My very 1st ASOS purchase!

When I was in London I met up with a gorgeous girlfriend of mine. And while we were having drinks & dinner I just couldn't stop checking out and admiring her GORGEOUS handbag. I just loved it.
She told me it was an ASOS purchase & at the pretty small cost of only £29, I could hardly believe it because it looked so expensive and fabulous! So...I will be honest....I ended up going to ASOS.com & finding the bag...and then I couldn't resist the "add to Bag" button! Sorry my dear Kate, I admit it, I am a complete copycat! But I hope you can see it as a compliment, because you are SO super stylish :) ♥

This was my first ever ASOS purchase & I was so excited when it arrived! Gosh online shopping is so much fun! Lo and behold here it is my beautiful new bag:

What do you girls think? 

If you like it, you can check it out at ASOS.com here.

Ps: can I just briefly utter my disgust here on Lady Gaga's "raw meat" dress she wore the other day at the MTV VMA's? I don't want to post a picture of this gross outfit on my blog so if you don't know what outfit I am talking about then check it out by clicking this link. Honestly; being artistic, creative and out there is admiring but this....I can almost find no words to describe it! Yuck...

FREE Chanel Mascara:)

It's GLAMOUR magazine 5th Birthday in The Netherlands and they celebrated this with a BIG Birthday issue. I couldn't resist picking it up because of the FREE Chanel Mascara it came with! C'mon we all love free goodies right? :)

The BIG Birthday Glamour Issue with a cute little Chanel Notebook

And TADA hidden inside the little notebook is the FREE Mascara! 

Ok when I opened it I was a teeny bit disappointed with the size of the product, because it is incredibly small, but hey free is free right and you can't look a gift horse in the mouth ;)

Chanel inimitable intense

What is promises: "This technologically advanced formula builds on the success of the original mascara, delivering dramatic effects with a unique brush. The result is a more intense lash look, with the same easy application. Lashes appear longer, thicker and more curled, yet each lash, even the finest, is still precisely separated – without clumping, spiking or flaking." (as per Chanel website)

I had never tried a Chanel Mascara before so was very keen to see if this lived up to its expectations. I was truly impressed with the brush applicator. It really separates your lashes while making them thicker & longer. There was no flaking and the mascara lasted the whole day. Great product but pretty pricey at £29/€34! What do you ladies think of Chanel mascara, worth the money? 

Bday Memories & a little blue box!

During the summer holidays (on 4 August to be exact) it was my birthday! What age you ask? Ok ok, I'll tell you, I turned 26 years old :) Sigh the years are just flying by. Anyways, I spend the day with my parents in Bologna, Italy. We had a lovely time exploring the old city sights, shopping and eating delicious Italian food! Because my birthday always fell right bang in the middle of the European Summer holidays whilst growing up, my parents never bought me a birthday present ahead of time. I always just found things I wanted (like those stupid gimmicky items street people sell....) and then my parents would buy them for me and say, ok this is for your birthday! So again while on holiday with them this year, they hadn't bought me a present (saves lugging it around with you while traveling) and they said, during the holiday we'll just find something you like! So then it came to my birthday and we hadn't found me a present! LOL think it's because I am now at the mature age (pfff) of no longer wanting silly touristy or gimmicky stuff and any shopping, like clothes, I just paid for out of my own pocket.

However, one of my (every year) birthday present wishes is something new from Tiffany & Co...to expand my lovely little collection. (For example last year I ended up buying myself a present from there, I mean a single girl can spoil herself on her birthday right?) There is an ever growing lust list in my head from Tiffany & Co and I had talked to my parents & we'd said that when we'd return from holiday we'd look for a present for me from my all time favourite shop (T&C). However, whilst browsing the shops in Bologna, what did we all of a sudden stumble across? YES a Tiffany & Co store! Sooo my mum and dad were the sweetest and bought me these earrings that I have wanted for years!! Thought I would show them to you, I love love them so much! ♥ Then again think I love everything that comes in a little blue box! ;)

Again thanks Mum & Dad, you are the best :)
