This hurts

I knew a little visit to the Outnet (Net-a-porter's more accessible little sister) would prove dangerous:

This jacket is to die for.

Burberry Prorsum, 60% off, £1,468.

I'm not sure what I wouldn't do for this jacket, it is too dangerous to think about.

The site also has some breathtaking dresses, and the discounts are very encouraging, it is testing my steely resolve to the limits.

Think its time to step away from the computer

Summer Jacket

I am in desperate need of a light summer jacket.

Whilst rifling through the jacket section of my wardrobe, I counted seven black jackets, plus five others in similar dark hues. Nothing in there shouts summer.

What I need is a light-coloured jacket that I can throw over little summer dresses, that I can dress up or down.

I'm petite so it has to fit right, cropped sleeves would be ideal for me, and close to the body.

I like the idea of a little bleached denim jacket, like this one from Warehouse:

I've tried a few on but they all seemed either to fit wrong (too cropped), or too expensive.

Another idea is this style, again from Warehouse:

I have a similar one in black from their outlet store which I love (only a tenner too!) so I think I'll wait a while and see if it turns up at a reduced price.

So for now, the search is on

Glamour'eyes

Oh Urban Decay, why do you treat me this way?

You know I have a serious make-up addiction, you know I don't really need any more of the stuff, yet somehow you keep pulling me in.

My latest make-up craving is for the Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow Box:



Ooh, just look at it, the colours, the shiny packaging...

I've already got the Ammo Palette and have cleaned out my favourite colours in it, so I'm seriously eyeing this as a replacement.

I tried some of the colours in Boots and as per usual with UD shadows, the texture and coverage are amazing. Some of the shades in the Ammo palette are packed with glitter which proceeds to fall all over your face but not so with the Deluxe shadows. They're even smoother and the colours are fab.

I think I'd use the three neutral colours on a daily basis, perhaps with my UD Liquid liner in Radium (an electric blue) to punch it up a bit.

Its the brighter colours which make me nervous. I'm just not sure how much I'll ever use the tropical-looking colours, which I don't normally wear. I love the purples, they would bring out the green in my eyes, yet whether that can justify spending £20 on kiddie-colour eyeshadow is another matter.

Hmm, quite the quandary...

I think the next time I'm feeling a bit rubbish I know what I'll get to cheer myself up!

We shall see
