Iphone 5s in my opinion

Awesome

Fun

Fast

and

Pretty

It has only been in my possession a little over 24 hours and I am already besotted with the damn thing. 

It showed up yesterday lunchtime in the arms of our UPS delivery guy and lets just say I was bouncing off the damn walls. 

First up let me tell you the basics. I opted for the 16GB in Champagne. 

As you can see it isn't a horrible chav gold, it's more of a subtle golden shimmer. 

I love the colour and I am so glad I opted for the Gold. 

The fingerprint scanner is flaweless and freaking awesome if I do say so myself. You don't even have to push the home button just place the thumb over it and BAM you are in. 

My cheeky Despicable Me background. Awwwwh. 

Another one of the really cool new features is the slo-mo video option. I had hours of fun with that last night, I will upload some slo-mo footage of my cousins wedding next week for you to see. It captures at 125 frames per second. Basically it's so damn cool. 

Apart from that there isn't much new. Obviously making the jump from a 4 to a 5S is massive, it feels like I actually have a smart phone again instead of a phone struggling to type. 

Well worth the money.. I think. 

Hello little golden ray of sunshine

My shiny new iphone is finally here!

I will post some pics/initial reaction tomorrow but zomg yay.

How to be a great bridesmaid..

Saturday is the day of excitement and love for my family. 

The first of the 'kids' is getting married. 

This is so damn exciting for us all mainly because my lovely cousin is marrying the man of her dreams but also because we all get to be together dressed up and looking dapper. 

As I mentioned she is the first of the kids getting married, she is 25 so not so much a kid anymore but we still get shunned to the kids table on Christmas. 

Being the youngest at 22 years of age I have never been to  a wedding.. 

Ever.. 

I think this is mainly because everyone was either married or too young by the time I made my entrance into the world. 

There was nothing I wanted more than to be a bridesmaid when I was young so when my cousin called me on a cold December morning and asked me to be her bridesmaid I screamed with glee. 

Literally.

So far since being selected for the duty I have come up with a list of things to be the best bridesmaid possible. 

1) Don't let your ego get in the way.

If the bride wants you in a mud brown sack that is what you will wear and you will wear it with a smile.

2) Make sure the bride doesn't forget the little things. 

Manicure, Pedicure, hair dressers, makeup artists,

3) Be on hand with a magical bag full of goodies.
Things like plasters, tissues, tampons, hair pins. Anything that anyone could possibly need throughout the day. Having some sneaky sweets is also a good idea to keep the energy up.

4) Be the first to crack open the bubbly at 10am.
The Bride wants it but doesn't want to be the one to open it.

5) Make sure your Bride has the best day ever.
And party all night.

I can't wait for my cousins wedding on Saturday, I will upload some pics next week.

New York wishlist

As you may have seen I am off to the best place on the planet in a short 4.5 weeks. What better way to prepare for the trip than making a shopping list of all the stuff I NEED to get when I am there. 

1) A cosey plaid shirt

I love American Eagle a little too much but their plaid shirts are to die for. Definitely be picking up a few to keep me cosey this winter. 

2) PINK hoodies from VS

Anything with sparkles is a winner for me. I am all over this hoodie.

3) Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac

This particular mini mac is an exclusive for Nordstrom. Luckily there is one in NYC, can you guess where I will be heading? I love the colouring on this bag so versatility. 

4) M&M Cushion

The last time I was in NY I picked up an M&M fleece blanket which is one of my favourite things. I have decided this year a pillow will be making it's way back. 

5) A Sephora Haul

It's hard to say what I will get but I have no doubt it will hurt my bank balance. Especially as I have to get some treats for some of my friends from here. 

6) Tiffany charm bracelet

This one is only if my boyfriend is feeling nice. I have always wanted one and to say I got it from Tiffany NYC takes the biscuit. 

Of course there will be lots of other things picked up when I am out there but these are my main hankerings right now... 

30 days and counting.. 

Perfume obession

Every now and then I come across a new perfume that blows all my other scents out of the water. 

I then wear it for about 3 weeks non-stop and get bored of it. 

I am really trying not to do that this time but my new perfume obsession is... 

dum dum duuuuum. 

Marc Jacobs Honey, of course. 

I have no doubt you will have heard the reviews for this one as they are freaking everywhere but omg they are right. It is the dogs bollocks, it lasts for days and smells amazing. 

I picked it up in Boots 2 weeks ago, I did get the gift set as you get a shower gel and a lotion for the same price as the regular bottle. 

Great value and I love it. 

I will be taking the shower gel to NYC and smell beautiful if I do say so myself. 

New York City baby!!

I will be seeing you in 4.5 weeks!

Let me rewind a bit, it was my boyfriends 21st birthday on Saturday and as a present his parents and myself are paying for him to go to New York City. Of course he needed someone to go with and that someone would be me. 

I cannot wait to go back, it very much feels like a home from home for me. 

Eeeeeep! Excited!!

The Walking Dead news

I was happily browsing buzzfeed when I came across the amazing fact that The Walking Dead season 4's premiere episode opened to 16.1 million viewers!

This means it beat out Breaking Bad's finale episode by 5 million!!

Holy crap The Walking Dead. 

YOU ARE AWESOME!
