Rapunzel locks
When I was in Dorset last week I noticed Lee Stafford hair growth shampoo and conditioner on offer. I've used Lee Stafford products before and have loved the soft luscious effects. My hair has reached that annoying length it's not long and its not short it just awkwardly hangs there on the borderline, this is where I'm going to bring this hair growth miracle in. That's it off to the shops I go, and when I eventually do purchase these cute girly bottles of magic I will let you know of they really do what thy advertise

Foundation failure
I don't like writing negative reviews but sadly the time has come and it came at a very sticky price yesterday. A few weeks back my sister had accidentally picked up the wrong shade of expensive foundation so gave it to me. I would take this more of a burden now. Don't get me wrong the foundation covers well but it feels as if it suffocates your skin and clings harshly to your pours. Sadly I won't be using anymore of this, I think i'll stick to my non sticky Rimmel foundation.
Label lust
We have that one item or items of clothing that perhaps you don't have the extra money for at the moment but you can't help but run through wild ideas in your head in order to gather the money. My label lust, top of my wish list item at the moment is Topshop's khaki green army jacket. I know it's only £48 pound but sadly my purse strings just appear to not stretch at the moment. Hopefully with more shifts at work and no more shopping I will manage to have that coat on my back soon. Oh a girl can dream

Shellac nails
I've always been one of those girls who paint their nails and then two seconds later I either smudge or chip them. So this summer I have said goodbye to horrid amateur nails and have switched to the long wear shellac nails.
My sister always has shellac done and I thought they were too good to be true but my nails lasted all the way through 10 days in Zante and 2 weeks after.
The bonus point to Shellac is that they don't ruin your nails like acrylics or false nails instead the polish is applied like normal varnish however they are then dried under UV light.
I know their more money than buying a cheap nail varnish but they are your saver and remain shiny for weeks. I would highly recommend shellac nails to anyone.

Jewel Queen
I have to admit it now...I have an obsession with jewellery. I already have a large box already filled to the brim with jewellery however with the trip to Dorset and buy one get one free on jewellery in New Look and sale items in Topshop I could not contain my extreme want for more trinkets.
Jewellery adds diversity to any look, it pulls together an outfit and creates and entire new look I think this is why I love it so much. I never use to like stacking bracelets on my wrist but no it has become mandatory for my everyday outfits, I suppose you could say jewellery is a little addictive too bad it has a negative affect on my bank balance. Oh well at least my outfits will look highend even if my cash flow does not match it.

Welcome to Dorset
With Uni creeping round the corner me and my two of my housemates decided to meet up for 5 days in dorset at one of the girls houses for some time to get to know eachother. I think the term 'get to know' should be taken lightly because the minute us three were together it was like we had known eachother all our lives. We spent the days as fashion journalism students know best and that was shopping and getting ready and of course eating mounds and mounds of food. From laughing at eachother's weirdness to sarcastically abusing eachother we got extremely close. Now all I can think about is I can't wait to get to uni.
I've never been to Dorset but the picturesque landscapes, the smell of the sea and quite little villages was a great escape from the bustling streets of London. I appreciated the quiteness of Dorset even more when only back in London five minutes and I was already being yelled at by some rude woman on the train. Oh how I miss Dorset.
I am definitely a shopaholic but sometimes the crowds of London push me to my breaking point and make an enjoyable shopping trip and endless disaster. Yet in Dorset you can wonder around the shopping centres and empty shops without your blood pressure raising to unhealthy level and don't end up bruised from passers by. If you are looking for a place to shop in Dorset I would definitely recommed Castlepoint, it's open air and if your a highstreet shopper like me you can't go wrong as the shops include H&M, Topshop, Miss Selfridge and River Island to name a few.
All I can say now is get me back to the delightful Dorset.

Sixth form Prom
On Friday I celebrated with the rest of my year at The Sky Bar in St Pauls. Luckily the weather was ok and we could enjoy the wonderful views of the London from the roof terrace. Here are just a few photos of the night pre one too many drinks
