Cheryl Cole's Premier Shoe Collection

So today after much publicity, Cheryl Cole's capsule shoe collection was debuted on StylistPick.co.uk. As I mentioned in an earlier post, Stylist Pick is one of these recent tailored picked wardrobe websites, which offer you a small range of products based on questioned answered. I have always admired Stylist Picks range for myself, and if I had the money I would buy from them regularly.

 However my impressions of Cheryl Cole's contribution to Stylist Picks collection is not one of awe. In my honest opinion I would not buy any of her designs, and think they look cheap, I definitely would not pay £79.99 for a pair. I think Cheryl Cole is a beautiful women, and she looks good in clothes, but I believe this to be the work of her stylist and not from personal choices. So overall I was a little disappointed, especially at the huge increase in price from their normal price (£39.99) to nearly £80 for the privilege of Cheryl Cole designing your shoes.

What is your opinion? Would you pay the price just to say they are designed by Cheryl Cole?

Girls night out| Birthday Fun


On Monday night it was my best friends birthday. We had an amazing night partying in Newcastle, and we were treated to too many bottles of fizz (not that I'm complaining). The next days hangover was not good, but totally worth it. I thought I would post a few pictures of what me and the girls were wearing.

This weeks buys and loves

Dress I was going to buy,
Miss Seflridge £65
I went shopping with my girls on Monday night to the Metro Centre. We shopped till we dropped and got kicked out at 10pm as all the shops were closing.

I did not have a lot of money, so I there was more window shopping than actual shopping from me. I did however treat myself with a bargain in Miss Selfridge. I got a lovely dress in the sale reduced from £32 to £17, and with my student discount on top of it I only paid £15.

 I did originally go to try on a dress I was majorly in love with on the website, however after trying it on I found it wasn't very flattering and changed my mind.
My £15 pound Miss Selfridge Dress,
Worn with a black leather belt (H&M), and black tights.
Miss Selfridge £26 


My friend bought this lovely skirt from Miss Selfridge also. We both plan on wearing them for our friends 23rd birthday on Monday night. I will post pictures of us both later.






Other items I found when shopping, that I fell in love with are;

Miss Selfridge £49
Miss Selfridge £45
Topshop £26
Topshop £10










Miss Sefridge £39
Topshop £12 
Miss Selfridge £90

First Review| Rimmel Scandal Eyes Mascara


 My first review, is on my beauty must, at all times, mascara! Mascara is the one product I would not leave the house without, I feel like I'm naked without it. As a result I go through a lot of mascara, and I am quite picky and opinionated.

So this mascara is Rimmel Scandaleyes. It is one of their recent releases, and this is my second tube,
so as you can see I don't find it too bad. I will talk you through the pro's and con's.

Pro's
  • Does not smudge or wear off during the day (I work in hospitality, so I am around a lot of heat, steam, moisture etc, and it rarely wears off and give me panda eyes.)
  • Builds up very easily, so can apply many layer easily without it flaking.
  • Gives the look of very long lashes.
    Con's
    • Very Very large brush, so can be a bit difficult to handle to begin with.
    • Dries up quickly compared to other mascaras.
    Overall I would give it a 7/ 10, mainly because it takes some getting used to the large brush. Have you ever tried this mascara? What do you think of it?
