’s brilliant brunette and OMG my hair is ruined! I usually have soft, frizz-free hair after I have straightened and added my hair products but not now, it is now a huge afro that is bushy and frizzy and I know it is because I have used John Frieda every night on the run because this has never happened and the only thing I am doing different is using John Frieda every day.

I am not slating John Frieda shampoo and conditioner as if you use it at weekends only you will look glam and have the best locks on the dance floor but for everyday shampoo and conditioner it is utter garbage.

For your everyday shampoo and conditioner you should stick to Herbel Essence or Dove, one that really foams your hair up and gives it a good intense clean!

Smooth hands

I always like to take pride of my nails and go for regular manicures to keep my acrylic nails looking white and immaculate but one thing that i seem to neglect a little is my hands. I mean why spend so much on my nails if they are placed on hands that are in need of some serious TLC.

I only realised just how haggard my hands were looking when i went for a Clairvoyant reading and sat in utter shock when some poor woman had to read my palm on dry hands that looked very old. I felt really ashamed and wanted to put some gloves on and run out but instead I sat there for 40 minutes and as soon as it was over headed straight to the Trafford centre to buy hand beauty products LOTS of them too!

I went to The Body Shop to stock up and walked away with a bag full of goodies. I went for Hemp Hand Protector, Thirsty Hands Moisturiser Gloves, Coconut Hand Wash and Almond Refining Hand Scrub.

So very excited with my new purchases I went home and lade them all out ready to make my hands look more like 23 year olds hands and not an 83 year olds! Firstly I started with the Almond Refining Hand Scrub I used this to scrub my hands and spent a few minutes rubbing off the dead skin, then I used the Thirsty Hands Moisturiser Gloves and sat with them on for a couple of hours, these are actually really comfy and a good excuse to sit back with a hot chocolate and relax and not have to do any house work…perfect. When I took the gloves of already my hands were super soft and looked fresh so to finish off the regime I used Hemp Hand Protector, I didn’t think my hands could get any smoother after the gloves but this stuff is amazing, I can understand why it’s the Body Shop’s best-selling hand cream. This is now my little pot of treasure that will have to come every where with me!

So after my hand pamper I am officially a happy girl again with smooth hands and not a dry bit of skin in sight. I will definitely not let my hands get in such bad state again and will always spend a couple of minutes a day to moisture them and every week I will treat myself to a night wearing the cotton gloves. I have also got a bottle of the Coconut Hand Wash in my bathroom and kitchen sink so no excuse for grose hands now and hopefully not such shame when I next go for a Clairvoyant reading!!!
