polishes of the moment!

Magpie-ism is the term I like to use to describe the chronic disorder of being completely and utterly devoted to anything shiny, metallic or glittery. In winter especially, when the dark nights call for a little bit of sparkle to light up my life, this trait comes out in full force, especially in my nail polish choices.

First up is a recent discovery in Gosh Nail Lacquer in Purple Heart, which is the most beautiful duo-chrome purple, blue, green, black mix that is one of those perfect 'I can't stop staring at my nails' type colours!

In the middle are the beautiful new Magnetism Nail Lacquers by Fashionista in Purple Me Up and Notorious Silver. Not only are these polishes endorsed by none other that the amazing Saturdays (what other reason do you need!?) but also change into the most beautiful wavy interesting pattern when using the magnet. This unique design has acquired me many a compliment on my nails, although the only downside to this range is the chipping- like crazy!

Last but not least and a regular favourite is Accessorize Nail Polish in Bronze which I have already babbled on enough about here, but I just couldn't resist throwing its beautifulness into a post once again!

I am desperately in need to bulk up my 'glitter nail' collection, and am on the hunt for more gorgeous polishes to add, so any recommendation are much appreciated!

Have a lovely week!

baby's got her blue jeans on!

This is what I wore this weekend on a wee trip down the ‘flicks’ to see Breaking Dawn, which I must say is freaking amazing! I have accidentally fallen back in love with Edward Cullen again, and that movie completely rejuvenated my past love affair with Twilight, which had been diminishing slightly after reading the whole series five times!

Jeans - Primark, Jumper - H&M, Shirt - Primark

It was freezing on the day in question and this jumper from H&M, the snuggliest thing ever, just had to have a little trip out to see Bella&Co! My jeans are literally the best thing to come out of Primark; at only £9 they have survived multiple months without fading, stretching, or, god forbid; splitting! The fringe top, also a Primark bargain, actually has a picture of Mickey Mouse on it, which I am a little bit in love with, and I loveee mixing a bit of fringe and aztec pattern- match made in heaven! 

Here's another outfit (from a while ago, bad blogger!) when Mickey got let loose full throttle:

 

That's enough outfit posts for one day from me, what did you think of Breaking Dawn?!

Lots of love from Hannah and Mickey ♥

I never told you.

This was an outfit post I did a while ago near the end of summer but never posted about. I got this cute little dress from H&M and I love it; not only if it bright and colourful, perfect for summer but its a really great colour for Autumn as well matched with a brown belt put over the top of the waistband. I love my Warehouse denim jacket because it is perfect to wear the whole way through the year, rain or shine; it's great for the 'casual' look. I have paired these key items with some Primark brogues and a Miss Selfridge gold lead necklace which I got for £7 in the sale not long ago. How do you all feel about wearing summer items in winter?

 

But I never told you what I should have said, No, I never told you, I just held it in.

And now I miss everything about you, I cant believe it, I still want you.

And after all the things we've been through, I miss everything about you, without you.

Team

Recently, my blog has been transferred from a fashion and beauty blog to more of a fashion and lifestyle blog. This is because I have decided that I have a great love for food photography and the display and colouring of the meals we buy when we are dining out. These images are also from my trip to Edinburgh when I was visiting my sister and we had yet another amazing meal, were I wasn't concerned about the calorie in take or anything health related...I just wanted to have a lovely time, eating yummy food and laughing immaturely to silly things such as 'the connection between men's feet and willy sizes' with my favourite people; my sister and my mum.

Aussie Party

The beautiful Emily from Emily Divine and I ventured together up to Shaftesbury Avenue last Saturday for another gorgeous Aussie Hair Care Event. The evening was filled with Champagne on entrance, half naked waiters carrying scrumptious canape's of chicken and vegetables, glasses of wine, hair stylists, make up artists, ladies painting nails, goodie bags, photographers and finally lots of bloggers! I wore a DIY electric blue dress from New Look for £4, which I cut at the back to create a more waisted look. Then added a Topshop Sale necklace for £3.50 with a bright yellow stone in the middle which contrasted with the electric blue! I had my make up done with some lovely Maxfactor products, such as gold eye shadow, blusher and some lip tint. Then I had my hair curled by a great hair stylist who was on the hit TV show on Channel 4 'Great British Hairdresser' and I loved the look he created. Wish I could recreate this easily as it only took him 5 minutes! Emily and I definitely thought that the journey to London was worth it for such an fun and relaxing evening of socialising and pampering!

I have also added some images taken by the fantastic photographer Sam Witney from throughout the night.

sixth form wardrobe 2.0

Now its getting into November, the nights are getting darker, the weather colder and the school workload heavier. However, a new school term calls for just one thing. A new mental attitude to learning? A new pencil case? No, a new sixth form wardrobe of course!

Over half term I took a little trip down to Oxford Street with the sole objective of obtaining as many new sixth form clothes as humanely possible; I get extremely bored of wearing the same things over and over again! Here's a few brand new outfits I will be stringing together this term as I slug over my maths homework...

Dress - H&M, Belt - Primark, Cardigan - Pull&Bear

Skirt - Warehouse, Blouse - Warehouse, Blazer - H&M, Belt - Primark

Blouse - Primark, Skirt - H&M

Shirt - Primark, Skirt - Matalan, Cardigan - Pull&Bear

Skirt - H&M, Shirt - Primark, Blazer - H&M

To see my original set of outfits for sixth form, here's Sixth Form Wardrobe 1.0!

I am still desperately in need of some beautiful chino type trousers to wear in the colder months, can you believe I haven't worn trousers to school once in the 5 years I've been there!? Must change that soon!

Have a great weekend my lovelies!
