Fluro'

I bought Models Own Fluro' Orange a while back and finally got the chance to try it. Verdict? I absolutely love it. It's got a matte effect and drys almost instantly. I've put on two coats and the only downside is that maybe it could have done with a third on the longer nails as you can see where the white bit starts buttt as it dries so quickly tit's really not an issue. In real life its way more fluorescent- especially in daylight it's so bright!

I went to London yesterday for my team meeting, had to present which was scary. We then went out for our Christmas party at Las Iguanas for food and drinks, these drinks led on to more drinks and a whole load of free champagne and mojito's at a bar called Madison  which is the top floor of a shopping centre and has an amazing view over St Pauls. I'm loving London at the moment.

Broken Promises

What a weekend, Friday I went to Motion (shock I know!) for RUN012 which starred the likes of Rusko, Andy C, Scratch Perverts and Gemini all of which were amazing, definitely a line-up to shout about... best Motion night so far? Hmm I seem to say that every time aha, they just keep getting better.

Saturday was one of my best friends 21sts, she had a house party which again was soo much fun, a couple of us chipped in for her presents and got one of the lovely necklaces from Peaches and Nothing (which she absolutely loved) and a couple of pieces from Motel including these Pamela Mann Vertical Stripe Tights which I had to buy for myself as well, they're just so cool.

Thought my tattoo looked quite cool underneath my tights too so I thought I'd share :)

I booked Monday off as holiday for recovery/ a Bristol shopping spree- coming up to Christmas Cabot is always ridiculously busy on a Saturday and I just can't cope with it! I successfully managed to blow the rest of my months wages but I did get two gorgeous dresses for some formal events I have coming up... keep your eyes peeled. Bristol looked so Christmassy with the winter market and all the decorations up, I'm usually a grinch when it comes to Christmas- (I've worked Christmas Day the last 4 years!!) But this year I'm excited and feeling rather festive.

In other news I've lost my voice, I clearly can't cope with two nights out in a row and I've gone all husky. So today I was working in London greeting customers at an event whilst sounding like a man, early to bed for me tonight I think! Also I've come to the conclusion I have to go to London for an non-work-related reason, I honestly don't know why I haven't been yet.

Liebster :)

Ahhhhhhhhhh... yesterday the lovely Amy Bell from The Little Magpie awarded me the Liebster Blog Award. I was so surprised when I read my comment, it's made me really happyyy :) Thank you! Amy's blog is definitely one of my favs, check it out!!

I've had lots of goodies arrive today including a Models Own delivery (too exciting) and my beautiful necklaces and rings from Georgina at Peaches and Nothing (thank youuuu!). Ohh and earlier in the week my fake JC's (officially my favourite shoes ever) and 2 dozen nail art pens came to my desk at work. I love internet shopping.

Just a quick outfit post from last night, myself and the girls from placement went to Bella Italia (50% off vouchers on studentbeans) for one of the girls 21st birthday... we started off with a few glasses of red wine at her flat (which is lush, loads nicer than my poor excuse for a house- only 9 months left in it. Not that I'm counting...) and then walked to the waterfront for our food, which was soo good.

Halloween #3

I went a bit Halloween crazy this year and I absolutely loved it, everyone I went out with looked so cool and creepy. I saw a girl do sugar skull make-up last year and literally thought it was the best idea ever, so this year I didn't even have to think about what to be!

Dixi's 'funny bones' tights were perfect for this outfit, I bought them in a flash sale which meant they only cost me £6!! and I got free shipping! If you follow Dixi on Facebook they always run mini competitions to get free shipping or 10% off- soo good. They have such nice items on sale, my favourites at the moment are the Adele Dress and this 'Deer Me' Antique Ring.

Here's some pictures from the night, hope you all had (or are having if you're out tonight) a great Halloween.
