oh sweet treat of mine.

(sorry about the poor photo! have no fear my dears, the camera *hopefully* comes tomorrow!!!) 

Say hello to the new baby of my shoe family! these beauts were an early birthday present to me from, well, myself! Topshop's sale has started and I just had to get these (I got them for £40 down from £80). BARGAIN! 

Have you indulged in any pre-christmas sales? What are your Christmas Eve plans? 

Me and my muma intend on finishing our present wrapping then sitting down with some Christmassy beverages and watch Elf! (film4, 7:15)

I hope you all have an absolutely wonderful evening, make sure your rooms are tidy (otherwise Santa won't come in and leave your stocking at the end of your bed!), I hope your Christmas is filled with a lot of laughter and happiness :) 

lots of CHRISTMAS love!

christmas sparkle

I'm not a big make-up junkie as you may well have guessed by now, and this isn't a make-up blog, but I just wanted to do a little post on this little nail varnish I picked up the other day... 

In superdrug at the mo they have 3for2 on all cosmetics, so whilst I was in there to grab a new eyeliner I got suckered into the deal! I ended up buying two Barry M nail varnishes whilst I was at it! 

I got this gorgeous Red Glitter nail paint as well as the infamous Barry M 'Nail Effects'. 

After two coats of the polish you are left with beautiful glittery goodness! I LOVE my nails, granted the colour isn't for all year round usage, but I'm loving them during the christmas week!!! I feel like they are the nail version of Dorothy's shoes!  Soooo much love for this! 

Are you girlies painting your nails all festive-y?!

P.S 

countdown (please excuse the tackiness of this):

CHRISTMAS -5 days

MY BIRTHDAY -7 days

P.P.S

Incase you where wondering about the Barry M Nail Effects polish, I didn't like it at all. I think it's a very clever concept, but did not like the end finish at all (and yes I followed instructions correctly- no overlapping etc). So I gave it to my best friend, hopefully she'll have more luck :) 

jingle bells, jingle bells

Yesterday I got stranded at my best friends house, no car or public transport could come to get me, so I walked! The snow was SO hard to walk in and when I got home I felt like I had just done a hardcore gym workout! But, something made up for the treacherous journey; my mum made beef stew & mince pies! OOOOOOOH YEAH! 

beef stew oh so yummy and uh-mayyyziiiing / my favourite- butterscotch angel delight / warm mince pies fresh out the oven / finished product! / a few presents that i wrapped!  

Are you feeling all christmassy today? me and my mum have had the christmas music blaring, christmas present wrapping session, i've even been making my own gift tags for the presents a la Michelle! 

This time next week and it'll all be over girlies! Not for me though, its my 20th birthday one week and one day away! I'm more excited about my birthday than christmas, I have oh so many plans :D 

NYE dresses sorted yet girlies? 

muchos love, xoxo AVS 

p.s i KNOW the photos are so grainy and i apologise, however one week and these posts will be filled with beautiful high quality pictures for you! :D

Sitting by the fire...

...reading a good book blog.

Girlies, I know I'm not following the trend here and follow Friday is on..well, Friday, haha! But here are 4 blogs for you to take a peek at, they're a few of the blogs that I look at every day and really enjoy reading! 

Anchor Of Roses

 Beth is a 23 year old girly from Wales with two gorgeous cats! I love her blog for its 'outfit' posts, weekly rundown's, as well as 'currently' posts which she talks about what she's liking and feeling at the mo and posts full of hot totty such as Ed Westwick! Another thing I really like about Beth's blog is that she's not afraid to talk about pressing issues in the blogging world such as this one. 

daisybutter.

Michelle's blog is one of the most consistent and fun blogs around at the moment, from Outfit posts nearly every day to Wednesday Wants to DIY posts, there is always something new and fresh to read. Michelle is a Twitter freak aswell so when she's not posting, you can keep up to date with what she's up to :) 

Who Is She? 

One of the funniest blogs I read, Who Is She? has this air of mystery surrounding it as RAY never posts a pic of herself (apart from on the RARE occasion!) The blog features regular 'Whats Haute and Whats not', Monthly Favourites, and guest posts from JEM! 

A Twenty-Something

I've only just found this blog like a month ago and I love it! Kelly posts an outfit nearly every day, she has absolutely amazing style and can totally rock vintage pieces that I will never be able to. And total hair envy as well! Kelly's outfit photos are so inspirational, I get new ideas for outfits every time I visit, I dare you not to!!!! 

I hope you enjoy the blogs girlies, it's so snowy where I am so I'm stuck indoors, going to make it an epic blog reading evening.

 Have you got any blog suggestions for me? 

take care if your going outside! 

muchos love, xoxo avs

animal talk...

Going with a big cat theme tonight... Max Power said to me yesterday that it has been a while since he'd made an appearance on ze blog, so here he is last night.  Such a cutie right...? And if you say no then you're a meany! haha. 

This is the outfit I wore out shopping yesterday, the leopard print top is from H&M, Jeans are Primark, wedges are New Look and I topped it all off with a Cape coat from Primark [I haven't posted about it yet but I will :)] I had my hair trimmed yesterday just to freshen it up but I also had a wee fringe did, all prepared for my hair extensions on the 28th. wooooo. 

I got 98% of my christmas shopping done yesterday, and wrapped them all last night! So good, loadsa pressies under the tree. Still got a few bits to get my mum, she's so difficult! 

What are you girlies getting your mum's for christmas? And who is your worst person to buy presents for? 

Peace out chica's. xoxo AVS

fujifilm camera-available at argos; poncho- new look; ring, belt, bag & boots- topshop

lovely girlies, here is my wildest wednesday wishes with a christmas twist: these aren't wishes... 

they are all already purchased by my mum and dad thanks to my specific christmas list this year. 

"scrooge!" i hear you shout. 

yes yes i know the excitement of christmas is the surprise of presents but i have one flaw: i'm terrible at the "ahhh i think this is so disgusting but im gonna smile and act eternally grateful" face...

can't wait for the 25th just so i can start using all these beautiful things. 

also, i'm turning the big 2-0 on the 27th, and both my parents are stuck for what to get me seeing as what i wanted is all those things above 

(i hate having the present picking thing twice in two days; the other 363 are so boring!) 

any cool gadgets that i could ask for? i'm considering asking for some posh hair extensions? 

thoughts perleeeease! 

PEACE OUT 

xoxo avs

furry fun...

Love what my girly Sindy is wearing, I need the faux fur stole in my life! But I refuse to pay £25 for the one from Topshop when she paid £10 from H&M!!! BOO! 

Sorry the image is very dark, you gotta be easy on me until I get my camera!

 Brought these cute little wedge heels from New Look on Friday when I was shopping with my bestie Sindy. They were only £24.99... I've been looking for a pair of heeled shoes that I could wear in the day time for ages now and actually went in to New Look to buy a pair of heeled Military boots, I found something much more versatile instead I feel :) 

peace out chica's, 

 xoxo avs 


p.s do you have twitter? tweet me and i'll follow you. i love to know what everyones talking about :) 

face-off ROUND UP: part 2

caution: style overload:

So here we are girlies, this is the end of the X Factor Face-off;  I present to you the one and only, fabulous- Ms Dannii Minogue and her style diaries!

Its fair to say that Dannii Minogue is the X Factor 2010 Style Queen, beating Cheryl Cole in the fashion stakes nearly every week. Dannii has worn some Uh-mayzingggg gowns and dresses this year by some equally amazing designers and I hope that if she returns to our screens next year then she'll blow us away- even more! 

Oh and I have taken into consideration the 20 different looks from each lady over the 10 weekends and the final score looks like this: 

Dannii Minogue -  14

Cheryl Cole -     6

Do you agree with the final scores? Was Cheryl the style queen 2010 for you? 

Thank you so much for all your comments on the face-off posts :) 

xoxo avs 

Face-off ROUND UP part 1.

Alright girls, I'm sorry to have to do this to you, but it's only fair I show you all 20 looks from Cheryl over the past 10 weeks of the X Factor.  Cheryl has had some real highs and lows this this season...

In all honesty my favourite look from Cheryl has to be her final look from last night. Chez wore a gorgeous J. Mendel gown with her hair in a very suited style, she complemented with some very cute earrings. (I'm not even going to talk about the outfit that was a disaster on saturday nights show...)

As much as I'm going miss all the gorgeous looks from Dannii and Rebecca I'm kinda glad X Factor is over now, the show became less about singing this year and more about Politics (wagner-gate) and the judges bickering between themselves... How many times did Dermot try to address the judges and they didn't hear because they were arguing? 

Cheryl definitely lost her spark this year... Lets hope she can represent Britain in the US X Factor in more classy gowns next year... 

part two is coming up at 5pm :)

xoxo avs
