Lookie what I found in the SALES!

So i saw the Newlook sale online and thought it looked rather good, however i am a very impatient person and hate waiting for clothes to be delivered, so i made an extra special trip into to town today to check it out and boy was it worth it!! 

Now of course all of these items are necessities so i don't feel too bad spending £60 that i dont have :P 

It was all arranged so neatly and the shop was fairly empty so it was heaven! By the time i'd picked everything out i wanted, my arms felt like they had done a full on work out and i had my mum carrying half the stuff! 

However these were the finalists:

First up we have this wonderful little charcoal crop top with a zip down the front. Now i rarely wear grey but at £6 i could hardly say no and it fits like a glove, so it looks like ill be adding a new colour to my wardrobe :) 

Now i know it is ridiculously easy to make your own tie dye leggings but these were £4 and the perfect pattern so i thought what the hell! Unfortunately they are rather see through, a flaw i find in quite a lot of Newlook leggings, but there are ways to get round that i spose :) 

This next purchase was purely because i NEED more T-shirts and with the sleeves rolled up, tucked into shorts or jeans it will make the perfect casual outfit. This is however, the third item of clothing i have now with a giant paisley skull on the front, just cant get enough of the grunge! glad skulls are in fashion :) 

Now this is a bit personal, but i HATE wearing bras! They are just sooo annoying! However i am a fan of unpadded bra-lets and i found these beauts at the back of the store. Super comfy, lace and neon, my three favourite things and only £2 each! 

This was the most expensive item i brought today at a whooping £10! :P I've been wanting a denim jacket/waistcoat for a while now, but i already have a light denim jacket from FCUK so i wanted it to be different. This is where this gem comes in. Newlook have done it in a range of colours and patterns all of which are beautiful but i choses this sweet colour because it fits best with my wardrobe. Although saying that i am having a little but of trouble deciding what to wear it with but im sure i'll find something :) 

When i saw this i couldn't believe how cheap it was: £8! Beautiful electric blue dress, on trend asymmetric cut, perfect with wedges to wear at the next sophisticated party i go to! Super happy with this purchase! 

I wasn't 100% about this little crop top at first but after trying it on, it fitting perfectly and it only being £5 it would have been rude to say no! I dont really know why it crossed my mind to say no in the first place, i love crop tops and have so many like this, but this is the most standy out pattern i have and i love it! It will be great with high waisted denim shorts on a night out, looking forward to wearing it :) 

Lastly i have these eye catching jeans for £7! I would just like to congratulate Newlook on finally having jeans that fit me in length PERFECTLY! I'm 5'1 and sooo fed up of rolling over the bottom of trousers but yay i dont have to do that with these :) I love the pattern too, it's something that you wouldn't normally find on jeans, more like leggings. Can't wait to rock them out with the new creepers i plan to purchase and a plain white tee! 

Well done New Look on your epic sale :) 

Watch this space for how i put these beauts into outfits!

Peace Out

Cuffs, Chains and Dangly Bits

Chains dangling off various parts of the body are proving to be extremely popular this season (yes of course i've jumped on the band wagon), but what are people thinking of Topshop's latest craze: The spike chain nose cuff?

I have to say its one thing having chains and dangly bits hanging from your ears, i mean its what ears are there for, but having 5 spikes draped across your face...im not too sure. I have an idea that it would feel like you permanently had a hair across your face and you'd just keep wiping it away! 

Although saying this i know in a few weeks i will prove to be a massive hypocrite because im so curious im likely to end up buying one! 

Here it does look delicate and pretty i have to say!

What do you guys think on the whole situation? If any of you own one please post a pic :) 

Next i move onto the Cuff to lobe chain :) This delicate little beaut is from Newlook at a wonderful £4! Ear cuffs have become a must have fashion accessory in the last few months with trend setters like Topshop and Misselfridge sporting many styles and designs. I have to say i was a wee bit behind on this craze as i have a cartilage piercing in both ears and thought i'd look weird(er than usual). But as usual i caved when i saw this gem! I think it was the cross stud that sold it. Crosses have become one of the must have patterns of the season and accessories are catching on to it! 

This actually came as a pair and looks bangin' wearing both or just one! 

Something i feel that hasn't caught on as well as the cuff is the 'behind the ear cuff'. I brought this months ago, saw it on eBay and fell in love! Its a great accessory, really delicate and looks beautiful, although some friends were like WTF! But what do they know! 

There is however one massive design flaw to the 'behind the ear cuff'...On the most part the cuffs are all the same size on any style you have, one size fits all. Except one size doesn't fit all if, like me, you have fairly small ears. You'll find the bottom part of the cuff, that is supposed to be tucked away behind the ear, will be on show thus not giving the mysterious desired affect. It also slips off the back of my ear so i have to make-shift fasten it to my front lobe hole with a stud. I'd recommend if you are going to get one of these that you go to a shop and try it on and not buy it off eBay like me!

However much i have just complained about it though I LOVE IT! Just wish i was normal and had bigger ear!

Little Bitty Pretty One

So yesterday I went shopping... It was HELL! There was a sale here, there and everywhere! But alas I have no money! For a shopaholic like myself it was like having tequila without salt! I did however manage to pick up one little gem from the rather good Republic sale. It was like a rat race trying to get to my size before everyone else!
This wonderful little coral crop top/Bralet is perfect for this summer weather we are supposed to be having HA!

For that fifties summer fun look I have paired it with my last summer New Look high waisted shorts. Complete the look with a headscarf maybe and some pumps and you'll be straight back to that rockin era.
I think this outfit has changed me last night I spent my time downloading 50's/60's music! God Golly Miss Molly!

Gone to the beach BRB!

Soooooo today was sunny! Yay!

I recently bought a gorgeous burgundy maxi skirt from,yes you guessed it, New Look, and saw this beautiful weather as a chance to show it off!

Normally I can't really get away with maxi skirts as I am 5ft 1 and they draaaaag on the floor behind me :( but this one is THE perfect length! And I must say I got many a compliment :)

Not only do I like to buy clothes I also make and design them :) I teamed this beaut with a plain white crop top I made :)

Baggy crop tops with tight high waisted skirts is a great way to show off your tiny waist.

So get on it girls!

Garden Party Pastel's

So New Look had a sale the other day, naturally I went and raided the shop for the bargains and picked out this little gem! Pretty pastel, slight animal print dress perfect for a garden party I have coming up!

Pastels are soooo in this season, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to them off though, as I'm ginger and therefore have vampire like skin :/ but I don't think it washes me out too much so now I can look bang on trend at this fancy do of mine! 

WOOP WOOP x

I want to be in America!

Stars and stripes are hitting the UK this season!

I got these bad boys from New Look (you will notice throughout this blog that a lot of my stuff is from new look, this is cos where I live it's the main high street shop SIGH ) £22 worth it to add to my draw that is solely for shorts (yes I have a problem!)

I decided to pair these with my four year old clothes show tshirt which I love! Sleeves rolled up obviously to complete the look!

Peace Out x

My that's so STRIPING!

So stripes are in, everyone knows this but what type are you going for? Thick, thin, horizontal,vertical? So much choice! Well I chose these beauties from the one and only NewLook!

Even though everybody is loving these sliming stripes I've heard a lot of peeps say they don't know what to pair them with :/

Well here is my solution... The age old denim shirt! Casual or dress up, your choice but I think it works what do you think?
