Last Thursday night I went to 'The Complete History of World Rugby (Abridged)', performed by the uber-talented Outwits on the Daffodil Lawn in The Botanic Gardens, and had a fantastic evening of almost free entertainment. It's become a bit of a tradition for my family, as we've been going to The Outwits Summertimes performances for years, and no matter what their subject they...

I promise I'm not already breaking my vow of shoe buying suspension, but I got these from Solestruck last week and just realised I hadn't posted about them. I'm not usually a big fan of animal print but there is something about these shoes (perhaps the fact they're JC) that make me love them. I was a little worried when I ordered them...

airborne unicorn + great pink planet I received my package from Limecrime today with 2 new lipsticks from the Candy Future collection:  'Airborne Unicorn' and 'Great Pink Planet'.  I've been eyeing these colours for a while and finally got the courage to order them.

They're the original, Made in England, 1460s and...

Its hard to believe that a film could be successful when its about one man, in one confined location, for 100 minutes, but '127 Hours' does this flawlessly. Inspired by true events and the autobiography of Aron Ralston, the film is about a thrill-seeker who gets pinned between a rock and the canyon wall while climbing in the remote Blue John Canyon, Utah....

After liberating them from customs, I finally received my Foxys! I've been after the black suede for ages but they're always out of stock in my size and I'm impatient, so when the nude came in I decided to order them as a bit of a change (most of my shoes are black or grey) and I'm in love. They make me super...

I've been incredibly intrigued to see 'Black Swan' since seeing the trailer for the first time early last year. Since then, my anticipation has only grown which is strange as I usually shy away from films with elements of horror. However, 'Black Swan' has a perfect balance of psychological thriller, horror and drama that kept me guessing from the moment I sat down....

In preparation for the new generation/series 5, and to rid my memory of the abomination that is MTV Skins, over the past week I've been having a Skins marathon and went right back to the beginning to relive  my  favourite moments from the past 2 generations/4 series. I'm still undecided on my favourite cast but I think gen 1 might have the upper...
