Big Brother sparkles

Well the new series of Big Brother began last night over on channel 5 and from what I could see it was more like celeb big brother filled with a load of z listers (models, porn stars, other halves of celebs).

Deana - Currently Miss India UK
Conor - Has a party trick where he can wrap his bits around his wrist!
Chris - Says he will be the biggest two faced person in the house
Caroline - Apparently has 5 hairbrushes (debatable if she uses them)
Benedict - Teacher turned Porn Star
Arron - Model
Adam - formerly a member of the and LA Crips
Ashleigh - Ever other word is a swear word - classy
Victoria - Model
Shievonne - Hula Hoop champion and former Playboy Bunny
Scott - Former Avon rep
Sara - Former Miss Edinburgh
Luke S - Club Promoter
Lydia - Professional dancer and engaged to Andy Scott-Lee
Luke A - Born female
Lauren - Can drive a tractor.

There was a lot of sparkles when it came to the contestants outfits, i loved Lauren's dress and sparkly pink heels, although i personally wouldn't have worn them together. You can get similar pink shoes, ones i have found are from Kandee Shoes (Pink Lemonade) and cost £168, i found some more pink sparkly shoes on the Viva La Diva website - Bordello Teeze Platform for only £73.54, these are a darker shade of pink.

Sara wore a very tiny Gold glitter dress which didn't leave much to the imagination! It was a cute little number but just a tad short and revealed a bit too much for my liking.
Lydia - Big Brother 2012 

I did like Caroline's prom style dress, it was black with some nice glitter and sparkle, although i think her hair could do with a good comb.

Lydia's dusty pink body con dress from Celeb Boutique was really nice too, it was simple yet i think the best outfit of the night, very sophisticated, although i don't know if Lydia is going to be as sophisticated in the house, especially after her reaction of been selected by Deana to go up for eviction this week!

There was another Celeb Boutique dress featured on Big Brother - the Beyonce Blue and Black body con dress worn by Victoria.

I am undecided if i will watch the rest of Big Brother as it looks so predictable, and i was hoping for the opening to be abit more exciting, i actually thought that the 'secret task' given to Deana was a bit boring! Maybe it will pick up? Who knows?

Colourful skirts


Pastel Flippy skater skirt
Blue Tropical Print vest
I just bought this lovely Pastel Flippy yellow skater skirt from Miss Selfridge today for £28 it is really nice and perfect for the summer, although I was a bit disappointed when I for home to discover that there was a little hole where the security tag was attached which means I am going to have to take it back and hopefully exchange it for one without security tag damage. It is only a slight hole but the material is the sort which might not hold if there is a slight tear or hole so id rather not risk it.

The Pastel Flippy skater skirt is also available in a few other colours including pink and blue, but i do prefer the yellow, I'm hoping it will go with my new Blue Tropical Print vest from Dorothy Perkins.

I was quite surprised with myself for going for a coloured skirt as i usually go for the standard black colour, so i have had a look for some more colourful skirts which i like the look of.

I like this Purple Airtex Pleated Skirt, i love the material and the length is quite good as it is not too short, It costs £34.00 from Topshop, i think this might go nice with a simple vest top and some summer wedges.

This Tropical Print Wrap drop skirt from Miss Selfridge has a lot going on but i do love the print, i would team it with a simple top so that the top and skirt don't clash. The drop skirt is quite popular at the moment and there are a few designs in shops ranging from plain colours to prints.

I do like the colour blocking on this Louche Seadra Box Pleat Skirt i found on Joy the store website for only  £29.00 its available in Red/Pink and then in a light and dark blue. If i had the Red/Pink skirt i would team it with maybe a cream blouse with a nice print to add a bit of detail to the outfit. I think this Cat Print pussybow blouse would work nice with the Louche Seadra Box pleat skirt, the print is quite unusual but quirky.

There are a lot of nice colourful skirts out there at the moment but i think Miss Selfridge have  great selection at the moment so go check them out.
