I dont think it appropriate to apologise for my absence just because it may and most definitely will happen again. whos wants to read apologies anyway? I've been working so mainly my outfits consist of black. Here is today. going to visit an art gallery.

If you follow my twitter. I pledged in the week that I wasn't going to spend more than £10 on one item of clothing ad so far so good. I got this awesome vintage laura ashley velvet flock jacket thing lack week for an almighty £2.50. And yesterday I spotted these bright blue creeper-esque shoes for £5.00 so naturally I had to. Review so far haven't been areeable but I love them! Im not wearing them today but no harm in showing you ?So with my new iniative whether to detail the price of my clothes... suggestions please.

Also I ordered some virgin indian hair from ebay... its on now. installed the whole thing myself took about 7 hours from weave in to weave out. Also little fact I have never had my air done in the by anyone other my mum/self bar one relaxer/chemical burn.

i am a man with a heavy heart



fauxfur -oasis/ jeans - topshop/ tee - stolen



Though I'd keep this post short and sweet, and show you my new fur coat, there's 4 and counting, I don't care there summer is apparently coming, they are beautiful this one is from oasis and was an absolute steal at only £20. I know.

I've been think about adding a new dynamic to the blog. my videos, writing, but I want it to be good. Undecided as yet...

tubran - ebay/ -leopard print cardigan - h&m/ sheer shirt - primark/ coat - thrift/ shorts - miss selfridge/ shoes - topshop

i've had a really nice weekend and just thought to so you a few pictures taken this weekend in ldn, where i attented a bloggers meet which cool and different luckyily i already knew sian, who's in the picture with me, she from the same town and I've never really spoke to her that much, but it was cool to hang out, oh how we shopped, but also spoke frankly about blog = a ling.

I borrowed my friend charlie's camera its an 1000d and look at the picture quality!
I have a stock load of pictures I want to show you, so I'll have to put on my editing superbrain and filter them out through the week.

Also the turban, looks better irl! and was only £3 from an ebay seller. puck you topshop+riverisland, seriously £12.

neither particularly appeals to me.

coat - thrift/ hat - river island/ shirt - thrift/ ring - h&m/ belt - vintage/ shorts - miss selfridge

Somewhat picture heavy today but at least the quality is much better than yestreday offering.

This is a new shirt it's 90's newlook and I kinda love it. If you follow this blog you will know that i am a massive fun of leopard print. As testament to this, my boyfriend says that whenever we are in a shop of walking and I spy anything leopard print, I find that it is only duty to go and inspect. What can I say ? I'm trashy. But I can help it. I picked it up in my favourite charity shop when I went to town on Monday, it was only £1.25 as they were having a 1/2 price sale. Now what charity shop do you know that has a sale? I pick up 3 other garments which will be sure to make their way on this blog soon.

Plus basically I'm wearing summer clothes but with tights; I'm pretty sure I've done this all winter; but I'm struggling to envision my perfect summer shoes, atm I'm imagining rope heeled espardrille from primark (£3) I wanted some last summer but they were all out of my size..

Last pic to prove I do step outside and smile its not just hearsay, bf's garden.

nothing to me about my life





shirt - h&m/ shorts - red herring/ rings - primark, h&m, new look
Tried a new style in my hair today; swedish inspiration, just a plait either side, then pinned to the other and some fringe left out. So simple; but I like it. I had planned to wear vintage earrings with my hair like this but they are breaking :( so i am on the scout for new ones. I really want some dream catcher earring with massive feathers; I can dream.

Sick of this shirt but i really don't have loads of tops! but i do have about a billion shorts and trousuers. These are new I got them on saturday along with a pair of paperbaggers; they were only £7.50 down from £25; I still havent filled my shorts void. I really want some with a scalloped trim.

I am actually wearing orange eyeshadow from the palette my boyfriend bought me at christmas. Now off to reconile my life

faceless



top 25p jumble sale/ coat - thrift/ clutch - primark

faceless/nameless
Actually bought this blouse 3 months ago at a jumble sale for 25p; I told you I was classy. Though I love the cut out detail on the neck line- it also have billowy bell sleeves; I own a lot of shirts so rather then repeatedly buying the same thing it's important for something to be different, no ?

I find a prefer masculine/ clean/ styling; I'm no Calvin Klein; but I think that reflects my personality. Something a little harder. Its important to have your own style doesn't mean you can't follow trends but at when point your alter ego with have to rest... If not I find people end up fashion victims. Its not about carbon copies. I mean there is no I would wear a peter pan collar. Honestly I will look like I'm playing dress up; it doesn't mean I don't like them it's mean they don't suit and me, and that is probably because they are not my style.

inspire me; how was your weekend?
I bought some new stuff


dress - topshop/ cluthes - primark/ notebook - tk maxx/ purse - primark


The dress is from topshop is real silk and cost me £15 down from £50; probably because no one was buying it! It got such a loose fluid shape that somehow look perfect tailored it hangs in all the place. I wore it out on Saturday night; at first I though belt. Then I thought FUCK DA WAISTBELTS. I admit it does look like a hard colour to wear but its the most insane insane neon pink; perfect.

kimono jacket - matalan/ joy division tee - ebay/ jeans topshop/ lace up wedges - h&m/ gold cuff - miss selfridge

Not a particular well coordinated outfit but I wore it for one my friends birthday drinks, the kimono is new and bought in the sales. I kinda love it; it wasn't something I wanted prior but I just spotted and at £8 was a major bargain.


RESOLUTIONS

For the majority of just I think resolution will be hot on our minds and I've been thinking about my for a couple of days;

- READ. READ WELL AND FAR. this year I want to read at least 30 books, which on average should take me 1 1/2 weeks each. and that something I shall hopefully be documenting on my blog. Books can be so entertain, frightening, thought provoking and I haven't had that in while. But I do look forward to eat.

- TAKE BETTER CARE. of my self over. IT may be digusting but this starts with showering more. I think I have a slight phobia of getting we. I think generally since I've had more time on my hands this has happened; but there is even more pampering to come.

- TRY HARDER. at blogging of course. I had a little downtime during christmas because I work(curse) in retail. and Presently I still do but that doesn't mean this blog shall suffer. At least I can promise you one thing i will never borrow content. this isn't tumblr. this is blogger. I will comment more. DEAR 34 FOLLOWERS I APPRECIATE YOU ALL!

- LEARN. to drive; I'll be honest I only remembered this one yesterday whilst my friend was driving me about. This should really do; it presents at challenge to me and gives me something to work towards; I don't want this year to just slip away from me. Just because I'm not going travelling.

- VISIT my friends! the real ones. I already have a trip planned to Manchester for feb. I still need to go to cornwall; brighton and brum. which i will!

- LOSE. weight and hate. I'm not particularly on the larger side I just want to be a tidier; you cant fault me for that. I should use that gym membership ma mere is paying for. starting next week... weight is such a sensitive issue no ? I don't want to be angry or hate; it waste so much energy which probably isn't even felt by the other side.


So here I am wish me luck.

all change please






fur coat - matalan/ silk vest - next/ jeans - topshop/ hat - river island

Bar the hat everything is new and cheap. The jeans only cost £15, silk £8 and coat £20. Somtimes being cheap is good, exhilirating even.

I barely ever wear jewellery mainly because i find it such a labourious task putting on and then taking it off again. especially metal - its so cold! lazy?

I've noticed alot of people on the blogosphere dont wear jeans, i say they dont like the way they look in them. yes, they may arse look big... but I'm firming a jean, trousuers and shorts girl. Why I dont know. I just find that there is something so much cleaner about them. Skirts and dress make me feel like a little girl. Dont get me wrong there are some beautiful creations around but I dont feel like being 9 again. In fact im unsure as to whether bar for a post where ive been going out I've even worn as a dress..

This is what happens when I dont use make up brushes..

i just want to dance







white tee - next/ cargo pants - next/ gold cuff - miss selfrigde


That's exactly feel, I just want to go out dancing, its so much fun, but I wont be for a long time :(. Missed my boyfriends Christmas party 2 weeks ago due to snow, and ordered a dress on asos which arrived yesterday, which means I have two unused dresses, gutted; but I will feature them soon. As well as some new additions to my room.

Above you see the fruits of the next sale, super baggy white; skinny cargo pants; don't call me boring I like it.

Hope everyone will have a fun night tomorrow.




Baby I just wanna dance; I don’t really care; I just wanna dance; I don’t really care… care… care

sheer shirt - gift(mum)/ studded cuff - gift(mum)

Work has been well, plentiful. and by plentiful I mean I've been there everyday this week, on Christmas eve to 7, preparing for next sale! However did reserve some nice things, which hopefully I'll get to show you soon, but I've got to much work next week, including starting the sale as 5AM! ON Monday morning. I have got some really nice things that I've brought in the sale so far.

I just wanted to show you on my present that my lovely boyfriend got me, he knows that I have sweet tooth. OK maybe more than a sweet tooth. This shirt is perfect, it sheer, has a dip back hem and blush pinks, I'm picking my summer colours already.

hang the dj


Knitted dress - Primark £5 / Velvet leggings - Primark £3 / Nude kitten heels - Primark £4/ Over the knee sock - Primark £2.50 / Tights - Primark £2.50 / Orange lip gloss - Primark 50p / Purple eyepencil - Primark £2.00 / Black wool fedora - River Island £4.99 / Studio fix fluid NW45/Studio fix concealerNW40 - Mac

Yesterday my boyfriend and I went to oxford, unfortunately I forgot my SD card in my laptop (smarty pants), so I couldnt take any pictures; but I'be had such a nice day, infact I've had such a nice weekend.

Dont look at me like that! Nude...Patent...Kitten heels, I don't know what wrong with me but i love them, they look so ugly they're brilliant and as I told my boyfriend I will wear them anywhere and everywhere!

Truth be told i didnt actually pay for the leggings and dress, not because I'm a tea - leaf, but because the cashier didn't them, I did think it was cheap, but didn't actually check the receipt till I had left the store, oh well. And the hat was so cheap because they mistakenly put at £15 off sticker on it when it was only meant to be £10 off, but I'm not complaining...

My boyfriend was nice enough to buy to the foundation and concealer for me...too nice; I start my induction at Next in 2 hours and I haven't even showered yet.

bang, bang, bang




necklace - new look con/ top - topshop/ jeans - topshop/ faux fur - thrift/ boots - tesco

The top is all I got from the last Topshop, its khaki and comfortable. needs must. Plus i just couldn't find anything nice. This is a necklace i bought with all from the last post; it was only £2, ive been wearing it quite alot, it has black ribbons so its a bib necklace. I look crazy...

I took this last night before I went to see my boyfriend, and then go to the gym, im turning into a pudding. An actual pudding, so I'm trying to get fitter so I'm less pudding like. Which means more gymming and more walking and may even include a lower rate of consumption. I promise nothing.

So really I should have posted these last night but I went to bed at like 10. Yeah, I know. But whilst I'm writing this I really should be filling in personal details - I got a job at Next and this has to be in this morning;
finding suitable recipes - my boyfriend and I are cooking dinner for his parents tonights; locating room inspiration - my boyfriend moves into a house in 2 weeks times, so we are decorating and going to Ikea this afternoon. All in the next hour, excuse the pun.

enjoy your day

losing control...






earrings - vintage £1/ ring - new look con£1/ earrings - tammygirl £1/ necklace - new look con £2

Finally a post ! just wanted to show you all jewellery this week. Sometimes I look boring so jewellery is key. It is imperative I buy it cheap, because I look everything! This were all bought on sale. I bought the past week. I seem to be in love with crosses at the moment and silver.
The necklace reminds me of prada glory..

I finally got my hair done again, apologies it looks crap, I haven't straightened my leave out, i rarely do. Heat = hair damage, im giving in to the hype.

Last night I went to a frock swap at an old people's home with my bf's mum, it was good I went with 5 items and came back with 11 but I'll update on some of those later. The earrings are from there and i fell in love, they are glorious tacky and the blue beads and silver marry perfectly. The cardigan is from there to, its a warm aubergine and matches my nail colour.... which is only on one hand..
