Rose Gold Michael Kors Watch


Back in April 2013 my Grandma left my mumma some money to get herself something for her birthday and the one expensive item mumma wanted last year was the elusive Michael Kors watch. One weekend mumma and I hopped in the car and took a little trip to paradise also known as Bicester Village. Bicester is the one place that all purses/wallets fear and money goes to die as it is a designer outlet. This means that they legally have to sell all products with at least a 40% discount so you can imagine why everyone visits leaves broke.
Anyway mum purchased this beautiful marble effect metal beige and gold watch and while she was making her mind up, me being me was in a world of my own admiring all things Michael Kors especially the rose gold watches, right then and there I had made my mind up on what I wanted my birthday present to be.


Only a few short months later it was time my 17th birthday, it was the best day ever I had recently got my AS-Level results and passed the majority of my subjects (who cares about physics - not me!), I was legally allowed to begin to learn to drive and I was going out for a lovely meal with my family later in the evening. It is a Pollard family tradition to open all birthday presents in my parents room and what did I receive from mumma and daddio my Rose Gold Michael Kors watch eeeeekkkkkkk!
Right now down to the technical it is a 4 faced 18ct Rose Gold with two bands of swarovksi crystals which personally gives it a very girl touch (who doesn't want a watch with crystals?!). The 4 different faces all tell you different things obviously. The main face obviously tells you the 12 hour time, the smaller face on the right gives you the date, the middle face gives you the 24 hour time and the face on the left tells you the day.
All in all this is one practical watch whilst being very glamours at the same time - it's just a very beautiful and glamorous watch to be honest.

Have you got your eye on a Michael Kors watch?

Lady Gaga's ARTPOP

1. Aura
2. Venus
3. G.U.Y
4. Sexxx Dreams
5. Jewels n Drugs
6. Manicure
7. Do What U Want
8. Artpop
9. Swine
10. Donatella
11. Fashion!
12. Mary Jane Holland
13. Dope
14. Gypsy 
15. Applause 

 Marry The Night had been the last single Lady Gaga released before Applause and that was November 2011 so Gaga had a nice year and a half to work on her newest ARTPOP which is dominating the charts at the moment.

With 3 singles already released from her album the Gaga is going strong and lets be honest we are all excited to see what she does with the Venus and Do What U Want videos, you cannot help but watch even if you aren't a fan, am I right?

Although the majority of her album is a masterpiece there are 2 tracks from the album that don't tickle my fancy those being Aura and Dope they are just not my jam. If you have listened to them then you'll know what I mean. For instance Aura the track starts off with a peculiar intro and you are sat there thinking to yourself ah not to worry this is only the intro BUT you are wrong! It's the whole damn song, you're sat there waiting for the beat to kick in and it never does (sad times). 

Other than that one negative - the album is still truly great! Some of my favourite tracks would be Venus, Donatella, G.U.Y and Gypsy. I highly recommend you get onto iTunes and download yourself a copy while it is still hot.

2 Broke Girls - Season 1

2 Broke Girls was created by Whitney Cummings and Michael Patrick King, the comedy is centred on a pair of financially struggling roommates who live and work in Williamsburg, N.Y.After realising that Caroline has been sleeping on the subway, Max decides to take her in (along with her horse, Chestnut) and teaches her how to live off of nothing. In return, Caroline, who graduated from a well-known business school, sees potential in Max’s cupcakes and insists on helping her start up a cupcake shop. The sharp-tongued Max Black (Kat Dennings) is barely getting by with both a waitressing job and a babysitting job when her boss decides to hire another waitress to help her out instead of giving her the extra hours that she desperately desires. Max is even more irritated to learn that the new hire is Caroline Channing (Beth Behrs), a rich socialite who lost all of her money when her father went to prison for fraud and is now attempting to survive in the real world by herself.
Each week the two tackle another obstacle that comes along with trying to raise money to start the business. Although they usually end up losing money, they manage to keep their spirits up by making fun of customers and laying down a few dozen sexual innuendos per episode. There is a very diverse supporting cast, including the perverted short-order cook Oleg (Jonathan Kite), 75-year-old-cashier Earl (Garrett Morris), and penny-pinching boss Han (Matthew Moy), plus a very kooky Polish business woman Sophie (Jennifer Coolidge) also give the girls plenty of joke material.

Money making/saving schemes, which have so far involved back-alley dentists, drug trials, extreme couponing, helping out hoarders, pop-up sales and kosher cupcakes, keep the show hilarious and the audience wondering what on earth they will come up with next. Still far from their goal of a quarter of a million dollars, there are sure to be many more schemes to come.

While the show has gotten a lot of greif for being crude and relying too much on stereotypes as a source of humor, 2 Broke Girls is still going strong ratings-wise, even winning the People’s Choice Award for Favorite New TV Comedy (so they must be doing something right). Perhaps this is because it offers something that television has been lacking since the good ol' days of Friends. After watching countless shows pin women against each other for dramatic effect, the idea of having two women of different backgrounds work together is so refreshing to see. 
 These two also manage to bring out the best in each other. Max may pride herself on being a tough cookie, but on multiple occasions she puts herself out there to help Caroline. Likewise, Caroline may seem like a typical rich brat, but with Max’s sarcastic encouragement, she actually tries to be a better worker.
2 Broke Girls reminds us that there’s a certain flare to being poor that the rich will never know. It’s that pleasure that comes from paying your taxes on time, saving a a quid on cake mix, scoring something awesome at the Goodwill, or just having poor fun with your best friend.
This show is a must watch I promise you that you will crying from laughing, the writers of the show hit the nail on the head with the jokes and it gets me every-time!

what is your favourite 2 Broke Girls episode?

Tresor Paris SALE!

I am very bad at sale shopping in the stores, but online that is a different story! One afternoon I happened to be doing some online window shopping when I came across the Tresor Paris 80% off sale, so of course I was only that like nobody's business! 
I generally could not believe it, at first I thought I had came across a fake Tresor site but nope it was legit. Realising it was legit, that was it I was going through all the sale items and putting shed loads of jewelry into my basket. As it was 80% off certain lines my shopping brain went on and thought I would be passing up a great opportunity if I did not purchase a new bracelet considering the one I wanted happened to be £49.99 full price and in the sale it was £9.80, bargain or what?! The next thing that happened to find its way into my basket were these beautiful pearl earrings I had been eyeing up for month but couldn't bring myself to buy as they were £24.99 for the smallest size but one sale they were a grand total of £4.20. I did purchase a ring as well but as it didn't have a size option I assumed it was just a one size fits all kind of ring but apparently it wasn't when it came it was a size N but it did fit mum perfectly so I gave it to her, perfect daughter awards goes to me!
The sale is still on guys so get shopping! The items on sale are from the lines that are being discontinued so hurry they're are going fast as they are dirt cheap!


hope you enjoyed reading about the sale
do you love your Tresor Paris too?

My Nail Polish Collection

Something happened 23rd August 2012 not only did I finally turn 16 but my best friend 
brought me two colours from the Rimmel London lasting finish collection pear drop and hot 'n' spicy to this day still two of my favourite colours I own. Since then my nail polish collection has grown - I now own 35 nail polishes all thanks to Paige Wyllie. Well after my
 16th birthday I went shopping with my friends to buy things (shocker!who would have thought you go shopping to buy stuff? not me!) and i saw some nail polishes from this collection I had gotten for my birthday so I picked up a couple as it was 3 for 2 who can't resist an offer? From that point onward I had the need to complete this collection. After i had completed it I was on the hunt for a pastel yellow as I had seen Butter London's Jasper but i refused to pay £13 for a bottle of nail polish! I soon came across the Topshop bees knees but couldn't bring myself to buy it as I felt like I needed a nail polish time out.

 However, compared to all the beauty guru's my collection is minuscule for example SparklyBarbiexo has over 100 bottles of OPI and they aren't cheap either! 
So a year later I turned 17 and yet
 again LittleMissPaige28 got me more nail polish but to my surprise it included a pastel yellow yay *fist pump* 
but Rach has also got me a pastel yellow can you take any guesses to which one, yup the Topshop one I had wanted for months! It's safe to say I have amazing friends! Not to long ago Rimmel had brought out a new line to their lasting finish collection so obviously I had to purchase the ones i wanted - can you expect anything different from a nail polish addict? I certainly wouldn't. So are you wondering where my Essie came into this? Well
Paige (LittleMissPaige28) had purchased Where's My Chauffeur after Christmas and in the Summer months she had added Fiji to her collection. So when I was doing a bit of on the line shopping on Superdrug i had a quick look at what they had in their Essie
 range; I was amazed by these metal effects and I'm really into my blues recently so
 I purchased Blue Rhapsody. Quite recently Rach and I took a trip to Liverpool to check out the University and when looking at Unis you HAVE to check out the shopping center so that is exactly what we did. I found four Superdrug's and had to pop in to had a browse and pick up a couple of Christmas presents I w
as doing great until i came across the Essie stand and had seen the nail polish from the Autumn collection I've wanted since it was released and right next to it was the Luxeeffects topcoats. What can I say I'm an impulsive shopper so i purchased After School Boy Blazer and Stroke of Brilliance, woops.

Hope you enjoyed reading something new
have a relaxing evening guys

My View on Kindles

For my 16th birthday mum and had and given me my little baby and I can say that I would not know what to do without it nowadays.
At first Kindles did not have me on their side and I thought they were slowing killing off book shops, but then papa got one for Christmas and tried to get me on the Kindle band wagon and I was having none of. That was until father made me read Catching Fire on the Kindle and from that point on I was on the Kindle team, every chance I could get I stole dads Kindle to read a book. Then the Kindle Touch and that was all I would talk about for months hoping that it would be made clear to the parents that I wanted a Kindle for my birthday. 

I cant see both sides of the Kindle, personally I think they make reading ten times easier as it is literally a book shelf on a device. I think you can hold up to 10,000 books on any Kindle (it's that just brilliant?!). Although on the other hand you don't have to charge a book plus if you drop a book it won't break into a million pieces, you can get a book wet and it'll dry and you have the pleasure on turning a page and upon finishing a book you get to close the book. But I'm sorry to all anti-Kindle people but I am very pro Kindle and will be for a long time to come, they have revolutionised the reading industry and younger generation will be more inclined to reading on a Kindle as it is a electronic device and makes them feel old


Besides I have read at least 70 books since having my Kindle and with the Amazon store you can download loads of free samples of books and even short stories to get you hooked and buy the full book or it can save you money you may buy a full book and find it really boring then you just wasted £4.99 when you can purchase the free sample to try it out. 

This year I am doing the 50 book challenge with my daddio and I wouldn't be able to do it without my little baby and at the moment I'm up 3 currently reading I heart Paris by Lindsey Kelk it's a great read check it out


what's your views on the Kindle?
