• A Different Take On A Festive Nail •

The one colour that I just don't like wearing is red. Whether it's on my lips or my tips I just don't feel comfortable as I think the colour doesn't suit me and seems to wash me out a bit. So when it comes to the festive season I do find it hard to add a festive touch to a look, as most humans would lean towards a red shade. However, a colour that I've found to suit me a lot is a dark plum shade. I've been looking for a dark nail polish after my Jack Wills Limited Edition one from a few years ago ran out - and I think I've found the one.

• Nars Brush Dupes •

I'm sure we all dreaming of owning Nars brushes, but a lot of us simply can't afford to splurge 30-something pounds on one brush. This is where bornpretty comes in. When they initally contacted me for review, I was a little hesitant as scrolling through their website the significantly cheap prices did make me question to quality of their products. But, as a self-professed risk taker, I decided to choose a few products to try.

• Cacti & Blog Chat •

My desk/dressing table was looking a little messy so I decided to give it a good tidy and put these three little cacti on it. Apart from that the last couple of weeks have been mainly me studying as the final week of school approaches, but I must admit most of that time has been spent procrastinating.

• The Playlist #4 •

I really do enjoy having series' on the blog, and one that is one of my favourites are my playlist posts. I love music and I love sharing my picks with you guys. As always, a lot of these are old favourites, but they're still worth a listen, and might bring back some old memories.

• The Mascara Dilemma •

I'll save all my apologies for not posting as you've heard my excuses a few too many times, but I'm back - and that's all that matters right? I've been wanting to talk about a new mascara I've been using for a while, because it's definitely become one of my favourites.

• The Wishlist #5: Urban Outfitters' Wonderland •

If theres one website I could spend hours browsing, it's probably Urban Outfitters. From their interiors to their clothes it's all perfect, and so many of them have made their way onto my wishlist. Sadly, we don't have an Urban Outfitters in Singapore, which is actually probably for the better as I would go wild in there. I also love finding and browsing through interiors and little knick knacks to go in my future dwelling. So of course I went ahead and made a little collage of my favourites from UO's new interior Wonderland trend (here).

• A Year Of Blogging •

I can't believe it's been a year since I set foot on this journey of blogging, so to say. I remember taking my first blog photo with my iPhone at 8 o'clock in the evening with awful lighting and editing it with sparkles (true story). I remember typing up my first post on my phone and feeling a thrill of excitement when I hit 'publish'. I still feel that little bit of excitement now, which makes it all worth it. A year a long the way, 150 posts and some 500 followers later brings us to now. A lot has changed since then, and I've learned a lot on the way. I care a lot more about the quality of my posts, and I don't think I'd love blogging as much as I do if it wasn't for you lot, as I really do appreciate every comment, tweet, etc. 

• The Playlist #3 •

I decided to create another playlist post, as I do enjoy sharing my song picks with you, and I've been listening to a ton of new songs after summer. As always, it's a mix of old favourites and new ones, so I hope you enjoy!

• The Crease Combo •

Most of us have a signature eye look, and although I thought I didn't have one, there is one step that I never miss out - whether I'm going for a full on smokey eye, or keeping it very "au naturel".

• The Wishlist #4: Summer Edition •

I completely forgot about this one, but technically summer isn't over yet so I thought I might as well squeeze it in. This summer I just wanted to enjoy it with friends and family, and although I did take a couple of shopping trips, over all I didn't buy too much.
