Today was the high-street preview press launch for aw12 this is new looks preview collection. We are seeing alot of studs which we love it really does add to a outfit. Our FAV item is the studded collar and it will be on our autumn winter shopping list.Get buying those trainer wedges as it looks like this style is carrying on through to AW. Also normal wedges are key for this season which will also see you through to autumn winter which is great as they are so much easier to walk in. We have alot of love for this tweed biker jacket it's oh so Chanel with a mixture of rock and roll. Added with a few studs and it would be perfect. H&M coming up soon.....

I recently just purchased my disco leggings from American apprel and I absolutey love them, they are so comfy and can really add to an outfit and they are high waisted to so great to wear with crop tops in the summer or loose shirts. Feathered t-shirts are going to be huge this summer festival season, they were everywhere at Coachella so find those old holiday t-shirts or cut up some tops, it's so easy to do. I was going to make my own. Then I saw this lovely number in Primark.which I was quite suprised! I love Primark for odd finds but I didn't expect to find this, and at £6 such a bargain it almost looks vintage.

With this rubbish British weather the cold has brought out our chapped Dry lips, and now summer is approaching who wants horrible chapped lips, by lightly exfoliating your lips twice a week, or every other day it's up to you but don't exfoliate to much you do not want bright red lips unless it's a beautiful red lipstick. Lip scrubs can be expensive, we have noticed that they sell flavoured ones in LUSH and they cost £6.00, so we decided to make our own it's easy and sooooo cheap I bet you have most of the ingredients in your kitchen so no expense needed and all natural ingredients.
Here's a little tutorial for kissable summer lips
All you need is....
All you need is 4 ingredients: sugar, lemon juice, olive oil and honey
You will need something to put the scrub in, so we went to Primark and bought this travel pack for £1.00 such a bargain.
Put a little bit of honey into a bowl and mix it a little.
Add some olive oil and mix together.
Add double the amount of sugar to your mix, so it's a thick mix.
Add some lemon to the mix, this will give it a yummy taste so good you will want to eat.
Mix it all together into a thick paste.
Once you are done pop it into a little pot and your good to go.
Use this a couple of times a week for kissable lips.

Recently, I have just returned from my trip to India, and was totally inspired by the Asian distinctive designs, from colourful saree’s to beautiful embellished cushions and bed throws, everything was hand-crafted and unique!
Therefore, I have decided to write about the fashion I witnessed and share with you, where you can obtain Asian inspired items on the high-street.
I will also get you prepared for your holiday, by ensuring you have all the glamorous essentials!
One of my favourite markets was the Arpora market, here you could observe and purchase hand-crafted clothes, home furniture and jewellery! It was really spectacular and everything was so cheap!

Prior to the holiday, I was looking everywhere for a pair of Aladdin pants. Last year, it was really accessible to purchase them from most cheap retailers on the high-street, such as New- Look and Primark, but this year I couldn’t find a pair anywhere! Luckily, I was spoilt for choice in India and they came in all sorts of patterns and colours, I definitely think that people should invest in a pair before they set off on their travels!
(Aladdin pants: Goa, around 200 rupee’s (£1.32))
(New Look, £16.99)
During my trip at the spice farm in Goa, I asked one of the Hindu girls who worked there if she could kindly teach me on how to put a Saree, it was definitely a lot more complicated than what I thought! I bought a stunning saree at the Anjuna market, which was coral and gold (that seemed to be the colours which were in!) so I really wanted to learn the correct way of wearing one! I have also given myself the opportunity to wear one, as I am hosting a bollywood theme birthday party!
Also, when I returned I saw that bindi spots were in fashion, freedom jewellery sells them for £5 a pack! I think a lot of the high-street are using the Middle-East as inspiration ...
(company magazine)
I did some excursions while I was out there and some of them included swimming! I thought my white bikini’s would be fine, but I was wrong! I definitely needed something more appropriate while washing an elephant and swimming in a lake, therefore I would advise anyone who may consider adventurous excursions to invest in a swimming costume!
(Ann summers)
When looking in more of the exclusive shops, I saw distinctive rugs and carpets, that had such great detail on, and thought the design and texture could actually be in trend! And then... when I returned I discovered the carpet bag website! One of these is definitely on the list for next pay day!
(carpet bags £50)
That reminds me... make sure if you are going somewhere tropical or exotic make sure you take a backpack, they are definitely handy and cheap enough to buy on the high-street!
Buy the third day of your holidays, when you get that sun-kissed look and your foundation becomes too light, you’re going to need another option! That’s why you need to purchase some BB cream, which is available at most beauty & health stores.It’s very light and just adds a radiant glow to you skin! Maybelline and Garnier offer the BB cream at a reasonable price!
(Maybelline BB cream: around £9.99)
A lot of places in Africa and Asia often have a lot of dusty areas, and flip-flops are the worst type of shoes you could possibly wear, so make sure you invest in a pair of espadrilles or some TomToms!
(google images Primark £4)
Lastly, to make sure your looking glamorous anywhere in the world, I recommend you save your penny’s and buy a pair of Ray-Bans!
(Ray-Bans (Aviator style), ASOS, £120)
Hope this has helped!

Nail colour or art can make an outfit. We have been inspired by the wonderful people at WAH nails, we love how much effort thy put into nail art. If you love nail art take a look at their new how to book. Not everyone can afford to take a trip the nail salon everyday so here's a easy little nail tutorial to get your very own leopard print nails. It will take 10 mins of your time :).
All you need is...
Base coat
Base colour
Nail polish for the dots
Nail art pen
Top coat
Clear up your nails and add a base coat to stop your nails from being stained
Add a base colour we have gone with a pastel lilac colour. Paint all of your nails, leave to dry for 5 minutes and add another coat for a stronger colour.
Choose a darker colour for the leopard spots, it doesn't have to be perfect.
Add 4/5 leopard spots to each nail, and follow this step with every nail. Every nail doesn't have to be the same.
Once you have finished adding the spots let the dry for 5 minutes, now use your nail art pen to draw an outline around the spot, this doesn't have to be perfect. It's really easy to do. Do this around each spot and add tiny spoldges in between the spots.
Once You have finished again let them dry thoroughly before adding a top coat, or they will smudge. Adding a top coat will make it last longer. We would love to see how your nails turn out so send us your pictures.
