The White Nail

My instagram white nail collage!! 

If you follow me on Instagram you may already be aware of my nail colour obsession of the past few months. There is something so, just...cool about the white nail trend. It is so crisp and clean and polished. In the past few months I keep going back to a classic white nail polish whenever I'm in-between colours. I'd like to think it's become my signature colour! My go to polish is Revlon's White on White which I bought years ago for a solid white block shade. For a more sheer white nail I go for Essie's Ballet Slippers. If you're feeling in a bit of a nail polish rut lately, give the 'white hot' trend a go!

The Haircare Edit

What do I use on my hair? What are some of my top picks? Read on... (and trust me, this list is NOT exhaustive, I am a hair product FANATIC!) 

My hair is honestly nothing to write home about. After years of dyeing and applying heat to it, the condition has never been great, but I believe I am now using the best products for my hair for it to reach its optimum condition and appearance. I have tried and tested a hell of a lot of shampoos and conditioners throughout my 21 human years, and unfortunately, along with the likes of skincare, this is an area where you have to spend a little more to get results. My go to shampoo/conditioner duos are both pretty pricey, but work like an absolute dream. Along with the Philip Kingsley elasticizer which I use every other wash for a deep condition, I always now turn to the Bumble and Bumble Surf duo and Living Proof's restore partnership. Both leave me with hydrated, glossy locks which result in me needing much less styling. 

However, sadly, I am not one of those lucky girls who can saunter out of my shower and do nothing to achieve gorgeous, glossy, smooth waves (I'm looking at you Kate from Lost...are we actually expected to believe she had perfect glossy hair CONSTANTLY whilst shipwrecked on a deserted island for months without once even appearing to pick up a hairbrush?). Rant over, my point is, my hair DOES WHAT IT WANTS usually, so styling products are necessary. 

THEREFORE, after a good wash with the afore mentioned, I will whack on some Moroccanoil (the queen of hair oils) and either dry my hair or let it dry naturally for less heat exposure. When it's dry, I spritz on some of the Lee Stafford heat protection spray (it smells amazing...and it's PINK) and work in some Bumble and Bumble de-frizz serum. Next, I style my hair by creating waves with my ghds in layers, and when I'm done I will either use a curl spray like Toni & Guy's sea salt spray or Bumble and Bumble's surf spray, or some texturising spray like the V05 one with some of their root powder. Last, I finish with a shine spray, like the Charles Worthington Shine Booster. As you can see, I think it is  much easier to spend less on styling products and still get results.

That Dress..

 Shoes, Dress & Belt: All Topshop 

Hello all you lovely people. Firstly I just have to say sorry about the colours and quality of some of these pictures; my photo editing programme was on one. Secondly I have to admit that this dress is borrowed from my (adopted) cousin Charis and so I cannot take credit for owning it, although I wish I did. It looks so much more expensive than it is and with some bright orange accessories I think it is such a special dress. It's an old Topshop number and reminds me of the days when we both used to work there and did clothes swaps all the time so we could both wear the latest pieces. Charis is getting married next year so this little post is for her! 

Hope you are all well and remember to follow me on Bloglovin' HERE if you'd like to :)

The Birthday Post: 21 in BARCELONA

I thought I would share with you all some of my snaps from my recent 21st birthday, including my trip to Barcelona with one of my best friends and our Mumma's. It was such a lovely birthday and trip. I had a great day, spending my time at the spa and then partying hard at Movida in London. I wore my motel dress with a giant statement necklace and shoes (see it above). I also received some lovely presents including my beloved Michael Kors watch, a Kate Spade laptop case and some books, makeup and other little bits and pieces :)

Barcelona was also so much fun, and included a bus tour, cable car ride, trip to the Hard Rock cafe and some Spanish markets, the Gaudi Cathedral, a night by the dancing fountains and of course some shopping, including a trip to Sephora (heaven).
