Make up

I must admit I buy way to much make up. I have improved on my spending though. Before I would have bought anything that a magazine printed as the new miracle product but now I'm much more savvy. I generally stick to products that I have used for years. I will always wear Mac eye make up, I can never go wrong with their eyeshadows. It has taken me a long time to find the perfect foundation and while I found the perfect daytime coverage, I swear by Chanel, I'm still finding it difficult to source a great nighttime foundation. My search goes on! If any of you have any suggestions they're greatly welcome!

Rock Chick

My son wasn't very impressed when he saw I was wearing his t-shirt. I told him it is technically mine as I paid for it. He's still not impressed!!

Sequins

I bought this top in Topshop in Singapore about 5 years ago. I've never actually worn it as its kinda hard to match it with anything because it's so unusual. I wore this with a red Zara skirt. I'm sorry I didn't buy this skirt in every colour because I've worn it to death!

Red Blazer

I love this blazer so much. I'm sorry I didn't get it in every colour!

Casual

I am loving the person who thought of turning trainers into high heels!! Comfort without the midget effect. I'm such a shorty!!

Peplum

The peplum is the most flattering shape on any size. It gives every woman a perfect waist. This dress is my favourite ever. I've only worn it a handful of times. It comes out for special occasions!

Blouse

I love a sheer blouse. Where with a vest underneath and team it with denims and flats for a great day look or with a little skirt and heels for a night out. I particularly love any animal prints (I know it's obvious by now!) and this one from Zara goes with absolutely everything.

Coral

It's always worth having a look in the kids section for divine finds. A lot of the stores stock up to 16 yrs and even the biggest sizes are surprisingly large. And of course extremely cheap. Sometimes I have alter some of the necklines on tops as they are usually higher than adults but it's totally worth it to have something different. These shorts are from Zara kids. Especially with these snakeskin shoes from Next. I find that Next have great quality shoes and are really reasonable.

Stripes

I love my Penny's Beetlejuice blazer! A total bargain and divine on. It goes with everything, even other prints like this chain print vest.

A Little Leather

I love leather but I must say I never ventured past a leather jacket as I always thought it would be a waste of money to buy a skirt or pants as I wouldn't get the wear of them. I caved in a couple of years ago and bought these as an early birthday present to myself. I must say I have worn them quite a lot. Nearly always for going out at night but recently I've started wearing them during the day for casual wear. Here I teamed them with a linen vest top and a denim shirt.

The Blazer

Here is another outfit with my beloved snake print blazer. I adore it because it is the best fit ever and the print matches everything. I wore it with a neon pink and white vest and mint skinny denims.

My Daily Hair Routine

Someone asked me the other day what I use in my hair as it had grown so long and looked really healthy. It's all down the right products for you. Just because one product suits my hair doesn't mean that it will suit yours. I have really fine hair that gets quite oily and it's quite processed from high lighting. Yes people I'm a natural brunette. I use a lot of Paul Mitchell hair care products as I stock these in my salon and after years of trying all kinds of brands I genuinely think that this brand is the best on the market. I use Shampoo 2 to wash it. It's a clarifying shampoo so it removes oil build-up without over stimulating the sebaceous glands, i.e it gets less greasy! It also keeps my blonde nice and bright. To condition I use Detangler. It's a rich conditioner but not too heavy. It makes my hair feel silky every wash. After I towel dry my hair I use Super Strength Treatment Spray. This is the holy grail of all hair products and it is a must for all hair types. It strengthens hair by 60% after one go. It's not a leave in conditioner so it doesn't weigh down hair or make it oily. If your growing your hair you need this product! These three products along with a monthly treatment and 8 week trims has made my hair grow down super quick!

Lace

I love lace dresses. I saw them popping up in so many shops but couldn't believe me luck when I found this little number in Penny's (or also known as Primark in UK and Europe) for only €13. I'm a true bargain queen at heart. Penny's have fabulous clothes and are always bang on trend. They are especially great if your not willing to spend a fortune when experimenting with a new trend. I've often bought clothes and done a little DIY as sometimes so many people can end up with the same outfit.

Tribal

Prints are everywhere at the moment. Especially animal prints. But I really love the new Aztec and tribal prints that are popping up in shops everywhere. You don't have to spend a fortune to follow this trend. Buy a t-shirt like the one I'm wearing or Primark are doing fantastic print scarfs at the moment which are under €5! Majority of my clothes are years old. I just buy new accessories to update the outfit. I wore this t-shirt with cream denims and a blue denim studded waistcoat which I have over 5 years. It's even studded which is bang on trend!

I love primark. Addicted! They always bang on trend at great prices. I got this peplum skirt about 3 years ago but the shirt is a new find.

Colour Block

This is one of my favourite trends of last year and has definitely carried on into 2012. I love bright colours but I love matching them with pastels at the moment. It brightens everything up when it's raining outside!
