Gold Sparkly Jumper

Jumper - Primark | Jeans - Topshop | Shoes - Vivienne Westwood

Just a quick outfit post today - my usual photo space has been taken over by a TV so I'm on the lookout for somewhere new. I bought this jumper in Primark last week for £12 - the only problem is though that the metallic threads get caught on everything and it's ended up pulled all over the place. Rubbish!!

I can't believe I've never worn these shoes on my blog before (please excuse the dust on them in the photo, they seem to attract it since they're quite rubbery). I've had them for ages and don't get as much wear out of them as I should considering the price tag. I bought them online and went for a size three, I should have gone for a four really as they squeeze my feet so badly!! But on the plus side they smell like chocolate haha!

Wednesday Wishes

Jacket - £58 - Topshop

How quickly does Wednesday come round! Making me realise how crap I am at blogging lately, I only ever seem to post twice a week. I do work a 45 hour week though and when I get home I'm usually knackered and blogging is the last thing on my mind! But I shall try harder as blogging is something I really enjoy.

Anyway, this lovely lovely jacket is at the top of my lust list this week. I went for a wander round Stockton on my day off on Monday (mainly for a look around the charity shops, which turned out to be a bit rubbish) and ended up trying this on in Topshop. I tried on the petite version, not sure why because even though I'm only 5ft2 I never shop in the petite section - I find everything to be stupidly short. Lo and behold the petite version was stupidly short but the fur around the collar was so soft that I just fell in love with it. Come pay day I think I'll be splurging on the regular version.

I did see a similar jacket in Primark a couple of weeks ago, the only difference was that the Primark version had quilted sleeves, and really regret not buying it now as it was only £25, less than half the price of this one. When I popped back in last week though it was gone! Lets just hope they get it back in stock soon!!

It starts in the theatre



Tshirt - Topshop | Leggings - Missguided | Clutch - Primark | Necklaces - Topshop and Primark

I wore this to go out for a meal for my cousins birthday on Saturday night. She wore a hoody so I ended up feeling a little overdressed sat next to her. I'd rather be overdressed than underdressed though!

I had a lovely weekend this weekend. I got my hair cut on Saturday morning, I had a side fringe cut back in. It doesn't look as good today though now that I've washed my hair and done it myself. I hate it when that happens.

On Saturday afternoon me and David went shopping for housey bits, we bought a TV which was an absolute bargain! It's a 43 inch Samsung one and was £300. Let's just hope it fits in our flat!

Yesterday was lovely so we decided to go to the seaside. We went to Redcar and had a walk up and down the beach. To be honest we could have chosen somewhere better, Redcar is being regenerated at the moment and it a complete and utter building site. I can't wait to see what its like when its finished though but I don't think it'll be any time soon.

Speak soon. x

Edit: I'm selling a few bits on eBay if anyones interested

Cream Dress




Dress - Urban Outfitters | Necklaces - H&M and Miss Selfridge | Shoes - Primark



How beautiful is the weather today - I feel like I need to do something outdoorsy. I just wish it was a few degrees warmer, then I could have ditched the black opaques. I've had a quick trip into town today to buy my mum a birthday present and a mothers day present - they're so close together, a few years ago they were on the same day! I was really really good and only spent £8 on myself, all I bought was the Primark version of this Topshop dress. I haven't tried it on yet though, I hope it fits because I tried on the Topshop version and it looked rubbish!

Speak soon xx

What I Bought


Just a quick what I bought post. I've been on a bit of a shopping ban lately because I've got a full years worth of car insurance to pay this month. I couldn't resist a quick trip to the retail park last night though. I'm off to Cyprus in May for two weeks so I'm stocking up on bikinis now. The pink one is from George at Asda and the black one is from Matalan, I'm not so keen on the pink one on though. The grey t-shirt is from Primark, I actually bought it a few weeks ago but haven't worn it yet. It's from the mens section, I usually prefer mens t-shirts to ladies ones as the designs are a bit more edgy. The aztec print vest is from New Look and I'm really loving it. I don't really buy a lot from New Look, nothing ever really catches my eye but this hit me as soon as I walked in the door. It'll be appearing in an outfit post pretty soon.

Sleeveless Shirt DIY

Last Sunday I went shopping and fell completely in love with this sleeveless shirt from Topshop. Although £26 is perfectly reasonable for a shirt for some reason Topshop makes me incredibly stingy, so much of the stuff is overpriced that I always have to scuttle off down the road to Primark for a cheaper alternative. Unluckily Primark didn't really have a lot to offer, at least not until I spotted their sale section when I was on my way to the till. I never really think to check out the Primark sale - it's cheap enough already but a checked shirt caught by eye so I wandered over. Unluckily this shirt had sleeves but it was pretty much the same checked pattern as the Topshop one. I can deal with sleeves I thought, they can easily be removed. So I bought it, for only £3 how could I say no.




The Topshop version didn't have studs but I added them anyway as I can't seem to resist studding things at the moment.
