One of the annoying things about boarding school? Not being able to post as frequently, so I'm sorry.

I have started to gather a slight obsession with charity shops. (I think in th US their called thrift shops? Corre

Hello hello!

So this is my first ever review and it's quite exciting! So here goes: so I got this tinted moisturiser for my birthday from my mum. I love it, so I thought I'd say what I love about it.

Marilyn Monroe. She is one of THE most idolised women in history. She has had countless movies made about her. She has thousands of women striving to look like her, and to try and get her magnificent hair do. Over the years, many people have had the opportunity to play Marilyn, the most recent is Michelle Williams and she is the best Marilyn I have seen. She has got the hair perfect, and she looks very similar to the original icon. I can't wait to see this movie, it looks absolutely fab! It looks romantic, sad and possibly funny at time. Out in theatures now!

Marilyn Monroe has inpired many women across the globe with the way they look. Many women have looks that resmble, or are inspired by the way she looked. Scarlett Johansson donned a Monroe inspired look for the D&G adverts, Rihanna for her Vogue UK cover shoot. Also, Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Christtine Aguilara and Lady Gaga have famously been inspired by the beautiful woman.

Michelle Williams in 'My Week With Marilyn'  looking absolutely beautiful.

Marilyn Monroe.

Scarlett Johansson for Dolce & Gabbana - the hair is the main focus for the look here.

Rihanna for Vogue UK - the main focus is the hair and the tight fitted 1940s/50s clothes.

Madonna - for this look she had eveything. Her hair, the clothes, she even donned a typical Monroe pose

Scarfs. They are my favourite wooly winter item. I own far too many, but here are a few that are perfect for the cold winter months!

£14.99 - H&M

£20.00 - River Island

£22.00 - Accessorize

£6.99 - H&M

Apologies for my recent absence, I'm afraid I have been busy and haven't managed to do any posts recently.

Christmas is drawing near and I couldnt be more excited. I LOVE Christmas, everything about it. I love the great food, the cosiness, the family time and obviously presents. But one of my most favourite things, as I'm sure it is with most people, is the decorations and the tree. Doesn't matter what 'kind' of decorations you like, your home will look beautiful! My family and I have always stuck around a red/purple and gold theme, some people have a silver theme, some have gold, some have multi coloured some base theirs around how their home looks anyway, and some just have evrything - from handmade decs, to sparkly shop bought ones.

You cannot have a Christmas without a Christmas tree, and I personally prefer having a real and natural tree compared to an artificial tree. I think the smell you get with the real one is a major factor, altough the little pine cones that end up on the floor are a nuissance. Fake trees just aren't the same though.

Here are some simple tree decorating idea's for those who fancy a change, or are stuck for ideas!

Have a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!!

This is OFFICIALLY my quote for life. So inspirationable and said by such an idol. LOVE IT!!!

Hi all. So I have just seen these shoes in Schuh and they're amazing! I personally would'nt wear these shoes, but they are very beautiful. They are perfect for a christmassy pick me up, and have a very similar resemblance to Dorothys shoes in The Wizard Of Oz. The heel isn't too high which makes it easier to walk! They are so cute, and would be great for Halloween this year!

They cost only £65 from Red or Dead and Schuh. They're so cute!! What do you think?

Happy autumn! Autumn happens to be my favourite season. I love the colours, the weather,  the clothes, everything! I love the dark, but not dull colours, and how they are dark but still bright and colourful. In England, autumn is lovely, the leaves all on the ground give the streets and parks such a beautiful colour. It's also not too cold but definitley hot so it's the time of year where you start bringing out the coats and scarfs in preparation for winter!!

This year I am really loving the colours and the styles. There are lot's of dark wine reds, burnt  oranges, plums, dark olive greens, yellows and different shade of browns. They're absolutely beautiful  and are found in almost everything. I've been completely sucked in by this colour fest and had  bought a wine red dress and jeans, a burnt orange jumper, a cinnamon jumper and my bedding  is dark plum! I'm slightly osessed...

Here are a few items in these colours. I hope I get you hooked on Autumn!

Red:

A look I'm really loving at the moment is the character from Pretty Little Liars called Aria Montgomery. She is played by Lucy Hale, and is by far my favorite in the fashion stakes. If you don't watch the show, Aria recently moved back to Rosewood after living in Iceland for a year, she happens to be dating her English teacher Ezra Fitz, and also has some issues at home. Also, if you don't watch the show: watch it!!

Aria's clothes consist of lots of dark colours such as dark plum, reds, browns and lots of black. Accessories are very important for achieving this look, think long pendant necklaces, or maybe wearing more than one. Also long earrings in all kinds of designs; feathers, hoops, anything! And belts! She wears lots of girly dresses that are fitted around the waist and finish just above the knee, but she makes this girly look edgyer with aspects such as leather jackets, boots and bold hoisery. Aria wears lots of patterned tights and socks, she will often be seen in knee high socks. (Topshop are great for them!)

As for her make-up, Aria wears quite dark  eye make-up one day and the next she will  be quite natural. Play around with your  make-up, and try and grasp how to do  smokey eyes (there are many tutorials on  YouTube). If you want your hair to be styled  in the same way, curl the ends with big  curling tongs to make a more natural curl.

The key aspect to getting this look right is the colours, you will never see her wearing bright  colours! Layering is also important. But most importantly, be bold!

Here are three outfits I have put together.

Knee highs. Thigh highs. They're a must have for this Autumn and are making their way through our high street shops. You can wear them with almost everything, and look great with dresses. They originally became popular in the 1960's and 1970's with the mini-skirt, then becoming associated with school uniforms and they are now a fashion item. Knee highs offer a versatility with an outfit. For example, if you want to wear a pretty dress but don't want to look too girly, knee highs add that bit of rebelliousness to your outfit. They also make PERFECT festival wear (bit late) as they are great with shorts, and look wicked with wellies!

Topshop offer a massive range of them in various styles, colours and lengths, and I'm sure you can find the perfect ones for you. Here are just a few of they're, but do have a look and be a shade braver! I love them!!

Grey Trim - £7.00

Burgendy - £6.00

Black Lace - £6.00

When living in England, or anywhere in the UK, you must own a pair of wellies. They are essential due to our poor weather. When I was younger I remember having wellies purely for the purpose of being able to splash is puddles, but now they have become a lot more than that. They are worn endlessly at festivals, in the snow and of course in the rain. They have also become a bit of a fashion statement. Do you go for traditional green, or do you go for bright and vibrant? Many go for both. You can get wellies everywhere! From cheap Primark to expensive Hunter.

Green Hunter - £79.00

Topshop - £26.00

Joules - £34.99 (from Welly Warehouse)

Pink Hunter - £79.00

Which is your favourite? I have a yellow pair from Laura Ashley with small flowers dotted on them. What's your wellie style?

Blake Lively has again made every women and girl exceedingly jealous. She has once again flawlessly stolen the show in the beautiful ensemble. The relaxed maxi skirt is brightened up with the vibrant red and the cute cut off denim jacket, but still kept simple with the white tank top and sandals.

I have put together a cheaper version just to make this outfit that more lovable.

Maxi Skirt - £40.00 Topshop

Vest - £12.00 Asos.com

Denim Jacket - £35.00 Topshop

Sandals - £10.50 Forever21.com

Chain Necklace - £12.50 Topshop

Mila Kunis looked beautiful at the Russian premier of her new film, Friends with Benefits. With her ballet-inspired Elie Saab dress, and with Justin Timberlake as arm candy she was bound to look like a star. Her messy up-do is spiced up with a little hair piece.

Traveling doesn't have to be ugly, grubby and the most regretted part of going on holiday. Traveling does, admittedly, tend to be the worse part of going on holiday. You sit around in your comfy clothes with one massive suitcase trying to stay awake, but this doesn't have to be the case.

Jimmy Choo have released the Ultimate Luggage Collection which consists of many cases and bags to satisfy everyones taste. They have everything from classic white and black, to daring prints and colours. I have put of few of them together to show everyone that traveling can be stylish even if you don't feel it.

Look like first class with white:

If your one of those girls (or guys) that love to go swimming, but are blonde and prone to your hair going green after a couple of hours of pool time, well I know exactly how you feel! Green isn't the most attractive and popular hair colour out there, but when you are prone to this 'greenness' the most you can do to prevent this is to be forced into wearing swimming caps or just generally just stay away from the pool. But here are a few home remedies to help you get rid of the green tinting in your blonde hair, or someone else's. I recommend trying them all and seeing which one is easier and more affective for you.

(Make sure you test an area of your skin to make sure your not allergic.)

Aspirin:

Yes aspirin is normally a pain relief, but believe it or not it gets rid of the green tint! Just place three ordinary aspirins in a glass of warm water and allow them to dissolve. Soak the hair in the aspirin water for around 15 minutes then rinse out (the green should come along with it), then wash and condition as usual.

Tomato Juice:

Yes you've got that right. Tomato juice. It is said to remove the green tint leaving it shiny and manageable. Apparently the acid helps remove the colouring. All you need is about 8 ounces (227 grams) of  tomato juice in a plastic cup and take into the shower, (Don't worry, you don't need to spend ages squeezing tomato, you can buy it in cartons in supermarkets). Before washing, soak the hair in the juice and leave it in the hair for a few minutes. Thoroughly rinse out then wash and condition as usual.

Lemon Juice:

This works in almost the same way as the tomato. The citric acid helps remove hard metal stains and the unwanted green tint. Simply soak the hair in lemon juice, leave for a while to set then rinse out, and wash and condition as usual.

Baking of Soda:

This is a wonderful product and is used for many cleaning and beauty purposes. Simply make a paste with shampoo and the baking soda, and apply t your hair. Leave it on your hair for several minutes and then thoroughly rinse out. Shampoo and condition as usual.

Hope this helps my fellow blondes with their green tints!

At the previous event of the Glamour Awards: Women of the year many women turned heads with they're beautiful dresses and gleaming smiles. Although some looked surprisingly better than the others, they all looked beautiful. Here are a few of my favorite.

Fearne Cotton picked up Radio DJ of the year in this stunning yellow Miu Miu dress. Her short blonde waves, block coloured dress and simple make-up give a lovely summer feel, and her black clutch is perfect.

Kristen Stewart dressed up in a strapless Balmain number. The nude coloured dress and the green/brown shoes complement each other perfectly. She looks beautiful, although I do wish she would smile and not look so awkward...

Ellie Goulding scooped up the Pandora Newcomer of the Year is this lovely monochrome mesh design by Jonathan Saunders. The three layers are wicked and the netting at the top adds a modern twist to a simple classic monochrome design.

Hi everyone, there seems to be a problem with my facebook page. One of my like boxes seems to not be how it used to be, and on my page there is none of my past updates, I'm not sure if this is just my account or whether I need to do something to fix it. I would be very grateful if you could tell me if you have found the same problem. Thank you :))
