Moved House || First Stages of Decoration

    Those of you who follow me on Twitter will know, I recently moved house closer up to my Nan and some college friends. I'm planning on totally revamping my new bedroom over the course of the summer, so I thought I'd take you through these steps with me to see the process from start to finish. I've already picked up a few bits such as my clothes rail, Ganesha throw and a lovely set of draws which are pictured below. 

    I'm still debating on a bedroom colour theme but at the moment I'm edging towards white and sea foam green (a pale green shade). Finding white items such as photo frames is an easy task as white is a universal colour for bedroom furniture and accessories. However sea foam green is proving to be rather difficult, with only ridiculously expensive pieces being available. A trip to Ikea is being planned for the beginning of summer, but if anybody could recommend any online stores that stock chic sea foam and white pieces it would be highly appreciated. 

    As you can see from the images below, my bedroom is extremely plain at the moment as I decided to bring as little items to the new house with me. I'm in desperate need of some new thicker curtains as they're pretty sheer and let the sun in very easily. Along with a new duvet cover as I only have the duvet it self at the moment and a rather large DVD rack.

Smell Like Gaga

    
    It was released on the 14th via Twitter that the go ahead is happening on the rumors of Lady Gaga's first perfume entitled 'Fame'. Now being a fellow fan of Gaga finding this out makes me 1. very excited and 2. feel the pain of my purse. It's been said in a statement that two versions of the perfume will be released. A small bottle classed as affordable, around $30 (£19/20) and then a considerably larger bottle over $70 (£44/45). Gaga has put no influence on her fans to purchase the more expensive version, but she names the $70 bottle as the 'masterpiece'. Is this a marketing trick to con people out of more than double the smaller bottles price or will there be secret additions added?


    Banishing the rumors that her scent will contain animals blood and sperm, the scent instead will have a nice light floral smell, this of course will be more appealing to all markets apposed to the original scent. Now with Gaga being the extreme madam that we know her as, this straight forward basic perfume must have some surprise of twist to give it the Lady Gaga edge and it does. This is the first black fluid perfume, don't start panicking when the perfume is dispensed its a clear mist, which also goes invisible once dry. 


    It has been said that advertisements and posters for the upcoming scent will be displayed through out America during the start of September, I am unsure as to when the rest of the world will have the campaign displayed but a photo has been released worldwide (above) giving you the shape, style of the perfume and a cleverly hidden naked Gaga with what appears like semi naked men climbing all over her body. 


    So what do you think of the perfume, is she just after money putting a cheap scent in a bottle or do you think all her passion had been put in a bottle? Write your opinions below.

Collective Haul

    I've worked up a few different items that I've bought from Venice, out and about in Manchester and items that I've been given as gifts over the past month or so. Details as where they are from, price and opinion will be below each photograph.

Wonka Exceptional Fudge - Approx £2.70

    I bought this in a shopping store in Manchester called Afflecks Palace, a small American sweets shop has recently been set up selling everything from Grape Soda to Twinkies. The shop is run by a family with their children helping out with purchases and sales. 

Oh, Lola! by Marc Jacobs - 100mil 87 euro

    On my way back from Venice, I hope 200 euros to get rid off so I decided to treat myself with a 100mil bottle of new perfume. I'm a fan of Marc Jacobs and knew I wouldn't be disappointed and I defiantly was not. The smell is so light and fresh, perfect for the upcoming summer season, I would recommend this to anybody who likes perfume to all ages. 

Blue & Silver Venetian Mask - 4 euro

    Visiting Venice a few weeks ago it was my duty to come back with at least one Venetian mask. I picked up this blue and silver mask which has black ribbon attached at the back so you could wear the mask. It is beautiful in person, very sparkly and true to the hype they get. Picking up one of these beauties if you visit Venice is something I highly recommend.

Tortoiseshell Shades - 2 euro

    These were another purchase I made in Venice, as the weather was unpredictable I took along my purple Ray Bans however, not matching all my outfits I picked up these tortoiseshell shades as normally you would pay around £20 in a high street store such as Topshop.

Topshop Glittery Flats - £15

    I picked these up the other week in the Topshop spring sale, a friend of mine had purchased these in gold a few weeks prior to myself paying the full price of £60. If these are something that interest you then I would nip into your local Topshop store as soon as possible, to make sure you don't miss out on these unique beauts.

Dirty Body Spray - Lush £12.50

    Going through a frenzy of buying Lush products I decided to buy this, being interested in any products that improve your hygiene and smell wonderful this product seemed perfect. It reminds me of an anti bacterial spray dispenser, but don't let that put you off. The smell produced is very strong though, I've been told and believe myself that it resembles the smell is mouthwash. Yet as a change I would purchase this again.

Blue Boy Chanel Polish - 17 euro

    The last thing I purchased was also on my way home from Venice. Buying high street nail polish's under the price of £5 I would see if Chanel work up to their name.One problem I had was that after your first coat, the finish is quite thin for my liking. However if you persist the result is quite impressive. For its price however I would possibly purchase one more polish, on the likelihood on this single batch being not as successful as the others.

UPDATE | #4

    This is a quick update, now as I said the previous week I've been sorting out quite a few blog posts in advance as I'm going on holiday on the 9th till 13th. However, unfortunately from taking a lot of photo's for numerous reviews my usb device that transfers these into my laptop has broken. I'm planning on ordering a new one as soon as possible to get things more sorted. 
    I can tell you what will be upcoming though, 17 mascara review, mini haul, nivea make up wipes review, vivienne westwood perfume & shoes review, photographer & aspiring designer interview. I'd like to apologize from the lack of reviews that I've been putting up because of this problem. Hope you've been enjoying the sunny english weather and I'll keep you updated.
