Cute spring nail look!

Hi guys! Today I thought if show you this cute spring nail look! You paint your thumb index and little fingers in a pastel pink colour, and then do a coat of a shimmery darker pink on your ring finger, and a clear coat on your middle finger. On your ring finger add some light pink diamontes, and add lots of silver glitter to your middle finger! I love this nail art and it's so effortlessly chic, easy to do, and looks so expensive! 
See you, love you all x gk

Orange; the colour to be wearing!

Hi everyone! Todays post is about a hidden beauty trend, and fashion but mainly beauty, and its the colour Orange! If you look at the ss14 catwalks, you'll notice one thing, and that is the orange lips, nails, cheeks, eyes springing up from everywhere. Its a very bright vibrant colour, that makes everyone feel happy! If your not feeling so brave, go for an electric orange nail, or subtle orange glow to the cheeks, even a hint of an orange eyeshadow- but if your feeling confident and ready to embrace your inner tangerine, then get yourself some bright orange lipstick, a powerful orange eyeliner, and a healthy orange tinted glow. Trust me, it may sound disgusting, but it works so well, and is sooo fashionable atm. Orange screams summer, and you can even try some orange in your clothes and accessories. To be completely fashion savvy, bag yourself some bright orange cut out jelly shoes, these are trending so much right now, and is just the most gorgeous, stand out piece by far for this season.
If you try out this trend, and found this post super helpful, be sure to post a pic on Instagram and tag me in the comment @gracekxdd_

Bye everyone, have a good week! x gk

Back to school routine!

Hi everyone, tommorow yes for me it's the first day back to school, sad sad times. But as the holidays draw to a close, I wanted to just give whoevers reading this a helping hand to kick starting their school term with a bang! First of all, make sure you get your school uniform or outfit if you don't have a uniform ready the night before, trust me it saves a lot of time and panick! Secondly, get all your books and equipment ready the night before too so you don't panick for things in the morning an you don't start the day with stress! Then set your alarm so that you have plenty of time to get up, for tips on how to get up check out one of my previous posts for a more detailed helping hand! Then listen to some relaxing music and settle your mind, do some stretches and think possitive things, it may sound cheesy but trust me it's much easier to get to sleep! Also make sure your not eating two hours before you go to bed as this prevent indegestion and discomfort, and also out your phone down a good hour before bed, I know it's hard, but if you can it really helps your sleep. Make sure you have a good breakfast and also it's nice to put a possitive quote beside your bed to really help you want to get up and get on with the day! Be friendly, be kind and don't let things get to you, surround yourself with people that make you happy and you can't go wrong! 

Bye everyone, have a good first day back, love you all x gk

Spring Fashion Trend; Icy White

Hi everyone! Today i'm doing another post on a new exciting spring trend! This one is all about the icy whites, head to toe white is the way to go as this exciting fashion movement heads into spring 14! I haven't yet been brave enough to go for the head to toe, but you never know, give it time! If your as nervous as me about stepping out in the cooler hues, then just grab yourself a massive white boyfriend tshirt, and a pair of white jeans/shorts. These key pieces are not only essentials for your wardrobe, but can also be worn together to create the look! With some trends you may go out and buy a very overpowering dress or skirt, and never actually pluck up the courage to wear it, but with this, even if you don't go for the full white look, you can still use the pieces to style up thousands of everyday outfits! To get your snowy fix check out; http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/uk/catalog/category.jsp?id=WOMENS-TOPS-EU&skucolor_normalized=white  For your white tops and; http://www.zara.com/uk/en/woman/jeans-c361514.html   For your white jeans!

Have fun with the trend, and become one icy cool gal ;)

Bye everyone! x gk

Topshop Spring Leggings

Hey guys, sorry I forgot to post this last night but here it is this morning! This spring I have decided to experiment with print on my bottom half, and so I decided it was time to re discover my love for printed leggings! I went into topshop last week and I knew it was going to be a good shopping trip! They recently have in loads and loads of different printed leggings, the great thing is that there thicker than normal leggings, more like jeggings and leggings combined, and the prints are all gorgeous. I picked up two pairs at £25 each, so not the cheapest but deffinitely worth it. The ones I got are the blue red and white checked pair, and the turquoise red and white pair in a sort of floral, circles pattern- and I loveee them. There perfct to be worn with a crop tee and a light denim jacket and so Spring and summery. So go and get yourself some!

I'm Back!

Hi everyone! So sorry i haven't posted in such a long time, I've actually been away recently and had a lot of school work to do. But now i'm back, and i thought id let you know that from now on i'll be posting three times a week, Tuesday, Thursday, and sunday! So make sure your active at these times, it will usually be in the evening time in the UK, so be sure to check out my posts!

Today i thought I'd do a quick review of a product i got recently, its the Sleek brow kit in the colour Light. My hair is a dark blonde colour with a few lighter highlights, it is getting light now the suns out! I don't usually do anything to my eyebrows at all as they are naturally quite well shaped, but as you know if you read my Sleek blusher review, i adore Sleek and I'm obsessed with it at the moment! I would definitely recommend using this kit if you have the same hair colour and you want to give your brows a bit more definition without them look fake or drawn on. The other thing i love about this product is that its so sooo easy to use! You just take the angled brush and use the tinted gel to shape your brows and give them some colour and definition, and then you take the round fluffy brush and use the light browny colour powder to set them in place. I just love the look this gives, as it doesn't look artificial at all, but still gives you the subtle impact to help frame your face. DEFFINITELY give this a go, you won't regret it i promise, and its so cheap too, just £7-8 i can't quite remember but something around that price!

Thats it for today, byee guys! x gk
