Olsen obsession...

Like pretty much every other girl in the world, I have always had an Olsen obsession and I find their style so inspiring and unique!!

EVERY true Olsen fan has a particular twin that they admire
and look up to and support the
fashion of over the other.



Mine?

The Unbelievably gorgeous Ashley Olsen.

*Sigh* I wish I looked like her!*
I have LOVED the Olsen duo ever since I bought Passport to Paris, my first ever Mary-Kate and Ashley video (haha videos!! I feel like such an old woman!!)

They both dress incredibly but for me Ashley's style is so effortlessly chic and timeless.

This dress is so chic it makes me want to cry!!!
Teaming burnt orange fur with black accessories - Perfection.
Even going to get Starbucks in denim hot-pants, ray bans and a bandana, she looks so chic.
Louboutin ankle boots are always a good shout, especially with a french style monochrome outfit.
Her black blazer is just to die for!!!

 They constantly wear gorgeous outfit after gorgeous outfit and I will follow their fashion forever!

HOWEVER
 I did worship their style at age 11 and it did not turn out well!



CASE AND POINT.

BUT.
To conclude....
I love the Olsen twins' fashion sense and style and I was one of the first to buy their book Influence!!
It's the PERFECT book to read or flick through the photos when feeling the fashion bug!


mmmmm all this Olsen talk is making me crave a feel good film...


BLISS.

I'd love to know who you're favourite Olsen sister is and if you're inspired by their style!

Benefit spluurge.... ♥

So I was in town and had a mini money spluuuurge!!!!


Benefit



I boooought...


Two Benefit Lipsticks

I LOVE Benefit lipsticks, they are creamy and moisturising and have a full-colour coverage and a light, glossy sheen with no perceptible shimmer. I have been a huge supporter of these for a while now and would recommend them wholeheartedly so I added another cheeky two to my collection!!


♥ Benefit Lipstick in 'Wild Card'
A beautiful pigmented plum coloured creamy lipstick
(comes out quite dark but it makes your lips look scrummy)

♥ Benefit Lipstick in 'La La Land'
A pink-brown nude creamy lipstick

♥ Benefit blusher in 'Sugarbomb'
I am really excited about sampling this product!! I use benefit powder blushers religiously but I have never used this blusher and have heard only great things about it.
It is described as 'a swirl of 4 complimenting, shimmering shades of peach, soft plum, pink and rose' that come together to create 'natural radiance' giving you a 'sweet rush of gorgeous'
SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.


                                                  ♥





SEQUINS AND SPARKLES!

I am currently on the hunt for a gorgeous pair of...
SPARKLY/ SEQUIN HOTPANTS.

Last year, I borrowed a friend's sequin hot pants for a night out in Brighton and I LOVED them but since then I haven't been able to find any! I'm open to most colours, preferably nude/mink tones or navy blue/ black. I think they'd be perfect for summer!!!
I love anything that sparkles!

(I know I look like a dwarf in this picture!! Haha)

If any of you know any links to sparkly sequin hot pants or know any brands that have them in stock, please let me know!!!!

Thanks girlies

Girly haul....


I got paid today AND it was a gorgeously sunny day SO I decided to celebrate by doing a cheeky bit of shopping!
Alarm bells for bank account!!!

First Stop:

Starbucks

In my opinion, when doing a shop, a chocolate Starbucks frappuccino is essential for keeping you hydrated and refreshed! The worst thing in the world when shopping is having a splitting headache! I always carry around a refreshing drink and a snack with me to stop me from losing energy.

Then to...

Jack Wills

I bought......
The Merrifield Dress in Cream Floral £79.50

 The Merrifield Dress in Navy floral £79.50                     The Ellenthorpe Dress in blue floral £98

The Hemsley Dress in blue/white stripe £69.50

 FOUR DRESSES!!!! EEEEEK
BUT I really should mention that I do work at Jack Wills so I get a mega mega discount on the clothes that I buy there!!

The on to:

Dare Hairdressers

Moroccan Hair Oil £12.99

This Moroccan hair oil is pretty expensive for a pretty small bottle but it works WONDERS on my hair. I have really REALLY thick curly hair that I straighten regularly and it dries my hair out and gives me split ends. I massage my hair when towel dried with only a tiny dollop of Moroccan oil and then straighten with my GHDs and it leaves my hair gorgeous and shiny! I really recommend this product, it enriches the hair and leaves it looking incredible and glossy.

The 'Original' Tangle Teezer in Bubblegum Pink £10.20


Tangle Teezers are my go to hair product! These detangling brushes not only work amazingly, gliding through any hair pain-free no matter how knotted it is, but are also so cheap and really pretty. They come in lots of different sizes and colours so I have several to fit my mood!! Lame I know!!



And then...

 I went home and made myself something to make me feel better about all that money I spent!!!



Overall a good GOOD day in my opinion.
Hope you're all having a wonderful easter!!


A teensy little jewellery haul...

 There is a gorgeous little jewellery shop on my high street called 'Lola Rose', on my way home today I nipped inside (just for a second) but left with a pretty huge dent in my bank account...

WHOOPS...

RING LOVING ♥






Tahoe Ring (Blue Sandstone)                                                                               Posey Ring (Powder Blue Quartzite)
                  £49                                                                                                                                              £45

I never really wear rings but I really want to start and I think these two GORGEOUS new ones are the perfect addition to my jewellery collection. I really really love them, especially the colours, I think they will look fantastic in summer with a sundress when I'm tanned.

Now lets just cross our fingers for sun!!!




Sunny day ♥

I'm not sure about the rest of the world but in London today the weather was absolutely gorgeous, (I say gorgeous but what I mean is that it wasn't snowing or raining and there was a faint glimmer of sun).
So as a true Brit, I put on my flipflops and my summer dress and walked to town with a friend to celebrate with a smoothie and a summer bagel.
BLISS.

(mine far left: Peachy Pink Smoothie and a Mediterranean vegetable, goats cheese and avocado bagel. Chris' far right: Rise and Shine Smoothie and a Bacon, brie, pesto and avocado bagel.)

Mmmmmmmmmm.

What a find!!


HUGE bottle of wine my friend and I found today.
It was literally half my height, I know I'm only 5ft3 but STILL!!!
Shame I don't really like red wine.....

Fingers crossed there's a bottle out there that big that has hot chocolate in it!!
mmmmmm
