I am personally a very big fan of John Galliano even if i don't like what he did and don't like him as a person... but what do YOU think of this replacement?

It is  the start of school after half term, so i am STRESSED. Lessons all day, homework all night, and the worst of all, grades that "suggest" that the work you are alredy doing isnt enough. So it is time for my amazing relazing process.

1st) have a warm long shower. Use all of your body lotions, shampoos, EVERYTHING. And of course, do this with the perfect playlist. FULL of songs that you can sing along and dance to in the shower.

My VERY random taste in music means that the playlist will be REALLY random, from slipknot to nicki minaj.

2nd) When you get out of the shower, light some scented candles in your room, dim the lights and DONT get dressed

3rd)Put a relazing (but not depressing) playlist on (my favourite is the XX) and SLEEP for an hour or so.

and finally 4th) take your time to get dressed beautifly, put your makeup on and make yourself feel good about yourself before your big day. (date, exam, big perfect job interview...)

Although when i don't have time i just paint.

What do you do to relax? 

Lil Kims new album cover apparently looks something like this.

(http://twilightwhisper.com/gossip/Lil-Kims-album-cover-decapitates-Nicki-Minaj-4772706.html)

What do you think? I think its too much. This is just evil!

Not only she has 2 hit songs that made everyone stand up and dance (at least in my case if i hear either do it like a dude or Pricetag i just have to sing my out) she has also an AMAZING acoustic voice, and is the writer of other songs like Party in the U.S.A by Miley Cyrus

Check it out and tell me what you think!! do u like her, do you hate her?

She is also Super friendly (or seems so) and a MASSIVE fashion icon.

Hearing the brand new Lady Gaga single "Born this way" I thoguht to  myself, THIS is a smack in the face to every song that rants about how much you love S & M or how making out with someone else and your boyfriend finding out doesnt matter.

Since i heard Jessie J's song featuring B.O.B. I am in love. Ive been quite down lately and all i could listen to that can make me feel better was quite old, but Finally feel good songs are (or surely will be) on top of the charts.

Thats why I love Lady Gaga and Jessie J so much at the moment. They are EPIC.

Here are the 2 songs that made my day a bit better, Enjoy :)

What do you think? Is Are you as glad as i am that theres something to listen to that doesnt encourage you to wear latex under your 4 inch short skirt and make out with random people?

They are fashion icons, but also amazing artists. 

I might be stupid or something, but i went to superdrug a couple of days ago and realised that tester green lipstick is actually PINK. It looks green, but then you applie it and its pink. It also changes the shade of pink depending on the pH of your skin. amazing RIGHT? i think i might buy it fairly soon :)

Looks impossible Right? people that make lipsticks must be magicians

you can buy it online HERE!

I have been thinking about what to wear to my first ever valentines day date with my boyfriend for about 2 weeks and im not sure about some stuff yet, but what i am 100% sure about is that im getting some pale pink highlights all over my hair :)

ive been planning to get pink hair this summer too, as a permanent thing, and all the celebs wearing it now really make me jealous. Although they all have different shades and i cant really make my mind up. They are all so nice and cute :P

For example:

Nicki Minaj with candy-floss long pink hair.

Hayley williams and her fuchsia hair with pastel pink fringe. I like the double tone. I have it on my blonde hair now and it looks quite badass.

Lady Gaga in the new Vogue editorial with SUPER SHORT pastel pink hair. So f***ing fashion forward. i love it.

And the ORIGINAL pink hair girl Audrey Kiching (in coco de coeur, AMAZING t-shirt) In my opinion, she had the most amazing hair in the world (yes, most of it is most likely extensions, but it's still amazing, and it looks so un-naturally natural)

I have to admit i am not a big Avril Lavigne fan, but i really like the green with the pink. its risky. 

And for people who dont like block colour theres alwais pink streaks and highlights.

Like Katy Perry's pink and blue highlights on black hair. I like her fake blue hair (california girls video) better but this is also a nice more relaxed style.

And lastly Joss Stone. I know this hair is from ages ago but i just found it recently and it looks really nice, also is good for peple who dont want to damage their hair bleaching until it goes white. Just bleach a few streaks, put pink dye all over your hair and voila!! Pink highlights

I am in love of this new colourful hair trend. What do you think? and who wears it better?

You may have heard of her, or you may not have. I'm not sure how big she is over in the states yet but in England she already has a number one single. Im talk about Jessie J, the one that VEVO calls the 'new queen of pop' but I just call 'Britain's half-assed answer to Lady Gaga'. That's not to say I don't like her. I kinda like her songs in a 'Im dying on a treadmill I need to occupy my mind with something to distract from the fact I still have 3 km to go' kind of way. And while at first I thought she was a manufactured fool, she's grown on me.

I think she stays true to her image which, whilst still keeping the quirky element a la Gaga, is fun and relaxed. Check it:

Srsly. Her lips are just the coolest I have ever seen. 

These scarfs are driving me CRAZY. i'm not sure if it is in a good way or a bad way. Its nice to see all those cheerful colours and lines, and the editorial SS11 video was stunning,  but isn't it a bit... childish looking?? 

It is so different from anything i have ever seen from Prada before. Bold colours have been used but ... wheres the class? and the upper-classed look? To be honest i am not a big fan of those banana looking outfits either.

But isnt it nice for once to see something bold and new and cheerful? I think a lot of people are moving away of the uptight perfection seeking look into something more confortable and FUN, but isnt this too much? 

i would DIE for those sunglasses to become some kind of new trend, but i think for me the scarfs are a bit over the top.

So what to you think?? cheap or cheerful?
