If you like it...buy it in every colour



So, primark have recently stocked THE summer shoes and for £8.00! Topshop have stocked pretty much the same shoe for 3 x the price so it's worth the hunt.



Here's the close up...


I think the black look great with leggings and the white will be perfect for summer adding some grunge to floaty tea dresses.

Yellow and Afternoon Tea

I recently engaged in gauging myself with cakes and other naughty things during an Afternoon Tea. To me, Afternoon Tea seems so lavish and it was the best I had had at Lillie Langtrys in Bournemouth.

There is quite a lot of history in the place. It was built for Miss Langtry, an actress who seemed to capture the heart of every man she met, including the Prince of Wales. Quite the minx! A member of staff also took us around the manor, giving us all the history and played photographer for my family and I. What a gentleman!

There was so much food and it was £25 for two, you can book here...http://www.langtrymanor.co.uk.






I wore my new yellow jumper from Zara and I am in love with it. Yellow is of course one of this seasons colours but its also so lightweight its perfect for Spring and the Summers evenings at the beach I am planning.












The Naked Palette for under £6!

We all know and love the cult product the Naked Palette by Urban Decay. I have the first palette and use it religiously. But when I heard that you can get dupes for around an 1/8th of the original price, I was intrigued.

These palettes are available from the site TMart (http://www.tmart.com/12-Colors-Earth-Tone-Eyeshadow-Makeup-Palette_p198359.html). It takes a while to ship but for £5.17, it was worth the wait. I picked the Naked 3 palette, the first is also available.

I also picked up one of the beauty blenders, again at a fraction of the price, and I like the results!




So, when my package arrived, my first concern was the fact that there was no bubble wrap around it, it was simply in a bag! The need for concern was confirmed when I opened up my palette to find that one of the colours had completely smashed, (the colour Dust, how ironic?) and a few of the others were cracked too. It was a mess.

As for the colour pay off, they are the same as that you would get in the actual Urban Decay Palette. Quite a saving there...(if it isn't broken that is).

Waga's and Wine

Friday evenings are all about going out for dinner, at least that is the opinion of my friend and E. She works in events management and has recently got back from an event in Austria where Kasabian played a private gig...in an igloo...at the top of a mountain. So, this Friday we took ourselves down to Wagamuma's for some Japanese delights, and a catch-up. Now, before I go into this, I am a massive fan of Waga's. So much that this was a birthday present from my sister's boyfriend.



Its quick and easy, good food and although some people think the seating arrangement is intrusive, listening to other peoples conversations can be interesting.

Come on...we are all a bit nosey.

The menu intrigued us more than usual this Saturday for this reason.



And this is what a Tea Stained Egg is...literally a Tea Stained Egg, it tasted of nothing. But even our waiter was intrigued.



I had the Chu Chee Curry, a dish I was mortified they took off of the menu last year, due to the rise in the price of coconut milk apparently. However, I am afraid to report that it just isn't the same, not quite sure what the change is, but it just doesn't tickle my tastebuds like it used to.



Now after saying Friday's are all about eating out...they are also about wine...so we took ourselves along to 60 Million Postcards, it's student territory in my opinion, but its quirky instead of dirty.



Outfit of the evening...





Topshop Dress
Blue Rinse Jacket (Urban Outfitters stocks)
MissGuided Boots
