Blue Nails with Pink Tips!

B here...

Yet another blog post about nails! These were my new nails last week. Similar the week before with the purple and yellow but instead I put the sticker strips like french tips. 

I went for Nails Inc pink and blue and I thought they went really well together and got lots of compliments of them so it's definitely one to do again. 

What else do I need to try? Let me know :)

Gold/Brass Pineapple Candle Holder

B here... 

Now Gus and I have bought a house and currently in the process of doing it up (needs a lot of TLC), I've been looking at a lot of home decor. 

I went to Marks and Spencer's and came across these beauties!! I love pineapples so naturally I eeeeked when I saw these! 

They are not only to look super cute anywhere in your house but they are also a candle holder. 

£17.50 a pineapple...so I bought 2. 

Anyone else have a pineapple fetish?

Yellow and Purple Nails with an Aztec Design

B here...

It's been a crazy year so far and literally no time for anything! I got engaged in October (wedding is this October) and we bought a house in January! I must be crazy trying to do this in a year. 

My first post in a long long time is about...nails!! 

I busted out the nail stickers to make this design! I thought the yellow and purple go really well together.

I'm definitely going to do more like this so any suggestions for colours that'll arch then please comment :)

I'm getting married!!

B here... 

Can't believe how bad both Zee and I have been with blogging but really exiting news....I'm engaged! :) Gus propsed on the 4th October and I've already started planning and even ordering little bits and bobs.

The ring is so beautiful! He did very well picking it out. I always catch myself just staring at it.

Love the vintage baby box it came in too! 

The proposal story isn't your typical candle, restaurant story but for me it was perfect. Just sitting on the sofa in my pjs watching Greys Anatomy, in he walks and pops the question! 

We've already booked the venue and our wedding will be October 28th 2015. I've got lots of quirky ideas so will posting them up soon.

Red Wine Floral Dress from Dorothy Perkins

Zee here...

Wedding receptions can be quite tricky to dress for as you don't want to look majorly formal but at the same time you don't want to look like you're off clubbing. When I was invited to my boss's wedding I was really struggling with what to wear. After going through my whole wardrobe I decided I needed something new. And what better timing when Dorothy Perkins email me about their 30% off event!

I stumbled across this lovely maroon floral dress, it was supposed to be £18 which is cheap anyway but due to the promotional event it only cost £15!! 

I loved wearing this dress, I felt very comfortable and I received loads of compliments! I struggle with my weight but the style of this dress is perfect for a curvier figure as it only comes in at the waist and the pattern distracts from the stomach area! Another great thing about this dress is the length - as I'm fairly tall I struggle with finding dresses that are an appropriate length but this was perfect. I didn't have to worry at all about keeping myself covered, it was still above the knee but well below my bum. I accessorised my outfit with nude heels which dressed it up without looking formal. 

I have also been able to wear this dress at work as it looks smart but as it's a jersey material it doesn't look over the top (perfect for my office!). 

This is a lovely dress and it's such great value for money - what's the best thing? That it comes in so many more colours!! I'm already ordering the one black, white and grey floral design!

Sass and Belle Biscuit Cushions

B here...

I am loving these Sass and Belle biscuit cushions!! 

As a biscuit lover, can't really have any other cushions right?!

Sass and Belle have a party ring cushion, custard cream and jam biscuit cushion. 

On their website, they are £17.45 each, but I bought mine off eBay for £32 for the party ring and custard cream ones.

From the images, they look like a decent size and cute as ever. Can't wait till they arrive!

House of Holland Thorn In My Side by Elegant Touch

B here...

After trying House of Holland's Sweet Tooth nails, I went on the hunt for some other patterns. There is so much choice that I really had to control myself and just buy one pack.

I went for Thorn In My Side which has these amazing 3D roses stuck on some of the nails.

Here is what they look like stuck on. I use Elegant Touch nail glue which is really good and they stay stuck on for well over a week for me. 

I love the thorn and rose pattern! 

After a week or so, I carefully removed them so that I could use them again soon.

These were £7.99, which I think is reasonable and even more reasonable if you able to keep the intact when you remove them.

To buy yours, visit Elegant Touch.
