Christmas Owl!!

Sorry it has been so long since my last post! I'm sure its the same for everyone with Christmas to prepare for! I had a fairly festive and creative Sunday and managed to make an owl cushion for my sister! What do you think?

It was so easy to do and I think it looks just as good as the shop bought ones (and much cheaper). All I did was cut out a template of an owl (you could do any shape you wanted!) and then cut out the pieces of fabric and hand-stitched the smaller details on the front. I then used the sewing machine to do the rest and added stuffing!! Perfect and a great Christmas pressie idea. My mum made smaller versions in the shape of birds and hearts and they are now on our Christmas tree!! Very creative for a rainy sunday afternoon.

Fur sure!!

I seem to have neglected this a little lately but I have been trying to save the pennies for xmas presents as its getting so close!!! I can't wait!! I'd like to tell you everything I have bought but it'll have to wait until xmas day!!
I can tell you about the most amazing thing I have bought in a long while- My faux fur gilet!!! Faux fur all the way! and it looks soo good! I cant wait for the weekend so I can wear it. It was a bargain too, was £60 from River Island and is now down to £30!!! I had to have it- what do you think???

I also bought an amazing leather jacket- I had been wanting one for ages and looked everywhereeee!! Turns out, the best one I found was from Primark and only £20!!! Such a bargain and looks so much more expensive!!! At this time of year its all about the bargains!! :)

Sweet Dreams...

So, I have been diagnosed with Laryngitis and while I spend my time drinking lots of tea and wrapping up warm watching TV, it has obviously affected me that I haven't been able to shop for a very long time - (at least 4days!!!) Last night I had the greatest dream that I went on a massive shopping spree and luckily I could remember exactly what I snapped up- here are a few... I hope it comes true this weekend!

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...
