Thursday's Winter Outfit of the Day - Leopard print and fur #Topshop #Primark #Missguided #Zara #OOTD

This is today's outfit.  I bought these jeans in the sale at Topshop and I love them!  So did the woman at the till!  Unfortunately they were the last pair.  Oops!  I just paired them with a linen vest top from Zara and my bargain cardigan from Primark - which I actually think has a catch running along the back.  Mind you, not going to complain when it was only £5!

Cardigan - Primark - £5.00 (sale)
Vest top - Zara - £5.99 (sale)

I can feel a haul coming on!

I've been really naughty and been shopping again!


I've had a rough week.  Lots of sleepless nights and lots of stress but a bit of retail therapy always helps!  The sales are amazing!!!  I always find the sales are at their best towards the end.  Maybe it's because there's less stuff to rummage through or they save their best stuff until last so that they can get rid of all the shit that they've been trying to get rid of for the past 15 sales!!  Who knows but I think I'm going to do a haul on my youtube channel.  I'll try and film and edit it tomorrow so it should be up by Sunday.  You can check out my youtube channel here,

I'm also going to have to get some of my stuff up on ebay.  I have no room for all this stuff otherwise!

Hope you all have an amazing weekend xxx

I love Tartan!

So I bought this shirt from the men's section in Primark for about £10.  I love it.  I love tartan/plaid, whatever you call it.  Perhaps it's just checked.  Well whatever, I love it.  Jeans are the Topshop Leigh ones with an old New Look fringed crop vest and paired with my beloved Converse!

Wednesday Wish List #2

I was looking through Missguided's website yesterday and I saw this beautiful cropped shirt but it looks like they are out of stock :-(  I just love it!!  On a separate note, I can't stand Missguided's website!  It's awful!  The search box always brings up about 700 items, when you click back, it doesn't take you to the last spot you were at and when you click to the next page, it starts from the bottom!


I've also been lusting after these trousers from River Island for quite a while.  I can't decide whether to get them or not.  I need to make my mind up soon though otherwise I won't have a choice!


And the last thing on my wish list this week (apart from a well needed holiday) are these boots from H&M.  I love them.  I kept seeing them in H&M but never bought them.  Now I'm pretty sure they are sold out everywhere anyway.  I really need to be more decisive.  But then I always decide I want something once they sell out!



I don't wear monocrhome often? #OOTD #WIWT

For someone who isn't keen on wearing monochrome outfits, I certainly seem to be wearing that look more and more!  The reason I don't particularly like it is because black doesn't really suit me.  And I'm not entirely sure I like this outfit anyway.  I don't think I can pull off that whole over-sized look.  I'm too short!  But I've been up since 5.30am this morning so I just threw this on.  It's nice and comfortable which was my main aim today, especially as I went shopping.  I want to be wearing something nice and easy to get in and out of for when I try anything and everything on!

I only bought a couple of things today which I'll post about tomorrow maybe but I did pop into Lush.  I was thinking about getting one of those bubble bath bomb things.  The lady spent so long showing me everything that I didn't feel I had any option but to buy one!  But I'm definitely looking forward to my bath tonight with a nice glass of wine!

Kimono love! #OOTD #WIWT #Topshop

Hair straightener review

I've bought and been through countless hair straighteners.  I couldn't live without them so I thought I'd do a quick review on GHDs, Remmington Kertain Therapy and my latest ones, Cloud Nine.

Winter Lookbook now live on youtube

I've finally uploaded my first edited video.  Wasn't as hard as I thought!  You can check it out here :-)

Tartan and biker jacket outfit of the day #OOTD #WIWT

Outfit of the day.  The top is from my favourite website www.dresslink.com.  They are based in China or Korea (not sure which) and they are so cheap!  All their stuff is amazing and fantastic quality although this jumper is probably the worst quality item I've bought so far.  It was only cheap but there's a hole in the sleeve already and I've only worn it once!

Haven't done much today apart from try to film my lookbook for youtube which I'm going to start editing after this.  Haven't used iMovies before but hoping it won't be too challenging!




Primark jacket (old)
Primark scarf - £5.00
Topshop Jamie jeans - £38.00
New Look shoes (old-ish) 
Dress Link cropped bow jumper - £4.69

My most expensive purchase so far

So today I bought a Macbook Pro.  I've wanted one for ages and my old laptop was getting a bit slow so I thought I'd just do it.  I saw it in Curry's on sale for £1,099 for the 8GB version.  They also have the 4GB one for the same price which isn't on sale.  Seems ridiculous that they would sell the same thing for the same price with one having much more memory!  But hey ho,  I got the better one.

I'm sure I'll have buyer's remorse during the night.  Does that only happen to me?  You wake up in the night and think "what the hell was I thinking???" then wake up in the morning thinking you knew exactly what you were thinking.  Obviously it's not the most expensive thing I've ever bought.  That would be my house and my car but aside from that, it most definitely is!  Just got to get used to using it now so I'm sure I'll be annoying my brother constantly!  He's a bit of a Mac and web expert.  He's a web developer so I'm constantly asking him things.  Probably driving him nuts but he drove me nuts when we were growing up so it's payback time!

I'm looking forward to try doing more youtube videos.  I want to do a lookbook but my old laptop was struggling to cope with any kind of video editing so hopefully my Macbook will help.  I do have one video up which is a huge, huge fashion haul.  I'm going to try and keep my future videos shorter as we all have things to do.  If you want to check out my channel, you can find it here.

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend.  I've visited friends today which was lovely and found out that one of them is pregnant with her second child so very exciting.  I'm sure I'll be broody again despite having two children under the age of 18 months!



Oooh isn't she pretty!  I may have to give her a name!  I'm so weird!

Hope you're all having a fab week so far.  Not long until the weekend! :-)

Wednesday Wish List

So today I was looking at the things I really want to buy but am currently restraining myself.  Do I really need more stuff???  Probably not but it doesn't stop me from lusting!


Oooh I love this dress!  It's beaut but I have nowhere to wear it so I'm holding off!


These are probably a necessity more than a wish after my bodged haircut I recently had.  It only cost me £9.90 so I guess I got what I paid for.  That'll teach me for trying to scrimp on haircuts.  Back to my normal hairdresser in February.  She's expensive but you definitely get what you pay for!


Love this jumper.  But I have one similar.  But then it's not this one...

Oh I need this shirt!


I saw this jacket when I was out shopping yesterday.  I was so tempted to buy it but I just don't have room for another jacket.  Not right now anyway!


Is it summer yet?  I'm sick of layering and am definitely lusting after one (or all!) of these!  Think at least one of these will make it to my wardrobe!
