Leather & Lace & All things Nice

Black Lace Cropped Top, Peach Lace Tassle Top, High Waisted Leather Shorts, High waisted Leather Skirt, Black Lace up Ankle Boots - All from H&M, Tooth Necklaces - ASOS, Dragon Claw Necklace - Miss Cherries Boutique

Hey guys, yes I know I went off the radar MEGA. I know I always say this but I have been super busy with starting my new job (which I went from bumming to hating all in the space of 4 weeks! Haha urgh) and other various dramas in my life. Hopefully I'll be back now on a regular basis! Also hi to all my new followers :] ♥ ♥ ♥

Anyway above is what I have been spending my wages on! Definitely a perk to the job!

I FINALLY own some creepers, thanks to them being pretty popular right now they finally brought some out on ebay for a fraction of the cost, I bought mine from this ebay seller, they have loads of different styles, I really want the leopard print ones next!

I went a bit crazy on the leather and then the sun decided to show its face haha. I have been after some high waisted leather shorts for so long, good old H&M fufilled that yearn of mine. They fit like a dream, I never ever ever want to take them off (I'm still wearing them now - just kidding ha) Ive decided when ever im having a crap day all I need to do is to put them on and everything will be fine! 

Anyone else have a feel good piece of clothing?

Put your red dress on, put your lipstick on

  Revlon Matte Lipstick #004 Pink About It - ebay

Saw this lipstick featured on Lily's blog and absolutely loved the colour. I have been after a lipstick that wasn't too much for daytime wear for a while now so quickly snapped this up on ebay (the shade is actually discontinued now but there are some still available on ebay). It was an absolute bargain at £2.99 with free p&p, & came super fast!

As soon as it arrived I tried it out, it was really smooth to apply and left my lips feeling really soft & last for ages (although didn't make its way through eating a KFC haha). The colour is really lovely, brighter than I imagined so I blotted it a bit. Its a pinky orangey colour depending on how much you put on, personally I think its nicer when its a little less obvious.

Hope your all having a lovely week so far, Ive mainly been stuffing my face with KFC & cream cakes, working on the shop & bumming Lana Del Rey!

*Excuse the face Im having major hair & face dramas at the moment!

The Jeffreys

  1. Lita Spike 2. Multi Glitter 3. Black Blue Gold Lace 4. Black Glitter 5. Cosmic 6. Cat Tapestry
7. Purple Suede 8. Black Black Suede

Ive been trying to avoid the Jeffrey trend for a while now, mainly because I can't even walk in your average heel let alone those bad boys! But after seeing the spiked, velvet & Glitter litas, I can avoid them no more *gush* 

These are just a few of my favs from THIS website, I want them all so badly, they would look perfect with skinnies and long chiffon blouses! I'd give my right arm for any of them & my left just to be able to walk in them. Alas I fear I would look like a walking giraffe in them as I am already fairly tall, so until they bring out "tall friendly versions" or until I get over the giraffe thing we won't be meeting anytime soon. 

Or maybe I could just have them as an ornament? Hmmm ....

What are your opinions on the Jeffreys? Are they to big a heel for tall people? And which are your favs?

Asos Jewellery Lust - Spikes & Crosses

1. Cross Earrings 2. Cross Charm Ring 3. Wrapped Claw Ring 4. Tooth Bracelet 5. Tooth Necklace 

6. Spike Bracelet 7. Spike Cluster Ring 8. Spike Drop Earrings 9. 'J' Initial Ring 

I'm having a bit of a spike/cross fetish at the moment, and I noticed that Asos are too. They have so many amazing pieces at the moment its hard to pick! I will definately be buying the tooth necklace, claw ring, & spike cluster ring as soon as I have some pennies.Which will be very soon as I found out today that I got the job at Home Bargains that I applied for. Its not my ideal job, but I need the money, I also had an interview at H&M in Liverpool on Tuesday so fingers crossed I get that job because it would suit me to a tee (and also its an excuse to splurge out on more H&M clothing!).

In other news Bubz & Toffi (House bunnies) still hate each other, there was a drastic moment where Bubz had hold of Toffi's foot the other day :S, no major injuries though! Me and Martyn are still desperately wanting to move out of Manchester to Cardiff, and I have started working on the website for the new jewellery brand. Excited is not the word. Just need to get some more stock & order new business cards and all systems are a go go. Eeep eeep. Also you may have noticed that I have tweeked the blog, wanted something a bit more clean & fresh!

I'm off to Leeds tomorrow with my friend Danielle to visit some Vintage wholesalers, never been to Leeds before so should be a fun day! 

Right off to watch some TV, Chill out & eat! Hope your all having a great week

Topshop Studded Makeup Bag

Vaseline Cocoa Butter Deep Condtioning Body Lotion

Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation In True Ivory

NYC Glamour Eyelashes

Rimmel Exaggerate Liquid Eyeliner - Black

Firstly - Hello to my new followers :] I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I do writing it!

Here are a few of my recent purchases! I seemed to have run out of all the important things in the last few days - typical being Christmas and all!

Spotted this amazing studded Topshop makeup bag on the website and had to have it! It is a bit more than I would usually pay for a makeup bag but its leather and its covered in studs so I think that makes up for it! haha.

Thought I would make the most of vaseline being on offer at superdrug so bought the cocoa butter lotion, ive only ever used the other lotions before & quite fancied this one as I love the smell of cocoa butter. Unfortunately it doesnt smell as intense as i'd hope, infact you can barely smell it at all! Boo

I have been wearing maybelline super stay 24 H for about a year now and quite fancied a change, so I bought rimmel lasting finish. I tried it out earlier but im not sure if I like it, I chose "true ivory" as im quite pale but it makes me look a bit orange, which is so not a good look!

Ive never worn fake eyelashes, but today i spotted these for £1.99 and thought what the heck. I tried them out when I got home and boy are they hard to do! Going to have to watch a few youtube tutorials before I nail that one!

Ran out of my eyeliner the other day which I can't live without!. thankfully it was in the 3 for 2 so I got it for free. So I think I have all the essentials for the party season now. Couldn't find any silver glitter nail varnish though :(

Is everybody nearly all set for the big day? I got the last few things today, town wasn't as manic as I thought it would be, even Primark was a breeze! Picked up a really nice chiffon shirt dress to wear on Christmas day, Martyn has made a ridiculous "im not buying you clothes for Christmas" rule. Which is annoying! So I had to find something to wear. Apologies for the lack of posts I have been super busy, I visited my Mum in Devon for 3 weeks recently which I will be doing a post on soon :]

Merry Christmas everyone!

xoxo

All I want is a place to call my own

Denim shirt - Primark, Ribcage Tee - Topshop. Skirt - H&M, Bag - Carboot, Ring & Necklace - Miss Cherries Boutique, Nail Varnish - Models own : Beths Blue

This is the outfit I wore to go & see A day to remember on tuesday. I always struggle with what to wear for gigs because I always want to look nice but be comfortable at the same time. This is my favourite gig outfit to date. 

The gig was absolutely incredible, we missed the first 2 bands because we went fo a few cheeky cocktails, but managed to watch August burns red, who were quite good although a bit to rawry for my liking! It was jam packed full of emo school children, argh im so old! I have never been pushed about so much at a gig!!

A day to remember put on a hell of a show, they shot out confetti over the crowed & realeased loads of balloons that were tied to the ceiling in a net. At one point the lead singer came out in a massive blow up see-through ball & rolled all over the crowed. Martyn likes to call it zorb-ing. It reminds me of the time George from Alexis crowd surfed in a paddling pool! Have to say its one of the best gigs ive been too! 

Other than that I've not really been up to much, just busy getting the shop ready for Christmas & baking! 

I had major hair dramas the other day (this is why I have done barely any outfit posts!) & decided I had to do something about it, so googled how to cut a side fringe and found this youtube tutorial by a girl called Kandee. Amazingly it worked & wasn't as hard as I thought! I think ive done a pretty good job compared to what it looked like before, & ive saved £40! 

Also check out Kandee's blog for lots of makeup and beauty tips! 

What have you guys been up to this week?

Versatile Blogger Award!

Eeeeep! I have been given my first Versatile blogger award! A massive thank you to the lovely Sam from Sam's notebook for awarding me this! - check out her wonderful blog here! 

 

There are three rules for this award:

1. Thank and link back to the person who gave the award to you.

2. Share 7 things about yourself.

3. Send it along to 5 other bloggers and let them know you have awarded them!

7 Things about moi!

• I am an absolute dreamer, my biggest dream is only a quarter of the way there. This is to run my own shop (after completing my final year on my fashion degree) with my lovely man Martyn, stocked with my jewellery, handmade clothing, cushions & Martyn's future printed t-shirts! (Intrigued? Click HERE). Our aim is to create a lifestyle brand full of quirky unique pieces that you just don't find on the high street! I constantly work my little bum off, which leaves not alot of time for myself (hence the lack of blog posts!) but it will all be worth it in the end! 

• I am a massive animal lover, I have 2 house rabbits whom I love to death despite the holes in my clothes, the teeth marks in my hair straightener wires & the constant rabbit droppings!!

• I have 4 tattoos, my first was a cherry on my chest, kinda regret getting it now as its not been done by the best tattooist in the world & was not how I had envisoned it. The second was an old school anchor on my foot, which I love despite it still not being finished, I got it quite small as I didn't want my Mum to shout at me, I now realise that I should have got it bigger because its there forever anyway & she didnt even end up shouting at all! I will be buffing it out with some rope & colour at some point. The 3rd tat I have are 6 stars on my stomache (3 each side of the belly button) going from big to small, they each represent my 2 brothers & my Mum (Mum being the king star!) & finally my most recent is my absoloute favourite, after years of searching I finally found a decent tattooist! It is a heart padlock & key entwined with ribbon on my forearm. Its the first finished tattoo I have, & was designed for me by a guy called Gre. Unlike alot of tattooists ive come across he is passionate about what he does & is not just in it for the money. I still have alot more plans for tattoos, and will eventually be starting my half sleeve! Its an expensive hobby!

• I am extremely impulsive, im not as bad as when I first moved to Manchester & found out what it was like to be in possession of a student loan, but I still have days where I neeeeed to buy that top or that dress.

• I have constant battles with my stupidly thin hair, I can't seem to do anything with it! Definately the one thing I would change about myself if I could - so if you have any tips & tricks for achieving thick hair that does actually work please advise!

• Im a pretty random person, I love weird people & I love being mischevious. When my 2 best friends come to visit we wreak havoc (no vandalising just random funny antics), oh and I love to laugh  ALOT. If you can make me laugh we'll be friends for life! :]

• You might have guessed but I love talking haha.

And here are the 5 bloggers i'd like to pass on the award too!
