Models Own ♥

Finally my second Models Own nail varnish package has arrived. I wasn't very impressed that it took well over a week to get here when the delivery stated 3-5 days. However I wasn't disapointed with the nail varnishes at all. As usual I love them, I went for purple/pinky colours this time as I'm feeling quite summery. They are on offer on the website so if you buy 3 you get £3 off. So I paid £12 for these three:

Raspberry Crush 057

Lilac Dream 049

Pink Blush 037

I love all three shades, but my favourite is the Pink Blush as it's very summery and very Barbie-esque. All three with done with just one coat which dried really quickly which is why I love Models Own nail varnishes as they are such good quality. I'm already deciding on colours for my next purchase ....

My bedroom ♥

Thought I would share with you my bedroom that I share with the boy. I love my bedroom its my own little sanctuary, it's not exactly how I'd have it if I was on my own . But that's what happens when you share with someone you compromise. He does let me get away with quite a few girly things as you will see.

This is the view from then door of my bedroom. As you can see , it's a mixture of chocolate brown and teal which looks gorgeous together .

My bed , hands down my favourite place to be ! Also I share my bed with two characters from toy story and then the boy too.

This is part of my feature wall. Got a little theme going on here with the bird cages and little birds, I love things like that. 

This is Craig's wardrobe which has all of my stuffed toys on top. Including a lot of penguins, I've got a thing about penguins . I love them. Also if this is Craig's wardrobe this leaves the question where do I keep my clothes? Well Im saving that for last, but it's definately not in the bedroom as we have loads of clothes between us and I didn't want the room being crammed full of wardrobes so I had to get creative. I will go into further detail later.

This is my desk / dressing table , this has another theme going on all together. And the theme is definately cupcakes , yet another thing I love not that im fickle or anything..

Firstly these are my cupcake drawers which I keep my jewellery in ( colour coded of course) and my headbands. The cupcake box is where I keep all my make-up and the spotty box is for my receipts. 

Then there's my treasured cupcake stand which I use to store my pretty sprays , nail varnishes and earrings to stop them tangling.

Next up is my piece de resistance which is my walk in wardrobe which I created from what used to be the eletric cupboard which is the door right next to my bedroom.

1. This photo is to give a general idea of the size of my wardrobe. I used an off cut of carpet and painted it hot pink. Put in a rail and some drawers and voila I had a wardrobe

2. This is its secondary function of an electric cupboard

3.Clothes , shoes and bags

Close up of my gorgeous bags , shoes and clothes ♥

Right that is my bedroom. It contains all my favourite things cupcakes , penguins and vintage style birds and bird cages. I like to keep it tidy and love to spend time in there with Craig.

What I've been buying ♥

Hey , today I'm going to be showing a selection of my favourite purchases from the last few weeks. As you will be able to tell from this post , I have been treating myself a lot recently. But what the hell , I'm worth it !!

Left : £13   Right: £9

These are both Primark playsuits and I love them , they both have a gorgeous floral pattern on and the first one has gorgeous black buttons down the front.

These are my first playsuits as I love them but wasn't sure whether they's suit me or not and for these prices it was worth buying to try them .

Left : £18 Be Beau at Matlan Right : £12.99 New Look

I love the denim waistcoat , I tend to wear a lot of floaty girly things so wanted something a bit more rocky and this was perfect with the stonewash denim and studs.

And the New Look dress I love , really good for trying out a nautical look and just £12.99 which is the full price not sale. Theres also some buttons on the back which you cant see but they look really nice.

Im going to be wearing it with leggings and some flat espadrilles I think.

This is also available in red.

Left : £7 New Look  Right: £15 River Island

These are my most recent purchases which I got yesterday. On my home from Uni I couldn't resist a nose around the shops as most have a mid season sale on and I wasn't disappointed. The first top I loved, as I love the trend of collared tops and the monochrome of the black and white. And was reduced from £14.99 to £7.

The second top is a gorgeous peach colour, a colour I've wanted to try for ages. You can't really tell from the photo but the back of the top is split which I love as it's different and unusual.

Left : £12.99  Right : £17.99          http://www.funkydivaa.com/

Both of these are from an online shop called Funky Divaa. I had a code for 15% off from the lovely Fay's blog (http://faydanielle.blogspot.com/2011/04/are-you-funkydivaa.html)

I was a bit dubious as some of these sites are good as they're cheap but the clothes can be of really bad quality. However I love the dress, it is the perfect coral colour that I love. And i already have the perfect black lace shoes and bag to go with it.

The blouse is gorgeous too , the only problem I have with it is the vest that comes with it is tiny and has no stretch. But that's not a problem as it's not attached and I have loads of vests I can put underneath it instead.

New Scent ♥

I have been looking for a new perfume for a while now . I was using Vera Wang Princess which I loved but after it ran out I decided I wanted a change. I also had a nearly full bottle of Jean Paul Gaultier which is my all time favourite perfume, but it is way too heavy for everyday use,so that's kept for special ocassions. After spending a lot of time in the shop smelling everything , I decided on CK IN2U.

Described on the Boots website as:

spontaneous and seductive. It opens with a burst of pink grapefruit fizz, tart red currant leaves and zesty sicilian bergamot. The heart produces a surge of mouth watering sugar orchid that mingles with the hypnotic nectar of the white Cactus. The fragrance is lit from within as warm neon Amber floods throughout, while the base notes are flush with the seductive scents of luscious Vanilla soufflé and smoldering red Cedar

This sounds to me like something I'd rather eat than smell of , particuarly the luscious vanilla souffle. However it is a gorgeous light fresh scent which is really sweet and feminine. 

It is absolutley perfect for summer and for £24.95 for 150ml , you can't go wrong. 

Also I thought the bottle is really nice and different from the usual type of bottles so it makes a very welcome addition on my dressing table

The wanderer has returned...

I am finally back and able to blog after getting my laptop fixed which decided to break just after I decided to come back to blogging. So tomorrow it will be business as usual and I will try to do a post a day. Not sure how that will turn out.

Looking forward to writing my blog and reading other peoples blogs again.

Sorry Barry M , for I have sinned...

Hey , First up is a bit of an apology. I haven't blogged since Valentines Day  and to be honest I wasn't planning on starting again. I was just lacking inspiration and feeling like I didn't have nice clothes/make-up to write about. I'm sure other people get like this when you feel like you have no clothes,make up etc.But I have decided to keep going as I genuinely enjoy writing a blog even if no one reads it and I am just writing it for myself as I find it therapeutic.

This post is about the new love of my life ( nail varnish wise anyway :P ) , Models Own. This was my first order and I bought these 3 nail varnishes:

Coral Reef

Nude Beige

Peach Sherbet

These three are my perfect spring nail colours. They are the first nude and peach colours I have bought, being a red/pink girl for so long , and I adore them.So subtle yet pretty and girly.

Overall the nail varnishes are in lovely bottles , go on smoothly , drive very quickly and don't generally need more than one coat despite being quite subtle colours. The only downfall is the price which is quite steep at £5 a bottle but they do have some offers on their website such as 6 for £20 although the colours are set but you pick from different box sets but it is still a good deal and there are some lovely colours:

These nail varnishes have become my new favourite nail varnish range and has stolen the title from Barry M which has been my fave for a long time now and didn't think they could be replaced but they have.

I can't wait to place my next order!!
