Is French out?

Hi Lovelies,

Like any girly girl, I love LOVE nail varnish.
It would be rare sight to see me with out nail varnish even if I support the chipped look.


As beautiful as the French manicure look is, I think its overdone. You really do see it everywhere, and at this stage it is almost expected that for any ALL occasions to have a French manicure.


As of late I bought two new nail varnishes...at the moment I am on the quest to find the perfect blue, but, that is a different post for a different time.

I was really excited to try the nude colour I bought from Catrice Cosmetics. Not that it was a nude colour but that it  was a 'ULTI MATE NUDES' oh yes I had to try it. I purchased the not quite but almost baby pink shade '010 Dance Like A Prima Ballerina'. 

At first I was not impressed, with one coat...it look a bit odd, i don't think you could go around with just one coat, even if they say you can.


With the second/third coat, it looked 100 times better and just so so pretty and delicate.

Overall, I think 'Dance Like A Prima Ballerina' has the elegance of the French Manicure  but none of the hassle. I do think if you are a bride to be, and, want to edge away form the French Manicure look the nude look really is the way to go.  


What do you think? should French stay or should it go?

The Wedding and Honeymoon show 2011

Hello lovelies, 
I would first like to say, I am so sorry not blogging in such a long time. Things have been mad with starting college, moving house and freshers week. I wrote this post a long time ago but haven't had time to take photos till now.  


Oh the amount of events I have gone to at the RDS, t'is quite a few.
To brake up my scarily busy weekend I decided that I would go to The Wedding and Honeymoon show in the RDS.

Even thought the wedding is such a long way off I couldn't help but go. I thought I would come out with loads of ideas and a better sense of what I wanted. A few friends of mine said that their relatives got good ideas for their own weddings. 

Look at that Queue!

I was genuinely surprised at the amount of people who where their. I did not expect to see that many brides to be. I was one of the lucky ones to pick up a bridal magazine so I will be oohing and awing over this for the next while.


Their where two things I wanted to get more information on.
1. Invites/save the date
2. Marquees


I didn't get much information. A lot of the people at the stands I felt where rude and unhelpful. They asked questions that they had no interest in hearing the answer and contradicted themselves on important points of information. 


Compared to many other RDS shows everything was all over the place. Groups of stands that you would expect to see next to each other where not. In fact I am pretty sure I only saw one stand for honeymoons which kinda defeats the purpose of a wedding and honeymoon show.

Over all I was not very impressed. I didn't get what I wanted to get out of the whole experience.  I felt it was a bit of a waist of time bar the cake samples which where divine! 


Did anyone go to the show this year? Was it like this last year?  Did you experience the same or did you have a better experience? 

I've got a very important date...

O.K so this is a very VERY important post. 

Two things, we have decided to go the bogger route and the DATE has been booked.

I emailed the priest last Friday with the date and having the vows in English.  Now you probably are thinking why did you not just call. I was scared that he would say no and scared that I would not be able to convey to him what I wanted the same way as I would in English. The relief I felt when he called and said YES was huge and yes I did dance around the living room in my pajamas and jumped on the bed to tell Paul the news. 

The all important date is

13/09/2013

It seams so far away but I know its just going to fly by.
