Aww I look pweedy!!

You wouldn't believe that I was so tired when this was taken (which was about 4 hours ago). Now today was one of my favourite times of the month(s) Benefit day!! Yes today I had one of my usual appointments at Benefit in House of Fraser. I'm not going to go in to much detail as I have a post about my make up coming soon so all I will say is, I do look pweedy. I also ran a few errands today. Number one on my list was a natural slip so I headed to Primark as I know they do some in there, I found the perfect one for only £6 but they didn't have my size literally always the way. I also wanted to pick up a book on photography kind of a how to so I popped in to Waterstones to try and find the one I wanted; unfortunately I couldn't remember what the book was called so I had to abandon mission. When I was in Cheltenham last week I didn't fancy carrying a bag around with me (I never do when I'm there); all I used was a Cath Kidston tote bag that I usually keep in my handbag. I turned round to my mum today and mentioned that I wouldn't mind a straw bag, so we trawled a few shops until I mentioned that there was one in Next that I liked. Thankfully they had quite a few and for £22 I didn't think that was too bad so I ended up getting this one; I like that it has red and black stripes on it for that unusual feel and also its spacious enough to hold all my rubbish. I did pick up a cuff for your ear with 2 crosses dangling down from Miss Selfridge in Debenhams, as you know I love crosses and I do love cuffs I think they're something different and although with my hair you can't see them; I still like wearing them. And finally I picked up a Balenciaga style bag from a little shop in town for £10!! As much as I wish I could afford the real deal I think getting similar style ones for a snippet of the price is just as good.

To the outfit...

I'm wearing 3 items that are quite old in this photo. The first item is the bag I remember I got it ages ago when I was obsessed with having chains on everything, I did use it a lot when I first purchased it but I soon got bored of it (we all do this) and I eventually gave it to my mum and forgot about it. It wasn't till about a month ago I was sitting in my parents room when I noticed it sitting there so I immediately snatched it back. The metallic is chipping away on the handles but as this bag has no fastening I prefer to use the chain handle and have it flopping over, it's a nice alternative to my usual black bags. The second item is my blazer now I got this a few years ago I think when Henry Holland first did his range for Debenhams, they were having a big sale and everything was so cheap. I ended up trying on a few things but I eventually bought a motif t-shirt, body -con skirt and this blazer. I do wear this quite a bit usually either with white or pink I think the colours work well with the blue/grey colour of the blazer, it does get creased really easily but I'm one of those weird people who doesn't mind going out in creased clothes. The third item is my top I got this a year or two ago and it's my go to summer top. It's from Primark and I purchased it when the whole 'short at the front long at the back' trend first came on the scene, it's baggy which I like so it's perfect for those warm days and its a different material at the back. I don't usually go for pink (as you know) but this top to me is the exception, it's the perfect combination of style, fit and colour.

I am now going to try and stay awake to do some tidying. I either do chores either too early in the morning or late at night, I worry about my sanity.

You'd think I'd be used to it by now or am I...

Wow I look girly today!

I was in a 'I want to wear a dress mood' seen as since the nice weather has appeared I've been in trousers (crazy I know); so I thought it was about time I showed the old legs off. I actually feel a bit odd in this dress as it does pull a bit in the chest area and to me it's quite short, I don't mind getting my legs out but I always worry about it before I do as I’m the colour of a vampire. I will add that I’m wearing make up but seen as I've been up since 6:30am I was squinting a lot. Today I went on a mini job hunt as I'm in dyer need of some pennies and also something to keep me occupied, I'm hopefully volunteering at my old school library a few days a week and we'll have to wait and see about the others. I also popped in to see my Nan J today for a quick chat. It was boiling today especially in the afternoon I was melting in this outfit but I'm not complaining.

To the outfit...

This dress was an absolute bargain (well in my eyes). A month or two again I spotted this dress in Primark and was immediately drawn to it, I've always wanted a denim dress. I like that its light denim which makes it very summery but could also be teamed up with a jumper in the winter. I was half expecting it to be about £15 or more but it was only a tenner!! I couldn't believe it and it came with the belt which is even more of a deal. It's the perfect summer dress. I wanted to accessorize with soft and neutral jewellery so I put on my New Look ladybird ring which I've had for a while now and it's so sparkly with enamel flowers, simple pearl studs, my new cream skull bracelet from Topshop which I absolutely adore and a symbol beaded bracelet from Miss Selfridge.

I secretly hope the heat cools down as I can't keep melting.

Or maybe I won't...

I'm so glad to be home!!

As much as I do love escaping from home for a few days I do miss my normal routine (I'm weird like that).

I went to Cheltenham for a few days not only to see my sister Charlie but to go to The Annual Digital Film Production Awards Ceremony. Now just in case you didn't know as I don't think I've mentioned it really, for the past 4 years Charlie has been at the University of Gloucestershire originally studying History but changed to Digital Film Production. This is Charlie's last year and I presume they do this every year (well it does say annual) to show of the DFP's talents and hard work. Charlie was nominated for best Screen Writer for her film ‘What Would You Say?’ Also while I was there I had another singing lesson and I've forgotten how much I love singing! I'm like anyone else I sing along to the radio, sing in the shower, in front of the mirror, in the car etc but to actually use my voice the way I should and sing The Sound of Music at the top of my lungs felt pretty good. I used to have singing lessons back in Secondary school and I think it's time to go back. I didn't do much shopping while I was there (which makes a change) but I did pick up a top from Topshop (the one I'm wearing in Saturday's outfit); and a skull bracelet (this one but in neutral) that I have been after for ages!! I popped in to CeX and picked up Shakespeare in Love (love that film!) and Confessions of a Shopaholic for when I'm in a girly mood. Overall it was a nice little trip the only downside was my journey home which took in total 5 hours!! There was so much traffic outside London it was all because of the rugby match at Twickenham, which now I know that it was the Harlequins who were playing and I love Chris Robshaw I don't mind so much. It's just nice to be home and relaxing on the sofa.

To the outfits...

Now usually in this bit I talk about my outfit in detail but instead I'm just going to pick one item from each outfit to highlight. It has been so hot lately that I feel as if I have no summer clothes (when really I have plenty); so deciding what to take away with me was horrendous and stressful (yes I stress out over clothes). In the end I just chucked a couple things in my holdall and was done with it. Thursday's outfit was purely put together for comfort and to keep cool so I decided to wear this maxi dress. I had bought it about a year ago in New Look when we had a warm April and needed a girly maxi dress, it was a bit pricey at £29.99 but as it was part of the brands range I didn't mind paying that little bit extra. It's nice and long on me which I find is very rare with dresses or trousers so as soon as I tried it on I knew I had to have it. Friday's outfit was again purely put together to keep cool in the blistering heat and to be comfortable. Now these trousers I've had for a few years now and I love them! They're from River Island and I got them in the sale on their website I've worn them so many times I actually can't keep track; the only downside is that I can't wear them in winter otherwise my leggies would be too cold. Saturday's outfit again was for keeping cool on the journey home and comfortable so I decided to wear my new top from Topshop. I went in to Topshop purely to look for jewellery as I have been itching to update my accessories collection but I was distracted by the mini sale section in the corner. I originally picked up a black waistcoat for £15 which I thought was a good price and then I saw this top and I was in love; it was my size, it had skulls on it and it was £7!! It was a no brainer I needed this in my life. It's a really good fit and I can see myself wearing this a lot in the future.

It’s now a new week and we'll see what it has in store.

Let's hope no more 5 hour journeys...

Internet oh I have missed thee!!

My internet decided to give up on Wednesday and seen as I have been away for the past 2 days I haven't been on.

This photo was taken on Wednesday when I went to see my Nan J. I was actually late to see her as unashamedly I was putting on my new lipstick Collection 2000 Mango Tango, (it smells so good!!). I took my Nan to the hairdressers where we had a little chat and found out my Nan used to go to dances where Engelbert Humperdinck would perform; but of course back then he was called Gerry Dorsey. As you also know it has been absolutely boiling for the past few days!! I'm slowly melting every time I leave the house. I actually have had a few 'I don't know what to wear' moments lately, the weather is so unpredictable it's hard to figure out what to put on. I'm constantly in a fashion crisis.

To the outfit...

My denim jacket has made a comeback!! I can always tell it's summer when my denim jacket gets dragged out. This dress I've had for over a year and it's one I contemplated about as the colours aren't something I usually go for; but I think for a summer dress you need to think outside the box. I think the last time I wore this dress was on my last driving lesson so it brings back memories. These are my new sandals from New Look. They're leather and are actually quite comfy they rubbed my little toe a bit but apart from that they're actually really nice and for £17.99 they're definitely worth it. I am going to briefly mention my bag only because some people might look at it and say that's Fendi. If you're like me and unable to afford designer prices you still want to have that look. I got this bag for my birthday one year (I can't remember where from); it looks exactly like the Spy bag and it has the 'F' logo on it and says Fendi in all the right places. I don't use it a lot but it's nice to feel expensive. The headband is something new I'm trying out as I said in my post on Tuesday; I got this headband on Monday and decided to try it out on Wednesday and I got some good comments because of it. I think it's definitely worth taking a fashion risk I think I'm going to take more of them.

I am currently watching Eurovision and in heaven (I am obsessed with Eurovision have been for years!!!); I am now going to get lost in Euro pop!

Love a bit of cheese...

This was me yesterday!!

I wasn't feeling too good when I got home yesterday so I decided to wait to do the post today.

Now yesterday I popped in to town with my mum to run some errands. Number 1 on my list was lipsticks; I seem to have an obsession with them at the moment my collection seems to get bigger and bigger. I managed to pick up 3 lipsticks one is a corally pink colour, one is a middle pink (if that makes sense) and the third is a deep purple which is something I wouldn't usually go for; but it's too good to resist. My mum and I also popped in to River Island where I picked up these beauties; they are just amazing I felt very 60's in them and for a tenner!! You can't complain. I also managed to pick up (after what feels like years) a 3 way headpiece (I'm not quite sure how to explain it); it looks similar to this one except mine is a chain with a crystal evil eye that sits on the forehead. (I apologise for my bad description). I've wanted one since I saw one on the Miss Selfridge website a few months ago and ever since I've been trawling the websites to find one. It was by chance I was looking at the hair accessories in River Island when I saw it and freaked out, after much insistence (as you do) it's now a part of my hair accessories collection and I'm so pleased.

Now to the outfit...

Can I just say my hair looks amazing!! I decided to do something different with it so when I washed it on Sunday I plaited and twisted my hair in to many little buns. When I took it out that night my hair looked very 1920's but very poofy so I decided to sleep on it and when I woke up it was the perfect amount of poofiness and perfection. I'm wearing a lot of colour in this photo and I must admit I did feel a bit self-conscious going out yesterday, I think when you get used to a certain style it's hard to be more daring. I love this dress!! It's from Joy which is one of my favourite shops I already have the perfect summer dress from them. Now this was on the offer of 'spend over £75 and you get this dress free' if that isn't good offer I don't know what is. It's a lovely little dress with an elasticised waist and it comes to just above the knee and is a nice loose material, with a stitching detail along the neckline. So when I got this dress these tights immediately popped in to my mind and I knew I had to go get them. I will admit because of my giant legs I couldn't get the hearts in a straight line but I tried the best I could. I actually added two really old items to this outfit the first is these shoes, I can't even remember when I first got these shoes it was so long ago but they are the only pair of heels I can walk in. They have a tiny heel and are now really big on my as I've stretched them over the years but they're still lovely. The next item is this bag which is a few years old from Primark and now has so many marks on it but I still love it, it has such a vintage quality to it so that’s why I put my vintage scarf on it to give it that little something extra. I'm also wearing a new bracelet and ring from Miss Sefridge (and yes my ring is the cream version of my topshop black skull ring).

I love looking at the sun shine out the window!!

Let's hope it stays this way...

I think I obsess too much over the little things.

I should explain, this afternoon I got my eyebrows waxed and it wasn't until a few hours later did I have a good look at them and thought they looked odd. The problem is my right eyebrow is darker then my left (weird I know); so after all that obsessing I realised that my eyebrows are always different and always will be. In another 3 months I'll be obsessing again.

Anyway so I've briefly mentioned today I had my eyebrows waxed and other beauty treatments done, now I'm bright red and sore. No pain no gain! Who said it was easy being a girl? I also popped in to my local leisure centre with my mum to find out prices for the gym. I've wanted to go to the gym for a while now but due to lack of energy I've never made the effort, so I said to my mum I wanted to pop in and find out. I had no idea there was some really good activities going on I'm definitely going to make an effort now.

How awesome is my t-shirt!! This beauty was my 18th birthday present to myself. It was Charlie and I's first time visiting Bristol and as soon as I saw Urban Outfitters my face lit up. I immediately wanted this t-shirt when I saw it 'Alcohol Caffeine Nicotine' I just thought it was such a statement. Of course at the time I only did 2 out of 3 but even with a price tag of £28 I still wanted it. 2 years down the road (practically) I still wear it as often as I can; even if now I don't do any of them but it still is such a statement. Today I was wearing all my regular items; it's like wearing an old friend (that sounds weird).

I have a nice relaxing weekend ahead of me for a change.

Won't last for long...

Just a quick post today!!

Today I popped to Tesco’s with my parents to pick up something to eat and doughnuts!! Yay!! Nothing too exciting but I haven't been at all well this week so I've been confined to the sofa.

To the outfit…

This top I've had for a few years now and I saw it in New Look here at home but decided not to get it as it was £15.99!! So when I went to Cheltenham about a week or 2 later (plus it had some money off); I decided to treat myself and I've only worn it once before about 2 years ago!! Roughly about 5 mins before I had to leave I saw this top just sitting on top of my pile and I decided to chuck it on. I'm wearing my navy Forever 21 beanie which I love!! I think it's a great alternative to just plain black.

Like I said just a quick post today feeling tired and not too well, (even though I'm smiling in the photo).

Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow!!

Living Life Like I'm In A Dream...

I feel a little bad that I haven't updated my blog since Saturday. The odd thing is I didn't quite know what to write about seen as I haven't exactly bought anything worth showing off, nor have I gone out as lack of money has kicked in. So I've decided to do something a little different today and talk about my favourite shops.

Now as you know shopping is one of my favourite past times and I do enjoy it very much, so today I'm going to talk about my favourite shops/sites.

Urban Outfitters
I have to admit I rarely get to go to Urban Outfitters but when I do I'm in heaven. I think if you want a really good investment piece then this is the place to go. Whether it's the renewal range or brands like Cheap Monday, Truly Madly Deeply and Minkpink; there's always something to find. I know Urban Outfitters is my go to place for a really cool and unique graphic t-shirt and funky jewellery. My favourite place to go for a good sale.

Topshop
By now you should know that I'm slightly obsessed with my Topshop black skull ring which I pretty much wear everyday; (I'm even surprised that I don't wear it at home) and in general I love Topshop jewellery it's always my go to place for a good piece. I also love the clothes in Topshop to me they're untouchable. I don't make a habit of buying clothes from Topshop all the time (I wish my funds would let me) but when I do I get a fuzzy feeling inside, it's like Christmas when you've saved up your pennies or decided to treat yourself to something you've been wanting for a long time. My favourite place to go for jewellery.
New Look
I love New Look! I know no matter what I want whether it's a pair of shoes, a plain t-shirt or a pair of jeans I'm going to find it in New Look. What I like most about New Look is the affordability of the items they sell, they cater for all budgets and with the Tall, Inspire and Generation 915 ranges, there's something for every shape, size and age. I used to always buy my jeans from New Look but now I've discovered they're basics. I bought my new favourite grey tank top a while ago in Cheltenham and now I'm craving it in every colour. I mainly go to New Look for shoes as I have my big size 9 feet! And I know if I want a good ballet pump at an affordable price I'm going to find it in New Look; (for instance my studded ballet pumps that I always wear). My favourite place to go for shoes.

H&M
When I was working I think alone I was keeping H&M going. Every weekend after work and during the week (basically every day); I would go in to H&M and spend all my pennies. My favourite pieces I have bought from H&M are my pink and grey jumpers I got back in September; they're so comfortable and go with everything they've done the job all through winter and even still now. Quality pieces like that are why I love the Divided range for those affordable staples. I can guarantee I'll find something I love from the Divided range and I know immediately I will wear it constantly and that I can afford it. My favourite place to go for basics and accessories.

These are only a handful of my favourite places others include Miss Selfridge, Primark, Joy, Next, Forever 21, Accessorize and House of Fraser to name but a few (there's too many to write down).

I think to sum it all up, I know whatever shop I go in to I always know what I'm going in for but I do love finding surprises!

Doesn't everyone?

So that's what the colour is!

Again allow me to explain, ever since I bought these trousers about month or 2 ago I've always thought the basis colour was black; but now looking at this photo they're actually predominantly navy. I need to start paying more attention. I apologise for starting quite a few of my posts with quizzical statements.

Anyway today I popped in to town with my mum to run some errands. Now I'm sure I'm not the only one who lies there in the middle of the night thinking about all the things you need to get; so considering this was me last night I decided to pop out and run the errands. I managed to pick up a pair of tights (2 packs you can never be too sure) I've been after for a while from Primark they're white with black hearts, not something I'd usually go for but I have two great dresses that they will look amazing with. I also picked up an MUA lipstick, eyebrow pencil sharpener, Company Magazine and some unmentionables. I do enjoy running errands even when there are too many people and all I want to do is scream. I forgot why I prefer not to shop on weekends.

To the outfit...

Now as I said at the beginning I got these trousers about a month or 2 ago and they've been hanging up in my room waiting to be worn. I was immediately drawn to them in Primark but as soon as I got them home I was contemplating if I had made the right decision or not. I decided to pair it with plain black as I think the pattern on the trousers are loud enough (so to speak); they are actually high waisted but I wore them with the waistband turned over (they look like they're falling down in the photo). I think my faithful Forever 21 multi sequinned beanie is the perfect partner for these trousers; I like the idea of adding sequins to a patterned outfit. I am still wearing my signature black but it's nice to wear something I wouldn't usually wear, I'm sure I'll be back to my usual palette soon enough.

I look forward to another day at home which I think that's what Sundays were made for.

Let's hope the sun is still shining in the morning...

Ooooo I'm good!!

Allow me to explain, I actually took this photo using my tripod for the first time!! I'm really pleased with how the pictures turned out considering I'm not exactly a wiz when it comes to technology. This explains why my photo is landscape instead of portrait but from now on I will have my mum rehired.

Anyway I took this picture yesterday when I popped to the doctors (just a check up). Now if any of you have seen my twitter you might know that I have been without internet for 2 and a half days! The longest 2 and a half days of my life (sad I know); but thanks to the lovely Virgin man my internet has now been restored.

Now my day yesterday wasn't exactly glamorous as my appointment was at 8:40am and due to lack of sleep (again); I decided to stay on the sofa for as long as I could. So in a sheer panic (with 10 minutes to go) I ran upstairs and actually left 5 minutes later then planned and still managed to be on time. I think I'm getting good with my timing even if I do leave later then I should, I always seem to be on time.

To the outfit...

Now I was a little devil yesterday and wore something new. The first time I mentioned this St Lenny t-shirt was here when I went to London Fashion Weekend (can't believe it was 3 months ago!!). I'm ashamed to admit that in the space of 3 months I haven't worn it but with the weather being unpredictable at the moment, I wanted to chuck on my Warehouse cardigan to keep me warm and for a while now I've been looking at this t-shirt and thinking 'it could go...maybe...yes?' So I decided to go ahead and put the two together. I find that sometimes the best outfits are when you put two or three items together that you normally wouldn't. I kept my accessories and jewellery to a minimum; with only my faithful Forever 21 multi coloured beanie and heart studs from River Island (which unfortunately you can't see but I always wear).

I'm hoping the internet will not desert me again. 

Fingers crossed...

Ta Dah!!

Here is a close up look of my mini makeover on Friday at the Benefit counter at House of Fraser.

Now as you already know I am a huge fan of the brand and already own 99.9% of their products but every time I go I always try something new.

So this time I tried two new products the first was Magic Ink - Jet Black Liquid Eye Liner, now if you've been reading this for a while you know eye liner and I are not a match made in heaven. So when I said to Annabel (someone I met at the Benefit audition who luckily enough got the job); that I had never tried Magic Ink before she became intent on experimenting on me. Now as I have said previously I trust a stranger to do my eye liner then myself (that's how bad I am); now as you can see my eyes have never looked better! I think there's something feminine about having a black line across your eye lid very 60's.

The second product was High Brow. Unfortunately you can't really see it on me due to the fact I have a lot of hair (I'm growing it for a change); but I think it's definitely a product I would recommend it instantly lifts your eyes and gives you a wide awake look (without looking scary). You can also get a High Brow Glow which I cannot wait to try.

I feel every time I go to Benefit I always feel at home with the products and that I know exactly what the ingredients are and how to use the products. I'm just continually showing my love for Benefit (the only make up I'm good at using).

Don't I look pweedy!! If only I could wake up looking like that...

Wow I am knackered!!

(I can't remember the last time I started a post without the word tired or knackered.)

Any who’s I have had quite a busy day (makes a change). My mum and I were good girls and we arrived in town for 9am! Managed to pick up my New Look goodies so now I have my sandals for the summer and a new black skirt; (they're the hardest item to find) but I am very happy that I now have both. My mum had a personal shopper appointment today for a wedding my parents are attending next month, then of course Charlie's graduation in November (where has the 4 years gone?). After trying on many dresses very reminiscent of Grace Kelly my mum decided on a shift dress and blazer (think Christina Hendricks in Mad Men); it's navy with a pleated detail on the neckline and back of the blazer and my mum looks fabulous in it. Just in case you haven't noticed I have some make up one my face and thankfully for once I didn't have to do it (yay!!). I stopped off at Benefit and had my make up done and it's so nice to be wearing liquid eye liner for a change, you know me and eye liner so of course I trust a complete stranger then myself. I also went to see American Reunion today. I was surprised that I would enjoy it as I’m not a huge fan of the movies but this one was funny and it kept me laughing.

To the outfit...

Aye aye captain!!

I am channelling my inner sailor today. I do love stripes; I actually bought this top a few years ago when I would wear nothing but stripes for a year (as I said yesterday). So when I saw this one among my pile of perfectly folded clothes (aka floordrobe); I thought it would be perfect to chuck on with a chunky cardigan to keep me warm in the cold spring morning. Blue, white and cream are my favourite combination of colours for a colourful look (my kind of colourful); plus I love dressing up as a sailor. Now I thought the logical accessory would be to wear my new navy beanie from yesterday; but I decided to be odd and wear my multi sequinned beanie instead. I think you always need a pop of colour when wearing neutral colours. I couldn't decide between silver or gold jewellery but seen as my anchor studs are gold, I thought gold would be a more appropriate combination for blue (I like gold).

I shall now leave you as I have to close my eyes and sleep.

Here's hoping next time I won't quote myself again. Doubt it...

I've gone fuzzy again.

I swear my camera is rubbish or maybe its the light or the photographer; (nope not going to blame my mum).

Anyway hello!!

I am so tired today and I have no idea why it's one of those enigmas. Today I went to see my friend Jaime as 1. I haven't seen her in ages and 2. Outfit planning, you see tomorrow is our date night (corny I know) so today was meant to be planning outfits and deciding what we're going to do. Now as of yet we have not decided what we are doing and don't even get me started on the outfit!

We girls can never decide what to wear you either have too many clothes or no clothes; sometimes I swear I'm both.

Can I also mention how unpredictable the weather is!! One minute its dry then it's raining I wish Mother Nature would make up her mind and sorts it out. I'm craving the day I can leave the house in a summery dress and sandals without putting on a million layers. As I have said in the past I'm not a fan of the weather.

To the outfit...

Looky Looky at my new hat and necklace!! These 2 items are my latest additions in fact they were ordered on Monday and came on Wednesday (yesterday); thank you Forever 21. Now as I have said previously I have decided to collect sequinned beanies and here is the third in my collection. It's navy and it's a smaller fit then my multi coloured one from Forever 21 but I still love it as much, it's a great alternative to black. As for the necklace I've wanted this for quite some time and originally was going to get it when I got the multi coloured beanie; but decided to get the baseball jacket instead. I think this is a perfect accessory, it's bold but I think it goes with anything and again it is a cross which I just love!! The rest of my outfit is exactly how I used to dress all through last summer. Everyday I would put on a baggy crop top with jeggings and of course vest top underneath; so when I found this top again (it keeps playing hide and seek with me) I knew I had to chuck it on. Memory lane.

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day!! Let's hope it doesn't rain.

As if...
