Oh Topshop, Oh leopard Print, Oh what a fabulous item you are...

I love Topshop. I love leopard print. Oh, and do I love handbags. Put all of these things together and you get my new clutch bag from Topshop. It's just so beautiful...so much so that it resulted to me posing with it at any given opportunity on a recent night out. Now that's what I call love.
Leopard print is pretty much everywhere at the moment, and I'm loving it!
Other leopard print I'm especially enjoying:
River Island, £39.99.
 
Christian Louboutin, £565 (We can all dream!)

Topshop, £60.00.

Topshop, £85.00

H&M, £7.99.

Leopard print is huge this season, and it definitely made a lovely appearance last winter too. I'm so excited to buy more animal print...without trying to look like Bette Lynch...ha.

Getting eco was pretty good, really...

I'm in love with my new make-up brush. It's so soft on my face, and it's even better by the fact that I know it's great for the environment. My brush is from the range Eco Tools, a company which use earth-friendly materials and donates 1% of sales to For the Planet. Launching in 2008, their sales have grown massively due to huge popularity because of their lovelyjubley brushes.


I bought the powder brush and absolutely love it.
Eco tools say the powder brush is:
"This must-have is ideal for applying and setting your face makeup.  Our ultra-soft, cruelty-free brush delivers an even, all-over dusting of powder.  This brush features a recycled aluminum ferrule, a sleek bamboo handle and our zip-top reusable pouch."
My face never looks too caked after using this brush, and leaves a lovely, natural finish.
Very impressed.
Retailing at £9.99 at Boots.

Oh, I do like to be beside the seasiiiide...

Just a small post of my favourite photos that I took at the beach last weekend, in...would you believe it...Blackpool. A lot of money has been spent on Blackpool pier, the beach and the surrounding area to make it a little more desirable. I thought it was lovely.



I absolutely loved taking these photos because the lighting and the sun shining through the clouds was beautiful.
Such a lovely day.

I've gone and got magnetized!

Everybody seems to be going wild for the magnetic nail varnishes which are currently everywhere! Well, now affordable brand 17 have brought out their own range of magnetic nail varnishes in four lovely colours. They retail at £5.99, but Boots are currently offering £2 off, so  I jumped at the chance!
It was easy to apply, and the consistency of the nail varnish is really good, so just one coat looks lovely, but I applied two as I wanted them super green! When the nails are wet, you hover the magnet over the nail. The magnet is attached to the lid of the nail varnish, and within seconds, your nails have an amazing magnetic effect!

 Although I think they look great, I don't think they're really my style. I like a neutral, matte looking nail varnish, but I'm glad I tried it anyway! I think they make you look twice, so if you're into kooky nails, then go ahead definitely!

What do you think of the new, magnetic nail varnishes? Which ones have you tried?
