VIBRANT VIEWS: YANKEE SCENTED CANDLE IDEAS?



Halloo!
Just thought I'd drop by with a nifty little update of what's been happening during my run up to christmas!,
Having thoroughly spoilt Mr boyfriend, as well as friends and family this christmas I found myself a pondering along the aisles of my local candle shop breathing in the swift warming scents of 'yankee's'.

If your like me Yankee candles are my one weakness...I find it near enough impossible to leave a shop without one, the array of smells are so tempting as well as comforting, although fairly pricey, you can pick up yankee cakes at around £2, a fine concoction of scents which you can place into a lit oil burner a a whole, or if your the keen penny saver you can break them into 4 chunks and use each one sparingly!.
If like me your a fine keeper of yankee jars, when fully burned or used up, clean them out! they make fabulous storage jars for makeup,toiletries,jewellery boxes,and if your the budding burlesque dancer even  stockings, garters and nipple pasties!.

VIBRANT VIEWS: MAC glitter pallet!




Halloo!

So I  decided to treat myself to an early christmas present ( rather naughty I know!) a fair while ago, and as diamonds are a girl's best friend I chose to spend my earnings on a rather sparkly contraption I encountered tucked away on a shelf from jollies, in bath.

I don't often spend alot of money on makeup, but since I preferred to wear this on stage or at other events I concluded it would be a good buy. Anyway on with the deeets!

Mac for me is my favourite makeup brand, mainly because its a good consistent quality at a fair price. Afar from piling layers and layers of less expensive eyeshadows, you can pretty much get away with just 1 or 2 coats of this lovely stuff!, with a gorgeous,creamy consistency its easily blended and looks great on its own or blended with another colour, I found the problem with most other sparkle shadows was when applied, the colour would escape down onto my cheeks kinda tinkerbelles'que (get it?!? haha yeah..) but the jolly wonders at mac have given this a creamy texture so its not so easily transferred to your cheeks!

I really cannot fault this eyeshadow, for the price, its definately worth the money and if you're after that christmas class or pin-up sparkle I highly reccomend!

VIBRANT VIEWS: SHOWGIRL LIFE:RAINBOW GLITTER NAIL VARNISH?




Halloo!

Just thought I'd drop by and add sprinkle a little glitter across the page! I believe a cheeky new vibrant views' is required for this treasured little beauty!, So gok specs on? Hot chocolate at the ready? lets go..

As you can see from the pictures this pot of gluey goodness can be purchased from most highstreet drugstores at an array of different prices, ( Think I paid about £2.90 for mine!)
They are an absaloute barrgain! and last about a week before they begin to chip! Although the sad part of the story is that you do have to apply about 3-4 coats if your after that ' just put my hands up a fairies dress' look, it also gets quite a few compliments, and fantastically (every womans dream may I add!) goes with and jazzes up most outfits!.


So there we have it ladies and gentlemen! A bargaiin priced 'actually decent' nail varnish in a great colour that  lasts longer than most regular nail polishes. goes with almost any outfit and is a real complimenter!' - life sorted! :)


safe keepings! :) x

VIBRANT VIEWS: SHOWGIRL LIFE? : MISS FOOFOO VON LADY GARDEN'S FABULOUS FANCIES!







Hollaa folks!

Thought I'd drop by and chuck in a cheeky blog of one of my favourite websites for all season burlesque and pin-up accessories! As you can see from the rather bold' pictures some of these may not be for the faint hearted! However' I've been a regular customer for yonks' WEWWW!
I found this website on the hunch of browsing google whilst whithering away in extreme amounts of 'skint' thinking I'd have a little gander at this 'saving the pennies business' instead of feeling the guilt everytime I clicked on the 'proceed to checkout' button for some £32 flower necklace I'd insisted on buying, but since alternative/vintage and pin-up jewellery isn't hugely popular on the interweb' Miss foofoo von lady garden was created for us lovelies who like to look a li'l different now and then!.
Sporting the red bandana with my lovely kitty!


With free delivery around the UK and uber cheap prices its a website no Vintage loving woman can resist!, brooches, polka dot facinators, cherry hair bows and clips to nautical, sleepmasks,ponytail ties and a colourful array of bracelets it's almost every womans dream! ..

Now if only they had their own department store!....:)

JEFFERY CAMPBELL VS ALEXANDER MCQUEEN?

So after browsing Alexander Mcqueen's Spring Collection I couldn't help but peer over the slight resemblance of the jeffery campbells wedges in there, maybe a remake? surely not!, Alex Mcqueen has been regardly worldwide known for his unique rather creative shoe collection?....

Alex Mcqueen's posess a more feminine nature within the likes of pastels,whites, florals and on the rare occasion skulls and studds.


Maybe a sly steal figure from Mcqueen here?, this shape hit huge on the summer catwalk 2011-12, as wedges stepped into the limelight for the main season, the difference being Campbell offers a more individual styling to his collections, USA flags,studds, glitter,buckles,etc

Overall both being my top favourite designers I'll swear to love them no matter what collections they bring out!

VIBRANT VIEWS:AMERICAN APPAREL-WETLOOK LEGGINGS?


I recently purchased these wetlook leggings from the American Apparel site!
Since its nearly autumn the nights are starting to draw in and the temperatures decreasing I decided to make a secret shopping dash and came across these beauties!. So after a hasty delivery I couldnt wait to try them on and 'testwore' them on a shopping trip with the girls and an evening out with the boyfriend ..as you do!

Although with a hefty £36.00 pricetag American Apparel is currently flogging them at, the quality is moderately good however a little lacking in the material (a latex/polyester concoction!) and the stitchings are slightly off!. However, unexpectedly they kept my pin's as 'cozy as a cuppa' on a cold evening and are definately warmer than most jeans.. I wore mine with Jeffery Campbell heels,a baggy cardigan and a bandt'shirt - So comfy!.
Although you can get them in most highstreet stores such as primark,topshop and newlook if you'd rather save some pennies!
All in all they are sublimely comfy, (almost as comfy as pyjama's!) and jazz up most outfits - a worthwhile investment if you ask me! :)
