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! 

What I've been buying... Tesco clothing

I've made my very first order with Florence & Fred @Tesco, and I must say I'm super duper impressed! Due to the low prices, I was expecting 'nice' clothes, just 'nice.' I popped over to their website, expecting to see maybe one or two nice things, but I seen LOADS of much better than nice things. Easily could have spent £100.

My routine when shopping online is to fill my basket with everything I like the look of, then think of a spending limit and whittle the basket down to the limit. My limit for F&F was £40 (there is a promotion on in aid of London Fashion Week that if you spend £40 you get 10 off) So in actual fact my limit was £50! :D #GottaLovePromotions

#GottaHatePostage&Packing

I spent £41.93 due to these charges lol!

Wine Jeans..

If you've seen my latest 'Want Want Want' post, you would have noticed wine jeans on there... I got them for the little sum of £16 :D 

Aztec Jumper...

Hello knitted jumper.. Hello Aztec.. Hello perfect jumper. It's OH SO Soft too... Always a bonus! £16 baby... Oh so cheap! (I'm reminding myself of the latest haribo advert here.. have you seen it? I LOVE it haha.. it's the father, he gets me every time with his cracking dance moves... 'Squiggayyy Squiggayy babyy')

Purple denim shorts...

I'm in LOVE with this shorts... they look so expensive. Seriously like really expensive. They're just as good as Topshop £35 shorts! I love the colour, I love the fit.. I LOVE the price, just £16! 

I'll probably be doing another of this type post in the near future when my Topshop things arrive :D LOVE having money! Next week I will probs be skint again haha! Oh and I'm going shopping today.. 'real life' shopping... that's when my spending habbit gets really out of hand... I'm on the look out for some shirts.. I always want to wear a shirt casually, but all mine are a tad 'dressy'... bet I wont come home with anything I 'need'

Have a good week y'all! 

Want Want Want...

Yesterday was Student loan day, which has already got me searching for things I'm gonna spend my money on!

Although my intention is to be sensible with this loan.. I'm gonna pay off my student overdraft; but that still leaves me some money spare :) The main thing I'm after is essentials, I really don't wanna splurge on things I'm gonna wear once or twice! So here's some of my 'essentials'

A 'Boyfriend' Tee

Band tees: Amplified
Jack Daniels: Ebay? 

Boyfriend tees; tees that are typically seen on men but stolen by women lol! I have a few of these type tees and wear them all the time, so I'm a little bored.. need a new baby :) 

Wine Jeans

MissGuided

Love the colour, love jeans! I'm rather bored of wearing plain old blue denim.. this colour is such an autumnal colour and will jazz up any boring jeans and tee outfit! 

Tights and Socks

All Topshop

Tights and socks are so amazing these days, never just your boring old black! There is a massive range of patterned tights which completely transform an outfit! They are no longer just to keep your legs and feet warm, they are a fashion statement! Can't wait to get my mitts on some! 

Pleated Skirt

Therapy@ House of Frasier

I can't actually see me wearing this, as I don't really do skirts; I'm more of a shorts girl! BUT I really wan't it, and there's nothing wrong with giving it a try, will look gorgeous with some of the tights pictured above! 

SNAKE PRINT

All Saints

How freaking beautiful is this top!! Not a bad price for All Saint's either! I want snake print everywhere... might treat myself to this top.. I seriously love it! (Telling myself that this is not an essential.. I can't control my magpie-ness)

Ok, so I'm getting out of hand here.. So I'm gonna stop with this post before my sensible head disappears and I fall in love with something and have to buy it. I'm very proud/surprised that I haven't featured any shoes on my wishlist! 

Other things I'm coveting are...

Tartan Trousers

Dalamation Print in any way, shape or form! 

Big fat chunky knits

and much much more...

What y'all wishing for? 

P.s... If anyone is wondering why for the last three weeks I haven't done 'Shoes of the week.' It's simply because I'm uninspired by shoes lately and don't want to post a load of cack :) As soon as I'm inspired again it will be back up and running! 

I'm Wearing a cape... Fearne Cotton @ Very.co.uk

The lovely Jessica over at Very contacted me last week and asked me if I would review an item of my choice. Of course, I jumped at the chance! I had sooo many things to choose from, but finally with the help of friend I whittled my long list of 'loves' down to one thing. I wanted something that I didn't already have, and wanted something a little different to what I'd normally buy, so I chose this gorgeous Fearne Cotton @Very tartan/checked cape.

Verdict: The very first time I tried it on I didn't like it, but I'm pretty sure that was because I was wearing pyjamas and didn't have my hair done or anything. I put it on again today after I'd got myself ready and I love it now! In the third picture I'm wearing a belt around it, which is possibly how I'd wear it out, I put the belt around my body and around the front of the cape, I think it gives me a little more shape.

Quality: The material is very soft and seems like it could last well, it kinda feels like a fleece blanket so will keep me lovely and cosy in winter. I won't know the true quality until I've wore it a number of times!
Style: I think with a cape it's either love or hate. This is not the type of thing I'd wear shopping as it's kinda awkward, but if I had a boyfriend who could carry all my bags it would be awesome :)
Fit: I've got a size 10... which fit's me perfectly around the neck and shoulder areas. Obviously the rest of the cape is meant to be oversized but it's not too baggy that it looks silly.

The main thing I love about this cape is the collar, it gives the cape a very vintage feel. I just love little details like this on clothes as they can transform the whole look.

Worth the Price? This cape retails at £75. I believe it's worth that. Littlewoods are also selling this coat, but it's a fair bit cheaper on Very! As this is a celebrity collection it is obviously going to come up a little more expensive than normal. I think this cape really reflects Fearne Cotton's style. I love how you can have a slice of Fearne Cotton and her fantastic wardrobe, yet still have your own style while wearing this! 

What do you think ladies? 

Galaxy nails

I've tried to do galaxy nails on a number of occasions but kept failing miserably! But this time, I love them!

Avon midnight blue. Models Own: Fuzz peach, aciiid, snow white, jade stone,  juicy jules.
 Ebay white nail art pen

I have come to the conclusion that galaxy nails picture better than they look in real life? On camera they look so smooth, but they don't look as smooth in real life! I do love them though, wish they were a tad more sparkly! The first time I tried these nails I ruined them with the stupid amount of juicy jules I put on top, so I tried to use it sparingly... I just can't get that happy medium lol! Link me to your nails if you have done these :)

If you want to try them, there's a fair few tutorials on YouTube... but my suggestion is just try your own thing, coz if your anything like me.. your nail art never turns out as good as the girls on YouTube so it's easier not to compare lol! Oh, and do one nail at a time, as otherwise the nail varnish dries and doesn't smudge and give the same galaxy effect.. (It took me a while to figure this out lol). One last tip... lots and lots of topcoat really blends it all together and gives a finishing touch!

My birthday Outfit

So last night I celebrated my 22nd birthday! It was an AMAZING night. Full of alcohol, laughs, lots of fun and a tiny bit of drama too! My favourite type of night out is when the next day you see your friends and everyone has a different story to tell, and everyone reminisces about funny happenings! There is no words to describe how rough I feel today!

I kinda run out of time to do a proper outfit post, but this picture will do.. lol! 

Dress: Yayer

My lovely friend made me this gorgeous cake!! Can't wait to eat it :) 

I hate when you have 'red eye' in pictures, then you correct it and it makes your eyes all weird!! My eyes don't normally look like this, they're blue, and now I have dark hair they're mega blue lol! After having pictures done, I've realised I need a new, darker eyebrow pencil.. A trip to Mac is in order :) 

Oh and if any regular readers are wondering ''what happened to ombre hair?'' Well... DISASTER!!! On Friday I was in the Salon from 9AM to 4PM.. bit of advise for you all.. DO NOT DYE YOUR HAIR RED!! Red is lovely until you wanna be a different colour, it refuses to leave your hair... we stripped the red with ColourB4 and it come out to a point that we thought brown would cover. Well I had brown roots and browny-red hair, but it looked OK, and I thought I can dye it again in a few weeks so it will be all brown. So we continued to ombre the hair, put 20% bleach on and it wasn't going blonde at all, just turning it a salmon pink, so we used the 40% really strong stuff.. and nope my hair would not go blonde (apart from the very tips)! I ended up looking a right hilarious state.. I had brownish hair with somehow bright red, salmon pink and bleach blonde ends. I looked funny! We just had to put a dark drown over the top then to hide the disaster that was my hair! So, I will be ombre one day, but Friday wasn't it.. I'm gonna try again in a few weeks! 

What do you think of my dark hair?

I've grown a moustache :/

Haaaii :)

So I'm gonna post a picture of my nails even though they didn't turn out as expected.. My white nail polish has gone DISGUSTING! I have to do like 5 coats before it becomes opaque and it goes all bubbly and stuff then. With THAT amount of polish, nail art becomes very hard!!!

White: Barry M
Black: Nail art pen Ebay

I edited this photo within an inch of my life trying to hide the disgustingness that is bubbly white nail polish and very amateur nails. BUT at a distance they look kinda cool... thought I'd post them anyway even though they're not up to my standard! My little finger looks kinda decent though lol!

Since I actually wrote this post I have received lots of new lovely nail polishes from the models own 50% off
sale! I got myself a new white, so there will be no more disasters like this! Yay!

I'm ombre-ing my hair tomorrow.. I'm going through the 'shall I actually do it' 'no I can't' 'What if it looks shit' phase but I'm gonna let them thoughts carry on and gonna just go for it. I am so nervous/exited though. The hardest thing will be getting the red dye out of my hair! EEeeek!!!

I'm going out for a meal tonight... so hopefully there will be ANOTHER outfit post tomorrow.. IF I can find something to wear lol!

Have a fun weekend ladies & gents!

P.s: Moustaches are actually reaaally hard to draw on your nails lol!
