No. 55

   Hello Grammys no 55.

I would probably go as far as saying last night's Grammy's was the best dressed Grammy's ever.

One of the best dressed last night would be Rihanna. I have to say I am not Rihanna's greatest fan. I like some of her music but I dont't know why but I feel she is quite arrogant. This is probably just me...but I am batting for Team Beyonce. Also do not like the fact she wears timberlands. I think this is reason enough. However, last night at the Grammy's she looked absolutely gorgeous. Her face was flawless, her dresses were beautiful. She looked happy (unfortunately on the arm of Chris Brown - don't get me started) but I don't think I have ever seen her look this lovely.

 

 

Black and white was also a popular choice. Bey, Kelly and Taylor all look stunning. Love Kelly Rowland's dress and the mermaid tail. Shapes her body beautifully and although risky she pulls it off with a lovely updo.

 

Chrissy's dress is gorgeous. The detailing throughout the dress is so intricate and although she is revealing her midriff she still looks classy. Her hair curly matches her nod to the romantic trend and the light mint clutch adds a touch of colour so we are not overwhelmed by the amount of skin on show.  One of my favourites.

Not so sure about Solange and Florence's dresses however I am loving their side split revealing a touch of skin. Also like how Solange has used a hot pink louboutin to contrast against the green.
I would have preferred less detail on Florence's dress as it slightly reminds me of a dinosaur. (probably not a good sign) Katy Perry wins this one for me. The dress is fitted perfectly and the light mint colour contrasted with her dark black hair looks stunning. Love the delicate jewels around the neck and her natural lips really compliment the dress.

This is a big post.

Because I got a CELINE.

I have wanted one for sooo long and finally got one. So this post is dedicated to my bag. My beauty.

 

I love the colour. It brightens up any outfit and is great for all seasons. I love how big it is as well, I can fit everything and anything in it. In love. 

Spain

I also visited Spain over summer...lucky me! I stayed with my cousin in a family friend's villa in Moraira which is a 2nd home to me. I have been going to Moraira since I was a baby and my nan also had a villa out there until very recently so I know my way around extremely well. The villa we stayed in was lovely. We had a view of the sea and also had our own private pool. It was also ten minutes walk from all the night life which meant we could walk everywhere.

 

 We stayed for a week in September and had lovely weather so were very fortunate.  Here are some snaps, mainly of what I wore..

Paris

I am going a little back now to show you what I have been up to. (really not a lot) Over summer I visited Paris - which was as gorgeous as ever. It was a 3 day trip consisting of mostly shopping and eating and of course sight seeing. We stayed at Hotel Joyce which was a lovely little hotel with amazing service. The hotel was less than 5 minutes walk to Saint-Georges metro station which was really convenient.

Unfortunately we didn't manage to get on to the Eiffel Tower as the queue was five hours and as we had already seen it when we were younger, we decided to give it a miss. We did go on a lovely sight seeing bike ride thorugh Paris to make up for it which is definitely a must if you go to Paris.

 Here are some of my pics, I won't bore you with the details except Paris is one of my favourite cities, mainly due to the food and the amazing Pharmaceuticals! We travelled around 45 minutes to visit a pharmacy and it was sooo worth it. If you love skin care then you may as well go to Paris just for the Pharmacies (I actually know a few people who do this and stock up whilst they are there!) but brands such as Bioderma, Vichy, La Roche-Posay, Avibon, Embryolisse (you name it, they have it) are much cheaper. I stocked up on a few of my fave things such as Bioderma cleanser which I have previously blogged about and La Roche-Posay who have great skin-saving masks. Ruth from A Model Reccommends blog has a great review on Embryolisse as well here . Also some of these amazing French products are now stocked at escentual.com so get buying!



Out of hibernation

Okay so my blog has been literally dormant for a very long time and I have no reason for it except that I am in my 3rd year at uni and have work coming out of my ears. I dream about essays these days! Will be very glad/sad when it is all over and I have to join the adult world working full time. Oh the joys. On that very note, I have no idea what I want to do, which is giving me a few panic attacks. I am lucky enough to have a part time job at a well known retailer however so I will not be completely 'job-less' when I finish, so I should still be able to afford my shoe/clothes/make up obsession. (hopefully) although my mother does keep reminding me that I should save for the future..bla bla.

I am going to try my hardest to keep the posts coming regularly, that is until I run out of money and have nothing to post!
