Saturdays Mini Boots Haul

Today I managed to go for a nice lunch with Marc, and get a little shopping in.

I didn't get much just some much needed hair products a new head scarf and some nail polish.

To be honest it is nice to have a day with Marc, we got to sit and eat, enjoy some conversation, make some plans for the future and just be our selves, it felt good, everything has been so up in the air in recent months, that it feels good to slow down a little.

here are some pictures of the nail polishes I bought, they a all from boot out of the 17 range, I got the Magnetised blue/purple looking colour and the pale blue called Heart beat, which meant I got a free gift which had the beautiful orange looking colour called Tropical island, an eye liner and a body bronzer in it.

The scarf is the animal print under the nail polishes it was £1.50 in the charity shop, and the perfect size to use as a head scarf!

I love the magnetised polish and may have to buy more of them, the pale blue is quite thin and will need 3 coats i think to make it work, the picture above is two coats, and the tropical island is completely gorgeous! so summery and I think I will wear it lots through the summer!

The hair care products i bought were some Aussie mega shampoo and conditioner and a pre lightening hair kit, which I will post all about when I get round to finally sorting out my hair. 

What have you all been up to this weekend do you have anything exciting planed or just a quiet one like me?

Slink Magazine

Now if you follow my Twitter of Facebook, you will have likely seen me rave about Slink Magazine, It is fabulous, I have followed them through there first 4 online issues, and when I saw that they were going into print for the first time with issue 5, I knew I had to have a copy.


Slink Magazine is a plus fashion and lifestyle mag, which easily rivals the glossy fashion magazines on the shelves at the moment, I can identify more easily with the fashion and the articles. 


Issue 5 is the relationships issue, but that doesn't mean dating and love stories, it is so much more.


This is the information the fabulous Editor in Chief Rivkie sent me to explain this issue..


The Relationship Issue focuses on not just on the age old fairytale of love but how we relate to different aspects in our life. From food, family, body and our wardrobe the way we feel about ourselves, other people and our material possessions the SLiNK team discusses exactly how they feel!
Alongside this we have 6 great Spring/Summer trends and how to best work them into your wardrobe, 3 great fashion stories, interviews with Whitney Thompson, the only plus size winner of ANTM, brand owner of Allistyle - Pam Shainhouse and the usual beauty, treatment, recipes, restaurant reviews, travel, motoring and culture!

I wasn't sure what to expect from the magazine, what the quality would be, but when it dropped through my door yesterday I couldn't have been happier, It feels like a magazine I could collect from my local WHSmiths, the paper is beautiful and thick, and as always the images and articles within are fabulous!

This is my very own copy!

Stunning cover Girl

An awesome article from the fabulous Becky Of the Ramblings of Mrs BeBE

Love the fashion tips

And the photo shoots always WOW me.

I cant stress enough how much I love this Magazine and I would love for it to gain the following and support it deserves to become huge!

You can purchase a printed copy of Slink magazine for £3.95 + P&P or you can order it in either digital PDF or ePub formats for £1.00 Here

Remember to check out the back issues too while you are there, they are fabulous. 

I will be waiting excitedly for the May money issue to come out.
