January's over! I cant help but be quite relieved that it's gone and February's here because, in general, January is my least favourite month of the year. I have nothing against it but y'know, Christmas is over, New Year's resolutions are failing miserably, you have no money and the weather's crap...Not all that great. :P I managed to cheer myself up though, through the power of McFly, pretty nails, nice smells and collar jewellery. ^__^
You'll all be aware of my crazy (obsession) love for McFly so seeing their latest album in my favourites won't be a surprise. I bought the deluxe edition of Memory Lane which I wouldn't normally do, but in this case you get double the songs for just a few pounds extra. CD one is filled with their best, most popular songs (including Love Is Easy ^_^) which is wonderful but it'd CD two that got it into my favourites, as it's all demo's, acoustic tracks and covers. I'm in love. :)
My love for collars is no secret so it's weird that it took me so long to get a peter-pan collar necklace. I've had my eye on a gorgeous pearly River Island one for a while but the price put me off and sent me to Ebay in search for a cheaper one. I didn't find a pearl collar; I found something better. The collar I chose is bronze with a vintage-y filigree pattern and whilst you may think it isn't very versatile, I've managed to wear it with everything. Seriously, everything. It was only a fiver and has quickly became my favourite accessory.
I was in town after school one day with a couple of friends and we went into Boots to smell the Soap and Glory stuff. I don't think any of us had the intention to buy anything but somehow we all came out with Natural Collection body sprays. :S I bought the wild strawberry one, which smells like Calpol (in a good way), and have worn it pretty much every day since. ^__^
I did a full post for Essie's Aperitif at the start of January so you can click here to see that. I've been wearing it a lot recently; it's the most gorgeous cherry-red that last for ages. :)
The last three favourites were all Christmas presents from my family and I've been using them all every day since I got them. I guess that means they're pretty great! ;D
I hope February is awesome for all of you!
Lots of love, Cat

Great post, I love ur colar necklace. I know this is probably a dumb question but who is Mcfly?
ReplyDeleteMcFly are a british pop(ish) band that have been around since 2002. I love them, but it's understandable that you haven't heard of them because they haven't really been spoken about until quite recently. :) xx
DeleteI really want one of the Revlon Kissable balm-stains! I am constantly on the hunt for a great mascara so might give that one a go - would you recommend it?? Great Post xxx
ReplyDeleteThey're amazing, you should definitely try them! Mine's in the shade 'Rendezvous' but the colour range is great. ^_^
DeleteYeah, I'd reccommend the mascara; it makes your lashes look long and really defined. :) xx
your collar necklace is so cute, i love the colour too, it's unique! Nice post x

Thanks! I love that it's a little bit different from collar necklaces that you normally find on the highstreet. :) xx
DeleteLove this cute collection
ReplyDeleteThanks, Abbie! ^_^ xx
Deleteahh! I love that collar necklace! I would agree by saying that I am glad January is over! Here in North Carolina, it would be 70 degrees one day and snowing literally two days later! :P
ReplyDeleteHaha! Scotland just gets freezing cold rain every day. :P xx
DeleteOh McFly, my room as a kid used to be covered in their posters! I had (and still have) all their CD's, they were my favourite band growing up and I love their new song, 'Love is Easy'. I too am a little obsessed with peter pan collars, they're so cute and quirky.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe January is already over, it went way too quickly! :)

Haha, same! I absolutely love them. :') xx
DeleteLove the necklace, and what about the mascara? Can you recommend it? I wanted to try it long ago :)
ReplyDeleteEnter KiraPlastinina jewellery giveway!
The mascara's brilliant! I've only been using it since Christmas but I really love it. :) It lengthens, seperates and defines your lashes - which is perfect for me - so if you like thickening and volumising mascaras you probably won't be a fan. Otherwise, I'd recommend it. ^_^ xx
DeleteGreat favourites lovely, i used to be obsessed with Mcfly when i was younger, still a fan just not as crazed as i used to be!
ReplyDeleteJanuary is my least favourite month aswell!!
