< Hey spike >

So yesterday i bought these cute little fake leather, brogue boots from the 'Hiper Asia' super market (yes that is what its called.) for €8.. yet another bargain from Spain. They also had them in beige and brown but black is making a significant appearance in my wardrobe recently so i went with these beauts.

I mainly bought them, not just because they look fly, but in preparation for the dingy, wet english weather when i get back. My toes have too many a time fallen victim to soggy pumps! I reckon these should hold up! 

The other teeny tiny reason that i bought them is the fact that when i get home i intend to studify EVERYTHING! and i shall be starting with these, along the lines of something like this!:

EEEEEE can't wait! 

Anyone know where i can get lots of cheap studs?!?

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!

And to complete the outfit... EARRINGS.

If any of you read my very first post you will have noticed I have a wide variety of accessories to complete the look on any outfit!
As you know (if you're a regular reader...if not then why not?!?) I do love my body chains, however I also have a passion for earrings! With eight holes in my ears I have to fill them with something exciting!
This summer it's all about danglies!

For the punk rocker in you I have these awesome spike hoops from Topshop. Studs and spikes have been very popular this year with celebs like Rihanna and Lady GaGa sporting them regularly. (naturally I've started studding EVERYTHING).

These next ones are big and beautiful but not gonna lie you can here me coming from a mile off with the jangle they make! They are perfect for a night out as they go with anything and everything. (and you can't here the jangle over the music!)

Accessorize are renowned for having exquisite taste in earrings (well accessories are what they special in) I got these gems for my twentieth birthday (of course I picked them out).
Again they go with anything but are perfect if your going for that Navajo look!

You know those earrings you have that you just through on because they are simple, easy and go with anything? Well these are those...need I say more?

Primark! Yes primark is where I grabbed these bargains at a pound! Great if you want to make a plain outfit look more exciting! Block colours go particularly well as it makes them stand out more! My favourites!

These are my beach earrings. Bang on trend for this summer, again another Primark bargain. They are beautiful, elegant and go with anything, especially a bikini :)

Boho chick? You want these! Stretching all the way down to your collar bone, they dangle beautifully and are a subtle enhancer to a casual outfit. Also look bangin' if you have long hair as they just tie in with your lovely locks! Also nice to wear one at a time, a big trend that hit last summer that I still do on the odd occasion :)

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!

Pretty woman.

This season Cut Out and Tie knot dresses are very much in, it's all about showing your midriff! As much as I adore this style, does anyone fell like it's slightly inspired by the Julia Roberts film Pretty Woman? You know when she wears that cut out dress as a hooker?! LOL
Doesn't bother me just sayin! :)

So as its in trend I of course had to get myself an item! This beaut is from Miss Selfridge and I adoreeee it! Haven't experimented too much yet with what I could wear it with but I'll keep ya posted!

Xx

Don't you agree???

Furrenough!

So I did a shoot for my dear friend Ali who is an awesome photographer!

Check out her stuff:

Slightly out of season but with the brisk winds of Cornwall and April showers I'm deff still wearing this beaut!

This is my all time best bargain... £2 from a carboot! Read and weep!

Unfortunately no idea what make it is but by the style of the lining and hook and eyes I would say it is fairly old

Fur is IN and for me always will be, it goes with anything and everything and is definitely a time honoured classic to have in your wardrobe!
