December 2011 Haul, Primark, Topshop & New Look

 I have been after this ring FOREVER! I love it, I've noticed it on a few of the YouTube girls and thought it looked really different and cute. I managed to find the last one in my local Topshop for £5, which I was over the moon about as I was about to pay about £10 for it off Ebay. Now I have my eye on the matching earings, so watch this space.

This is my new Winter Party clutch. It was a mere £6 from Primark, I love the multi coloured glitter, and even better it doesn't seem to come off and cover everything in its multi coloured joy. It also has a handy little chain, which will be useful for me as I always fear I'll put a clutch down and forget it, now it can be tucked under my arm at all times.

 








































I have been really getting into these oversized sheer shirts. I got one maybe the begining of summer in a mustard colour and barely wore it, now it is never off my back so I decided it was time to invest in another. This one was £10 from Primark, its long and black (oooooooooooherrrrrrrrrrr) and has these cute little gold buttons on. I like how it had a collar and can be buttoned right up, its kinda on trend ( or atleast I like to think it is so I can be a tad fashionable) Oh also the buttons only go half way, which makes it a little more different to the other one I own, and the sleeves can be worn full length or buttoned up so its more of a 3/4 length. I also got a cami/vest top for £2 which is plain black and underneath this top. It is really good quality for only £2, and is super long which I love as I can't stand having to pull them down all the time or being at risk of having mid-rift on show, eeek.

I saw this jumper the last time I was in Primark, but was on my way out the door and could not be bothered to go wait in the que again. So I managed to find the last one in my size this time. It does have a little click on the front in the wool, but they gave me 10% due to it, and it is fixable so I'm not complaining.It was orginially £14, I got it for £12.60. It is my new "Christmas Jumper",. I love the kinda obnoxious gold pattern :) Its also really soft and thick, prefect now it is getting so cold outside.

Ok I know these are a love hate item, but I had to have them! They were so cheap compared to the ones Topshop are selling, these being £6! I like to wear them with the black sheer top above, it just looks really nice, it may be hard to imagine but yes snake skin in my opinion looks nice. These are also really well made and thick, so no bum is on show, and keep your legs rather warm.

These jeans are from New Look, and proved extremely difficult to photograph. Basically they are a pair of bottle green skinny jeans, so comfortable, prefect fit and only £16.99. I want a pair in every colour imaginable now.

Lastly are these little beauts I stumbled across in Wilkinson's. They were £1 each or 2 for £1.50. They smell AMAZING, like edible amazing. As you can see they are Honey and Vanilla, the bubble bath does give plenty of bubbles and the scent is strong but not over powering. The shower gel has lovely little beads in to exfoliate the skin and again the scent is left on your skin for a good few hours. By far the nicest smelling ( cheaper) bath/shower products I have found in a very long time.

Christmas Lustlist

Dear Santa ( friends, family and anyone else who wants to buy me lovely things for Christmas)


These are the items at the top of my list this year:

• A pair of Vans, I think I have my mind set on the red ones, I don't own a pair of trainers and really think its about time I did. 
• A tortoise shell watch, any will do, yes the Korrs one is beautiful, but I see River Island have a rather nice one on offer also.
• Topshop studded flats, I have wanted these for ages. Again I don't have a nice pair of flats, all of mine are just cheap ones from Primark, so these would go down a treat.
• Evil eye ring from Topshop, everyone has it except me :( I'd like it very much.
• Red peace bracelet, again Topshop. I love peace jewelry atm, and this would be a rather pretty addition to my collection.
• Celebrity style studded bag, I like this one as it has the long strap too, I can't really deal with just small handles.
• Upside down cross tee. I may just make one of these myself, as they are so expensive for what they are online.
• Deep red high waisted leggings, these are from River Island, and I like them a lot, I only really have black leggings so time to branch out
• Channel quote jumper, I spotted this in a local boutique, its so cute. I love how its oversized, warm and slouchy, yet still stylish with a catchy quote by Channel.

November Haul- Primark +Vintage + few others :)

Hey, I firstly want to apologize for my lack of blog-posts as of late. I have just been rather busy and if I'm honest I have struggled to come up with ideas for posts. To get back into the swing of things I have forced myself to spend money ( I say force in jest as this is something that comes all a little too easy for me),. so this will be a collective haul. Hope you enjoy, and if anyone has any requests or ideas for new posts please let me know.


So I shall start with a few things I picked up from a local charity shop. The first being this black velvet shirt. It reminded me of something you  could pick up from Topshop atm, and even though it is a size two small and I look like a sausage packed into it, I WILL shrink into this dam top, for now it shall be worn open. I picked up some gold beads, and painstakingly sewn them all over the shirt ( or plan too, for now they are just on the front panels) the beading has taken hours so far, but I had been lusting over the Topshop beaded velvet leggings for a while, and this is my handmade version in shirt form. Oh the shirt cost me £2.50 and the beads £1,. so for £3.50 I am pretty impressed to get a piece bang on trend,.. now the problem I am faced with is styling it, maybe I will have to spend a fortune on something I can actually wear it with * sigh*.

I then got this silver/glittery top from the same charity shop, again it was around £2.50,.. I have no idea what I will wear it with, but I'm thinking of adding a "leather" peter pan collar and making it a tad edgy. Again its very similar to pieces I have seen in Topshop, River Island etc,. so I couldn't ressist getting it. I will upload a picture of the finished product or what I style these pieces with when I have it all figured out.

The next thing is possibly one of my most exciting ( for me) puchases. My darling boyfriend got me this as an early Christmas present, and it is a Fur stoll/collar. I have been wanting one from H&M for a while, however I saw this at a vintage shop and fell in love. Now I am aware it is not everyones cup of tea, mainly because it is real fur and still has its little FACE on,. however it was only a few pounds more than the fake fur version, so I'd rather pay the extra and get the real deal. It is so so warm, goes with pretty much anything and adds a little extra to any outfit. I adore this piece.






























I saw this necklace on a you-tuber last week and really liked it, to my surprise when I went into Topshop it was on sale for £2. Its a "H" in gold on a royal blue enamel background, all on this really sweet delicate gold chain. I really like this and was so happy to pick it up for so little. Again it looks nice with any outfit really and can be worn alone for a more feminine/sweet look,. or layered for a more edgy effect, either way its sweet.

The other jewelry item I got was this "peace" ring from Miss Selfridge. Its basically a silver band with three peace signs in the middle. I love the peace symbol, and although I don't always bring peace to those around me, I certainly try. It was £4 and looks lovely stacked :)




















The last few things are from Primark. The first being this camel coloured vest.  I really like the colour, infact I enjoy all the colours on trend this season. I just think this top is nice to layer ( as its a vest and I live in the UK there is abso no chance of it being worn alone this time of year) The detailing is really sweet, and I especially like the peter pan collar as I didn't have anything with this till I picked up these items.

Lastly is this black long sleeved top. Its kind of baggy, then pulls in at the bottom where there is a elasticated band of fabric. The sleeves are also rather baggy then cuffed.It has a kind of double peter pan collar, and yes I must be the last person walking that didn't buy into this trend, but I am so glad I have now, I like wearing a little necklace underneath so it kinda pokes out at the front of the collar. Again this top is simple, but for Primark I think pretty stylish. I needed something long sleeved, and this fits the bill. It can be dressed up or down, oh and I enjoy the little buttons on the cuffs, nice little detail Primark! 

Hope you liked my few little bits and pieces, if you have any ideas how to style the velvet shirt please let me know as I am struggling.

Weekend in Photo's

Just a few photographs I have taken over the weekend, my boyfriend and I managed to get to two massive firework displays and enjoyed a few sparklers at home. I love it when there is actual "events" to go to on a weekend rather than spending our time doing the usual shopping etc, and as soppy as it sounds it was one of the best and most romantic weekends :)

Week in photo's

• A cute little Pony we came across at the re-homing shelter, unfortunately I don't have space to keep him :( I also couldn't find a dog I liked there either but stay tuned as I may have a new little edition to the family coming soon............
• The best toffee apple I have ever eaten, courtesy of Asda, 50p
• Some kind of pumpkin/vegetable collection I rather liked the look of, I am not saying I have a veg fetish, I just mean they looked rather fetching all together in their little crate.
• The pumpkin my man-friend and I carved for Halloween, we thought it may be good enough to enter the competition at his place of work, I was later informed IT WAS NOT!, I still think it was cute though.

I am absolutely loving this cold weather and now cannot wait to go see a fireworks display at the weekend, getting all wrapped up, it shall be magical I tell you :)
