Disney Wishlist #18

My Favourite Movies To Lift My Mood

If you're a natural human being you're going to have down days. It's a fact of life, especially with the devils that are hormones.

When it comes to cheering myself other than food, yes chocolate DOES work, I love to chill out on my awesome corner sofa and put on a 'feel good' film! So here's a little list of my favourites.... and if you haven't seen them I highly recommend you do!

Love, Rosie

This has got to be up there with my top 5 favourite movies ever. It makes me laugh, it makes me cry, it makes me happy! Lily Collins is just awesome as Rosie - if you haven't seen this you are seriously missing out on the perfect rom-com.

Look Who's Talking

This movie reminds me so much of my childhood, my parents named me Kirstie after seeing Kirstie Alley's name and I always loved her as an actress growing up.

This film is still a total classic.... and the more I grow up the more I fancy the pants off of John Travolta!

The Bridget Jones Trilogy

What female would not want to sit down and watch Renee in her big pants! Bridget Jones is so iconic and Bridget Jones' baby, for me, was even funnier than The Edge Of Reason! I'll never get bored of these.

Just Go With It
This has got to be my favourite Happy Madison movie! Full of lols AND most of it is set in Hawaii.... which we all know is my number one on the bucket list of life!

The Wolf Of Wall Street
My favourite Leo movie. And Leo always knows how to make us feel better! This is a three hour movie so make sure you sit down and clear your afternoon for this one. This is honestly probably my favourite movie ever made in the history of time! so.bloody.good.

90s Disney

The classics from my childhood. Aladdin, Beauty & The Beast, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid (okay I know that's 80s!), Pocahontas, Toy Story, Hercules, Mulan .... these of course always make me feel better. Ain't no movie like a Disney movie.

OOTD || My Best Friend's Wedding

I'm sure most of you saw photos on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook but a few days ago one of my best friends in the entire world finally had her magical wedding day..... and I thought I'd share with you (after months of stressing) what I decided to wear!

O.W.L Watches Belfast Rose Gold & Pink Watch

Pretty wrist alert!

Over the last couple of years I've become such a watch lover. I'll send forever looking through the watches on ASOS or spotted them out of the corner of my eye when out shopping, and I don't think I'm the only one.
They've become as much as a daily accessory for us fashion lovers as a handbag or pair of shoes - so when I have the chance to review a gorgeous watch from O.W.L Watches I couldn't wait.

O.W.L Belfast Rose Gold & Pink Watch*

O.W.L. watches are a British brand offering a collection of vintage styled pieces brought up to date with gorgeous design features such as polished metal finishes and dual layer dial details.

Each watch comes in a gorgeous Victorian inspired box giving the piece a lovely luxury feel - I was actually so impressed with how lovely it is, such a fab place to store it and it looks amazing if you're giving it as a gift!

The Belfast features a 33mm diameter stainless steel rose gold case, a rose gold sunray layered dial and has gorgeous roman numeral details.
I was a little worried at first that the face would look huge on my tiny wrist but it's a great fit - doesn't look too big for me at all!
The leather strap has a delicate brogue detail and is a gorgeous baby pink shade. It has a slight iridescent shine to it which makes it really pretty in the light and I'm loving having a watch that isn't made of links. Super girly and it's rose gold - perfect for Spring/Summer!

Make sure to check out O.W.L's website for this and all their other designs - I'm obsessed!

My ASOS Saved Items #1

I don't think there has been a day in the last month that I haven't visited ASOS.com.
I honestly think I may have an addiction.

The variety it has, the constant new stock.... that god damn sale! I love this website and with it's next day delivery on every order with my ASOS Premier sometimes it's hard not to go ahead and order stuff! I am constantly adding things to my 'saved items' and I'm sure you guys are the same, so I thought I would share today a few things I have added recently..... hurry up payday!!!

Kirstie's 2014 Favourites

Happy New Year one and all! I hope you all had a lovely time what ever you did to ring the new year in!

It's 2015 and I am seriously looking forward to the next 12 months aren't you?

Looking back over the last year I definitely tried out my fair share of products! (alot of them at that!)

Hair, skin, make-up.... the list is pretty much endless and with them there has been some obvious stand outs that have been used over and over again and in some cases even repurchased!

So instead of doing a December favourites I thought I would give you my 2014 favourites - with a few added non-beauty related things too!

Vera Wang Princess Perfume

I bought this when I was on my way to Florida, I've wanted it for so long and decided to treat myself! I love it and now the scent reminds me of Disneyworld - amazing right?

Maxfactor Masterpiece Max Mascara

This year I have fallen totally back in love with this mascara! It is hands down my favourite mascara ever!

MAC Rebel Lipstick

Probably my most worn lipstick this year! I love this shade so much!

Seventeen Phwoarr Paint Concealer

The best concealer everrrrrr. This keeps my bags at bay, I have literally been through about 6 already!

thebalm Bahama Mama Bronzer

You may have seen my review on this a few weeks ago! This has become my everyday bronzer to contour with, it is a matte beauty!

Wicked

Most of you probably know already I am obsessed with Wicked, and this year me and my mummy finally got to see it after years and years of waiting! IT was everything I dreamt of and more - totally incredible, I porbably listen to the soundtrack everyday!

Folli Follie Rose Gold Watch

This was sent to me back in the summer and I have literally worn it every single day since! I honestly think I would be lost without a watch now.

Taylor Swift - 1989

My girl bought out her new album and as per it is totally and utterly perfect! I cannot fault Taylor or 1989 AND I am going to see her again in June, I am SOOOO excited I could cry!

Neal & Wolf Elevate Voluminsing Lotion & Guard Heat Protect Spray

This brand is definitely one of the best finds of the year! The two products I have from them have become firm favs and I cannot wait to try out more of the range this year!

Aveeno Skin Relief Lotion

I first bought this as I had seen a review by another blogger saying how well it had worked for them, and you know... if a blogger likes it - I want it! This is worked so so well on my dry skin, especially the bad patches I get on my shins, I wouldn't use anything else on it now!

September Favourites 2014

I think this is probably the latest I've ever put up a monthly favourites - I can't believe it's October 12th already!

But I couldn't just forget my favourites for September, no sir! I had a few products which really stuck out throughout the month and couldn't not mention them!

A few beauty products first! Starting with Vera Wang Princess.

A perfume I have wanted for years and years finally made it's way into my collection when I was on my way to Florida! I knew that I wanted to buy a new perfume for my holiday so the scent could always remind me of the trip - sad I now but it does really work - and when I saw this on offer in Gatwick I knew I had to have it!

This 50ml bottle was less than £30 and I am so glad I bought it, I smelt fab for my whole holiday and it wasn't until I got to Disneyworld that I realised how perfect the name of the perfume was!

Next is the Make-Up Forever HD Foundation. You may have seen me talk about this in my Florida Haul video on Youtube but I had to put it in my favourites for last month too as it is sooo good!

I knew I was going to pick this up when I went to the US as it had been on my wishlist for so long and it was the first thing I picked up when I skipped into Sephora! The colour I picked is slightly darker than my skin at the moment but I've been mixing it with my L'oreal true match foundation to bring it down a shade! It is so so good I am obsessed, gives me skin a gorgeous finish plus doesn't feel super thick and heavy like my Mac Studio Sculpt.

On holiday I become addicted to this next product. I have already done a review for this No7 highlighter - here - if you want to read more about it, but last month I wore it constantly! It was perfect was my more relaxed minimal make-up look for the daytimes in Florida, it gave me a gorgeous glow and a tint of bronze too!

Lastly on the beauty front I've added in Bath & Body Works' Anti-Bac Hand Gels. These are my favourite favourite favourite things to have in my handbag! I was so glad to be able to stock back up on these - only $5 for 5 is something I just can't say no too! I'm hoping all the ones I got last me a while!

Last time I went to Disneyworld I spotted this iPhone case but decided to be sensible and save my money (not cheap at about $40) - although I regretted it as soon as I left Orlando! So when I saw it again this time I talked myself into getting the beauty! I have my 5S for another 18months so knew I'd get alot of use out of it! I love it so much, it looks awesome and feels and fits so much better than all those cases I had from eBay!

This Watchalicious watch from Folli Follie* has been on my wrist permanently since recieving it. It is the perfect size and shape for me and after having a few links taken out I am so so pleased with how it fits and looks, I actually think I'd be lost without this now!

Last but not least I've got some snazzy footwear which I lived in throughout September! You may have seen my talk about these on twitter - they are the flopZ Siam Flip-Flops with pink straps* and they saved my feet on holiday!

These flip flops have an amazing massaging gel sole which makes walking feel like a dream - I don't know about you but walking round in flip-flops for me can become really uncomfortable so these are a genius invention!

I know it's Autumn now so the time for flip-flops and sandals wearing is diminishing fast but I think I'm even going to start wearing this round the house!

flopZ I must high five you on such an amazing creation!

Wishlist : Pastels

With Spring nearly in sight I've been on the look out for all the new stock stores are getting in both in store and online.
Something which I knew was going to be a hot trend for SS14 and I have always loved is pastel colours.
Pinks, blues, greens, yellows - pastels always look so feminine, girly and classy and I love what the high street is coming up with for this year.
With that in mind I thought I would go ahead and do another wishlist post - this time... the top pastels items I have spotted and have my beady little eyes on.
