Summer Sales

2012-07-04T06:25:00.002-07:00

So let's be honest it's supposed to be summer yet there hasn't really been much sun up until now and we are in the month of July already so as it is usual the British High Street is already starting to get it's Autumn/Winter Collections slowly introduced and putting it's summer clothing in the sale! You may be thinking that this is a bad sign but what will probably happen is we'll get some nice weather in September and we'll all have nice summer clothing we managed to get cheap. Plus for those going on holiday (I go in September) it's a fab way of making sure you have a beach ready wardrobe. So I'm going to have a look at the sales and bring to do my favourite items from shops including Topshop, River Island, H & M etc.

Busy Bee

2012-07-04T06:17:00.002-07:00

So for the past month I seem to have been so busy with work, moving house and a million other things so I have been neglecting my blog! However I fully intend now that I'm not such a busy bee I will try and keep up with posts as best although knowing me I won't promise as I tend to forget things and get easily distracted.

Christian Louboutin

2012-06-01T12:58:00.000-07:00

I'm sure every girl dreams of one day owning their own pair of red soled shoes. When I think of a pair of shoes I want to purchase with my first proper pay check - Louboutin's are the ones that I want. So as a way of wasting time and in the process not tidying up (win) I decided to have a little peak on the website and here's some of my favourites!!!

Make Up Trash Satin
150mm
£1475.00

Yolanda Strass & Spikes
120mm
£2295.00

Daffodile Strass
160mm
£3795.00

However considering the prices of these beauties I think I'll have to stick to Bianca Patent which are slightly cheaper although still expensive at £495.00 but not completely out of my reach in the future! Fingers crossed :).

Bianca Patent

Need this dress in my life!

2012-06-01T04:59:00.004-07:00

If there's one item of clothing I would happily wear all day every day it would be dresses - I literally adore dresses so much. From maxi dresses to short dresses to plain to printed ones I have a complete love for them. So I am currently debating on this dress from Primark which is actually priced at a reasonable £17.00.

I love the aquarium print and have been wanting to buy this one for ages to the point I have been constantly looking on Ebay for one as my local Primark didn't have it in stock but last week it finally came into store and I was so excited about - almost like I'm meant to have it.

Only problem is not actually sure I need another dress but I just love this one so much that I almost feel it would be rude to buy it!

3D FLOWER DRESS BY SISTER JANE @ Topshop

2012-05-14T05:00:00.003-07:00

I am absolutely in love with this beautiful dress from Topshop which is a concession line. Unfortunately only available on their website meaning that I can't try the dress on but I think it's one of the cutest dresses I've seen in a long time. Only problem is I literally have no money and it's £75.00 but a girl can dream right?

Complete Love 4 Love Label

2012-05-06T13:55:00.002-07:00

I absolutely adore the Brand Love Label available from www.very.co.uk and www.littlewoods.com however I am one of these people that always forgets it exists apart from the odd time I do a search for Love Label items on Ebay. However I decided to have a look at the latest collections on both websites - price and stock differs on both even though the websites are part of the same company - but I did find some beautiful pieces that I definitely am considering purchasing - I especially love their dresses. I've picked out my top 3 from each website.

www.very.co.uk

£23.00

£25.00

Kimono Love

2012-05-05T13:58:00.001-07:00

So it seems ages since I last post and since then I have absolutely fallen in love with Kimono's. I already have a few but they're all black with either bright colours or white flowers as detailing and I really want one that's a bit different than the ones I already have. They are literally everywhere at the moment and every shop and website I look at I end up falling in love with another one.

So far my favourite ones are the ones pictured below all by the brand Band of Gyspies available at www.asos.com and priced £30.00 each. Problem is I just don't know which one I should invest in!!!

Asos All £30.00

Here's a few more that I have found from various shops! I will be rocking one of these kimonos however I'm just undecided which one I should go for. Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.

Dorothy Perkins £31.99

Asos £28.00

Oasis £49.99

Topshop Sale

2012-04-20T15:08:00.003-07:00

I finished work the other day and as I walked out the front doors I noticed the sale sign in Topshop's window (which is opposite where I work) and although I knew deep down I shouldn't as I'd be tempted to spend money I thought I'd have a look anyhow and I was right I did spend money but the two items I bought I do absolutely love. Plus I think they'll be perfect for the summer months - if we actually get any sun that is! I also haven't bought anything in a while so I could justify it!

The first item I bought was a tye-dye top with a cut out back which I can wear so many different way plus it has a cut out back which I am a huge fan of at the moment and at £12.00 reduced from £28.00 it just had to be bought. The second item was a pair of animal print multicoloured leggings that I had previously bought the skirt but had taken it back (due to lack of funds at the time) and they had my size in petite length (I have short legs) so they also got a purchase. They were reduced from £20.00 to £10.00 so I thought why not I might as well buy as well. I just hope we now get the weather so I can wear them - they are definitely summer clothes for me!!!

Desperate to get my hands on these!

2012-04-01T05:15:00.003-07:00

I know we are entering the summer months and especially now with it being the first day of April I should probably be thinking about sandals and summery footwear but I have absolutely loved these boots for months and at £45.00 I actually think they are quite a bargain! Plus they are a beautiful shade of green and my thinking is they can be worn in the evenings when it's slightly chilly! So so so desperate to get my hands on these beauties. Good old Asos never fails to tempt me.

£45.00 Asos

H & M Conscious Collection Spring 2012

2012-03-19T16:03:00.000-07:00

Thursday 12th April 2012 H & M will be launching it's new Spring Conscious Collection for 2012 and be warned it contains some beautiful dresses that have already been seen on the red carpet as can be seen in the pictures below. I do love H & M collections it has to be said even if my bank balance isn't so keen!!!

2012-03-19T15:25:00.005-07:00

So I have decided that I am sick and tired of wasting my time and energy and never really achieving my much or ever seeming to actually do anything that I felt the best way to combat this and make myself more motivated and energised was to compile a list of things to do or achieve! Time can quickly fly past you if you don't make the most of it and I am fed up of feeling that I literally waste every single hour of every single day and having to actually ask myself - what have I achieved today? I no longer want to do this and so I am going to come up with a short list of 5 things that I want to do/achieve and then I will keep on adding to the list as time goes on.

So here's the 5 things that I want to achieve within the next month -

1)- Complete the 3 miles for Sport Relief on Sunday 25th March 2012.

2)- De-Clutter my room to achieve a peaceful atmosphere. Tidy room equals a Tidy mind.

3)- Complete my next assignment a week before it's due in to avoid the awful last minute panics that I always seem to end up having.

4)- Find at least 20 items to put on Ebay with a further 20 to put on next month.

5)- Carry on regularly exercising and eating!!!

H & M Fashion Against Aids Collection 2012

2012-03-13T16:44:00.000-07:00

So H & M have done it again and created a Fashion Against Aids Collection for the fifth year running and this year is undoubtedly it's strongest one yet! Not only is the collection brilliant but the money is going to a great cause meaning investing in your wardrobe has never had such a doubly good effect so make sure on Thursday 26th April 2012 when the 2012 collection launches you are on standby either on your laptop or outside your local store to grab some of the beauties on offer. Below are just a few of the ones I will definitely be wanting to put into my basket!!!

Asos Pick of the Day

2012-03-12T11:57:00.000-07:00

£35.00

And some more pictures.....

2012-03-07T14:40:00.000-08:00

While I'm on a bit of a roll in making this blog slightly more interesting - I have found some more pictures that my sister took of me whilst we were away in September 2011 that I also quite like! So here they are -

As you may have realised I love photos that show off the clothes and not my face. For me nice pictures of me are ones that show the clothes off even if I am doing stupid silly things like waving my arm in the air! I like that my sister manages to capture me when it's going to make a good picture!

One of my Favourite Photos

2012-03-07T11:41:00.001-08:00

I have realised that my blog is somewhat lacking in visual effects and I know more than anyone how someone can get stupidly bored of just reading - it can sometimes just see blah blah blah. So I wanted to share with you this photo that my sister took of me whilst we were on holiday. You may think I can't actually see her face but that's what I like about it, how my dress is mid flow, how my body is in the picture but not my face plus I absolutely adore this dress. It's a fail safe that always makes me happy whenever I put it in. I just wanted to share the essence of that with you!

Goodbye February and Hello March 2012!!!

2012-02-29T16:59:00.000-08:00

I am officially excited that February 2012 is over - I did get some good news i.e Student Finance agreeing to pay my tuition fees and finally getting one of my good friends back in my life other than the odd text which was brilliant but all in all I'm just not a fan of February. For me personally it's almost like the comedown month after the hype of my birthday in October, the build up to Christmas in November and then December. Then it's New Year which normally takes a week to get over that before for me the absolute marathon shopping sprees I do in the sales in January (which I just adore) and then you get to February!

And February just isn't a month I ever seem to enjoy as there seems to be deadline galore, the horror of Valentine's day and then the undecided weather that flips from freezing to mildly warm in a second. I always seem to hit an absolute wall of lowness in February and no more than the last week that has literally been such a stressful, tiring and just weird week in itself and it's been the build up of a pretty intense month which I am going to avoid happening during March!

March is going to be the month I finally get back on track and get the motivation back that I have unfortunately lacking so very much as if I don't now then the rest of the year will follow suit on what February 2012 has been - underwhelming and just self doubting! But with March comes Spring and I fully intend to have a spring in my step!

Facebook Cull = Opportunity!

2012-02-23T15:00:00.000-08:00

So I decided today after a very annoying but thought provoking meeting last night when I was out to cull my Facebook friends of people that are simply just no good to me. It all started when I saw a former guy out with another girl and he completely ignored me so I went on Facebook and de-friended him! It might sound petty but it actually felt good and then I realised that I must have so many more people on my friends list who I don't know and who simply are just there for no particular reason so this started another good batch of un-friending people and I think all in all I got rid of about 30 deadbeats that I simply have no use for in my life (it also gives me a lot less temptation - never a bad thing especially with me giving men up for Lent!). It also made me realise I need to be a lot more fussy about who I actually now let into my life because there are so many out there who can come across as genuinely nice people but they really actually aren't. Appearances can be deceiving!

However I am making a resolve and I am now feeling much happier it has to be said. Doing a facebook cull gives you a new sense of opportunity haha!

And the current situation is actually not so bad!

2012-02-20T08:13:00.000-08:00

For a change the current situation is actually not so bad as it has been in recent weeks that is for sure. I am embracing single life as you are supposed to be and also making sure that I am spending time with friends, keeping in regular contact with my family, staying away from boys (YES!) and looking towards the future in a positive way! All this make me extremely happy and makes me feel very contented like I haven't been in quite a long time which is definitely good for me and my health it has to be said especially as I currently have a hundred and one things to be done but the key is NOT to panic and so far I haven't been. Will keep you posted on any developments.
