Accesorize 70% sale: Vintage Postcard Coin purse

I have this thing for purses (Or Wallets as Americans call it). I cannot have a purse for a long period of time, as I like to change things about. I feel like a purse it such a statement that you simply cannot have too many, therefore I have a huge collection that seems to be ever piling up- however I still do use them on a regular basis. I purchased this poscard coin purse from Accessorize a couple of days ago as I was getting bored of the Lacoste purse that I've been sporting for the last year (a record!) and I simply love the whole look of particular style.

WARNING! Lots of photos!

 

I am a sucker for cute purses and bags! I always look for something that would catch my eye! Nonetheless the exterior is a postcard look which matches my me perfectly.It has some pretty buttons and embroidery.I also love the little pink bow with gold heart and the airmail sign  It is also has a very soft cotton feel to it which I love.Also, it adds more of a 'girly' touch (not that any more is needed, thanks to the flowers!).

As you open up  the purse, you have just the right space you need for your money to comfortably sit without it looking inflated. You then have only one section where you can put your money, notes, cheques, receipts or whatever you desire!This will be great for school or pocket money. I find I can put a lot of things in a really compact design. I've seen these float about from place to place, but I think these are going to become a huge hit in the months to come!

 

L'occitane Cherry Blossom hand cream ♥

    Enriched with Shea Butter, this creamy and non-greasy moisturizer nourishes and protects hands, leaving them delicately scented. Contains cherry extract from Luberon, Provence.£8

    It seems the season of dry-hands has returned! What I love about this L'Occitane Cherry Blossom Hand Cream is that the shea butter component provides instant, immediate relief, leaving my skin feeling silkier and smoother after application. It dries nicely and smoothly and is not too thick or heavy on the hands. Great for those of us who are impatient with hand creams. I personally love quality scents and this Cherry Blossom fragrance is sweet and delicate at the same time. It's a really subtle scent which lingers on the skin just enough to make it really pleasant, without being overpowering. If you like sweet, fruity fragrances, especially with hints of cherry, and are looking for a hand cream that definitely works, this L'Occitane cream delivers highly in scent and smoothness.This can be purchased here for £8, and comes in a handy travel size!
 

 

How to : DIY Pretty Vintage Wooden Clothes Hangers ♥

     When I take photos of my new fashion buys for my blog, I usually hang them on a boring naff plastic hanger and then on nail on my wall. Not only does it look a bit tacky but it doesn't do my new item much justice either, hanging from something so ugly. So I had been hunting for a while for some pretty hangers to use instead. I saw lots of those silky hangers, but these were too narrow and also too straight. I couldn't find what I wanted, so I set about making my own!
      I wanted them to be pale, pretty and girly. So I did a complete overhaul on these wooden bargain hangers, which not only look pretty good I think, but they were really cheap and easy to make too!

So here's my tutorial:
 

 

Get some wooden hangers (I'm everyone has at least one wooden hanger at home). Mine was without the bottom pole (used for hanging trousers) as I only use my hangers for dresses.


 

 

Lightly sand down the wood to remove the glossy stain.( I got my sandpaper from Poundland)

 

Paint your hangers using normal cheap white wall paint. 

Leave them to dry, and then paint on another coat.
 

 

Using some patterned paper, cut out whatever design or pattern you would like on your hanger. I used a pair of small nail scissors to get a really close neat trim. This is just a gift bag I got from Poundland ages ago. But you can use any kind of paper.

 

 

Then use PVA glue to stick the paper onto your dry painted hangers. Press them on well so they don't peel off.

 

 

And this is what you should end up with! A really simple and easy way to get custom hangers exactly how you want them, and I got 1 for only £1!

What do you think? :)

I can now hang my new buys up in style! I love the rustic effect of the white paint, and the floral pattern looks like it has been handpainted on!

 

Free Sample of L'oreal EverPure shampoo + conditioner ♥

 

 

*L'oreal EverPure Colour Care System with botanic oils

 

 

Recently, L'oreal was offering a free sample of their new EverPure non-sulphate shampoo. I grabbed this offer, as I do adore L'oreal as a brand. Also, my hair was dyed so many times that I want to start taking good care of it now.

It came in a lovely package within two weeks since I ordered it. According to L'oreal, "Specially designed to leave coloured, weakened hair looking shiny and noirished". It is also described as a non-sulphate Colour Care system with botanic oils such as rosemary and juniper.I read several pages about sulphates and apparently they tend to be bad for your hair so I think that using a non-sulphate cleanser will be more natural.

I really like the packing as always L'oreal found a simple and elegant design to suit every bathroom. It costs £5.99 from Boots or Superdrug - quite expensive for me so it is worth to try before you buy!

When I went onto trying it the colour of the actual shampoo is white and it also smells really fresh and nice probably like rosemary. So the smell was very pleasant and a good change from boring fruity and floral shampoo. When washing out hair felt very smooth.

I prefer not to blow dry my hair so I just let it dry naturally.Hair did feel a lot softer but I wasn't that impressed with conditioner because when I brushed my hair it was a bit dangle.

Unfortunately, the sample was only enough for one wash but considering results I might buy a full bottle of EverPure shampoo but not conditioner.
