GOLDEN GLOBES 2012

Unless you've been in a coma for the past two days, I am sure you're all fully aware that the annual Golden Globes took place this week. As the opening event of the red carpet season, it was the first time to see our favourite A-listers take to the red carpet in 2012.

Here are my fave beauty pics of the night:

For me, Reese Witherspoon, Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel all looked incredible with their simple, tousled locks. Reese and Jessica opting for low-key natural curls with plenty of volume; and Kate having a swept up do' with a small quiff. Love- natural, yet still glam.

 Heidi Klum looked insane in her floor-length pale backless gown, accessorized with a statement turquoize blue necklace. I love her nude lip, copper eyes and bronzed skin teamed with straight highlighted hair - ultimate californian chic.

Jessica Alba had to be one of my favourite looks of the night. Her strapless, floor length, lilac embellished gown looked absolutely gorgeous against her dewy tanned skin. Glossy hair pulled up into a neat side-parted do' with fluffy looking lashes and a nude lilac lip - GORGE.

Did you watch the Golden Globes? Who did you think looked best?

HOGMANAY 2011//EDINBURGH

I'm usually someone who really does not care about New Years Eve. There is always so much pressure to do something, and it has to be something good- that I'd much rather just chill out with friends and forget all about it! Then there is always the issue of 'do you see your boyfriend or friends?!' ...

As me and Chris have been together for 6 New Years now, we've sort of been having a 'NYE together' 'NYE apart' thing going on for the past few years and this year was our 'NYE together!'

My friend Fran goes to university in Edinburgh so invited us up there to celebrate with her friends, boyfriend etc and so me, Chris and some friends from home decided to visit her and go to the Hogmanay street parties and I'm so glad I did as it was fab!! There were thousands of people there - and despite deciding to wear heels (foolish mistake) it was a really good night and changed my mind on 'New Years Eve is crap!'

So even though it feels like a while ago now, I hope you all had a fun New Years Eve. I'm still working on a resolution - maybe to blog more?! Ideas please as I'm pretty useless XO

1)Me and Chris on our way to the street party (note: heels seemed like a good idea at this point)

2)Some friends from home we met up with in Edinburgh

3) Happy New Year fireworks!

4)Me and my pal Alex who came back from Bordeaux, France for New Year XXX

For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne

Christmas Time

Carrying on from my last post - I'm still updating you guys on last year! So just a quickie..
This year my sister and I cooked our Christmas Turkey! With our matching Cath Kidston aprons we managed to do a pretty good job (If i say so myself) No one got poisoned/threw up/otherwise- pretty successful!
It was a lovely quiet day, got spoilt and spent some much needed time with the fam. I hope all of yours was equally as relaxing!
XO

December Catch Up

So- it's time to apologise again. I've been slacking on the blogging front... but I promise to try a lot harder this year and keep myself motivated! I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and New Year- I've been snowwed under with uni deadlines so far this January (excuses for my lack of blogging) but here is what I've been up to before, during and after Christmas.

December catch-up in pictures!

Photos 1,2 and 3 were all taken at my fave restaurant: Gusto. Over Christmas I spent way too much  time at both the Knutsford and Alderley Edge restaurants feasting on Chicken Primavera and their insane Nutella Calzone - so if you have a Gusto near you you have to go.

1) Nutella Calzone - possibly the best desert ever.

2) Me, in Gusto Knutsford before Christmas

3) My girlies Alex and Frankie.

Photos 4 and 5 are of my pretty mama. She had an operation in December, and despite complications is finally on the road to recovery! yayy XX

4) Harry visiting mama on Christmas Eve

5) Some beautiful 'Get Well Soon' flowers

6) My festive themed bed.... Okay so I still haven't taken down these fairylights but they just look too pretty- Decided to keep them up all year round instead!!

Photos 7 & 8 were taken before Christmas at the One Direction tour in Wolverhampton. Luckily, I was able to go with Gemma and Harry's family meaning best seats & backstage haha. It was a fab night though and the boys were great.

7) My bezzle, Gemma and I 

8) One Direction performing

9) Before my mum went into hospital she decided to buy a tonne of Selfridges cupcakes to fatten us all up over the Christmas season. These were just a few of the amazing cakes we ate

Photos 10 & 11 are of myself and girlfriend Lani as we went on a MASSIVE winter walk just before Christmas with one of her friends little dog Eddie - so frickin cute.

12) This was actually taken at the beginning of December (my bad) but, it was at Gemma's twenty-first and therefore a large event of the month! Me, my mama, Gem's mama: Anne, and Gemma. <3 xxx
