Xmas and NYE Outfits + a few cheeky Primark Buys

Heyy Everyone...
OMG can you believe how close we are to Christmas Day, its coming so quick but I finally sighed the relief sigh of being all done with my present shopping but knowing me ill still carry on buying. 

So being the organised moe foe I am I have my outfits sorted for Christmas day and NYE all I need is my accessories. 


 So this is my dress for Christmas Day, I only really visit family on the day then back home and eat my body weight in food. I like to dress nice for the day but still be comfy and casual. 
This dress seemed perfect, a gorgeous colour with a lovely beaded collar but floaty so wont cling to my Christmas gut haha. 
I bought this dress from Peacocks for £25 so a great bargain. 
Ill wear black tights with it, and not sure on the shoes yet. 



This is my dress for NYE.... now im not really one for going out for new years. I hate how busy it is, cant get the bar cant get the toilet cant get taxis to get home and everything is four times more money. Gawddd I sound a right moaning minnie there. This year were going for a meal earlyish then back to my friends house for drinks and her house is walking distance so im happy about that, then see in the new year there. 
This dress is actually one my best bargains of the year, its from River Island so gorgeous quality dress and it was on sale. I got it for £30 and it was meant to be £50. 
Ive never wore a red dress before but I think because its such a classic shape I wont look trashy, it also has stunning bead detail on the shoulders. 
The shoes are another bargain from New Look, these were 50% off so I got them for £10, was over the moon with them. Dont you love how I worry about a red dress looking trashy then put leopard print heels with it, I guess ill never be the classic kind of dresser. 


Next up are two things I picked up from Primark. Ive wanted the Topshop 'geek' tshirt from the first time I saw it, because I actually get called a geek through my love of blogging and watching youtube, I then got put off it by the amount of people I seen wearing it. This 'nerd' top cost me £4.00 I couldnt pass it up. I got size M and it does look big but I wanted it roomy so I could wear it with leggings as well as tuck it into things. 
The next thing I got is just a little black swing skirt, I think with a pair of tights under it can go with so much dressy or casual. That cost £8.00. 

Soooo thats it for now, hope everyone is gooood and not getting too stressed with all the Christmas buzz, afterall it is the time to be jolly fra la la la la la la la laaaaaa.

Wedding OOTD and FOTD

Heyy Everyone...
As mentioned in my last post I attended my uncles wedding yesterday. The sun was shining and it was such a lovely special day. 
Weddings always have an affect on me, I love seeing a couple happy and smiling together, I also nearly shed a tear on the first dance because both of them were quite shy about getting up but seeing them hold eachother close and look into eachothers eyes was just magical. 

Anyway enough soppyness for now, the wedding was a late one so I was happy about that as it gave me enough time to get ready without rushing. 
I bought a dress from River Island but it was by a brand called Little Mistress. There was a few dresses in the range and they were all what you would class as party dresses, I tried on about 5 or 6 because I just couldn't choose. In the end I opted for a one shouldered creamy beige dress that had gorgeous bead and sequin detail round the waist. It cost me £45 and that's way more than id ever like to spend on a dress but I loved how it looked and with it being a special occasion I decided to go for it. I have another wedding on a different side of the family in October that I might wear it for but I don't know because ive been pictured in it now and everyone has seen... damn you facebook :P


My shoes were a cream pair ive had a while, they are high but because of the front platform and quite chunky heel they are comfy. 



Here are my blingin Swarovski nails, how fab are these? I felt like one of Thelmas Girls :P Could not stop looking at them. 

I bought this clutch out of River Island the same day I bought the dress. It cost £15.00. This bag is gorgeous and goes with the dress so nice but mannn did I struggle to fit all my necessary make up, phone and camera inside. 

The make up I chose to wear was exactly the same as in my last post except I threw on a pair of Katie Price lashes in 'wild' incase your interested. Oh and the earrings are from Ebay and cost £9.99. 

So thats what I wore, hope you like it. 

If anyone is interested I bought a set of Foxy Locks extensions, they are the Deluxe ones 160 grams of hair, in shade 60 Light ash blonde. When they arrived I seen they didn't match my hair perfect but I thought I would get them dyed. Ive now decided im not going to bother but because ive removed them from their packaging they cant be returned. 
They cost me £74.00 and have never been worn or even put in my hair, they are also currently out of stock on the website. 
I will sell them for £60 plus P&P of £3.00, and will require payment through paypal or a bank transfer. If your interested let me know. If your in the Liverpool area your more than welcome to come and pick them up. Great bargain to be had.

Heyy Everyone, 
How you all been? Im sat in bed now not feeling too clever, was out last night so im a little worse for wear. 


I bought some shoes off Ebay, and ive had mixed responses about them. I personally LOVE them, but tell me what you think. 


They cost £30 and there not branded or anything but I really love them. I wore them yesterday and they are very comfortable. 


And heres my outfit yesterday daytime. River Island Glamour is forever top, jeggings from Primark and my new shoesies :):)


Now for my OOTN



Last minute buy dress here, its actually from the 'beach' section in Primark and cost £7.99 I think. I just loved the colour and the material is flattering. Its not full length but abit longer than midi (on me anyway im 5ft 3) Not sure if its the most flattering length for me with me being short but I teamed the dress with some high blue and pink wedges that ive shown in other posts and I was good to go.  I also love that I can put on a pair of flats and its a day dress. 


Cuff also from Primark and cost around £3.00, its pink and gold hearts so cute. 


Foundation Rimmel Wake Me Up
Sleek Brow Kit
Body Shop Baked Bronzer

Birthday Haulin n Shopping

Heyy Everyone..
So last Saturday the 25th of Feb I turned the grand old age of 27... aaahhhh is that really as old as it sounds. I feel like I'm officially late 20s AND 30 is reeling me in and just cant wait to get its grubby little mitts on me :P
I must say tho it was one of my best birthdays to date, as much as I love receiving my presents I'm very much a girl of simple things and the fact I was brought breakfast in bed (the first time ever) and given handmade cards really did melt my heart and put the biggest smile on my face. I also got a visit from my Grandad who lives in London and he had a lovely bunch of flowers, chocolates and wine for me.. yum!!
I spent the day eating lovely food and then had a night out with some my friends. I totally abandoned my camera so no pics from the night unfortunately but I'm out this Saturday with some more friends and I'm going to try remember my camera.

So now on to the more superficial but exciting all the same birthday goodies. Ive been a really naughty blogger and opened some things and put them away but anyway ill show you what I can...















So here's what I could gather from my presents/shopping day. Theres allot of pics but ill go into more detail on some items on a separate post. Don't want to bore you on this one. My favourite atm are my red glitter Vans, I'm not even a flats kinda girl but these have not been off my feet. They are sooooo sparkly, I cant stop looking at them.

Hope you like what I got, any questions about anything feel free to ask, or if you would like a more in depth post on anything just let me know.

Happy Friday everyone... yeyyyy its officially the weekend.

MASSIVE Haul

Heyy everyone,
My camera finally arrived today and im over the moon with it. Its a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50, I got it in pink and so far so good im a very happy bunny.


While I been away I done loads of shopping and I cant wait to show you because im so pleased with the things I got, infact im sure theres more to show lingering about but this will do for now. 
Ive also picked up loads of hair care products that I will show in a separate post. 


So time to crack on - First stop Internacional




These two tops were £12.99 each, and I think they would be great for daytime. 


Next up River Island Online Sale





I absolutely LOVE the River Island online sales, I think they are the best sales iv'e ever seen. When I was last in the shop I was instantly drawn to the Glamour Is Forever top, but the £40 price tag made me put it back, I could never spend that on a day top soooo you can imagine my excitement when I seen it in the sale for £15. I also picked up a pair of garish and tacky leopard print trousers they were £10 


Next up New Look





This dress really is something I would never normally buy, never been a fan of high necklines but I adored the pattern and colours. Once I tried it on to my surprise I loved it, it screams 60's and ive already wore it a couple of times. I got it on sale for £14.99. 


Next we have my Primark goodies - Theres ALLOT




 First up I bought two midi skirts. Now these are very hit and miss with allot of people (me included) I never thought I could pull them off and look cool instead of like a granny. I gave them a go anyway and in the changing room I really liked them on, I couldnt decide what colour I liked best so I got both. One black, one a rusty orange colour. They were £10 each. 




 Ive seen leather skirts about loads recently and really love the look of them. Im not actually sure when I will wear this and what with just yet but I really like it. £14.00




This is one of my favorite of all ive bought. Its a tiger print dress and it cost only £10. I got it in a size bigger because I will be wearing it daytime probably so didnt want it too tight. Now all I need is my invite to Joey Essex' party haha. 



Shiny black leggings, go with anything £6.00. Bargain!!





This top is sooo pretty, its see through with all these gorgeous beads on. Im thinking of teaming this with one my midi skirts but im so unsure what to wear under it. Black top or nude?? Cant decide!! It cost £12.00




 More animal print but seriously how cute is this bag. Cost £11.00





 Lastly the shoes. If your after some party glitter shoes theres LOADS in Primark atm so check them out. The first pair also come as a peep toe but I wanted me tootsies covered, they are a black wedge with a sort of satin finish and a black glitter heel, really christmassy. They cost £16.00. The second pair are just my babies bright pink glitter and bows on the front soooo cute. Like Dorothy shoes only pink, they cost £6.00.


Last but not least ill show you a little Ebay item I won



 Its a River Island dress and I won it for £2.70!!!!!! Such a bargain, it looks great on, love it!!!! 


So thats it for now guys n gals. So glad to be back blogging, Ill be going the Illamasqua launch this weekend so I should have a great post coming up about that, I cant wait. 


Hope everyone is well
Speak soon
