This is a pretty terrible photo of me, I look so tired. But I wanted to share my new dress with you all, it's from Zara. I bought it on Monday but today Zara has launched an online store which is very exciting. They have so many nice things in at the moment, in both the women range and the TRF range. I also bought a lovely mustard coloured t-shirt with a bow on the neckline. Zara cardigans are also notoriously good and in so many colours, I may have to stock up on some for the winter. Especially as it seems that our office is freezing in the winter!
I also received my Models Own order at the weekend, I chose 4 nail varnishes using the 50% discount offer that was on last week. I got Grass Green, Top Turquoise, Purple Passion & Bluebelle. I instantly chose the Grass Green to try first, because it matches my new favourite cardigan. I applied this on Friday night and took the above photo this morning (Thursday), so you can see it's lasted a long long time! I am impressed. My right hand is admittedly slightly less perfect but only on my middle finger really. For nearly a week's wear though, I am very pleased! Going to try out a new one at the weekend. I think pretty much everyone bought some Models Own nail varnish last week, but I am so impressed with the quality I might buy some more!
I don't think you look tired at all! Yea, everyone bought some lovely nail polishes except me :( I'm only hearing about this offer now boooo!!! Ah well must keep my finger on the pulse for next time lol ;)
ReplyDeleteooh i really want to see how the blue glitter one looks like :D
ReplyDeleteWow, for it to last that long in library as well! Mine always ends up chipping after reshelving/fighting with a few books!

Oooh, love the Zara dress on you. Saw it in store a couple of days ago - I had no idea they were about to open an online store! Bang goes me ever going out to shop again, haha.
ReplyDeleteGood review on the Models Own varnish, I think I was the only person to miss out! Gutted.
You picked some gorgeous shades, especially that beautiful green.
ReplyDeleteLove the green nails! So pretty. I'm a huge fan of Zara and am so excited about their online store - more shopping! :) x
ReplyDeleteEveryone's loving the models own nail polishes, they do look pretty great. Love your dress too, it suits you to a T!
ReplyDeleteYeah onwards to the real world now, going to look for marketing jobs ideally! But I have an arts background so I'm going to try and utilise as much as I can from my degrees!
I adore the dress and you look so pretty. Just found your blog and really like it.

Oik! I like both the dress and the nails. I suddenly crave kelly green nails as well. (Matching your new favorite cardigan?)The dress looks quirky but still quite classical. I would wear it in a heartbeat!

love the nailpolish!!
ReplyDeleteThe green nail varnish looks really nice - I've never seen that shade before. The blue glitter looks gorgeous. I think I'd put it on top of midnight blue varnish.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me about the Zara website too. I'll have to check it out x

ReplyDeleteThe dress is gorgeous Helen! And you don't look tired you look as lovely as you always do :) I'm so happy to finally be able to see the Zara range collectively, in one place. Kills me that I'm going to have to be good with my pennies this uni year and not splash out on too many new clothes - what a bore!
ReplyDeleteDoy u know what means "afeitar" in spanish??
ReplyDeleteYes I do, it means 'to shave'. The name doesn't hold any significance it's just a username I've been using for a long time on different sites so made sense to keep my blog as that.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very pretty dress! I love that Zara as opened an online store now, but it's just unbearable for my will power not to buy anything!

I love your dress. And the blue glitter polishe is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe dress is beautiful. I like the print and the color.
ReplyDeleteOh I must tell you, I've seen that dress in the hanger over at Zara and it looks so much better in you than in the hanger!! You look gorgeous Helen. It is amazing when nail polishes are cheap, pretty and long lasting right? I have a couple that surprised me very much! And those colors are really pretty.
ReplyDeleteI bought the same dress on Zara the other day so I loooove that dress! You look great, not tired at all! :)
