Battle of the Bad-ish Boys

Posted in Beauty, Boy Crush, Celeb, date night, fun, To Do, Uncategorized by

A little bit of fun, albeit some serious questions here guys… It’s the battle of the supernatural bad boys and/or fighters.

So here it goes…
Let’s start with the original, and the best…

Buffy

Angel, Spike, Riley

Although he sports an Eminem-esq hair do throughout each season, he’s pretty mean, and oh yeh – he’s a vampire, I still have to pick Spike as my fave, I loved him and Buffy together. Yes I know I’m a geek!

Supernatural

I’m only on series two of this one (no spoilers), so I’m excited to see how these boys grow into there already amazingly yummy looks!

Dean

But sorry it’s just rude to pick between brothers!

True Blood

Bill, Eric, Alcide

Another newbie to this, I literally only started, and finished, this one last December, but I’m definitely a fan! I wanted Sookie to be with all three of them at some point or another, no not all at once! Although I swiftly went off Bill – grrr!

Understandably Alcide is my favourite of favourites, first of all I love a boy in a plaid shirt, second of all, he looks like this underneath one…GASP!!!

Come on sneak a peak! And let me know which evil vampire, good vampire, vampire hunter, or werewolf you’d let stick around!

Just a little something pretty to look at, whilst I’m on the crazy work train at the moment!

Stick with me please : )

Vegas Baby…

Posted in Uncategorized by

So I’ve been designated the role of organiser in booking a trip to Vegas, tough times I know.

The problem lies in that, honestly, I think there simply may be just too much choice. So I thought I’d ask you for some help :)

Here’s the brief;
Accommodation for 6
A fancy pants hotel
A good pool, and by good I mean amazing!

What I need help with is basically knowing which hotels are good to stay in, and which are a little bit shabby.

Which ones have fabulous pools, and generally anything else I may need!

How to come back with enough winnings to pay for the whole trip would also be appreciated!

Also any sites that do good deals in terms of helicopter rides, shows and all that other fun stuff!

Wednesday Wishlist – On a Friday!

Posted in calm, Candle, Decor, Fab, Gold, H&M, happy, Home, Peace, Shopping, Wednesday, Wish List by

I know I know, I’ve been rubbish, to make it up to you I have put together this lush list of candles that I’m thinking about forgoing food for…

Candles1. The White Company Geranium Candle £26.00 I love the white on white design here!

2. Amara Jonathan Adler Peace Studded Candle £125.00 – Wow oh WOW! I need this in my life, tacky – oh yeh, but so cool! But at that price, again wow oh WOW!!

3. H&M Candle Collection £3.99 – A fab range in lots of colours at a great price!

4. Diptique £40.00 I still can’t believe I haven’t bought one of these coveted babies yet, however, I can’t decide if the scents are too strong for me, I also can’t decide which one I like best!

5. Jo Malone Grapefruit Candle £39.00 – Another one that thus far has escaped my grasp, although admittedly I don’t think I have ever even sniffed one ; o GASP!

6. Marks and Spencer Large Coconut Candle £12.00 – Coconut, enough said – yummy!

Too pricey? Primark have some gorgeous Vanilla and Coconut ones which I’ve been loving recently – so  much so that I’ve picked up the glass jar one, two pillar ones, the tea lights, and the diffuser! They just smell so yummy, and are actually the most scented candles – without being headachey – that I have ever come across, I will definitely be stocking up on these bad boys! And at £2 a pop – complete bargain!!

What are your fave scents and brands of candles?

Oscars 2014

So awards season is officially over, sad times! Here are my picks of the 86th Oscars…

Just click on the picture to make it larger.

However, I think these fab ladies win hands down for the accolade of BEST DRESSED, not only for this years Oscars, but for the entire awards season! For both gals I literally gasped, and WOWED, oohhhed and ahhhed. They both just look so so stunning…

Kelly-Osbourne-and-Kate-Hudson-Oscars-2014

Kelly Osbourne wore a Badgley Mischka dress, whilst Kate Hudson draped herself in Alteir Versace.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!

I think it’s become clear, not only through this post but my other award posts, that I am partial to a creamy, goldy, embroidered gown; why not remind yourself of all my other best dressed celebs …

Emmys, Golden Globes, SAG Awards, Grammys, BAFTA’s!

The Boys

Jared-Leto-Oscars-2014

Jared Leto aka ‘Best Supporting Actor for Dallas Buyers Club’, wore Saint Laurent, I especially loved his spangly buttons!

An Afterthought…

My initial feeling to Cate Blanchett’s dress was “it’s pretty, but I’ve seen better”. However, after watching some highlights (the actual show was 1:30-4:00am on a Sunday night – not sure my boss would have been happy with me Monday morning) and seeing Ryan Seacrest chatting with her, I decided that actually she looked absolutely gorgeous. I think this is enhanced through the fact that she simply oozes loveliness – she just seems so kind and genuine! But also her skin, (oh my!) and her hair, she literally shines, and because she’s made my picks in each award post I couldn’t not include her here, I think she’s worthy ; )
