Moves like "Jaeger"

Lyst Jaeger  Quilted Bag

Lyst Quilted bag- RRP£250

Weekend shenanigans took me to Clarks Village outlet in Somerset. Retail therapy for me is not so much in the  buying, even the shopping experience & trying out staff gives me a buzz. Thats normally how I compile my "wishlist" for the ever impending Christmas or Birthday treats etc. This was not my trip though, I was literally on the job. A friend has a wedding to attend and wanted for me to style her out. Im such a big fan of Jaeger and I couldn't help a quick detour to check out the new lines and boy did I do myself  a favour. I've been wanting this bag for so long, (its actually sold out in all the mainstream shops) but have not been able to justify the price. Price tag came in at a hefty £250, which for me is a little steep for a small bag, which at a push can be  

classed as a clutch. Jaeger had sales of up to 75%. I held the bag all throughout the quick browse -to buy or not to buy?? Finally gave in and went to the counter expecting at the most to pay at least half of it. Would you believe it? I got it for a cool £75. I burst into song "written in the stars",much to the chagrin of all in the shop (acting all hood in one of these quaint villages- LOL)

   I'm loving the quilted look- just spells stylish and expensive. That should be me done for bags till next year. I've got a habit of overdoing things when I like them. If you're looking for the same trend, I got a beautiful handbag from Ted Baker. Loved it soo much I had to get the ipad case to match..Well to be honest, I'm just a Ted baker junkie..(hint hint on that wish wishlist)

"An affair ...

.... in Red Square" is one of my favourite ever nail colours from OPI. I have an unhealthy obsession with  it- one thing I dont mind admitting to at all. The bold red is a statement on its own and I feel like a powerhouse whenever I wear it.  Does to me what retail therapy or a Starbucks to others. The beauty of it is I don't need to work hard on what I wear after, it won't matter. I usually pair with MAC Red or Ruby/RiRi Woo. Talk about feeling good from within.....
            Like all beauty trends, nail polish trends change. For me, one easy way to instantly glam up an outfit is a set of perfectly groomed nails in a show stopping nail polish. I do not mind the more statement, bright shades that shout right at you. Here are a few of my faves.

Steamy by MAC
This comes up a bit pricey at £11, but I'm sure you can agree looking like that, one can't put a tag on it..  Pink is an an all year round beauty and fashion trend and one of the easiest ways to dip into the look is via - you guessed it- Pink nail vanish. I wore it to a wedding with a bright yellow dress and thats all I had to do to complete my look. And I've worn it a couple of other times-dare I say I almost always come out with a compliment.

Mint Green by BarryM 

I adore BarryM. Whether you're a metallic, glitter or glossy kind of chick, BarryM has it.  The collection is an easy way to update your everyday look, or try your hand on a chic take on the nail art trend. Theres something seriously satisfying about buying nail polish or adding to a collection and one such for me is BarryM. They  come in at £2.99 but if like me you're always drawn to the BarryM counter, you're in with a chance of getting them as cheap as £1.99. I'm always buying them for no reason whatsoever. Well, for just because they are so delicious and I love them all and can't decide on one colour. (Covers face and hides)

2. Steam - £11 by MAC 

                                                                3. Mint Green np304 - £2.99 by BarryM

Whatever the occasion or time of year, perfectly groomed nails never go out of style. Inasmuch as the trends change seasonally, there's no one shade suits all. However you want to experiment- take your pick from the affordable BarryM shades, that must have OPI vanish to the seriously luxe Chanel, Tom ford hues etc. Happy painting....
