A very 'Wedding' Weekend

My OOTD

Engagement cake

Bridesmaid's Flowers

As summer comes to a close I had one last wedding to attend this season of my lovely cousin and his fiancée! The night before we had also a surprise engagement party for my flatmate so I was very much feeling the love (and a little hungover) by Sunday night. I thought I would share some pictures of the beautiful day.

Have you been to many weddings this year? 

Do you Have a go to formal outfit/ hair/ make-up look?

Hair today, Gone tomorrow

Sweeney Todd? 

All smiles with my freshly chopped mop

For anybody who knows me, it's a well known fact that I HATE the hairdresser. In my entire 23 years on this plant I have only had around 3 haircuts that i've not truly disliked. I don't know if its my hair type (crazy curly and uber thick) or if they just never listen to me but I alway end up leaving fighting back the tears and repeating over to myself 'It's only hair, it will grow back'. Being in Montreal all of last year was the perfect excuse for me just to not get it cut due to the language barrier (I really will use any excuse) but after 14 months of colouring, curling and sub zero temperatures the time came for me to finally get rid of my dead ends. Luckily for me, two of my close girlfriends informed me that they have been cutting their own hair for the past few years and offered to give mine a quick snip! Result, a free (much needed) haircut in the hands of someone I trust! It took them a grand total of 4 and a half minutes to go from a bit of a birds nest to much more manageable curls and I love it! 

Are you a hairdresser lover or hater?

Any bad hairdresser experiences??

Niki de Saint Phalle @ MoMA | Glasgow

 Had a wee trip into Glasgow's museum of modern art today to check out the Niki de Saint Phalle exhibition that is currently on. I don't know much about this particular late, French born artist, apart from the fact that she is the artists behind the mosaic panels in front of the museum. On entering the uppermost gallery, You are engulfed in a world of colour and statues. Almost everyone on the surface seems bright, even childish. Until you look at the figures and art more closely, where the artists dark and slightly tormented past seems to emerge to the surface. Niki de Saint Phalle largest and most extravagant work takes form in her outdoor 'Tarot Gardens' Italy. (Another place to visit on the list) Where she depicts the themes in the tarot cards in a magnitude of wire, cement and an array of brightly coloured tiles.

This collection will continue to be on show until the 27th October @ MoMA Glasgow

Have any of you visited this exhibition? 

Or visited the Tarot Gardens in Italy?

Barry M's Limited Edition Summer Nail Paint... Get Them While They Are Hot....Pink!

Barry M Nail Paint - Limited Edition | 'Pink' 2013 Summer

Summer is pretty much over, most stores have ditched the BBQ gear and halloween themed candy is already filling the shelves but thankfully you can still grab this lavish limited edition summer nail paint in 'PINK' (yes... that is all it's called?!) This was the first Nail Paint that I picked up since returning to the UK in May and i have fallen head over heels for the shade and its application - It keeps a slight translucency so you can still see the whites of your nails even though the colour is pretty pigmented. I am a hard core lover of black outfits and I am truly devoted to bright, borderline neon, nails to brighten up my outfits... and on rainy days! So quick guys... go down and grab yourself this nail paint while you still can!! only £3.99 from Superdrug and Boots. 

What has been your 'go to' summer shade that you are going to miss this A/W??

Super Healthy Kale Smoothie

 Want a quick and easy, super healthy breakfast? Well look no further than this kale smoothie.

first you can add bananas, oranges, blueberries and raspberries (a mix of fresh and frozen fruit is best to keep the smoothie chilled and still full of goodness). Then add a handful of washed chopped fresh kale and drizzle with a fruit juice of your choice (make sure it is a fruit juice and not a 'juice drink'). Blitz in a smoothie maker or food processor until smooth. Serve in a cold glass to kickstart your morning.

Lush Goodies | Ultimate Shine Solid Shampoo Bar

(source)

Ultimate Shine Solid Shampoo Bar

I have been a massive fan of Lush's solid shampoo bars for so long. They are perfect for traveling and on short trips or beach holidays when you don't want to be carrying bottle after bottle of cosmetics and toiletries. Before my recent trip to Amsterdam I headed into my nearest Lush store to pick one up and after a wee chat with the ever s helpful Lush staff I decided to go for this, Ultimate Shine bar. Lush have changed back the recipe of there bars so they lather much better than they did before so that was a massive plus. This bar really did live up to its name, just after one wash (and with no other products) my hair was super soft and even managed to tame my frizzy hair in the Amsterdam heat! The sent on this bar isn't as strong as some of the stores other products but it leaves your hair smelling fresh but not overpowering. Ultimately I can't wait to use this bar again next time I go away on a little holiday to give my hair a shiny treat, and for just £5.50 I think its pretty good bargain too!

Have you tried any of the Lush solid shampoo bars?
