Viva Forever, Spice up your life!!


Oh My God, I must be one of the biggest dorks out there but I cant get the girly-ish grin off my face after having just watched a clip of the Spice Girls reunion performance at the London Olympics Closing Ceremony!!!

Of course I missed the live footage of the girlie's on TV (dang it) but thank God for YouTube and all things Internet!!

I have to say, after so many years apart and some alleged "differences" between my fave five girls they put on an awesome performance and totally rocked it!

I wish they'd get over their adult dramas and reunite already!! I was their biggest fan when I was growing up! My girlfriends and I were obsessed and a good part of me will always be a massive fan as corny as some of you may think that is! ;)

Plus, how hot do they all look all these years later?! I think Baby Spice (Emma Bunton) takes the cake for looking the best on the night, but I still love Mel B's crazy nature in her glittery body suit!

Viva Forever Spice-y fans!! The girls have still got it!!!!!

Stop Me. Take My Cards Away!


Take the Internet off me. I can't stop browsing the amazing world wide web full of gorgeous new season goodies begging me to buy them!

I am in no position to be spending my pennies on frivolous shopping but it doesn't stop my little heart fluttering every time I see something online that I love and want to buy. I can't help it. I'm a girl. Girls like shopping... I LOVE it! What I would love more is to graduate form uni and be earning a decent wage to support my strong love for retail therapy!

I spotted these cute accessories at Witchery this afternoon. Stop my beating heart.

App-less...


I have been getting nagged by my 10 year old cousin Jack to update my iPhone 4 to the new 5.1.1 software (or whatever its called) for over a month now so he can "i-chat" me? He has an iPod and apparently these days iPods aren't just good for music, you can chat on them too?! (Who would have thought)

So I updated my phone this morning with a few panic attacks!! I thought I'd lost all of my photos (all 1000+ of them), then I thought I'd lost all of my contacts but thank God for back-up (which I did three times mind you! lol)

Anyhow, in amongst the three back-ups I still managed to lose all of my apps *tears*

But it's OK. I remembered about four apps that I use regularly (i.e Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Runkeeper) but I can't think of any others!

Help me! I need to know what apps I should download, or which ones YOU can't live without that I might realise I can't live without it either! :)

Let me know below! xx



Oh, btw - how cool is that iPhone cover ^^ ?! I found it on Pinterest, here.

Bangs are back!?


More hair envy over here at Miss E's tonight. I just can't help but get all jealous when I see this girl rocking a big front fringe, aka bangs.

Taylor Swift.

I had a BAD case of the bangs when I was a kid. I had a fringe from probably the age of three or four, and it was so cute around this age, but as I got older and went through that awkward tween - teen stage it just looked.... bad. I mean, i cringe when I look at most of these pictures of myself around this age. Is it just me or do we all get really ugly at some stage of our "growings up" ?! lol

Plus, I have one hell of a cow-lick (here's the definition if any one is confused with this term! lol) that I couldn't control with my fringe (this was before I owned a hair straightener, in fact I don't think they had really hit the market big time yet!)

(image source)
Look at the shot of Taylor on the cover of Vogue! Amaze!

I would kill for another shot at rocking a fringe! I spent a long time growing out my fringe to a stage where it was long enough to look like it blended in with my long hair but now Taylor has me re-thinking things! There is something cute about having a fringe, but can also look sultry and edgy too!

What do you think?
Would you try the "bangs" look on your hair? Hair grows right???

Review: tried and tested dry shampoo!


Okay, so after my last post about dry shampoo I raced out to the shops this week in search of some dry shampoo to try for myself.

I wasn't planning on finding anything at my local Coles supermarket but when I was doing my weekly grocery shop I found some Toni & Guy dry shampoo in the hair care section. Score! I was planning on raiding price line but I thought to save myself an extra trip to town I would just settle for the supermarket stuff.



I used it for the first time yesterday and am now I'm in love. Dry shampoo is my new best friend! It's genius!

At first I was a little unsure how to use the stuff since it comes in an aerosol can. All I did was shake it up and spray it on my roots in problem areas like the front of my hair near my face where I feel like it always looks oiliest and some through the bulk of my hair to "spruce" it up.

It smells so yummy! I felt like my hair smelt yummy all day which helps with that paranoid feeling that your hair is in between washes and looks yuck! It also doesn't look yuck! The shampoo absorbs any oil that might be there and makes your hair look yummy as usual.

For around $15 I am sold! I'm sure that there are plenty of other cheaper brands out there but in the mean time this will suit me!

Another tip I picked up on is to style your hair according to where you feel your problem areas are whilst in between washes. Since I feel like my problem area is at the front, I take notes from Miss Lauren Conrad and pin back the areas that might look a little oily, easy!



I don't feel so bad about not washing my hair every second day now! I'm actually kind of excited to not wash it so I can use my new can of dry shampoo! haha 

Oh, also folks - today is Jeans for Genes day! I hope you don some cute jeans today to raise awareness for the Children's Medical Research Institute! I have no jeans on right now but will be rocking my skinny black jeans tonight for a friends farewell dinner! Get into the spirit loves!! x
