Nails Inc. x Fabulous

16th June 2011


This weekend Fabulous magazine are cheering up our nails for Summer by giving away an exclusive duo of Nails Inc. polishes worth £22!

Created especially for Fabulous, the shades – called Atomic and OMP! (that’s Oh My Pink!) – are sure to be this season’s hottest shades!

Starting this weekend there will be three tokens to cut out and collect, which you can then redeem in participating Tesco stores from the 3rd July. There will also be an amazing discount on Nails Inc. manicures; half price at £14 at participating Nails Inc. salons!

Fabulous were super generous and sent me a preview of the polishes, so as soon as I become less lazy I’ll post what the colours actually look like on. This one not to be missed; they are GORGEOUS!

I remember when I first saw this dress in New Look, back near the start of the year. I knew that at some point in my life I’d end up owning it, but balked at the £30 price tag (because I am cheap!)
Last week, when out with Becca, I saw it in the sale for £15. Fate? I had to buy it.

The shoes were kindly sent to me by Yull

They are a prototype of the Primrose shoe, the front of which has now changed. I am the only person to own this original style, and I couldn’t be happier!

I have a morning off today, much needed! Holiday season has well and truly started and work is MAD.
I have holiday envy, I need to get my arse in to gear and book some time off and take myself somewhere hot and sunny!

It’s True

15th June 2011

I’m a Princess. My t-shirt says so!

As soon as I saw this t-shirt on the Zara front page I knew it had to be mine. It took about two weeks to come on to the website as available and then I couldn’t bring myself to pay postage, despite the tee itself only being £10.
Knowing we were going shopping on Sunday, I decided to take my chance and hope they had it in the Bristol store.

They did. And the rest is history.

I also bought a gorgeous floral dress that SO wasn’t on my purchase list, but couldn’t be left behind!

I also wanted to show off my new hat storage.
Not that we’ve really had the weather for hats, but I used to be a boy scout (yes, really) so I’m always prepared!

UNIQLO SOCIAL MEDIA COMMUNITY UNIQLOOKS LAUNCHES ITS SUMMER STYLE COMPETITION, TO BE JUDGED BY NICOLA FORMICHETTI, FAMED LADY GAGA STYLIST.

UNIQLO today announce the launch of its summer style competition on UNIQLOOKS,
a new fashion community on Facebook, where UNIQLO fans throughout the world
can share their own unique, individual looks. UNIQLO fans are invited to upload their favorite summer UNIQLO looks to
UNIQLOOKS. The page has proven extremely popular since its February
launch with 6 million visitors. Among all the looks submitted to the contest, the top 20 looks will be nominated based on the number of Facebook “Like” ratings received from people around the world. Three grand-prize-winning looks will be selected by UNIQLO and acclaimed stylist Nicola Formichetti. These three winning entries will be featured on UNIQLOOKS as suggested looks for this summer!

Participating is easy, simply upload a photo of yourself to the UNIQLOOKS page between now and July 18.
The top 20 looks will be announced on July 19, then the three grand-prize-winning looks on August 1.
The three prize winning looks will each receive a pair of tickets for a three-night, four-day trip to visit the UNIQLO flagship city of their choice; New York, London, Paris, Shanghai or Tokyo. The remaining 17 will be awarded UNIQLO summer wear worth £35.

And there we have it, another fabulous opportunity from another favourite shop of mine! I’m a bit addicted to the UT collection of t-shirts, owning a Cath Kidston one, a bunny print one…and so very nearly a Barbie one!

Good Luck
