Monday buys...

So, Its Monday evening- very depressing after my last post was Thursday night! I had a lovely weekend in Bournemouth although I was ill for half of it so I had to make the most of what I could. My boyfriend and I went to an amazing place called Aruba. They do the most amazing food and cocktails!! If you are ever in Bournemouth you have to check it out!
So, as it was a depressing Monday morning I had to go into town on my lunch break and make a quick stop off at Primark. I think I controlled myself and only bought 2 cardigans and a tshirt!! I think that's pretty good going! I got a mustard cardigan and a wine coloured cardigan. They will both be great for work and for play :) They also had some amazing colour block heels that I was very tempted to get but I have made a pact with myself to not buy any shoes this month!!! I need to stay off the shoes for a little while!

They did some amazing chunky knits in there too, £12 for a chunky knit cardi and £10 for a chunky knit jumper!! They looked soooo cosy but I'm planning on getting my mum to knit me one as shes taken up the hobby!! She's so good at it but I just can't get to grips with so I think I'll leave that to mum! She made this cute jumper for my nephew... 

...its a shame she used the wrong sized needles and is now for his teddy rather than him!!!

Get ready for the weekend...

It's Friday tomorrow so I'm in a very good mood!! I've had a busy week at work and I get to see my boyfriend in Bournemouth at the weekend so I couldn't be happier!!

It was also payday this week so I bought the amazing red playsuit  and the black and white playsuit from Boohoo in my last post!!! Hopefully they will arrive soon and I can see if they are as amazing as they look on the web!

I also tried a new fake tan this week...Garnier Ambre Solaire- no streaks bronzer dry body mist. I got it in colour medium as I prefer a darker more noticable tan. I actually really liked the product, It has a really natural colour to it but I did miss a few spots as it is a clear spray so it is hard to see where you have missed or where you may have put too much on!! I have tried to even it out tonight so I will let you know how it turns out!!

I've also done my nails and had my eyelash extensions done- I have to be looking great for the weekend!!

I tried the Barry M Instant Nail Effects nail varnish in black over the top of a Barry M Mushroom colour nail varnish! I think it looks great, almost like an animal print- let me know what you think?....

                

I also had my eyelashes done- I do it every month! I can't live without them now! It's so addictive having such long thick lashes that when they start to disappear I can't help but get them done again. And at £15 a time I think its worth every penny!! I go to a woman who works from home, it's definitely worth checking out in your local area as salon prices can be so expensive!!! And I haven't bought a new mascara for months so I think it's totally worth it, what do you recon??

Lunchtime treats

I'm just on my lunchbreak at work so this will be a short post! I always browse the internet when I can to check out the latest trends I want to get with my next pay packet and I have found my next buy...

I saw this on an advert and knew it was a must have!! And its only £20!!! I love it in the red so I think I'll be brave and go for it! I absolutely love it in the black so who knows, if the red is as good as it looks on the web I may have to invest in that too! This is from http://www.boohoo.co.uk/ . I am loving this website at the moment, although some stuff is a bit naff and can look quite cheap, a lot of their stuff is amazing and looks much more expensive for a fraction of the price!! Check out these amazing items that will be following this playsuit soon...

 

Urban Outfitters

I owe this next post to my sister as she pointed out the amazing homeware that Urban Outfitters have!! I have always loved their clothes and accessories and now bedding is being added to the list! Check these fun prints and amazing moustache designs...Thanks sis!!

Primark Passion

Wow- I'm on a blogging roll today! and as it gets closer to payday my spends are starting to dwindle so thank god for Primark to keep me up to date!! They have some amazing items that are always a bargain! I love this tassled bag from Primark and the tassled boots- perfect for winter! (as you can tell, im loving my tassles at the moment) 

And I love these jackets, This green jacket is so similar to the Gucci version- amazing!! And I can't wait to get my hands on this tweed jacket! At only £23 its an absolute must!!!

Kelly's got the X Factor!

I am a huge fan of Xfactor and I love the new judges!! I've always been a secret N Dubz fan and Kelly Rowland always wears the best outfits!! Last night She wore an amazing yellow dress from the Victoria Beckham collection and I loved how she teamed it up with some bright blue courts! And, whats more amazing- you can get a much cheaper version at Dorothy Perkins for £50!!! Lets brighten up this autumn...

Well, seeing as this is my first ever post I thought I should show you all my favourite things!!! I recently stumbled across an amazing site called http://www.polyvore.com/ I think I've been a bit slow to find this but now I have- I am addicted!!! Great way to show off outfits and ideas and see others at the same time! Below is my first and favourite...

Nude/Pewter by elle-smith89 featuring nude heels
I love love love Paris Hilton and anything pretty in pink so it felt appropriate to show off this as my first OOTD (outfit of the day). I love the contrast of the ditsy nude colours with the harshness of the pewter accessories! And those Jimmy Choo shoes- to die for!!!
