A short story..

summer has rolled around and one of the most obvious essentials is shorts , i have picked out a few of the best classics & newcomers. so here they are:)!

1~ Classic and the most obvious , regular denim wash shorts. They can be worn with almost anything. All you have to do is pick the length! heres my favourite.. there short shorts , you could almost call then 'daisy dukes'! there from Hollister , around £35:)










2~ Another pair of classics , white wash. some people don't even own a a pair and i think there a key item! again these are from Hollister , around £30










3~ The next pair is something perfect for the beach or a summer game of tennis! you can get them in many different colours and there available to buy almost anywhere , sorry guys , these are also from Hollister! I have to admit though , Hollister sport shorts are different from others. They have a soft towel-like lining so there perfect to keep cool and for the beach!  around £20










4~ And heres the latest newcomer , floral print shorts! there girly and a big trend right now , but still fun and cute for summer! look in almost any store and iim sure you will find a pair to indulge in , whether you splash the cash or save it! (below- republic shorts , Around £25)

Spice up your summer - Nail polish trends!




Trends , mostly a word associated with clothes but the latest nail trends are what has got me most excited for this summer. nails are something every women wants to have ,  and keep them up to standards.

1~  The most raved about nail polish trend has to be the 'cracked'/'shattered' effects , released end of 2010/ beginning of 2011 ,  it seemed to be the most sought after product , most leading nail polish brands released it in the colour black , but a few weeks ago released many colours of it so you can choose what colours you want to mix and match to create the perfect shattered nail. 













2~ Nail foils/wraps used to only be available at a high cost in a salon however they have been released everywhere in these past couple of months , peel off.heat up & stick on for a true metallic feel or easy to do design , its that simple!












3 ~ 'moon manicures'  , a great twist on a regular french , it will add a funky and retro vibe to your nails , and is going to be a great trend this summer. Any colour can be use on this design and it will still look l  modern retro. It has been worn by a number of celebrities and on many of catwalks.










So , some great ways to wear nail polish this season. on trend , different & waiting to become a classic.
