Fashion Fix: Topshop's Take on the Furla Candy Bag

If you're anything like me,

you will have spotted the Furla Candy Bag everywhere last summer.

I loved them, kitsch plastic colourful bags

what's not to like!

 I had looked into getting one, but with an RRP of £200 it wasn't meant to be

Well, Imagine my joy when this week I spotted these similar bags on Topshop.com

In a range of colours and shapes, topshop have really had a great go at the jelly bag trend.

This shape is so similar to the Candy Bag, that it would be rude not to get it!

Although I love the bright colours,

I'm also quite taken by this cream / nude style

They would all be great for SS12

See all the styles here (check out the rucksack versions too)

what do you think of toppers designer remake??

New Orange Hair & FOTD

 Hello *waves*

once again a happy new year to you all,

I bet you're all enjoying being back at work/uni/wherever else you don't want to be!

I just thought I'd Show you guys my new hair, and a bit of a FOTD

I dyed my hair myself, after finding the prefect product thanks to Madame G over at

Baroque Boudoir

So thanks for your very useful post lady!

I used majicontrast in Copper

and then go over the top again every time I wash it 

with a mixture of Orange Crazy Colour and conditioner, 

just to keep it nice and bright!

I also got it cut recently and am really loving the way she did it!

On My Face I Am Wearing:

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation & Concealer (palest shade)

 

Too Faced Absolutely Invisible Candlelight Pressed Powder

Mac Fafi 'Belightful' Pressed Powder

No7 Mirror Ball Highlighter Pressed Powder

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Various Eye Shadows from Urban Decay Book of Shadows 2

Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Zero

Loreal Millionize Mascara (which isn't that good)

Ruby & Millie Brow Colour (now discontinued booo)

Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick in Taheran

I think that's everything :)

Have a good week everyone!

Lust After: Lotsa Lamps

Some of my favourite bloggers (who have awesome taste) 

have been blogging about interesting lights

(including Gem, Georgina & Queen Marie )

and quite a few have also caught my eye, 

so I thought I'd collect together my favourite ones in one post

Cream Ella the Dog Lamp £40 Ben De Lisi @ Debenhams

Black Ella the Dog Lamp £40 Ben De Lisi @ Debenhams

Aren't these lamps adroable,

as far as I can tell  its they are French Bulldogs,

Really different and quirky too

Bunny Lamp £35 Next

I instantly thought of this lamp when I saw the Ben Di Lisi ones,

Oh Em Gee it's a bunny :)

a little more affordable too!

Moooi Rabbit Lamp £320 The French Bedroom Company

As far as I can tell this bunny lamp came first,

a little too similar no?

But obviously much more expensive

Lapin Lamp £46 Lapin & Me

And once I'd found 2 rabbit lamps I was on a roll

I loove this pink one,

and I like that they light from the inside

so the whole bunny glows

White Rabbit Children's Lamp £59 John Lewis

And bunny lamps are not just for the grown-up

this children's version is so sweet,

and the best bit is even though it's for children

grown-ups can buy it if they want to!

Cream Tea Time Ceramic Lamp £110 Laura Ashley

But if you're a proper grown-up

you might prefer something a little more sophisticated like this teacup lamp

Teacups Table Lamp £50 Next

Are you spotting a pattern here??

I find a lovely but pricey lamp,

then I see that next have used it for 'inspiration'!

(in all honestly I like Nexts versions and I would buy them purely on price)

Various Awesome Lamps from £54.99  from Goodness Gracious

The more I searches,

the more I found!

Incredible lights everywhere,

Varieties of luminous colors

and in loads of different shapes

*at this point my mind was blown*

I WANT A NEW LAMP

(but I don't actually need one because I have a lovely red one..

but it's not quite as nice as these)

New Pastel Lilac Hair

You may have seen on Twitter yesterday,

but If you didnt, Here is my new hair!

Yummy Pastel Lilac Hair,

I like it, a lot :)

I've washed it since and it's already much paler, 

I'll have to keep topping it up regularly

Lipstick: Mac Morange

Eyeliner: Urban Decay 24/7 in Baked

Skin: Laura Geller, Balance 'n' Brighten in Fair

Balance 'n' Brighten is my HG face product btw, 

it covers my rosacea in no time, and makes my skin look how I wish it did naturally!

Would any of you be interested in a guide to hair dying etc?

Lust after: pastel rainbow hair!

Oh Em Gee

I need pastel hair

STAT
