This is what I wore last week when I went to see Loserville the musical at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds. One thing you might not know about me is that I used to be a die-hard Busted fan. My friends & I would stalk them everywhere. We even used to get drunk on the train at 7am before CD:UK recordings so we wouldn't seem quite so lame on the off chance that they would speak to us. Ahh the logic of 16 year olds... I digress but the point is that even after all this time they still hold a special place in my heart. So when I heard that James was making a musical based on some of the songs by his second band Son Of Dork, I knew I had to go see it. It told the story of a geek called Michael Dork who is trying to invent e-mail in the 1970s. It doesn't sound like the best plot ever but it definitely made for a really fun musical and brought new life to songs that I never really paid attention to. The best part was that Lil' Chris is one of the stars! I bloody love Lil' Chris and still listen to Checkin' It Out all the time haha! The whole cast were amazing actually. Gareth Gates was pretty good too even if he does look really old these days! I think its only on for another two weeks but you should definitely go check it out if you're in the area. I left with a huge smile on my face & keep finding myself singing along to all the songs.

I popped into Topshop on the way home and now I am desperate for some of their new shoes. I really want these three pairs. I secretly hated the Vectra shoes for the longest time and never got the appeal but the new canvas versions are amazing. I am poor though so help me decide which ones to get! Surely three pairs of studded shoes is overkill anyway?

New Nails: imPress Press-On Manicure TGIF

False nail sets aren't normally something that I find to be particularly interesting. I tend to be loyal to my Nailene Petite Square falsies as they give me the freedom to do all the nail art that I want. But I was having a browse in Boots the other day and these babies caught my eye. Isn't the pattern just divine? I can't stop looking at them. They're really striking yet elegant and I've been having compliments on them all week long.

These are the TGIF nails from the imPress range by Broadway Nails. In a nutshell, they're false nails but with the added bonus of having a sticky tab already attached. They take just a couple of minutes to apply but last on your nails for days. They're brilliant for travelling with or if you're in a rush. I always end up doing my nails on the bus or train so these save me the hassle & the mess. In each pack you get 24 nails in a range of sizes so its easy to find ones that fit you. The nails themselves are very short so you do need to cut off your nails before applying these. I like short falsies because you get that clean look & can still go about your daily tasks. You also get a prep pad which just cleans your nails before application & a nail file. The nail file was pretty crap so I had to get out my normal one but otherwise I'm really impressed (excuse the pun!) with this range. I love the packaging & the idea of keeping the nails in a little nail polish bottle is really cute. The nails come in loads of different colours & patterns that you don't really see in any other brands so they're worth checking out. I'm not sure they're worth £8.99 but they sure are purdy!

Laura Mercier Crème de Pistache Trio

When it comes to body care products the thing I value most is a good scent. I first fell in love with Laura Mercier's offerings about 6 years ago when my mum bought me some of their Crème Brûlée hand cream. The sickly sweet vanilla caramel smell was so divine & that product never strayed from my handbag. Last Christmas I wandered into Space.NK and noticed that they had a special trio of body creams. I decided to try some of the pistachio one on my arm & it was love at first sniff. Sadly I never got round to buying that set because it was way too pricey. Fast forward to a few weeks ago & I noticed that they sell a trio of just the pistachio products. I ordered my set from Space.NK as my local store didn't have any in stock. It cost £35 which I thought was a good deal considering how much these products cost individually.

The set contains a 200ml bottle of Crème Body Wash, a 100g pot of Soufflé Body Crème & a 50g tube of Hand Crème. All of these products have a strong sweet nutty scent. Its quite incredible how good these smell. You might think that actual pistachio nuts don't really smell of much so if anything these products smell more like pistachio ice cream, yummy. The scent is most prominent in the shower cream. It fills the bathroom & lingers in there long after you've finished bathing. Unfortunately it doesn't last on your skin but the other products in the set soon rectify that. The body wash itself is very creamy & indulgent. It foams up nicely so you don't need to use much of it at all. It doesn't leave any residue once washed off & leaves my skin feeling very fresh.

The body cream is very moisturising & sinks into my skin quickly. I normally don't bother with moisturising after showering because I hate having to wait to put my clothes on but this just melts into your skin so easily & you can get dressed right away. This product definitely succeeds where the shower cream failed at leaving my skin smelling like pistachios. The hand cream is probably my favourite product out of the set because the smell is very long lasting & it makes my hands feel like silk. I find that some hand creams can leave your hands feeling slightly tacky or greasy but this formula sinks into the skin so quickly & does a brilliant job of making your hands lovely & soft. I keep finding myself having a quick sniff of my hands which probably sounds mental but I am just obsessed with this scent. The whole Laura Mercier range of bath & body products is so luxurious & all four of the available scents are absolutely gorgeous. I definitely recommend checking out their products if you're after a bit of indulgence.
