The one and only...

YSL Arty Ring! No I haven't purchased one! (Only in my dreams...)
I have however been hunting high and low to find a ring similar to it/ a replica - proving quite tricky though. And if you don't know what on earth I'm on about;

The only trouble is, one of these babies will set you back about £120. I unfortunately can't afford that so I've been on a serious mission to track something similar down! I found there were lots of rings which had definitely drawn inspiration from the arty ring but for me personally none of them really grabbed me. However, I do like most of my picks, and I thought you guys might like them too as this ring is highly desired out in the blog world! I think I'll just have to go for third best haha..













My favourites from the above are the third one in from Topshop and the silver H&M one (why is it not gold?!) The Boohoo star one was just a little twist. As for the gold tube like ones, I had an idea of buying one and then putting the Forever21 one on the next finger perhaps.

If you've found anything I've missed let me know! I've spent hours looking!

P.s. Sorry if you're fed up of all the jewellery - I have another planned for Monday :P

February

A bit of February inspiration for you all! Like January, I think February is a bit of a nothing month, there's only Valentines Day of course but I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing... Hopefully it'll be good this year as it has the potential, but you know what guys are like >.<

Anyone got any nice plans for Valentines Day?

Jewellery Wishlist

I've seen so much jewellery that I love recently, too much in fact. All from Topshop mainly!
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

* There's loads more jewellery that I want from Topshop, it just doesn't seem to be online though :\
* A few pieces in this wishlist I'm not sure about (3,4 and 10) because I think I need to see them in the flesh. I have a feeling #3 and 4 could be hideous!
* As you may be able to tell I'm liking keys and padlocks!
* Regarding #8, I've been thinking about these friendship bracelets for a while, I can't really decide if I like them or not? What do you guys think>
* #6 would be perfect for when I find an inspired YSL Arty ring that I like. It's proving extremely difficult!

Let me know your thoughts, I love hearing from you :D

Cape and Fishtail

I went into town today on the hunt for a YSL inspired ring and for a charity shop browse which I do occasionally. I was extremely unsuccessful on both parts! I saved some money though so it's not all bad! I think I might go to Primark tomorrow after college if I can be bothered to walk. Here's what I wore.
 


Topshop Knitted Cape
Next Navy and Pink striped top
Topshop Floral Jeggings
H&M Bunny Ring from pack of 4 animal rings
Jack Wills Wristband
Links of London charm bracelet
Topshop ribbon and chain watch

If you want to know how I did the fishtail braid, there are hundreds of tutorials on Youtube. It takes several attempts so be patient! :)

Holographic Nails

Before I start, applecherriemango has a great giveaway going you should have a peek! And if you're not into giveaways she's still got a lovely blog!

As I said, I'd show you the GOSH Holographic nail varnish which I acquired recently! I'm really pleased with it - the application is dodgy but I honestly can't stop looking at it!



Messing around with my camera!
More messing around - sparkles!
I adore this polish, if you're a bit of a magpie like myself then get your talons on this shiny gem ;)
As I was writing this post, a little friend of mine came to help me...!
Selma! Kitty #2
And then... I watched Rihanna's new video for her song S&M. Despite the song and the video being overly sexual I love it :D Watch it here. Then I got a bit carried away and did chains and a whip on my nails!


I only did them quickly so they're nothing special! 
Also, a big hello to my followers - they genuinely make me happy!
