New Arrival: Nail Varnish, Nudes and Nylons!

'ello tink
how are we all this fine Sunday??

Thought I would show you guys some recent purchases of mine!


Went on a little O.P.I kick!
found a really good store on ebay

I bought L to R:
Tickle my Francey
My Private Jet
Absolutely Alice
Mad as a Hatter
Rapidry Topcoat

I larf them all,
I especially am in love with mad as a hatter
my god its the glitteriest thing I have ever seen
however it was a NIGHTMARE to get off

Nail varnish remover didn't do a lot,
so I resorted to picking it off
and it took half the top layer of my nails with it!

So now they are all uneven and bumpy :(

thought I would show you how I store my polishes





I know its not the most organised of collections,
but I love my paul frank pouch and had to put it to use!

Talking of nail varnish,
when looking through my mothers nail polish box I found these



and she hardly ever wears nail varnish,
and I'm sure I haven't seen her wear these colours even though they are pretty old
So I have borrowed them :)

and I cant believe I forgot to take a picture
I own CHANEL PARTICULIERE
I love it,
I know I'm buying into all the hype
but its such a nice colour

I was on a waiting list for a few weeks from my local Chanel counter
and she phoned me and I went and got it!
I got a little white Chanel paper bag too,
I had a perma-smile for about 2 days!

anyway back to my new arrivals



I got this trompe l'oeil inspired dress from oasis
Its soo cute,
very comfy and easy to wear
I bought it in black with a white print as well!



I got this over sized jumper from New Look
I love its fairytale theme,
and of course nude colouring again!



It even has pearls sewn onto the frame!
I also bought it in grey,
Its over sized so I bought the size down,
Its also slightly cropped



last but not least
I bought these skirts from topshop
I bought the green one first and then went back for the black and grey/lilac
they are made from nylon and elastane
they are almost like thick tights material!
the come in one size,
and they are amazingly stretchy,


they are a really versatile design, you can wear them as a high waisted skirt, t-shirt tucked in
pull them down for a knee length pencil
or ruche it up for a mini!



phew that's it for now guys,

Lust after: Alexander or Alexa - Battle of the Bags


So I want a Designer bag!
I really really want a designer bag,
so I'm going to try and save up,
but which one to choose??

I think a mulberry alexa would be A-Maz-ing
So old school classic, yet modern and chic
*drools*
I love it, but I'm not sure it's edgy enough




On the other hand
I would give my right arm for an Alexander Wang coco Duffel!
Sooo edgy and biker babe,
I really wanna be an Olsen!



But is it too edgy,
When I'm thirty will I wish I'd bought something more timeless??
Its damn sexy though


and Ever since a girl came into the shop wearing this bag
I cant stop thinking about it
by the time I found out what it was... it was sold out!

I think I'm going to try and get my sticky mitts on this one first

probably.....

whats your dream bag?

Getting rid of 25 pairs of shoes :(


So, I've a little shoe problem,
as in I have too many
They seem to multiply, I find them everywhere,
and I have no room to put them all

So instead of not buying anymore shoes,
I'm going to get rid of some!
good idea eh!



I managed to clear out 25 pairs,
and if you think that was me being ruthless,
it wasn't, there were plenty more that should have gone but I kept!
I still have about 100 pairs left so I'm o.k!


Some of them, I bought to decorate,
like the two pairs of high tops in this picture,
I rhinestoned the toes, but actually they don't fit me!



some of them I bought off eBay and I have NEVER even worn
because they don't fit
like the tan boots in this pic,
and what was I even thinking with the camo boots


Some just arn't my style anymore,
Like the blue and red high heels,
and the navy blue brogue heels at the front
who was I kidding, I don't do heels!



Some were just cheap and I have better versions of now,
like the leopard pumps in this pic
and I wrote all over those light blue converse at college!
bad idea, now they look scruffy



Some I have worn to death
the brown toggle boots I have worn the tread off,
they were so comfy I wore them all the time about 4 years ago
and the black buckle strap shoes at the front,
they are probably my oldest pair, I wore them to high school
they have officially had it!
The other black mary janes with a strap (at the back to the left)
I wore to work loads last year,
but they just didn't last very well
they've gone all big :(

about 5 pairs are going straight in the bin
as they are sooo worn out
about 10 are going to the charity shop
nothing wrong with them
and about 10 are going on eBay to be sold
as they are a bit nicer and good names!

Phew
so now I can go out and buy 25 more pairs right?
