Ardell Lashes

I absolutely love Ardell lashes. I think they're relatively new to the UK market (I've only recently started seeing them in Boots) but they're a firm favourite across the pond. My go-to lashes are the 131s which normally set me back a fiver in Boots. However yesterday I went to TK Maxx and they had loads of them for only £2.99! I picked up some 131s and 101s (which look massive & amazing). I've seen them in 3 different branches of TK Maxx so it seems like they are widely available there.

I also noticed that Superdrug have a 3 for 2 offer on their Eylure lashes so if you're anything like me & can't live without your false lashes, get yourself to Superdrug and stock up!

What I Wore Today

Dress - American Apparel
I am a complete fiend for American Apparel. I got this dress a couple of years ago, I only wore it once and its been sitting in my wardrobe since then. I'm running out of wardrobe space so I'm trying to wear old things rather than constantly buy new stuff. Plus no more student loan, boo! As with all things from American Apparel it is so comfy and makes it look like you've made an effort even if you haven't. You can also see my accidental ombre hair clearly here. I cannot wait to get rid of it!

Today we had the in laws round and they took us to Ikea to get Chloe a high chair. I'm dead chuffed with it because its absolutely perfect and only cost £15. We also got hot dogs and ice cream at the end which is surely the best part of any trip to Ikea!


I also created a Mad Men version of myself. And you can too here. I've only watched the first series of Mad Men but I really like the show. Jon Hamm is gorgeous and I love his guest appearances in 30 Rock. Has everyone seen the live ep they just did? I definitely recommend you check it out if you haven't already!

Object Of Desire: Velvet

Peter Pan Collar Dress - Topshop - £95
Chiffon Playsuit - Miss Selfridge - £47
Lace Insert Bodycon Dress - Miss Selfridge - £40
Turban - ASOS - £8
Body - Miss Selfridge - £25
Peg Trousers - ASOS - £38
I can't look at velvet without getting Blue Velvet stuck in my head. I'm really happy that this fabric is fast becoming the latest trend. A few months ago I bought a beautiful oversized black velvet bow hairband from H&M which reignited my love for this material. It is generally seen the kind of thing that goths might wear but as shown by these pieces it can look really elegant. I do have a massive thing for Peter Pan collar dresses - I must own at least 10! But at £95 I don't think I can afford to add the Topshop one to my collection. I only recently bought a black chiffon playsuit from Miss Selfridge but I am loving the black velvet one with white chiffon sleeves. I think I may have to splurge out on it. Has anyone else seen/own any great velvet pieces or is it something you think should remain on the streets of Camden Market?
