Purchased: Market HQ - MOTEL Jodie Trousers

Motel Rocks 'Jodie' Trousers from Market HQ ($104 - $59)

I bought these pants recently from Market HQ online, and the doorbell ringing at 8am was worth it when I saw the package contained these babies! Market HQ stocks some amazing brands; Minkpink, Somedays Lovin', Bless'd Are The Meek, Finders Keepers, Evil Twin and Motel to name a few. It usually takes just under a week to get to me, which is great, and the packaging is always really cute. If you ordered this week, you got a copy of Famous magazine so I've got my supply of trashy gossip ready for those late nights. 

The website states that the model is wearing a size small, but only the extra small, medium and larges were in stock. I took a chance and ordered the xs, and when it arrived, it looked super small. I feared the worst, but luckily the material is amazingly stretchy and it fit alright! Little big snug on the waist, but it's such a cute item. It's also extremely high waisted, I'm berry pleased! I wore it today going strawberry picking with a long black pocket t-shirt from Sportsgirl and a pair of classic black Vans. 

Swatches: China Glaze 'Flip Flop Fantasy'

Hello to anyone who might be reading this! Today I decided to use one of my all time favourite nail polish colours, China Glaze's 'Flip Flop Fantasy.' I bought this polish from eBay, and it shipped in like two weeks from the USA, which I was so pleased about. I hardly ever use it though, because even though pictures may be deceiving - this colour is seriously blindingly bright. FFF is a neon orangey pink colour, and it absolutely pops, in sunlight, shade and even in the dark. No exaggeration. 

Because I hadn't used this polish in about 6 months, it required a good shaking to re-thicken the formula. It still took about three coats though. Even though the formula is kind of thick, it dries matte and so can look quite streaky, and so I kept layering until most of the streaks were covered. This is the only China Glaze polish I own, is this typical of their formulas? Even though I like matte polish, I used a clear top coat purely out of routine and I love quick dry top coats.. Laziness shining through.
