Highlights in the sunshine.

I had my hair highlighted again last month & got some much lighter shades put through for the summer, which have now turned even lighter thanks to the lovely sunshine we've been having recently! Here are a couple of snapsies!
I'm liking it lots at the moment, good colour for going out in the sunshine! & i've been playing around with some different lipstick colours as well. I bought "Up The Amp" by MAC yesterday, it's quite dark for daytime, but i wore it mixed with GOSH "Darling" to tone it down a bit & fell totally in love. Have any of you tried it?

Driving, Girlies, Cocktails & Nachos!

Here are a few more photos from Friday evening when Boo, Rose, Beth and myself went to watch SATC2. We had pre cocktails & nachos in Old Orleans, where it was 2 for 1 on cosmopolitans - winner! On the way there, Boo papped me driving, you should all go and buy this little cupcake air freshener that you can see! It's from Accesorize and smells of strawberries and cream :)
We were given a little quiz thing to fill out whilst we were eating, with a load of SATC questions on, the winner would get tickets to go and see the film...kind of stupid seeing as everyone they were giving them out to was blatantly on their way to see it that night anyway! But we had a larf & the waiter accused us of using our blackberries to find the answers, which obviously was totally, completely not true..obviously!
We had such a laugh, it was a really good night. Unfortunately (and i am a massive massive SATC fan!) we all agreed that while the film was funny, and there were good bits, it could have been better, and there wasn't really much of a point/story line to it! - controversial i know, don't hate! I did still enjoy it, it just wasn't what i'd hoped for! Also, i had hiccups for about 45 minutes during the film after eating my nachos quicker than i've ever eaten before so that we could run across the road from the restaurant and wouldn't miss the beginning! I have never seen the cinema so packed!
I hope that everyone who has been to see it enjoyed it, and that everyone has a lovely bank holiday - i'm working as per!

Photoboothing around before SATC2

Just a quick picture post before i go back to work! Here's me & Boo being silly on photobooth before we went to watch SATC2 last night with my other girlies. Fab night - i will post more of the cocktail/eating/satc action in another post, hopefully tomorrow!
Have a good weekend everyone! Have you seen sex and the city yet? What did you think?

First of all, i just want to say a million thank yous to all of you who have been so lovely with your comments on the post below! It's so nice to have your support and for you to be excited for me! I didn't want it to be like "ugh who does she think she is!" So thank you, i really appreciate every single one of you!
Secondly, here a just a couple of pictures taken by my friend Rose that i thought i'd share with you. I look like a little dweeb, but there we go! I wanted to show off my sandals. I bought these in River Island a couple of weeks a go, and i absolutely love them. I may try and do a post dedicated to them at a later date because these photos don't really show them off to their advantage!
I haven't been blogging as much as usual recently, got lots going on! But i have a few things i want to post about, so i should be back on my gameeee soon!
I have bought my Sex & The City tickets for tomorrow night and i'm mega excited! I've been waiting for this for about 6 months, maybe even more (bit sad)! But i absolutely love it, i have the box set & it's rare that a day goes by when i don't watch a couple of episodes, haha. Should be a good girly night out :)
I'm sure lot's of you are also going to see it, so i hope we all love it & aren't disappointed!
Have a fab weekend girls xxx
Ps. You may have noticed in my sidebar there is now a link to a couple of my articles! The one that's going into the actual magazine isn't on though, so i will still scan that when i receive my copy.

Published.

Hey girls.
Just a really quick post because i can't keep quiet any longer!
In my last post i mentioned some "exciting news" - i'm now going to spill!
Basically, a little while ago i got an email from a lovely lady (and magazine editor) saying that she read my blog and liked the way that i write. She asked me to do some features for a magazine for Graduate Fashion Week in London 6-10 June. Not quite believing it all, I wrote some articles for her and then a couple of weeks later got an email confirming that my piece is going into the magazine, and it goes to print tomorrow!! I think that the photo above is also going to feature, or a different one that she has of me, it will be a surprise, ha. Very excited that i got this opportunity, still can't believe it though! I will post some scans of the article and stuff when i receive the magazine in a couple of weeks :)
Hope everyone is ok! xxx

Pink Fairy Cakes.

♥

A couple of Sundays ago, my friend and I decided to make some fairy cakes! We drove to Sainsbury's & bought our ingredients, some pink food colouring, some strawberry flavouring (for the icing - which tasted like the strawberry fondant you get in quality streets - amazing!) and some rainbow pearls to decorate them. They were pretty scrummy, so i thought i'd show you a few pictures. I did intend on posting this a while a go, but better late than never hey!
Hope everyone is having a good week! xxx

Little update.

♥
Helloo girls.
Short little post, but felt like doing a quickie, you know how it is! Feeling a little sad this weekend, but a good night out with my girls, involving a LOT of dancing and laughing helped me along. I have just been for a long countryside drive to relieve a bit of tension and sang my heart out, not advisable with a voice like mine, but who cares when you're inside your car. It makes me laugh when a car pulls along side me and double takes at my mouth being wide open hitting the high notes, haha!
If you follow me on twitter (although my send request button to follow me appears to have stopped working, any ideas how to fix this anybody!?) you may have read a tweet last week saying that i was doing something potentially exciting, it's still a work in progress, and it's still potentially exciting, and i still don't really want to spill any details until i know the full deal ;)
Anyway, this picture of my friend Beth and I being bunnies made me laugh so i thought i'd share it with you! May do a face of the night/outfit of the night if people want? Although it was nothing special as i had about half an hour between finishing work and going out! I was like a make-upping machine!
Hope everyone is having a lovely sunny weekend, the weather's lovely here :)
