Whats in my travel bag....







So this is what i take when i travel, thought i would share it all with you.....
Im a gold kinda girl and you will see this theme with all my travel accessories!
I have a gold iPad case, travel wallet and passport holder!
Some of my favourite must have items to travel with are my Bobbi brown eye cream, Clarins beauty flash balm and hand cream, I find the plane really dry's my skin out so all these products are perfect.
I also always take hand sanitizer, Airboure (an american multi vitamin made for the plane) and good old vaseline for them dry lips.
I have my gold and black carry on case which i adore, its from Topshop and fits everything in perfectly and also has a handy removable bag that sits on the top.
So im all set all i need to do is get my self to the airport.....Adios amigo!!!!!!!  

Off to Dubai baby...


Hiya, I'm very lucky that tomorrow I'm off to dubai!!!! I can't wait its one of my favourite places in the world. Its amazing for shopping and going out, it has some stunning bars and restaurants! A few of my fav bars are bubba bar, Cavalli bar and Brasti bar i will be definitely be visiting them over there weekend.


The weather in Dubai is always wonderful, never seen a cloud in the sky since i have been going there. This will be my 7th time visiting i can't get enough of the weather .....


I plan on doing a spot of shopping while I'm there, the best shopping mall is the Dubai mall! it has every shop you could possible imaging, a well as an indoor ice rink and a Aquarium, which is the biggest tank in the world! This mall is pretty impresses and definitely worth a visit....


The hotels in Dubai are world renowned for being all 5* + my personal favourite is the Westin hotel! This time I'm staying at the Hilton Residence in a 2 bed apartment...


I will take lots of photos while I'm there so i can post them when i get back, hopefully i buy lots of fab things  to share with you too....

This seasons bag envy!!!

Here are some of my favourite bag of this season.....


Firstly this, the Celine bag, its amazing!!! The bright blue leather and suede stands out so much and would definitely catch your eye, but i would buy it in the classic black as its a timeless piece...this bag has been seen on many celebrities arms including Kim and  Kourtney Kardashian!!! If its good enough for them its good enough for me...haha! 
This will set you back a massive £1,500


Secondly this is the all time classic Prada tote, very classy simple but yet stunning! This bag is very understated, very simple design but would look great on anyones arm...especially mine! This season it comes in a fabulous range of pale pastel colours...lush!!!
The price tag of this one is £1,100  


Last this is the Alexander Wang rocco studded bag! Love this casual everyday bag, not so structured as my other favourites above but still as mega! Its de-stresed leather gives it a more everyday chilled look, would look great with some leggings and a leather jacket!!
This is slightly more affordable than the others £750.

Make-Up splurge....

This weekend i have been to London with  my family and while i was there i did some retail therapy (would have been rude not too..ha) While i was there i got some great new items of clothing as well as some new pieces of make-up...
The best place to try on and look at all the different make-up brands is Selfridges Oxford street, its my favourite place to browse. The cosmetics hall is huge with every brand you could ever think of...


I looked around a lot of my usual make up brands that i use..Ysl, Dior, Bobbie brown Mac etc but i really wanted to try a new brand, Nars has always interested me and i have read some great stuff about this brand.
I headed over to the counter to be greeted by a really nice italian man to help me look and try!
I picked a few products that i really liked! 
I was very pleased with them and here is a few items that i purchased!!! 


Also on my make up splurge i purchased this great eyeshadow set from urban decay called naked 2. I have has my eye on this for a while it cost £36 which i think is a reasonable price considering you get 12 different shades and a eyeshadow brush too! I really really liked the colours in the set, some nice pale and nude colours for everyday use. 

I decided to try Nars lip loss, eyeshadow set, and there pro primer  which is a smudge proof eye shadow base!!


These are the eyeshadow i brought, on the left the set of two is called 'all about me' and cost £24 and the single eyeshadow is called 'cyprus' and cost £17


The lipgloss is a great nude colour its the colour Kim kardashian is a lover of, its called 'gold digger' and cost £19 

I have been very happy with all my new items of make up and will defiantly be purchasing from Nars again!!!

DIY Studded shorts!!!

This is a step to step guide on how to customise some Levi 501 shorts...
Firstly all you need is your studs (which i brought off ebay, they have many different varieties) and either a pair of scissors or a blunt knife....  


Then you need to decide where you want to put your studs... I put mine either side of the shorts but you can do the pockets or wherever you like really...next you need to push the stud through the denim, this can be tricky cause it thick material.... 


Then the hard part... using either your scissors or knife you need to bend the two prongs flat, be very careful cause they are hard to bend so don't slip and cut yourself thats why it has to be a blunt knife..


make sure all the prongs are as flat as possible else when you wear them they will dig into your skin...


once all the studs are put on,  the inside of the shorts should look like this....


The finished look.... its very very easy to do yourself you just need time because they can take a while to position where you want the studs and the bending them can take time too!!  


Im really happy with how mine turned out i can't wait to do some more!!! I have ordered some different style and colour studs to customise some more of my clothes....will post link below 

My studded combo...




Ok so wanted to share with you my new studded clutch bag I purchased this weekend from London, I have been in search for one for a long time ever since I brought my studded lady peep Christian Louboutin shoes! so when i walked into Zara and saw this wink and me i had to buy it....



This bag couldn't be any more perfect for my shoes, i love it so much!! This shoes and handbag combo with will great with just a little black dress or skinny jeans and loose t-shirt , nothing to much as they talk for them self and really stand out in a crowd...very rock chick!!! 


Its from the new spring/summer 2012 collection which has some other amazing pieces, i was very impressed with the standard this year, stunning fabrics and lush colours!!

The bag cost £59.99 its real leather and very heavy, I'm was really pleased with the price cause the real bag to match my shoes would have set me back at least £450!!!!!!!!!!

Arm Candy....



I'm totally in love with all these amazing bracelets , the more on your arm the better it looks!! You have to be very careful though, because it can look tacky if you pick the wrong items to wear!
The picture above is of my own bracelets, I got these from a shop in Westfields shopping centre! The brand is called butterfly they do some mega pieces.

The cuffs can spice most outfits up and are sold at reasonable prices, £50 each is the going-rate.

There are many different styles you can chose from, rock chic with the studs and spikes, glam girl with the bling and gold diamonds or casual ones which are great for turning a work outfit into an after work drink outfit.

denim shorts.....


Ok peeps sooooo, I'm actually loving all these shorts at the minute!! I just wish the summer would hurry up so i can wear them!!
The looks above are some of my favourite's that i found, I'm loving all the studs, layered jewellery and loose t-shirts it looks very cool!!
I have just purchased some gold and sliver studs from ebay to try and customise some of my own denim shorts,  I have watched a few videos on You Tube on how to customise yourself, it looks very easy so will keep you updated on how it goes!!
