Today Im wearing

And like promised from yesterday, my new maxi dress again from Missguided and as you might notice yes I do have this dress in every colour. Well, more like three but never-the-less it shows my sheer dedication to this dress! I do always big-up this style of maxi but it's simply fab! Fits so nice, comfortable and only costs £17.99!

New Dress

Yup, I'm still poor but still bought myself a new dress. But it is from Missguided and I had a 20% off discount code. So I just had to buy it.
I'm loving this wine shade at the moment. In fact, I also bought a maxi dress in the exact same colour (tomorrows post shhh!). Think it's a key shade for Autumn/Winter. Are you also digging my frazzled hair I spent an hour on this morning trying to get all the matted knots out of it. I have also ran out of conditioner and due to intensive bleaching and back combing, it's actually pretty fucked.


Dress - Missguided
Shoes - New Look

Haha! I have just realised both my dress and shoes were bought using 20% discount codes . . . I'm the discount queen!

P.S. I'm away to bleach my roots.

My E.L.F Goodies arrived today!

Remember I mentioned that E.L.F had 50% off everything, well I did buy one or two things which arrived today. I haven't read great reviews about E.L.F's packaging methods such as burst bottles, broken lipsticks etc etc. But I did find that they packaged my items really really well.






I haven't properly used any of the items yet only just tested them slightly. There is one or two of the items I am not convinced about such as the lipstick which isn't as pictured (in the picture it was bright, but in 'real life' its very dark and rich). Also, the HD powder is pictured on the website as being clear and light however it does have a strong tan pigment to it. I do however LOVE the brushes and eyeshadow set they work very well together and the eye shadows have a brilliant pigment to them.
All these items should have cost £60+ but only cost me £30ish so I'm pleased with that. At that price you can easily experiment with the brand.

A little about me & today I bought

I've not really been doing much personal posts lately, I really need to get back into doing my 'today I'm wearing' posts etc, etc. So I wanted to do a little post of my favorite things at the moment.


Herbal Tea
I am turning into a herbal tea junky. I first got hooked on the old herbal teas when I was pregnant as apparently raspberry leaf tea helps with pain of labour and induce it . . . It does not! lol. Now I'm loving green tea, peppermint and fennel tea which is supposed to help with my diet (and which I really believe they are helping). Today I bought nettle tea to take on my summer festivals as it apparently helps with hangovers.


Fitting into ALL my clothes
I've lost 11 pounds so far and can now fit into everything in my wardrobe (some things are even to big for me!). So I have loads more choice when getting ready every day!
It's the weight watchers plan I am following, and even though I am dieting, I still get to eat all the things I love . . . within moderation off course.



Anyway, enough about me. Today was a stunning summers day so I went to St Andrews (Scotland) for the day. I originally went for charity shopping but sadly there was nothing that caught my eye, so I ended up in H&M and got a couple items to take with me to T In The Park festival next week.

Oversized racer back vest £4.99

Cardigan £9.99
Pic doesn't look great but is very nice on.

Busy day

Even though Primark is bargain central, I always seem to over spend. Today when I got home with my shopping bags and took everything out, and had actually forgot half the stuff I had even bought. Its like I just wander round the shop throwing pretty much everything and anything into my basket. Although today I do feel I got some really nice stuff for my cash.
I wont bore you guys with my 100 pairs of varied coloured pants..(more like 5 pair). But here is what I got.

The fringed shorts are another item added to my festival wardrobe.

Anyone recognise the similarities of this skirt to the one in Topshop..This one is a fraction of the price though. 




Also guys, I cant comment on any blogs or even my own. Any advice on how I can fix this?

If you haven't got this.....get it!

I have finally opened my eyes to Topshops make up range. I recently bought two nail polishes and they are amazing, can hand on heart say these are the best polishes I have ever used.

At the weekend I snatched up one from the new metallic range and to be honest I wasn't expecting much from it, but it is sooo pretty and a bargain at £5.00.

There is so many shades to choose from. So get one!

My vintage find

It has been a long, long time since I have found a decent vintage treasure. I'm feeling that a lot of vintage shops and markets just put any crap on their rails at the moment so when I found this 70's dress when shopping in Edinburgh on Saturday I had to buy it. And guess how much it was . . . £24.00! Fully lined and no imperfections at all!
I'm thinking I might shorten it a little, probably get a little more wear out of it I think.

I'm very much loving missguided

I'm very much loving missguided at the moment. This past year my financial outgoing are not great with leaving work and going back into study, so Ive been really good at finding fashion on a budget. I have seen loads of advertisements for the missguided website, so thought I would give it a try and bought this lovely dress.


Bought it the other week for going out for my friends birthday, looks really good on (very vintage inspired) and a bargain at £25. not only a bargain price but super fast delivery with 10% discount for new customers!

There's a few other items I'm wanting of the website, so think I will have to treat myself next month for my birthday.

Mini Primark spree

Hey Guys
Sorry for my lack in posts lately had a few things on my plate, but my posts will be back on track soon. Anyway I managed to squeeze in a little shopping trip. I thought I would show you a few little items I got from Primark.
LOL how tacky does my pink bra set look (bit of a Jordan number huh), was only £5.00 though... Got the belt for £1.00 and the dress for a cheeky £5.00.

Got these two satchel bags for £7.00 each!Bargain!!!
This pic is terrible, I spent 20mins trying to upload the pics and for some crazy reason they will not co-operate. .

Great days shopping, saw loads but tried really hard not to just grab everything.

yum!

 Today Ive been feeling a little under the weather, so had to come home and go straight back to bed this morning. So after a good nap, a few painkillers and some red bull I had to go and pick up the wee man from nursery. But on the way I popped into the chemist for some remedies to get me back on my feet. . .  as you can see I got myself some nail polish and a chocolate mask.
Just really wanted to let you guys know how lovely this face mask was, smelt AMAZING and I still smell it on my skin 2hours hater. It has such a lovely thick texture, spreads along the skin really lovely and one sachet can prob be 2-3 applications. Best part still to tell you all. . . it only cost £1.00




Was so tempted to take a pic of it on, but didn't want to freak any of you out lol.

Also the nail polished i picked up were the Barry M 311 nail effects (crackle), Barry M 303 fuchsia and Barry M 150 red glitter (one of my fave polished ever)

New shoes


Last weekend when I was away my boyfriend forgot to pack my shoes for me! I know I should have really packed them myself but I'm a terribly busy lady....lol. Anyway like I said he forgot to pack them so we had to search for a shop to get a pair for me to wear. We came across a New Look where I bought these block wedges, and got to say they are sooo unbelievably comfy!!!
Looking at them they're a shoe ill go from one day loving the look to the next day hating then back to loving them, but for now I'm completely in love with them! Plus just noticed they're reduced to £15.00 now! so highly recommend

Also got a delivery from ASOS today, which was this owl necklace I've had my eye on for ages and the peace sign bracelets. Picked up a very pretty blue china glaze nail polish (looks very nice on).

And, finally I popped into Next and got these lovely brogues for..£28.00 BARGAIN!

To Jump

Ive been considering buying a jumpsuit for so long now, but had the massive concerns to whether ill look like I'm wearing my PJ's, will it look too tight on me and will it fit me in length.
Long story short i bought it, not yet tried it on (fear i think, in case i hate it) But it does look very pretty huh.
India Floral Print Jumpsuit
Purchased it from www.boohoo.com and it only cost a cheap as chips £18. Never bought anything from boohoo before its never been a website that has interested me until now. The only down sides is their sizing method on a lot of clothing, its either s/m or m/l. Also i bought it 3days ago then received a email today giving free delivery......i could have saved £3.99 lol.
