Earrings Bracelets  Rings  Necklaces Thought I'd show you my fave jewellery bits & bobs. I haven't put where I got everything because I can't actually remember where some things are from! A lot are hand me downs from my momma or have been collected over the years..being a complete hoarder does have a few benefits! The friendship bracelets are probably my most worn items. I've got a big bag full that I made over the summer (one of my previous DIY crazes) that I always swap and wear with the more glitzy stuff. Quite a few of the necklaces are DIYs too.. I need to stop going to Hobbycraft. If anyone does want to know where something is from let me know & I'll try my best to remember! x

shirt & floral dress

Sunglasses - H&M, Shirt - Charity Shop, Dress - H&M, Hold Ups - Asda Just a quick post today! My friend is coming to stay for the weekend so I wanted to get something up while I had chance. Uni is the bane of my life at the mo so I need a few days to forget it & stop being a little stress head! These H&M dresses are my new faves. Everytime I'm in there I see so many girls buying them, but they really are such a flattering fit for £7.99. Bargain. I've just reached 700 followers so wanted to say a biiiig thanks! I generally don't have anything that exciting to say ha.. the fact that many of you stick with me is crazy. Lots of kisses. xx x

american apparel disco pants

Hat - Dads, Necklace - c/o  La Moda Boutique , Crop Top - Charity Shop, I <3 NY Tee - Here , Disco Pants - American Apparel, Creepers - Underground Say hello to my newest babies! I know just about everybody & their grandmas have these but I just couldn't resist. I still think they are redonkulously overpriced, but I have yet to see anywhere do the perfect copy. Yes I am justifying my little splurge ;) ha.  I couldn't stick to just one outfit.. they go with everything. I'm thinking I might stop spending little & often and just save so I buy disco pants in every colour haha.. This is veryyyy unlikely to happen. Oooo congrats to the lovely Leigh for winning the first prize of  my giveaway & also a big thankyaaa to everyone that entered :) x

today's nails

Image
Turquoise Bracelet - c/o La Moda Boutique , Peace Bracelet - c/o Delilah Dust Thought I'd do a little nail post seen as I haven't done one for a while. I was once again lusting after Vicky's gorgeous nails and had to be a big copycat with the daisy/camo print. I can never just pick one pattern so ended up with a mish mash as per. I really want a Boy London tee mainly due to Rihanna being cool as hell. For now I'm having to make do with a bit of nail art ha. Poor attempt but hey ho! & how priddy are the peter pan collars?! I saw this on a nail art blog (procrastination to the extreme) & thought I'd have a bash. When I'm having a girly day I'm gonna do all my nails like this in pastels.. Cutesy overload! Ooo last few hours of my giveaway!! You can enter here :) x

pencil skirt

Image
Beanie - Primark, Jacket - Charity Shop, Bralet - Primark, Pencil Skirt - River Island, Creepers - Ebay, Necklace - Little Teacup I promise I'm not actually an angry little girl like I look in these pictures. I can't help but squint!  I really wanted to wear this skirt with a nice white crop top & a pair of crazy high heels, but I just never go anywhere posh enough! Student nights aren't always the best for getting dolled up. I think this sort of thing looks quite cool worn casual anyway. Thought I'd let you all know that I finally jumped on the blogging bandwagon & treat myself to the American Apparel Disco Pants..eeeek I know!! Everyone who follows me on twitter will know that parting with that (redonk) amount of money took a lot of consideration ha, but I am pretty much in love . I'll be doing plenty of outfit posts wearing them, they are way too pretty.  x

naughty purchases

 Bra Top - Primark(£4), Crochet Shorts - H&M(£14.99), Real Techniques Starter Set - Boots(£21.99), Revlon Lip Butter - Boots (£7.99) Peace Bracelet - £3.50, Sugar Skull Bracelet - £3.00 c/o Delilah Dust Just a quick mini haul today! I'm back at uni & hating it so I needed a little pick me up. Putting in loads of work & still doing rubbish = me spending pennies. Oh no. How loverrrly are these shorts?! I missed out on H&M's crochet shorts last summer so had to get these when I saw them. They do them in black too (very tempting) so I may be making a trip back. Summer needs to hurry up so that I can wear these with a cutesy crop top & get tanned legs. The lovely little bracelets are curtesy of Delilah Dust ..so bloody pretty! I always love new companies, they have the best cute bargains! My giveaway is still going here :) x

pastel dress

    Dress - Zara, Necklace - DIY, Leather Jacket - Topshop, Bag - Matalan, Boots - Docs , Ear Cuff - littleteacup.bigcartel.com You have no idea how much I froze to death taking these pictures. I just wanted to show everyone my new fave purchase, this lovely pastel dress from Zara. It was only £15.99, & I know now I'm buying summery items it will rain non stop. Its not very practical at the mo, but I wanted to pretend that I'm cool enough to be at Coachella. Waaah so jealous!! Apologies for me loving a bit of a side boob. I'll be popping something a little more appropriate underneath it! The cut is just too pretty to not show off. P.S don't forget to enter my giveaway eeee :)  x

Luckily, La Moda have given me the chance to treat ya ;)  Apologies for my shoddy photography skills, they definitely don't do the prizes justice.

new things

Skull Vest - Primark (£5) Yellow Dress - H&M (£7.99) Lilac Body Con Dress - Primark (£10) Perfect pretty colours for spring/summer. Of course it is now snowing. UGH. Revlon Lip Butters Real Techniques Stippling Brush Real Techniques Core Collection Sunglasses - H&M (£3.99) Earrings - Primark (£2) I caved into the hype surrounding Revlon Lip Butters. How naughty is Boots for putting everything on 3 for 2?! I also ended up getting the Real Techniques Stippling Brush, which I absolutely LOVE. Again there's a lot of hype surrounding these brushes but so far I'd say it's deservedly so. I was so loved up that I had to go out & get the core collection..whoops.   Palm Pendant Necklace (£5.99) & Chain Peace Pendant Ear Cuff (£4.99) - c/o littleteacup.bigcartel.com How pretty are these babies?! The lovely Chelsea asked me if I'd like to pick a couple of items off her site, very spoilt for choice. Her stuff is just the sort of thing I like, really pretty bu...
