Confessions of an 80s kid...

Okay, so I have a confession to make. I'm a little bit obsessed by the 80s. Just a little. I know the clashing prints and high waisted leggings can be tacky and seem so completely out of style, but I can't help it. I'm an 80s girl.



I also have a new obsession with rollerblades, and as I was skating down the street with my friend, an old woman didn't think I looked so hot. She thumped me on the back and said "What are you doing? What do you think this is, the 80s?"

Golden Girls

Thanks to my fellow bloggers Brenty and angelaseeangelablog, this next post is all about the bigB.

Balmain's collection was inspiring, beautiful and (there really are no other words), amazing. With their gold and black fierce dresses, tomboyish chic bow ties and sky high heels, I've learnt one thing: get ready for Balmain.


I love the gold dresses, they're glamorous, rebellious and beautifully made. The proportions really work too, the wide shoulder pads Balmain is known for get balanced out by the tight fitting dress. There is only one word, Wow. 

But, if your not one of the lucky people who can afford to whip out a couple of thousand bucks for a dress, then here's how to do it for less. Just remember, gold, gold, gold.

What I've been Listening to...

And we thought Topshop couldn't get any better...

As a big fan of the shop, I didn't really think Topshop could get much better. The endless party dresses, amazing shoes and fun jewellery all for a good price, what more do we need? Then came Topshop Make Up. I went to the flagship store on Oxford Street the other day, and immediately was drawn to the make up counter. Eye liners, mascara, nail polish, and not expensive? This must be too good to be true.










I bought the Nail Polish in Daredevil, a deep purpley, and after applying it two days ago, its still there. And thats why they're my favourite shop.












Caught up in the Maze


Heeellloooo. So today I was sitting by the fountains at Trafalgar Square with some of my friends, as you do, and we noticed this giant maze made of hedges. Pretty weird to come across in the centre of London, but we went in anyhoo. It had street signs and pictures inside, and we got pretty lost to say the least. But it was a fun day out, and anyone who's bored of this English "summer" should go check it out.

here it is....
