So, I've fallen well and truely head over heels in love. You know when you can't get someone out of your head and they're all you think about and you'd do anything for them? Yep, just like that.
If you haven't seen the Miu Miu Vitello Lux handbag, you haven't lived I'm afraid! It's beautiful, the right combination of casual and smart, sophisticated and fun. It's just amazing.
Just take a moment to appreciate it...
YUM
Anyway, the minor setback is the price, an eyewatering £895!! If I had this lieing around spare I wouldn't hesitate to order it right now, unfortunately, I'm only human, so I don't! For now I'll have to settle with it as the background to my phone (notsad notsad notsad)
I've also had my eye on these shoes... slightly more realistic!
They're from Miss KG by Kurt Geiger and they're only £40 which is good considering I've found the quality of Kurt Geiger/Miss KG to be really good, they last a looong time. So hopefully when payday pops it's little head up sometime soon I can make a nice little addition to my shoedrobe, until then, I'll survive.
Let me know what you think, seen anything similar??

Hiyaa, right, anyone who doesn't follow either bloggers, youtubers or anything like that, then this will seem a bit odd. Anyway, 'What's in my bag?' is a tag, someone will film/write about it then pass it on to the next person, I love them, I love being nosy and sometimes you can actually tell a lot about a person from what they carry with them... or maybe I'm just nosy. Well, this is mine, the bag I took to college today and use most days, obviously took out receipts and stuff...
I loooove it, I use it like everyday. It's from Ted Baker in House of Fraser and it's beautiful :-) everyone deserves a treat every now and again!
Now this is what's in my bag, right!...
So,
Memory stick & keys: fairly straightforward! The keyrings are from Accessorize
Cowshed Moisturiser: this smells amazing! It's called Moody Cow and it says it smells like rose geranium, linden blossom & frankincense, basically lush
Lacoste Pour Femme Perfume: I love the smell of this too, it doesn't last very long and it was on offer when I bought it so it's the cheapest one to carry with me for top ups!
Model Mirror This is great, don't know how I survived without it! You can get them from www.feelunique.com cheaply, it's got a magnified mirror inside and little lights for when you're doing your makeup in the dark!
Starbucks Mints:I only got these because I went to Starbucks for lunch today, they make your mouth taste smokey afterwards, yuuuk
Hand Sanitiser:This one's foamy! It's cute and easier than washing your hands, I hate hand driers!
Rose & Co Lipbalm:This is the best lipbalm I've ever used and it smells soo nice, I got it from Boots for about £4 I think
Elnett Hairspray:It's the diamond hold one, medium sized and good for carrying on bad hair days...
Pencil Case:Is from Laura Ashley at WH Smith
First Class Stamps:From when I was in Birmingham and had to send my sister something in Cornwall, I only have them because there's no place for them in my room
Hotel Room Keys:Also from Birmingham, I just still have them in there!
Hairband & Grips:For emergencies...
Lipstick:Is Faux by MAC, I don't wear it everyday but if I fancy putting some lipstick on it's fairly neutral and goes with everything
Sunglasses Case:Only because I like to have them if I'm in the car, I definitely don't need them outside at the moment!
Water Bottle:I don't drink enough water so I'm trying to drink more cos it's good for my skin but I hate water! It's so boring, give me a bottle of full fat Coke anyday!
Diary:To try and keep me organised, it does not work
Makeup Bag:Just in case! From Ted Baker in Boots
Purse:Is from River Island, I like it because it's got so many compartments
Egyptian Coin:I used to keep this and the pebble in my purse but I keep finding them in the bottom of my bag, they're from my holiday to Egypt (obviously) last October and I like it as a nice reminder!
Pebble!:Haha, so random. It's from when I went to Spain and France with Poppy and I saw it on the beach and decided I wanted it, simple as!
Salt Sachets:I always have salt sachets on me! From Burger King and McDonalds, plenty of my friends will tell you they come in handy more often than you'd think
Twirl Wrappers:Because my lovely English Language teacher thinks a Friday is as good a reason for chocolate as any
English Literature Books:These are only in here if I have college, it's Thomas Hardy & William Blake poetry and John Fowles' The French Lieutenant's Woman, in case you were interested!
Hope you enjoyed a nosy through my handbag!

Hi :-)
Tomorrow night I'm going out for my friends 18th and I was looking in town for something to wear and tried on a dress in New Look, but decided I didn't really need it (got home and decided that I do but there we go) so I thought I'd have a browse at the shoes because they're normally great and quite reasonably priced too so I did! I found the most amazing pair of shoes! Tried them on and they were fine, slightly high but no pain no gain! Still, I was very good and convinced myself I didn't need another pair of heels.
I went back to college and all I could think about was these shoes! You know when you don't buy something and you spend the rest of the next few days wishing you had, well I knew this would be one of those. As well as a couple friends convincing me I needed them in my life, this is very true. I then realised I didn't have time to get them so I tried to push them to the back of my mind and moved on with the English Language class, much more important...
I got home and thought I'd have a look online, because I can use someone elses student discount online, but then I thought I'll have to pay a fiver for next day delivery so it doesn't pay off. Anyway, I added it all up, the shoes are £24.99, next day delivery is £4.95 and student discount is currently 20% (get your arses down to New Look!!) Soo, I could order them online, have them tomorrow and not have to worry about being in town tomorrow morning, all for the same price I'd pay anyway!
Phew, that's a lot of shoe talk, after that grand build up, here they are!!
Aren't they beautiful?! I feel like a proud mother, they're literally glitter all over, some people might think they look tacky but I don't care, I think they're amazing and I'm not going to take them off ever again.
Let me know what you think!

Time for a sad story, have your Kleenex at the ready! Yesterday after my post about how much I loved my nails, I greedily cooked some roast potatoes (they were yummy, I will tell you my secret one day...) and carelessly opened the oven door, which resulted in this
So today I've been wandering around like a wally trying to hide my thumb and finger from anyone with any chance of seeing them. I was so annoyed with myself! Luckily, I'm all booked in to have them sorted tomorrow lunchtime so I can proudly display my fingernails for all to see!

Hi guys!
Today I caved and bought the new Garnier B.B Cream! Anyone who follows beauty blogs/youtubers will most likely have heard of this but for those who haven't it's basically a tinted moisturiser but lighter and I think it gives the coverage of a foundation. It's come from the Asian craze for their similar skincare products and there was so much hype surrounding it, especially online, and I can see why!
This is the packaging
It claims to 'even tone and boost glow, blur imperfections, smooth fine lines, hydrate for 24hrs' and it has SPF 15.
It definitely evened my skin tone and it really does make your skin glow and it looks really healthy and fresh! I don't really have 'fine lines' so can't comment on that! But it does leave your skin feeling really refreshed, light and so so smooth!
There are 2 shades, light or medium, it seems limited but I tested mine (medium) on 5 friends today, all ranging from pale to tanned skin, and it just blends with the colour of your skin so it doesn't matter!
It's £7.99 in Superdrug at the moment, I think the RRP is £9.99, and if you get student discount and your Beauty Card it's a bargain!
It also smells great, it's not fruity but kind of herbal and creamy if that makes sense!
The only negative thing for me is the fact it has SPF, for most people that's probably a good thing but at the moment the sun isn't at all strong so I don't want to go putting SPF on it otherwise I'll turn out like a ghost. It is handy for wearing it on holiday or in the summer though, and it certainly wouldn't stop me buying it.
Unfortunately the difference doesn't show up on camera so you'll just have to take my word for it, it really does work!
This is my hand before...
And this is it after...
So you can't really see it in the pictures but it really really is worth it!
It could be worn alone easily, it's enough coverage and still looks natural, it could be used as a base for a sheer foundation, a full coverage might be too heavy for it and defeats the object but it's up to you. I'd probably use it with my powder over the top.
Here, I've set it with Mac's Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Plus
I'll definitely be using it at the moment, my skin's been a bit changeable over the last week or so, so I think a B.B cream will allow my skin to breathe better than a thick foundation to cover it up. Plus, Garnier claims that they've used natural ingredients where possible so that can only be good!
So, in conclusion: GO AND BUY IT
Really, it's only £8 at the moment, it performs better that a lot of 'drugstore' foundations, is cheaper and better for your skin, plus points all round!
Hope you've liked this, let me know what you think please!

Hiyaa! So, this is my first blog, and it feels like it's been a long time coming! I'll be writing about anything related with hair, make up, clothing, perfumes, nail polish, shoes etc etc... So, as my first blog post I'm going to introduce you to my love of nail polish. I usually have acrylic nails on, just because my own nails are really weak (I know it makes it worse, catch 22!) and acrylics means they're nice and long and strong.
Today I got the inspiration from a girl called Melissa Rock on Twitter who did something similar. So, these are my nails
And close ups of my hands...
It's soo easy, I literally just used a cocktail stick/toothpick to do the designs and I love it :-) my favourite is the pink roses on my middle finger. It does take a lot of nail polish, luckily I've got a fairly substantial collection! Here's what I used...
Hope you liked this!
