My nails this week: 

In honour of V-day, along with these:

Lurrrvely!

In other news, had a 'Boner Night' The official term right there - like a date night, but with more excitement! (Was going to explain that it's a standard female boner thing, but then read the description & it's not quiiiite what I mean...) with the BFF, during which we discovered possibly the best toilets in the world & remembered just how much we love living in London <3

Now just waiting for payday to roll around before we go somewhere else & do it all over again! 

Any suggestions for places to go in central welcomed - but in general we're pretty up for the whole getting-lost-and-loving-it thing :)

As for now, I'm just gonna sit back & watch the #LFW tweets roll in! 

Mad about the Mo

If I was a guy, I don't think I'd wait for Movember to have silly/fun facial hair...

But congrats to all of my awesome guy friends who are doing it & raising monies & awareness for all cancers that affect men ♥ 

Naked Leopard

I was going to title this Nude Leopard, but naked just sounds so much better :) 

(I am, of course, referring to my nails this week): 

Have been up to all sorts recently. Went down to the 'bourne to see the Mother, Brother & Dog & generally chillax by the sea...

Then after a super swift turnaround, it was off to see some lovely London ladies for film-watching, drinking & eating far too much & general good times! Oh, and a spot of nail admiration, obviously...

These were both done by the lovely Dani, who's website you can find here. 

Apart from that, it's been fairly quiet...but in quite a nice way :) 

Recently...

Playing (and winning!) scrabble at the Fitflat - what can I say, we're pretty wild...

A day of mooching around Southbank with Sj

& Simon

We went to the Press Photographer of the Year 2010 exhibition (which I would highly recommend! It's free, and totally worth a visit). 

I spent the day in Camden with Leanne, and after a spot of chinese & impulse buying, we spent many happy hours in a really cute cocktail bar...

Thanks to the legendary Leanne Effect (and happening to know someone who had just started work there), we got the happy hour prices all night long! 

Totally worth a re-visit. 

I've also been putting my culinary skills to the test, and made my first Mac'n'Cheese! It wasn't quite as good as The Mothers, but there again, what is? 

There are about 4 dishes I can claim to make pretty well, but if someone stays for more than a week it's pretty much destined to be beans on toast after day 5 :) 

I've also been working on my nails a bit more, and collating all the pictures into one (online) place. The oh-so-wittily named nailing-it*. 

I wish I'd thought of taking pictures of my nails right from the start, but oh well. I just thought it might be nice to see them all together, especially as it's rare for more than a couple of days to go by without someone commenting on them/asking how I did them/if they're wraps (definitely not!)

But check out, enjoy & let me know if anyone tries any/has better designs I can steal adapt...

*Feel free to throw any better nail-related puns my way...
