(Not So) Mellow Yellow


Nothing says Spring more than bright yellow Daffodils. Yellow - apparently one of this Season's major  colours. Yellow for this Season only? Yellow forever!


Who Wears Yellow: 



Buy Yellow:
So, if you are into (not so) mellow Yellow - get clicking.
If I could make one recommendation; buy mint Carmex - your lips will feel tingly, tasty and fresh!




TOP LEFT - RIGHT: PRIMARK yellow neon spike necklace (in stores) - ZARA multicoloured printed scarfIf you like studs, go for this yellow leather gilet from RIVER ISLAND Big Yellow Taxi nail polish by CIATÉ
Classic yellow VANS.





If money was no object, I would go for the Simone Rocha dress and that Joanne Hynes collar. As it is, I'll probably just use my mint Carmex as a yellow accessory - for the time being, of course - until I win the lotto...

Tell me, what do you think about the colour yellow?

Pretty In Pink (Beauty)


Nails are B.I.G news in the fashion/beauty World. B.I.G=Bold, Innovative and Glamorous. The more intricate the design on your nails, the absolute better!

Whenever I feel like making the effort of putting polish on my nails, I usually go for something quite simple - but I am nearly always attracted to dramatic colours - dark, bright, sometimes even garish colours.  Coral, anyone? Subtle colours are few and far between. However, it was the week of Valentines day when I decided to go for something a bit prettier, with just an added touch of  glam.


 The pretty element is thanks to Essie. This is my one AND only bottle of Essie nail polish and because it is so old, the sticker came off,  along with the name. It has quite a thin consistency, so in order to get a good colour, I painted four coats. The glam is a bit of purple sparkle. For this sparkly deliciousness, I used Sally Hansen's Gem Crush in Be-Jeweled, which I love!


The result: an alternative French manicure. Very easy to do. Sometimes, simple and Pretty In Pink (with a touch of sparkle) is just right.

Coral & Silver



Now that it's Spring, I have ditched the mittens and nail polish & rings are now dressing my nails & fingers. Coral-icious was the nail polish of choice for today. This shade of polish looks great with silver and grey rings.

What shade of polish are you sporting at the moment?

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
