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.

Walking in Leopard

Heyy Beautiful people..
Anybody reading this in the UK, will think im absolutely crazy. We have had scorching weather, ive been wearing my summer dresses and shorts once more, so what did I buy myself today??? Yes a pair of wellies... 
While I was out today I regularly get chatting to random people and I was informed today that this weather isnt going to last and apparently snow is on its way. That instantly put fear in me because I hate snow with a passion and I hate the way the world comes to a halt when we have it. 
While just having a little nosey in Peacocks I seen a pair of leopard print wellies. I swore I would invest in a pair this year after ruining my beloved pink Uggs last year in the dreaded snow. 


Here they are..





Now im not a massive fan of wellies, there not really my thing but im not prepared to lose any more loved shoes this year, and IF im going to wear wellies these are right up my street... short and leopard print. 
They cost £16.50, more than id like to pay for wellies but I wanted to cease the moment before its too late. 


I went shopping last week and picked up a few bits. I feel I just have to show you these beauties!!!




They are the biggest, pinkest, fluffiest socks ive ever seen in my life. They are sort of a mix between slippers and socks and I love them to bits. They cost £4.00 from Primark and come in other colours.


Im preying the snow stays away im still scared from getting stranded in town last year coz of it, but at least my feet are prepared. If only all the trains, buses, cars, roads could be too. 


Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Im just sat typing and watching the Liverpool v Everton game, Liverpool 1-0 up atm woop woop. Hope it stays that way.

Little Haul...

Heyy everyone..
Here we have a little haul from last week. Hope you enjoy :)



First of all is this gorgeous floaty dress from New Look. Its one shouldered and has this really pretty peacock feather pattern. I actually wore this last saturday for a night out to a comedy club and I loved it on. Shame I didnt get any pics for you but I was running late.. Doh!! Im sure I will wear it again tho. 



Next is this stunning cobalt blue dress. As soon as I saw it I fell in love. It really reminded me of the Herve Leger body con dresses and as Ill probably never be able to afford one of those ill stick with this. 
Some of you may remember from my earlier posts I was looking for a dress for my friends wedding in The Hilton. I think this is perfect. Its low on the front but goes to my knee so it keeps it nice and classy. Ill feel dressed up enough in the night and not too over the top in the day. 
Im thinking of teaming it with a pair of nude shoes. 
Both dresses came to around £50, such a bargain. 


Next up just a few bits from Superdrug.




Here we have Garnier Fructis Bamboo Flexihold hairspray, this cost £1.50, how amazing is that. Its a really good hairspray too, good hold and doesnt smell too bad (for hairspray) It was at the very bottom of the hairspray shelf, always look low for bargains. 
Also Maybelline Lasting Drama 24H Gel Eyeliner, and a Barry M Nail Paint.




The colour is Cyan Blue and I got it to go with my peacock dress but Ive wore it everyday since I got it on fingernails and toes. I just love it, so bright and attention seeking ;)


Ive been wanting this Gel Eyeliner for the longest time. Everyone raves over gel eyeliner So I bought the sleek one and hated it. This however is nothing like the sleek one. It goes on smooth and easy, you even get the little brush included. Think it cost around £8.00, and although im not sure it lasts 24 hours, I did wake up sunday morning with it still in place from my night out. I hardly ever take my make up off after a night out, very bad habit of mine (smack on wrist)


I got some news on the hair front, Ive decided to ombre my extensions and think im going to go to Boots today for the bleach... eeeeeeek!!!! Keep your fingers crossed for me. 


Thats all for now lovelies.

Party Time...

Heyyyy everyone...
Well first of all let me explain the week ive had. Went to a party on Sunday to celebrate my friends baby girls christening day. The party was really good, with lots of great food, drink, cakes, music... Then we all decided to carry on the partying to a local pub. Now because my friend had been stressing sooooo much about the day and worrying if everything would go well once we hit the pub we decided it was time to relax and have a good time. We done that by having many, many, many shots :S :S
The night time was also amazing, I didnt stop laughing and dancing all night but I was extremely drunk. In-fact the most ive been drunk in years. 
So I return home at a reasonable hour, but I woke the next day actually feeling like death. I did not move out the bed ALL day, and was feeling very sorry for myself. Tuesday was much the same and didnt start to feel a little better till Wednesday... Honestly WTF!!!! 
So im now sworn off alcohol for a long time. 
Then to add to my hungover/feeling very sorry for myself state of mind I decided to pick my laptop up by its screen as ive done many times only this time my thumb cracked it. Soooo I wasnt happy to say the least. Anyway ill cut a long story short and I now have a new laptop screen AND im feeling back to myself :) :) Smiles all round :) :)


Heres a few lil piccys of me before I left for the christening. Hope you like...











Had an amazing time, and so lucky I didnt take my camera out to capture how I was looking later on... no doubt ill get tagged in a few tho haha.
I missed you guys while my laptop was getting fixed, so im now going to catch up with all the blog/youtube action ive missed :)

Ive been shopping..... ohhh yeahhhh :D :D

Heyyy everyone..
Going to share with you what I bought on a little shopping trip yesterday, yeyyyy!!!
Some of you may remember a post I done on a Asos dress I had my eye on, well I ordered the dress and first time it was delivered it was the wrong size so I sent it back requesting my size and they sent it back again correct size but this time wrong colour... grrrr I was not happy. So ive sent it back again this time requesting a refund. Im gutted but the dress was for a christening this week, so pretty pointless now. 
I knew I needed a new dress for this week so I headed into town yesterday. Had a sneeky quick stop in Primark first of all, even tho I knew I wouldnt get my dress in there, I always have a nose in Primark first its like my little routine haha. 
So heres what I got from Primark...






First of all is a T-shirt with two of my great loves on 1) Marilyn Monroe and 2) Leopard print. Soon as I seen this t-shirt I knew I had to have it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Marilyn Monroe, she is a big icon of mine. I wore this top today with a pair of jeggings and i love how it looks on too, very casual but cute too. Now I remember seeing this top was £8.00 but im looking at my receipt and it says £5.90 so im not sure if its on sale or something... BONUS!!!
Next is a denim jacket in quite a light wash. I got this jacket as its so hard to know how the weather is going to be, one minute its hot then its cold so I thought a nice lil denim jacket will be great for those inbetween days. That cost £16.00
Then I got this vest top, love the pattern on the front and especially the fringe detail. I think this will look so cute with denim shorts. That cost £6.00.
I also picked up some underwear and sleepwear but wont show you those. 


Next I went to New Look...




So first up are a pair of harem pants. These are a very love/hate item with ppl, but I personally love them. I think they are so comfy and easy to wear but still look good. I went for a orangy red sort of colour and they cost £9.99
Next up is my chosen dress for the christening this week. Im gutted as I dont think the pics here are doing it justice. Its a strapless maxi dress, the top is nice and fitted and the bottom is a lovely mix of colours. Hopefully I can get you some pics wearing it before I go out. Only thing is as im only 5'3 even in my highest heels its still too long so im debating putting it in the dryer for abit of shrinkage haha. Always a drama with me. This cost £30 but it is for a special occasion and I love it, so worth it I reckon :) :)


Next up Peacocks for some accessories..


Here we have a ring that has all dangling beads on it, I think it looks unusual and I got the matching bracelets too. Each cost £6.00


Next up a recent Ebay purchase...





Once again, the pics just arnt doing it here, its a strapless all in one suit, and the trouser bit is abit harem style and they are cropped at just above your ankle. Its from New Look, and cost JUST £5.00. God I love Ebay sometimes, its in fantastic condition and I couldnt be happier.


Last but by no means least im going to show you what i have bought for my friends little girl who is getting christened this week. Be prepared now for total 100% cuteness... 


How amazinggggggggg is this skirt???? I just love it to bits, and if I could get away with dressing in one of these every day I WOULD..... haha.
I really hope she likes it :) :)


So thats me all done for now. Hope you enjoyed this post.
