BEAUTY: Barry M New Glitterati AW14 Range

Tuesday, 14 October 2014

I got a super excited package from Barry M earlier this month and I couldn't want to show you guys! Sadly, I had to wait because my camera wasn't working but that doesn't matter now because I have my photos and I'm ready to blog plus it gave me some time to try a few of them out!

Below is Barry M's new range of Glitterai polishes

(Fashion Icon, Socialite, Starlet

(L-R)Rockstar, Catwalk Queen, VIP

As usual, Barry M glitters are the easiest to work with and two coats are all you need - plus they dry super fast which is always a bonus.

The colours themselves are quite jelly looking bases choc full of holographic glitter which means no sparkle-less gaps (a pet hate of mine, if your going to do glitter nails, you have to do it properly!!) and as a thick glitter lover, another point that I have to make is that the finish was lovely and smooth.

I think they are going to be perfect for this time of year ready for Halloween and Christmas as to me, they look quite magical!

I'll post photos of the other shades when I wear them, so watch out!

I probably should have just titled this : The best cake you have ever tasted. I was originally meant to get this cake for my birthday back in August but I ended up being so busy and not having time to pick it up until a few weeks after so I called up the lovely girls at bakery and had the "Happy 21st Georgina" Changed to "Georgina Does" so that I could still feature it here on my blog!

Now let me tell you how good this cake is! It was an 8 inch cake - which on the site says for 10-12 people. I brought it home on the Friday, had a slice for myself which was wonderful, went to Andrews for the weekend, which left 3 cake eaters at my house - my dad and both my brothers. I came home on the Sunday to less than a 1/4 of the cake left - Which I immediately claimed for myself putting a "Do Not Eat" sticky note on it so that I could finish the rest haha. I can see why they got though it so quickly, it is such a yummy cake with the perfect cake to butter cream ratio! I also love that red velvet is a cream cheese butter cream which makes it not so sickly sweet.. mmm so good! Isn't red velvet just the best style of cake around and The Hummingbird Bakery definitely do the best one I've tasted!

The process of ordering online looks super easy with step by step of what size, how your was the crumbs on top and a text box to write out the message for the top, plus you can choose super cute decorations for £1.25 to put on the top but when I got mine I called up and ordered that was which was just as easy! The girls there were great since I had to keep changing the pick up day! I finally popped into the Soho store picked it up and took it home!

I could really do with another slice right about nowwww!

When Georgia's back there's always somewhere new to explore! This time we were invited along to a Bubble Tea Store in Soho called Chatime! Very exciting since it is such a huge craze at the moment and I seem to be the only person who has never tried it before but now I have. I've tired it all haha.

The good thing with bubble tea here is that you can completely personalise it from whether you want it hot or cold to the different bubbles or jelly cubs in the bottom, the sugar level in the tea and the toppings.. soo much choice! That's why we just had to try as many as possible and after all the different variations, my favourite one just so happened to be the first one we tried and the stores most popular - The plain cold milk tea with pearl (tapioca bubbles) and Georgia's fave wasn't far off either - she loved the same but with the hazelnut syrup!

My next favourite was a thick chocolate drink which was really lovely and creamy with a white moose (they called it Pudding) on top - this was probably the sweetest drink we tried! Another was the Lychee tea with the square jelly things and we tried a mango one too, both of these were refreshing. We also tried a strawberry smoothie and a few others as well! When it was time to leave, the lovely girls in the store insisted we take them all with us and they re-topped them so they were secure to travel! With far to many, we kept our favorites and gave some to a homeless man!

Later this year, they are hoping to open other stores in Shoreditch and Oxford street which are both great locations. I will definitely be popping back in!

On the 23rd of September it was Vogue's Fashion Night Out and I was invited along to spend my night at Superdry in their Premier Lounge! We got to meet MTW presenter Lilah Parsons who picked out some of her favorite pieces (including the dress that I picked up). She was wearing a super cool Superdry tassel leather jacket with her initials on the back! Which is something Superdry are now doing for anyone who purchases a jacket! Apparently Poppy Delevingne wore the same on her hen weekend with "POPDOG" written on hers.

After eating all the sweets and coconut water, One of the lovely girls there took me around the whole of the A/W range - it was totally different for Superdry, don't get my wrong, I actually love all the sporty stuff with the huge logo (as you may know) but there wasn't a logo in sight! I got home and my mum thought I'd come back from All Saints! It's such a high quality range and it just looks so expensive! Plus, the experience of shopping in the Premier Lounge was great, they had huge changing room with sofas and massive mirrors which made for some much fun trying everything on and taking lots of selfies!

Huge Thanks to Superdry for a great evening!

I loved this chocolate coconut water from Chi so much that they even sent me some to have at home! They are dairy free which is amazing considering how good they taste! I have been drinking them ice cold from the fridge for breakfast and they are so good! Apparently you can heat them up too which I might try with my last one! So sad I only have one left - I need to get some of some more ASAP!!

And here is what I picked up from Superdry. I love each and every piece here as a whole outfit plus I love each piece separately for other outfits - Those boots are going to look so good with my black skinnies! I had a super hard time deciding between the leather jackets as I loved the cropped one that Lilah had on but this one that I picked in the end was super thick and warm which is going to be great for the coming months! I wore this look out last week for a posh date night with Andrew switching up the boots for some peep toe heels!
