Thank you M&S

I would like to thank Marks and Spencers for bringing me a Christmas treat in the form of DCI Gene Hunt (actor Philip Glenister) in their recent Christmas advert. And yes I know he is an old man, but I don't care I love him!!! We have a cheeky picture of him on our kitchen wall, yum!
Look at the video on you tube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vbqN9bB1MI

Faux Fur Deerstalker Hat

I really want a faux fur deerstalker hat for the cold winter months, but I think I might look like a twat! Thoughts?

Pictures I Love

Some of the photo shoots for Vogue magazine are just phenomenal. One of my favourites is the one which Tim Burton did in respect to all of his films, one picture of Helena Bonham Carter in the glass elevator is so beautifully shot that I even have it on my wall! Here are some pictures which I just love, including the Lady Gaga photoshoot for Vogue shot by the legendary Annie Leibovitz.

Woop - My Grazia feature

When I attended the ASOS Beauty and The Blogger evening I was interviewed by the lovely Alexander from Grazia magazine which was so exciting as normally I have to talk to the press about work, but this time it was all about me. Here are bits from the feature on Graziadaily.co.uk - please note that I was quiet tipsy when this picture was taken that is why I look so horrific (that is why I choose not to put it on here!) Go and look at the feature this is the link http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/beauty/archive/2009/10/30/tips-from-the-beauty-bloggers.htm

Here is my interview:

Grazia Daily: You won the ASOS blog competition, congrats!

Kim: Thanks, I had to create a Christmas beauty look so I did simple black eyes, red lips and used 40s rollers in my hair. So many people go OTT at Christmas with glitter and anything they can find, I just wanted to keep it simple.

Grazia Daily: What’s a classic beauty faux-pas?

Kim: Lip liner. I know it’s meant to stop your lip-colour bleeding but it’s so hard to match properly. And lipstick is so much better than it used to be anyway, I really love the MAC deep plum one and Rimmel’s basic reds.

Grazia Daily: Who is your beauty icon?

Kim: Paloma Faith, I love her hair! And Dita von Teese because I like the 40s look.

The 'Louboutin' Manicure

For all of us who will probably never have the funds to buy our own Louboutin shoes we can have a slight feeling what it is like to own a pair of the red soled dreams by getting a Louboutin Manicure at the Charles Worthington salon in London. Zoe Pocock from the salon designed the technique where the underside of your nail is painted with the shocking red colour and the topside is painted in a colour of your choice! You may have to get false nails if you bite them as much as me! Sounds great though.

Stop, No More Shoes!

Doing shoe research for work is really not a good idea! I have found so many which I love!!
These ASOS bubble suede shoes with the pink strap are lush, mmmh £95, I think I will wait until the sale.
The Charlotte Olympia wedges! (£555 ouch!)and the Brian Atwood suede leather pumps (£565 eek!) Where is a rich husband when you need one!

Kat Von D Makeup

For those of you who watch too much TV you might already be aware of the tattooed floozy that is Kat Von D after she was filmed in the series Miami Ink which followed the day in the life of a tattoo parlour. She became such a hit that French makeup brand Sephora asked her to design her own line of makeup which is suppose to exemplifies old-Hollywood glamour with an L.A. vibe, whatever!, I just love this solid perfume ring. Unfortunately it only comes in a size 7 which according to Sephora fits most fingers, well obviously I have sausage fingers because it would only fit on my little finger! If you have normal sized fingers I would snap one up as they are only $30 (approx £18) and are available from the Sephora website, www.sephora.com.

Hold on a hot picking moment, ASOS you are spoiling us!

Ok, so I am the new ASOS bitch because of my recent win, but this is fab if you sign up to ASOS premier for £24.95 you will receive free delivery, returns and collections on all your order for a full 12 months! Pretty disco if like me you order something at least once a month from the site which costs around £3.95 a pop for standard delivery (which btw normally turns up in about 2 working days...if the posties are not striking that is!) saving around £22.45 a year which you could put towards this totally sexual embellished number (£95), perfect for the Crimbo party!

Hair in Rags

So I ragged my hair last night to make my hair really curly so I can back comb it tonight for Halloween...here is the outcome!
But I think the prize for Halloween outfit must go to my flat-mate Jade who made it look like her face had been ripped off and her teeth were showing through her cheek! Good girl, taking Halloween to the extreme!

All the pics

Here are all the pictures from the ASOS Beauty and the Bloggers evening, the clothes and shoes are all ASOS Black which is now on their site and the makeup will be up soon! Brilliant!!

ASOS Goodie Bag

So not only did I get an invite to the Beauty and The Bloggrs event, tasty food, yummy champagne, hair styling and a play with all the fabulous makeup they also gave us a goodie bag when we left. Having never recieved one before I was so excited and we both jumped up and down with excitement when we found inside was some of the new ASOS nail varnish (which Ezma is loving) and...and...£100 voucher to spend on ASOS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Burning a hole in my pocket today the voucher was swifty spent on lots of things (£100 goes a long way on ASOS) including some jeggings, a beautiful vintage style headband, a Cath Kidston luggage tag (to spruce up my old suitcase for San Fran next week) and an amazing Suzy Smith leopard print bag!!!! I am so excited for these to turn up.
THANK YOU ASOS!!

ASOS Beauty and The Bloggers

I would like to thank ASOS for a brilliant evening at last nights Beauty and The Bloggers event, the champagne was flowing and the canapes were perfect! (That's how I judge an event!!). They had an amazing selection of beauty products for us all to try out, one of my favourites was the POP day to play clutch which came with every eye shadow colour you could possibly need and the benefit makeup which is always a favourite. Also we had a go on the famous ASOS catwalk!!
How amazing are these Illamasqua false eye lashes, these will be perfect for a Christmas party I'm going to have to get myself a pair.
I will pop all the pictures up of me and my flatmate getting our hair and nails done later on today and all the great products. x

Bless!!!

So I'm looking around to see if I can get Ezmoo a winter coat, I have found a cute little duffel coat for her but am going to wait and see if I can get her something when I go to San Fransisco next week(!) But while looking I have come across some hilarious dog dressing up clothes! The duck one is my favourite, but I would never get this for McDoodle as we would look like a pair of idiots and would probably get beaten up by the chavs!!
Aw but the Minnie Mouse one is so sweet...maybe just for indoors!

My new favourite Etsy Shop

I came across a beautiful shop on the Etsy site (which I am obsessed with!) called which.goose who make magical natural crowns and hair accessories. I am in love with everything in this store.
