bed jacket - thrift/ top - topshop/ ring - next/ creepalairs - thrift


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.

hat



h&m

This is what at currently gracing my head day in day out. it is pretty much perfect. Although back when I was in London me and Sian did have a discussing abut being brown and wearing brown things, because you can look like a chocolate stick. call it throwing caution to the wind

bra/top -h&m

neon pink under sheer/fishtail

I've been thinking about recently about fashion and style the difference between the two and how I can tell. I think its important to have your own sense of self when it comes to fashion, otherwise the high street will eat you up with the must haves; you'll become a yuppie of the blogging world. So when I got out shopping I have a clear goal in my mind. I know my style; I know what works what doesn't, what I want to look like. Best sellers don't matter to me.

At that topic I'm currently compling my s/s wardrobe, I'll give you a clue. There shall be no 70's/ditsy/nautical print of any vibe. We'll move on from there.

turban = ebay/ shirt - thrift/ shorts - h&m(new)/ ring - primark


Well I've got a couple days of work, which means I have tasks to do! which include but are not limited too; tidying my room, ebaying, returning clothes, painting nails, washing my hair, baking goods, doing my eyebrows amongst others. So you can tell I've got a [pretty busy week....lolz. No really I miss my friends they are all about travelling. However I am planning to go interrailing in the summer so watch this space.

I've had it up to hear with this crappy camera. For reference I am an nw45, i look so washed out and grey, why are my golden undertones?... ahah! lost out on an 1000d to by £5 on ebay this morning and as my twitter will demonstrate I had rage!

So amongst my jobs, I will be trying to blog alot more. I always read blogs but I barely ever comments, So ill will hopefully try to that a bit more. Link me to some new blogs...

neither particularly appeals to me.





Photobucket
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

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..

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.

winter winds






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.

typical me, typical me, I started something..



sequin top - ebay/ faux leather - ebay

I'm thinking I really need to use my twitter it'll be my outlet of blitherings. last week I was so angry (actual rage) because I missed out on a gorgeous sequin top from topshop, by 50p! in the last 20 seconds, but I didn't let it deter mine, and went ebaying about, and found this but now I must top and faux leather. For now I must dash...

- more posts to come in the following days; work permitting.
