Penneys nail varnish review

Hi dolls.

I just began buying nail varnish again. God knows why I never really bought it. You can be so creative with it. 

The one I bought is limited collection from Penneys. There are three nail varnishes in a box. The colours i chose are lilac she'll, pink ice and pink shine.

The pink shine and lilac shell are great colours for a base colour for the day time and then if you want to make your outfit sparkle for night time, you can add the pink ice. That is the colour in the picture below in the middle.

It also drys quickly, within one minute or less and you can add it to any outfit. Especially black, white and pink. The sparkles brighten any outfit up.

I love it and it only cost €4 for the whole set, so go and get it before it sells out girlies.

These are the reasons why I love it but let me know what you think.

Until next time...

Penneys Haul

Hi there dolls,

I know it's been a while, but I am a college girl after all. Have to hit those books.

Anyway, the weather here has been A-MAZ-ING... which prompted me to go shopping for my holiday clothes (in between writing thesis, essays and studying for exams :-( ).

I went on a big haul in Penneys (and some other high street shops), and this is what I bought.

Penney buys

High waisted shorts, €11

I bought these high waisted denim shorts because they look great with anything. A t-shirt, a tank top or a flowy top for evening time wear. It it perfect for holidays because sandals look great with them. 

Short shorts, €10

 

I LOVE these shorts because they're so vibrant and soooo BLUE!!! I love a pop of colour. Especially in the sunshine and with a bikini which is the only time I would wear these because they are very short shorts.

Playsuit, €11

This colour is a tad dark, but when you match it with white sandals, a bright bag and sunnies, it will brighten up the playsuit. Or if you wanted it for evening wear, just add some gold jewelry and you'll have a great evening outfit.

denim playsuit, €11

I bought this denim playsuit the other day and I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. It cost €11 and it's so light. It is definitely more of a day outfit combined with sunnies, a bag and sandals. Definitely one of my best buys.

Playsuit, €11

This is another day time wear. It's patterned and I Love patterned things. Especially  because you don't have to put anything with it. It's perfect by itself. This one is also very very comfy. Perfect material for hot weather.

maxi dress, €15

This printed maxi dress was one of my best buys. I got it for €15 and I usually like to wear it in the evening time because it's kind of hard to move around in when you're walking long lengths on holidays. Add some jewelry to it, gold or silver would work and add sandals to the mix. You have got yourself a comfy, light and stylish evening attire.

maxi dress, €15

This is my favourite maxi dress and again only for evening attire because of the material. The material is a bit heavier than the maxi dress above, but still light. Evening suits it perfectly because you will not swelter in it. You could add wooden or gold bangles and head wear to this and you have yourself an elegant evening dinner outfit.

tank tops, €1.90 each

I am constantly buying these because they are so handy to have on under a jumper or a flowy top. They also go with everything; jeans, skirts, shorts. You name it. They cost me €1.90 each and they have various colours. Well worth a buy.

Slogan t-shirt, €4

When I saw this, I just had to buy it. I am a Paris fanatic (as well as New York and London), so I knew it when I saw it that it had to be bought. Slogan t-shirts are always a good buy, especially if they're flirty like this one.

dotted top, €4

I love this top because it's flowy, so if you over indulge, no one can see your belly. I wear it on nights out over hear during the summer and usually tuck it into my jeans, skirt, etc and add a leather jacket to it. This would go well with the high waisted shorts above. It is a multi-functional top which can be worn as day time or evening time wear.

Pj's 

My NIGHTTIME WEAR. How cute are these. I bought the pajamas on the right hand side from Penneys at a bargain of €7 for the shorts and the tank top. How cute are they?!

I bought the pajamas on the left in forever 21 in New York. They are super cute and again my Parisian fashion fanatism is coming through. They were a bit more expensive at €10, but are super comfy.

Bikini, €8

I was searching fora really nice bikini because I'm going on holidays to Greece this summer. So I wanted something that looked good in the sun. I loved the pattern on this and the twist at the front. The top can be worn as a boob tub or it has a halterneck top if that would make you feel better. I prefer the boob tub because it gives you less tan lines.

Sailor bikini, €8

I loved the look of this because I think it looks classy and kind of sailor like. It has gold baubles between the "boob holders", the strings to tie around the back and on the bottoms on the sides. Love the stripes too. The small gold baubles and the stripes definitely remind me of a sailor. Don't as me why haha.

Vibrant bikini, €7

I love this little number too. It has a cool pattern. The colours go really well together and it's such vibrant colours tha make it feel holiday like. One of my favourite next to the sailor bikini.

Espana bikini, €8

Now I'm not going to bring this bikini on holidays to Greece with me, but how cool is this bikini??!! Espana is the part that goes on your behind. How kinky? hehe. It is really handy though because both the top and the bottom have string so you can tighten or loosen them. A really good buy.

Globe bikini, €8

When I saw this bikini, I thought it was the qwerkiest bikini I had seen in penneys. It has the globe on it!! How cool is that??!! Definitely bringing this on holiday and it suits every country you go to.

That was my Penneys haul. I hope you liked it. I bought a LOT of bikini's but it just means I have one for each day haha. 

I hope you like it and will be inspired to go on a Penneys haul.

Until next time...

Au revoir

Afternoon tea outfit, darlings

So it's the month of January and everybody is depressed because Christmas is over.

Well, not me... because January is my BIRTHDAY MONTH!!! :D

I kicked it off with a big bang on Sunday the 18th of January,

It was afternoon teas hosted by my grand mama (I don't actually call her that) an this is what I wore for the special occasion.

Palazzo Pants €12 on sale, New Look

I wanted to wear something different yet fashionable, so I saw these on sale in New Look. They cost €12 and I wear them to special occasions and once to a 21st. Best 21st ever. They are so comfortable as well. I love the pattern on them. It makes them stand out. They also look good with flat shoes or high heels. Both of these can be seen in my previous blogs "Dressy casual night look". 

Peach/light pink blazer €12, New Look

When I saw this blazer in New Look I just had to have it. I love colours and needed something for a night out. It cost €12, same as the palazzo pants above. This was on sale also. You can wear it with leather looking jeans, the pants above, jeans if going to lunch with girlfriends and anything you can think of. 

Clutch bag, New Look

I got this bag as a present from one of my friends at Christmas time so I don't know how much it cost, but I saw it in New Look when I was in there the other day and they also have it in black. You would think it wouldn't go with the colour of the peach/pale pink blazer but it works. Especially because the bottom half of my outfit was a dark colour.

I wore a simple white tank top with it which brightens up the outfit in this winters month.

You could also wear some bangles or a long necklace to make the outfit pop with sparkles if you were heading out on the town, but since it was afternoon tea I decided to keep it simple. 

This is my finished outfit:

Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Thanks for reading dolls.

Merci/danke/gracias...

Golden Globes

On Sunday evening the 72nd Golden Globes annual event took place and as always, there was so much beauty and glamour at it.

Here are the nominations by ace courutre for the best dressed by category of colour. 

Who was ace couture's best dressed, male and female? Read on to find out.

Let me know which dress is your ultimate favourite and let me know in the comments below.

Red Hot!!

Taylor Schilling wore a Ralph Lauren which compliments her skintone and body shape.

Heidi Klum wore Nick Verros and look ABSOLUTELY stunning in it for her age. I especially love the one shoulder on this dress. It looks very classic and the hint of glitter at the waist makes it.

Christine Baranski wore Posen. I chose her dress because of the simplicity of it and for her age she can definitely pull this dress off.

Kate Mara wearing Miu Miu. The belt really pulls this dress together and makes it modern.

Jane Fonda wearing a VERY sexy Versace dress. See-thru on one side. Go Jane!

Allison Williams really pulling off a long sequenced dress. Not many people can do this. Made by Armani Prive.

Beauties in Black 

Amal Clooney looking elegant in Dior. 

Jennifer Aniston pulling it off as always in a stunning black Saint Laurent dress. 

Gina Rodriguez in this simple yet very chic black skin tight dress by Badgley Mischka. The lace at the end of the dress makes it look elegant.

Liberty Ross wearing another skin tight dress. What makes this different from Gina Rodriguez's dress is that it has a little train and square on top instead of the sweetheart neckline. 

Frances O' Connor wearing a puffed out dress yet very stylish top of the dress. 

White Angels

Julia Louis-Dreyfus (woman crush) wearing a very simplistic but stunning dress for her figure. Designer is Narciso Rodriguez. 

Emily Blunt wearing Michael Korrs. Love the simple detail of the cross accross the chest. 

Kate Hudson (another woman crush) wearing Atelier Versace and looking STUNNING. Loving the design of the dress. See skin but not too much, therefore classic. 

Salma Hayek wearing Alexander McQueen and this material looks like it might not work well in a dress, but it does and she certainly pulls it off. 

Felicity Huffman pulling off a gorgeous knee length white dress with sexy slits down the side which makes it work for the Golden Globes.

Gorgeous in Green 

Conchita Wurst wearing a fab waistcoat dress. Even though this is a man, he looks fab in this dress. (except for the beard. :P) 

Shaun Robinson looking stunning in a fitted dress with simple detail and the colour compliments her skintone. 

Metallic 

Jennifer Lopez wearing Zurhair Murad and looks absolutely stunning as always. 

Kate Beckinsale in Ellie Sab. Love the sparkle of the top part of the dress and the simplicity of the end. Works well together.

Diane Kruger looking memorizing in this dress by Emilia Wickstead.

Behati Prinsloo wearing a crop top and long skirt, yet it amazingly looks elegant because of the colour and not too sparkly. Designer is Kaufmanfranco.

Jessica Chastain always chooses the best dresses to suit her figure and she has slammed it this year. Definitely one of her best dresses on the red carpet so far. She is wearing Versace. 

Blue Beauties

Amy Adams looking curvelicious in Versace. The colour blue really suits her skintone and hair colour. 

Maria Menounos looking spectacular in this sequenced dark blue dress. 

Katherine Heigl Looking spectaculare and I mean spectacular in this Zac Posen dress. She really wear that dress with sexiness. 

Julia Goldani Telles wears a beautiful royal blue silk dress with an unusual design which works well. Fab! 

Pretties in Pink

Chrissy Teigen wearing Zuhair Murad. Loving the lace. Really compliments her figure. 

Camila Alves pretty in pink wearing Monique Lihuiller. Loving the cropped part of the dress, Makes the dress fab but chic. 

Giuliana Rancic wearing slightly pink gown. The only part I do not like about this is the ruffles. If the dress did not have the ruffles, it would be much nicer. 

Monochrome

Katie Cassidy

Emma Stone going bold but very beautiful this year wearing a jumpsuit by Lanvin.

Quvenzhané Wallis looking adorable in Giorgio Armani. Loving the colour blocking and the belt pulls the dress together.
