The prettiest nails you ever did see // Revlon x Marchesa

Some of you eager fashionistas may have already spotted images of Revlon's wonderful new collaboration with red carpet favourite Marchesa:

All nail designs are based on gowns from Marchesa's AW collection

They look like they cost the earth but in actual fact they will retail at....... £8.99. With nail polishes increasing in price these days - what's the deal with that? - £8.99 isn't all that bad, comparatively. And this is Marchesa we're talking about. With gowns retailing in the thousands, I think I can deal with £8.99.

Each nail design is truly beautiful - a work of art. With an increasing demand for nail art - we've seen diversity from the likes of Ciaté's latest feather nail manicure, shatter effects, nail cavier and Illamasqua's speckle nails - any form of new nail product that wants to stand a chance in the current market needs to stand out. These ones from Revlon + Marchesa sure do and I predict that we'll be seeing a lot of them on blogs, Instagram and the alike once they go on sale.

I'm very excited to see if Revlon and Marchesa continue to work together in the future. There is potentially a cosmetic line in the works - with a focus on eyes and lips - but everything is still very hush hush. If it's anything like the sneak peak of their nail art range [above], then it's very promising indeed!

ASOS bunny flats

Usually I’m more of a cat person, but when I spotted these bunny flats on ASOS.com I couldn’t resist. I already own a pair of Charlotte Olympia kitty flats dupes - can someone "lend" me £465 for the real deal, please? -  with similar embroidery, but I was powerless to resist adding rabbits to my collection.

They came in the most gorgeous powder blue dust bag. I’ve only ever had a dust bag for my Louis Vuitton before so this was a nice touch, making the shoes feel a lot more expensive than they really were.



Fit wise, they are a little big on me but I have noticed ASOS flat shoes to be a little off with their sizing. I figure these will be fine with tights though. Besides, look at those cheery little faces looking up at you…


couldn’t possibly send them backThey've arrived just in time for Easter too. So I can be a walking talking cliché wearing these and gorging myself silly on MaltEaster bunnies (the dream)
Happy Easter!
