On All Fingers – Barry M NP328 Metallic Blue Nail Polish. On all fingers except the pinky’s I have used the magnetic pattern.

So I am still a bit so-so on these nails. What do you think? It is different that’s for sure, but different can either be good or bad! So, last night I watched Twilight, yet again. I have only watched the first one because I have heard that the rest are not very good. Do you think I should watch the others as well? After that one I watched The Ugly Truth, yet again, I love that film! As you have probably picked up on by now, it was a very lazy early evening and I feel in good shape today! I am planning to go the gym in a bit, but first, porridge and berries for breakfast! Have a lovely day!

Good Morning! It’s always so difficult to “function” on mondays after amazing weekends and as you probably have seen this weekend was amazing! I probably ate my bodyweight in chocolates, I was rather nauseous from it all last night! Oh well, I will make it up to my body this week by going to the gym and do massive sessions! I had strawberries and porridge for breakfast and I’m heading to the gym now, so hopefully by the end of the week I have made up for my splurging! What are you up to? Gymming or splurging?

Good morning everyone! How are you? Are all of you from the UK aware that this is a 4 day week?! And that next week as well will be a 4 day week?! Great times right? It’s easter everybody! So, what are your plans? Going home? Going to a party? Going to a cabin in Norway with your entire family? Well, I am going to do the latter and I am very excited! This week is going to be just relaxing, relaxing, relaxing until thursday when I am going for dinner and seeing The Rock of Ages Musical. Then I need to get up at 5 or something ludacrious to make the flight to Norway on friday morning! No matter, my boyfriend and I will have breakfast at the airport and I will look for a new pair of sunglasses. What are you guys up to?

Killer Eyes.

First apply on all fingers – Chanel 511 Pearl Drop. Afterwards make a round circle, on the middle of all the fingers – Chanel 513 Black Pearl. Then in the middle of this circle (with a very steady hand) – Chanel 461 Blue Satin. Finally make the eyelines and the eyelashes with Chanel Black Liquid Eyeliner. If you want to make the nail polish last even longer, it is also wise to put a transparent layer on top!

Meet my lovely friend Chi (or at least her fingernails). She came home with these nails last week and she has received mixed reviews; I personally love it, however, some of her friends consider it to be “creepy”. Oh well! We can’t always agree! So how is everybody? Tired? Join the club! Had a lovely weekend? I hope you did! Mine started on friday (as weekend’s tend to do!) with work drinks. When I came back after those, it turned out that my entire house had been drinking so we simply continued with tequila shots (without lime, lemon or salt). This should have given me a lovely hangover the next day, but luckily, it did not! So on saturday I went shopping with my girlfriends, before I went out for drinks. The drinks moved on to a party, but I decided not to go, very unlike me! And then on sunday I had a lovely walk in Hyde Park in the beautiful weather and I watched The Hunger Games. I know this is a “Must-See” film, however, I find the whole concept horrible. I have seen The Condemned before, which has exactly the same concept, but with criminals who are already sentenced to death. I thought that was fine as they are criminals and they were all going to die anyway, but innocent children? Not my cup of tea! Oh well! You should definitely go and see it and tell me what you think! Have a lovely day everybody!

Dress by Marni for H&M (Completely Sold Out, maybe accessible at Ebay), Wedges by Christian Dior (Vintage), Leather Belt (Vintage), Ring by Lalique (here at Ebay) and Earrings by Les Néréides.

Good Morning! Has everyone collected their free latte from Starbucks yet? You can go into any Starbucks chain and they will give you a free latte today before midday! How good is that?! I am going to go and get mine soon! For sure! So what are you up to today? Anything good? Me?…..Oh you are too kind to ask! I am going to watch the film This Means War! Very excited! I especially love the “salmon comment” at the end of the trailer! Makes me happy! Yesterday was spent having dinner with a friend at Zizzi’s. I am not normally a fan of restaurant chains as I find they tend to become rather boring, however, I think Zizzi’s is an exception to the rule, and plus it does italian which is my favourite! Additionally, it is very good value with the tastecard! Happy eating!

Good Morning! This has been a very busy weekend which will be followed by a very relaxing week until I go to New York on friday. So far I have no plans this week apart from watching This Means War. Should be good, I love going to the cinema! My weekend properly kicked off on Saturday morning with Afternoon Tea at the Hotel Montcalm. Then I went to London aquarium where I saw Sharks and little Nemo fishes. Very nice! Very touristic though so I would advise not going on a saturday, other than that it was good! Then we went for dinner ar Boyd’s Brasserie which offers British Tapas, another wonderful dining experience! The day finished with the Chicago musical which is also highly recommended! Overall, I would call that a very fun day out! Sunday was spent having a lazy birthday lunch with my cousin, preparing blogging material for this week and having a very large lovely roast dinner with friends! This has been a very eventful and very lovely weekend! I hope that yours have been just as good!

On both thumb and Index Fingers – Rimmel 805 Grey Matter. On both middle and ring fingers – Rimmel 510 Euphoria. On both pinky fingers – Rimmel 210 Etheral.

Good morning everyone! Had a good weekend? ….Me? Oh how lovely of you to ask! Well, my weekend kicked off with drinks at the Longacre, located only 10 metres from Leicester Square Tube Station. We kept buying jugs of Long Island Ice Tea which obviously had its effect on my shape the next day! However, it was so much fun. No pain, no gain! The next day I went shopping and discovered Browns Fashion for the first time of my life. I know what you are thinking, how can I seriously care about fashion if I have never been to Browns?! Fair enough. Very, very, very bad from me. Anyhow, went there, wanted to buy it all, however, unless you are married to an Oil Sheik, your mom or dad is an Oil Sheik, or you know an Oil Sheik who truly adores you, it will be difficult to buy multiple items. Oh well! Maybe I can save until I am 40 and go on a massive shopping spree! On sunday I had a lovely breakfast at Soho Brasserie (tell you more later) and watched the Sound of Music. All in all another lovely weekend! Do you have any good weekend stories? Please do tell!

On both Pinky and Index Fingers – Deborah Lippman I Love the Nightlife. On all Fingers except Pinky Fingers – Depend nr. 39. On all Fingers – Chanel Top Coat.

Good Morning and Good Monday! How is everyone? Tired? Thought so. Another week. Yet another week. Oh well. Let’s make it a good one! Yesterday the weather was gorgeous in London so I went to Hyde Park followed by a lunch at Ottolenghi (will tell you more later) and dessert at Christian Louboutin. I am buying a new pair and I am so excited! Today I am going for a long run, meet friends at happy hour and then go for a play at Soho Theatre called “My Stories Your Emails“. The play is a one woman show, should be interesting as I have never been to anything like that before! Might be a bit weird, but I’m positive it will be fun! I hope you had a lovely weekend and that you’re ready for another week!

On Both Index and Pinky Fingers – Rimmel Pompous. On All Other Fingers – Isadora Perfect Hot Red.

I hope you all had a good weekend! Mine was spent first on saturday moving mine and my boyfriend’s stuff from Sevenoaks to London. Then helping him settle in. I also went for a run on saturday, fifth workout day of the week, slightly proud of myself I must say! I went out to Lock 17 in Camden on Saturday night which was a good night out! Highly recommended! However, my favourite Mango Leather Jacket was stolen. Bit of a bummer! So if you ever go to Lock 17: Protect your belongings! Then sunday was spent hungover shopping for egyptian sheets, we found a lovely set which led to a good nights sleep last night! Overall a good weekend! Today is Monday the 20th of February, also known as Moving In Day! YEY! Finally going to arrange my wardrobe, make my surroundings pretty and not have to share a double bed! Not that I don’t like sharing, but sometimes it’s good to have your own things! I’ll spend my evening moving in and sorting out my room! Have a lovely evening!
