Lazy Sunday Afternoons

I love lazy Sunday afternoons. Nothing beats a delectable devonshire tea with the ladies. Sometimes I think I would love to be one of those graceful older dames, layered in pearls who spend their days lunching with the ladies. Ahh - if only life were a Pride and Prejudice novel.

Beauty Fav of the Week

I'm freaking obsessed with OPI's My Chihuahua Bites! It's a cross between 

watermelon pink and a vibrant coral. L-O-V-E.

Wise words

"Okay, so you're probably going, "Is this like a Noxzema commercial or what?" 

But seriously, I actually have a way normal life for a teenage girl."

DIY - Silhouette Pillow

During one of my many shopping sprees I saw an amazing Queen Elizabeth II silhouette pillow. I fell in love with it instantly but at $200 I found myself thinking I could make it myself for a lot less. So I added it to my DIY to do list and today I finally had some time to attempt my first DIY tutorial.

[The supplies - pillow case, acrylic or fabric paint, freezer paper (available at Spotlight), Sharpie, mini
Stanley knife and a print out of the image you want to use]

[ Place the Freezer Paper over your image and use your Sharpie to draw an outline]

[Using your stanley knife, slice out everything inside the outline. Once you have cut out your silhouette place the paper waxy side down and iron over the paper. The waxy side will stick to your fabric allowing you to paint our silhouette without the paint bleeding outside the template.]

[Mix up the colour you want your silhouette to be - I wanted mine to be pink so squeezed
 a lot of white and then added a little bit of red until I got the colour I was looking for] 

[Apply your paint, let it dry for half a hour then add your second coat if
you need it. Because my fabric was striped I needed 3 coats. Once your last coast is dry simply
peel away the freezer paper and your will be left with your beautiful silhoutte. You can even
keep your template to use on another pillow]

 

I'm in Heaven

It's that time of year again! The Victoria Secret's Angels sashayed down the runway at Lexington Avenue Armory, leaving a cloud of glitter and drooling men in their wake. This years Angels came out to play with performances by Maroon 5, Nicki Minaj, Kayne West and a surprise appearance by the King of Hip-Hop himself, Jay-Z.  The show stopping extravaganza boasted six themes, 31 pairs of wings, 38 models and an astounding 69 looks were sent down the runway.

So just what does it take to be an Angel? While some claim to have fast metabolisms, Adriana Lima tells it how it is - she has been working out every day with a personal trainer since August. For the last three weeks, she's been working out twice a day! "It is really intense, it's not really the amount of time you spend working out, it's the intensity: I jump rope, I do boxing, I lift weights, but I get bored doing that. If I am not moving I get bored very easily." Phew - time to hit the gym!
