L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Smooth Milk Fluid 

I really like this product. I don't remember how much it was, sorry! I bought it from boots though. 

I made a rookie mistake and didn't use gloves the first time I applied - definite orange palms. 

I am self tanning newbie so I don't know much about it.  I used to use a gradual tanner/moisturiser thing of L'Oreal but could only find the face version this this year, which is quite a small bottle. 

The bottle says to use daily until the tan gets to the intensity you want and then just apply 2 or 3 times a week to maintain it.

There is also a glimmering version of this one and L'Oreal has quite a big tanning range. 

Oh, I now have gloves. Also I have exfoliating gloves (pink and black polka dots!) for £1 from Wilkinsons so feel equipped! 

I notice on the self tanners I've seen they don't protect against UV - are there any that do, just out of curiosity?

Nails (3)

Another mismatch style. I love this. I have seen so many people with multi coloured nails this week. Love that!

Coral Surprise - Beauty UK

Blue Moon - Beauty UK

I am not a neat nail painter as you can probably see. I also don't wipe off the nail varnish that goes around the edges because I just end up smudging the nail, I find it usually washes off after a few hand washes.

summer hair

I've moved my parting over so it is nearer the middle. It definitely isn't a middle parting because that just doesn't look nice on me, but I quite like moved over a bit. I had my parting quite far to one side before and I began to think it just looked a bit silly, plus i was always conscious in photos about it, so i thought I'd move it over. Well decided/woke-up-with-it-in-that-parting-and-liked-it. It is probably my natural parting. Anyway, below are few style I will be attempting to covet. The wavy beachy tousselled look. Nice and summery.

a ring thing

£2.50 - Primark

I love this ring! I've been after any ring that looks similar to this for a while. I always get a little nervous with rings - definitely panicked in Matalan the other day that a ring wouldn't come off and shook my hand so hard it flew off onto the floor. 

I love those 3D-ish type rings, you know the ones that have antlers sticking up and what not.

Are you a ring person?

for you.

I love book dedications. 

I would happily read them for hours. 

The picture above is obviously from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. 

Another one I found which is beautiful is C. S Lewis's in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. 

Dedication: To Lucy Barfield

My Dear Lucy,I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand, a word you say, but I shall still be

your affectionate Godfather, C.S. Lewis

You may think it silly to love what is often just a couple of lines on a page but I do.

skirt inspiration.

I much prefer skirt shopping than trouser/jean shopping. I find it less stressful/depressing. I've had a look round and found some 'length-appropriate' ones for school next year. As I am penniless however, they will have to be used as inspiration for now.
