Weekly Want #7


Striped Blouse - Missguided £21.99
Or wants, really! I'm after quite a few things from Missguided at the mo. Including these jeans, these leggings (an ode to Motels Jordan jean) and this dress is also on my list. It's a good job that Missguided is a well priced store, their prices are so cheap compared to come online stores and they have so much to choose from. I must admit I was apprehensive at ordering from them at first but I've been happy with every order so far (only two though I believe!)

On a side note I spotted this dress on Missguided which is an exact replica og one I got in the Ark sale for just £13.50 and managed to wear it once, with all the intention of getting some snaps for the blog but, it tore at the seam under my boob :( not best pleased but I think may have fixed it up, always good to have some sewing skills, guys! So there may be pictures to come, if I dare wear it again without the fear of it coming apart!

If you're a bird, I'm a bird



I stumbled upon Beaut Boutique whilst blog hopping, it's a lovely little etsy shop full of hand made Jewellery full of afternoon tea, woodland creatures and Alice in Wonderland inspired pieces, so of course I had to order a few things!
Now, I'm not a bracelet kinda girl but, I absolutely adore this bambi one, you can also get this in necklace form, I've got tiny wrists so bracelets can look a little lost or just fall off but I can fasten this tight enough for this not to happen. It's really cute and I just know I'll wear it all the time.

I'm a huge fan of anything quirky so the telephone box necklace caught my eye straight away and the bumble bee earrings are so cute. I was also pleasantly surprised to find an extra item in my order, the lovely bird earrings you can see above, always nice to get something for nothing! :)

I'll be looking out for any new additions, if anyone wants to check out the store you can here and you can follow Ruthy, who runs the store, on twitter for updates on items in the shop!

PS - I'm in love with this song right now

No, I'm not lucky, I'm blessed


With thanks to BuyaPowa I've got my hands on 'Save Me' and 'Metallic 4 life' from Nicki Minajs' collaboration with OPI, £12 for both of them (not including P&P) £10 cheaper than the rrp of £22 not bad, eh?

Metallic 4 Life is a black based varnish with lovely silver glitter flecks in it, it needs two coats as the black is a little watery and pale with just one coat but, I find this with most varnish with glitter in. Save Me is a silver glitter based varnish with strips of holographic glitter added in, its mesmerising! I'll be wearing this over other varnishes to make them really standout, I must admit it is a little 'teeny-bopper' in style but who am I to not let out the teenager in me?! I teamed it this week with W7's shocking pink, which you can see below, Barbie-tastic! (I think Nicki would approve this!)

 I've only just discovered BuyaPowa, through twitter, and I think it's great. Being able to buy brands that I'd never usually be able to afford, from a site you can trust, and as long as other people buy the product (by others recommending the deal by tweeting or facebooking about it) you'll get it at the lowest price they can sell it at!

I've got loads of alerts to come for co-buys when they go live, including the naked 2 palette (I think I may cave and buy it!) and a couple of Bobbi Brown/YSL products that I want to try out. Anyone else use BuyaPowa, what do you think to it?
