Sorry these pictures are so crappy! The lighting makes everything look funny colours :( waah. Wearing a few of my new purchases. Love this skirt & cannot wait for the sun to get its ass out so I can say bye bye tights.

Thank youuu so much to Chelsea for featuring me in a post the other day! Her blog is larrrvly so definitely worth a look. Also check out Megan at the The Heartbreak Hotel, she wears the cutest outfits & has a lovely little shop up and running now. I think I'm going to do a post on my favourite blogs soon because I could literally go on about all the beauts out there!

little splurge

Peace Sign Leggings - Topshop(£22), Skirt - H&M(£14.99), Orange Vest - H&M(£7.99)

Backpack - Primark(£9), Sunglasses - H&M(£5.99), Earrings - Topshop(£5)

Geekily wearing everything I bought..

I spent a little bit of moolah..whoops. I haven't been properly shopping since I went back to uni at Christmas so I deserve a little treat right?!

I'd seen the sunglasses on Amy & I just had to be a little copy. Massive bargain, now bring on the sun. Of course I couldn't limit myself to just one H&M purchase so I ended up with a few extras.. The skirt is the cutest with little built in braces. I was worried it was a bit of a 11 year old Tammy Girl kind of thing (I'm hoping everyone my age had that stage..haha) but I think it'll be nice with creepers & a pretty shirt.

The backpack is a beaut. Primark can be so shit, but I actually love this! However, parting with nearly £10 in there does make me want to cry. Ha.

lace skirt

Choker-DIY, Top-Charity Shop, Belt-Primark, Hot Pants-Primark, Skirt-River Island, Boots-Charity Shop

Never thought I'd see the day I'd be wearing an Adidas top haha. My house mates thought I was crazy when I brought this back, and to be honest so did I. Definitely an impulse purchase. But I actually think it looks alright as a crop top with some cute jewellery. Don't worry, I won't be rocking the tracky bottoms any time soon ;)

Ohhh I now have twitter! You can follow me here :) I'm very twitter shy atm haha.. I don't quite understand it yet so bear with me!

Sorry it's another boring outfit post :( I'm going home this weekend for lots of chills, so hopefully I'll get chance to take some better pictures, spend a few pennies and be able to post something exciting haha!

Hope everyones gonna be having pancake food babies tonight. I'm having some with gravy (is this a northern thing?!) then really sickly ones. YUM.

Lots of lovinnn to you all for being the nicest & tolerating my bad photography.

DIY pink rinse

Necklace-DIY, Dress-Miss Selfridge

Went out last night & was so bored of my hair that I decided to have a go at a pink dip dye! All I used was food colouring & leave in conditioner. Slap it on and job done. It just washes out so perfect for us wimps haha ;) it's more of a old lady pink rinse but ah well. I've bought some blue today so I'm gonna do it purple next time. Yayyy.

Really bad pic of my nails for the night. Continuing with the pink theme (such a girl) I did a glittery yin - yang type thing.. think it looks more like a clown outfit though ha.

outfit ft. pammy

Choker-DIY, Top-Primark&DIY, Tights-Claires, Socks-Primark, Creepers-Ebay

I've been meaning to post this for ages. Took these pictures when I was at home & had more time for dress up. Stupid uni!

My top is from the men's section at Primark, I cut it up a bit and this is what I ended up with. Pammy is such a hot mamma. I wanna go get some more of the men's tees, I think I've seen a Family Guy one that would look cool tie dyed. Haha how geeky am I.

charity shop skirt

Necklace-DIY, Fur collar - River Island, Lace Body-Charity shop, Belt-Primark, Skirt-Charity shop, Boots-Docs

My hair is so messy! Took these pictures after I'd been charity shopping & done my tie dying so I think I'd have benefited from a sesh with the Tangle Teezer (love of my life).

I got this skirt for £3, score. You can't see on my crappy pictures but it's got buttons all down the middle... it's a lot prettier in the flesh! I know I'll get loads of wear out of this, with jumpers in the winter & crop tops in the summer. Yippeeee for second hand ;)

P.S thank you to all my lovely followers. Hope you have the bestest Valentines filled with lots of kisses!!

tie dye tee

Necklace-DIY, Top-Charity&DIY, Sunglasses-Primark, Leggings-Primark, Converse

Yay I finally got some dye! Tie-dying is my new best friend ha. I'm currently scouring my room looking for things to turn baby pink. I've seen a peace sign tutorial which looks crazy cool, definitely going to have a bash at that. Oh & I am loving keeping my crazy hair under control like this. I feel like Marie from The Aristocats. Awww.

Had a nice few days charity shopping & seeing my momma. How cute is she for fetching me these little goodies!? Such a babe.

topshop pretties

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person that checks out Topshop's newest bits & bobs at least a few times a week. To be honest I've never been their biggest fan, I think a lot of their stuff is over priced & often not the best quality. However, their latest stuff is seriously beautiful. If I had money I'd definitely be having a splurge.

My favourites are the button down dresses & mary janes. Definitely hoping to pick a pair up soon soon, but black or white?!
