OOTD - New Year, New Start ...

New Year, New Start!

That's my motto for this year.

Happy New Year to y'all, hope you had a good one. I've had this past week off work and have hit the shops while everyones been back at work/school. It has been loooooovely. Quiet, peaceful, a really relaxing shopping experience. I cant deal with the shops if they're busy and messy, hence why my sale spree never really materialised.

I picked up these sparkly shorts in H&M during the week and love them! They're slightly high-waisted which is something i have shyed away from in the past. I've always wanted a pair of high-waisted shorts but have told myself i will treat myself to a nice pair once I've sorted out my bikini body. I didn't realise they were high-waisted when i bought them (never try anything on ...) but i think they look ok, plus now i have the added incentive to begin (and stick to) the 30 Day Shred.

These photo's were also the first I've taken with my new camera! Still getting used to it, hoping for some nicer weather so i can go out and about and practise taking some snappy snaps.

Hows 2012 treating you so far? What are your hopes and dreams for the year ahead?

NOTD's ...

Hi dolls!

Was searching through some pictures on my laptop the other night and found a couple of quick photo's i had taken for NOTD's but never got round to posting and/or weren't quite good enough for a whole dedicated post.

First up is a leopard nail art look:

I decided to try something a bit different from my trusty gold/peach look which i actually don quite regularly now. Unfortunately i wasn't too keen, plus the grey polish i used had gone a bit funny and chipped horrifically within about 10 hours! *big sad face*

I'm gonna give the leopard nail art another go with some other colour combinations - what do you recommend?

Also:

I totally adore the silver polish (so glittery!) from ELF but the jury's still out on the dark blue/black from George @ Asda. I'm thinking i shoulda put a bit of nail art (polka dots or the like) on the nails somewhere as it looks a bit odd, no??

So there we have it,  a couple of NOTD's that didn't quite make the cut but i thought I'd give you a little sneak peak before they're hidden in the depths of the numerous photo album's on my laptop.

What do you think of these? Would you like to see more nail posts on The Notebook?
