10 Simderella Commandments

Thou shall eat cake every Friday. It's important to ensure that at least one day of the week is filled with sprinkles and sugar.  


Thou shall watch Gossip Girl - even if it's just to ponder in to the world of Blair Wardorf her problems are much more interesting than ours.


Thou shall remove all make-up every night before bed. Don't worry when you're dreaming about Chace Crawford, he won't mind.


Thou shall be grateful for what we have - Shelter, food & love.


Thou shan't give up and will go on to conquer dreams and aspirations. The world is what we make of it and we SHOULD make it good.


Thou shall not be fake. Barbie dolls are not 'real' for a reason.


Thou shall keep up with all the latest beauty industry gossip. M.A.C and many other exciting brands ahem*Elemis, Clinique, Sanctuary, Clinique, Bobbi Brown, Aveda and NARS* will not admire themselves.


Thou shall read horoscopes when the world is looking grim - They have been written for a reason you know.


Thou shan't make others feel bad about themselves. This is a sin and forbidden. 


Thou shall always give 100% in everything, the world is what we put in it after all.


Happy Wednesday everyone!

Wednesday Waffle

• Did you know it’s national don't exercise and eat lots week? It's okay you can finally drop the 'my body must be lacking something because I can't stop eating' OR 'my ankle hurts a bit I must rest it'. Simderella has come to the rescue and found the perfect week to do the above to your heart’s content.
• It's okay to actually want your train to be delayed because you’re reading a really really exhilarating book. I've just finished reading 'A girl with a dragon tattoo' by Stieg Larsson and started reading the second in the sequel 'The girl who played with fire' and I genuinely wish I could sit in Starbucks with a red cup (accompanied by unlimited refills of toffee nut latte) and read it cover to cover. If there were enough hours in the day I'd probably read it when I came home from work but I'm currently abiding by 'don't exercise and eat lots week' - it's a hard life.
• Gossip Girl is on tonight. I love the upper-east side and it looks like Guerlain the previous GG sponsors have left and Maybelline have proudly taken their space. I think Guerlain was much better suited to the scandalous lives of Queen B, Lonely Boy and Mr Bass. However, Maybelline is well known for being associated with N.Y.C's yellow cab and they created the first ever mascara for everyday use. So I guess they will do. 
• Life's too short to be stressed and angry all the time. There really is more to life and a smile is really contagious you know. 

I must go and give Gossip Girl my undivided attention.....Until next time xoxo Simderella. 

 

Hello Upper East Sider's...Gossip Girl is back..

'People like me don't write books, we're written about' - Chuck Bass

Some people may call me 'sad' for obsessing over New York's MVP's (in the form of a TV series) I'm not sure if it's the glitz and the glamour or seeing the drama's that the elite have, usually resolved by ' the money CAN buy you anything' quote. (Now we all know that's a lie because yesterday's post was about how life is much more than that).


Anywho, as I am clearly obsessed about this TV show I've found these bad boys by Nails inc. It was only a matter of time before they realised Gossip Girl is where it's all at (well, they have covered the Royal Wedding & Cadburys). The same way it is wrong NOT to inform you all about my love for M.A.C Cosmetics it would just be so wrong to unveil to you the Nails Inc Gossip Girl collection if you didn't already know!


There are three sets in the collection each influenced by Serena Van Der Woodsen, Lily Bass and Blair Waldorf - Each set comes with a dark polish and a sparkly overglaze. (Sophistication at it's best)


The reason why I like this collection is because each set is not only inspired by Gossip Girls three most influential ladies they come with a colour and a top coat (Overglaze not shimmery sparkles - Overglaze, got it?) to give it that NYC omph...Take a look for yourselves I think the two colours combined for each set are perfect for that christmas sparkle...


Lily's Collection - Looks emerald green with the 'overglaze'
Blair's Collection - Gold with the 'overglaze'
Serena's Collection -Midnight blue with the 'overglaze'


Which collection has put the sparkle back in your life? I can't decide between Blair or Serena (A bit like Nate really!)





Until next time XO XO Simderella .....(no pun intended)
