Home visit

I am back at home for a few days to see my family and friends.

Me and my sister went out last night

I wore these babies! KATY PERRY EYELASHES! They are the same as all eyelure lashes really, same glue, just endorsed by my favourite, Miss KP.

You get a cool sticker in with them as and the packaging is super cute. They were good as well, easy to apply and stayed on all night and I think I can get another wear from them.

There are a couple of different styles available so I will try them next :)



Also the observant of you can see I have dyed my hair, the red faded a lot after its first wash and the difference in colour between my roots and ends was just ridiculous. I panicked and bought a dark colour...and boy did it go dark!! The colour is semi permanent so it should fade slightly *fingers crossed*

hair this dark just doesnt suit my colouring when will I learn?!

hope you all have exciting weeks planned!

Easter Week

Hey just a little post to show you what I have been up to recently

Recent purchases grey top and bag from New Look.


I'm definitley channelling 80s madonna and rock chick at the moment. The skirt I'm wearing is vintage.

Massive steaks for dinner

my first real nail art attempt however...I have not got a steady left hand so I only managed to paint the right hand so it had to come off! haha any tips to help me?

Ben eating a tiny sandwich

night on the town starting with ring of fire, classy.

Sunshine and Shopping

Today I enjoyed some shopping and sunshine at McArthur Glen Outlet with my friend Amy.
What I wore:

Pleat skirt New look, Top New Look, Denim jacket H&M and Necklace Topshop

At McArthur Glen there are lots of popular brands such as Ted Baker, Vans, French Connection, Nike, Next and Levis all at discounted prices.

I bought this top from Saltrock RRP £21.99 I got it for £15.99. I love the acid wash/dyed colour of the top I can't wait to wear it!

There were some great sunglasses and handbags but unfortunately I am on a budget this month so no more for me.

Then we went down the road to the beach at Ogmore.

such lovely weather! hot and sunny, the water was still a bit chilly though.

There were lots of sheep on the grassy banks by the beach with their little lambys too, so cute! Also imagine living in one of the houses by the beach I would never want to go to work if I woke up to see the sea from my window every day!!

Have you got any bargains recently? How have you been enjoying this heatwave?

Sunny Days

So I packed away some of my darker more wintery clothes yesterday as we have had mega weather. I pulled out my summer clothes, I am already formulating outfits for various sunny exploits.

Beer Garden drinks

(Ballet shoes H&M, Sunnies Ray Ban, Vest Warehouse, Skirt Chloe)
BBqs in the Park

(Shorts Scotch & Soda, tee Zumiez.com, bag Modcloth, Necklace Urban Outfitters)

Day Trips

(Dress Joe Browns, I really want this!)

The Hair

Like everyone I am obsessed with Zooey Deschanel her cuteness, her style, HER HAIR.

Im going to get my fringe cut in again this week. I always grow it out becuase I don't normally have time to revisit the hair dresser (my hair grows incredibly fast).

I am considering dying it darker as well but Im still hankering for dip dyed ends.

Anyway I watched the latest episode of New girl yesterday it is the funniest ep so far I think so hopefully it will continue to get better.

I then had a craving for more of her sweet hairstyles and clothes so I watched Yes Man and 500 days of Summer, lazy day I know.

then we went to a friends house for games night which included a very competative game of beer pong yay!


Good day :)

I love bags, if I had lots of money I would buy hundreds. As it is I don't have lots of money so I tend to get one bag and use it until it falls apart.
River Island is where I usually go becuase they are reliable and fashionable but a little bit quirky but if I could I would have one or ALL of these:

The Mulberry Alexa my queen of bags


Lulu Guiness lips clutch (probably in fuschia snakeskin but if we're dreaming why not one in every colour)


Modalu Pippa again not sure exactly what colour I'd go for there are so many lush shades available


What would your dream bag be?

And while we are on the subject of things I want here is a list of more affordable wishes:

Blusher - benefit/Top - motel rocks/Dress - miss selfridge/Bag - bag that style-ebay

Its my birthday on the 24th maybe I will be lucky ;)

more lovely boots

I know I have just bought some heeled boots but....


I feel like I must have these velvet chelsea platform boots:


Asos £65

Ive seen Jameela Jamil wearing a red pair on T4 which were a really nice shade. I think they must be these from Urban Outfitters? I do prefer the asos ones for myself though.


gonna keep my eye on them and see how much money I have left after christmas shopping

Outfit Sorted.

I went with the boots from Boohoo and while I was there this dress caught my eye so I got that as well haha.

Should be buying for others....





the dress was £18 so thats a bargain in my eyes! so looking forward to christmas :)

Ive got my presents all mapped out so now I just have to go and shop for them.

Oh also HORROR of horrors! I went to put the tree up yesterday evening and guess what?! 2 of its feet are missing!! So unless you can buy spare feet for a tree Im going to have to buy a new one :/

still resisting putting up the tree! how good am I?

I can't wait for pay day so I can start getting my christmas presents for everyone, I have some great ideas this year I wont post them because I don't want to ruin any suprises.

My work christmas party is soon as well, what shall I wear?!

I will probably use a dress I already own but I have a lack of shoes, well at least ones that arent seriously scuffed!

New Look is always my first go-to for shoes theyre so cheap and good quality:
These look they are straight out of Disneys Hercules! Gold winged shoes like Hermes wears :D £22.50

and look another Gucci inspired purple and gold heel! I LOVE these they are a much closer match to the Gucci pair!

A bit more pricey at £42 from Dorothy Perkins


I also love these shoe boots from Boohoo
these are a resonable £35

I will do another post when I have decided! x

Purple and Gold

I was in Birmingham recently and went into Selfridges for a look around. I shouldnt have because now I can't get these shoes out of my head!

Gucci £540


Found a cheaper alternative in New Look £38


hmm lovely but not quite Gucci...

J'adore Dior

I love the Grace Kelly and Marlene lookalikes!

fabulous advert

Watches

Working around watches all day its only right I should own one.

These are my favourite:
Frederique ConstantMichael KorsGucciRaymond Weil Emporio Armani


Rose Gold and Ceramic watches are the biggest trends at the moment almost every brand has a version.

I'm stuck which to go for!! Id happily take them all!

Katy Perry

Dress from Quiz

Im just getting possible ideas for October when I see her on tour. I need to dress in something spectacular!


this is an expensive option at around £40

plus I kind of wanted something a bit skimpy ha!

when I get paid

I would like:
from peacocks

Recent purchases

French Connection Pick and mix bead dress £145.

I loved this a soon as I saw it, Its totally me in every way! very 1920s in style and so is the pattern on the material. Its more expensive than I would usually buy but I got a bit of discount as we sell it at work. When I wear it I will get a photo for you.

Barry M Instant nail effects £3.99

I love these paints, It gives the impression of professionally painted nails that took ages to do but its just quick and easy and cheap!

available in 4 colours, I bought the black as it goes with everything.
check out the tutorial:

The Muppet Show series 3!

I got series 1 for christmas off Ben and we both loved it! so when I saw series 3 on offer I had to buy it!
My favourite character by far is the Swedish Chef!

1940s hairstyle

I mentioned a while back that i was attending a swing party at the end April. Unfortunately its been canceled :(

however I had been practicing my look before it got canceled so here is my 1940s Betty Grable inspired hairstyle

what do you think?


Thanks to my boyfriend for taking the photos.


Im wearing my lovely vintage knit cardi that I got from the Blind Lemon vintage fair. My dress is from Dorothy Perkins its a lovely dress perfect for summer and reminds me of the dresses little victorian girls wore with their thick black tights and ankle boots. I tried to find a picture from the 1993 film Secret Garden to give an example because I know the girl wears a dress just like it, but nowhere had any stills.

I have a weeks holiday so Ive come back home to Coventry. I have internet here so expect a few catch up posts! at last!
