Another bargain clothes haul!

Hi All!


So you all know I do love Primark a bit too much, and today I decided i'd have a browse in my local store. For the first time in a while I almost walked out the store without buying anything which is not normal for me!! But then I saw some stripes draped over the sale rack, and there it was the dress below for only £3.....

I have to say this is not something i'd usually go for but for £3 I thought theres no harm in taking the risk, so i bought it :o)

My mother also took a trip to the Newlife Charity Warehouse this week which she visits about twice a month, usually with my nan, to check out what they had instore. For those that don't know, this warehouse stocks items such as clothes, shoes, bags, accessories etcetcetc and the money goes to the charity to help disabled babies and children. I'm not 100% sure how much of the money goes to the charity, but im sure it's a fair amount.

I love going to this place when I get the chance because they stock items from some of our fav stores such as River Island, but also rare items from Karen Millen and French Connection at cheap prices!! It's all about having your rummage head on though. But anyways... heres what the mother picked up for me...

Marks & Spencers skirt: £6


River Island skirt: £7

More bargaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaains!!!! I love them!! Anything you bought recently for cheap?

Halloween

Hi All!!!

Hope your all well, sorry I haven't really posted this week, ive been really busy with starting back at university and working!

This post is just a quick one, asking you what your opinions are on my options for this years Halloween 2009 outfit? My possible oufits are non-halloween related and non-original, so i'll be doing the whole 'Mean Girls' scenario; using it as the one time of year when a girl can dress as a 'slut' and not be called one :o)

So last year was amazing; me and the fella went as Alice in Wonderland and a Cowboy (random combination I know) to a charity halloween fancy dress event and here's a sneak peek of that night....

Anyways lets get down to it, these are my options!

Referee

Pirate

Sailor

What do you all think? All are priced around £30 and I have to say i'm leaning more towards the sailor; my boyfriend loves them all haha! (I'm not hiring as I cannot find any of these outfits to hire) I'd appreciate your feedback on which outfit you prefer cause I can't decide at the moment!

Should i?

Hi All!!

So I work two part time jobs in a Funeral Directors as a receptionist and in Boots the Chemist as a sales assistant.. but I still seem to be broke constantly after paying board money, direct debits and just trying to live a decdent life!!! So the question is, should I do the following and become a dog walker....

I know theres no demand for this job title

but i guess its worth a go if I market myself correct?

Any ideas?

Channeling my inner model was fun!

Hi All!

My birthday gift from my mom was a photoshoot with Wolverhampton based photographer Alex Styles which I did today! I must say it was effing awesome!!!! I was so nervous at first but once I relaxed I couldn't and didn't want to stop.

My friends would definately call me a poser, I do love the camera, i'm not gonna lie lol! But i've never done a photoshoot before, well not counting my make-over shoot when I was 15yrs old... you know the Olan Mills kind? haha! Anyways, I took a couple of practise photo's before I headed out and just thought i'd show you!

My make-up/hair look!

FIERCE!

(I did this at the shoot)

I cannot wait to go and pick my photos, they all looked amazing! Alex took about 600 frames altogether and I wore six different outfits!!! I will post my photos once i've been to see them which is in two weeks time!

Boots the Chemist Information!

Hi All!!!


So as some of you may know as my second job I am currently a part time sales assistant at......

I've been thinking that from now on I will hopefully be able to give you all a heads up of what the current/future offers are at Boots when I find out myself. Also, if you guys have any questions regarding Boots I could give you details to the best of my knowledge and hopefully help you out. Unfortunately I am not being paid extra for this, although I wish I could haha! What I was hoping for is if my UK followers in particular, could just give a little feedback on this idea? do you guys think this may benefit some of you?

Just so you know, I have been an employee of Boots since November 2003 as a Sunday girl. I work on the main tills but have experience on the Fragrance section, No7 and Benefit so I know a bit about beauty stuff :o)

FYI
My first FYI, which the majority of you may already know is that we currently have a 3 for 2 mix and match offer across all of:
♥ Self selection cosmetics (excludes premium brands such as clinique, dior, lancome etc)
♥ Haircare
♥ Skincare

ie. You can buy three items within for example cosmetics from any self selection brand and get the cheapest free. You cannot mix the offer across cosmetics, haircare and skincare.


If the majority of you believe this will be beneficial to you, I will conduct 'Boots: FYI' posts whenever I see a offer I think you may find interesting. And for those of you who need to ask any questions regarding Boots; my email adress is situated on the right hand side of the page.

Birthday Wishlist

Hi All!!

So I will be turning 23 years old on Wednesdy 16th September, yup thats in four days time... *dammit* This is coming from the girl who has always looked forward to her birthday ever since she can remember, but this year i'm not sure whats going on! I think it's the number '23' gah!! So because i'm officially getting older and there isn't much I really need, i've asked family/friends to give me vouchers or money and then I can decided what I want. Plus its so much easier! So i've been looking around and i've spotted a few things to fufill my wish list, it's not much but it's enough to treat myself to!

♥ I really like this Lisa Jayne Dann dress which costs £150, but i'm lusting after it so much! I don't care how much money I get, I can treat myself to this regardless right?

♥ I thought this French Connection Clutch looked so pretty also!

♥ And I really need to invest in a blazer, sequined or black tailored.. either way, I NEED ONE!!!

So that's it really! I can tell i'm getting older... four things?? haha it's usually about fourty things on my wishlist :o)

Handbag Kitty!

Hi All!!

So my cat Gizmo and I took a trip round to a friend of mine's new home not so long ago to visit his new kitten. To those who dont know about Gizmo can find out more about him here.

Gizmo is a housecat and is terrified of the outdoors, so getting him out of the house is not an easy task. Trust me! However I figured out a way to get him out the house in a safe, comfortable way without him seeing the outside world; and it works a treat! This is what I carried him in....

My French Connection Shopper!
Now thats a cat with style

Trends: Over-the-Knee Boots

Hi All!


One of my top three fashion bibles; Vogue, states that one of Autumn/Winter 2009 fashion trends are over-the knee boots. Vogue HQ suggest that legs get the VIP treatment with dramatice over-the-top proportions.


So what do you all think when you look at the following photos....

I can tell you what i think:

Hooker heels ♥ Chanel ♥ Sexy

And the below is fashion icon, Kate Moss....

Those of you who are British must have noticed that she is rarely photographed without wearing her over-the-knee boots in autumn/winter.

Be they flats or heels.

I love that she wears them so casually and gets away with it!

I am personally a big fan of over-the-knee boots, I actually own two pairs, but having said this have only worn them three times since owning both pairs. Which will have been since 2005/6? This is purely because I havent a clue what to wear with them most of the time. I really worry that the look im going for maybe perceived by others and thought of just as the first photo of Julia Roberts in 'Pretty Woman'. Usually I dont care what others think, but I daren't walk down a street at night on my way to a club and be mistaken for something i'm not :o)

All in all though I have to say that I have taken these boots out of their boxes, which are unhappily collecting dust on top of my wardrobe, on a number of occasions over the past few winters with the intent to wear them on a night out. However this year I am determined to actually leave the house with them on!! The key to pulling off this trend is to accessorise correctly and not over do it!!

What I find funny is that I think I may just purchase a pair in brown or tan!! I am loving the folllowing boots....

And then something like these for everyday wear.....

All in all I do believe Vogue have stated a clear fact that over-the-knee boots will be seen around more this year then any other since the 80's! If leggings can make such a huge impact, regardless in some cases of camel toe and cellulite, then why cant over-the-knee boots?!
