Last night I attempted the Topshop inspired nails that I recently saw on The Fish Tank. They are inspired by the nice 'doodle' packaging that Topshop uses on their makeup range. 

To do this I used Essie's 'Sand Tropez', the Models Own art pen and Topshop's Matte top coat. It was very fiddly, but I really like it! It's something a bit different without being too in your face. 

We went for a stroll around Portobello market last week and as we were browsing the pretty market stalls it (of course) started to rain like crazy! So my boyfriend and I (he is going to kill me for putting a photo up) ran into the first cafe we saw. It turned out to be an amazing little cafe run by a Thai lady. It was beautifully colourful and lively and they served the most delicious drinks. I had a carrot and apple juice and he had some kind of beetroot concoction. Both were yummy and we were so happy just to chill in there until the rain stopped... 

It started in a rush, topping up makeup and taming hair... and ended with a pizza and a gorgeous gift. 

I was invited along to the launch of Molton Brown's first fine fragrances and I jumped at the chance. It's a brand I know well, but have always thought more of as a 'mum' brand and not something I'd buy for myself. When I think of Molton Brown I think specifically of hand wash and body lotion. 

I have had a pair of leggings from H&M for about a year now, which have a leather patch over the knees. I absolutely love them and think that they instantly make an outfit so much more interesting. When I saw these leggings with a leather strip all the way down the sides, I knew I had to have them. They are (of course) from Topshop and were (of course) overpriced. What I like about them is that they are really long and they are quite thick, so they will last me through the A/W. 

I found out today that I have been shortlisted for the Look competition along with 19 other bloggers. Thank you so much to everyone who read my entry and wished me good luck. I am very very happy and hope I get through to the final 5 next Tuesday! There was a massive hype around this and the suspense today was insane. Now another week of waiting, but I am so happy just to be shortlisted! I am really glad you all liked my post - it was really fun to make. 

Loving this little blue dress I bought before holiday. It is really sheer and so I have to wear something underneath, but I love the colour and the way it is cut. It is longer at the back, which is something I always like! 

The Forever 21 store on Bond Street opened whilst I was away in Israel and so the first thing I wanted to do when I came back was to visit the new store! I've been to Forever 21 loads in the States and have also been to the one in Birmingham. I've always loved the layout of the store... really bright and spacious! It feels very American, which I love. The only problem is, I think they should be called Forever 15. The clothes are very young! It is great value as the prices are as low as H&M and New Look, but the quality of the clothing is as good as Topshop and some of the higher end high street stores. I looked around the whole store, all three floors and left with some pyjama shorts and a striped tee (because I really needed another one to add to my obscene collection).

So this is my Look magazine 'bloggers competition' entry. I would love the chance to sit front row at the A/W Look Show and blog about the fabulous clothes on show.
