Guilty Pleasures...

 Hey guys

thought I’ll post something quickly before heading out. Yesterday turnt from paying a bill to going shopping and ending up with bags!! NIGHTMARES sometimes especially as I know money is tight untill the end of this week!! That’s where my guilty pleasure lies!! I went to 2 shops yesterday Primark and Topshop, and at the end of it ended up walking away with 2 full bags and the pleasure of being a Topshop Credit Card holder!!

The 1st stop was Primark. With intentions of only buying some tights that I need I ended up with a cute pair of wedge booties and some feather earrings!(and still no tights) I also saw this amazing grey leather messenger bag but thought if I had picked that up that would have been the start of picking everything else up so I just went with the shoes (that I found in the sale) and the earrings (I got this thing for feather earrings these days)

 Tan Wedge Booties £8 from £14

Cream Feather Earings £2

Walking on the way to Topshop I had a quick stop in Superdrug where I found these Cute Pinks from the Make-Up stall MUA!! Only a £1, yes I know what you’re thinking but I’m experimenting with the whole make up thing and they are great!! Only thing is it does stain the lips slightly all depending on how rich you want the colour to sit on your lips.

MUA Shade 3 & Shade 4- £1

Now this is where the trouble or should I say "fun" begins! Walked into Topshop went straight for the accessories! Found this amazing necklace, well amazing to me! with that found this blue simple chiffon shirt with cream spots only in a size 16, looked overly big for the style, wanting the shirt I put my fashion and styling skills to the test, knowing that I’m short I’ll wear the shirt like a dress with a belt and some tights bada bing bada boom! Wouldn’t of taken a mastermind to style that up lol but I grabbed the shirt anyway and that’s how I’ll wear it! Then found my way downstairs in the small store in Strand looking at more accessories when I found the earrings I’ve been looking for, for sooo long, Triangle gold studs! I could go on with the list and the amount of things I was picking up but I’ll show you pictures of my Topshop collections:

 Peacock Feather Necklace- £12.50

Triangle Studs- £7.50

Tights- £8

Bag- £40

Purse- £18

 OMG T-Shirt- £22

Chiffon Polka Dot Shirt- £32

And with that ended up buying everything on my new Topshop Credit card that I Signed up for!! As a 1st time buyer with the card they did give me 15% off my purchase! So that’s my latest buy guys, my guilty Pleasures of the week!

Love and Pink Kisses

A Day of Many...

Morning Breaker...

Hey guys,

Today hasn't been the best week for me at all, I feel that I’ve received one bad news after the other and on top of that my laptop won't turn on! ANGER STRIKES!! I’m soooo frustrated with the damn thing! So I guess I’ll be trying to get some overtime at work to save up enough money to get a new laptop if I can't get my other one fixed!

Today has been a little dark for me, stressed isn't the word to describe how I’ve been feeling this week but I’ve always had this thing about me to not think about the stressful stuff and stay happy and positive but that’s a lot of years of backed up emotions and yesterday I think I hit the peak! Being strong is usually my strong point but I felt as I’ve come to the end of the road! This morning I woke up feeling slightly better and a little stronger and with and with this decided to be strong for me as well as my friends, family and supporters.

Wasn't really in the mood today to do that whole dress up fiasco (due to my mood also) so I went for the black on black look! Yes I did all black today but decided at the last minute to chuck in a denim shirt (It was a little cold outside today and I need that extra layer so let’s call it a part black outfit). Played around with my camera on my iPhone today and downloaded this really cool photography app and have had a field day with all the filters and styles of classic effects, so don't be surprised if most of the photos that I upload from now on have that classic, vintage looking effect on them lol. Well here are a few pics that I took today! Hope you enjoy!! Will blog about something more uplifting soon sorry guys just one of those days! = (

Will you be my Valentines??!!

Hey Everyone HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!! 

Since today is the day of love, I thought to do a post of five cute outfits for Valentines. Now it’s nothing special I just thought mmmmm 5 simple outfits that’s easy to accessorise and create.

So I went through my rail of clothes (Soooo needs to be updated) and selected just a few simple silhouettes, 2 skirts, 2 tops, 2 Dresses and 1 jumpsuit, and a few accessories at random. I decided to select one pair of shoes for all of the outfits, much easier and these were the shoes I felt like dressing up in = ). Now for my favourite part dressing up!! lol

Shoes Of the Week...

Just a Quick post to show you my latest buy of the week, well last week. I shopped on H&M online and had had a change of mind about a few things when they came in the post and tried them on!! So I decided to take the reject stuff back and with that found a wonderful pair of shoes...

Yes ladies, these bad boys! They are the most comfortable pair of shoes since my feet had discovered the wedge and I’m in love with the style and the colour. It’s simple and has one of the trends this SS “The Tassels”, Not the obvious bulk ones but a flat trim! It’s not on their website but in store, where there was a lot more selection and I'm glad I found them!! YAAAAAAAAAY SHOES!!!

Take me Home...

Yesterday was a good, Spontaneous day for my best friend Jade and I (My fashion Idol). With me feeling a little low, we decided to eat my sorrows away. Now I’m not the smallest of girls at all, but hey I was feeling in that kind of eating mood.

Yep, you guessed it we hit TGI Fridays on a Monday evening with the boyfriends! We called it a Pre-Birthday start for Jades Birthday coming up on 9th Feb!! Woop Woop!! lol
Earlier on that day I had created another styling set with more of a romantic feel, and ended up slightly dressing myself  with the same soft romantic touch, then meeting up with jade she had the same type of styling idea without a phone call confirmation of what she was wearing that day!

Ok so it’s not exactly the same but I thought it had the same feel and similar textures. Anyway, I called my set “Take me home” as it reminded me of a stylish traveller and the way I was feeling I kind of felt the same!

So that was my Monday. That was one of the best Monday's I've had in ages. Thanks Jade, Thanks Guys Love you all!! xxx

Love and Pink Kisses
