I was walking out to lunch with a couple of workmates when I saw the cutest ever Odille polka dot bikini in a store window.

I couldn’t pass it! I ran straight in and tried it on.

I ended up getting the pale blue one, as it looked very flattering on a slightly tanned skin.

I have to say that the sizing was a tad odd though. Its fantastic that they sell the tops and bottoms separately, as I had to choose [S] in the bottoms and [L] in the bikini top!

It was love at first sight and I think its the cutest bikini I’ve ever owned!

Aren’t they gorgeous? I’ve been coveting nude patent pumps for ages, and what could be a better excuse to treat myself to a pair than my birthday coming up?

Here’s a better picture of my new black heels. Aren’t they gorgeous?

I love the simplicity of the shoes and the slick detail of the angled back of the heel. The leather has a gorgeous finish and the overall shape is very flattering and makes my feet look even smaller than they are.

I have a feeling they will be my next favourite pair, so I put another pair on layby just in case…

Who says you can’t buy a soul? I found a pretty little jar of it from my favourite chemist last night.

I love bareMinerals’s eyeshadows as they last really well and the colours are beautiful. I wear a thin layer of eye make up base under the shadow, and it lasts all day without creasing!

I’ve been using ‘Celestial’ for a while, and get complemented on the colour constantly, but now  I wanted something a little bit lighter and more neutral for the summer. Unfortunately bareMinerals doesn’t have good product images and the colours are so subtle that they’re near impossible to order online unless you know the exact name of the shade you’re after. You pretty much need to try the colours in the store to find our what your getting. The brand isn’t stocked very widely, but luckily my lovely local chemist has recently added them to their store. (Though I have to say that all the colours are so nice that even if you don’t get exactly what you were after, it’ll still be a very nice and wearable colour…)

I haven’t tried ‘Soul’ on yet, but I’m sure it will be a treat. Its a nice creamy light shade with a beautiful sheen on it.

I’ve been on a lookout for a new pair of black heels for several months and finally found these from Mollini today. Aren’t they gorgeous in their simplicity?
