Necklaces... Make a Statement

White Statement Necklace - £7.00 Kitsch-Kouture @ ASOS Marketplace

I absolutely adore statement necklaces this season and I can't wait to show you the new pieces which I've have just gone on sale at 'Kitsch-Kouture @ ASOS Marketplace'.  I'm really excited about this white one as the glass stone effect is so unusual, I haven't seen anything like it! I think its really fresh and perfect for light floaty looks as we move into Spring/Summer 2013!  







Silver Ornate Collar Necklace - £6.00 Kitsch-Kouture @ ASOS Marketplace


This silver piece is a more classic statement collar, its ornate with a slight aztec twist. The simple silver means that the necklace will go with almost everything!  Statement necklaces are perfect to add that extra something to your outfit, I love wearing a buttoned up blouse with a large necklace over it! 






Large Spike Necklace - £7.00


My favourite statement necklace to date has to be the large bronze spike necklace, which has also been a bestseller for Kitsch-Kouture!  Its been my faithful companion with many an outfit and I always feel it completes my outfit perfectly!

So if you want to make a statement this season... do it with a statement necklace!

Haul of the Week...

                          

Hello Lovelies! This week I have done what I do best, went shopping! It was not just any shopping though, this was a bargain mid-season sale mission and I have to say it was very successful! I bought quite a lot and only spent £32!!

                         

I have to say that I have wanted these beautiful boots for ages ever since I saw them on the uber-stylish Lily Melrose (llymlrs.com) and they just went into the sale at Primark and I grabbed them for the knockdown price of only £10!  I just love everthing about them they add that rocky edge to a t-shirt and leggings or you could pair them with shorts, tights and a blouse!

             

 I got this cute on trend jacket from Primark and I think this has to be my bargain of the day because it was only £7 down from £19!  I think this jacket is so 'Made in Chelsea' because its very chic but when paired with the rocky 'Rolling stones' t-shirt, its very current!  The material is like a think wool/tweed and I plan to wear it lots as we come into Spring!   


I love this t-shirt because I think it will go lovely with a skater skirt or leather shorts.  If you've not noticed I'm going through a very rock inspired stage, so this is perfect and a steal at only £3 from Primark!



Anyone who know's me know that I'm a sucker for some lace! I saw this in the Matalan sale an for £7 and could not resist! It's very flattering and would be lovely with leather leggings, when going out for drinks!


 This is another skater skirt to add to my ever growing collection and I love the marl effect!  It was from New Look and only £5, they have such a huge fabulous sale on at the moment so I would definitely pop in and have a look if you have some spare cash (or if, like me you literally cannot help yourself!)


Right now, I'm lying on the couch a little bit worse for wear after last nights antics! I'm quite proud of myself though because thus far I've resisted the urge to order a massive take-away! Instead I've been drinking green tea by the gallon in an attempt to get rid of all the toxins!  



I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend! I'll definitely do an OOTd post tomorrow, most likely wearing all the above items at once because I LOVE them!

OOTD 3

Primark 'cold shoulder' jumper:  £7
New Look Jeans:  £12
New Look boots:  £11
Spike Necklace Kitsch-Kouture @ ASOS Marketplace :  £7

I love this outfit although I was a bit chilly in the shoulder area!  I featured this top in my haul last week and I couldn't wait to wear it this weekend!  I think its an absolute bargain at only £7 in the sale!  I actually went shopping again today and went back to Primark and got some absolutely amazing bargains which I'll be putting into my next post!  Primark is so good at the moment and theres so many gems in the sale, get down there now!  My main reason for going shopping was so I could get my lovely Mum a pressie in time for Mother's day next Sunday,  I love treating my Mum and I got her lots but I'm not going to write any more about that incase she has a sneaky peak on here during the week!!



I wore my favourite Spike necklace which is from my jewellery collection, (kitsch-Kouture@ASOS Marketplace) I literally never seem to have this necklace off but it goes with everything! 


Oooh I'm so excited as well because it's my Birthday in a few weeks and my lovely BF ordered these wonder woman Converses for me and I can't wait to get my hands on them!!

Do you like? Hope you enjoyed my wee Sunday post! I'd love for you to subscribe via GFC if you like my little blog!  I'd love to get to 100 followers and have a give away of some of my best selling jewellery pieces!

Hope you all had a fab Weekend!

Little Ebay splurge...

Dripping C's T-shirt  £7.99 - U-neeq_apparel (Ebay shop)

Ok, so those of you who have Paypal know how fantastically easy it is to get a bit click-happy on Ebay and before you know it your buying everything in your wishlist without a second thought! Luckily I managed to    reign myself in and I only bought two absolute essentials (my definition of essentials: something I really really want)

I absolutely love this t-shirt its totally bang on trend because its quite preppy and a bit edgey at the same time! It will go perfect with a skater skirt and leather jacket!  I can't wait for it to arrive, and what a bargain at only £7.99 + £1.99 delivery!!

jacket  £19.75 - Pure Fashion Outlet (Ebay Shop)

I was totally drawn to this jacket because I love contrasting sleeves at the moment, it sounds like such a bizarre trend but I have a khaki jacket which has gold sequin sleeves and I wear it ALL the time! However, I wanted something a little more low key and I spotted this bargain (£19.75 & 2.45 p+p) and simply could not resist! I cant get enough of leather at the moment and camel beige has been a long time love I mean it goes with everything!

I love shopping from the comfort of my sofa, but I hate waiting for the little beauties to arrive! I'll hopefully be featuring them in an OOTD very soon...let me know what you think of my purchases!
                                                                    Hope you enjoyed

Primark Haul...



I have been bad, very bad... but I'm such a sucker for Primark!  I decided to go for a little peek around the shops today as I had training in Bristol which finished early.  Little did I know that Primark was going to have all the new seasons trend in, all with teeny tiny prices! I got this cute 'Dork' t-shirt as soon as I walked in the door, the colour caught my eye because I love candy pink and I love the kitsch block lettering.  It was an absolute steal at £4!  



Anyone who has read this blog before will know that I am obsessed with spikes!  The material is like a thin knitted marl and it is SO soft! It honestly seems like such good quality, for only £8!  I can't wait to to wear this with my leather leggings.


I'm loving this new trend of 'Cold shoulder' tops! I tried on a cold shoulder blouse about a month ago and I didn't get it and I regretted it so much!  So when I saw this beauty in the SALE for £5, I snapped it up.  The lovely photos just don't do it justice so I can't wait to do  an OOTD post with it.


I've been wanting to pick up one of these simple and casual cotton skater skirts for ages!  They are so versatile and they can go from day to night worn with black tights, plain t-shirt, leather jacket and rocky jewellery!  This is another item I can't WAIT to do an OOTD post.


This is just a basic black top, but it has this cute lace detail at the back which gives it a bit of edge!  I think it would go perfectly with the grey skirt!


I know this isn't a dressy item, and I certainly won't be rocking it on Saturday when I go for lunch with the girls! But come on now everybody needs a comfy hoody and this one is so cute and was only £7 in the sale from Tesco of all places! 


I hope you like my little mid week splurge! I certainly enjoyed my mini spree! I'd love to read some comments, and if you leave links of your hauls I'll definitely check them out!

My Make-up Essentials!



I have to tell you that I am an absolute make-up maniac! I will stop at nothing in my quest to create that flawless air brushed yet natural look.  Thus far in my mission I've come across some products which have become absolutely essential for my survival! Its sounds dramatic but its true! enjoy!


First and foremost any make up fanatic worth her salt knows that you need a good primer,  I personally love 'Smashbox photo finish oil free primer' because it soft but not greasy and it gives an amazing matte look in photos! Its a bit pricey at £22 but its totally worth it and a little goes a long way.  

Next, its on with the 'Kick Ass Concealer' by Soap & Glory.  Not only does this little beauty have the cutest packaging but it also is a 3 in 1 deal comprising under eye brightening concealer, regular blemish concealer and a handy little powder for over the top! I've tried many many concealers throughout my spotty teenage years and I can  officially say that this is one of the best, and an absolute steal at only £10.  

When it comes to foundation, it HAS to be Estee Lauder 'Double Wear' foundation, literally no doubt about it I could not survive on this earth without it, believe me I've tried! This foundation sets me back £27.50 but its so worth it, oh god I've gotten through many a rough day thanks to this gem.

Mac 'Skin finish natural Mineralize powder' was introduced to me by the many beauty blogs, because people have been raving about it for ages! I finally caved and bought it a few months ago and I'm very glad I did! People used to say 'oh its really good sometimes I don't even need to wear foundation, just powder' and I was like yeah right you'll have to prize my doublewear foundation out of my cold dead hands...but on the odd occasion I have went out with just a quick swish of this glorious powder! Miracles do happen!

The lipstick of the moment for me is this plummy shade by Clinique which is quite bizarrely called 'perfect pink'  I don't really think its pink but never the less it is fab and only £13!

My two blush/bronze obsessions are 'Hoola' by Benefit £22, (if your a regular you'll have seen my post on this a few weeks ago) which is the newest product to join my essential list!  I've fallen in love with it so quickly because it looks so natural and its not orange or glittery yaaay!!  For the perfect pink glow on the apples of your cheeks, I would definitely recommend illamasqua blusher!  Its only £13.50 which I think is quite good.

It may not be in cute packaging, thus its not in the picture above, but I cannot overlook my trusty Rimmel eyebrow pencil which has been there for me for many years.  It matches up to its pricier rivals and its a bargain at only £2.99! I go NOWHERE without some eyebrow definition. 

I hope you enjoyed my essentials, I would love to hear some of years as I'm always on the hunt for the latest beauty craze!!
