Hooray for Ebay!!

As it is getting closer to Christmas and those parties are coming up, I thought I would have a look on ebay to see if there were any shiny new dresses that I could buy. Ebay is great for getting designer and individual clothes for a fraction of the price! I had a gold sequin dress in mind but hadn't seen any in the shops that I liked. So Ebay came to the rescue and I came across an amazing gold sequin dress with beaded strap detail from Zara- and it was only on at £5.00!!! I couldn't believe my luck so, of course bidded straight away. As the closing time got nearer I had been outbid but I had decided to set myself a budget of £20- for a zara sequin dress I thought this was a bargain! So, as it counted down I waited until it had 1 minute 30 seconds left and upped my bid to £20!! It was a tense minute and half but as it counted down... I won!!!!! At only £16 I think this dress is a bargain- and its given me the push I need to sell some of my own dresses- Half of them I've either never worn or only worn once!!! So- check out www.ebay.co.uk for all your christmas presents and party needs and grab yourself a bargain!!!

(I have to apologize for the bad quality picture- my camera has broken so I have resorted to Blackberry!)

Shoes to die for!

I bought the most amazing shoes today at such a bargain price- only £18!!! I think they look fab, perfect for nights out and all those christmas do's coming up!! I had been looking at similar Kurt Geiger ones that were  5x the price! So, I couldn't believe my luck when I stumbled across these in MATALAN!! Amazing- I recommend you all to go out and get some of these gorgeous shoes...

Check out the glitter heels- AMAZE!!

They come in the most amazing packaging and you get four little boxes to suit your tastes and desires. You can even have them specially tailored to you if you want to loose weight or have more energy or have certain allergies.

Fabulous Fashion...

Vivienne Westwood

Another quick post today as I'm sat by the fire trying to keep warm! It was pretty cold at work today so I didn't venture out of the office- perfect for a bit of online shopping and getting ideas for my Christmas list. This post is dedicated purely to Vivienne Westwood!! I absolutely love her style and have found lots of things I want for Christmas on the website... Instead of me writing about them I'll let the products do the talking!

  

 

Ed's up!

Just a quick post today to give a heads up to Ed Sheeran's album '+'
It's such a good album, so chilled out and I love listening to it on the way to and from work :) I'm going to see him at Brixton Academy on the 20th January with my sis so that's going to be great- can't wait to hear him live, I hear he's amazing!!
My favourite tracks so far are Grade 8, Wake Me Up and Small Bump (and of course his released singes A Team and You Need Me, I don't Need You.) They all tell a story about his life and things that have happened to him.

His mum also does some amazing jewellery- really unique stuff seen on celebs like Jameela Jamil! Check it out on Ed Sheeran's website www.edsheeran.com 

Tanoholic...

Well, I have found the most amazing fake tan ever and I have to tell you all about it!!! Now, I'm a big fan of tan, in fact I don't go a day without wearing it these days. I would say Im a tanorexic but I don't take the term lightly so I'll let you make your own minds up.
I have very pale skin naturally so I think after all these years I have actually managed to stain my skin if that is even possible. I have tried St Tropez, Rimmel, California Tan, Ambre Solaire, Naturasun Tan, Fake Bake, all shops/supermarkets own brands and tinted moisturisers. I am a Rimmel Shimmer/Matte user at heart, always have, always will! It's perfect for nights out and if it goes wrong, you just wash it off and start again. But I have since found the best, natural tan I have ever used...and its only 99p!!!!

Yep, that's right- Expose is only 99p and can be found in the 99p store! This Fake tan is the best value for money- and for those of you who aren't used to tanning or want too much of a noticeable colour it is perfect. It is a mousse so very easy to apply and with each layer the colour gradually builds up, so you can make it as dark as you want. I found it much better than sprays I had used before as it was much easier to see if you missed a bit or not. I did have to use a tanning mit as I don't want to think what the consequences would have been if I hadn't so I would have to recommend that!
The only down side is the smell... it's got a very strange scent, nothing like any fake tan I have used before but with a shower it comes off- totally worth it in my mind! Give it a go and let me know what you think...

Dress to Impress

I had a few nights out this weekend, my friend was down from London and then it was my cousins 21st birthday so I knew I had to get something to wear for each night and dress to impress! I had been so disappointed with Boohoo- after my excitement in my previous post I have completely changed my mind. I ordered a few items from them, to be sent an email a week later saying my items were out of stock and I had been refunded. No mention before to see if I wanted to change my order in anyway, or even any mention when I ordered it in the first place! I emailed them many times to see if I could change my order at all but I am yet to have a response....so Boohoo have now gone on my black list! such a shame after the amazing things they had on there!!

So I had to think of a back up and quick- they had only left me with 3 days to get something! Thankfully www.missguided.co.uk came to the rescue! They had such lovely clothes and the most amazing dress I found that would be perfect for both work and nights out- and only £30- bargain! What do you guys think...

I love the colour of it, perfect for autumn/winter and I think it can definitely be worked in summer with some flowery/brighter accessories. So I feel this dress is an investment! And so flattering if you are having a fat day- covers up all the right places!
I also had a browse on the Miss Selfridge website in the sale- I found some lovely playsuits at only £17 and £18 each!! Such a bargain I couldn't say no. I ordered two, one floral number and another aztec print playsuit. Unfortunately the aztec playsuit was a little big so I'll be sending that one back. But what do you think to my floral playsuit...

Its such a pretty design and the cut out back is something a little different. I admit it is a bit summery- but with the lovely weather we just had it seemed a shame not to embrace it!!

The Big Mac

Sorry I have neglected this lately! I feel like I've been very busy lately and most importantly I was waiting for my amazing new macbook pro!!!! It is finally here and it is everything it is cracked up to be. So smart, looks amazing and has the best apps!! I can't wait to actually spend time looking through exactly what it can do!! I'm also in the process of downloading Skype so that I can chat away to my friends all over the place as a lot of them will be off travelling soon, so what a great way to stay in touch! I can also chat to my boyfriend while he's at uni- perfect!! I'll let you know exactly what great things it can do but right now I've got some serious catching up to do...look out for my next post any minute!
