Organisation

 
I'm a big fan of The Beauty Department website; it's a great source for skincare, makeup, hair and nail ideas and tips. 

When I saw this post last week I wanted to go home and have a go myself right away!

I currently keep my nail polishes in boxes in a drawer under our bed.  They are neatly organised in old Glossy Box boxes (their boxes are brilliant for makeup storage, and very pretty).  However, I can't see the colours without pulling out the bottles one by one...and when you have as many shades as I do, this can be rather time consuming!

 

So off I set this weekend armed with white sticky labels and my heart hole punch, painting and punching til every bottle had it's own label topper.

 

ta-da here is the end result!

 

 

 

 

 



 

Excess is Success

October 4th has finally arrived, I feel as though I have been waiting for this day to arrive for months!

The fabulous Anna dello Russo's accessory line for H&M dropped at 9am this morning.  And I managed to get my mits on five pieces online.

Anna is a true fashion force; never afraid to pile on the jewellery, shorten the hemline and don a giant head piece and do it all with class and subtly...something easier said than done.

I cannot wait for the postman to deliver them next week...I will be sure to show you all how I will be rocking these pieces very soon. 

Here's a glimpse at the pieces I purchased:

Snake Bracelet

Dog clutch bag

Silver and emerald necklace

Turquoise cuff

Pearl statement necklace

 

“I am excited by this collaboration: this is the first time H&M involves a Fashion Director in a special project. This is the sign of an important evolution in fashion, and I am both thrilled and humbled to be the one chosen to lead it. I wanted to create precious accessories that are impossible to find. As a stylist I know accessorization is essential: it is the personal touch to any outfit. With these pieces everybody can have fun, turning an ordinary day into a fantastic fashion day"

 

Here is a small selection of some of my favourite AdR ensembles

 

 

Taut

Yesterday saw the opening night of Cheryl's (nee Cole) solo UK tour.  And she looked to be on fine form (all that training with Tracey Anderson has most definitely paid dividends).

 

That stomach and those abs are lust worthy.  And if she looks like this on the first night, imagine what she'll look like by the final show....2 hours of non stop dancing and jumping around the stage night after night....that tum is only going to get tauter. 

 

Good work Chezza xo

 

Don't look at these pics and feel jealous or disheartened as you compare it with your soft tum.  Instead use these images as inspiration and motivation for you to get your own taut tum ... anything is possible if you put your mind to it (and step away, far away from the biscuit tin)

Happy Hump Day

Hello my lovely Madeon's - hope you are all having a good week so far.  I thought I would share a few images with you that might brighten up your day / inspire you / make you giggle.

I could so dive into this bed and snuggle right not.  Love the light, airy, shabby chic feel of this bedroom

 

I can't get enough of my daily cocounut water fix - I wish however that I was sipping mine in a bikini on the beach rather than at my desk in a cardigan!
