Mother's Day gift ideas

I wrote this post and then thought, that, actually I suppose it's more of a wish list, a hint list if you like for the hubby! He's not good at choosing presents or taking hints so I have to normally shove a list in his direction if I am to get anything remotely useful or anything that I actually want.

So, first up is this little number. I saw it on Janelle's blog quite a few months ago and adored it. But she lives in the US and there was no way I was paying for delivery to the UK for a jumper. And then I found a stockist in the UK! So here is the 'Hello' sweatshirt from Southwood Stores. 

I toyed with the idea of putting an iPad on my birthday list, but it would have meant that I wouldn't have got much else, considering the price. So I restrained myself. However, I still live in hope that an ipad will magically wing its way to me somehow. I'm definitely an Apple girl. I have an iPhone, and iPod, a Macbook Pro, a Macbook Air and I just need the iPad to complete the collection! I am actually really confused as to which ipad I would want, there seems to be quote a bit of choice on Amazon. I thought this one looked good, it was one of the dearer ones, so it probably is! 

I've really been trying to look after my skin, especially since having Charlie, so I am keen to find some new facial skincare products to look after my face. Also, I am now 30, gasp, so I need something that will take care of my skin properly. I quite fancy the Vitamin C range from The Body Shop, after seeing them on Kelly's blog the other day. Kelly said that she has used it for a while now and believes it to be very effective, so it's worth a go! 

I'd like to try the this, the Vitamin C Microdermabrasion scrub. 

And use with this, The Vitamin C Skin Reviver. 

Finally, I would like to update my nail varnish collection. I want some spirng shades as I am sick of wearing dark purples and blues. I want pretty, happy shades to mathc the sun we are getting at the moment. I used to love Nails Inc and haven't bought any for ages, so I quite fancy these....

The Spring Summer Collection

I've been looking for a natural nail colour but always love pinks and the blue colour in this looks lush!

So there's my little list. Any other inspiration for Mother's Day out there?

Christmas Nails - Part 1

I've bought a few nail varnishes the past couple of weeks, ready for the Christmas season and I have tried to match them up to certain outfits I plan to wear (yes, I am THAT sad). Above is one of them, this was just a practice, so it could do with a bit of a touch up really. 

However, I am totally in love with these Collection Bedazzled varnishes. This one is called Razzle Dazzle and is a black/silver/blue toned glittery colour. Again, I don't like glitter on its own, so I put Nails Inc Motcomb Street underneath it as a base colour. Motcomb Street is a very deep blue colour, almost black and I think, goes really well underneath the glittery top coat. 

I'm going to wear this for Christmas Eve I think!
