Happy Easter

I'm Lucky enough to have bank holidays off work and since it's been sunny I've been able to take some outfit pics :)









Shirt - Ladymuck vintage ; Top - Primark ; Shorts - Ebay ; Shoes - Reebok ; Socks - Primark ; Necklace - Poundland



Dress - Asos (last year)

I've been ordering shorts off ebay like mad (this post and the last) and I doubt I'll buy shorts from anywhere else now unless they're REALLY nice. Nothing seems to fit as well as levi's. I got this top a few years ago in Primark and it was only £3 in the sale and it's been worn to death since.
There's a vintage shop in Redditch and it's so good for mens shirts and furniture etc. They stock items from Sass and Belle too so I've been kitting out my new bedroom like mad with goodies from there.
I popped into poundland after work last week and always have a look at the jewellery and beauty bits to try them and I was shocked to see this style of necklaces. I wanted a gold collar one and I think this is gorgeous considering the price. I was also really naughty and bought a long line necklace with an elephant pendant. For a £1 I couldn't resist.
Since these socks came in stock at Primark I dont wear any other style, they look so cute with my trainers and flats and boots. Normally I'm not the biggest fan of reebok's but I love these 30th edition ones.
Onto the next pic, this is an oversized smock dress from last year when Asos was selling loads of styles. Unfortunately I didnt get any others and it's my favourite style of dress (bar a tee dress) and its on my list to stock up for summer this year.
I wear this bunny print one every easter. It was my easter present to myself last year :)

March shopping trip

So I have no outfit posts because I've hardly been out. Been working away like mad. So this post is just going to be pictures/links/prices etc of bits and bob's I've bought this month (because I always make time to shop)



Duvet - Primark £5

I wanted this duvet full price (which was still only £11) but when I saw it for £5 I just had to have it.
I think it's really cute and I have a LOT of vintage-like pillows which add some colour and look lovely with this duvet cover.





Rings - Primark £1.50/£2.50

Since working in Primark I have become a cheapskate when it comes to jewellery, I tend to not pay more than £8 for anything. The rings are especially good value since I always seem to lose them. I don't wear a statement ring very often so midi rings are perfect for me. Just gives that extra in an outfit.



Top - Jaded London £28

I really struggle with buying a bikini top due to the size of my breasts :( I dont want to totally cover them, but nor do I want to get them right out and look like a slapper.
So I saw this top from Jaded London on ASOS.com and had to buy it.
when the sun comes out I'll probably wear it as a top aswell. I just think its lovely and a nod to the calvin klein iconic design





Shorts - D2Vintage @ Ebay £12.95; Top - Primark £5

These are Probably my favourite shorts ever, I definately recomment going up a size considering Levi's are well known to be on the small side. The link I provided is for the "grade A" shorts, which means they are perfect condition but a few pounds more expensive than the £12.95 I paid.
I bought the "grade B" meaning they come a bit more battered and may need some repair work, mine for example needed a button hole sewing up in the corneer.
Now this primark top is one of my favourite clothes from there recently. It can be worn off shoulder like a bardot shape or up on the shoulders.
I just adore the elephant and "hippie" prints that are coming back into fashion now.

So that's all my clothes etc. I've done loads of overtime this month so next month's hauls/outfit posts will hopefully be more exciting, and of course more of them :)

2015

Ok so yet again I haven't posted for ages, been a busy little bee the last few months.
So I'm gonna do a quick round up of a few of my fave outfits and buys this year so far.



I had been searching for a beautiful cable knit jumper for ages and I was lucky enough to find this one in Primark, to make things better it was in the sale for £7.
I'm now on the hunt for a nice green one so if anyone can help that would be good ;)
I've worn it 4 times so far this year, love it tucked into shorts or as a dress with tights and even though it's loose it still fits under my coats.






Ok anyone who knows me will know I have a bit of an obsession with dogs. This duvet set from is from Primark and was £11, even in a double and of course I had to get the matching pj bottoms £6



Top - Missguided ; Shirt - Ladymuck vintage ; Jeans - Primark ; Shoes - Nike "fast love" air max

I have worn this shirt nearly everyday since I bought it from my local vintage shop as it goes with anything and I refuse to pay £20+ for an oversized one in high street shops.
Of course I this Missguided top, as soon as it went in the sale I ordered it without even thinking, if it's good enough for Jourdan Dunn!!
These Primark jeans have ripped knees but you can't ever tell on me because I'm so damn short but hey ho.
And lastly these Nikes are just wonderful, I get compliments whenever I wear them, been worn to death for about 2 years now.



I saw loads of these chokers on Instgram and had to get one. This is a pink one (excuse the forever bad photos) and was £2 off Ebay.
Can be worn with almost anything just to give it a cute/tough little edge

So that's me for this month, I need to update more often so I will get on it!

Primark haul

Ok so I haven't posted for ages due to being red ridden and ill for the past few weeks so haven't worn or bought anything to blog about. I'm a bit better now so mum took me out to Westfield merry hill for a little shopping spree. Here's what I bought the other day and what I wore today



Top - Primark ; Necklace - Ebay ; Shirt - Charity shop



So I love this tropical/chain/leopard top, reminds of Versace prints. It's a beautiful material and I've seen a few similar in Topshop. I felt it could easily be dressed up or down and I love the contrast black band on the collar.



Ok I'll admit I do adore Harry Styles, but even I'm not crazy enough to wear this out the house. I got the biggest size possible and I plan to wear in bed. It's a big slouchy boyfriend style roll sleeve so perfect for lounging around in.



This Star wars tee was from the mens section and I think it looks quite "vintage" wouldn't think it's from Primark (hopefully). It was only £6 and as a massive Star wars fan I just couldn't resist it.



I've seen quite a few online brands do their version of this top (basically the same) for £40+ and this was in the sale for £3. It's a slim fit, so tighter than I'm used to, but nothing some high waisted jeans/leggings/shorts won't solve.



Sorry for the poor picture, I know black doesn't photograph very well. But this is a black ripped crop, identical to the ones selling in Topshop at the moment for £8, only this one is a bit longer and only £3. I have the topshop one too and I honestly think this Primark version is better (for me anyway) as it's a tiny bit longer and no worries of underboob!



I recently bought the Topshop version of these shoes (luckily for £10) and they aboslutely kill my feet, I'm going to put them on ebay or depop. So I'm pleased I went for it and bought these for £10. They're the comfiest "geek" shoes I've ever owned, even without socks.



I said I liked Star wars ;) this is an all over print and a lovely "scuba" fabric so nice and thick. Haven't seen a Star wars top like this before so I had to get it. As usual I bought it oversized so I can wear it as a tee dress if I wanted as it's long line.




Everyone who knows me, knows I can't resist a dog print. So when I saw this pyjama set and matching onesie I just had to have them. Perfect for summer into winter.


And last but not least, my Mickey mouse fleecy pyjamas. Can never have too many cozy pjs and I love the colour and print on the trousers.
So that's my little Primark haul, I bought a few socks and boring bits too, but you get the idea.

Redditch Morton stanley festival

I went to Hereford in the day to see my friends who have one of my sold puppies, then straight to a festival near town so I needed something comfy but nice and chose my Motel "major" dress, was so busy I didn't get a full body shot but got some pictures.







Top/dress - Motel ; Necklace - Asos ; Jacket - Ebay ; Lipstick - Collection 200 "mudslide"

So awful photo's I know but you get the idea. The items I'm wearing are sold out now but the harrington jacket is easily found on ebay, I paid about £16 for this one rather than the usual £60+ And I've said before how much I love the "major" dress by Motel. Can be worn as a dress or top tucked into shorts/jeans.

Easter holiday style

Dress - Asos

I absolutely love smock dresses and seeing as it's easter I HAD to treat myself to this one. I bought it oversized and it's now my favourite dress I own and the short sleeves are perfect for summer.


Shoes - River Island

These are sold out online but my local store has loads of these in pink, white and patent black. I wanted them when they were full price at £45 and now they're down to £15 my mum actually bought me then as a easter present because she loves them too. I just think they're so cute for summer with little white or pastel coloured frilly socks.



Top - Primark ; Leggings - H&M ; Choker necklace - Ebay

I saw this top come into work and couldn't resist it, a stripe tee is a wardrobe essential and I already have a black and white one so I went for the blue and white. Bought oversized as I do with most items and it tucks in perfectly to my new leggings which are a smart material as opposed to the usual jersey. I bought the choker on ebay and have worn it almost everyday since, it just goes with anything and just finishes off any outfit.

This week in Accessories

Necklace - Ebay

I wear this necklace all the time, I always browse Ebay for new chokers and it's full of these velvet ones. I went for the moon because it isn't too over the top and can be worn with pretty much anything and isn't so intricate that you can't tell what it is, which I find with some charms. It cost me about £4-5 with postage but theres just nowhere on the high street that does this simple style



Sunglasses - Topshop unique

I bought these sunglasses a few years ago because I love the John Lennon style round glasses and thought these were a bit different because of the frame so I didn't mind spending over £20 for them (which is a lot for me the spend on glasses)



Velvet hair bow and Hello Kitty hairbands - The little bag company

I saw these while shopping for a mother's day gift and couldn't resist them. I have to have my hair up for work and I get bored with the same style everyday so new cute hair accessories is always welcome. They came to £2-something in total so I was pleased

January compilation

Ok so I've been mega busy this Jan with work, birthdays etc and I dont wanna do lots of little posts so I'll just do a little compilation of what I've been upto/wearing/buying

Hair chalk - Ebay
I bought this hair chalk just as the new loreal chalks lauched but couldn't justify spending £15, these were only £3 from ebay.
You do have to wet the hair before uing these, and it does damage and dry the hair out. I probably won't use them again since my hair is dip dyed and I don't want the blonde to get too damaged. But for £3 I'm pleased I tried them.

Shoe - Topshop @ Next2nowt.com
I wanted these "geek" shoes for ages, but they're so expensive at the moment and I saw my size on Next2nowt and couldn't resist them (all sold out now) I've only worn them twice so far because of the rain, but they're so comfy. Exactly what I expect from Topshop shoes. Thanks to this website though I refuse to pay full price for shoes in Topshop without checking Next2nowt first.

Midi rings - Rock n Rose

This is actually my first purchase from Rock n Rose, even though I lust over their jewellery all the time it's just too expensive for me since I tend to misplace a lot. But these rings are in the sale for £9 and I had a 50% sale items code from their instagram so I could buy them without feeling guilty. I also picked up the "Pixie lott 'HOLLY'" necklace. Theres more I want but I managed to be good and only buy 2 items

Nail varnish - Illamasqua in "Harsh"
Over Christmas I've become obsessed with Illamasqua makeup, their foundation works beautifully on my skin, since trying their lipsticks I wont buy from anywhere else and their nail varnish is just as impressive. I managed to bag this varnish in the sale for £5 which is amazing seeing as it's back up to £16.50, just wish I'd bought more in the sale.
In this picture I only have one coat on and it's lasted me over a week. This shade is matte enough to wear on its' own but would also look beautiful as a top coat, im dying to try it with a nude and "Harsh" on the tips. Totally worth the £16.50 if you can find a shade you're going to use alot.

So that's what I've bought in January that's worth mentioning but not big enough to have their own posts :)
