I'm thinking Tokyo

I'm obsessed with Tokyo at the minute, so much so that I have decided to go there next Summer. I love the look of the city, from the colourful lights and beautiful blossom trees to the wacky dress sense. I can't wait to get there and sample local life and maybe have a day of wacky dressing myself!

Fishtail glamour

It's the time of the year when all the stars head to the south of France for the Cannes Film Festival. This year the dresses are amazing but one style seems to be very popular- Fish Tail dresses, they are everywhere and look so glamorous.

Let's paint those pinkys

Nail art is everywhere at the minute,transfers and pens are all over the high street, so today I thought I'd dedicate my blog to it! I wished I could get arty on my nails but my left hand is a shaky jake when I'm putting polish on let alone drawing with a pen. Luckily I can use the transfers!

Japanese nail art... could be where it
all began

Met Gala 2012

It's another event where the beauties of Hollywood get out their designer frocks and show all us mere mortals what it's like to get seriously glammed up. Here are the celebs that I thought looked beautiful on the night. My favourite dress of the night has to be Nina Dobrev and Ashley Greene both in Donna Karen.

Belle of the ball: Beyonce's sister Solange was a little more conventional in her canary yellow gown

Solange Knowles looked gorgeous in
this canary yellow peplum dress.

B is the belle of the ball: Beyonce looks sensational in Givenchy Haute Couture dress at the 2012 Met Ball

Do I dare to bare?

As my holiday draws closer, I am starting to panic that I won't have enough clothes to take with me, or even worse, that I won't fit in with the beautiful people of Miami Beach. I have been looking for a few cossie's that are fashionable and will help me tan evenly, so I can show of my bronzed shoulders in a few strapless numbers. I need to take baby steps towards going full on in a bikini. Here are a few I have spotted on my hunt...

your very own private yacht.

one for a while.

What's the point?

I'm on the hunt for the perfect pair of pointy shoes. I have always loved them, they never go out of fashion and you can never go wrong with a classic black pair! My love began when I was about 7 and I found a blue satin pair in my mums wardrobe, I was instantly obsessed! Back then, pointy shoes were all the rage- being the 80's an all! They were being worn by my nan, mum and sister and it proved anyone could and can still wear them! Whether you want stilettos, mid heel or flats you can always find a pair of pointy toed shoes to go with every outfit...
