swoon'n.

how perfect are both of these outfits! the dress on the left reminds me of a dress i had when i was a little girl.. I WANT!

friendships.

i had a very creative weekend making these bright bands to decorate my friends and my wrists.

rose gold and newspaper.

so as a follow on from my extra extra. article, i saw my quiet weekend as the perfect opportunity to give this trend a try. a little trickier than i expected but still looked great! this is definately something you need take your time with.

sorry about the dodgey iphone photo

friday needs.

noticed how i've used the word 'need' instead of 'want'...

julian.

only a true rockstar could pull off a name like julian casablancas and only this true rockstar can make my heart melt.

as the face of azzaro's new perfume "decibel", julian looks in his element on stage promoting the cologne shaped like a microphone. this just reiterates to me why i'm absolutely heads over heels for this new yorkian.

european dreamin'.

so happy to say, i'm off to europe in november (5 days after my birthday) and i literally cannot wait! as i write lists for practically everything, i've alread started planning my outfits, right down to what jewellery to wear with each outfit and yes i am well aware it's still 3 months away...

now planning for a place i've never been to nor have i experienced a true winter season, it's hard to know what i can and can't get away with hence why i have turned to my trusty street style blogs for tips and advice on how to keep warm yet stylish! no joggers and jeans here thank you very much! below are some of my picks.

extra extra.

i painted my nails last night and you know when you actually take the time to do them and you cant stop looking at them... well thats me right now! but, after seeing this... i'm so tempted to take it off and spend my friday night perfecting the newspaper nails. want to know how it's done? seeeee below

1. tidy up your nails, push your cuticles back and file to the desired shape.

2. apply 2 coats of a neutral nail colour, or i prefer a light grey such as O.P.I alpine snow- matte, wait until completely dry.

3. next, dip your nails into some alcohol, this acts as a glue for the news print. vodka is more preferable.

4. now the fun part! lay some newspaper across your nail, completely covering it. gently pressed down and rub but be sure not to move the paper.

5. slowly peel the newspaper off each nail to reveal your print.

6. lastly, apply a clear top coat nail polish to keep it sealed.

enjoy :)
