So if you are following me on Instagram you may have seen my excitement at the weekend when my mum brought home the Boots Christmas catalogue! I dont know why but I get so excited for the Boots Christmas catalogue... its not that it makes me feel particularly christmassy (it is after all only October) but I love looking through what they are going to have...

Having a look through the catalogue there is some lovely stuff, I dont think this catalogue excites me as much as other years but there is some lovely stuff - In particularly there seem to be a lot of make up brush sets which is typical because my mum had loads of trouble finding an affordable make up brush set last year when I asked Santa for one.
So here are my top things which I am loving at first glance in this years Boots collection.

I thought I would share with you the latest addition to my handbag collection. I was getting a bit bored of the bag I was using and it felt a little small (for all the crap I like to carry round in my handbag) so I fancied a change and a new bag. I have had my eyes open for weeks to see if I could get a new bag but hadnt found anything I really liked. I wondered if I was being too fussy. I needed it to fit my Samsung Galaxy Tablet in as I take this to work to read on. I love satchel style bags and like ones that have long straps. Surely this can not be so hard.

And then on a girly trip to town I found itttttttttttt... 


Isnt it pretty! This bag is called the Faux Snake Trim Satchel and is available in store and online here at Topshop for £34.
I am so in love with this bag. It fits everything in which I want including my mac which rolls up. I will do another Whats in my bag post at some point because I haven't done one for probably 12 months. So keep your peepers peeled for that!

So I may be a little bit behind the band wagon on this one but I tried and tried to get this palette and only a managed to get hold of it about 6 or 8 weeks ago.

I can not even tell you how much I love this palette... it has all the colours in which I will love and use and is a great every day palette!


I really love all of the colours in this.. there are a couple of colours when I first saw I was a bit meh about but when I tired them in a look they worked well. My particular favorites are the 3 green ones in the dead centre. I am always a bit skeptical about wearing green because I have really green eyes but it really looked lovely.


The accessorize palette retails for £8.99 and is available from Accessorize and Superdrugs.



Do you love the accessorize palettes? Which is your favorite?

You may remember a months back I did this blog post and this video on my youtube channel of my Top nail colours for Spring. I missed Summer out because they are pretty much the same as spring, all nice bright colours.
I think we can firmly say that we are going into Autumn/Winter so I thought I would pack away the bright colours and share with you my Top nail colours for Autumn/Winter. I have done a video which is avaliable over on my youtube channel if you want to see a breakdown of them all.


So my Top (11) Nail Colours for Autumn/Winter 2012.

I cant remember if I have mentioned this before but I am currently training  to be a guide leader. I absolutely love it. I get to spend my Wednesday nights with 23 absolutely nutty and wonderful teenage girls.
Yesterday me, one of the other leaders, 19 of our guides and 3 buses of guides from our district took the 2 hour trip over to Sheffield for the Annual Girl Guides Big Gig. Basically the big gig is like a pop concert which they host and pop stars come along and perform! I was quite excited to go as they gradually revealed the line up would include JLS, Scouting for Girls, Amelia Lily, Cover Drive, Little Mix, Loveable Rogues and Conor Maynard.

Now excuse the crappy photos.. I didnt take my camera so I just took pictures on my phone :P
