<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As many of you know I subscribe to Glossybox & have done for about a year now but I rarely review them. This month I felt like sharing as I was disappointed with the box and wanted to know what everyone else thought.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As the end of February was LFW the box was based around 'city chic' and was very glamorous/girly (like usual but even more so) and all about getting that 'glossy, groomed look city girls miraculously manage to maintain' (from the leaflet).</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I first looked inside I was impressed as it all looked so colour co-ordinated and chic but as I looked at the products in depth I was rather disappointed. The products are as follows:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant</span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">'A tried and tested classic, this is every girl on the go's must-have staple. Created in 1930 by Elizabeth Arden to soothe and protect your skin, Eight Hour Cream was an instant success and has been one of the UK beauty editor's favourite product for the past 7 years! A little goes a long way with this intensive moisturiser, so use it sparingly'.</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Full size: £25 for 50ml</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm not one for heavy moisturisers and this is so so thick and gloopy, and realy weighs down on the skin. It also smells really weird (don't quite know how to describe it haha- it's not nice at all!). It did make my skin feel ulta-soft after using it but I can find the same feeling from a cream half the price and that I would prefer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Rating- 2/5</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Juicy Couture- 'Couture La La'</span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">'Couture La La is a clear tribute to the Juicy Couture woman's layered personality; confident and fearless and at the same time flirty and feminine! Capturing the three main aspects of her personality. Couture La La is feminine with bright florals, daring with bold florals and deminine with sensual woods and musk. Without even trying, the Couture La La girl is always centre of attention- whether its with her innovative viewpoint at a business meeting or her carefree dancing at an impromptu party!'</span></i><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I swear you're going to think all I do is moan on my blog but I don't like this product either haha. It's way too overpowering and musky for a women's scent in my opinion but I have always had a strong disliking to any perfume that isn't floral/delicate (even though in the description is says 'floral' it definitely is not! and you'd certainly have to be 'fearless' to wear this perfume!).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Rating- 0/5</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Nails INC St. James</span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">'St. James- the original aristocratic residential area of London is still home to most of London's best known gentlemen's clubs and a variety of private banks, trusts and upmarket restaurants. Well-dressed brokers, bankers and gallerists populate the streets and ladies who lunch abound. Be like the locals with nails inc's show stopping red named after this upmarket area. A classic, pillar box red, this will add instant glamour to any outfit!'</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Full size: £11 for 10ml</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Normally, I HATE nails inc due to constant peeling/chipping but since trying this nail varnish my perception of the brand has completely changed! St. James is fast drying, is hard to chip and the colour is beautiful. I've been looking for a good quality pillar box red for a long time and even Barry M (my favourite nail brand) can't top this! I would recommend this to anyone.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">TRESemme Salon Finish Extra Hold Hairspray</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">'Tired of creating salon-worthy hair that doesn't last throughout your busy day? So were we, until we discovered TRESemme Salon Finish Hold Hairspray. With a fast drying professional performance formula, this hero hairspray provides all day flexible control with long lasting extra firm hold that is humidity resistant and brushes out with ease. What's not to love?!'</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Full size: £4.69 for 500ml</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As a fan of hairdressing brands such as Bed Head and Wella, I would not rate TRESemme as 'salon-worthy' however this spray does do the job. My hair is very thick and drops as soon as I step outside so I have to apply a lot of hairspray. TRESemme does work but not as well as my Bed Head hairspray (as you'd expect from a price 3x as much). Therefore TRESemme won't be replacing my usual brand but I would recommend it to someone looking for a new product to try out.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I first opened the box, I was disappointed to see a lip pencil in there as I never use them however my opinion has changed as this is the equivalent of a light-weight lipstick. I adore this product and will be using it a lot as it's a perfect day-time alternative to a lipstick. It also stays on longer than any lipstick I've ever had and does not come off on glasses/cutlery as easy. I've also found it doesn't drag like a lipstick because it soaks into the lips like a lipstain rather than sit on top of them. I love love love this product and will be buying again!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So today I've been working on a new page for my lookbook and it's a bit different to my usual style but recently I've been really into this grunge/indie look and I decided to show you what I've come up with. Inspiration is from Tumblr (as per usual). If you don't follow me already <a href="http://www.purpleparchment.tumblr.com/">here's my blog</a>. And if you want to follow me on Instagram there's the icon to the left of this post (click on it to take you to my page), add me on Facebook if you want (Geena Frow) and follow me on Twitter (@geenafrow).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So it's January and just past exam season so I realise we're all tired, worn out and don't feel like dressing up for 6th form! Recently I've been wearing joggers with a baggy tee and some converse, but here's an outfit with a bit more glam with the chunky jewellery. Personally, I love the Egyptian touch from the earrings which is on-trend for S/S13. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm ever so sorry for yet another break but as you all know it's been exam season and I've had 3 A-Level exams to revise for and this week I've been working everyday after school so I have been unable to blog :-( I will do some in school tomorrow and hopefully at the weekend! If any of you do Media AS with OCR, follow my media blog!- www.geenafrowmediaas.blogspot.co.uk I'd love to see what you guys are doing for your coursework :-)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello again everyone,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I thought I'd do a bit of a personal post today which I haven't done in MONTHS! But here we go- my nails. They're acrylic & I did them myself. I was thinking about making a tutorial but I since I'm still learning how to do acrylics they're pretty shocking & I have a different method to most, so I wouldn't want anyone learning from the video! If you're interested in learning how to do acrylics I could a <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PREMIUM-ACRYLIC-NAIL-ART-SET-FULL-POWDER-LIQUID-KIT-777-/170655075989?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Nails_Manicure_Pedicure_CA&hash=item27bbd5ce95">super cheap kit</a> from EBay and it's fantastic for the money and from England so you won't have to wait a long time for delivery or pay import tax :-) If you want a review of it please comment below!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So recently I've joined the 'Blogger Birthdays' calendar which is a cute app on Blogger which shows all birthdays of the bloggers who have joined the app. The majority of the people who have joined it are beauty bloggers so it's worth taking a look to see if there's any cute new blogs to follow :-) it's such a great idea because not only does it get your name out there, people can also wish you a happy birthday by writing on your blog! Here's the link- http://bloggerbirthdays.blogspot.co.uk/</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope you all take a look because it's a worthwhile idea :-) </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hey Guys!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As you may realise from the mood board below, I'm planning on changing my hair. For a while now I've wanted to go blonde and this is the first step towards it- highlights. I'm going to the hairdressers tomorrow for a consultation and getting half head foils with 3 colours- mid-brown, light-brown and a dark blonde. I then hope to follow this up in 4-6 weeks by getting another set of foils of dark, light and platinum blonde. This is a huuuuge change for me but I've been looking forward to this for about 2 years now (I've never got round to it as money has always been an issue but I got £150 for Christmas this year). I may get the appointment to get it done tomorrow but if not sometime either this week or the next! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you're a local follower (Folkestone/Ashford/Hythe) then I get my hair done in Oaks salon in Hythe & getting it done with either Kourtney or Jo- the style directors- and it will cost £59.50 each time which is very good considering my hair is sitting on my rib cage at the moment! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here is my inspiration:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://uk.loccitane.com/l'occitane-uk-natural-beauty-products-from-provence,83,1,28669,323292.htm">L'Occitane (En Provence)</a></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">L'Occitane is a fabulous brand, perfect for gifts for Mums & Nans but is extremely expensive for what it is. The scents are very natural and focus around traditional fragrances such as rose, cherry and plum blossom and lavender. They sell a range of bath & body products, fragrances, candles and hair products for both men and women. Here are some of my personal favourites:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Number 4</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.soapandglory.com/">Soap & Glory</a></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Soap & Glory is a highstreet brand I'm sure you've all heard of as it is sold in stores such as Boots and Harvey Nichols. It is incredibly cheap and at the moment they are selling a lot of gift sets at reduced prices (it being past Christmas and all). If the full size products are still out of your price range, Boots sell the travel-size range which are fab for trying out new products you are unsure of. And if you really want a cheaper alternative try <a href="http://www.dirtyworksbeauty.com/">Dirty Works</a> (sold in large supermarkets i.e. Sainsbury's) Here are a few of my favourites:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://www.soapandglory.com/products/bath-body/body-scrubs-exfoliators/sugar-crush">Sugar Crush (body scrub)</a></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Number 3</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/">Lush Cosmetics</a></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Most people would question why I have put Lush so low considering most beauty bloggers rate them quite highly and would even go as far to say it's their favourite brand. However, there is no Lush near me and I have only been in one twice (about 3 years ago was the most recent visit). I would order online but I'd hate to order something then hate the smell! I plan to go shopping in Maidstone soon as I heard there is a Lush there, I will keep you posted! As for now, I can't put any 'personal favourites' on as I can't recall which products I had bought :-(</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Joint Number 1 & 2</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.rituals.com/gb-en/">Rituals</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/index_s.aspx">The Body Shop</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I found it so hard to choose between these two as they are both my favourite brands in beauty. Rituals has the more sleek and elegant edge to bathing but the Body Shop is more affordable and has lot more relatable scents (strawberry, coconut, chocolate etc) compared to Rituals (Honey Touch, Mei Dao etc). At the moment here are my favourite Rituals products (these are also best-sellers and smell DIVINE! I would recommend these to anyone):</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Retro designs have been in fashion for about 2/3 seasons now and it doesn't look like the trend will be disappearing anytime soon, so this Dorothy Perkins bikini (<a href="http://www.dorothyperkins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=21&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33053&storeId=12552&productId=5037038&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208664&parent_categoryId=208600&pageSize=20&refinements=category~[212207|208664]&noOfRefinements=1">top</a> & <a href="http://www.dorothyperkins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=21&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33053&storeId=12552&productId=5037406&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208664&parent_categoryId=208600&pageSize=20&refinements=category~[212207|208664]&noOfRefinements=1">bottom</a>) won't be a one-year wear and at £14 all together for the look, who can complain?! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This Topshop <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=1&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=6115822&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208534&parent_categoryId=203984&pageSize=20">bikini</a> combines the best of the retro trend, like the previous bikini, and the scarf-print which has been all over the catwalk and highstreet during S/S12. This beautiful buy is also underwired to provide extra support so the pricey £30 might be worth it for those who require the support.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Next is an unusual design, from the one and only Marks & Spencers. Although this <a href="http://www.marksandspencer.com/Flamingo-Beach-Print-Halterneck-Swimsuit/dp/B007IY8NDC?ie=UTF8&ref=sr_1_42&nodeId=43169030&sr=1-42&qid=1343544601">swimsuit</a> is £35 I think it would be worth it as M&S is notorious for long-lasting and great quality clothing. The tropical trend is everywhere at the moment and with M&S becoming more and more fashionable recently, don't be afraid to have a look at their clothing range.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The final swimsuit combines 3 trends in one suit: bold print, fringes and cut-out. Cut-out is a huge swimwear trend and is all-over the magazines for S/S12. This <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/Online/women/swimwear--beachwear/swimsuits/brown-leopard-print-fringe-monokini-swimsuit-621603">swimsuit</a> is available from River Island and at only £27 for this gorgeous piece, I'd buy it! It would suit any haircolour and skintone. I'd match with a plain cover-up, jewellery, wedges and a pair of cat-eye shades for a great look for by the pool.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I love the pastel trend at the moment (as you could probably tell from the last 2 posts hehe!) and Barry M have really worked this trend from their new pastel collection which was released in April 2012. I currently have the peach (peach melba) and yellow (lemon ice) from this collection and hope to collect the other 3 before the stop the line, which won't be for a while yet. I rarely buy nail varnish these days as I have over 80 of them at the moment and I'd rather spend money on clothes and going out than small items such as jewellery and nail varnish. These polish's are £2.99 and are available at Boots and Superdrug.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This <a href="http://www.eyeslipsface.co.uk/product~prodID~179.htm">eyeliner</a> has been on my wishlist for a while but I haven't got around to ordering it yet as there's nothing else on the <a href="http://www.eyeslipsface.co.uk/">ELF website</a> that I'd like at the moment and it's a bit pointless ordering one item when the postage & packaging isn't exactly free! This eyeliner is only £3.75 and I'm sure I'll be ordering & reviewing this product soon :-)</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Wild Ginger Styling Treatment Oil</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I got a small, 25ml tester of this oil in a GlossyBox (February, I think) and the directions say to put on wet hair before drying to make hair easier to style (to stop fly-aways) and softer. You can also put on the ends of hair for a finishing touch. I love the smell of the product as I adore the smell of ginger and it makes my hair so soft and often get compliments of how soft it has made my hair when I do apply it. The full-size 100ml bottle is £25.00 so is rather expensive and the tester I got retails at £7.50 on its own. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with long, untame-able hair like mine :-)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.missguided.co.uk/pellar-lace-waistband-skater-dress-41452">Missguided Pellar Lace Waistband Skater Dress</a>- This gorgeous dress has been top of my most wanted list ever since I saw it in the 'new in' section on the Missguided website and at £25.99, on payday it will be mine! I would pair this lovely day dress with a pair of grey pumps, a brown satchel and some pastel jewellery.</span></div>

They can be left how they are or I would add some studs from Ebay (pyramid or cone studs would look best) and rip them, to add that 'grunge' feel. Anything can be worn with a simple pair of denim shorts and can be dressed up or down.</span></div>

The material is a thick, soft cotton that would be perfect for winter with a jumper/thick cardigan or summer with a pair of shorts (like the River Island ones above). If you don't want to pay £26 for it though, <a href="http://www.missguided.co.uk/semeri-checked-sleeveless-shirt">Missguided</a> do a dupe for £22.99 (only a few £'s cheaper but the every penny counts (-;). </span></div>

I love nudes/neutral colours and these could be dressed down with a simple dress (like the lilac lace dress at the top) for a daytime look or dressed up with a dip hem, bright skirt and a sheer shirt for an evening look.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hello readers,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Today I'm going the be telling you about Amy who runs <a href="http://alittlerayofsunshineonagreyday.blogspot.co.uk/">A Little Ray of Sunshine</a>. Although this site is a blog, she also has a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Amys-Kitsch-and-Vintage-Homemade-Jewellery/196235933805183">Facebook page</a> where you can get in touch to buy her jewellery. She is from Britain so I'm not sure if she ships internationally. I'm not going to pretend I know all about her site & what-not as I've only purchased one thing (see the image below) but I love love love her creations! If I had endless amounts of income I would purchase it all! Most items are under£5 (which is a bargain!) and she runs a stall which I think she runs around her local area from time to time :-) When I first got in touch with her about purchasing this necklace (which was about 3 months ago) she was very sweet and her communication throughout the sale was superb, she treated me like a friend! Of all the buyers I have ever bought from such as Dolly Bow Bow, Dainty Roses (although I do love this site) she is by far the best with communication. I would recommend her if you're into this kind of jewellery any day :-) Here is a picture of the necklace I bought from her for £3.50:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I got this top today in the sale and I knew I had to do an OOTD on it! Although my blogging days are traditionally Sunday, Wednesday and Friday and today is Monday I really had to! I love this top to bits and if you can't tell it is pleated and sheer. I put the title as 'dress up/down' as I feel this outfit is suitable for going out with the girls to town or for a evening out with the family due to the mix of black heels & casual jeans. Wear it on either occasion! If you can make out my Hamsa Hand necklace, it is from eBay (sorry I don't own any Primark jewellery!). If you haven't guessed already, everything is from Primark. Have a great day,</span></div>

As many of you now I'm in year 11 and I finished all my GCSEs in year 10 due to an advanced curriculum, so this year I have taken up 3 AS Levels (EPQ, ICT and Photography) and Media GCSE and a Textiles non-exam course. Since this is such a leap from GCSEs I have been overwhelmed recently with getting coursework in for Photography and EPQ and revising for my ICT exam which is in less than a week, aaaah! I promise I will continue blogging after my exams and I may do another quick post now. Once again I am sorry I have not blogged for a while :-(</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So Missguided have just released their own 70-piece range titled, 'Peace and Love' and in this (rather late) post I will be chattin' about my favourite & not-so-favourite pieces! All of which is matter of opinion, so don't shoot me down if you love an item I hate!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"><i>Favourites-</i></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">These shorts have been in my dreams ever since I saw them on the site last week & I must say i've fallen head over heels in love for them. I don't know how they did this design so unfortunately this won't be on my list for experimentation but for £25.99 I guess they won't be on my shopping list either as I refuse to pay over £20 for some shorts! I'm poor :-(</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<a href="http://www.missguided.co.uk/pammi-studded-cross-detail-jeans-5"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Studded Jeans</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I don't normally go for black jeans but these certainly caught my eye, LOVE LOVE LOVE! I love studded clothes at the moment and a couple weeks back I took to some shorts by studding & dying them (will do a tutorial soon when I have £££). I will certainly have a go at making some of these on Primark jeans, but I'm afraid the studs will cut my knees as I walk so they must have sewn some material under the studs after. But at £44.99 I'd rather spend my money elsewhere....</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Look at these beauties! Heels are a definite passion of mine but being (1/4 inch off) 5'8" I look rather silly wearing them around town, so I wear flats as often as possible. I love these studded shoes & I would KILL for them but (yet again) will not be buying them due to a horrendous price tag of £54.99.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Scarf print is a personal hatred of mine and sewn onto a denim shirt is one sure fire way to irritate me! The colour of the denim does not compliment the pattern on the sleeves and I just dislike this shirt all together. Missguided have released this shirt in several patterns, all of which are disgusting and I would not pay £24.99 for.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I adore denim shirts and to see so many go to waste is terrible. I normally love leopard print and I own a lot of leopard printed items, however the print on this shirt is so dark the contrast between the pale blue and dark print is not very nice. If they did the shirt without the printed patches it would deffo be on my shopping list! But unfortunately, not for £24.99.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So me and my friends decided to get the 2 1/2 hour train to Brighton on Thursday and I must say it was worth the £10 ticket & 5 hours + on a train all day! But it was not what I expected it to be...i.e as expensive as it was! Between all 4 of us we paid £20 for tokens for Brighton Pier and that got us on 2 rides! :-( But I did pay £2 extra just for a go on the mechanical bull- which I must say what VERY hard! I think my record on it was 3 seconds, faaaiiillll! And there was barely anywhere to eat lunch as far as we could see, there was no McDonalds?! What madness?! (Although we probably weren't looking hard enough) In the end we sat down in a sweet little Chinese place and all had a chow mein :-} lush! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: justify;">As well as a brilliant day at the pier we also went uptown and had a look through some shops and I managed to get hold of some....hold it....SOME DOC MARTENS! Never worn, charity shop, black suede, low tops....£20.99! Love having size 4 feet at times ;-) Here's a picture of them: (be jel)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Overall, I think it was worth the long trip but god was it expensive! If you're thinking about going I really would recommend going at about 8 & leaving late as we couldn't get a lot done (our day was 12-3 in Brighton). I wouldn't go there again in a rush, though. Maybe I'd leave it a couple months :-)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Recently I have been obsessed with online -<i>window</i>- shopping and <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/">River Island </a>has really caught my eye this season. Their spring/summer clothes are definitely worth a peek! Also, their sunglasses are very similar to Topshop's this season (but of course a tad cheaper ;-) ) and the retro-styled glasses have caught my attention (<a href="http://www.riverisland.com/Online/women/sunglasses/retro-sunglasses/light-green-print-retro-sunglasses-615603">especially the ones in the above image</a>). Not to mention the fab, <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/Online/women/skirts/mini-skirts/beige-elephant-print-mini-skirt-613972">elephant-patterned skirt</a>! I fell head over heels in love -<i>how cheesey</i>- and is the first thing I am dying to buy! And at £20 it's a steal :-). I've had my eye on the <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/Online/women/shoes--boots/ankle-boots/beige-leopard-print-ankle-boots-614158">booties</a> since Christmas now and the only reason I haven't bought them out of my birthday money is that no River Island I have been to stocks them! Due to having such thin & small feet (size 4!) I really need to try before I buy and if I can't return them instore, £40 is a lot to waste! As for the <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/Online/women/jeans/denim-shorts/lilac-tropical-print-denim-shorts-616416">beautiful, palm tree shorts</a> I really can't resist! But in my eyes, £25 is a lot for some denim, especially when Primark do great quality shorts for a fiver!</span></div>

And if you're anything like me, you won't be able to keep a compartment-filed box tidy. However, after subscribing to MakeupJunkie101 on YouTube, I found a video of hers that explains how she organises her nail polish and now I do the same! Below I will explain how it works.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You will need:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- Nail wheels (depending on how many nail varnishes you have. I ordered 5 but this wasn't enough, so I will order another 5 soon. I have between 70-80 polishes)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- A basket</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- A blank spreadsheet on your computer</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- Pen & paper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Firstly, I'd like to say what nail wheels are & where you can get them. Nail wheels are a plastic disk with false nails coming out from the sides of the disk. I got mine from Ebay in a set of 5. They were £2.99 for the set.Here they are (once painted):</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HcQOnkcaGBU/T3IhwNtrMhI/AAAAAAAAAM4/L6TVvP3TQ8c/s1600/nail+wheels.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="221" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HcQOnkcaGBU/T3IhwNtrMhI/AAAAAAAAAM4/L6TVvP3TQ8c/s400/nail+wheels.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1. You will need to lay out all your nail polishes, I did mine on the floor because I have so many. You will need to group them somehow. I did mine by colour but you can do yours by glitter/non-glitter/shimmer/matt/etc, in the order of the rainbow or any other way you can think of. Then number the nails individually on the nail wheel, if you don't understand what I mean, here is a picture below to demonstrate:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M8Ya51sOmVE/T3Ij6V0WTXI/AAAAAAAAANA/0hgMNNfJvAo/s1600/nail+wheel+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="221" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M8Ya51sOmVE/T3Ij6V0WTXI/AAAAAAAAANA/0hgMNNfJvAo/s400/nail+wheel+2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">2. On your piece of paper list 1-18. On each nail that you paint write down next to the numbers (in accordance to the nail number on the wheel) which nail varnish you used on it & how many coats you put on. This will make it easier to write up your spreadsheet (and it means you can do it anytime as long as you have the paper!) Here is a picture to show you how I did my sheet:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ckvmWggyGUw/T3Ikm_3goGI/AAAAAAAAANI/fpybVtXgPE0/s1600/nail+wheels+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="221" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ckvmWggyGUw/T3Ikm_3goGI/AAAAAAAAANI/fpybVtXgPE0/s400/nail+wheels+3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">3. After completing all your nail wheels & the written piece of paper, you will need to open up a spreadsheet (on Excel). You will need to create a table like the following:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ubqXUK0K_3k/T3IlwHO9CVI/AAAAAAAAANQ/mZxiNpYkHqo/s1600/Nail+spreadheet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="392" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ubqXUK0K_3k/T3IlwHO9CVI/AAAAAAAAANQ/mZxiNpYkHqo/s640/Nail+spreadheet.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">(Make sure the polishes are listed in the group order you have grouped them by. If you have grouped them not by colour, then replace the 'colour' collumn with whatever topic the groups are)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">4. Fill it in!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jRQoUjecYjk/T3IqX6hDvdI/AAAAAAAAANY/vqUN71IEw9U/s1600/Nail+spreadheet+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="394" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jRQoUjecYjk/T3IqX6hDvdI/AAAAAAAAANY/vqUN71IEw9U/s640/Nail+spreadheet+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is my final spreadsheet (obviously it wouldn't be zoomed in when read). The real reason for creating this spreadsheet is so if you look at your nail wheel and think, I'd like that one today, which one is it? You can easily view it on your computer. I only did this as nail varnishes look extremely different in the bottle to on your nail and thanks to the 'how many coats?' collumn you can see how many coats you would need to get the look on the nail wheel and therefore estimate how much time you need for drying!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What a great idea?! Thanks MakeupJunkie101!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Have a great day everyone,</span></div>
