It's the weekend guys!!
How did that happen??
Today has gone so quick as well!!
I went out for a meal for Jaime's
birthday and I didn't realise how late it was, I literally got home at 5pm or
gone 5 I couldn't believe it!!
I missed out on special moaning
time...I'm going to have to make up for it.
I can't believe the first week of the
holidays is nearly over.
Christmas is over and New Year is
coming up!
Not as excited (completely not
excited) but any excuse for a drink.
Anyway...
This was me yesterday after popping
in to town to meet Jaime.
Now these plans were organised the
night before as I was originally going to visit my aunt and cousins. I have to
admit going shopping appeals to me more then visiting my family (I'm so bad). I
was running really late yesterday morning and I had 45 minutes to get my butt
up and out. I did it in just under an hour as I'm so damn lazy (I swear it's
getting worse it really is). I managed to do my make up quite quickly and
decided to put my lipstick on later. When it came to picking what to wear I
wanted to chuck on a jumper, so I put this look together (more on that later).
After eventually leaving the house and getting the bus I ended up in town. I
got there before Jaime as she usually moans that I'm late (yay); so when she
arrived it was straight to New Look. I
had ordered a pair of pointy creeper esque shoes and they were simply a whim. I
knew there was a good chance I would return them but I secretly thought I would
fall in love with them; unfortunately I didn't and I knew I had to take them
back. While in New Look we decided to
have a gander at the sale which was rubbish!! I can imagine how big the selection
would have been on Boxing Day and then the mass of people buying all the good
stuff. I did try on a navy skater dress and a burgundy owl print peplum top, I
really liked both of them but decided I would never wear the peplum. I decided
to go with the skater dress as it was more me and also for £6 I thought
bargain! We headed to River Island
afterwards as it's just across the road and there was so much and yet nothing
at all (if that makes sense). The only thing that caught my eye was a black
gilet vest, which I really did like but I couldn't warrant paying £25 for it. In
store the sale was rubbish but online I've spent too much money. McDonalds soon followed which
is very much out of my comfort zone, but I did enjoy my chicken nuggets and
chips with a doughnut for desert (not very nice I do not recommend it). Topshop
was next and I have to say THANK YOU TOPSHOP!!
I don't know what it is about Topshop
in store sales; but for the past two of them I have gotten the items I wanted
at a bargain price. Last sale I picked up the Metallica Vest for £12 and this
time I picked up two of the tops that I've been wanting for MONTHS!! No joke
I've been dropping hints to my Mum every time I'm on my laptop. They are both
from brands at Topshop
- the first is from Tee & Cake
and it's a cosmic skull tunic which I've been in love with for as long as I can
remember. It was a tenner which to me is the best thing; although seeing it finally
in my size is more of an amazing thing. The second is a top from Not of this
World and it's a fantasy print, with a skull in what looks like a moon, owls
and horses on it. I fell in love with this top a few months back and when I saw
it in an M I was gonna get it; but when I saw the L I was so frigging happy and
for £12 you can't complain. Needless to say I came out of Topshop
a very happy girl! Primark was next and
I'm finding Primark to be really good
at the moment. I picked up a t-shirt with the name of the Disney princesses on it (I resent that
Aurora is last), a Deep Purple band
t-shirt with a Pegasus on it, a pair of black slipper style shoes, a pack of
two cross studs and some personal items (I think you can guess). Overall I had
a good trip and I didn't even break in to my Christmas money in my account (go
me). We soon went home after that and when I arrived home and revealed my
items, my mother asked me why I buy/wear so much black?? I can't help it!! It's
my colour!!
To the outfit...
Saying that about black is my colour
I seem to look quite colourful in this. As I was meeting Jaime a naturally
girly girl, I thought I would make the effort to girly up so to speak. I do
love my Red Herring
jumper because it always keeps me warm (and not because I work for them). I
think because of the sequinned accents it makes me like this jumper more. Plus
I got 40% off it which helps. The rest of my outfit is just a casual shopping
ensemble. Honestly I put no effort in to it which isn't like me at all!! I'm
wearing an old pair of jeggings that I dug out, as I have been separated from
my faithful trousers (we were reunited today and it felt good). It's been nice
for these past few days wearing denim again but I prefer the ponte material.
I've been wearing these Oki
Kutsu plimsolls a lot lately. I've had them for a good few years I think I
got them in Office up in London, they
were around £32 I think and I remember saving up for them. They have yellow on
the back of the heel and a yellow stripe around the shoe. I really like these
but I only ever discover them once a year and wear them for months. I think
they're going to be staying out for at least years at a time.
I apologise for the lengthy blog post
but you know how I babble on about my life.
It is about 9 something in the
evening and I can feel my bad mood will probably start soon.
An early night so I'll be in a shiny
happy mood for work tomorrow!!
Yeah frigging right!!
As if I would be!!
Warning - avoid Debenhams at all
costs tomorrow if you don't want to be greeted by a moody sales assistant.
You have been warned...
