Oh heaven, i wait with good intentions

A little picture heavy, ey.










Dress: ASOS
Hat: Charity/Its not vintage stupid...

When i purchased the (last, woop!) supercalifragilisticexpialidocious laptop case in acid yellow *gasm* i also couldn't resist this little number. I'd had my lil eye on this shift dress for some time, so when i spied it in the sale section whilst trawling through ASOS i had a OhEmmgeee get that tartan in my arms moment.
I think its pretty cass, chuck carefully shimmy on a pair of tights and Chelsea boots and your set for the day, but i cant wait to take it out for a night on tiles... I'm pretty tempted to take the laptop case too! ha.
Safe to say im totally taking advantage of the lovely ASOS upping me to premium status over the Christmas period. some serious ASOS loving.

Anyone else been splurging on unnecessary items?

Palmer's Dark Chocolate and Peppermint Butter


My lips have been taking some serious winter weather bashing so in a desperate attempt to salvage them i picked up Palmers Dark Chocolate and Peppermint Butter (£2.75) from boots which contains pure Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E, Petrolatum and Peppermint oil which leave you a little tingly ;)
I have two words for you Totes Amaze... Oh, and another two Must Have.
Not only does this smell amazing and oddly enough taste amazing for a 'lip balm' it actually does what it promises to do, a rarity in most cases. It softened and moisturised my lips from the very first use and left a lovely non sticky glossy shine on my pout :) deeelightful. Safe to say this has been carried around with me since the day i bought it.

I'll wait for you








I wore this outfit to my nephews birthday party on Saturday, and yes before you ask my priorities do lay around trying to upstage the 4yr old birthday boy ha ;)
Everything is from New Look minus the cuff and belt, they my friend are from good old Primark.
My lack of posts has mainly been down to my shitty luck with technology. i opened my infuriating laptop to find the dreaded screen of death - Aaargh! BUT then *superman tune please* it just so happens my brother in-law was after shifting his MacBook air! Well Hellloooooo blessing in disguise.

This is Nicole reporting from the almighty MacBook Air, soon to be protected by this sexual thing. Gaaah L.O.V.E

NOTD - Models Own #Champagne



I'm neither yay or nay about this polish, don't get me wrong its shiny, pretty and an in between take on the usual silver & gold shades, but sadly no match for the daily wear and tear i must put on my nails.
 Just after one day it chipped badly, so with a swipe it was gone.
I dont know if i was just expecting too much from Models Own, after all the only other colour i own is Juicy Jules and well, we all know that Juicy Jules is well known for her durability and pain in the arse task of removal!

Let me know if your experience is different or if you have any colours you think are a must, i've really jumped on the nail polish wagon again this month. 
Loves :)

Please Santa...

Please Santa...


I'd like to think I've been a pretty good girl this year, so i don't see why i shouldn't get my mitts on the above... but, if Santa isn't knocking around on blogger, I've put them in viewing point of the lovely Mr :) "HI MR!!!"

17 Supreme Shine Lipstick (with Femme Noir Free Gift)

I cant resist most things in a shiny pretty packaging so when 17 chucked in a little free incentive by the name of Femme Noir gift set with my Supreme Shine Lipsticks (£4.99 each), i was yet again... at the checkout.




I'm always impressed with 17 lipsticks so i didn't think twice when picking up these shades, Pink Posey and Barely Blush. Like most of their lipsticks they are very moisturising, i think that's what keeps me going back to them especially in the winter time, remember kids, no one likes a chapped set of smackers!


The free gift contains
  • 17 Ultimate Volume Lip Gloss in Very Berry
  • 17 Glitter Eyeshadow in Night Sky
  • 17 Liquid Liner in Black
I've previously purchased a very similar shade of Very Berry lip gloss so its a bonus to have a back-up, as for the glitter eyeshadow, i tend to keep away from these but hey I'm an open minded kinda gal. I think the liquid liner has to be the pick pick out of the lot, its an intense colour and very easy to apply something that i think most people look for in a liquid liner.
Someone say Christmas party? Chiche-Cheesay! ;)
