Hello Darlings,

With summer just around the corner and an impending trip to Vegas, I'm in the mood for bright colours,  whites, and gold jewellery to offset your tan.

These are the things that I'm currently lusting after!

White Jeans, H&M, £9.99 - here

White Camisole, H&M, £12.99 - here

Black Camisole, H&M, £12.99 - here

Nailvarnish, Mavala, Jaipur, Beauty Bay, £4.00 - here

Rings, H&M, £2.99 - here

Clutch, Zara, £39.99 - here

Shoes, New Look, £59.99 - here

Lipstick, Mac, Morange, £14.00 - here

Necklace, Topshop, £25.00 - here

I am completely in love with the two camisoles, I think they'd look great with some denim shorts and a tan! Definitely time for some online shopping!

Let me know if you have a current wish-list?

And I'm wishing like crazy...

Hi Darlings, 

I haven't done a wish list in so long, and now that spring is finally on the horizon I'm suddenly craving so many beauty bits and pieces. I thought I'd share some of them with you today <3

Hippolyta perfume from Sweet Anthem. I cannot tell you how much I want this perfume. With notes of lemon leaf, lotus, opium, osmanthus, tobacco, vanilla, it couldn't be more perfect. I fall for any perfume with opium, vanilla and tobacco notes in it, and I think that the lemon would be a lovely touch for spring. This is a seasonal perfume, and can be found here from $8.50 for a solid perfume twist, so hurry on up if you fancy it. 

Pink Grapefruit Body Butter from The Body Shop. I was at a friends' flat last night and used some of her lotion version of the pink grapefruit scent on my hands. I completely and utterly fell in love with it. It's sweet but sharp, and absolutely gorgeous for spring and summer. Get it here from £5 for the small size and £13 for the large. 

Mavala Vanilla and Arosa nail varnishes. I love how clean and fresh these polishes are, they're such a change from the dark colours or statement nails that I've been choosing over the colder months. Find them here for £3.50 each with free delivery. 

Lilac Rose Shimmer Brick from Bobbi Brown. It's been a while since something from Bobbi Brown really made me say wow, but that has blown me away. The colours are absolutely beautiful for spring and summer. Get it here for £32. 

MAC Pink Pearl Pop. I can't get enough of this shade, I think it would look incredible with a tan, and anyway, life's too short for boring lipstick! Get it here for £14.

Looking back at this list it seems I'm having a slight love affair with pink at the moment doesn't it? I think after winter I start to crave light girly colours, unfortunately judging by the snow outside I might be slightly premature in that this year!

Have a great day darlings,

Lea

Hello my darlings!

It's been a while hasn't it? I had a wonderful holiday, and I even managed to get a slight tan! (I don't tan very easily). Landing back in Manchester was certainly a shock to the system, it was -3 when we left the airport! I can't wait for Christmas now, it feels very surreal to think I was in 80 degree heat on a beach this time last week, and now I'm listening to Christmas songs while the weather is so horrible outside.

I hope you've all been keeping well while I've been away, and you're enjoying the Christmas Spirit!

-------------

Now that I'm back from the land of bright colours and summer clothes, I'm craving the dark and sophisticated shades of winter. I also can't wait to get something dark and vampy back on my nails; I absolutely love that look.

Gloves, Leather Top, Wrap Top, Jacquard Skirt, Jacquard Trousers, Coat, Grey Top, Shoes, Nail Varnish.

I have a sneaky new purchase to share with you tomorrow, so until then!

A few places I would like to be

After another day of standing under a glass roof in the baking sun, I have come to the conclusion that there are a few other places I might wish I was (although I do really like my job).

I thought I'd let you in on a couple of them!

Yes please!

Saturday Morning Lusting

If I had a bit of spare pocket money, I would love these. I can imagine getting lots of wear out of the pumps on holiday, and who doesn't love gummy bears, the earrings are so fun and sweet for a summery day!

Belt £5.99, Pull and Bear, link here.

Dandelion FLuff Cuff £10, link here.

Gummy Bear Earrings in any of the circled colours £2.50, link here.

Union Jack Scarf £13 River Island, link here.

What do you think?

A Wednesday Wish-List...

These are some of the things I would love to click home today, but I know I have to be good and save my pennies until my London Olympic holiday in just over 2 weeks now.

Bacardi Pina Colada Cocktail

I love Pina Colada, it's my absolute favourite and I would adore a bottle of this. It retails for around £10 which I don't think is too bad, but putting a bottle of this into my weekly shopping basket would sure escalate the price at the till!

Betty Hula Rum and Blackcurrant Body Butter

This is available at Sainsbury's and again retails at around £10. I feel like that is a huge price for a little pot, but I really do love rum and this sounds too yummy to pass up on!

Mavala Honolulu and Victoria Nail Varnishes

It's no secret that I love Mavala, and these colours from the 50th Anniversary collection look so bright and punchy I can't take my eyes off them! I would love to have these for my holiday, I think they'd look great on both my fingers and my toes! You can find them at TheBeautyBay for around £3.50 each.

Salon Confidential Bouncy Curl Extensions

I've spoken before about Salon Confidential (I have the volume wave extensions), and I've decided that I'd like to take the plunge into full on curls again. I find that curls suit my face a lot more than straight hair, and there's nothing like a bit of volume to make you feel glamorous and feminine! These retail at around £40 on the NewLook Website, or you can search online for them.

Fifi Lapin iPhone Case

At the moment I have a dull pink case on my phone and I find this Fifi Lapin one so adorable it's ridiculous. I have such a soft spot for bunnies (I do have 3 after-all!) and I'm in love with the femininity and whimsicalness of the colours it uses. My only concern it how well it would wear and whether the design would wear away over time... I found it online here, for £24.99. (Just to quickly mention, the site I have linked to has some really cute and individual cases, perfect for us girly girls - check them out!)

Scarlett (Gone With The Wind Sequel) Book

This has truly terrible reviews, I can't even lie, but I desperately want to read it. Gone With The Wind is my favourite film of all time, it reminds me of my Grandma who I used to watch it with when I was a little girl. Let's face it, we all want to know if Scarlett won Rhett back don't we?

---------------------------------

So being realistic, I know I can't have them all, but I know I can pick a couple for my holiday. I'm going to pick up the Nail Polishes and the Book.

I have been saving up for a while for the extensions so when I'm at my target I'll definitely be ordering them, but for now I need to hold on to my hockey sticks! (I should have them by my holiday though)

Once I'm on my hols, I'm also planning on buying a bottle of the Pina Colada as a treat. It's going to be great for having a drink in our hotel room before we go out (or before seeing my mother-in-law), or hopefully when/if we stay in a camping pod :D

It would be silly to buy it up here since I would have to transport it all the way down to London with me and that probably wouldn't end well.

Do you fancy any of these things? I'd love to know what you're coveting!

Won't someone fly me away?

I'm dreaming about venice... how lovely it would be to sail in a gondola as the lights from the beautiful bars twinkle...

Someone take me there?
