Fantastic finds...check these beauties out!!!

WOW- I couldn't wait to tell you all about the amazing finds at Primark this week! I love this bird print blouse and the bow detail around the collar- looks much more expensive then £12, I actually saw a similar version on asos for £35!!

Then my next amazing find was this designer-look-a-likey for a fraction of the cost- £5!!!! I absolutely love it!! Great for work and play, team it with some amazing high heels and leather jacket for a night out or tights and a cardi for work, like I did today!

I can't believe I found my dream playsuit for only £5!!!!

And finally, this amazing Alexander Mcqueen copycat at only £3 you can't go wrong!!

I have to say these amazing finds were all in Primark in Bournemouth which has some great things- my local Primark in Torquay- not so much!! I guess if you live in a small town like me you may have to dig a little deeper to find these amazing bargains!!!


On another note I'm also trying out Barry M's instant spray tan so i will let you know how I get on- so far it has a great colour but it is hard getting used to the spray so you'll definitely need a mit to even that out if your not so used to the spray tan!!!

Shellac Nails- AMAZING!!

Check out the newest thing to nails- Shellac!!! These amazing polishes last for weeks completely chip free- (be warned you can't mix these with any other base/top coats, or coloured polishes as it will compromise the quality). These have won many awards including Nail's Magazine best new product 2010! (I see I'm a little slow to discover this product) A woman I work with has just had hers done and they look amazing- I'm going to check them out in 2 weeks time and see if they really are chip-free!!! If they are, I'll be paying the small price of £20 to get them for sure!!! I would just have to decide what colour to have- I am loving Zillionaire, Decadence and Tropix for summer!!

Cocktails, Ed Sheeran, Portobello Market and plenty of shoes...

This time last week I was screaming my head off, a little tipsy with my big sis, watching Ed Sheeran at Brixton O2 Academy! We had such an amazing weekend- starting with...a Nandos of course!!! We were staying Covent Garden so it was an ideal location, such nice shops. We headed to Foundation cocktail bar which does the most amazing cocktails with a real 'Alice in wonderland' twist- which I of course loved!!!! The cocktails come in a variety of ways- jam jars, teapots, even some with popping candy! Definitely a place to check out if you get chance...

Then we went to see the amazing Ed Sheeran who was just as good as we expected... he also had some amazing support acts, in particular we loved the a guy called Lester Clayton.
Then we popped to Portobello Market on Saturday morning and could have spent allllll day there but we had to catch our train home :( We did get a little leather satchel bag each which I am in love with!!!

Then... I went shopping in my local town (which I have to say is usually pretty bad for fashion) and got the most amazing pair of shoes at a bargain price...

Red Court Shoe from New Look @ £19.99

Black Paris Hilton shoes @ £8.00- YES, THAT'S RIGHT!!!

And finally, amazing grey suede CARVELA court shoes- only £10!!!!!

I'll give you a little tip- head to TKMAXX nowwww!!!
HAPPY SHOPPING!!

Happy New Year....a little late!!

Happy New Year!! I know its pretty late now that we are nearly in Feb but I thought I had to say it!! It seems to have been mad since Xmas so I haven't had chance to update! I've bought lots of fashion items of late, but im still hunting for my one love...The peter pan collar blouse with black ribbon detail. Here are some styles I'm loving and on the hunt to find in store.

As you can see I'm liking a certain style but I cant quite find the right one, I think im going to have to get a plain white blouse with a peter pan collar, and a black piece of ribbon from the local material shop and then I can make it exactly how I want...at a fraction of the price!!
Homemade is always best!!

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!
