It's Friday!!! + Passion For Fashion Link Up

Bonjour.
 
xXx
 
Haha! You weren't expecting that, were you? Well I'll explain.
As you may have noticed, I've been spending a bit of time recently, on giving my blog a bit of a face lift- a few touches here and there, to make it that little bit more 'me'. Well I've also been thinking along the same lines about content, and have decided that I would like to put my French skills to use and write regular bilingual posts. I've seen a couple of other bilingual blogs, and the idea just appeals to me a lot- what a great way to practise your language skills whilst, at the same time, reaching a wider audience :) I'll have to take some time getting the schedule all set up (I have grand ideas of a potential French language course for beginners too!) but for the time being I think it'd sound good to have 'French on Friday'... what do you think? Let me know your thoughts it the comments :)

But now, for the all important business of the wonderful, weekly Passion For Fashion link up (which also takes center stage of a Friday!)

 This is an outfit I wore for lunch out with a friend the other day. I always feel very comfortable in skinny jeans and these black ones are my smartest pair. You can dress them, either up or down, just as easily. The top, my Beloved described as 'a bit trippy' the first time he saw it :) I love it for its effortless style- the way it falls and the feminine tie at the back. It really shows off the silhouette. The earrings were a 20th birthday present from my aforementioned Beloved, and I get complimented on them all the time due to their uniqueness!
 
Hope you all had a lovely Friday :)

New Year Nails- French Manicure Stickers Review

 
 
Hello There :)
 
xXx
 
I think I first heard properly about manicure stickers here from Kaylah of the wonderful Dainty Squid blog (really, she is my favourite, favourite blogger of the moment, I have got so many new and cool ideas from her!)
So, since seeing these french manicure nail stickers on the Yves Rocher site a few days ago, I have been dying to try them out. Today I bought myself some and voila les résultats:

It's very important that I like these stickers because I'm including a pack in my Grow Your Blog post giveaway which will go live on the evening of 24th January... (and yes- I love them!) They are easy to use and give a very clear and neat finish. I'm so pleased with them, I hope you'll like them too- see, tried and tested just for you :)

Well, I hope you're all having a brilliant start to 2014, I know that between job hunting (fingers crossed!) and crochet projects that I am ;)
