shopping is cheaper than a psychiatrist

Since payday I've been pretty much non-stop purchasing! Going to London really didn't help the matter.. most of what is pictured here was bought there :) 

PRIMARK 

Not sure the dress is very 'me' but will probably toughen it up a bit, do love it though! The shirt is awesome and looks and feels a tad more expensive than it was! 

TOPSHOP

LOVE both of these things.. was actually hoping to find this dress in the dark red colour, but didn't! It literally fell out of the sale rail into my hands... I didn't even see it lol.. So I knew I had to buy it! What I love about velvet is the how theres lots of different shades of colour depending on where the light hits, weirdly though, thats what I used to hate about velvet! The shorts were featured in my latest Wish List and they are perfect.. have picked them up many a time in Topshop but always told myself I didn't need any more shorts!  Glad I finally got them! 

URBAN OUTFITTERS

This picture does not do this jacket justice! I think it will be perfect in spring/summer when you just need a little cover up, its very lightweight! I love that it's aztec and pastely type colours (more-so in real life than on this pic) so will be bang on trend for S/S! This was a massive bargain, reduced from £40 to £20 and then when I got to the till it was £10 (£9 with NUS woohoo)! 

TRAFFIC PEOPLE

The design of this bag has me written all over it.. I could not leave it in the shop! The only thing is I'm really not fussed on the shape of the bag.. it's one of them shoulder bags that tuck right up under your armpit! Remind me of bags I used to use when I was like 12! I'm gonna buy a long silver chain to make it into an across body bag.. 

SPITALFIELDS MARKET 

Well, when I went to spitalfields I was under the impression that markets start early.. but no everywhere around there doesn't open till like 11am! So there wasn't much to look at, but I aim to go there again on a Sunday in summertime.. I'm sure it is amazing then! I bought this beautiful headband, been lusting over one for a while, but didn't think it would suit me.. This one is so perfect, it feels like real fur it's so so soooo soft! It is faux though :) It's been so cold up here in the valleys the last couple of days, so I'm sure I'll get good use out of this!

NEVER FULLY DRESSED

This was a monster of a bargain.. I bought it over at NFD on Asos Marketplace on sale for £16 reduced from about £54! The blue is so vibrant in real life.. my camera does the colour no justice at all! Here's the link to this beautiful shirt! Ahh... while getting the link I've realised the shirt has gone back up to full price :( I feel extra lucky now though haha! 

Sooo, lovely people that's what I've been buying! Oh, and I'm well chuffed to say that I have reached 300 followers... YAY! Thank you all, another little mile-stone for me and my little blog!

Purple Shorts...

I hate my face in these pictures.. I'd run out of my usual foundation, so painted on about three of my mothers ones. I just look plain awful in these... thought I'd post them anyway coz I really do like my outfit :) 

This is one of them outfits that was thrown together, I had new shorts, so obviously had to wear them and I just picked up the first top I seen, not really much thought went into it, but really liked the way it turned out! 

Top: Primark 

Shorts: Clothing @Tesco

Necklace: Coleyyyful's shop

I literally have the shittest camera in the world.. I don't know if I'm using it wrong or if it literally is just plain crap, I think it may be the latter. I would love a DSLR.. Might ask for one for Christmas. I love learning how to work new things, so I think I might be OK with using it correctly. I'm just so fed up of having shit grainy poor quality pictures on my blog. I feel it's one of the reasons that I don't do outfit posts too often! 

The weather was lovely when I wore this outfit. Not too hot that I was sweating my tits off, just right, this outfit was actually perfect for the temperature! 

I'm going to attempt to start a 'nail art type business' where I paint false nails and make them all pretty and sell them to you guys so you can all have pretty nails too :) What do you think? Would you buy any? I'm willing to do custom designs too! 

Last thing for today.. Any bloggers near the South Wales area really must check out this post on 'Fat Frocks' Blog.. The lovely Gemma has organised a blogger meet up on the 12th October which is going to be amazing.. I'm so exited to meet other bloggers and the event itself sounds like it's gonna be one NOT to miss :) So if you live nearby GET INVOLVED!

P.s: You think I would have used a variety of pictures instead of three of practically the same photo lol! 

But don't you step on my yellow suede shoes... Outfit

Hey Guuuuuys! 

This is my new jumper that I wore yesturday on my Birthday... I'm totally in Love with it. Such an autumnal twist on the aztec trend! I had the last one in the shop in a size 12, but I like the oversized look! Oh and PLEASE ignore my face in this picture I look like a pervy old man :s haha!

Jumper: River Island
Faux Leather trousers: H&M

Shoes: Primark

I spotted these gorgeous mustard shoes in Primark and instantly fell in love! They were only £16 but back in the day these would have been about £10.. how bloody expensive has it gone? I spent £40 in Primark altogether, that would usually get you a fair few things.. I bought just THREE things? GOD £40 used to get a basket full! I'll show you more of the shoes in a different post; they are pretty awesome!

I never actually thought I'd have the guts to wear leather trousers, but these H&M ones are amazing, the material panel down the side make for a comfier less clingy version than the full leather ones! They're a steal at only £14.99 too.. Just imagine how much they would be in Topshop! Oh talking of Topshop.. I'm extremely proud of myself that for at least one day of my life I am not wearing ANYTHING by Topshop! Deffo a first for me :) Seriously bored of being head to toe Topshop all the time!

Last thing: BIG NEWS: On Friday I am taking the plunge and Ombre-ing my hair.. gonna be a hard process as I first have to get the red out, dye my hair brown, THEN finally put the bleach on! Don't even know if it is gonna be possible yet, but fingers crossed that come Friday evening my hair will be beautiful :) So bored of red now... literally everyone has got it around where I live. I wanna stand out in a crowd and not blend in! I actually don't know ANYONE who isn't a celebrity/blogger that has ombre hair... Even though us bloggers see it as a big trend, I think in 'real life' it isn't, just like no 'normal' person lusts over Arty Rings and JC Litas and all the other little 'blogger lusts.'

God I feel like I could talk for hours today... Sorry about the rambley post. I'll stop now otherwise I'll be writing a 2000 word essay here! haha! If only uni assignments were this easy eh? God here I go rambling again. SHUT UP LOWRI!!!

Lots of Love
