♥ Give Away ♥

Hello Chicas!
Welcome to my giveaway!
I have up for grabs a beautiful brand new Chanel Rouge Coco Shine sheer lipshine in no 46 Liberte.
I have been wanting to do a give away for a while, and this is the perfect time.
I was given this lippie as a gift but I fear this colour will not suit me...so I thought why not find it a nice home where it will be shown lots of love?

However, there is one (or two!) conditions to entering this competition...
If you are a regular reader of my blog you will know that I am currently applying for jobs, and doing lots of research for various presentations and interviews. I need to compile some research on handbags and thought I could kick start my research by asking you to answer a few easy peasy questions when you enter into this give away.

Questions on High Street Handbags

2) If yes, what are your favourite shops to buy bags from? (e.g River Island/Topshop etc)
3) What is the most you would pay for a non-leather bag from the high street?
4) How many bags do you buy a year from the high street?
5) Do you look for designer inspired bags on the high street?
That's it!!!

This giveaway is open to chicas ALL over the world, so go ahead and be a dear and answer these questions!

The giveaway will close on the 3rd June at the end of the day, and I will use Random.Org to choose the winner.

Musings on Monday

Hello Chicas!
How are you?
I've had an influx of followers over the weekend so THANK YOU♥ and welcome.
^-^
I have another outfit post for you today, but I was getting a little worried my blog looks very egoistical and everything...I don't just want to post pictures of myself all the time so I'm sorry if it seems this way...well I have a LOT of spare time to myself now that I've nearly finished up at work, and since I don't have a new job yet I've been spending a lot more time on blogger looking at all your lovely blogs. You chicas really are beautiful and inspirational. I really enjoy reading your posts and some blogs that I really love I have actually spent hours reading the ENTIRE back log! If you are a new follower do post your blog links below and I will be sure to follow you and have a read of your blog if I haven't already!

My outfit is VERY casual and boring since I've been spending the past days stuck at home preparing presentations etc. But I hope you like it anyway...as usual I have on my trusty sunnies!

Lady Gaga
I've been listening to the new Lady Gaga album this afternoon...I have to say...I turned it off before I finished it. I love the Fame Monster but this is not really my cuppa tea. Maybe its a grower but right now its not doing much for me.Hair is a good tune though.

Selena & Justin
Just a small note about fashion - didn't Selena Gomez & JB look great at the Billboard awards last night? She is such a stunner, I'm starting to think she is prettier than him!

London After The Royal Wedding
Lastly, these pictures are a bit late in coming, but I am lazy and I only just edited them. The day of the Royal Wedding, I watched it from home as I could not face the crowds, but the day after, my Mum & I ended up taking a peaceful stroll down the Mall and Horse Guards Parade and I must say it was really enjoyable, and seeing all the beautiful flags made me feel very patriotic.

A small note about the soldiers, I did feel especially for the second soldier who I have a close up of. He was guarding near Horse Guards and people were just going right up into his face and shooting pictures of him and it was so warm, he must of been driven crazy with people trying to make him laugh! I gave him such sympathetic looks and he caught my eye just as I took the shot of him... I hope he didn't think I was being sarcastic when I held my camera up after all!

Hope you all are having lovely Mondays. I am off to my very first Zumba class tonight, I will report back tomorrow on how it is!

New Jewellery Treat

Howdy Bella Chicas!
How are you?
Today I wanted to show you my latest indulgence, which is an ever so beautiful silver ring by my favourite jewellery designer, Daisy Knights.
I have been feeling a bit down over the past month due to the fact that am losing my job which I really loved. I've been working there for 3 years and it feels really weird to know that by the end of next week I will be jobless. To cheer myself up I bought a ring that I have been dying to add to my collection of Daisy Knight's jewellery. I really adore her things, I have quite a few of her rings and friendship bracelets. This latest wing ring is 3 inches wide and sits comfortably across three fingers - making it a great statement piece. It is made from recycled sterling silver so you don't have to worry about any discolouration that comes with high street jewellery, AND its a unique design! What more could you ask for?
I LOVE it!

I also have my eyes on some pieces from Elizabeth and James. If you're not familiar with Elizabeth & James, it is the slightly more affordable line by the Olsen Twins. When my friend went to New York a couple of years ago I asked her to bring me home one of their rings designed by Robert Lee Morris - and I feel it needs some company.
These are the pieces on my wishlist!
I just need someone to give me a job

What do you think chicas, should I further indulge or be content with my wing ring?

Hair Guru : Lilith Moon

I was messing around on You Tube the other day when I came across a great tutorial on how to do Pixie Lott style french braids across the side of your head. I've never ever been able to do french/dutch/fishtail braids and I thought I would never learn - but once I watched some of Lilith Moons videos I was practically doing it straight away. She explains it so well and I'd highly recommend you watch some of her videos - she has over 70 amazing hair styles that you can recreate! Here is her YouTube site.

This is my proudest achivement !

p.s I didn't mean to cut my face and feet off every shot, the collage maker did that for me. But it turned out pretty cool anyway :)

OOTD: Love/Hate Relationship

Photobucket

Sunglasses: Primark
Tank: from China
Skirt: by Jovonnista
Shoes: New Look

The reason why this post is called what it is called is because I love this skirt so much. Its so beautiful and simple. I hate it because I wore it the other day and fell off the bus really badly and really hurt my knees. I even ripped a big hole in it from the fall - so I had to buy another one, but its so worth it. I just need to remember to lift it up when exiting buses...
