wishlist #1 cray nails

Staying in London does bad things to this shoestring budget of mine: it makes me want EVERYTHING!!! So rather than parting with my cash, I'm trying to write everything down in a "wishlist"...this list will, of course, be never ending...but I like lists, and maybe it will help me prioritise (aka make my money stretch...somehow...)
Being in the More office, I am not only surrounded by amazing clothes, shoes and products, but I also have Covent Garden- my favorite place in London- on the doorstep, AND I get to read through lots of amazing fashion and beauty blogs to find trends. It's HOPELESS- too much nice stuff. Here's my wishlist of the week.

1. Next-level Nail Art
Those of you who know me in real life probably know that I am a little obsessed with nail art. Currently, I'm rocking these:

Bindi nails with eggshell blue lined tips and glitter

and before that, I had these done- understated but chic for a week which included both a funeral (unfortunately) and a party:

Nude almond shaped nails with heart tips

So hopefully now you get the idea. I like nails. "Like" being an understatement...and anything a little out of the ordinary or eye catching draws me in like a moth to a flame.

So you can imagine my excitement when I discovered this:

The "Caviar manicure" by Ciate is a revolution in nail art- simple and glamorous with an edge, giving us a revolution in 3d and textured nails. 

Needless to say I LOVE these and can't wait to get my hands on a set!! As well as the black and white, you can also get a rainbow set- which to me look adorably like hundreds and thousands, but personally I think I will be going for the black. The colours look great with the light catching it.

Next on the list is velvet nails. These were actually on the runway way back in February, with MAC makeup artist Keri Blair creating the look for Ruffian at New York Fashion week.

Velvet is one of my favorite things to wear anyway (I may or may not be guilty of possessing enough items to put together a whole velvet outfit- including underwear), so I find these very exciting indeed!! Definitely on my to-do list, but these aren't actually on the market to buy. I may start out by experimenting with velvet tips- I expect it will take a few goes before I get it right, but this is definitely something on the "to-do" list!

Last but not least, another trend I noticed at the beginning of the year that I still haven't got round to purchasing myself, the Meadham Kirchhoff Nail Rock nail wraps!

I must admit I'm not entirely sold on nail wraps- I find most of the high street designs rather (dare I say it) tacky- I'm not a huge fan of metallic nails or wild patterns on every finger- but this is why I love these, the mix-and-match.

more wishlists soon...x

Back at More!!!!

woo woo woo woo!!!

Citizens of Farah

Do you know who Gavin Watson is? You should.











Watson has made a household name for himself in the world of photography by capturing the people he knew and the gangs they hung out with in the 80s: the intimate and underground world of skinheads and punks. He even has the approval of true skinhead and director of This is England, Shane Meadows, who wrote the forward for his latest book Skins and Punks.

Do you want the opportunity to assist this legendary photographer?

Watson is a regular contributor to VICE magazine and shoots campaigns for FARAH VINTAGE, both of whom have teamed up to give someone the amazing opportunity to assist Gavin in Farah's "Citizens of Farah" project. All you have to do is upload a photo of yourself to their facebook page. Simple as that.

GOOD LUCK

Song(s) of the week: Drive Obsession

So a few weeks ago I watched Drive and now it's one of my favorite films and I've seen it 6 times.

This is my new favorite song. I honestly can't communicate how much I love it and how many times I've played it- probably the best person to ask is my housemate Kal, as he showed me the song before we watched the film but now he hates it from me being obsessed and overplaying...








another great song from the movie is this one by Desire.




please help me I'm obsessed with this film, soundtrack and Ryan Gosling.

Oh it's been a while...

I really have struggled to get back into the habit of blogging after work experience, but today is as good a day to pick up as any!! I'm home now for Easter, and today spent a lovely day by the river in town with some friends.
I began the day with a trip to Sonning with my parents and Paddy. It's so lovely there, we often take Paddy when we all have a day off together. Take a look at the cute teaset my cuppa was served in!!

Here's Paddy looking happy in the sunshine:

When we got home I drove (in my cute new red micra!!) to Fi, Jack and Rocco's to enjoy the rest of the day in the sunshine. Here are my snaps of the day:


Rocco in the sun hat that she hated

Fi, Rocco and the ball

Matt had taken a trip to toys'r'us before joining us, so came armed with loads of fun things like rounders bats and a frisbee!!

Me and my favourite little lady

Rocco and daddy

Rocco and the excersize ball that becca brought down which was lots of fun !!

My favourite photo of the day :)

It really felt like a lovely summers day today, I'm so keen for more days like this!! Xxxxx

An apology!!

Since I have been home from work experience, I've been full-throttle with 2 hand-ins and FOUR!!! New projects.....so please forgive me that I've been so quiet!!!
There is much to write about so I will pick up where I left off...
