Six Month Whirlwind

Wow! Never was the word whirlwind been more relevant. Luckily, despite all this I have been good at keeping on top of Instagram, so when I look back over my snaps, it makes me realise just how much has happened and the neglect of my blog becomes clear...

Firstly, I have missed blogging. I started a new job just over 6 months ago which significantly impacted my time – this sort of explains why I dropped off the edge of the earth! But in truth, it's a job I love in an amazing design agency and I can't imagine doing anything else. So it's time to *attempt* to make these two lives collide... I'M BACK – lets hope for some kind of beautiful explosion!

In the mean time, I thought I'd leave you with a visual summary of my time away. California and Nevada, to the countryside, Leeds and London... Beauty, hair and fashion to drinking, feasting and gigging...

Please enjoy my whirlwind!

NYE Nails: Dip It!

New Years Eve festivities are calling and it's your last chance to whip out the sparkly polishes for another year! So this is the look I'm rocking this year. I've seen it all over the place lately, including on the new Nails Inc adverts where it looks ah-mazing! So naturally I've been desperate to try it and here we go! 

Nail of the Day

It's all too easy to get sucked in to deep burgundies and wine colours on the nails when the cool chill hits, but I like to change it up from time to time without losing the festiveness!

Reaching for Red

Well it's that time of year again and it seems that no matter what the A/W trends, red is a classic ‘never fails’ go-to for most ladies in the deeper and darker seasons. One thing that never loses its style for me, is red nails. However, as a pale-skinned blonde, I really struggle to find reds that suit me (in fact I only dare do it on the nails!) and as well as that, when it comes to red I’m just plain fussy.

In the past I’ve avoided red polishes as I’ve found them far to bright and orangey when outside, almost cheap looking, even if a lovely colour in indoor light. In order to get the right colour outside, I’ve found myself reaching for deep berries and burgundies which (though I love them to bits!) lets face it – just aren’t that iconic red. But recently, I discovered the first red which I would actually describe as perfect!
