Michael Kors Rose Gold Watch Dupe

Hello Ladies! Another present most girls were lusting over this Christmas was the rose gold Michael Kors watch. But with a price tag of around £250 it was a case of luck if you received one - I'm going to choose one during next week but until then I have an amazing dupe which makes me feel as though I'm not missing out!

If you read my Boxing Day Sales post (read it here) then you'll know I picked up this beautiful watch from River Island for a bargainous £28 and I am totally in love with it. I just think rose gold is so classy and it compliments any sort of outfit without being too 'out there'. Unfortunately when it comes to watches and bracelets I have a bit of a problem. They very rarely fit me as my wrists are too skinny so I constantly find myself at a jewellers asking them to take inks off watches and shorten down bracelets. I had to have three links taken off of this watch before it fit me nice and snug, and since then I have been non-stop wearing it. From far I think it looks pretty identical to the Michael Kors one, although up close it obviously doesn't don the trademark Michael Kors writing on the clock face. It's not a watch that would make Snoop Dogg envious with bling so it really is ideal for everyday and evenings. 

I hope you'll all agree that this is a great dupe for a Michael Kors watch - the pictures don't do the colour of the rose gold justice. I've eyed up a few more watches from good old River Island which I'll definitely get my mitts on sometime soon! I hope everyone has an amazing New Year's Eve whatever you get up to! I can't wait to see everyone's OOTN and read what you all got up to. All the best for 2013 and I'll see you on the other side!

July Favourites

So, it's that time of month where all beauty bloggers reveal their favourite finds from throughout the month. I admit that July has been a great month for me in terms of finding lovely products which I've been in turn obsessing over, and I'd love to share them all with you. This is my first monthly favourites post and it's a little picture heavy so I apologise in advance.

Sleep Rollers - You must have been hiding under a rock if you haven't heard of these little beauties. I bought them a few months back and ever since then I've worn them at every given opportunity as I love them so much. I'm planning to do a full review of these, as I know rollers and especially Sleep Rollers are a hair product that people are very apprehensive about. But they're great for me, and I've been using them all month to achieve big bouncy hair. 

Batiste Dry Shampoo for Dark Brown Hair - Sometimes you just can't be bothered to wash your locks, and have to sit through blow drying your hair with the annoying prospect of being unable to style your hair on the day it has been washed. I've been loving the dry shampoo from Batiste which adds a tone of dark brown to your hair, which is great if your roots begin to come through. (I'm slightly guilty of this now, my natural hair is blonde so it looks disgustingly grey against my dark brown hair. Eek!)

St Tropez Gradual Tan Moisturiser - In recently raved about the infamous Dove Summer Glow Body Moisturiser, but I've found an even better replacement. Sure, it may be a little on the pricey side, but for a gradual tanning product which delivers nicer, longer lasting results I can just about justify it. I am loving this stuff, and plan to write a full review on it soon.

ReBorn at New Look Cross and Pearl Necklace - If you read my blog you'll know that I recently bought this necklace for a bargain of only £6.00 at New Look in Westfield, London. Since then, I've been wearing it with pretty much everything. I love that it's so versatile and doesn't catch in my long hair either which is a huge added bonus. Read my full review on it here. 

Benefit Get Bent Mascara - I love Benefit make up, and I've never been disappointed when purchasing something. I love the packaging of this mascara and it looks lovely in my make-up bag when I could never usually find my mascara buried under everything. It gives my lashes great volume and the brush is angled which makes for great application.

Nails Inc in Love Potion - I'm a complete sucker for pale barbie pink nail polishes as I find that they really bring out a tan. Nails Inc have a great selection of colours, and this ticks all the right boxes. It's chip resistant, long lasting and very pigmented. I only need to apply one coat and I'm good to go.

MAC Lusture Lipstick in Jubilee - As I've mentioned in previous posts, I absolutely adore pale pink and nude lipsticks. Having accumulated quite the collection on lipsticks, I've been using MAC's Lusture lipstick which gives a lovely glossy finish and long lasting colour. 

Rescue Oil - It's almost time to put on my bikini and get tanning when I jet off on holiday in a few weeks time. EEEK! I've been doing some body prep and begun using Rescue Oil which contains the same ingredients as Bio Oil but is a fraction of the price. I'm planning to do a full review of this sometime soon so I can tell you just how amazing this stuff is!

Soap and Glory Flake Away - I adore Soap and Glory! The packaging, the smell, the price and of course the product. Flake Away is great as an exfoliator to prepare your skin for tanning, and it makes it unbelievably soft. It makes e that little less frightened to get my legs out when the sun shines.

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub - I am so addicted to this stuff, and find myself reaching for it at every given moment before I put my make-up on. I recently done a review on it here so take a read and see why I love it so much.

Bargain Of The Day: Re Born at New Look Cross & Pearl Necklace

Shirt - Primark


Hello everyone, hope you're well! The weather's finally getting a bit better, hooray! I won't speak too soon as it will probably start raining within the hour. I've just come home from Westfield in Shepherds Bush, London and bought a couple lot of uneccesary things which have no doubt made a huge dent in my bank balance. Life goes on. I was in New Look armed with two baskets worth of clothes, bags and goodness knows what else when I came to the jewellery. Re Born isn't a brand I'd ever seen stocked at a New Look branch before but the stand immediately caught my eye. They have amazing jewellery and everything is so well thought out. I picked up some great bits, 2 rings, 3 necklaces, some earrings and an ankle charm bracelet. Not checking the prices (I never do when I've been paid, it takes the fun away and makes me feel guilty all the time) I was so shocked when I got to the tills as to how cheap their stuff is. I spent under £25 on all of those bits alone which was great (although I more than made up for it with the clothes, shoes and bags. Oops.). By far my favourite piece I picked up from the Re Born brand was this long pearl and cross necklace.

If you're familiar with the classic Chanel necklace which has the small CC logo connecting the pearls together, then you'll see that this is quite similar. However it's only a fraction of the price at only £6.00! I've always known New Look to be quite good with their prices but that just takes the biscuit. I love layering different pieces of jewellery, and I always wear a long necklace every day without fail. I've added to my already huge collection with this lovely piece that I'm so chuffed with. It's different to your average pearl necklace and as crosses seem to be ultimate thing shops are pinning to their items this looks even better.

Get yourselves down to New Look and grab yourself a bargain! A versatile piece which can be dressed up or down depending on what it's worn with.
