Rating: Glittery Nails!

I've slowly, but surely fallen in love with Max Factor's Max Effect nail polish - especially because it works well with the Christmas and New Year period. I bought it in Ivory (02), which is has very fine glitter in it. Most people think glitter is tacky, which is an understandable opinion as most glitter nail varnishes have large chunky glitter flakes, but I am sure those people will beg to differ once they see this nails varnish. 


I was also shocked by the size of that bottle at first glance. It's tiny! However, once I tried it, it felt like a very good quality nail varnish and it's chip resistant, which makes me feel like it was (slightly) worth it.  I put on a manicure pink nail varnish first to give it a more natural shade.


I am also thinking of trying OPI's Gone Gonzo nail lacquer. Let's hope I am just as impressed with that as I am with this. 


Score: 8/10

I believe every female should own a cable knit jumper. My pink cable knit sweater has recently become my second favourite jumper in my wardrobe - right after my Aran Jumper, which stole my heart the moment we met.

Seeing the Stars At Night

I am a city girl; but going to the countryside has become my yearly ritual during the long summer holidays. When I go, during this period of time, I go in quite a large group, which consists of people from places across England and Wales.

I have learnt to become one with nature and (most importantly) if you shower in the afternoon, expect an army of flies to congregate above your head.Now, I cannot imagine sheering the sheep and mowing the fields, but the joy that one gets from being away from practically everything 'city' is indescribable. It starts with the withdrawal symptoms such as feeling the non existent phone vibrate in your shorts, but ends with a solitary tear as you silently wish you could stay for just a little bit longer.

The people you meet on this trip, you will never forget - along with the amazing view of the stars at night.

The xx- Heart Skipped a Beat

In my life, I have experienced a lot of 'love'. I think Love is such a weird thing. It has many levels: from generic love, such as loving a meal, to agape Love. It is such a powerfull word that can create or destroy any relationship. Should so much power be put in a single word?

With all the greatness that this word brings, I am scared of it. They say it is something you cannot control. That gives me the idea that Love controls us. We fall in love, we think about that person all the time, we want them to be happy before we are, but do not get to choose when we feels this way and towards whom .

Twin Magazine

If you have never heard of Twin magazine, then you you are most certainly missing out. I went to one of Twin's events in Old Street and I must say, it was very fun.

The theme of the party definitely represented them from the drinks made from scratch to the creative appetisers.I also skimmed through the pages of the magazine and realised this was not like any ordinary magazine - I am not talking about the fact is hard back and very very thick. It has a unique edge like no other, which Ralph Lauren seems to agree.

To Love Is To Lie

He looked me in the eyes,
Tells me he loves me,
I postulate the pros of being with someone so divine,
But i reply with a heavy heart,
'I do not love anymore'.
His once so bright and beautiful eyes glisten,
The pain so apparent that I struggle to hide my own.
oh love, my love, this is your fault,
this heart of mine does not mend.

Poem by Myself
Ring bought at a convention a few years ago

"A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song."

If you have never heard of this song, it is by Bon Jovi but covered in this video by a singer called Birdy. Birdy is 14 in this video - as hard as it may be to beleive.



I love everything about this song and video. From her voice, to the way she is dressed, to the general style of the video. She sings the song with such passion that everytime I listen to it - which is much more than you would assume - butterflies frolock frantically around in my stomach. If you dare to disgree with me, you do not know music.



This is not Birdy but the style of this girl is very much like her own. I also love the colours in this dress - as one would expect me to; most of my outfits are based around these colours.
