As a VERY amateur blogger I’m always searching for other blogs for ideas and inspiration. Heres a few of my favourites that I think you will enjoy reading to. All links detailed below, enjoy!

1.Colourmekatie If your feeling in a creative mood, give this blog a read and I’m sure it will inspire you to make, photograph, film, paint or draw something! She has a really fun outlook on life. I recommend having a look at her street art.

2. milkteef Beauty and fashion blogger, honest reviews on products that interest me, great style ideas and very relatable.

3.WishWishWish Vintage Style fashion blogger, this blog has some really beautiful photography.

4. Whatoliviadid Style based but has a bit of everything including cooking, music & beauty. Great one if you are lacking outfit inspiration in the mornings.

5. VIPXO Style and Beauty based, great for designer inspired eBay finds for affordable prices, this girl also has enviable skin complexion check out her Friday’s Face feature.

6. His+Hers This is actually a Tumblr rather than a Blog but they do write quite a bit to go with their images. It’s basically a blog that a girl and a boy both post to which gives it a nice incite into both their interests mainly centered around fashion.

This season, the statement necklace to be seen in is a metal collar. Below I’ve picked some of my favourites from the high-street; no matter how tight your budget is. (January is horrible isn’t it ? 5 weeks long!!) I was inspired by style blogger Morven Watson who is pictured below (really recommend her blog by the way check it out here! Her outfits are right up my street). I would suggest to wear your collar with a dress or outfit that is as simple as the necklace for effortless elegance.

A couple of weeks ago my friend and I ventured into the Topshop Cheltenham store. Rather than searching through the messy sale rails, we headed straight to the new season stock. Now I’m not usually one for buying jeans, but when I tried these babies on I couldn’t help but be seduced! The fit is amazing, they stay “skinny” all the way down to the ankle and don’t need hitching up every 2 minutes. I held off buying then as I thought they probably would be in for quite a while but this weekend I couldn’t wait any longer  and  decided on buying them in the Raspberry colour at the Worcester Topshop. I think I definatley will see what other shades they bring them out in and invest in another pair (cough a really light lilac colour would be great- thanks Toppers). Check out all the colour ways available here prices range between £38.00 to £45.00 for their metallic version if your feeling brave! If anyone is interested; featured below are the raspberry, emerald, apricot and turquoise shades. Perfect for the brights trend that is going to be big this SS12.

Few pics from my weekend. Taken with Instagram, an app which I really recommend if you have an Iphone. Lots of great effects which make your pictures look like they were taken with old camera’s and with various lighting effects.

Clockwise from Left: I looked after my mums dog, Harvey on Friday night, hes such a lovely dog, show cocker spaniel if anyone wants to know. He kept me company all day, whilst I did some of my SS12 sketches (I will be uploading these soon but there are so many!)

I had recently been told I should get the iPhone app “Fancy”. I love it already, it’s an app where people can upload pictures of inspiring places, gadgets, fashion, pets & art work. If it’s available to purchase you will be directly linked to it by tapping the picture and selecting ‘where to buy’. I have discovered so many new shops on Etsy via this app. Including these gorgeous sticks and stones rings which I really want! Her shop on Etsy is here ColbyJune. You can also follow your friends on the Fancy app to see what they are “fancying”. It’s great if your feeling uninspired on journeys to and from work or if you’ve got a few minutes in a day to spare. My Fancy profile name is MissBreeze please feel free to follow me if you have it!

Moving on I also painted my nails this weekend after having bare nails all week- how very boring! I used Maxfactor Cloudy Blue mini nail varnish as the base and just a pure white french tips polish for the polka dots. I did these freehand you would be able to tell this very quickly if I photographed my other hand! I prefer to use a dark blue polish rather than black as it just feels less severe.

Lastly my lovely, very late on the band wagon, Barbara Hulaniki Red Leopard print Topshop dress (in stores in 2009) arrived in the post on Friday from eBay. It is very short so I wore leggings with it on Saturday night. I really love it and can’t wait to wear it in the summer! Still waiting for my beloved American Apparel Disco Pants to arrive. I really hope they fit, I’ve wanted some ever since my friend told me about them back in October but at £70.00 I just couldn’t bring myself to get them, but I got a 30% discount voucher from American Apparel last week which made them £49.00 So I decided to order them to see what they are like! I think they are due tomorrow yay!

Last Friday the New U.S. comedy tv series ‘New Girl’ went out on Channel 4. I managed to get hold off the first 9 episodes which have already aired in the U.S. and have already watched them all. The show is centered around Zooey Deschanel’s character Jess who after a break-up, moves in with 3 guys. She’s a little bit crazy but you can’t help but love her! I found myself falling in love with her wardrobe whilst watching it for 4 hours straight, so I’ve put together a few items to recreate some of her looks from the show.

Annoyingly as is always the case with the American TV shows there is now a massive break before the second half of the series comes out! Meanwhile I’ll be watching all the episodes again on Ch4 at 8.30pm on Fridays (repeated on a Saturday at 11.50am incase you miss it!) I would throughly recommend watching it. Hope you find it as funny as I did! Episode 4 is brilliant!

1. Dorothy Perkins £24.00

2. Glamorous £19.99

3. Hearts & Bows £19.99

4. DODO’ LE PARISIENNE £50.00

Once again this month’s Glossy Box review is very late! But at least it’s given me time to properly use the products to give a better and more honest review! The December Glossy box was full of lots of lovely goodies as you can see in the picture, really impressed with it and well worth my £12.95! By the way Ive had a lot of people ask me how they can get one of these boxes so… If you just click on the link here, just click now, there is also a similar samples box called JolieBox UK which I might sign up to next month, check it out here.

MeMeMe Seventh Heaven Face Base £15.00

I would really recommend this primer. It feels really light on the skin and gave it a really nice texture and smoothness to aid with the application of my foundation. It didn’t feel greasy either which has been the case with some primers I have bought before. It smells really nice as well which is a bonus. The sample size is a nice amount and will probably last a while as I dont wear it that often. This is quite expensive but primer is a luxury product and I’m yet to come across a good cheaper one.

Rituals Foaming Shower Gel £6.50 Mandarin and Mint

This was probably the product I was most surprised about. It’s actually really nice, it’s a bit strange to get excited about shower gel so I wont go on too long. But it has a really nice smell and I like that it foams and it feel quite luxurious on the skin. I wish I’d receive the Yogi Flow pink bottled gel, mainly for aesthetic purposes and the scent sounds gorgeous! – Indian Rose and Almond Oil might splash out when I run out of the other.

Deborah Lippmann Razzle Dazzle Nail Polish  (£16.00) & Stripper To Go Removal Glove (£14.00 for 6 sachets)

This was my favourite of all the samples this month. The colour looks fab over the top of my Models Own shade- Purple Grey. (Original name there Models own!). Its really glittery and a lovely berry shade. need sa coat of clear over the top to make it last. Although, again for me , £16.00 is way too pricey for a nail polish. I’d go £10 at max if it was something really special.Heres a better picture of it here. The website has some gorgeous shades though and some lovely glittery ones, have a look here. I don’t want to waste my nail polish removal glove yet so I havent used it. I like to keep things like that for emergencies. I’m not sure what kind of emergency would require a nail polish removal glove but there we go!

Blink + Go High Definition Mascara

To be honest I havent tried this yet but it’s a full size sample, which is great as it would be £12.95 full price. The brush however is not a silicone brush so I’m doubtful that it will be able to perform as well as my current mascara, False Lash Effect by Max Factor which is great value for money and better than any high end mascara I’ve tried. I’ve never heard of the Blink + Go brand before either but looking at their site they also do false eye lashes in some nice styles if you care to have a browse.

Cargo Class Lip Gloss $14.00/ £8.96

Not going to bang on too much about this one as I dont wear or like lipgloss. If it had been a darker shade than the one you see pictured I may have tried it but to be honest I’ll probably end up throwing it away! But the rest of my samples more than make up for  this one.

Heard this song, “Heaven or Las Vegas” playing in Olive yesterday.  I couldn’t think why the voice sounded familiar but have since discovered its the same artist who features on one of my favourite songs “Crew Love” from Drake’s new album- Take Care – Give it a listen here. The Weeknd albums have a very chilled out vibe and are pretty easy listening – Loving the album artwork as well.

On a separate note I bought this beautiful cape in a red colour whilst I was in Olive, as I can’t actually leave that shop without buying something, will try to get a picture up soon if I can take one I like.

Anyway heres the song, no official video unfortunately.

I had to do a double-take when I saw these little beauties on the Benefit counter at my local Boots store. I hadn’t even realised Benefit did false eyelashes! They come in four different styles, the one I purchased and the ones in the picture above are the ‘Pin Up Lash’ style. I like my false eyelashes to look quite feathery in appearance and slightly longer than my own, so these were perfect for me. They retail at £11.50 at Boots, the little packets does not include the glue as this is sold separately, but I have so many little tubes from past pairs of eyelashes that I didn’t need to buy more. Rather strangely their false lash collection is nowhere to be seen on the Benefit website itself, they need to sort that out! I have tracked them down on this site here though. They may just be a contender for my new favourite false lashes. I normally buy the Mister Mascara full lash kit which comes highly recommend by myself and my friend who have re-bought them a few times now. The set comes with a miniature pair of tweezers to help with application. Available to purchase on ASOS.
