OOTD 009.

Blouse:  H&M £12.99
Shorts:  H&M £12.99
Boots:  New Look £11

Sorry I've been so AWOL in the last few weeks.  Very bad blogger, slap on the wrists!  I've had the best weekend ever because I was visited by my lovely best friend from University, Kathy!!  I hadn't had a girls night out in a while, considering I'm now shacked up with the BF, so we decided to push the boat out and go a little bit mental! Hope you enjoy the pics, they are not my usual OOTD style but then again I haven't been on tequila in my usual OOTD's so there you go!

Still slightly respectable for a Friday night!
I went for full on 'night out' make-up as I was wearing the brighter than bright leopard print shirt I thought it would go perfectly with my Mac pink 'Nicki Minaj' lipstick (£13) paired with crazy long false eyelashes which I buy in bulk on Ebay (absolute bargain)


 I wanted my hair to have a kind of 60's beehive style but I think I'm a bit rubbish at back combing but I quite like the messy look so I was quite happy trying something different from my usual wavy style!
Here she is the one and only party starter...Kathy!
My delightful friend Kathy (aka Dave) wore a floral brocade style Topshop dress paired with an H&M denim jacket and freaking amazing studded chelsea boots (very jealous) from Office!  Doesn't she have the best hair with not an extension in sight, I have a great deal of hair envy!!


Besties out on the town!

OH DEAR!

Spring Haul...

Oooh I've had such a lovely day Easter Sunday! 

I think pastel pinks, greens and blues are perfection in spring so as its pay weekend I HAD to go shopping and fill up my wardrobe ready for the season ahead!  I  ended up getting some absolutely amazing  sale bargains!  Lots of the mid season sales have began this week including River Island, so it was the perfect time to whip out the lovely £50 voucher that I got for my Birthday (best gift ever).  Anyway I hope you like what I got, check it out...

Jacket: £10  H&M
Pastel top: £5  H&M
Studded Handbag: £25  River Island





These shoes obviously aren't new, if you've ever read this blog you'll know that I am obsessed with these aldo studded shoes, but I included them in the picture because I thought they matched perfectly with this handbag!  I love big bags and I'm loving studded studded stuff at the moment, plus it was reduced from £50 to £25! BARGAIN!!!

Pointed Court Shoes:  £20  River Island

I love love love these shoes, I've been looking for a pair of classic pointed court shoes to wear with leather trousers and cigarette pants and these are perfect and an absolute steal at only £20! 


Tweed Blazer: £20  River Island

Usually I would try and limit the blazer buying to one per shopping trip but I had to push the boat out and buy this coral marl tweed blazer from River Island for only £20! Its quite casual and will be lovely on a summer day with denim jeans and a white blouse.  It's so comfy and I can just tell I'll be wearing it loads in the lead up to summer!!

Anyway those are my purchases and I cant wait to do an OOTD post with some of these lovely items! I'm now having a lovely night in eating a lindt bunny with no guilt because its Easter and it would be rude not to!  Hope you have all have a lovely Easter!

Liebster Award :)





 I was so happy to find out that I've been nominated for the liebster award by the lovely Stephanie over at Vidathings blog!  For those who have not heard of this little award, it is a fab way for new bloggers with less than 200 followers to big each other up and generally spread the love! I have really loved my little blog since I started back in January and it's lovely that other bloggers have commented and enjoyed my posts! A big thank you to Stephanie for nominating me, so everyone check out her fantastic blog and lets all share in some blog love!!

So here's the 5 rules of the Liebster award...


  1. You should share 11 things about yourself
  2. Answer the 11 questions that the tagger gave you
  3. Nominate 11 blogs with under 200 followers for the liebster award
  4. Think of 11 questions to ask your nominees
  5. Thank the lovely blogger who nominated you
So here goes...
11 Things about me...
  • I have a degree in Psychology and Criminology
  • I am obsessed with US reality TV especially any of the Real Housewives franchise
  • I have one little bow tattoo on my foot and I would like to maybe get more
  • I love Pomeranian dogs and I hope that I can get one and call it Mr Chow (random I know)
  • I love the Union jack flag and have about 10 union jack cushions, throws, pictures all over my house!
  • I love Wagamamas, especially Teryaki Chicken Donburi.
  • I am obsessed with the Hunger games trilogy, I've read the books and seen the film 5 times!
  • I am very spontaneous and love to do crazy things at the drop of a hat!
  • I'm such a night owl, I could literally stay up till about 3am before I'm tired.
  • Although I'm a new blogger, I can't go a day without checking out my stats, such a nerd!
  • I am obsessed with leather and studs at the moment and I actually find it hard to go a day without them!
1.  How do you love spending your time?

It sounds like such a cliche but I love shopping with the girls! I honestly believe it is the best type of therapy, going
out for a full day of shopping with a lovely lunch and some necessary coffee breaks!  I also absolutely adore spending
time with my Family even more so now since I live away from home now!

2.  Two clothing items that you can't live without?

I could not live without my leather studded biker jacket from River Island, I've had it for over 3 years and I swear it has 
never went out of fashion! It goes with everything!  The other items are a little newer but I'm equally as obsessed and 
that is any and every blouse I own, all my friends are baffled as to why I'm so in love with them but I am and I'm not 
sure when this love affair will end! 

3.  What can people learn from your blog? Or what do you want them to?

Hmmm, that's a tricky one! I'm not sure what people will learn but I hope they enjoy my blog and perhaps find a new
found love for accessories, as I love shoes, jewellery and handbags! I have my own collection of jewellery which I sell 
on ASOS Marketplace so perhaps people will learn about up and coming jewellery trends! Overall I hope they enjoy 
my little blog!

4.  If you could pack your bags right now and move to another city, which one would it be?

I would 100% without a shadow of a doubt, move to NYC! I have had this desire to flee there for many, many years 
and although I have never been I just KNOW that I would love it! Having been a Sex and the city fan for many years 
I obviously have been obsessed with this fashion capital! Plus I love the idea that a city has the power to make or
break you!

5.  If you could meet one famous person, who would you choose?

I would probably say that I would meet Tina Fey! This may seem a bit random but I adore 30 Rock and I have literally
seen every episode at least 4 times, I also read her autobiography and think she is absolutely hilarious!

6.  A sunny day at the beach or a cold, snowy day at the mountains?

Definitely a sunny day at the beach! Being from Scotland, I've had enough cold days to last a lifetime.  Bring on the
sunshine!!

7.  Most amazing thing, memory or day of your life?

There have definitely been a few, but the memory that sticks out in my mind is my graduation ceremony last year!
All my family were there and they were really proud and I was also proud of myself! I worked so hard to get my 
degree and I felt like all my late nights at the library paid off.

8.  Favourite scent?

I love Chanel 'Coco Mademoiselle' its such a classic and elegant fragrance! Its quite a polarising scent, you either
love it or hate it!

9.  Describe your style in 3 words

Classic, fun, highstreet

10.  What is the motto of your life?

I don't really have one but I'd say 'live the life you love, love the life you live' is one that I really like! My friend had the 
best motto which she lives by which is 'feel the fear and do it anyway' I think its fab and often think of it when I'm 
frightened of making a big step in life.

11.  What is your favourite beauty product?

My all time favourite beauty product in Estee Lauder Double wear foundation, it is a an absolute lifesaver and covers
multitude of sins!

Now my Questions...

1.Who is your style icon?
2.Designer or high street style?
3. What is your must have item for this season?
4. heels or flats?
5. What is your favourite thing about blogging?
6. What are the 5 best words to describe yourself?1.
7. What is your favourite high street store?
8. do you prefer summer fashion or winter fashion?
9. What is your 'can't survive without' make-up product
10. When it comes to food, are you a sweet or savoury girl?

OOTD 008.


Sorry for the repetitive OOTD post but I just wanted to show how obsessed I am with this cardigan!  This time I wore it with my brand new leopard print blouse which I know I'll be wearing all season its so bright and bang on trend for SS13! 



I was having a total lazy hair day today, so I just wore it tied back but I still think the ombre makes the style cute!  Hope you all have a lovely weekend, unfortunately I'm working bleeuurgh!!

Blouse:  £12.99 H&M

Stud Pumps:  £32 Aldo
Handbag: £32 Next
Wishbone Necklace:  £4  Kitsch-Kouture @ ASOS Marketplace

Ooh, what a lovely sunny day its been today! I'm so glad the horrible winter weather seems to be on its way out! For the first time in a while I actually went out without a jacket.  I wore this amazing electric blue cardigan from bank which I got in my spree on Saturday! I absolutely love it, you cant really see in the pics but it has a gold chain detail which runs round the edge.  It's such a lovely feature piece, so you can pair it with a simple blouse and jeans and it looks perfect!


I wore this cute wishbone necklace as well, it's so dainty and it's also one of my pieces on sale at Kitsch-Kouture @ ASOS Marketplace.  I love it because it's simple and an absolute bargain at £4!

Yaay for the sunshine! Bring on the Summer!

Birthday OOTD


Black blouse:    £7.99 H&M
Necklace:         £7 Kitsch-Kouture @ ASOS Marketplace
Skirt:                £12.99 H&M
Boots:               £11 Newlook

So it was my Birthday this week, I just turned 24 and I had so much fun!  My lovely BF cooked me dinner and I went on a total spree (haul post to follow!)  Anyway this is what I wore out last night for my Birthday drinkies.  I love this skirt, it was such a bargain but it would look amazing in day and night and the swallow design is so kitsch and cute! The black blouse is an absolute style staple and a must for any capsule wardrobe!


I teamed this outfit with this white statement necklace which is my part of my Kitsch-Kouture collection @ ASOS marketplace.  check it out here!!  It featured in my last post and I think it is the perfect statement necklace for this season

I loved this outfit, monochrome is definitely a favourite option for me. It's simple but so cute!  I had a fab night but I'm feelinga bit fragile today! Think I'm going to have a cosy movie night tonight! Hope you all had a lovely weekend! I really want to get to 100 followers so I can have a give away!
