SALE SHOPPING

♥ I am very sad to say Christmas is over for me and I'm back in Manchester with its lovely rainy weather! Not cool! But to cheer myself up I have been online sale shopping ♥

I managed to get a new leather jacket with two coloured arms from Nasty Gal. To go with this jacket I bought some mono print jeans from Motel and a black and white 'I LIKE YOU' cropped sweater by Wildfox from ASOS. My favourite purchase are the Jeffrey Campbell shoes - furry boots I love them! The nail wraps are from Topshop.com and the ring and headband are from River Island.
 
Hope you guys got some great sale buys this season!

NEEDLEPOINT

Cross-stitch and tapestry is something you normally associate with your Grandma, but for Autumn Winter 12/13 this trend had made it's way onto the catwalks - from Valentino with pretty full dresses to Balmain with sweaters and shirt prints. I have fallen in love with this trend and decided to purchase this dress from ASOS (which is in the sale ASOS Dolly skater Tapestry dress) It is a gorgeous full tapestry dress which makes any figure look good - this is actually one of favourite buys this year!

ANIMAL LOVE!

I am back from my my little birthday trip away and came home to some gorgeous new leopard print wedge trainers - and just had to show you guys! They are a sale buy from Nasty Gal by Jeffrey Campbell - I fell in love with them as soon as I saw them. The dress is from Topshop and the winter warmer sweater is from H & M which I bought for my cold trip to Stockholm.

PARTY!!!

Christmas party ideas and wishlist . . .




My work's Christmas party is just over a week away and I have nothing to wear!! Eeek so I have selected a few ideas of dresses from ASOS. I have found some gorgeous pieces of jewellery from ASOS premium, even if I don't buy them for the party they WILL be going on my Xmas wish list.

My favourite outfit is the all over sequin Motel dress - I love the greeny/blue colours of the sequins, but I also love the ASOS sequin skater dress, a little bit over budget but soooo worth it.

As for the shoes and bag, I am not one for matching to my outfit - in fact I love a good mis-match with the shoes and bag. To top it all off an over-the-top statement piece of jewellery.

So what do you guys think??? let me know! :)

XOXO

TRICK OR TREAT . . .

So I have been working my socks off at work and it's been sooooo busy I've been a little down so to cheer myself up I did some shopping. I was doing some research for work and came across this gorgeous stain glass window skull print from ASOS, I have actually fallen in love with this! The PU pants are from H&M (which is a favourite shop of mine - if you haven't noticed) I just love a good pair of leather trousers, the quality is great and these are a steal! My necklace and boots are both old but go lovely with this outfit. I've definitely chosen TREAT over TRICK this Halloween! :-)

TEED WAREHOUSE

I have had a mad weekend, this outfit is from Friday night. I went to The Warehouse Project for the Halloween special where Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and Huxley was DJing. They were amazing and the new warehouse venue is better than the last.

I spotted this dress in H&M, it was a steal at only £12.99!! and the necklace is also from H&M - love my neon brights. The rings I have featured on here before and my boots are from River Island two years ago, but perfect to wear for dirty rave :)

Hope everyone had a fun, spooky Halloween weekend :-O

BARGAIN HUNT!

I've been good over this weekend and I've not gone out and tried to save some money but instead I went shopping and treated myself to some bargains in town. The acid wash jeans are from H&M, the skull foil print tee from Primark and the blue and silver gem necklace from H&M. The boots are my old favourites, so saved a little bit of cash :)

TUNESDAY . . . MISS GOULDING

A beautiful new song by Ellie Goulding that I can not keep out my head! She is definitely bouncing back with this new album - with her new hairstyle and quirky dress sense in this video. Think she must have had some inspiration from her current boyfriend Skrillex. ;-)

DENIM ON DENIM

I am loving the throw back to 90's trends for Autumn/Winter 12/13. The fear of double denim is not entirely irrational. I can't honestly pretend it is an easy look to carry off. You don't want to end up looking like a retro cowboy. 
Here I have teamed a light denim shirt with my darker denim Levi shorts, costume bracelet and skull necklace. To finish it all off I have worn my favourite pair of wedge trainers.
