Outfit:
Cream lace dress: Primark

Leopard print faux fur coat: Next

Black tights: Primark

Vintage black Kelly bag: Car boot

Black faux suede wedges: New Look

Statement pearl ring: Topshop

Glitter red nail varnish: Barry M


Excuse my super dry hands, no hand cream seems to work! They always look red raw! I wanted to get a close up of my ring!

I am off to a family party in Norfolk tonight, always like a good knees up! They are all nutters! My poor dad though has to do a 5 hour round trip tonight as we cant stay over. Would not want to be in his shoes!

I love love love this coat! I cannot believe this is the first time I have worn. I got it for my birthday back in January. It was only £25 in the next sale! Working there does have its perks! I managed to score the Kelly bag at a car boot last Sunday, Oh how I love the season has started again! I am gutted I missed out on two jumbles today because I have to work :( The dress is one of my new favourites too, brought it a few weeks ago. I dont think it looks Primark at all! I am so happy I can use heated rollers again! I had all my hair cut off last summer. It went from waist length to just above my shoulders. Whenever I tried to curl it, it just looked awful. Thankfully it has grown!

I feel like I am the walking dead. So so tired. The sale always kills me! I did a 1-9 on Friday, a 7-1.30 today and I did a 1-7 tomorrow. I also have work tomorrow. Ugh I am thinking of all the money though! I really do need to start saving for a holiday!


Hope you all have a lovely weekend whatever you may do!


I have recently got a formspring, so if anyone has any questions hit me up!

Friday = Payday

Today was payday and I decided to treat myself to a few things. I did quite a few hours of overtime last month so could afford to have a mini splurge. I spent a small fortune in boots, I really dont know how. I didn't even get that much! I finally invested in a pink lipstick by Barry M. I am still not sure it suits me but I am going to try it on with an outfit rather than PJs! I brought myself a pretty glittery nail varnish, also Barry M. It was two for £5 so I got one for my giveaway once I reach 100 followers. Not long now! The rest were just essentials that I had run out of!


I made a quick detour to Primark and again spent a small fortune. It was an accident honest! I had been eyeing this satchal up for ages and decided just to take the plunge, I think it will be great for the summer. Such a lovely colour! I stocked up on some tights that I had laddered, looking forward to makeing some outfits with these. Finally I saw two pretty rings that I needed to add to my collection!

I brought some spotted palazzo trousers. Onl £14, such a bargain! I cannot remeber the last time I have ever brought trousers. I managed to fit in these and think they draw much unwanted attention to my hips. But I have decided to listen to my parents who say they look nice so I am keeping them. I think im going to pair them with a nice white vest top and white wedges. My mum reckons I should wear flats but im not too sure.
I am umming and ahhhing about this dress. I only had time to go into one charity shop this morning and brought this dress and the skirt below. Its got a little hole in the elasticated waistband but this can be easily sewn up. It has a huge spilt up the back and my bum can be seen. Not a pretty sight. I dont know wether to sew it up, anyone know if this lasts or will I have to keep doing it? Or if I should put it on ebay? I do really like the dress and it would be perfect if it did not have the spilt. My fault for not checking it over properly!
Finally my lovely skirt! Its so summery and I can see myself come June in white esperdrilles and a white vest top sunning myself in the park! It is quite high waisted which isn't too much of a problem. Just means I won't be able to have a huge dinner!I am shattered, just come in from a 1-9 shift and have to be back in again for 7am. The joy. I think I am going to sleep like a baby tonight.

Hope everyone is well!

I swear it one day we'll gonna leave this town


Outfit:
Beach print dress: Primark
Crochet cream long cardigan: Topshop
Grey tights: Mums drawer
Grey pumps: Primark
Cream statement ring: Primark

I am not in my bedroom taking pictures! As it was such a lovely day, I walked to Uni with no coat on, I begged the mother to take pictures of me in the garden. I love just wearing a cardigan!

This was the one dress in the Primark S/S 11 lookbook that I just had to have. I remember lusting over the Prada versions a while back, Carey Milligan had one. So when I spotted this it was a must buy! It is quite short so it will have be a dress only worn with tights. I won't be able to wear it in the summer. Im not sure I like my hair straight, usually I tie it up in a bun when its half dry to increase my natural waves. It just seems to lack volume. I have tried to backcomb it a bit at the roots but it still looks limp to me.

I am off round my boyfriends dads girlfriends house for dinner tonight. Boy that was a bit of a mouthful eh? I have never been round there before but my boyfriend says its massive and she has an all important games room. Exciting stuff! I love having a nosy round someones house! Anyone else the same?

Off to see Cage the Elephant tomorrow at the Electric Ballroom. I saw them at Reading in 2008 and they were crazy to say the least! The lead singer had a pink tutu on swigging from a bottle of Jager so hopefully it will more of the same tomorrow ha!
