Mint Flamingo Wishlist

Mint Flamingo is a small accessories brand founded this year selling adorable jewellery. And the best part is the prices! If you like quirky and/or vintage this website is great or give them a visit at a vintage fair, just follow them on twitter for the latest on what they're up to! 
Below are my favourites from their collection, I love the sugar skull ring and the studded collar! 
The novelty earrings are the cutest things ever as well! 
Definitely going to have a shop on here when all my christmas shopping has been done!

Polyvore for IPhone Review

If you're a regular reader, you will know I like to do a spot of moodboarding on Polyvore. 
So I was uber excited to try out their new IPhone app. 
I'm going to India next week so I thought I would do a moodboard around that theme, with an outfit for the hot nights or day trips around the village. 

I have to say I thought the app was pretty average!
The way the products were displayed was the same, however you couldn't narrow down the search by price and colour on the web. 
I'm not sure about others, but mine kept freezing, so much so that I had to re-download it! 
Apart from that they'd pretty much thought of everything to suit the phone format, with resizing the items using touch. 

The only other thing was when uploaded, you can't post it anywhere else, there's no share button or anything, I think there was an option to do it whilst uploading, but not after, which meant I had to post this on blogger through the web. 

Despite the mishaps, I'm quite impressed I made this moodboard on my phone!
A handy little app when out and about! 
Try it yourself!

NYE Outfit

Hi Guys, 
I just bought this very sparkly skirt from Missguided and thought it would be great for New Year's Eve. Might be a bit early to start thinking about it, but I'm sure you all are! 
Sparkles are always big around the holidays, something to do with festivities and parties I think. 
I put together a little outfit of what would I think would look great with this ensemble and here it is... 



NYE Outfit




I never ever wear heels, not that I dont want to, just being 6 foot tall is a bit of a hinderance! 
I loveee these peep toe ankle boots, they make it look a bit more wintery than just plain black heels. 
The long sleeved crop top is very 90's (which is very now) and covers up some skin, classiness and warmth preserved, as well as complimenting the peplum with a bit of midriff, but not too much! 
Some contrast nails would set off the colours a bit more, a chose this shimmery red because its a darker colour and the shimmer matches the skirts texture.
I'm also loving nude lipstick at the moment. I bought some from Boots today, got home and had left it in the shop! so sad. 
Smokey eyes would look great with the colours and perfect if you're going out. 
Light jewellery would top it off, but not too much as the skirt is already the statement piece. 
Finally a bit of bubbly and you're set for the New Year! 
This would also make a great Christmas party outfit.
I was going to save it for NYE but I know I'll be tempted to wear it next week for the end of term! 
Hope you like it!

XMAS jumpers!

Tomorrow is the first day I will whack out my christmas jumper in a year. 
I am a baggy jumper lover, especially the christmas ones! 
So here is a little mood board of my favies this year!
I definitely found that the men's were ten times better than the girls, so I've included a few.
So I might have to indulge! 

XMAS jumpers!


Who's that girl?


I'm sure you've all seen the new christmas advertising campaign for Topshop. 
It's causing quite the stir across the social media and blogosphere!
A very clever way to spread the brand across the globe...
The main culprits as a guess for 'who's that girl?' are these lovely ladies!  




Olivia is Chloe Greens guess... same hair! but is she engaged?


This is the biggest guess from everyone! Here's hoping!

There have been a few rumours (she's american, she's english, she's an A-lister) but from the pictures I think you can tell that she's young, fashionable and engaged, my guess is as good as anyone else's!
So, who's that girl? 
We will have to wait and see!
