Meet my new Kurt Geiger's! This was love at first sight and they were in the sale. Perfect.
To me, the January sales are mostly full of old clothes in odd sizes, that people seem to buy because its cheap... although they would probably never have looked at the item if it were full price. You get home, look at your shopping and think whyyyy did I even buy that? However, saying that, there are some absolute gems in the sales! I had to share my favourite buy of Jan '11... It's the Reiss 'Maddi' denim biker jacket, and even though I admit it is a size too small, my logic was that denim stretches out and also luckily it fits ok. For £27 from £139, how could I not buy it!

So, my love for Marc Jacobs first started when I was 16 and lay my eyes upon the Stam. My 18th birthday rolled around and having wanted a Marc for so long, I thought I would use some inheritence from my grandparents and it could be like their 18th birthday present to me.
I went to London and as soon as I walked in the shop, instantly changed my mind from the Stam and bought the Alyona. It is timeless and just gorgeous.
Carrying the oversized, white Marc Jacobs carrier bag around was just as exciting as the prospect of what was inside.
My favourite Marc Jacobs find, some may even call this a top bargain hunt, was in the Paris store in the summer. Me and my good friend Amy could not, and would not, walk past without going in and feeling up all the clothes and lusting over the handbags. We spotted some bright pink, blue and yellow purses at the till for 12 euros. Marc Jacobs for £9! We were sold. I have a deep love for Marc, a deep love for Paris and together they threw me a wonderful surprise.

Just a little link to my good friend and fellow bridget, Amy Tomlinson. The first day I met this girl, I knew from then on she was going to be there for every major, minor, stupid, funny, important and not so important times in my life. So far, I have been 100% correct! Anyway, this girl is a simply wonderful stylist so check her out! http://aymetom.blogspot.com/ and http://www.amytomstyling.com/
And to finish this off, heres a few shots she did of me a while ago for her final project... she's a talented lady.

Having stumbled across London based nail salon, WAH Nails, I instantly fell in love. With their unique patterns and absolutely incredible nail art, I wanted them and I wanted them now.
I decided to ask for a box full of nail art pens for Christmas, in every colour you can imagine, so I could give this nail art business a go. As well as being incredibly fun it is also a fantastic distraction from coursework. The best Christmas present anyone can give a student (apart from the beautiful Links of London bracelet my amazing boyfriend got me. I'm not one to boast) Anyway, it's fun having crazy nails! Here's a few pictures of my efforts.
