We're all a little mad here!

Even at the grand old age of 27 I still have a penchant for all things Alice in Wonderland. From the background history into why and how it was written, with Lewis Carroll apparently off his head on drugs throughout, up to the present day movie remake (Johnny Depp as the Hatter.Perfect.) the quirkyness of it all is something that really draws me in.
Anyway my Mum being as brilliant and thoughtful as she is picked me up some Jewellery from the range at The House of Fraser, and I am so in love with it that I thought I would share...
Top to bottom
Moulded key bracelet
'Drink me' bottle necklace
Hatter top hat earrings 

Obviously I wont be overkilling the theme and throwing them all on together but individually I heart each piece, the key bracelet being my favourite although I lost the little 'made with care in Wonderland charm' that was hanging from it I'm sure it's somewhere in my overgrown jungle of a back garden *sad face*

Anyhooo I hope you are all having a good weekend, me and the boyfriend are off to see the last Harry Potter tonight, for once I'm chuffed that my memory is like a sieve and I've forgotten the ending from the book.

I love Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb,it's in my top 5 perfume's of all time and the scent stay's on my skin for ages. the list looks like this 1.Alien Thierry Mugler 2.Angel-Thierry Mugler 3.Flowerbomb-viktor & Rolf 4.J'adore-Dior 5.Cinema-YSL 


Have a room in my house specifically for my Make-up...
This is my idea of the perfect space for blogging, Im sure I would be the most chilled out girl in the world if I had a room Just like this! I did randomly bump into a really lovely psychic while shopping the other week who told me that I would be moving house,hopefully the new home will have a room like this :)


Have an Alice in Wonderland themed fancy dress party...



I plan to do this for my Birthday which is in July,I have found the perfect girl Mad Hatter costume and now can't actually wait to turn 27 and have a very merry unbirthday!

I really love Alice in wonderland, I love the use of symbolism and philosophies throughout that make it such an amazing adaptable classic.I was so gutted that I missed out on the Urban Decay book of shadows,if anyone sees one in a blogsale please let me know.

Costume from legavenue.co.uk


Take a trip...
To Las Vegas
And New York.
I have got my Son on board for Vegas after showing him loads of the cool hotels,he is now as desperate as me to go and wants to go to ceasers palace (he's into the Romans at the minute)


Finally I want to go and be in the audience at Celebrity juice, but that's actually happening 2 weeks from today,thanks to my amazing Best friend Tracie and her Boyfriend Dave,who snapped up 4 tickets and asked me and my boyfriend to go along eeeeeeek,very excited about it,I couldn't keep it in :))

'So if I dont see you through the week I'll see you through the window!'
(For non Keith fans this is his sign off, im not a stalker ;))

Bad influence Beauty Bloggers

I wasn't planning on doing a post today due to being slightly hungover and full of greasy food and mini eggs!!!
But after spending the day laying on the sofa reading every beauty blog i possibly could (you know when u fit from link to link?)
I am feeling inspired to (lazily,sorry) share a list of new found wants...



YSL TEINT RESIST 
I have actually wanted this for a while..i have a box full of magazine cut outs with tips and cute pics called 'Fordys fab box' (sad but true) and this foundation is in it.Thanks to this blog post by the fabulous Charlotte,this foundation is back on the list.....
So is this one...
Nars sheer glow
Again thanks to Charlotte @ charlottes obsession's foundation search post I have yet another foundation to add onto my very long list of wants!! I must do a post on all my foundations I've actually lost count of them but it's my fave make-up item ever its not my fault really!

Urban decay Alice in wonderland book of shadows
I've been desperate for this for a while,but seeing Charlotte @ lipglossing's breathtakingly stunning pictures of the Alice palette,the lust has been well and truly rekindled!!
If anyone knows where i can get this from without forking out nearly £100 on ebay I would be massively grateful!! x



The Charlotte's are officially bad for my bank balance
(great for my face though so meh!)


OPI Pirates of the carribean polishes
I'm not massively into nails as i don't have any of my own and normally wear falsies, but i'm a big sucker for cute product names! ( I would lovea job naming products) I saw these on The beauty scoop last week,and rather fancy 'sparrow me the drama'. 


Topshop eye crayons
The swatches and description provided by Georgina at make-up wishes were enough to convince me that I need to add these to my eye crayon collection ASAP!


And the BIGGEST bad influence award goes to...
ME!

Obviously It's nigh on impossible to peruse the internet without a spot of ASOS'ing......

Two faced 'lash gasm' Mascara



URBAN DECAY POCKET ROCKET  Lip gloss  (James)

I'm really loving these especially the fact that there are 9 shades,each of which has a man's name and a l'il man in it's lid CUTE AS HELL!!!!!!!!!!! I'm rather fond of James and Kirk,and wondering if they might be named after the guy's from Metallica!? 
There is also one named Timothy,which is my Dad's name so i might get it my Mum for Mothers day.


Ok I'm gonna stop now,I dont want to appear too greedy!

HAS ANYONE GOT ANY OF THE ITEMS ON THIS LIST?
PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT THEM IN THE COMMENT BOX BELOW!!
