♡ STYLE PICKS: THE OSCARS 2016 ♡

Monday 29 February 2016

Last night the most important event in Hollywood took place, and to sum it up Mad Max won everything and Leonardo DiCaprio finally won his first long overdue Oscar. Other winners from the night included Alicia Vikander for Best Supporting Actress in The Danish Girl and Brie Larson took the Best Actress award for her role in Room. Both were well deserved and if you haven't seen their respective movies you should get on it now.

Before I get onto my favourite looks from the night, I just want to address the comment presenter Chris Rock made last night about "Ask Them More". For those of you who didn't see the show, Chris went on to talk about (in a very humorous manner) why it isn't a sexist thing to ask women what they're wearing on the red carpet, simply because men all wear the same damn thing and it would be a very boring conversation for everyone involved unless Robert De Niro showed up in a flamingo suit.



♡ FEBRUARY BEAUTY BUYS ♡

Sunday 28 February 2016

Wow this month has flown by, can't believe we're 2 days away from March! Which is going to be a very busy but fun month for me. On to what you came to this post for, these are some of my favourite beauty purchases from this month.


♡ MY FEBRUARY MOVIE PICKS ♡

Saturday 27 February 2016

February is an important month in the Hollywood world - The Grammy's, BAFTAs and of course The Oscar's. It's a great time to hit the cinema and there's definitely been a lot to choose from this last couple of weeks. I'd actually had a look at the nominees for these awards and I'm in the process of trying to watch them all (the ones that interest me anyway) and these have been some of my favourites this month. Note some of these have been nominated for well, nothing. 



LDN: MY SPEED DATING EXPERIENCE

Friday 26 February 2016

About two weeks ago now, I was kindly invited by Robert from Date In A Dash to come along to one of their speed dating events with my friend Claire. I had been keen on trying this since my housemate goes to them all the time and meets a ton of people, and if not as romantic partner's she's gained a few good friends out of it. So we decided to take the plunge and step out of the Tinder "online" world and go meet some singles in London (with the help of some free shots and drinking games). Read all about it below!


STYLE PICKS: THE BRIT AWARDS 2016

Thursday 25 February 2016

Seeing as most of my readers come from the UK, you probably spent last night tuning in to The Brits and seeing Adele take, basically everything as per. On the red carpet, it seems like celebrities are always a hit or miss when it comes to fashion, and there were definitely a lot of misses this year (did Geri Halliwell pick up that cheetah print dress from Primark on the way to the O2?) On another note, there were some artists who were dressed to the 9's for the event, take a look at my favourite picks below.


10 THINGS I'D GO BACK AND TELL MY TEENAGE SELF.

Tuesday 16 February 2016

Okay, so this post is already sounding a bit too deep for me, considering I'm still 21 and only have one grey hair. I stumbled across my MySpace yesterday (along with a bunch of photos of myself when I thought wearing shocking purple tights was acceptable) and it got me thinking about the past and all that nostalgic shit. Not only is this a post about advice I'd give my 16-17 year old self (those were the wild years) but things I'd like my younger sister and all you other contoured teens to keep in mind.

♡ 20 FICTIONAL BOYFRIENDS TO SPEND YOUR VALENTINE'S DAY WITH ♡

Sunday 14 February 2016

Flashback to last Valentine's Day - I spent it with my girls (and a dog) watching 50 Shades of Grey in the cinema, very romantic. This year I will probably be doing the same thing and spending it with my one true love pizza. Incase you're in need of a little bit of inspiration on who to cuddle up next to on your laptop screen - why not check out these guys, they're probably better than your real boyfriends anyway.

♡ 20 PLACES YOU CAN MEET THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE ♡

Saturday 13 February 2016

Something my friends and I have been discussing lately is where do relationships form nowadays in the real world? I have several friends who have luckily met their partners through dating websites and apps but that begs the question if the old fashioned way of meeting people has been lost. So for those of you who have been single for quite some time and are not quite comfortable with setting up a dating profile and going on a series of awkward dates - you still have all these options!


10 REASONS WHY BEING SINGLE IS AWESOME

Monday 8 February 2016

It's that time of the year that wherever you turn, there'll be cuddly bears, heart shaped chocolates or flower bouquets being sold to you, it's almost like a constant reminder telling you "HEY! You're single and no one will be buying you these things!" Shouldn't there also be a day to celebrate being by yourself and happy? I mean there is plenty to celebrate about.....



♡ JANUARY BEAUTY BUYS ♡

Tuesday 2 February 2016

So I stopped doing these half way through last year, but thought I'd pick up on them again! Even though some months I'll be a broke ass b**** so you'll just be seeing products from boots on here, but seeing as January meant sales...I couldn't resist picking up a few deals. Some of these were bought by myself and others were given to me by certain companies - but they'll all include my honest opinion - enjoy! 


♡ 10 FUN DATE IDEAS FOR VALENTINE'S DAY ♡

Monday 1 February 2016

February only means one thing, Deadpool. Well if you're all loved up, then it will probably be Valentine's Day.

If you're running short on ideas and looking for some inspiration, look no further! Singletons don't worry, i'll be catering to your needs further in the week!
