The story of a girl who lives above her means

Santa baby

I'd like to find these under my tree on Christmas morning. Of course they are all overpriced and my chances of owning anything are slim to none. But you never know I may grab them in the sales.

Asos Pepper Platform Peep Toe Mary Jane Shoes - £50

Glitter shoes. Need I say more?

Leopard Contrast Collar Coat - £75

Yeah I know I already have a leopard print coat but I don't have one with a black collar. I am going to try and hunt this baby down in the sales.

Velvet Halter Dress: £68

I am a sucker for velvet. And this dress is mustard. Complete win in my eyes.

Asos dress with Embellished Collar Skater - £65

I spotted this dress in the Asos magazine that gets sent to my house to taunt me. I have lusted over it ever since.

When I hear those drums late at night I know i'm in love

Outfit:
Multi-coloured aztec long cardigan: Primark
Wine coloured skinny jeans: Primark
Black long vest top: H&M
Nude coloured bow loafers: Primark

Gold coloured ball necklace: Topshop

I am the first to admit that I am not a jean person. I get depressed when they don't fit and I feel like they draw attention to the old child bearing hips. But I was so desperate to jump on the coloured jeans wagon that I threw caution to the wind! I would never wear these with a short top and a long cardigan is a must. Just as well I spotted this beauty in the shopping mecca. It is so warm and cosy, adding a much needed brightness to the day. How depressing that it was dark about 3.45 eh? Not the most exciting of outfit but it kept me very warm today!

On another note how red do my lips look? Maybe need to stay off the Benetint....

I am off round my boyfriend's house as his sister is cooking the family dinner tonight. If I get food posioning it has been lovely knowing you! Haha jokes, just kidding Leone :) Hope you all have a lovely evening whatever you do. Especially you Hannah, sorry I am so rubbish with money that I couldn't make tonight :(

As always come chat to me on Twitter, I don't bite!

F&F at Tesco Spring/Summer '12 preview

Last week I was lucky enough to be invited to the Tesco bloggers evening where I got to have another natter with the gorgeous Sarah, Sarah, Hannah and Lily. I also got to meet Kat, Emma Lizzy and Jazmine for the first time who are lovely in real life!

I trotted off to Waterloo to the amazing OXO2 dragging my boyfriends sister along as my plus one, too be fair she didn't take much persuasion! The evening consisting of making funny faces in the photobooth, attacking the Stylist man for Topshop vouchers, chasing the waitress around to nab some fish and chips, becoming part of the blue ring club after finding one in a cracker, lusting over gorgeous summer clothes and making the most of the champange. So as you can probably tell, it was a wonderful evening!

Oh the clothes! They were gorgeous! I fell completely head over heels for this cream lace mid dress. It was completely beautiful and felt like it had my name written all over it. I cannot wait for it to hit the stores.

How pretty is this floral maxi skirt? Who would have guessed that you could pick up something as amazing as this in your weekly shop. It will be perfect to take on holiday with a simple vest top and a pair of gold sandals.

I also fell in love with this bright pink bag. It is the perfect size to carry all my junk around and add a pop of colour to any outfit.

I am so pleased to find that midi skirts will be bang on trend again come the summer months. They are the perfect length for work. I love the colour of this green pleated skirt, isn't it lovely?

I love the frills around the neckline on this navy and white polka dot jumpsuit. It helps to add a little extra. Again this would be perfect in the summer months with a pair of sandals and a white shawl for when it gets a bit chilly.
