Nick Verreos on "The Soup" AGAIN!!!!

Get A Soup Spoon...

Yes kids, I made "The Soup" this week! I was in San Antonio Texas this last Friday night--showing our NIKOLAKI gowns at a fabulous Alteza Penthouse Fashion Party Presentation, when I began receiving all the texts--and getting messages and emails--telling me that I was on E! Entertainment's "The Soup" weekly TV Show. "Oh Lordy" was my first response...

Upon returning back from Texas, I finally got to see what all the "buzz" was about. And yes, I made "The Soup"!!! Thanks Joel McHale--Love ya! Even if you're making fun of my "inappropriate" Manscaping comment :) I am told it's a Badge of Honor to make "The Soup"! Now, this is my SECOND TIME--fortunately or unfortunately. Happy to be part of the "Soup Family"!!

My Girl Heidi Klum and her "Seriously Funny Kids" Lifetime Network TV Show!

Heidi and The Funny Kids!

Heidi Klum and Nick Verreos

As you may know: I LOVE me some Heidi Klum--Not only is she DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS and like I've always said looks like a German Barbie Doll come to life. But she's also hysterically funny and is an AMAZING Mommy! Oh, and did I mention she's worn some of my NIKOLAKI dresses!!?? Hello: LOVE! Well, she also now has this GREAT new show called "Seriously Funny Kids" which I LOVE!!! Seriously!

Heidi Klum, on the set of her hit show "Seriously Funny Kids"

In the next episode of her new hit series Seriously Funny Kids, Heidi talks to a seriously funny six-year-old Lakers fan about his favorite player Pau Gasol. When she teases Gasol’s appearance at the snap of her fingers, the kid thinks she’s pulling his leg. He's astonished at Heidi’s super powers when Gasol makes a very special appearance. Heidi said "We had a huge Laker fan, this six-year-old little boy and we had him meet his ultimate Laker player, so we kind of like fulfilled some dreams to these children, too."

Make sure to catch her Supermodel Lakers Ensemble: Lakers muscle Tee, cropped skinny jeans and 5 inch heels--oh and a Lakers cap of course. Only Heidi Klum can make a "Lakers Uniform Outfit" look Runway/Red Carpet Ready!

Catch the next episode of Seriously Funny Kids this Tuesday--TONIGHT!!!--at 9 pm on Lifetime.

Apartment Stuff ....A Nice Lamp Shade

Love this lamp shade. It's modern  and warm. Not cold like a lot of modern furniture and decor tends to be.

For me, Lighting can either make or break any room in your home. With the right lighting even the tiniest room can look amazing!

The Weekend & Accessorize Makeup

So I mentioned in a previous post that I had a girl's night last Friday and I totally forgot that I had taken pics to show you what I wore, my hair and makeup etc.  It will also give you an idea of how my weightloss is coming along.  I weigh myself every Wednesday morning so I'm excited to see what I have lost.  I can feel that I have lost some more weight so whether it's 1lb or 2lbs, I will be happy with that because I am feeling super fit now and that's what really matters.  For the first time in years, I don't have to hold my stomach in constantly!ha ha.

I decided to wear one of the dresses that I got from Maddie (my mother-in-law) when I was back in Ireland.  I love how flattering this dress is on my figure because it clings to all the right places.  Sorry about the bad quality of the pic above, I didn't have time to faff around with the timer and I'm hoping to get an SLR in the future!  But I think you can still get an idea of what the outfit looked like.  I decided to team the dress with a cute little bow belt just to accentuate my waist a bit more.

I initially styled my hair with large barrel tongs and gave it loads of volume with some back-combing.  BUT then, on a whim, I decided to do something a bit different.  I hardly ever wear my hair in a ponytail, well, except when I scrape it back in the gym but that doesn't count!  Sometimes I am too much of a perfectionist so I wanted to wear a slightly more messy, low ponytail with some volume at the crown.  I back-combed my longer layers at the front to create a messy side fringe.  I just kept the makeup fresh and simple with pale pink eyeshadow (from the New CID Cosmetics eyeshadow quad in Laguna) and contoured the eye with a bit of Mac Satin Taupe.  I had forgotten how much I love to wear a full top lashline of black eyeliner.  It makes my eyes look so much bigger!  For the lips I just wore Mac High Tea and RMK lipgloss in Gold. 

I always ummm and errr about doing an OOTD because I don't consider my 'style' to be cutting edge or particularly dynamic.  However, I have had a few emails recently asking me to do then so of course I will oblige if that's what some of you want.  This outfit was just really casual because I was feeling slightly hungover and was just going for lunch with my mum, then home for the weekend.

I was wearing jeggings from New Look, Studded Vest Top By Reiss, Longline white shirt by H&M, Skinny Tan Belt by Next, Black Studded Peep-Toe Shoe Boots by Next, Tan Leather Biker Jacket by La Redoute and Black Basket Weave Bag by Warehouse.

I was sent some of the new Accessorize makeup items to try out recently and I have to say that I am really impressed by how they look/swatch.  Makeup collections brought out by high street clothes stores can be hit or miss (normally miss) so it was great to see the variety of colours and pretty packaging.  This post will just be a very brief overview of what I was sent but I will follow up with some review posts in the next few days.  I will try and do a FOTD using the products to give you a better idea of how they look once applied.

There are 5 collections in total (Exotic Brights, Illusion, Je t'aime, With Love and Rock Chic) and prices start at only £3! I think that is brilliant value for money given what I've seen of the products so far.  I have included the prices for each item below.  The range is available to buy at Accessorize and selected Superdrug stores.

Merged Baked Blusher in Starlet (£5)

Single Eyeshadow in Soft Pink & Mermaid (£4 each)

Rock Star Baked Duo Eyeshadows in Break Up (Ivory and Silver) 

& Rock Out (Rose Gold and Brown)

£4 each.

Lipstick in Vintage Rose (£5)

Illusion Diamond Lip Gloss in Crush (Coral) & Diva (Fuschia)

£4

Exotic Brights Neon Eye Dust in Gold Leaf

£3

Have you tried the Accessorize Makeup yet? What were your thoughts?

I had forgotten how much I liked this song until I randomly heard it on the radio this morning.  I always find myself singing along!   I can never believe that voice comes from Plan B - he looks like such a tough guy, then he comes out with this sweet singing voice!ha ha.
