this is how i relax.

but before relaxing .. this is how I roll before every nightshift. making plans for the floor

Nightshift's finally over and I've had a good 8hrs of sleep. Woke up this afternoon and felt a slightly blocked nose and a drowsy feeling that I am probably coming down with something. Great! Well not to worry because I have stacked up with soup (really yummy ones aswell).

So when the clock hits 6-7am and you can see how the shop floor is shaping up and you realise that you are finished with the floor ... that's when you appreciate these nightshifts. When I am on my home to go to bed, and everybody else are moving themselves into central London to work, then it feels like it has all been worth it. But the shifts I do are hard and it takes a lot of time, organisation and patience to complete a successful floor layout. I therefore often find myself being very tense and tired. And the chilly winter we have entered is not exactly working to my benefit either. Luckily, thanks to someone special, I have now found a way to get fully rested and refreshed once a week. My secret is acupuncture.

Acupuncture is used to treat a broad range of conditions and is a treatment which encourages the patient's body to cure itself. It is one of the oldest medical procedures in the world and dates back (according to some) to 4000 years ago! Now a method developed over so many years can definitly not be something bad .. right? And it's not. I have spoken to several people, including my dad (who btw is a licensed psycholigist & hypnotherapist), and everybody believe that it's very good for you. Since it helps the blood circulation in your body and helps restoring the imbalance of the energy in your body, it will in the long run, not only be good for your physical health but will also help you stay young and beautiful. So for the next couple of weeks the chinese medicine clinic is where you will see me once a week. Today my doctor even made a special treatment for me to help prevent me from catching a cold. Now isn't that sweet? Hope it works!

my bed today - sorry for the poor quality

damn .. this girl is on fire!



Rihanna, you've just rocked my day!

just the two of us ♥


Taking the time to dedicate this post to my beautiful sister. She has been there for me throughout my whole life and I know that I would be lost without here. Sometimes you pass eachother day by day, without showing a single sign of affection .. because you treat all days like any other day. You are one of the strongest members of our family and I want you to know that. You have accomplished everything on your own, without the help of anybody and even though we might be harsh on you from time to time you should know that it is not because we don't believe in you but for the exact opposite .. because we know you are capable of being the best.

♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥

It's your birthday today .. It's time for you to shine and leave the whole world behind. I wish (and promise) you all the joy and happiness in the world. Together we will conquer them all azizam. We don't need anybody but ourselves and we have proven that many times before. You mean the world to us, but mostly to me ..



Happy Birthday Sogii .. I love you ♥♥

boohoo = buuhuu!

So I was browsing the internet for some items to buy and I came across this website (which a lot of you probably already are familiar with). It's kind of like asos.com but with cheaper prices, which means that the majority of the items aren't very nice whereas ASOS have pretty smoking hot things. Anyways back to the point .. I was browsing around and came across two pairs of shoes that shocked me. I'll let the images below speak for themselves:


One word only: WOW! These are two of my absolute favourite shoes. I live, eat and sleep in my Military Boots and I'm still dreaming of the day I get my hands on the McQueen ones. So seeing something like this is just crazy. Hmm .. What to do? What to do? One fake one real? Naah .. NEVER! It's weird how some brands imitate eachother though, isn't it? And then they have the nerve to call it "inspiration". Well I bloody call it a rip off! Lol. But jokes aside, I'm not hating on this because they are popular shoes and will sell, copy or not. So for all of you that don't mind them .. happy shopping! :))

.. and gotta love the celebs for rocking it too

And over to a bigger shoe and real talk; we are kicking off with a new floor layout on Wednesday. With only 19 days left to Christmas we are refreshing the floor for all you lovely customers out there. So this means nightshift tomorrow again. But no worries because this is how fun we normally have on them:

happy birthday baby! ♥


Wicked night last night for my sisters 31st! Had a relaxing day of doing absolutely nothing .. then hit the mayhem @ Movida night club in central London. Music was awesome and everybody was in a good mood! We danced, danced, danced the night away and got to suffer for it this morning as it felt like I had been doing 10hr sessions at the gym. Haha .. It's all good though. After some nice chinese take away and some proper sleep I am as good as new. Almost .. :)

Some pics from last night:




And like promised I blung up (you probably can't say that) my nails with my new fav Barry M. :))



What do you guys think?

Anyways a big happy birthday in advance to my big sis .. On Tuesday we'll celebrate again! Yahoo!

Peace out / P. x

barry m is crackalackin.

A year and a half ago I was introduced to Minx, the nail foils that all the celebrities use (Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Nicki Minaj etc.). Back then nowhere had them, so I had to buy them off eBay. Luckily for some, unlucky for me (since it is so common and boring now) you can get them everywhere on the high-street now, from Nail Rock and Cobella Salon in Selfridges to DIY ones in TopShop. Nail foils are great and add effects to your nails that normal nail polish can't do, but since you splash a good £35 to get a full set done, you intend to keep them on for at least 2 weeks.


Barry M has now come up with something maybe not just as cool, but still very fun. Saw the ad a couple of weeks ago and thought I'd try it.

After applying any colour of your choice you then apply one coat of Barry M Instant Effects nail paint. After a couple of second the coat starts cracking and, with the bottom colour appearing from in between the cracks, creates random patterns on your nails. I briefly tried it yesterday .. really frikkin cool!


Going out for my sisters birthday tonight and guess what I will be having on my nails? Damn right!

Pics will follow! / P. x

the ovid shoe.


Came across these a couple of weeks ago and didn't quite appreciate them until I tried them on today. The heel is out of transparent perspex giving the impression that you almost are tip-toeing. Pretty cool design I have to say.

Price tag: £175. Location: All Saints.


Do you like? Me like.
