Early last month, I stumbled upon this very shirt in the Primark Men’s section for only £8.00! I was incredibly excited as I had been eyeing up a similar shirt from Jack Will’s, but was happy to find that not only was this one cheaper (Way cheaper), it was nicer too! I showed it to you lovely lot in my last haul video, and I got a comment from one of my subbies asking me to please style it! So I did!

Warwick Avenue.

BEAUTY
December 7 2010

I love this nail polish soo much! It was a freebie a few Glamour issues ago, and my sister managed to get her mits on it! I borrowed it from her last month, and she let me keep it! What a sweetheart! Warwick Avenue (Nails Inc London) is a soft nude pink peach, with a silky finish, that applies really smoothly. It’s around £11, so it’s a bit on the pricey side, but the colour is just gorgeous, and I’m glad to have got it free! Hehe. ^.^ Here I applied two coats. I’m really into pink nail varnishes, and I’d… Read More »

The models also showcased four looks created by LCF graduate Nikki Palmer, using the Brush With Fashion palettes. After the… Read More »
