Look out sunshine!

Today was unbelievably chill: waking up after noon, sunbathing and hanging out with my sister. In the evening I met up with a friend for coffees...which soon turned into shopping. Oops!
Now I'm curled up on my sofa next to my purring laptop with the Fratellis invading my ears and forcing an involuntary toe-tap. This is the life:)
It's still taking time to get used to my new hair. I think it has finally finished developing the colour (it went redder for a few days). I'm still (positively) shocked every time I look in the mirror. But I'm in love with it.





Outfit of the day: Dress with bow details from Camden market (10 pounds) and  Dinsko heels bought off of  Emmi.


I have a bit of a sunglasses-fetish. Bought these retro ones on holiday in Estonia last year for 60cents.

I know I have stubby little sausage-fingers, but dammit I WILL wear big rings!

A bit of bling from GLITTER.

I couldn't NOT buy these gorgeous chunky heels from H&M, especially when the price-tag had a big red clearance sign  with a 3 on it. Yes, 3 euros. I've wanted a pair ever since they came in, but I'm way too cheap to pay 40e for summer shoes (It's only warm enough to wear them for a marginal time).
I was randomly reflecting on this summer I remembered this outfit (the tutu one) and how amazing I felt in it. MUST.WEAR.AGAIN!

I'm looking forward to a very busy few weeks: I'll be catching up with mates tomorrow and on Wednesday. Thursday is my packing day (and beach day with yet another friend) and on Friday I'm jetting off to beautiful Istanbul with my dad. The hotel should have wireless internet, so if in any way possible I'll be updating my blog from there, but if I can't you're looking at a HUGE update afterwards. I can't wait!

All the best to you lot

Don't take life too seriously!

Remember when you were a kid and you'd paint every single nail a different colour? I don't know about you, but I never stopped doing it (and I get so much crap about it). But it's good fun and pleasing to the eye (at least mine). I know that so many people find it a sort of tacky no-no, but that's what makes me want to do it even more (childish much?).

Here's a some terribly fun, slightly tacky but oh-so-lovely nail inspiration:

I think I may have to recreate these carelessly cool looks in my next manicure. 




If a teen magazine say it's a do, then it has to be. Right?
My way: Bright, well thought out colours in a particular order(because I'm anal like that). Maybe i should learn to let go for a change! I do, however love the summery candy-tones that now grace my finger-tips. 

Russian Doll's lovely rendition of the trend. I especially love how she placed the pink by the dark red to create a bit of a clash, and didn't alternate between cool and warm colours as I usually do.


The celebrity way. Also seen on Pixie Lott, Rihanna and Jordin Sparks (among others, I'm sure).

Love it or hate it? Let me know!
