Without a Pair of

I don't own  pair of trousers! Not a joke and no, I dont walk around in just tops and no bottoms. But I am trouserless. Have been for quite few years. Last pair of trousers I owned were black high waisted and tapered. But I always felt that they didn't flatter me, however much I loved them. Since then I have lost all interest in buying trousers because I felt they just didn't suit me. But I lost weight, and think I'd feel more confident in them again now.  In the last few weeks my eyes have been widely open to the large range of really nice trousers in the shops recently and I am ready to go and try on many pairs. My Secont point is I dont have much print in my life and I thought now would be an excellent time to change that.

So to mark this (fairly large, for me at least) occassion I decided to create an "edit" of sorts (well Zara and Topshop) of the pairs of trousers that in the next week I shall be hunting down and sliding my legs into.


First up: TOPSHOP (obviously)

 

Zara

I shall be wearing these with clashing prints or simple neutral tones. This Spring/ Summer is a perfect time to try something new, and prints and trousers/ printed trousers are the way I am choosing to go.

So go on try something completely un-you this spring. The sun is out. Enjoy.

When in doubt, make your own

A very good friend of mine went to various trimmings shops recently and picked up lots of different bits and pieces. Then she very kindly made me a (albeit odd) pair of earrings.

Pink pop

I have come to the conclusion that I am in desperate need of a new shade of lipstick for Spring/Summer. For a while at least, the red seems a little too harsh. So you can imagine my delight when I arrive on the MAC website to see this:

Yes, thats Nicki Minaj. And YES, that is Ricky Martin. Why on earth he was chosen to have a lip balm made for MAC I'll never know. But I thought it was only a matter of time before Miss Minaj got a chance to have a lippie made after her.

Whatever the reason, the shade of pink is perfect. Bright, fresh, summery and with highlight a tan in the best possible way. However, once on the MAC website, I am never one to escape so easily. It pulls me in like a black hole. I created a wish list and it has been discovered that I would happily spend over £200 on my perfect wish list to fill up my make up bag (need a bigger one, theres no room!!) to satisfy my needs.

Enjoy the sunshine!!

Oooh it's a FESTIVAL

I woke up this morning from a fairly disturbing dream where I was leaving for a festival to realise that me an my friend had no money, no food, no idea what clothes we had packed because our mums packed them for us (why in the hell!!??), was seriously running late for our train, no alcohol and ciggarettes, no wellies, AND NO TENT!!!! So not surprisingly I have my festival going bug back and it's time to search for a new tent. Instead however I find myself looking for the things that make the weeked go slightly mad. I am talking about brightly coloured fethers (I had so many tied in my hair last year), false eyelashes, and most imporantly and ANIMAL HOOD!!! I discovered MERRIMAKING at last years Secret Garden Party and created a sizeable list of animals that I wanted to wear on my head. Leopard, Tiger (even thought i bought a tiger one for a friends birthday present and then immediately borrowed for my own head), snow fox, red panda, giraffe, monkey, a deer (with antlers and all) and a Parrot.

You can't really tell what it looks like, it's a dark photo with an instagram effect on it. But go and have a look at last years photos.

Now, I'm off to actually look for a tent, that dream scared the crap out me!!!

Have fun!

Mono & Me

I am sure by now some of you have heard of Mono & Me. If you haven't, then why not? They are a spanish jewellery brand based in Barcelona and they make the most wonderful bracelets in wide ranges of colours. These are the little trinklet type that usually have a tiny cross, pom poms or, my personal favourite, little skulls. And the prices are amazing as well. Be warned you could get carried away!!

Collect them all? Don't mind if I do. It's just too hard to pick just the one or two!! These are deffinitely right near the top of my wish list.
