We'll be back on Bank Holiday Monday with a birthday MAC giveaway, when JEM is a year older haha.

Good enough to eat...

I always find it quite hard to buy birthday and christmas presents for my bestie as we both have different tastes on some things, then other things we agree on (if that makes sense). Now the other week when I was reading Steph's blog I came across a review on her cousin Heather's jewellery making business- Little Creations Jewellery.

Now as soon as I saw the pictures of her licorice allsorts bracelets I knew the bestie would love the items from this site, as she loves kitch and unusual jewellery. And as I was stumped on what to buy her, I knew this was fate!! Now there is a shop in Durham- not naming no names who sell their own version of the licorice all sorts bracelet and I think dolly mixture ones too- at £18 each, yes you read right- £18.

What I love about Heather's jewellery that even though everything is handmade by Heather herself, but the items are reasonably priced- which is brilliant.

These are the items I bought...

Whippy Cupcake key ring- £3.50. I think I am going to order one of these for myself as its too cute. Also I think JEM will probably one want after seeing this, as she is obsessed with cupcakes.

Bow and Penguin hair slides £2 a pair. 

Some close ups- how cute are the penguins??

Honestly I can't rave enough of how fab Heather's items are, if you're stuck for a last minute Christmas gift, or just want to buy something for yourself- have a look on Heather's site.

These gingerbread men earrings are my favourite- and there are pirate gingerbread men too!!!

...MAD FRIDAY!!!

Oh how I love this day, fingers crossed that as you read this, the snow has kept away and I'm out painting the town red.

Hopefully I will have figured out something decent to wear, or I'll be out in a bin bag.

Anyway here's some pics which have summed up my last couple of weeks...

Hope you're all having a fab Mad Friday!!! xxxx

Je Suis Un Liability

This is why I don't do outfit of the day photos....

Take 1- unable to understand the timer setting.

Take 2- still unable to fathom out the timer setting.

Take 3- Kinda got the hang of it- need to move faster.

Take 4- nearly break my neck. 

Take 5- flustered. 

Ignore the random crap on my bed./gormless pose.

Wearing Kate Moss for Topshop Dobby Dress

Temptation...

I like to plan, I like to make lists, I like to plan for the unexpected. I like a good plan!!

So as I'm off to York next Thurs to abuse CCO for some Mac goodies, the aim was to buy no more Mac and clothes until then....


Step into Fenwicks at Newcastle and that went straight out of the window.


Now whenever I buy Mac in Newcastle I always go to the small counter on the ground floor next to the doors (people from the NE will know what I'm on about), as I prefer the customer service there. However as it was so busy (probs cause the mua are so nice), I had to go to the main counter downstairs.


After seeing the swatches of Cut a Caper on Vivianna's blog I decided just to get that lipstick and nothing else. Did I end up getting that lippy?? Nope...

I ended up getting the empty 15 pan pallette, Woodwinked eyeshadow to go in it, and then my 4th choice lippy (Patisserie) as everything was sold out and they couldn't be bothered to phone upstairs.

Look at my poor empty pallette. I am really OCD about my makeup (no-one is allowed to touch it) hence the shadow being in a random place. Fingers crossed next week I can find some goodies to go in it.

Patisserie is on the left, Woodwinked on the right. Really liking wearing Woodwinked for work, and then mixing it with Honey Lust and Mythology for a more golden smokey eye.

As long as I can remember my parents would take me and my brother to Fenwicks to look at the christmas window, and then when I was at uni in Newcastle the "Fenwicks Christmas Window is Coming" signs would always get me in the mood for Christmas.

While looking through the Fenwicks Christmas Shop... I came across these rather interesting decorations..

Nice massive raindeer.

I wanted to get the owl to scare my Dad, how freaky is it!!!

Has anyone been to the CCO in York lately?? Whats the stock like??

Remember the blog has a formspring if you want to ask any serious or stupid questions xxx

Dress Envy

I heart Olivia Rubin dresses.... I want want want.

Love her statement party dresses and how versatile they can be- you can dress them up or down.

This is the time of year when I normally start looking for THE perfect dress for the Winter period- yes I know I am early- but tis the season to be jolly (and look fabulous). I need to put the effort in haha.

I'm still loving her paint splattered esq dresses- I think I may splurge some cash on one of these dresses. Here's my favourite...

Cezane Dress £109 (Coconutalley.com) and Gaudi Paint Splattered Dress £115 (my-wardrobe.com)

Matisse Dress £99 (Coconutalley.co.uk)

What to get, what to get?? Actually fingers crossed I win the lottery tonight and then I can buy all three!! xxx
