Rainbow series 3 - The Ragged Priest










Over It Mesh Crop // The Ragged Priest
Denim Acid Wash Spiked Shorts // Primark
The Eva Braid // The Braid Bar 

Sorreee, this post has been a REALLY long time coming! This is the final post of my rainbow series I started last month but didn't have the time to shoot this one. Blogging is hard when u work full time!

I could not round off the series without mentioning the Ragged Priest who have made an incredible collection this summer and personally, my fave yet!

Word of warning though to those who do have a mesh t-shirt or wanna get one, you can still sunburn thru it as I found out a couple of weeks ago when I wore it on the day Pride in London was on thankfully it was my back that got burned overwise if u don't wear a top underneath and u get burned from the front you'll def get some interesting sunburn patches in the shapes of rainbows on ur boobs! :)

freakin cool tee tho, love sporty mesh style tops like this, have worn a plain pink crop tho underneath for modesty and have teamed up with this fantastic furry Ragged Priest Bag (see I told u the collection was awesome!)

Go n see for yourself >> Shop

Oh, & did I mention there was an end of season sale on too - loads of their spring mom jeans are now in there!

Love, Sarah x

WAH London - The Ombre LA Summer Nails Edit




When I saw this WAH London Nail kit in the Boots Christmas catalogue last year I soo wanted to try it out.as everything is there for you in one box to make the design. I'd heard really good things about WAH London (who are based in Topshop Oxford street) and was really excited that they had now launched a concessions in Boots so I don't have to travel so far to get some funky nails.

It was abit too much of a summery design though for the festive season and as it retailed for £23 back then it was way over my Christmas stocking budget. Luckily they have still stuck around in Boots since and have also gone down to half price - yay! So I picked up this Dreamy Day nails kit and thought I'd give it a go!

Its actually really easy to do, though I got abit too impatient and didn't do the sponge bit as per the instructions I still got a pretty effective ombre effect.

This kit is the best one I have seen for the summer and has the coolest designs for your holidays or for festivals. Its def got a Californian LA vibe to the colours in this one! <3

Contents include:

x2 Nail Varnishes (one Pink - Slicker than your average, one Peach - LA days)
x3 Sponge Applicators
x2 Sheets of Nail Stickers (Gold Palm Trees & Peace Signs)
x1 Yellow Nail Art Pen





                        How to do Summer LA peace ombre nails

Add the base colour to your nails all over - leave to dry

Once dry, paint the bright pink nail varnish on to the sharp tip edge of the sponge and then working from the tip of  your nail, dab lightly to halfway down to create a fade

Load up your sponge again with more polish only this time down to a quarter of the way down the nail, repeat again only then only dabbing along the very tip of the nail to build up a solid colour at the end 

Once dry, peel off a peace sticker and apply to the middle of your nail

Finally, add a coat of clear nail varnish top coat to keep the sticker in place & voilĂ ! LA summer ombre nails! 


The kit does come with two versions of nail stickers so I think I will also try to do a reverse version of this ombre design & use the darker pink varnish and use the yellow nail pen to create yellow tips..keep an eye on my instagram - I'll post a photo of the results there!

WAH London are due to release the next in line to these box sets which is called Immerge. Immerge is a high jelly polish which helps you create psychedelic patterns on your nails. ooooh! These are due out in the next couple of weeks and will be on sale in Boots stores. Add your name here on the the WAH London mailing list to hear about when it comes in and get 10% off your order!

Have you seen any summer nail designs out there? :)

Love, Sarah  x

Soo I'm back after my very busy long weekend away at the British F1 GP (photos to follow up in due course!) my first experience camping with today being my first full day back n feel like I have the Glasto flu as I've heard it described from fellow festival gowers/friends who are experienced at the camping thing. In other words, I am completely exhausted from next to no sleep and feeling the effects after eating nothing but bacon butties and burgers for 3 days straight...lovely! :) never been so happy to see a plate of veggies for dinner when I got back, and no I'm not vegetarian! 

Annywayyy, The day before I headed up to Silverstone I went to London to visit the Braid Bar again who now have their stand permanently there now after their trial period began back in March (you can read about my first visit to the Braid Bar here) and got a Eva braid which is like one sidey cornrows.

I also thought I'd do some exploring whilst I was there so I went all touristy and sat down in St James Park for a while, just next to The Mall and shot this incredible tie dye kimono from Rat & Boa.

I knew my main summer piece I wanted this summer was a tie dye kimono but kept finding short ones, ones that were just abit too long or I wasn't keep on the colours but this one was just what I was looking for and I bought it for myself for my birthday a couple of months ago.Rat & Boa is def a brand u wanna keep ur eyes on in future!

As well as the online store, they also sell through Asos too :) check them out!

Love, Sarah x
