Smokey Eyes and Brows (What Pencil ?)

Line up, line up! I have hand picked out some eye and brow pencils, some of them i personally own myself. These in my opinion are the must haves for autumn/winter. Create that smokey dark eye effect. I just love make up and own so many different brands myself. i love the look of dark smokey eyes especially in the winter months. 

1. We have Rimmel eyebrow pencil Hazel, maybe mix it with a dark brown.

Superdrugs or Boots

Bargain at £2.99 

                         2. Maybelline eye studio master khol liner.

Superdrugs or Boots

£4.49

3. Smokin' eyes make over kit. Now i bought this yesterday and i'm loving it.

Benefit £28.50 from Debenhams

4. bourjois smokey eye pencil ultra black

Superdrugs or boots 

£5.49

5. Now this is truly a great purchase, i own rather a lot of Mac make up.

Mac is very long lasting, not only it goes on well but also it's used for stage make up and films.

I would highly recommend Mac to anyone, it doesn't come cheap but worth every penny.

Mac Cosmetics

£12-15

6. Chanel eyeliner pencil, just one of my favourite make up items in my collection.

I first bought this item a while ago it cost me about £19.00

Well worth it due to it being waterproof.

So let me know your thoughts, I'm always looking for the next best thing.

Whats your favourite make up item you own?

Autumn clothing Range H&M 2012/13

I just love H&M i do seem to buy rather a lot of clothes from there. So i have started to look for some new Autumn and Winter clothes, well to be perfectly honest i just need jumpers and cardigans. I would be lying if i told you i didn't have many clothes, cause lets face it us girls can never have enough clothes. I also would like to treat myself to a new pair of tan leather high knee boots, i have seen a pair in Kurt Geiger so i may purchase them, but i think i will have a little look around first.

I love fashion, i wouldn't say i wear all fashions, i like to be picky at what i wear. I tend to have my own style with the twist of other peoples influences. I would say that's the same for most people, well the people i know anyway.

London At Home

So i have thrown together some amazing items with an English feel to it.
I'm loving the idea of this cushion below it shows the names of some of the best British markets that London has to offer, it's a great way to be reminded of some of them. I would definitely say Portobello road market is my favourite.  I was recently there when i went to Notting hill carnival. I've always loved London and really enjoy going into central London as much as i can. I have brought this English twist of flags and victorian theme into my own house. These are just a few items that really inspire me.

Barbour & Hunter

Fabulously british

So here are the Royal of outdoor jackets and wellingtons.

I personally just love Barbour and Hunter.

I own a pair of black gloss Hunter wellington boots and the jacket below.  These are some of my favourite brands to wear. Living in England where it rains a lot, i find wearing my Hunters and Barbour really useful. They are both really warm and they are both waterproof, this allows me to stay in trend, dry and still look stylish when i'm walking my dog.

Hard Rock Cafe London

One of my favourites....Well definately my mother's favourie place to eat..!!!  
So let me tell you we have been here six times in four weeks...."no i'm not joking" It seems everytime Mother and i are in town we feel the need to go there.

Standing on Old Park Lane since June 14th 1971, this is the one that started it all. Hard Rock Cafe is a chain of theme restaurants founded in 1971 by Americans Peter Morton & Isaac Tigrett. The cafe attracted customers from  all over the world, with it's American style themed restaurant (available no-where else in London or the UK at the time), warm service, Rock 'n' Roll music and sensibility - Hard Rock Cafe London became an instant classic.

Still housing the first ever piece of memorabilia donated to the Hard Rock Cafe, Eric Clapton's Lead II Fender, originally donated to reserve a space at the busy bar, the London Cafe is as charming and authentic now as it was 40 years ago. You will find many of the original serving staff still work the floor here today too! The Cafe is also as famous as ever around town for attracting the best rock stars down for a burger and the occasional "jamming session".

So this is called a"hot fudge brownie" just one of my favourites, this is what i had yesterday. Price about £5.75

And this is what my mother had, hot fudge sundae around £5.75 the same as mine. You could definitely share this desert (well if your a sharer) "i'm not) haha. If you have never been there you my try it. You will find you will have to book a table, if you just turn up you could be looking at around about 30-45 minutes wait.  It's predominantly American food like burgers, fries, shakes but if you fancy something else then try one of the salads, i recommend the Haystack chicken salad.

Harrods Pet Kingdom

So i'm off to Harrods tomorrow afternoon with my mother for afternoon tea, we will visit the wedding section and Pet Kingdom. I have been there many times before and bought treats for my chihuahua Lola. There are many sections to the shop, you have a fabulous pet spa designed for the cutest of small animals. A puppy and kitten section and there is also  mice and gerbils for sale. This is truly a girls heaven (well it is for me).They sell everything you can think of from clothes to shoes, cupcakes to sweets, louis vuitton dog carriers and four poster beds. It's like being in a scene from Legally Blonde. I just love it.

I have read many reviews on Pet Kingdom, some of the one's that i read wasn't very good.
A lot of people have mentioned the way the animals are kept and that the pricing was to high for the average person to pay. My response to that is "lets face it"  it's Harrods, It's not like you are at your local pet store, or buying a dog from your local news paper. I think you need to remember that when you are buying a animal you like to think of them being very well looked after, and for me Harrods have never shown any kind of cruelty. All the Animals there are very well kept. Everytime i go there i just want to buy one!

So as i said this is not my first time, and it wont be my last.
I am always very excited about going there, i always bring treats back for little lola who is also very tiny and a blonde chihuahua. I've mentioned just below a little of the spa service, i have seen this done before, the animals love it. Well don't you love a spa day too?

The ultimate personal pet grooming service has arrived in London. 

Offering a dedicated retreat for Harrods smallest VIPs (Very Important Pets), The Pet Spa at Harrods promises a whole menu of animal friendly services including behavioural counselling, full body massages and animal reiki as well as nutritional advice, personal training sessions and grooming. Owners can also choose from signature treatments including thalassotherapy mud baths, blueberry and vanilla facials, deluxe pedicures and even book their pets onto a full Spa Day Experience.

Take a look for yourself Pet Kingdom
