Ambition


As many of you will have already realised, I'm slightly obsessed with red lips and my red-lipstick-buying habit is showing no signs of disappearing. My latest little arrival was Lush's new lip paint, Ambition. Firstly, I have to say that the name of this product pretty much sums me up. I'm always ambitious - if not a little bit too ambitious. I have my head in the sky most of the day and will stop at nothing to secure a job in fashion PR. "You may say I'm dreamer, but I'm not the only one"...I couldn't help, but add the latter end of that sentence when I wrote it. If you haven't heard John Lennon Imagine, I suggest you Google it, although I'm pretty sure 99% of the population has done. A lot of my friends call me a dreamer, but to me, it's ambition. I know what I want and I'm always trying to figure out my way to get there. I want to prove that my dreams are a reality. 


Red lipstick always ignites that confidence within me and when I'm doing a presentation or need a confidence boost, red lip paint is my best friend and that's the simple reason why I can't get enough of it. If you haven't tried Lush's new set of liquid lipsticks, you have definitely been missing out. They are easy to apply, totally vegan and a little goes a very long way. Ambition is such a powerful colour and highly pigmented, the picture does not do it justice.


The best aspect of the Lush Ambition is the fact that one little pot can give you a variety of colours. Simply apply more if you're wanting an instantly bright colour or apply very little if you're wanting something a little more subtle. If you want a softened colour, you can apply the Kiss Lip Gloss. The kiss lipgloss is probably one of my favourite new products - it never leaves my handbag. The product tastes like sweeties and adds a beautiful pink glow to your pout. It's perfect for those days where you're wanting to avoid heavy lip coverage and you're looking for something quite natural. The product also includes fair trade Shea Butter to keep your lips moisturised. 

My only wish is that I had a Lush store closer to home, as it takes over an hour for me to get to the nearest one. Although, it could easily be a blessing in disguise, as I would probably spend half of my uni breaks shopping in there and dreaming of all things sweet scented.

For all of you unlucky ones like myself, there's always the Lush online store,  which never closes and sells all the products you could wish for. Why not pop a little bit of Ambition into your shopping cart? I know I will be doing when it runs out.

Valentines Day Glamour



A lot of my friends seem to ask me: "What is all the fuss about valentines day?" Most of them don't see them don't see the point in it or use the same excuse: "Why use one day of the year to show someone you love them? It should be all year round." My answer is simple - I find Valentines day fun, exciting and really, a chance to dress up...and I'm not speaking kinky. I'm an old school romantic. I believe in sending love letters regularly, saying I love you before hanging up the phone, kissing in the streets and doing all the things that most people seem to moan about. Valentines day isn't an excuse to say I love you, we say that enough already, but it's an excuse to pretend you have only just started dating and you have the puppy love feeling all over again. If you could go back to your first date, would you change the outfit you was wearing? Have a different hair colour?  In the image above, I have compiled my perfect Valentines outfit. Due to a spending ban, unfortunately I wont be buying anything, but a girl can definitely dream.

1: The Dress

Figure enhancing, cleavage exposing and pin up girl-esque, this dress is simply to die for. I love the way the dress pattern focuses on the slimmest part of your stomach, whilst the horizontal lines emphasize those curves. 

Available from: needthatstyle.com £99

2: Kandee Shoes

These red and gold Cherry lace Kandees will add an elegant touch to the outfit and a small bit of sparkle. You can't go wrong with a pair of trust Kandees - from my own personal experience, they are comfortable, reliable and make your legs look fierce. I've been longing for those shoes for so long, if only the shoe fairies would come visit me sometime soon.

Available from: www.kandeeshoes.com £169.00

3: The Necklace

The dress and shoes have such a vintage feel, so it would only be right to team the outfit up with a wonderful vintage style necklace. This Zara Taylor design is classic, sophisticated and would go with any outfit. Added to this dress, it would evoke a sense of  old Hollywood glamour and I'm sure Liz Taylor herself would have been happy to wear such an elegant neck chain. The best thing about this item is the fabulously low price of £20.

4: The Clutch

At £35 this Aldo Gooder Jewelled Box Clutch bag is the perfect finishing touch to the outfit. The gold embellishments tie in nicely with the gold on the shoes, the necklace and goes fabulously with the red dress. The cream colour is subtle and does not overpower the outfit. I think the clutch is very charming, feminine and something that I would love to own. The nude colour would go with so many different outfits for many different occasions. 

Available from: ASOS.com  £35

I'm seriously in love with this outfit. Red and gold really evoke a sense of love and lust, making this outfit a perfect choice for Valentines day. 

If you love the dress as much as I do and have the budget to spare, Needthatstyle.com has kindly teamed up with Forevermissvanity to give all my readers a very generous 10% discount on the dress! This means you can grab the dress for £89.99, saving a fabulous £10! You could buy some makeup with your savings...although I probably shouldn't be giving you ideas.

Christmas Frocks


Last night I went out for a meal with my fiance and his family and I had many compliments on my little gold dress. To be fair, it has laid at the bottom of my wardrobe since last Christmas and I was unsure whether to wear it. The dress was bought from Jones&Jones and has the most incredible petticoat, however I only like wearing it for special occasions as I sometimes feel ever so slightly over exposed due to the dress being backless. 


This is definitely one of my favourite festive dresses as it evokes the sense of glamour and looks rather angelic. The gold lace gives a sexy, yet feminine appeal and the petticoat adds volume to the hips, making your waist look tiny. This is perfect whilst indulging over the Christmas period.


All this talk of Christmas dresses made me want to do some online research and here's my favourite dresses currently on the market:

  • Jones&Jones Audrey Poppy Dress - £60
I love the festive red colour and big petticoat that most Jones&Jones dresses come with. It's a perfect dress for being twirled around the dance floor and having fun with your family. 
  • Topshop Sequinned Maxi Dress - £85
When visiting Liverpool Fashion Week a few months ago, I saw a wonderful young woman in a floor length sequinned maxi dress. Her hair was neatly tied into a bun and her makeup was flawless. She looked like she walked straight from the red carpet and I feel like this dress really encapsulates the feeling of glamour and old Hollywood.  
  • River Island Sequinned Prom Dress - On sale at £40
Clinched in at the waist with an elegant little bow, this little black dress will make you look like the perfect little Christmas present when you're wanting to impress someone. It's a very flirtatious dress with a rock'n'roll swing feel and this would be great for any Christmas parties. 
  • Lipsy V.I.P Sequinned Bust Dress - £110
I wore this dress to the Reveal magazine photo shoot last year. The dress is very comfortable, flattering for any figure and adds a slight sparkle for those who normally shy away from glitter.  

What is your favourite Christmas dress?
