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

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
