Sex and the City 2

The amount of hype and hysteria surrounding the Sex and the City 2 film, which was released yesterday, is overwhelming. Not only is everyone organising girlie dates to watch the film with cocktails in hand whilst being pedicured, manicured and exfoliated at the same time (slight exaggeration), but the advertising has gone mad too; every billboard, magazine, newspaper and website I come across seems to feature the New York quartet.

Now, perhaps this is a contentious issue and I will receive hate mail for months to come but...am I the only woman not to be excited in the slightest about Sex and the City 2? Now, don’t assume that I have a huge dislike of Sex and the City and everything it stands for, I don’t, it’s just that I’m not that interested in the ongoing saga of the will-they, won’t-they, love affairs of Carrie Bradshaw and the neurotic tendencies and shrill tones of Miranda. I also think that the Sex and the City content has been done to death and stringing it out to a second film is too much. However saying that, count me in on the pre-film cocktails, I’ll just slide away before the curtains open.

Orly - Pastel Perfection

I love nail varnishes and am one of those people who can never go out without having nail varnish on and can't bear to see chips or bad workmanship. Anyway, enough about my idiosyncrasies, I am having a love affair with pastels at the moment and this also includes nail colour. I’ve spent the past few weeks trying to find the perfect pastels for my fingers and toes and have struck gold. I’ve found the ‘Sweet Color Collection’ by Orly which has the perfect shades of pastel with delicious names like cotton candy, lollipop and lemonade. Not only are these colours perfectly on-trend, and eye-catching but also incredibly easy to apply and hard wearing. The ideal choice for the summer!
