#SarenzaAmbassador

 As your probably aware Sarenza are holding a competition to become one of their ambassadors.. Now you all know how much I love shoes so I cannot and will not miss this opportunity. I always browse the Sarenza Website and when they say that it is 'Your ultimate shoe closet' they are not lying! To be involved with sarenza and have the chance to review amazing footwear EVERY MONTH is a dream come true for a shop-aholic/shoe-aholic like me!

My favourite shoes are the Cherry Red Dr Martens. 

If I had to chose a shoe that personified my personality it would be a pair of Dr Martens, they are... 

-Completely British

-Hard to break in, but forgiving when done so

-Hard exterior but soft interior 

-Top Quality

-Stand out in a crowd 

-Loads of fun

-You either love them or hate them 

I don't really need to explain why they're my favourite.. just look at them! Here's a few ways I would wear them, I especially love the last outfit, very 90's grunge which is the style I'm edging toward lately. 

I will be purchasing these regardless of the outcome of this competition coz they are freaking AMAZING! 

Good luck y'all if you enter :) 

Random black and white

I decided to paint each nail with a different pattern... I think my favourite is the very simple polka dot one.. just simple but effective.. I smudged a few of them prior to taking the picture.. for example the stripy one! But cannot be arsed to re-do! Oh and please to ignore the bottom pic pointing finger, it was not meant to look like this haha! 

White nail polish is a MASSIVE pain in the arse! No matter what brand I try it becomes really gloopy, so I try the 'mix nail varnish remover with the polish' trick and it does work but the white become too runny then, even if I use just a little bit.. I use white polish a lot, so really need a good one? Any recommendations? I currently use Models Own and have tried Barry M and a crappy Claires accessories one and they were all fine at first! I'm guessing I'm gonna have to splash out a bit! 

Funny story.. Yesterday I ordered a £699 Canon 600D BY ACCIDENT!!! haha.. I was just adding it to the basket on Very.com and seeing how much it would be to pay monthly and how much with 10% discount code etc.. then clicked continue and BAM 'Order accepted' I was like SHITFUCKDAMN!! haha but then after the shock wore off I actually got exited.. I was planning to pay using their store credit, so would be paying a bill every month! I was thinking how wonderful (maybe) my pictures would be etc.. and I was actually planning on buying one anyway so thought Ah well.. least I actually made the big plunge without having to think about it... so I logged out of Very, got on with my day etc come home and logged back on and to my utter disappointment my credit was rejected :( Now technically I should be relieved but I was sooo gutted, like I said after the shock I got all exited and stuff. So today I couldn't get over the fact that I wasn't actually getting the Canon 600d.. so I ORDERED IT ANYWAY haha! But this time I bought it on Jessops and have actually ordered it (I hope).. end of funny story.

So maybe next week I'm hoping to blog with a brand new shiny camera :) (my pics will still probably be shit haha)

The girl who cried wolf

Apologies for the shit quality pictures,I hate my face in them all but I do like my outfit :) 

Cardigan: Urban Outfitters
Fur stole: H&M
Shorts: Topshop
Top: New Look

I wore this out last night for a meal with the girls.. such a funny night! Got to love a girly catch up! I bought this wolf top the other day and absolutely adore it. I've wanted a wolf top for ages and this one was so cheap.. bit of a win win situation! Haven't really stopped wearing my shorts since I bought them.. so comfy and a perfect fit!

These outfit pictures were SUCH a struggle.. I was in the middle of having a hot flush and posing for a picture just was not helping the situation! (hence the shiny face) This is why the pictures are so shit; I couldn't wait to get them over and done with. Another reason why they're shit is coz it was dark and the final reason is coz I've got an awful camera! There you go haha! 

I am absolutely loving my week off work, had my one and only exam yesterday... super glad that's over with ... and now I can just relax all week! I'm having a spray tan tomorrow which I'm super exited about.. it's not about being pale! Then again though, I would love to have porcelain type pale skin with dark hair and red lips.. think Dita Von Teese.. such a beautiful look! I really do envy people who pull off pale! 

I'm aiming to blog at least another twice this week.. really taking advantage of my time off, so keep an eye out for some new posts :) 

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!

Silver and Black

YAY a nail post :) Haven't done one of these in sooo long, haven't even painted my nails for weeks! Stupid job!

Models Own: Sterling Silver:
Black Nail Art pen: Ebay

Not overly impressed with these though, love my thumb and ring finger but that's about it! My latest obsessions is with triangles, so wanted to do some nail art based around them! Forgot to put topcoat on though, so they aint that shiny :( 

I reaaaally need to have some sort of manicure and should really start moisturising my hands, my hands are probably the least looked after part of my body.. wash them eveyday and that's about it! I bite my nails as soon as they start growing coz they always start peel and then I HAVE to bite them lol! 

I have a week off work now, so painting my nails is TOP of my list.. miss my lovely nail art!

Hope your all having an awesome weekend!

Born in the USA

Firstly, I apologies for the outfits in a mirror malarkey... I was in London, and definitely didn't want to take my tripod with me, I suppose I could have asked my mother to be photographer, but that would have been too sensible of me :)  

Shirt: Batoko
Neck Tie: Bootsale
Shorts: River Island
Coat: Topshop (via Ebay)

Loved this outfit.. this shirt is the best thing ever, and pairing it with the cute little neck tie was an awesome idea even if I do say so myself! 

So London was awesome! Although Oxford Street is SO monotonous, literally about every 5 shops was a Russell and Bromley, River Island, H&M, New Look or Next. Bit of variety would have been nice. Wasn't very impressed with Forever 21, the jewellery online is AMAZING, but they just didn't have the same collection in store. I went into Selfridges, wanted to buy myself a gorgeous designer purse, but nothing caught my eye, and when your gonna spent a heap of money on one thing you want it to be amazing don't you, so ended up with a £10 Topshop purse! 

Spitalfields Market was awesome, especially the cute shops around that area, much more exiting than the highstreet! Wish the market had more stalls though, but I'm guessing it comes alive on the weekends! I drank a whiskey at 11am so that was a first for me lol! 

Oh and if anyone is wondering how my Veneers consultation went.. It was AWESOME! I'm all booked up and ready to go! I'm doing 2 weeks of home whitening starting tomorrow then I'm booked in for temporary veneers 13th February and then the REAL THING on the 27th of February! Really cannot wait for my new smile :D I'm thinking of taking a picture of my teeth everyday through the whitening process so I'll be sure to have a blogpost on that soon! Should be pretty fun! 

Umm, don't think I have anything else to say... I've just finished my Essay for hand in tomorrow, so nice and relieved now, just an exam on Tuesday and then I'm done for a few weeks! YAY! 

Oh and I'll show you all what I bought in London.. will probably be my next blog post! Have a good weekend :) 

Want Want Want

This is my most current wishlist, Kind of a dark/gothic theme going on which is what I seem to be wearing a lot of lately! 

Top row: All Topshop
Middle row: Tee- truffle shuffle. shirt: topshop
Last row: Creepers- Underground. Shorts and shoes: Topshop

Bit of a cheater as I've already bought the stripy shirt... It's quite pricey for what it is but so amazingly soft! I very nearly bought the gorgeous red velvet shoes on boxing day, they are absolutely perfect on, but I had to decide between them and Dr Martens, and I chose Dr Martens, as I have wanted them for so so soooo long! The creepers, again have wanted for ages now, but they are a little pricey, so I'm maybe gonna get a cheap version off Ebay! The Harry Potter tee is freaking amazing.. think I might have to definitely get that on my back! 

I'm going to London on Monday shopping, then staying over night and having my veneers consultation on Tuesday.. So wont be buying anything until I've graced the streets of London. Is there a Forever 21 on Oxford Street? I reeeeally hope there is. Last time I went in a forever 21 was in New York about 4 years ago, I loved it then and bought loads but for some reason I'm reluctant to shop on they're online shop! 

Anyway I'm so freaking exited for my consultation, eventhough I got a bad feeling that for some reason I wont be able to have veneers.. No idea why I have this feeling but I do lol! I hope it is just simply a feeling and that I'm not psychic and it becomes true haha! I did have a dream I was psycic last week and it was super freaky.. like really really weird, and a psychic once told me that I have powers haha! 

I feel so stressed this week.. like I got so many things to do and no time/energy/motivation to get anything done. Got assignments and exams coming up this month which have yet to be actually thought about. I hate being so last minute.. maybe that should have been my New Years resolution! 

Anyways starting to talk shit! Hope you all have a lovely week, probably most of all yours 1st week back to reality after Christmas, yeah? Hope it hasn't been too difficult!
