Heyy Everyone...
Sooo its now 2013, I wish each and every one of you reading this a Happy New Year and I hope its all you wish it to be. Im not usually big on NYE and the last few years ive happily had quiet drinks at home with a film. This year however I made plans of sorts and that was going to a local pub then my friends house who lives just 5 minutes from the pub for a little house party.
I decided to dress quite casual as I wanted to be comfortable but I still wanted to be dressy enough to see in the new year so I decided on black top, black high waisted leggings and to jazz it all up a blue sequined jacket that I got for half price in the Matalan sale.
I teamed this with a pair of blue wedges I got in the New Look sale for £12.00 my trusty studded Primark bag and feather earrings also from New Look.
Im not really one for resolutions either but I am being a massive cliche and deciding I want to get fit for the new year and ive decided the only way to do that is to re join the gym. Ive made a sneeky order from sports direct and got myself some new gym wear and im planning on going down the gym tomorrow to book my induction.... wish me luck.
Im also wanting to pass my driving test this year, ive had about 8 lessons already so im just going to keep those up and hopefully pass soon. My next lesson is on the 4th and im hoping ive not forgot too much over the festive period.
If you have made any resolutions then I would love to hear them. Oh and what you making of the sales this year, ive actually not been into town yet but made a few online orders. I just couldnt face the crowds.
Hope your all well
Love Lucy x x
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.

Heyyy Everyone..
Hope your all well. This is my outfit for today, just simple but I love it. I got this dress about two weeks ago in New Look, and even better still it was on sale :D
So as you can see it has that sort of Aztec print, in grey black and white. The long sleeves are great for the kind of weather we are having in the UK and I cant explain how soft and lovely this feels on my skin.
It was reduced from £27.99 to just £13.00. How could I resist??
Underneath I'm wearing some trusty Primark tights, that have fleece lining and OMG they are the warmest cosiest tights everr, and just some black boots I got from a Charity Shop to finish.
Make up and hair both pretty simple. Getting my roots done next week. I honestly cant wait but I'm actually going to a different place so I'm nervous, but fingers crossed all goes well.
Speak Soon

Heyy Everyone...
So I went into town today for essentials only, and returned with many many non essential items (as ya do) so here they are, and they have made me very happy so I just gotta share.
First of all I popped into St Johns Precinct (Liverpool City Centre) Its full of small independent shops and always worth a nosey, as you can get gorgeous things as great prices.
I walked into a shop called Rebellious and spotted this dress on the mannequin and instantly hunted it down in the shop. Found it... my size... I had to make it mine. I don't even have any nights out planned but I love it so much I'm debating saving it for one of my birthday nights out in Feb. If I can go that long without wearing it. Its a stunning bright pink colour, with black poker dots and a big black bow. Looks gorgeous on too and cost £20.
I also picked up this gorgeous black sheer top that has white skulls all over. Its hard to show it properly in a picture so will have to feature it in a OOTD soon. It cost £15.
Next up Primark
Primark must of read my mind, or went through my Internet history because for the last about 4-5 days ive been searching Barbie items online. I think I want a Barbie Pauls Boutique Bag for my 27th, VERY tacky I know, but I really do love them. This year I'm being very sensible and getting driving lessons for my birthday so I think the bag is my way of injecting some fun and excitement into the day haha.
Went off on one there.... so the top, Barbie and its a sort of sweater material. Perfect as ive also been saying I'm starting the gym again. Very cliche I know but I really do want to get back in shape. It cost £10, bargain!!!
The dress I picked up as its something easy I can just throw on with a pair of tights and still look presentable. Its very flattering for a curvy figure and cost just £10.
Last but not least New Look
These arnt the most exciting items but thought id show them anyway. Once again were going down the gym route. The grey pants were on sale for £9.00, and the canvas pumps were £12.99.
So that's it for now, think I need to lock myself in a room so I cant spend no more. I didn't even get anything in a sale except the grey pants haha.
Hows everybody else getting on in the sales, any good bargains??
Speak Soon

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
