"There is no one alive who is youer than you"

After 3 years of running, one of my favourite shops is closing down. RockYourVibe is basically a "feel good" shop which sells the likes of expression rocks, inspirational moodbands and many other things.
The products i love the most are the poetic jewelry, I just find them so different and something that you can associate with yourself.
When I heard of this shop, I was in Australia 2 years ago with my mum and sister, and I fell in love.
The shop was covered in scented candles, different pieces of jewelry and sculptures, flowers and lots of different indoor and outdoor furniture and jewelry stands. I remember walking into one section of the shop and i looked up to see dream catchers, hanging fairies and candle holders, all floating a good metre above my head.
It was when my mum picked up this gorgeous bracelet when the poetic jewelry caught my eye, and I found my favourite quote
Looking through all the jewelry, there were engraved bangles, ring, pendants and earrings. Then as me and my mum were looking for a ring for my dad, the quote "There is no one alive who is youer than you" by Dr Seuss caught my eye on a spinner ring and my mum decided that was the ring to get.


Unfortunately my dad is one of those who prefers to wear rings that he has always worn, but every time i see this ring I always remember the little, "relaxation" shop and always think to myself "One day, that quote will be my tattoo" and whenever I feel down about my appearance, I always think of this quote.
Sooo, if any of you are into inspirational jewelery or products you can associate with yourself, then I suggest you visit this website before it closes down!
And tell me if you have anything, even if it's the tiniest thing, that always reminds you of something

When you were young

When you were young, did any of you not really appreciate some presents your family or friends got you? I will be truthful and say I didn't, it's just a natural thing for young'ens to do, then as you get older, you realise how little you did at a young age.
I have always realised this, but i think I realised it more today when I looked at a present i got for my 14 th birthday off my parents.
This present is a RoadFlair collectable purse

This purse is made out of recycled aluminum license plates, and studded with over 200 Swarovski crystals with a Swarovski crystal- studded bottle cap closure and a 9" rubber handle with Swarovski crystal accents
I honestly think this is one of the most beautiful purses I have ever seen and I find it amazing how (apart from the crystals) it is entirely made out of recycled license plates and bits of cars.
As it was a present I do not now how much it cost and don't want to know in case it was a fair bit, but to have a look at this unique beauties, here's the website,
http://shop.littlearth.com/
I honestly think that if it's any of your closest friends or family's major birthday (like their 18th/ 21st/ 40th/ etc) this would be a great present for them, as your own present to them or even a present from a group of you!
But either way, I advise you look at some of their creations as they are utterly amazing and tell me what you think and also, look around your room and see what you have that you got given as a child and never thought it has a great thing, because it's never too late to say thank you.

Pretty sad...I know

Just to show how sad I am but wooooo! Got over 100 views! This is an achievement for me.
All you lovelies out there, keep on looking out for my new posts and I hope you enjoy!

Ooh shiny

Well, it's a boring friday night in, so, carrying on from the last post, I decided to decorate my nails!
Still going with golds and glitter, I have used glittery red, gold and glittery nail varnish's, orange and clear beads and heart sequins.
I have to say, I am no professional, but it sure was fun!
With just "going with the flow", this is what i came out with!
Not great but it's a start
On my thumb i just used the maXfactor nail varnish to apply a sequin heart to my nail and just simply applied dots around the heart using the glittery red nail varnish

On my index finger, again using the maXfactor nail varnish, I used this to apply the orange and clear beads onto the top of my nail in a pattern of orange, clear, orange etc.
On my middle finger, I applied the beads to form a simple flower in the bottom right hand corner of my nail (again using the maXfactor nail varnish as glue).
On my ring finger, I applied a clear bead to the right hand corner of my nail, then painted "petals" coming off it in the glittery red and gold nail varnish.
On my pinky, i just did a simple Manicure using the maXfactor and glittery red nail varnish.
To finish all these nails off, I applied one coat of my glitter nail varnish to help secure the heart sequin and beads.

So lovelies, give me your opinion on my creativity and do you, yourself, love decorating your nails or any type of make-up decorating?

"Like mother like daughter"

A day to grocery shop with my mum turned into browsing around Next and the George section in Asda, yes George may not be designer or "upper class" but you can get some pretty decent deals!
As my mum shopped around for food, I found some dinky little nail varnishes from the maXfactor section in the beauty products isle, two for £6! I wasn't going to leave without taking advantage of this deal!

So I got a teal/ turquoise shimmer nail varnish and a bronze glittery gold nail varnish, i would put down the names of these beauty's, but the bloody thing's only say "Max Effect Mini Nail Polish" so sorry guys.
At the moment I am wearing the bronze nail varnish and I have to say, I love it! When it catches the light, you get hints of glittery gold and orange, great for a safari or a "Greek goddess" look.

After buying the nail varnish and helping mum look for groceries, we decided to pop into Next, as she needed an outfit to go out in tomorrow. My mum bought a beautiful Navy Stripe Jersey Blazer for £45 and a White Lace Cape for £20 and I got a gorgeous pair of Nude Cork Peep Toe Shoes 


I have fallen in love with these wonders! Corks, wedges and platforms shoes are a great item to have this spring and summer! Couldn't get anymore summery than a good pair of light coloured heels unless you're walking around in them in your bikini! Next sells lots of different shoes to appeal to everyone so have a little peek at www.next.co.uk and tell me what you think.

In with the old, out with the new

Looking at the theme of Little Miss, I have become bored of it, so, I have decided that I am going to re-vamp! If anyone has any suggestions then feel free to comment!

You never fail to amaze me

Well I'm guessing most of you have listened to Katy Perry's fairly recent song "E.T." featuring Kanye West and in my opinion, I don't like it, but, it's starting to grow on me.
To be quite honest with everyone, I miss the old Katy Perry. Yes, no matter if she's wearing a pretty little girly dress or dressed up as a futuristic alien girl, she will always look gorgeous and her voice is outstanding no matter what song she's singing, but her style has changed quite a lot from being the singer that could have been known to be different, to now being partly "mainstream".
So, my question to you lovelies is, which Katy Perry do you prefer?
The Old

Or, the New

And also, what do you think of her new song?
