Lets spend a day at Coachella together!
Hello all,
One day, i WILL spend a weekend relaxing in Indio California, i will enjoy soaking up the sun, and i will have the buzz from the music playing. I will go on the huge ferris wheel, and i will pile up all the energy of the whole Coachella event.
If you were to ask me, what festival i would like to attend, i literally cant think of any, other then Coachella. Glastonbury doesn't do it for me like it does for some, i just want to go to the desert festival in the USA.
When you think Coachella, apart from the stunning views of the place, and the amazing artists who perform there, you think of the FASHION (At least i do.) One of my favourites to keep an eye out for is Vanessa Hudgens, as her Coachella outfits ALWAYS inspire me.
When you think Coachella fashion, think, flower headbands, think fringes and tassel's, think sunglasses and accessories. Lots of rings, necklaces, bracelets (All layered of course), think big hats and boots, think shorts and crop tops or bralets, think feathers and laid back. All in all, Coachella fashion has lots of different pieces that make an outfit truly unique and makes it stand out. I love the whole Boho Look and feel of the whole event.
With all that said, i thought i'd show you two quick outfits that i may rock up to coachella in.. if i was lucky enough to be there.

I cant think of a good title, so lets go with "RED"
Hello all,
How pretty and amazing is the weather in the UK being right now? I mean, seriously.. we have had 2-3 glorious days of sunshine, and it just makes me more excited for summer to hurry up and arrive!
I went to meet some of my lovely ladies for a spot of lunch the other day, which also turned into us playing Mario Cart on the Wii by the end of the night, by the way..Women are super duper competitive, if you didn't know! :)
I LOVED my outfit and so thought i would share with you guys what i wore..

An Outfit of the day ft some Flares
As its now officially Spring, and this means its one step closer to my favourite season, i thought i would do a little outfit of the day.
On Saturday whilst trying to pick out my outfit for the day i came across some flare trousers i had long since forgotten i even owned them. I was thrilled to have found them buried way to the back of all my clothes, i bought them a little over a year ago, and to be honest they don't get as much wear as they should. They were also a steal at about £5 from the Forever 21 sale that was happening at the time!!
My jumper is a white woolly one from Primark, although i bought in Portugal about a month ago, and all the Primarks I've gone into over here in the UK don't seem to stock the same one! I absolutely love this jumper, its the perfect light weight piece you need for the Spring weather we have been having!
The hat is from Forever 21 too, and the second i saw it i fell in love, its not a floppy hat as such its more a wide rimmed Fedora. I love to wear this when the sun is shining but there isn't the hotness of the summer just yet!
My boots are a new pair of favourites and i bought them while i was on my week holiday to Portugal, with these trousers i feel like you need a good pair of heels, flats just wont have the same effort, so these were just the obvious option for me.
Finally i have my trusty black leather jacket, that i tend not to leave the house without and also my long shoulder slouch bag which again is a firm favourite of mine, as the bag itself isn't too big for everything to get lost in but its not too small that you don't have space for all your bits. This bag was a gift from my auntie in the summer, and i am yet to put it down! :)
So there you have my little outfit, i really liked it, and felt so comfortable through out the day, so i was so super glad i found those hidden gems of flare trousers, or i would not have been inspired for this outfit!
Do you guys like flares? or own any pairs? (ha, yes, i just rhymed that, and noticed it and then spoke of it!)
Hope your all having a lovely weekend!

The Oscars 2014 - A round up
Hey guys,
I haven't posted in little over a month, i know, i know.. bad blogger! Truth is, i felt like i was in a little rut, like i didn't have anything to post, well, nothing worthy anyway.. (do you guys ever get like that!?)
I am however feeling a little more motivated after watching The Oscars last night, nothing like a few fancy gowns to get a girl back into the swing of blogging right?!
I actually enjoy doing the annual Oscar post and i seem to get a lot of good feedback from it, so here's hoping you guys like this years too. If you want to read last years you can by clicking HERE!
Onto this years..
The Oscars for me are about 4 things, Who wore what? Who won what? Who said what? and What were the highlights? This year didn't fail to impress. As soon as we heard Ellen DeGeneres was presenting, i can safely say we all cheered. She did it 7 years ago and did such a fantastic job, that why not have her back for another slot. She has to be one of the best presenters, and all round entertainers, she is hilarious and beautiful and she always shows great courage with everything in her life. So when we heard it was her presenting, you knew you were going to get off to a good start.
Onto the winners, I'm not going to lie and say i wasn't rooting for Leonard DiCaprio (like the majority of the world), because of course i was rooting for him, i wanted him to win, SCREW IT, He should have won.. he should already have one for Pete's sake, but i strongly believe his time WILL come around. I was however, rooting for 12 years a slave and for Lupita Nyong'o and her role in that film too.. so was chuffed when she won. I was also happy The Great Gatsby won for best costume, as the whole look and feel of that film was spot on, and finally i could not be any more happier for Jared Leto winning an Oscar, as i feel the role he took on was an intense one and i was so proud for him.
The speeches that impressed me were Lupita's and Jared's, i love what they spoke about and how they put what they wanted to say into words. :) The highlights, that i suggest everyone go and google or look for were, Jennifer Lawrence falling over on the red carpet, (does that chick ever stay up?!) Ellen ordering pizza and then making everyone cough up money for the pizza into Pharrell's massive hat (yerp, the hat made an appearance again), Pharrell dancing with some stars to his hit song "Happy", Benedict Cumberbatch photo bombing U2 (one of the best photo bombs ever), the opening sequence and finally the most famous selfie to ever grace the net.
After you are done having a look through for all of that, time to go and check out what the celebs wore on the red carpet.
These were all of my favourite gowns, and I'm going to be honest i was expecting more from Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lawrence, Jennifer Garner and Anne Hathaway, but none the less, all these ladies looked beautiful. Can i also point out that some of these photos do NOT do the dresses enough justice, Jada's dress was a beautiful tone that does not get picked up enough here, neither does Sandra's or Jenna's. Also, some of the dresses from the after party made it on to this list and were just as gorgeous as the Red Carpet ones.
To the beautiful Kate Hudson, whose dress was beautiful, and stunning and basically i drooled when she arrived! :) She also had a beautiful gown that she wore to the after party.. basically Kate did no wrong in my eyes at the Oscars.
Did you watch the Oscars? Is it something you take to every year? Who was your best dressed? and did the right people win for you?
Leave me your comments below, i always reply back :)

The Primetime Emmy Award Ceremony
Hello my twiddle pips,
Yesterday was the annual Emmy awards, and as some of you might know, doing award show posts on the beautiful gowns that make an appearance on the red carpet is a firm favourite off mine, and also one that draws a lot of viewers in.
So i stayed up late, (as i live in the UK) and the show was in America at a normal hour for them, and a not so normal one for us. I did miss the actual show, (although, i now know who the winners were). I did however, watch and drool over the red carpet and the celebrities arriving.
These award shows have a way of making me excited, they make me want to buy dresses and get all dressed and dolled up, however in some past award shows i have been left feeling slightly MEH by the whole thing.. none of the dresses spoke out to me, none of them caught my eye in that magical way and none impressed me enough to say "I waaanntt that dress.." This year however, at the Emmys, i was pleasantly surprised, yes, there was still the odd frock horror that i literally wept at and thought "Why would you wear that, its not a fashion statement, its just wrong" but there was also some lovely, gorgeous stunning dresses worn by some very beautiful and glowing females.
Should we get to it..
Anyone fancy buying me it?!
Who was your favourite outfit of the night? have you done a similar post? link it below so i can have a read through..
Until next time.

In my eyes, all of these women got it right, i also loved Kelly Osbourne's dress and thought she looked elegant and amazing. Can we take a minute to admire the colour on Giuliana Rancic's dress, how gorgeous is that blue, it literally just makes you stop. Can we also take a minute to just have a round of applause for Sofia Vergara's boobs, like seriously. Anyone who thinks Kim Kardashian has an amazing body, you're clearly NOT looking in Miss Vergara's direction.
I cant even begin to tell you how much i fell in love with some of these dresses, like literally, i was so excited at seeing all the different bright colours and the different shades of red, i mean, even Velvet made it into my top list. These ladies looked beautiful.
There was of course the horrors, I'm not too sure what Lena Dunham was wearing? It was not right for her figure and she almost looked like she was carrying a tent? She is so pretty so I'm not sure why she thought that was a good choice in a gown. Julianne Hough was wearing a beautiful gown, but then i could see the bottom was all see through and suddenly i didn't like it as much. Lastly Zosia Mamet, i didn't like your dress either. Sorry. Not sorry.
My favourite of the night though, goes to a beautiful dress, the colour, the shape, the cut.. all of it screamed perfect to me!
My favourite of the night was Sarah Hyland wearing a CH Carolina Herrera Gown.
How utterly gorgeous does she look? i mean seriously? she has the Autumn make up trend on point, her hair sleeked back is perfect, and this dress is just amazing. The emerald colour and the touch of lace. This dress made me want it.. no, actually, i don't just want it, i KINDA NEED it.
Anyone fancy buying me it?!

Outfit of the day - A little Pocahontas
Hello all,
I hope you have been enjoying the weekend so far. Here in London we have had bouts of sunny weather mixed in with some topical storm weather, a few lightening bolts and some thunder and rain, oh yeah we love London weather -__-
Either way, on Friday i woke up and felt like it was a dress day, so i put on my favourite day dress and jazzed it up a little by wearing some of my boots instead of my normal sandals, and i was good to go, but the thing is, i got quite a few compliments through the day to say they liked it paired together or that i looked like Pocahontas, (which is one of my favourite Disney Princesses, just in case you were unaware). So with all the lovely compliments i got, i thought the outfit was worthy of an OOTD post! So here we are.
My dress is one of my favourites that i bought to rock between the months of Spring and Summer but due to the bad weather London had, it didn't see much sunlight, and my boots were something i was EXTREMELY happy to purchase, and i almost wish i had bought a few more in case these get ruined! They even have eagle wings on the back so it reminds me even more of Pocahontas! :)
My whole outfit was so basic and simple, all very neutral colours and yet it drew alot of peoples attention, so i thought why not post about it. Even my make up was very minimal, as i was only going food shopping but to be fair, it was one of my favourite outfits that i have worn during this Summer month so far!
What do you think of my outfit?
What have you been wearing lately!?

The London Bloggers Party
Hello my lovelies,
On Saturday, i met up with the beautiful Anna from Anna Rozanska. Together we were off to The London Bloggers Party. After a little confusion with where the actual event was taking place and trying our best to avoid the rustle and bustle of PRIDE, we made our way to Hanover Square to Dirty Martini. Me and Anna were eager to go in, but not before filling our tummies, as i hadn't even had breakfast that morning, we quickly found a MacDonald's and then went to Hanover Square park and ate in there. It was so nice to finally catch up with Anna, I've known her for years but we don't see each other often, as i live in London and she is based in Sheffield, so it was lovely to spend a bright sunny Saturday Afternoon with her (Even if her feet were killing her because she decided to be all glamorous and wear heels the entire day) :P
After our brief lunch we made our way to Dirty Martini, and were checked off the guest list and then made our way down to a basement type room, it was a long and spacious place and there was an open bar plus lots of seating areas. We were welcomed instantly by Scarlett who told us to try the new "Scarlett London Martini" that they were kind enough to make for us bloggers. We took our seats and i got a chance to catch up with Rachel, who i had previously met at the Bloggers Lunch which was also organised by Scarlett, you can read about that post here.
As quickly as the room was empty with only the early bird bloggers, it got extremely full quite too. Suddenly the room became quite warm and loud and everything became a bit of a bustle to move about in. Mostly because us girls all decided to stay in one section of the area, and no one really wanted to venture out from that space, we didn't want to seem like the unsocial one! Haha, i got to meet so many youtubers, and bloggers that i have watched, listened to, read, and just generally loved and i was so excited to be able to collect new business cards (as well as finally give mine out) of bloggers i had never seen or met before. It was also lovely to finally put faces to names etc. Although i will be honest, there was so many that i was like, "i recognise her, but I'm not sure on her URL or her twitter name! :| Ops."
These were the only shots i managed to capture, as the whole event took its toll on me and all i wanted to do was mingle with everyone else and make new friends.
Now time for some photos, from Scarlett London's blog, and all thanks to her boyfriend Max who can be seen in the photo above.
Overall, it was a lovely event, even if it seemed a little hectic at times, and a little crowded it was lovely to see so many new faces and catch up with some old ones! :)
It was lovely to finally meet Islaay (I-LA), Fenetta & Tanya as i have been speaking to them for a while now. It was also lovely to see so many other bloggers and i only wish i had more time to chat to each and every one of them.. Ashleigh, Joelle, Ellie, Ellie, Jess, Sophia, Lucia, Shay, Georgina, Kimberley, Becky, Lorna, & Christina. Until next time girls, i hope we get a chance to chat some more.. :) aaannnddd, Ashleigh, me and you need to meet up more often, you are just too funny!! :) haha
I want to say a massive thank you to Scarlett, for organising this opportunity for us to get to know each other a little bit better, i cant imagine how much hard work goes into doing something like this, i always look at the scale of these things and think WOW! So thank you so much for taking the time to organise it, you rocked it and did an amazing job! :) Also thank you so much for organising a little goodie bag for all of us to leave with, it has some amazing things in (but I'm saving the goodie bag for another post) I'm super excited to try the hair oil among other things!
Also present at the event was..
Search Laboratory, who gave us goodies bag which included a book full of SEO tips. After talking to the girls about it a little, i was really intrigued and excited to get stuck in to reading the book.
Quiz Clothing, which also provided us with a goodie bag, with an amazing voucher for 70% off clothes, have you seen some of Quiz's clothes?, I'm super excited to spend this.
Cloud Nine Hair, which i didn't actually get a chance to get round too, this saddened me, as i am always desperately on the look out for new hair care products that can tame my messy hair!
and finally,
Oriflame, which is a make up brand trying to break the UK market. We got to chat to the girls for a little about the brand, we got to sample some of the goodies and then we were allowed to jot down which products we would love to test and try out, i HAD to put my name down for the eyebrow kits, as it just looked amazing! I'm super excited for those products to arrive too!
So all in all, The London Bloggers Party was way too much fun, if i missed your name out I'm super sorry, there was so many of you lovelies to get through, but if we did chat drop me a little comment below. It was lovely to meet everyone and I'm super excited to make my way through all those business cards i got, plus to start using and testing some of the goodies i got in my goodie bags!

What i would wear at Coachella
Hello my little gems,
I was randomly flicking through my twitter dashboard the other week when i noticed that the lovely Joelle had done a post on Coachella Fashion. She had written up a wish list based on the clothes she would choose to wear to day one of Coachella, but her theme was that all her pieces were from River Island.
I loved the idea of this post and thought about doing one myself, but mine is slightly different, as I'm not just basing it on one shop. My outfits were made on Polyvore and are from all different shops, some pieces i could afford if i wanted to, some would be a treat and others, well, i wouldn't even go there as I'm broke and cant afford them, not even the material used to make them!
You can read Joelle's post here, and you can have a little look at what choices of clothes i would wear below.
Okay, okay..I'm not even going to lie.. Festivals don't appeal to me too much, but ever since i first heard about Coachella, i was drawn into it, and i have loved it since.
Its just another reason to want to go to California so badly.
These are just a few examples of what i would wear if i was strutting around in the Coachella dessert listening to some music.
I would love to see what everyone else might wear if they were to go, or even, if you did go, i would love to see a little post on what you wore while there.
Unfortunately all the outfits were made through Polyvore and i don't have the direct link to where all the key pieces are from. (Sorry, bad blogger).
Which is your favourite look?

Unfortunately all the outfits were made through Polyvore and i don't have the direct link to where all the key pieces are from. (Sorry, bad blogger).
Which is your favourite look?

Summer Wedding Outfit Dilemma
Hello all,
Summer is fast approaching, and for a lot of us that means, summer holidays abroad, going to stay with family in different parts of the world, hoping to enjoy some long awaited sunshine, and for some very special people its when they finally tie the knot and get married. Much like one of my childhood best friends, Nicola, (tis true, that as we grew up we also lost more and more contact), but as kiddies we were inseparable, me, my sisters, her and her little sister, we were all one big family, with our parents being close and us always bring around each others houses. Nicola met Raymond when they were teenagers and they got together soon after meeting, i cant even begin to tell you how many years they have been together now, but 3 kids later and they are finally ready to settle down and get that certificate, and i have been invited to their summer wedding. Which as much as it means, celebrating their love for one another, and attending a big party, it also means, i need to find the perfect summer wedding outfit! :)
Hence, this little post..i have a ton of dresses, and i have tried on many, and battled it down to these 2, I'm pretty sure, i will see something in the shops before the big day and still want to change my mind and wear that, but for now, i have 2 dresses and i need opinions on which one to wear.
I uploaded both of these photos on to instagram, and my private facebook and both have had an amazing reception, but more people say "go with the colourful dress, as its a summer wedding and it would look amazing" and one even used the word tropical? (The wedding however, is in LONDON).
I would still love more opinions, i have heard all the cliche's of, "you shouldn't wear white at a wedding, only the bride", and i agree, (The second dress is however cream, but that's beside the point).
The second dress, is very boho chick, hippie and relaxed (Which is totally my style) but the first, is more of a bold statement piece.
Either way, which dress do you think i should go for? and which shoes should i wear, the black shoes with the "Tropical" dress or should i try the white shoes with it?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Outfit of the day 14.04.13
(sorry if the photos lack focus. i hate photos with no focus, but alas, what can i do.. its all i got.)
Hello all,
The sun has decided to finally show its face, and that means two things, one..Lighter clothes can be worn (which by the way i have totally forgotten how to dress for sunshine weather) and two..Great lighting for photos which means, Outfits of the day can be done!So Sunday, it was gorgeous weather here in the capital London, i wouldn't say scorching hot as maybe the Mediterranean but it was better then what England has seen in the last few months. So i plucked out my old maxi skirt, and since this whole monochrome trend is about, i found my simple stripy t-shirt and wore that tucked in, then to make the outfit have a little more edge i threw on my denim waistcoat shirt, added my cute pink bow to my head and finished off with some black ballet pumps. Not to forget one of my favourite pieces of jewellery at the moment, my dream catcher feather earrings, totally in love. It was such a simple outfit but i felt like it was perfect for the weather we were receiving and it was so comfortable to be in as well.
Pink Head Bow - Matalan £3
Denim Waistcoat Shirt - HnM £12 (old)
Black and White Stripy T-shirt - Primark £3/4
Black Maxi Skirt - Market stall £10
Black Ballet Pumps - Primark £4/5 (old)
Dream Catcher Feather Earrings - Primark £3/4

Tag your it..
Hello Lovelies,
Back in January i was tagged by the gorgeous Helen over at *Beautifully Superfluous*, and her tag consisted of me answering the 11 questions that Helen has set for me, then me coming up with 11 questions of my own to ask the people i choose to tag and to also mention the blogger that tagged me, which in case you missed it, it was the lovely Helen!! :)
So lets get to it! :D
Picture Source.. Helen's Blog!
THE RULES:
1. Answer the 11 Questions set for you.
2. Make up 11 Questions for the 11 people you tag.
3. Mention the blogger that tagged you.
THE QUESTIONS HELEN SET FOR ME TO ANSWER:
1. What is your main blogging goal?
My main blogging goal is, to just enjoy it. Literally enjoy blogging and not take it too seriously, as i don't ever see myself as one of those girls that will make money from her blog, (not that i see anything wrong with that, but for me..its a choice thing, where i want to keep my blog, my hobby). If I'm not passionate about something, don't blog about it, don't post about..just don't blog, sometimes there is nothing to blog about, nothing to say, that's fine, don't force it, and finally, always stay true to your blog. Exactly the way i started is the way i want to continue, i am so thankful for each and every follower i have and if you follow me on twitter, i try and interact with as many of my followers and as many bloggers as i can, that's just me, i will always answer you back if you leave a comment and i will always engage in conversations with you.
2. Do you have any pets and what are they called?
I have a 2 year old Golden Labrador named Bella Luna, She is my little baby, i love her to pieces.
3. Whats your favourite sweet thing to eat?
Urm do actual sweets count? i LOVE Haribo.. the sour ones are my favourites, and i also love them flying saucer things. Does anyone remember them? little saucers with sour stuff inside for you to eat! I think i prefer sour to sweet!? :/ Oh dear.
4. Whats your favourite book called?!
When i first read this question, i cursed out loud at Helen, for coming up with such a brilliant question that would leave me stumped. Reading books is by far one of my favourite things to do, i literally love it, and can sit anywhere and read a book. Yes, I'm the person on the London underground, where even though the subway is fully packed and we are all squished in there like sardines, i will get my book out and continue reading if the story is amazing. I love Harlan Coben books at the moment, but this will change.. My favourite book so far to date is probably "The Help" which i did a little blog post on here.
5. If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be?
Urm Portugal, visiting my familia which i haven't seen since 2006 and i miss them all so much, each passing year gets harder and harder to be away from them so much, but due to some personal family reasons it has not been easy to go there and visit them all.
6. What is your favourite beauty product and why?
Beauty product in general might have to be Mascara!? I am forever buying mascaras even with tons of them at home already, i just buy more to add to the collection. My favourite so far in number 17 Wild curls. It does just want i want it to do, gives me length and volume and leaves my lashes looking amazing!
7. If you could only wear eye makeup or lip products for the rest of your life which one would you choose?
Ohh, eyes i think.. as this would deffo include mascara, and without my mascara i feel naked and feel that i look so rubbish!! argh :( goodbye lipsticks!
8. Whats your favourite piece of clothing and why?
I'm such a simple kinda girl, I'm literally jeans and t-shirt (just call me the American Dream) LOL. I love my jeans, i literally think they are the greatest invention ever, Okay, Okay..i do love my iphone so maybe they're not the best invention..but they are defiantly one of the best! :P
9. What's your favourite accessory and why?
I used to go nowhere without my earrings, but now i think it may be bracelets, especially through out the summer months, bracelets are needed, Friendship bracelets and string ones! :)
10. Which do you prefer - McDonald's or KFC?
MacDonald's all the way, the only thing i like in KFC is the Popcorn Chicken! :) Maccy girl through and through.
11. What is the one TV programme you just have to watch when it's on?
Back in January i was tagged by the gorgeous Helen over at *Beautifully Superfluous*, and her tag consisted of me answering the 11 questions that Helen has set for me, then me coming up with 11 questions of my own to ask the people i choose to tag and to also mention the blogger that tagged me, which in case you missed it, it was the lovely Helen!! :)
