Disco in Pants!

Disco pants are the trouser of the moment! They were bang on trend back when Sandy in Grease graced our screens and they are most definitely back with a bang now. These high shine, stupidly tight trousers have been flying off American Apparels shelves for quite some time now. Jessie J has flaunted her ridiculously endless legs in numerous colours and all manner of other celebrities are squeezing themselves into these super tight trousers!

This is a trend that I'm still not sure of though, you need to tick a few boxes in order to pull this look off. For a start you preferably need to be under 25, long legged, lean and require a decent looking bum to pull these off. Liz Jones (the Daily Mail's eccentric columnist) has written an article today asking the nation 'Are you brave enough to pull them off?'.

Well Liz the answer from me is a no! It took me a while to latch on to the legging/jegging craze due to the fact that my calves resemble that of Henry VIII - I blame years of ballet lessons when I was younger! And as I already own a pair of high shine leggings (or bin bags as the other half calls them) I think that these will have to suffice.

At £70 these must have trousers seem a bit steep, get yourself on Ebay as there are loads of duplicates out there. Very is rocking these in 3 lovely colours at the moment.. and a snip at £35 - http://www.very.co.uk/e/q/high-shine-trouser.end?cmtag=o&_requestid=252737

Do you like these trousers? Own a pair? Not a fan?

Zara Shoes..

I can not gush enough about Zara's collection of shoes. Strangely I've never purchased a pair in store, but before I went away with my partner I looked online and fell completely in love with an orange, nude and black sandal. This shoe is now sold out online. More recently I purchased a pair of nude and black heels which was an absolute bargain in their sale, and still available in a few sizes. I must stress their sale has to be looked at, lots of decent items still available. Check it out at www.zara.com

Zara shoes are a really good quality, despite what I put them through on a night out they always hold out on me. They are a reasonably comfortable fit and feel very sturdy and the pairs I own have a real good shape to them, making my little legs look good. Yay!

Here are some other pairs that are not in the sale but are totally worth a purchase. I want all 3! Now please!

If you've not had a look through their site then I urge you to do so. You won't be disappointed!

Join the Garnier Ultralift Challenge!!

So after seeing an advert on TV for Garnier's new Ultralift Challenge, I thought sod it I'm going to get involved. I'm nearing the dreaded 30 and if I'm being totally honest I'm slowly accepting that things are starting to sag.

Basically you sign up and Garnier send you 14 sachets of Ultralift Cream. They hope you 'feel and see the difference in 2 weeks!'. I'm sure customers do too! The funny thing about this challenge is that you get a 'Wrinkle Reader' to compare your crows feet against and then after the 14 days use it to assess any improvements. Well... my wrinkles are flipping non existent if this reader is anything to go by. I think this challenge is possibly aimed at the more maturer woman, but hey, I'm doing the challenge anyway!

Have you tried it? Give it a go at http://www.garnier.co.uk/_en/_gb/ultralift/challenge/index.aspx

Let me know how you find it. I'll be keeping you posted in 14 days.

Jameela Jamil at Very...

The stunningly beautiful Blossom-esque Jameela Jamil has launched a clothing collection at Very. Now there are quite a few celebs doing this at the moment, Very seems to be snapping up all sorts of lovelies to boost their clientele. Fearne Cotton, Holly Willo-booby, Diana Vickers, Coleen Rooney to name a few are all on their 'Exclusive Brands' list.

Most of this stuff always seems to be a high street look for a much higher price-tag. However I did take a look at Jameela's collection and I liked what I saw. It ranges from casual, slouchy cardigans and tees to elegant dresses and blouses. Jameela states 'I’ve designed a collection of quirky glamour for every winter wardrobe. I wanted to make a collection that women would feel beautiful in – only boring women don’t get fat in the winter!’. True dat!! Check these pictures of Jameela at the launch. Absolutely stunning!

There was one piece that caught my eye, this stunning red puff shoulder shirt. I absolutely love it and for £35 it really isn't that bad a buy. I love that you can wear this with almost anything.. jeans, high waisted skirt, waistcoat or under a dress.

Love, love, love...

Have you seen the collection? Yay or Nay?

Crazy for Camo!

I've always been a lover of anything green. Camo green is obviously no different and I'm massively into it at the moment. You can dress a cute jacket up or down and I love the mixture of all those different shades of colour. I prefer the jackets a little baggy with the sleeves rolled up for that casual look that I tend to exude all day every day!

I'm trying to hold out and find a bargain on EBay, I'm hoping to customize it with a few studs. However there are some great buys at Topshop, Ragged Priest and Urban Outfitters. (Pictures in that order...)

What jacket do you prefer? Are you loving camo?

Olsen Twins at Stylistpick...

My blog has taken a serious back seat recently. I hate not being more on top of things, more committed to my hobbies instead of being a lazy bum when I have some free time. Life seems to be going way too fast at the moment.. My maternity leave is nearly up, my return to work is literally round the corner, exciting (and even more tiring) times ahead!

So the gorgeous and ever so stylish Olsen twins launched a clothing range for Stylemint in the US a few months back, and now thanks to Stylistpick (the same site that Cheryl Cole launched her shoe range), us Brits now have the pleasure of getting involved in the new collection. It's simple, slouchy, jersey styles that the twins love and it is a more affordable range than their high-end collection The Row.

Grazia, Vogue and the Daily Mail called the collection ‘gorgeous’ ‘stylish’ and ‘amazingly versatile’ and I have to agree. It's simple but stylish and very reasonably priced. Emma Roberts and Rachel Bilson are fans and so am I!

I purchased three items (for the moment), a simple grey and white tee, a white and red polka top and a dip hem grey skirt. I also took advantage of a 20% off promotion that Stylistpick was running at the time so I ended up with a bit of a bargain haul.

I definitely recommend you checking the range out whilst it's in stock - http://www.stylistpick.com/clothing - There are 25 pieces in total so plenty to catch your eye!

What do you think of the collection? Too simple? Just right? Purchased anything?

Fudge it up!

I can't believe it's been over a month since I last wrote a post for my blog. I must admit that severe laziness set in when we were having our very short spell of nice weather and as a result my lovely blog got put on the back burner. I've now had my much anticipated weekend away and as I'm feeling refreshed (kind of) I'm getting back on this blog business!

Obviously I've been buying bits during my month off blogging and I'll be sharing these purchases with you in future blog posts, so stay tuned. I wanted to share a fantastic hair product that I've discovered recently in today's post. I appreciate this product isn't for everyone but I'm a serious fan. I have thick (and I mean really thick) naturally wavy hair and I have zero time to do anything with it most days.

This Salt Spray from Fudge is perfect for me. They recommend that you use the product on damp hair and spritz on at the roots and work through your hair. I do this every now and then, but seeing as my hair is a nightmare to dry at the best of times, the less I wash it the better. So I simply brush my day old hair through in the morning, spray this through my hair lightly and scrunch at the ends. The classic Pina-Colada smell that Fudge products have really freshen your hair up. Job done!

Minimal effort, boho just-got-out-of-bed look achieved! You like? You used this or any other salt-sprays? Thoughts?
