Mayday Mayday, The Ship Has Hit The Rocks Again

2009-03-13T23:29:00.007Z

Ahhh just watching Comic Relief, the little clips are sooooo heartbreaking, seeing the outnumbered, Ricky gervais & Steven merchant, and royle family sketches make me laugh so much!!! I'm such a big fan of the royle family, I probably watch it at least once a week as a my bed time dvd.

I wore my Dahlia dress last saturday, i went to a gig, and stayed there after for the usual room 101 metal night. My Dahlia dress was a bit of a hit! A reallly hot guy was smiling at me then came up to me to say he really liked my outfit, and I looked really different to all the other girls :) (i was wearing it with black knee high socks and flat brogues). Another hot guy came up to to say he really liked what I was wearing, and said it was quite Gothic Lolita, and another guy said 'I'm not a pervert but i like your dress'. I don't think I've ever had random boys come up to me to say they like what I'm wearing.

This was today's outfit, I got the cuteeee tee recently from new look, only £8!

For work today

And earlier tonight for a few ciders with an old friend

I don't really drink that often, and no dinner meant one and a bit Bulmers left me a bit tipsy!

Eeeek I'm going to Birmingham tomorrow afternoon till sunday evening, it's been a month since the major disaster that was valentines day!

Beautiful Day Without You

2009-03-05T22:12:00.006Z

This pretty dress will soon be gracing my wardrobe

Dahlia Broderie Anglaise Oversized Collar Dress-£58.75
I used used the Look discount code to get 20% off, I also got some burgundy tights, both plus postage came to about £53. The discount ends on monday I think? So make sure to use the code 'asoslook' (I think that's right?!) pretty quickly!

I also got these topshop shoes to replace my battered brogues.

It's almost the weekend!!! I've been doing so many big mail outs and editing papers to go into journals, its so tedious! You know when your doing the same thing over and over, you just get really frustrated and agitated. Tomorrow I have to fill about 400 envelopes, each with 12 journals. I seriously can't wait for the weekend. I'm going out on Saturday night with my sister, looking forward to it lots.

I Wanna Talk Tonight..Until the Morning Light

2009-03-02T21:35:00.004Z

Hmmm, my weekend was not as productive as I had hoped! After work on Friday I popped into town to buy magazines. Saturday I pretty much did nothing, I watched Friends and Come Dine With Me in bed whilst eating crisps. Sunday, I went into town and got a couple of Cd's and DVDs, yummy tiffins from Salisbury's and make up and toiletries. The pics of what I wore are pretty awful!!! I need to buy a new flash for my camera, plus my main light and one of my lamps bulbs blown during the weekend.

I Can't Read Lips

2009-02-26T21:53:00.006Z

I promise to be better at posting, for lent I won't give anything up, I'll just give more posts.
I haven't really done much exciting things, just work work work. Tomorrow is pay day, and I am trying to be good with my money this month, I have no idea how I spent so much money with my last pay!!! I do intend on buying a big stack of magazines straight after work tomorrow, I can't wait!

I want to get my hair cut again, overall it still feels too long! I accidentally had my hair undercut the last time, half of the back of my head was really shaved!!!! Its growing quite quickly though, you my kinda be able to see it in one of the pics.
Does anyone have exciting plans for the weekend??? I'm doing nothing, I fancy being creative though.

Tutti Frutti

2009-02-14T04:37:00.003Z

I've had an amazing night with my two best friends, one of them is leaving for Oz on Monday, so tonight is last last time I'll be seeing her for ages, I need to save up to see her. She has just left mine and I didn't want tonight to be about goodbyes, because it's not. We did have a teary moment tonight, and it was really sad. I haven't really posted mi8ch recently because I needed to focus I've felt a bit down about things.
Oh, there was a real hottie out tonight, he was pretty, and on par with freddie from skins!!!! I think he may have been gay though. So beautiful he was.

Happy Valentines Day!!!!

I have some lovely pics from the night to show when she uploads then

Its almost 5am, and I need to be up at 7.30am to get the train to Birmingham to see the ex boy. Have an amazing day with your love, best friends or family. XXXXXX

The One

2009-02-10T20:48:00.004Z

I haven't posted in soooo long, I've really missed blogging.
In the past month not much has happened really, just been working hard and not getting enough sleep.
My 'relationship' is still complicated. My best friend is moving back to Australia on Monday, I don't even want to think about it.
I've also been going through the typical rubbish start to the year where I've been really uninspired and bored of all my clothes.

I went to Birmingham on Saturday with ex boy, I had small amount of time to buy this old lady dress for £3, it's knee length so I've tucked it over a belt.

Cover me with kisses baby Cover me with love

2009-01-05T23:48:00.007Z

I hope you all are having a lovely 2009 so far. Back to work for me again today, I was so so tired after not working for two weeks. I should of really had an early night tonight.

First off, I'm crap at doing my links, and I'm sure theres some that are meant to be up but are not. So let me know if your missing.

New years eve....well I decided not to got with a pretty dress as I went to Carling (now o2) Academy.....everytime I end up with blackcurrant stains on my clothes. So I went with big tee, high waisted shorts, tux jacket and stripe tights. I got hideously drunk, have so many black memories from the night, I think I'll be off the booze for a while.

This was sunday for me (plus coat, hat, snood, scarf, arm warmers, gloves).
I have some other things to show you tomorrow...my old lady lampshade dress, I am too tired to post the pics now.
Night night.

Better Than Heaven

2008-12-30T23:33:00.008Z

This week has gone way too quickly! Tomorrow is New Years Eve, I'm still not sure on what exactly I am doing.
I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas day. Mine was nice, lots of eating, plus evening time naps. I've consumed soooo much chocolate, pretzels, nuts and crisps.
I finally ventured to the sales on Sunday, didn't really find anything worth spending my money on except perfume, shorts, and tights. I could not sleep at all so I watched Sixteen Candles and Almost Famous. On Monday I went to get my haircut, the girl who usually does it has moved on so I was a bit nervous about somebody else cutting it. It's not exactly how I usually like it, but its fine. Then I went to Reading to see him in the evening (he worked all the from 8pm Sunday till 6am Monday so he could skip working 7-11pm Monday for me to see him earlier..). I wore a black floaty smock dress with my other pair of floral tights, black patent ankle boots and my mac (the rechargeable batteries from my camera are completely dying on me so I haven't been able to take any outfit pictures). We lazed about, got up so so so late today, but it was nice to do nothing.

I wore this at some point over a week ago for drinkies, I have no pictures to post so this will do!

Tomorrow I will be buying new rechargeable batteries, exciting. Maybe some mixers for booze, we have plenty of alcohol at home but not enough juice and fizzy. I may also pop to a couple of vintage stores to see if I can find a pretty dress to wear.
Otherwise it will probably be one of these two:

I'm so so tired (even though I got out of bed at about 4pm?!) goodnight....sweet dreams x

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket....

2008-12-25T01:26:00.006Z

Happy Christmas! I hope you all have a lovely day. I've just got home for a few drinks. Will I make it to Christmas Mass in the morning?! I still have gifts to wrap!!!!

Flickr

Love Actually is on, Ive missed half of it so may have to watch the dvd tonight, or perhaps Santa Clause The Movie.

*edit*
here is what I wore tonight....I just took the pics, my battery was almost dead, so they are not the best. I also wore almost the same thing (minus the faux fur collar) whilst meeting him last night. We had a lovely time, I think he got a bit annoyed when I started singing High School Musical songs to him this morning to wake him up. I should be seeing him Monday, and also getting my haircut.

Constant illuminations

2008-12-22T22:44:00.004Z

Hurrah! I got paid a nice fat four figure sum today, I was meant to be Christmas shopping but got a bit too much things for myself. Whoopsy.
Shopping again tomorrow, I must write a list of things I actually need to buy for people.

I got 6 new massive rings. How bad?! But my best friend got me two of them so I'll get them as a gift.

My big sister is staying at Christmas, so it means I have to have the sofa bed in my room, just when I had a new picture corner!

I've been tidying my bedroom, which is taken forever! Did anyone watch Russell Brand's Christmas Ponderland last night?! 'I fink angels are sexy'. That show always makes me laugh extremely loud!

Black Bubblegum

2008-12-21T18:19:00.007Z

First off, the cutesy Blue Ring has tagged me. 6 things that make me happy, I may have done this one before, but I like listing little random things.. I'll leave it as an open tag if anyone wants to do it.

1.The sweet sweet comments you lovely little things give me.
2.Seeing him.
3.Funny times with my family.
4.Being silly with my best friend, I will miss her so so so much when she moves back to Australia for uni next month
5.When cats clean then face with their paws.
6.Films with happy endings.

Yesterday:
I went to town with my brother and our fake brother to do some Christmas shopping (they made me come with them) we ended up having lunch, and went in about 3 shops....they are so useless! I watched TV, ate toasted sandwiches, tried to tidy some more, wrote lists of things I need to buy, read a pile of magazines and ate lots of chocolates.

Today I watched animal documentaries, made rice pudding, watched some like it hot, wrapped Christmas presents, took photos, made a few gifts.

Fingers crossed my pay goes into my bank account tomorrow! If I get a cheque I will probably cry! Or beg my brother to borrow some money.

When I’m home alone I just dance by myself

2008-12-20T17:38:00.004Z

It's finally holiday time! I'm not back at work until the 5th of January, I can actually enjoy a nice lie in now.

Just a couple of pics with my new tux jacket, and my £10 studded booties!

I still have sooo much Christmas shopping to do!!!! I think I'm going to Reading tomorrow to see 'him' as he's back home now. We had a really long talk on the phone last night. He thought I liked someone else. I thought I made it clearly obvious that I only like him. It makes things so much better knowing how each other feels. Who knows what will happen now. I think he's coming to Oxford on Tuesday to, to stay at mine.
Last night I drank Snowballs, yummy yum. The most festive drink you can get.
I'm still in the middle of sorting out my bedroom, I have tonnes more space, but piles of clothes/rubbish everywhere!

Tell me you love me....Come back and haunt me..

2008-12-15T21:17:00.005Z

Sorry for being so awful at updating things recently! I'm still adjusting to the new job, its going good though. I'll be working up until Friday, then I will be off work till the 5th of January.....cannot wait!!!

The conference in Leeds was good, it basically involved lots of food really, plus boring seminars. On the last night it was so funny watching all the oldies on the dance floor, pissed. I only quickly made a trip to h&m, I got a lovely cropped tuxedo jacket, so a photo of that to come soon.

I've also been really sorting out junk in my bedroom, so at the moment I my floor is covered in piles of stuff. I can't take any outfit photos because its such a tip. I had to take a break from it tonight to watch Nigella, I love watching her Christmas programmes so much.

I'm hoping this week I will catch up on blogging, next week I will makes sure to post lots, and read lots. I will get round to reading all of your lovely posts tomorrow when I get home from work. With a bowl of rice pudding. It will be perfect. Goodnight x

Afew inspiration images.

2008-12-08T22:25:00.005Z

The weekend was filled with:cadburys apricot crumble.cuddles.odd dreams.staying in.the office.layer cake.gareth keenan impressions.peanut butter on toast.cookies.the x factor.doing sudoku puzzles in bed.cooking programmes on BBC i player.blueberry and honey shampoo.laughing.tickle fights.smiles.good vibes.being warm and cosy.stripey duvet snuggles.
We stayed in from Friday-Sunday night, it was nice. The train journey home was so dull. But the walk home was pretty, the frost on the pavement sparkled, it was magical.

Today was horrible getting up, I wanted to go back to sleep. Work was good though, the new job is going well. I work with lovely people. Every Tuesday theres a cake morning with free cakes and pastries for staff. Tomorrow I will eat lots of yummy cake. Then at 1 we finish early to go to a conference in Leeds, till Thursday. So I may make a sheduled post tonight.

Friday this is what I wore to go and see him

I got this polka dot bustier/corset thing the other week...not quite sure what to wear it with.

New dress...I may return it. It's a big too big on the bust.

Embrace your sleeping sweetheart with hush, And the words I love you mean so much

2008-12-05T18:36:00.004Z

Sorry for the lack of posts! Last weekend I went to Birmingham straight after work on Friday, stayed till Monday night(had an lovely lovely time), started my new job on Tuesday, it's been a tiring week!!! I'm getting a train to Birmingham in 1hr30mins, and coming home Sunday. I need to charge my batteries for my camera, and then I will have some outfit/purchase pics to show. Till then I'll just use some oldish pics. Have an amazing weekend :) I'll hopefully get a chance to read some blogs in Birmingham!!!

I act stupid, due to cupid.

2008-11-26T23:03:00.003Z

Missing someone is the worst feeling ever....I'm seeing him on Friday night...I feel a bit scared. Me and him have spoke lots this week, it's been really nice.

Oh, these are my new Monikapolitan glasses. I love them, they are so like ones my mum had in the 80s....with her perm!

You're telling me that you're lonely.

2008-11-26T01:16:00.007Z

Today has been quite good, I went into work, there had been a power cut so I was sent home, and still get my full pay. I just wish I'd made more of my day, I started tidying, but it didn't really get far, I managed to put everyone from my floor on to my bed, hoover, and it's still on my bed now.

Anyway here's what I wore today. Note, I NEVER wear jeans, but I did for a few hours today. This is way too boyish for me, but it was warm, and fine for staying at home.

I noticed specks of glitter on my floor, in an area which I'd hoovered about 20 mins before. I like to think it's magical fairy dust.
You can just about make out the dots.....

I found these in the back of my wardrobe :)

2008-11-24T23:53:00.003Z

I hope everyone had a lovely Monday, can Monday's ever be good?!
I had planned to catch up with blogs over the weekend, I ended up not really using the computer though (little brother had lots of work to do).
On Saturday I had a long lie in, then popped into town to buy some nice snacks, and a nice new mug. Here is what i wore, quite trashy/trampy (I showed my ex boyfriend a pic of the coat, his reply was 'need a lift darlin?' haha!').

I watched The X Factor, had yummy sweet potato risotto for dinner, and baked apricot and white chocolate biscuits.

On Sunday I watched films while snuggled up in bed, started my attempt at one of Camille's shredded tees. It's really hurting my head, I get really annoyed with painstaking things like this. It looks really good though, although Camille does a much better job! I also baked some pretty cakes with pink and blue icing and coloured sprinkles and hearts.

Friday is my last ever day at work! Also payday, so a shopping trip is in order, I have a huge lack of clothes. I', so so so tired, hopefully tomorrow I will finally get round to reading lots of your blog entries. Good night, sweet dreams.

You've had me at the top of the pile...And then had me kissing the ground

2008-11-21T23:17:00.006Z

I am so in love with my new dress!
It's pretty long.

I plan to double of the skirt, so its short and super puffy like this :)

Feeling happy

Something from last weekend
Mid sneeze pic!

I handed in my resignation letter today at work, only week one left to go now. I'm so so happy its finally the weekend, again!

Ready for the fall.

2008-11-21T01:20:00.004Z

Hello lovely people, sorry for the lack of posting this week! I've been feeling a bit rubbish and sad all week. I've had no energy at all. I had a job interview today, I thought it went sort of okay, when i got home i had a snooze, received a voicemail, I got the job!!!!! It's for an apprentice admin assistant at Oxford Brookes University, and the pay is pretty decent too.

Tomorrow evening I shall post, I have the prettiest dress to show you, it's like a princess dress. Pink, lace, and satin. I will also catch up with all your blog posts I've missed this week :) I'm looking forward to this weekend, I plan to tidy my room, bake lots of pretty cakes and cookies, and maybe a bit of diy.

To pretty the post a bit, how sweet is this collar from LouLou Loves You!

The stars looked like burning sparks

2008-11-16T20:14:00.005Z

The weekend went far too fast for my liking. Friday night I had plenty of ice cream and chocolate. Saturday i tidied, tried on clothes, watched the x factor, had a nap, went out. Cheeky vimto, sequin trousers, faux fur coat, big jewellery, dancing, hugs, glasses, blazer, brothers tshirt, veggie burger and chips.

Yes, Im wearing as trashy as can be my brothers hooters tshirt that i ripped the sleeves off of, my friend Shaun did point out the fact that I obviously have nothing in the chest area. I'm glad. It's a bit hard to wear something pretty to Carling, blackcurrant stains always appear, or dirty floor stains. They ruined my white camisole last week from when fell over.

Yesterday I woke up late, felt quite a bit ill(hangover), ate lots of food, watched hollyoaks repeats at 2am.

I didn't want to be at work today, but seeing that the new issue of Pop had arrived made me very happy.

Now I'm off to read Pop in bed, whilst watching Peter Rabbit and eating homemade jam tarts. My aim is to wake up early tomorrow, get my fringe trimmed, make pancakes and hot chocolate for breakfast, and catch up with lots of blogs. It will be perfect.

Look at this trove.Treasures untold.How many wonders can one cavern hold?

2008-11-14T01:30:00.006Z

I don't know if I should keep this Topshop sale skirt.

2008-11-13T01:27:00.012Z

This week has been so dull. Work, work work. Also hunting ebay for pretty things to make mine. Today I got a letter in the post, I have an interview for the job I applied too. Thursday next week, so fingers crossed. Yesterday I got the new issue of Dazed and Confused, I also ate lots of marshmallows. They matched my pretty pink nails.

These are some pics of things I have brought, things I have worn, things I want to wear.

Hugee polka dot skirt

Saturday night outfit, I didnt have any pics from the night

New dress

New (old) coats. You cant really notice the leather one,its a bit crazy in real life.

Lace birthday dress

I will be catching up with reading all of your lovely blogs tonight :) I also have a couple of tag things to do also. Your nice comments are so sweet.

So baby, baby hold me tight, While I drown myself in you tonight

2008-11-09T18:15:00.010Z

Thank you all for the lovely comments :) So sweet.
Friday started off a bit crap, but then that changed, I had a lovely birthday.
In the afternoon I went into town and got myself a fake fur coat because my other one is too big for me. I also got a pretty polka dot skirt in the same vintage shop. Then I got a pretty wizard of oz keyring, and little trinket box, a tiny bottle of pink fair dust and a big pink lolly pop.

Thers also the pretty bow ring my sister got me, a topshop heart necklace, and a little gold cupids bow and arrow necklace.

After all the cut little shops I went to Topshop, I got a black lace dress, leggings, long white vest, pretty skirt and necklace. A pretty cardigan in New Look, blusher and Miffy tissues from Boots.

I went out for a lovely meal with my family and best friend, then I went out for afew drinks. Thers a cute barman who always gives me free drinks, and is quite flirty with me, but he 'sort of' has a girlfriend, so I'm not going there.

Last night I went out to Carling Academy. I wore a long floaty white camisole, wet look leggings, high high heels, and lots of rings. Drank plenty of snakebite and vodka lemonades. Got spun around the dance floor. Met a boy. Kissed a boy, lots. Slipped and fell over, it was quite bad! Danced and sang lots.

I always ask the doormen to draw a heart.

It looks like I'm kissing the guy wearing my hat, I'm not. Maybe the ex boy will think I am?!

My sister sneaked a pic of me holding hands with the guy.

It's been a good weekend. Today I have felt like death with my hangover. I watched the Sex And The City movie in bed, drank lots of ribena, and stayed in my PJ's all day.
My brother got me this cuteness.

Oh, on saturday afternoon my mother told me I had a small parcel, it was a pretty pretty cat card from the ex boy. He said he wishes things could go back to being amazing between us, that he misses me loads, and he can't believe how much he's hurt me. It did make me quite teary.

Lose Ourselves

2008-11-06T23:31:00.003Z

It's almost midnight, I'm almost 21. Crap. I'm just not looking forward to it, my birthday usually turns out a bit rubbish. My Grampy died on my 11th birthday, so it's a bit tainted. Idiotface ex boy hasn't even texted me yet! I guess he's busy with 'Rosie' (ha that reminds me of the bit in sex and the city where Steve has a new girlfriend Jessica, and Carrie says something like 'i like how you say that like Jessica is allegedly her name.' well that's the tone I'm using).
I have the day off work, but everyone else has work and stuff, they expected I'd be working?! I don't mind, I'm not sure what to do, but I want a nice day of shopping, which is much better alone. I'll either explore my city, the charity shops, vintage shops and cute places, or get the train to somewhere near. I want to wear a pretty dress too. In the evening I shall go out to eat with my family, then onto a few bars perhaps with friends, maybe meet some hot guys.

I oddly got £100 extra pay this month, and besides rent I've only brought magazines, DVDs, books, no clothes really. I did treat myself to a pretty polka dot dress from ASOS today, I posted about it a while ago, it's down to £10, and a pretty necklace for £2.
I'm hoping they send me a birthday discount code like last year! I really need to buy a winter coat.

Tomorrow I will try and take lots of lovely photos.

It's not always rainbows and butterflies

2008-11-05T21:56:00.007Z

Today was a bit dull, but I got the new issue of ID at work, and a cute little windmill thing. It has igglepiggle from in the night garden on it, which I am a bit obsessed with.

Here's some pictures from wad magazine, not too good, but the best I could do. Click to enlarge.

Daydreamer, with eyes that make you melt

2008-11-04T20:36:00.003Z

So, Friday night I went to my sisters Halloween party, it was okay. The night ended a bit badly though! I was in the loo and someone kept banging on the door saying this guy was going to be sick, so I said take them outside. Then when I came out she was swearing at me?! So i swore back, and told my sister, who told her to leave. She started saying that I 'need to control myself' and kept making up random things which me and my sister apparently said. So she pretty much ruined my night, lots of drunk tears.

Saturday I went into town, got a few make up bits and pieces, and a copy of Wad Magazine, The Girls Issue. It's full of loveliness. On Saturday night I watched The X Factor-Simon Cowell's single now?! Then I cosied up in bed and watch The Holiday.

On Sunday morning I woke up very early to go to Birmingham, it was nice, we watched DVDs, went out to eat, ate biscuits, spoke about when we first met. Then I just had to do what I did last time, and look at his phone. I know I shouldn't but in a way I'm glad I did. Again. Still texting her, and she is meant to be seeing him the weekend coming up. I was meant to be seeing his as it's my 21st on Friday (scary!) and I wanted to do a bit of shopping. I just do not understand him at all, he still tries to be like my boyfriend, I said 'don't kiss me', but he still does. He was texting me on Friday night, and he hates knowing when I'm drunk, he did when we were together because he thought I'd get with some random guy. So I'm confused as to why he still cares. He told me nothing is going on between him and that girl, oh and now she doesn't have a boyfriend? I know I need to move on from him, and find someone new. I don't really want to be single, but I wont just settle for anyone. It would be easier to just cut him out of my life, but he is one of my best friends and he is important to me. Maybe I need to mess with his head a little though? Karma? I think I'm going out in reading with my friend Jessica on Thursday night (night before my birthday, just like last year when I met him). It's funny because whenever I'm single and go out with Jessica I always meet new boyfriends! So if I go out on Thursday I plan on meeting many hot guys. Last year I was awful, we both got so so so drunk, and I don't remember it much but I kissed lots of boys (except the my ex boyfriend funnily). I had such a bad hangover the next day I spent half by Birthday in bed!
There's my new rant over with, it does help typing all of that out.

2008-10-30T02:43:00.004Z

I've been tagged by the enchanting(and that is such an appropriate word!) Inside the Cabinet of Wonder. It's called the happy tag, the rules are; mention the person who nominated you. list 6 unimportant things that make you happy. tag 5 blogs. state the rules. notify them with a teeny comment on their blog that they have been nominated.

1.Simon Cowells hair and teeth. I can't help but smile, it's amazing! I watched some TV awards tonight and he won a special award, he was so sweet.
2.Heart shaped things. I loved being at my (ex)boys house. Heart shaped chopping board, cute heart door hangers, heart candles, heart ornaments. Hearts always make me happy, anything with hearts on and it has to be mine.
3.When cats clean their face. You know how they lick their paw to clean their face, I love watching my cats doing that. It's the sweetest thing ever.
4.Taking naps with the (ex)boy. It's just lovely. I miss that lots.
5.Toast. With blackcurrant jam, that's my fave at the moment.
6.Hello Kitty. She always makes me happy. I didn't quite realise how much Hello Kitty stuff I have, but it's a lot more then I thought!

I now tag
Sugarplum Ragdoll
Penny Lane
Sea at Fashion Squeah
Char at Fashion Squeah
Rather Robyn

I really like tags like this one, it's quite nice find out random little things about other bloggers.

Oh I had to include this old picture I found on my phone. My brother found this lovely little man amongst his other beans.

Oh what can I do, I still need you, but I don't want you now

Last night I experimented with my Halloween make up. I finish work at 8 on Friday, so I thought I should really try and plan ahead a little. I also changed my plan of what to be. I did mess up my room quite a bit, so had a little tidy after and found some things I haven't worn in ages for some reason.
Old new look lacey top with pretty sleeves, last worn perhaps 3 years ago.

Primark floaty white camisole, and charity shop bolero type thing.

I will have clearer pictures of these once I've worn them out.

Oh, these pretty pictures were in The Sunday Times Style magazine the other week, at the time I did try and find the pictures online but no luck, maybe now they are up somewhere. I took a couple of pictures on my phone because I thought they were very pretty.

Quick post before I head in to town, I'm late, no surprise there!!!

Messy bedroom by the way!

It's about time

Caught up in your smile, I’m happy as a child

2008-10-28T00:39:00.000Z

I need a new coat. I think this beauty will be replacing my age 13 children's red new look coat (which i still wear).

Contrast Collar Riding Coat-£65
I need to buy this at some point after pay day on Friday. What size to buy though? Sometimes ASOS things can run large, and sometimes too small.

We're like noughts and crosses in that opposites always attract

Hey, I hope every is feeling lovely. I will sum up my weekend.

Friday, I was going to have an early night, but I went to tesco with my brother, and I saw many hot guys, which cheers me up. My past few single weeks have been quite depressing.
Saturday, I completely messed up my bedroom. I was trying to sort things to sell for a car boot sale. Had some lovely rice pudding while watching The X Factor. Every time Diana sings I want to cry! I must stop. I really loved Ruth too.
I watched Love Actually, twice. I've wathced it about 10 times this week. It makes me cry, laugh, and feel happy.
Sunday, I woke up at 6am to go to a car boot sale, it was raining so I went back to bed, I did pretty much nothing this weekend. Curled up on the sofa and watched lots of TV, and ate homemade apple pie with custard. I watched Living On The Edge on MTV. I prefer it to the last series, which was a bit crap. It does make me a bit sad watching it, just all the relationship stuff. Brooke seems really sweet, and Stephen is such a fool for treating her like that. Maybe I can relate to it. My cat Twinkle was sleeping on the arm of the sofa, and fell off, luckily I caught him, but it scared him so I have scratches all over my hands.
Today at work was so so boring. I have a day off tomorrow and I'm meeting up with a friend to help her find something for Halloween. I also need to find something.

I made these cards for my mothers birthday, and we had lots of yummy chocolate cake, and lemon cake.

You're The Best Kept Secret Rolling Off My Tongue

2008-10-22T20:49:00.000+01:00

Lovely things I want from Miss Selfridge

1.Metallic Lace Dress-£50
2.Polka Dot Shirt-£25
3.Red Strapless Fringe Dress-£45
4.Black Chiffon Bid Dress-£38
5.Black Velvet Bow Dress-£45
6.Long Black Cardi-£18
7.Black Tulip Mini Skirt-£28
8.Black Heart Ring-£8
9.Fabric Print Ring-£6

Ive been looking for a new long cardi for a while, to replace my two cheap primark ones. All the others i found seemed to be over £30, so I'm happy I've found a much cheaper one.

I had such a borning day at work today, I was adjusting magazine stock levels. So I decided to order in copies of fashion magazines I want. I've applied for a new job as an apprentice admin assistant and Brooke's uni, so hopefully I get the job!

Thanks for your lovely comments, it makes me happy. I'm still angry though! I have moment of thinking 'what the hell am I doing pining after him?!' then I have moment of 'I really miss him'. It's just really not like him at all to be so stupid. Part of me things I am making a big deal about this because hes not my boyfriend, but then I was really sure we were getting back together, he really did act that way. Oh, I looked on that girls myspace page today, she's seriously vile! I really hate the fact that my friendship with him may be ruined, because I much as I feel hurt, I do want him in my life, he is one of my best friends.

Now I'm off to make a card for my mummy's birthday tomorrow.

See I can see that look in your eyes

2008-10-19T21:24:00.000+01:00

Warning: I need to bring out my rage is this post.
So, I've just got home from Birmingham. Friday was nice, Saturday was nice. I noticed the (ex) boy, I'll refer to as 'A' was texting somebody an awful lot (he's really bad at texting people by the way). I was like 'who's that?'. Just a friend apparently. I noticed it was a girl, Rosie. I'm quite good at sensing these things. It was bothering me, but I though I was being a bit over sensitive seeing as we're no longer a couple. The way he acts around me is like we're still a couple, I was really thinking we would be getting back together. So when he fell asleep I turned Psycho and checked his phone. yes I know that's sooooo bad, but I just needed to know what was going on so I could stop making a fool out of myself. Some highlights of the texts between them included her mentioning he nipple piercing, arranging a little date in two weeks time(spending the night at his), something about 'well they'd look better on my bedroom floor', theres more but I just can't remember. I woke him up, had a go at him. Cried most of the night. Felt like I was going to vomit being next to him. Not being able to speak to him in the morning, yet I had so much to say. Then I flipped when she texted him. I told him I felt like such an idiot, the fact that he was arranging a date with her when I was with him. He almost referred to me as 'my girlfriend' twice on Saturday. We're not really 'just friends'. Then i logged on to facebook, it was still on his account, so I looked at her profile (I sound crazy) in her profile picture shes with a guy, and her page says 'In a relationship'. Then I flipped again and said how stupid he was for arranging to see her when shes got a boyfriend. She lives in North Hampton or something. Going to Birmingham to spent the weekend with him, when she already has a boyfriend. I'm so so so upset and angry I just have to let this all out. He cried quite alot. That made me feel like such a bitch. I said to him how would you feel if I went to another city to spent the weekend with some guy when I was still with you. Think of her boyfriend. Another thing that really pisses me off is that shes not very attractive, she has really awful teeth. I don't think much of my looks, but I'm better than her. In a way it made me fell better about myself, but on the other hand it's like 'you prefer her to me?'.

Essay over, I'm feeling so crappy and need to let it all out. I still want him stupidly.

I hope everyone enjoyed there weekend a little better, the first half was good, the second, not so good.

Bring me flowers and talk for hours

2008-10-17T12:45:00.000+01:00

One of my fave fave blogs The Tea Drinking English Rose gave me this

Thank you thank you, I love your blog too.

Now I would like to pass it on to

Inside The Cabinet Of Wonder

I need to tag more but I'm so pushed for time, I haven't packed at all for Birmingham. I can feel myself getting stressed already. I need to figure out what to wear, snacks for the coach, music to listen too, paint my nails, and much more.

I got my hair cut today, it smells like cinnamon :)
I got pretty dresses in primark for £2 each.
I'm not at work.
My pretty ring from etsy came in the post, I completely love it.

Hopefully I'll have enough time to post before I leave. I need to get back to my list of things to do. Stress.

Dress Up

2008-10-14T00:09:00.000+01:00

A little inspiration for dressing up.

I think these are all from the cobrasnake.

These inspired me last Halloween, ANTM Season 4 I think. I always want to be something quite cute and girly, not very spooky though is it!

Here's me as Minnie Mouse on my birthday last year (1 week after Halloween, was a mental week!) and Halloween. Oh here's a tip, if you have lines painted under your mouth, don't kiss a boy. I have pictures of black smudge under my lips, not a good look.

Look for the stars as the sun goes down

2008-10-13T21:07:00.000+01:00

Today was completely boring at work, I read cookery magazines, so many yummy looking Christmas recipes.

I didn't go out on Saturday night, felt a bit under the weather to. I did get a pretty purse in Dorothy Perkins though.

On Saturday night I was all cosy in bed wathching The X Factor, eating snacks.
Sunday I attempted to tidy, hm didn't go too well.

More nice postcards.

I've been to tesco tonight with my sister, I WASTED £25!!!!! How stupid am I?! I did by some delicious shampoo by (ex) boys mummy buys, it makes your hair smell like ribena but nicer.
Blueberry & Ginseng Shampoo....Blueberry, Ginseng & Honey Conditioner and also Fig, Plum & Marshmallow Conditioner.

I'm sooooooo happy tonight! Me and the boy have arranged that I will be going to Birmingham on Friday, coming home Sunday. He's out drunk tonight and texted me
'You do know I cant wait for you to come down :) xxx'
and
'I may be drunk but I am telling the truth :) i have missed you xxx'
I'm in such a happy mood now.

Melt my heart to stone

2008-10-11T00:02:00.001+01:00

The weekend is here, so happy it is! I've had such a sore throat all day I'm hoping the (ex)boy didn't pass his disease onto me. Tomorrow afternoon I'm heading into town to meet with my love, bff, I think we may be going out too, so outfit hunting! Argh I'm so annoyed, I saw a lovely pair of shoes in the New Look window on the way to the coach station in Birmingham, looked for them online and in my local store. No luck. I need to wear them tomorrow.

I'm a bit obsessed with navy and gold at the moment, after my school boy blazer score. I saw so many yummy navy/gold things last weekend.

Eugh 12.37 am....Bed time, soooooo tired!

Locket and treasures on the river floor

2008-10-07T23:47:00.000+01:00

So I got back from Birmingham at about 9ish last night, and I was so tired I Slept for about 12 hours! Surprisingly I didn't actually do ANY shopping. I only spent money on bus fare, pizza hut and tickets for Tropic Thunder. I did have a browse in the yellow vintage store (lots of yummy things) and a few other shops but I wasn't in the mood to shop. I just wanted to pend time with the boy, which still makes me very very confused. Being like a couple again, he held my hand when we were running to cross the road, and during the film he did too, it gives me butterflies in my tummy all over again. In his room on his little pin board he he a piece of paper with my pink lipstick kiss pinned up, I was quite surprised by that, and a little letter I wrote him. It was so nice to snuggle up, have mid morning nap when its freezing outside and toasty warm inside.
I don't have any pictures, but I wore my school boy blazer both days. I love it so much! Argh I found a perfect winter coat in Urban Outfitters, but it was over £200! I cannot spent that amount. I'm so sleepy so this post is quite crappy. Nitey Night.

Get me gone

2008-10-04T15:27:00.000+01:00

I had meant to post last night but I was just too tired! I took a few quick pictures of what I got in town, then watched Ugly Betty and Later With Jools Holland in bed. I only had enough time to shop in Primark and Borders.

(notice my Jared Leto pic!)

Stripey top/dress £1
Jacket £13
Belt £2.50

Black & white stripe tee £2
Red & blue stripe tee £2

I also got a white tee, pj's, undies and slippers. In Borders, Some Like It Hot and The Notorious Betty Page DVDs

(images via google)

I received these eBay things in the post today.

99p school boy blazer, I only won it yesterday and wasn't expecting it so soon.

99p weekend bag (postage was £5, but it is quite heavy!)

Now, I'm off to tidy, bake cakes and get everything sorted for Birmingham tomorrow.

We take three steps forward and three steps back

2008-10-03T14:32:00.000+01:00

I took the day off work today, I feel completely drained. So today is a lazy day, but I will be heading to town in a bit to browse a few shops. I just booked coach tickets to go to Birmingham on Sunday to the (ex)boy. I spoke to him yesterday and it felt really weird, and I cried after?! Looser. So hopefully things will be fine. I hope all the girls in his halls are ugly too, haha. Now I must note down all the places that Selina has suggested, it's been ages since I've been to Birmingham!
Hopefully I'll be back this evening with some pretty things from town.

I'm a realist, I'm a romantic

2008-09-30T23:25:00.000+01:00

I purchased this beauty from Etsy today, I can't wait to receive it!!!! There's an Elvis one too, I almost got both, I decided to be sensible.

The packaging is just as lovely.

Hope everyone has had a lovely day! I'm browsing ebay and etsy for more goodies.

I wish we could see if we could be something

2008-09-28T13:25:00.000+01:00

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend, its almost over now (noooo).
So here what I wore yesterday.

I popped to town to get a couple of magazines and other random bits. I hate shopping at the weekend, way too busy.

Then I went out with my sister, I'm feeling quite rough today.

2008-09-23T23:01:00.000+01:00

I really just want to take a week off work and watch old movies and decorate my bedroom. I need to take my mind off things. My (ex) boy is having his freshers week and I cant help but think of what he could be doing. It's weird, our break up wasn't awful, we still like each other. He asked me to stay at his on Friday, it was funny, it felt like a first date. I made him up a big box of random things for uni:
Oreos
Home made rocky road
Scooby Doo spaghetti
Marmite
Cd's
Magazine
Sweets
Cous cous
Tortilla chips
Salsa dip
Soup
Cakes
There was more but I cant remember, I did include pear cider but drank it on the train to see him. Whoops. It was nice, we were really close. It is confusing me now though.

I need a haircut, but I really should tighten my budget next month.

Remember Me

2008-09-23T01:17:00.000+01:00

So many things I want for winter!

ASOS Snood-£12

ASOS Mittens-£10
I'm a complete mitten addict, I lost one from my favourite pair last winter on a very drunken night, I still have the other one for some reason

On a side note, this is a very pretty dress.

Almost Paradise

2008-09-22T23:45:00.000+01:00

Here's some pictures that have been lurking on my camera for a while, and a picture from the fair. Please excuse my pose, my friend was telling us to do different poses!

2008-09-17T00:26:00.000+01:00

Hey, sorry once more! My week has been pretty *poo*. Me and the bf broke up when i stayed at his on Friday night, it was all really odd. We figured it would be better to see how we are apart, rather then forcing things to work, then we can see how we feel. I was a bit of a bitch not speaking to I'm on Saturday, but i was so upset. So me and my friend went out on Saturday night, came home and watched love actually (i watch it way too much!). I did tell her 'make sure i don't text him!', then i got a text from him on Monday asking if he could see me on Friday. Sorry to turn this blog into a relationship one, but i just need to get it all out, and its easier in writing form i think.

So, I finally finished a skirt i half made making ages ago.

I looked quite awful here!

I'm also halfway through a black lame skirt.

Dull As Dish Water I'm Afraid

2008-09-12T00:32:00.000+01:00

I really wanted to do lots of blog posting/reading this week, but my (almost) week off has not been very productive at all. To sum up my days:

Monday: Charity shops, got a sweet lace type bolero, shirt, and tiered prom dress. Wilkinson's, 2 huge pink storage boxes which I had to lug home. Primark, I spent £40 but will be returning the lot tomorrow!
In the evening I went to the fair, got extremely scared on the ghost train, also went on another ride.
Tuesday: I don't even know what I did in the day, but the fair again in the evening. I should hopefully have pics from this at some point, bumped into a friend he was walking around with a huge picture frame stopping random people for pics. I got some in front of the pretty carousel. Then went to a bar, gossiped about the school day.
Wednesday: Work.
Today: Stayed in bed watching day time TV, moped about. Made brownies and watched Northanger Abbey.
Tomorrow: Reading to the boyfs, fabric store, h&m, hopefully a nice meal out.

This is a very dull read I'm sorry, I tend to ramble. Some better stuff this weekend! I'm hoping i can get my boyf to take some pictures on his lovely camera.

It's On Fire

2008-09-05T02:08:00.000+01:00

I really should be in bed. I'm looking at a few pictures from last winter, so many good times, I really cant wait for more this winter. I HATE summer time so much.

Bed time, I may have to watch a bit of Working Girl to drift me off. Nighty night! x

Written In The Stars

2008-09-05T00:34:00.000+01:00

Awww thank you all for your lovely comments :)
My boyfriend has managed to get onto the course he wanted in Birmingham, I'm happy for him but then also I just feel really like I don't know whats going on with us. I'm sure many couples have are feeling that at this time of year. So I'm seeing him tomorrow after work, I finish at 8, so I need to get really fast before i get the train to reading,

I'll probably wear something completely different though.

Here's a few things I picked up today at work.

I'm becoming quite addicted to Love It! magazine, the best bit being the handy tips section.

£60 for a tip of using sandwich bags as gloves?! Can anyone thing of some really crap tips?

Ahhhhh I'm listening to a bit of Elton John, forgot how amazing Something About The Way You Look Tonight is.

It Feels Like We're Running Out Of Time

2008-09-03T22:41:00.000+01:00

I'm browsing eBay, eating fruit salad and listening to *N Sync. I feel so tired today, I just want to snuggle in bed eating toast and watching Love Actually. Having a bit of a crap day really, boyfriend issues. eBaying is perking me up tough.

Trees and Squirrels

2008-09-02T23:40:00.000+01:00

I've been looking for the perfect blazer for a while now, but all of them are too pricey for me, and last night I found it....in my bedroom! My sister (who doesn't live with me) has loads of old clothes to sell on eBay stored in my bedroom, and amongst them is an old blazer of hers. I actually have an extra bed in my room, which just has clothes on it. Here's a few different things I tried it with, I have lots more ideas though!

I also found this gorgeous velvet blazer.

Now I'm hoping she will let me buy them off her, she would never let me have them for free!

The bowler hat I got from a kind gent on a night out about a year and a half ago, it's the one that says 'drinking hat' on the front!

I can't wait for this week to be over, I'm only working on Wednesday next week so lots of lovely days off to make pretty things, bake cakes and have nice times.

Catch Me If You Can

2008-08-31T23:44:00.000+01:00

I've had no time to post this week, been busy busy. This weekend was lovely, I booked Friday off work and went to Reading to see my boyfriend, I dragged him around afew shops, then we went to get are cinema tickets to see Step Brothers, then to Wagamama (I love Vue for its 2 for 1 on mains!!, then more shops. Before we went to the cinema we got cheapo 18p tortilla chips, cookies and drinks from Salisbury's to snack on in the film. I must say I really liked the film, it was so funny. On Saturday morning we watched the reallyyyyy old batman movie, then watched Hitch in the afternoon and went out for a walk. I got home late last night and slept in till about 1 this afternoon, and went in to town today. I got the new issue of Lula, and some toiletries. When i got home I did plan on tidying and posting on here, instead i put on sex and the city and fell asleep!

Here's what i wore today

Tee-Primark
Necklace-Evans
Skirt-H&M
Brogues-Primark

My new H&M skirt!!!!! I love it, it's really full and lovely, also it has pockets.

I took these next pictures after i woke up about an hour ago, hence the roughness!

Last weekend it was my best friend's birthday so we went out, it was such a fun night, dancing like a loon.

How yummy are these Miss Selfridge shoes?!

At £35 not too pricey either.....but size 5 is sold out! I guess its not meant to be, unless I see them in store.

I'm making brownies.....is it wrong to lick the batter from the bowl?! Or just fat?!

Stuart Sutcliffe and Astrid Kirchherr

2008-08-19T22:07:00.000+01:00

Last night I watched 'Stuart Sutcliffe: the Lost Beatle' on BBC4. Stuart was the original bassist of The Beatles for two years, he left the group to study art which was his main passion. The programme told of the groups stay in Hamburg, and featured the letters he wrote home to his mum and sister. Stuarts girlfriend Astrid was mentioned often in the letters, 'I'm still a bit sad that you think I’ve made a mess of my future, but out of it all I have something to really compensate – my love for Astrid which knows no boundaries and her love for me'. Astrid was immediately drawn to the Beatles when she fist saw them perform 'It was like a merry-go-round in my head, they looked absolutely astonishing... My whole life changed in a couple of minutes. All I wanted was to be with them and to know them'. Astrid and Stuart were later engaged in the same year they met(1960), Stuart lived with her after leaving the group but he became very ill and died of a brain hemorrhage in 1962 aged 21.

I'm really inspired by the late 50's and early 60's and Stuart and Astrid were such a beautiful couple, I can only imagine what it was like when the Beatles first started playing in hamburg, but this programme gave more insight into it.

I'll get back to a more fashion related post soon!

I Think You're Swell

2008-08-18T23:21:00.000+01:00

Hey lovely people, hope you all had a great weekend!
To sum up my weekend:
Friday
After work I asked my friend Jessica if she fancied going out, was a last minute thing after work and I ended up wearing my pirate shirt from a few posts ago, but with my heeled brogues. Went to a couple of bars, then to a club and danced the night away. I'm debating putting afew pics up, I don't even know who half the people are! Oh well, here goes!

As you can see I acquired afew accessories though out the night including a flashing badge, garland and a straw hat.

Saturday
I got home at about 1ish, and had to meet my friend down Cowley road to do a bit of shopping. I was still felt pretty wasted. I just wanted to go to bed! We went to Costa coffee and had mango ice drinks, then to afew charity and vintage stores. I got to videos (buy 1 get 1 free in Bernardo's) Alive (amazing film!) and almost famous. I also got some pick and mix, and a sandwich. I'm too broke to buy anything nice! I did see heaps I wanted though. I got home and watched the x factor (so funny!, then Pop Britannia on BBC2, its a new series about the history of British pop music. It was quite interesting, and this episode was all about music in the last 50's - early 60's (love love love).

Arghhh the guys looked so cool, even Cliff Richard was cool back then!
I did want to watch one of The Beatles films A Hard Day's Night, but had to meet my boyfriend from the train station.

Sunday
Me and my boyf got up late, went into town, I had pick and mix again! Did a spot of people watching, then walked home. I took him on a less busy route home, and he noticed a comic store, so we browsed comics for a while and he got afew as inspiration for the comic hes starting (summer and seth much?).

I wore this, it's a peter pan collar dress, with my navy blue velvet coat.

I've felt really ill all weekend, so this post is rambling quite a bit!!!! Also I'm a bit sad as my best mate found out she got into her uni of choice, so she'll be moving back to Aussie, and my boyfriend is sorting out clearing for uni, and I just don't think things will work out. I know I can make the effort, but I'm not so sure he will.

I Think I'm In Love

2008-08-15T00:29:00.000+01:00

I received an eBay package in the post today, it cost about £12 all together, bargain!!

It has huge shoulder pads which I'm very likely to remove as
they make me look like an American football player.

Bow detail, and crinkly upper material

I prefer strapless party dresses though.

My way of eBay buying is always strictly buy it now + lowest price first, and usually you have to scroll through afew pages to get to the lowest first stuff.
I very rarely bid on stuff, and if I do its always last minute, I find it all too stressful! Plus I always stick to my budget through buy it now.

I tried out some ideas for my lace bow

I like how it looks like a butterfly perched on the chain.

Dress-Primark(its a long tee really)
Glasses-H&M Men
Mary Janes-Primark

That's Not The Way That I Want It

2008-08-15T00:10:00.001+01:00

So here's what I've been wearing for the past few days (in between horrid work clothes)

Friday

Shirt-H&M
Brogues-Primark

Tuesday

Dress-Topshop
Necklace-Topshop
Tights-Topshop
Brogues-Primark

I remember when I wore these tights out about 3 years ago, and one man called me 'mutton dress as lamb' ?!

Thursday

Cropped Blazer-Primark
I must say most of the Primark things I have are sale items (haha) this jacket was reduced to £2
Dress-H&M
Brogues-Primark

Stolen Sweethearts

2008-08-13T20:23:00.000+01:00

The prettiest thing of all.....

.....a lace print bow.

Not the best picture, as its quite hard to photograph the lace detail.

I printed the material myself ages ago, and decided to get a bit crafty last night.

I plan on wearing it around my wrist.

I Don't Like You Anymore

2008-08-11T00:12:00.000+01:00

I hate it when the weekend finishes! On Friday after work went to see my boyfriend in reading (I'll post the outfit when i find my camera), i wanted to pop into h&m before i got the train home on Saturday but didn't have enough time. I spent today trying to organise and tidy my room, whilst listening to the Beatles, Elvis, Al Green and Otis Redding. It's getting there, I have two wardrobes so i shouldn't really have a problem, but i do!

These are some pics which I've left on the computer in the past month.
And that eBay dress, fits so perfectly is unbelievable! I didn't even read the sizing on the description.

Oh No No

I'm trying to make up for a lack of posting! Just found this pictures from something i wore afew sundays ago. My hayfeaver was SO bad, my eyeliner ran all down my face! I completely love this skirt, its silk and really light and but the sequins weigh it down quite a bit. I got it in Miss Selfridge afew years ago, and it was reduced to £3, bargain!

Last night i was trying to sort out stuff for eBay, and now I'm thinking i might have to keep this shirt. I'm so rubbish at selling/getting read of things!

I got it about a year ago at a cheapo shop (one of them slagy clothes stores-theres one opened in oxford the other week and in the window it has a dress with a sign 'as seen in eastenders'?! made me laugh). It was on sale for £1, and I'm quite liking it now!

My eBay dress came in the post today, yay! I tried it on with afew of the different shoes I acquired over the recent week, just seeing what I like best for when/if I go out at the weekend.

Cardigan-H&M
Dress-Vintage
Ring-H&M
Shoes 1-Primark
Shoes 2-Primark
Shoes 3-eBay

By the third set of shoes I realised the dress has pockets!
I've had to do a bit of folding and tucking with it, as its actually really long!!

I also got a couple od skirts in primark, a Luella copy at £6, and a hot pink hounds tooth skirt. I may return both, especially the pink one, I love the shape and cut of it, but its one of them obvious items if you see someone else wearing it at the same time.

Toady has been awful, I booked the next two days off work, and now I'm sick. Typical. On a happier note my shoes came in the post today. I had so much planned today, shopping, getting a haircut, amongst other things. My hair has got way too long for me, I prefer it quite short.

Here's some lovely things, all from River Island.

They also have them in beige.

Another shoe from the store which I quite like is the Carvela copy.

Tag Time

2008-07-02T18:33:00.000+01:00

I'm quite excited, I've been tagged by the fab Aus Style to reveal my '7 songs of summer'.

The rules are as follows:

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your Summer.
Post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs.
Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to.

1. Phil Collins & Philip Bailey-Easy Lover. Arghhh I love it! Its such a classic, you cant beat the oldies. This is the kinda stuff I listen to when I'm getting ready to go out.

2. Plummet-Damaged. The original is also amazing, such a deep song.

3. Cajun Dance Party-Amylase. It reminds me alot of last summer, so I've been listening to it again in the recent sunny times.

4. Alexisonfire-Accidents. Yeahhh, I hadn't listened to this in a while, and I was swapping the play list on my phone and re-found it.

5. Adam and the Ants-Stand and Deliver. I keep singing this at work, its completely been stuck in my head.

6. Good Shoes-Morden. Another I re-found, It makes me want to be out in a park having a picnic with pink lemonade.

7. Duran Duran-Girls On Film. I'm way too 80's I think!

I'm tagging

Gem Fatale
The Pink Circus
Thrills and Frills
Jell-O On Springs

Just ignore it if you've already been tagged.

Eeeee.

I just remembered part of my dream last night, i was in a charity shop and found a filthy white cropped tuxedo jacket with tails for £3, even though it was filthy i had to have it!

I thought I'd do a little post on one of my fave girl crushes.

Selma Blair. I love her so much!

Pics from Selma-Blair.info
Brief picture post as I really need to be leaving for work!!

2008-06-30T02:35:00.000+01:00

I really should be in bed! It's payday though so I'm up late browsing eBay. I really want these Topshop copy shoes

I think the Topshop ones were £65? These are £25.

Work today was so completely boring! I did have a lovely long weekend though.
Friday night i stayed at my boyfriends and he made me watch Nathan Barley which is rather amusing. Then he came to oxford to stay with me on Saturday night, had some domino's pizza and then we went out to a bar. I need to find my outfit pic, but i just work a black men's tee, black bandage skirt, lace tights and black ankle boots. It was pissing down with rain, and my feet were in so much pain! On Sunday we went into town and had waffles, banana, ice cream and chocolate sauce (sooooo good!), browsed the shops then lazed about watching TV.
Yesterday i had a day off work, had a nice long lie in then organised my (well tried too). It was so lovely and sunny. here's what i wore

Sunglasses-Found in a pub
Sequin Cape-Primark
Tee-H&M
Shorts-Some cheap shop in Reading called Atlantic?
Sandals-Primark

I brought two pairs of the shorts because they were £1 and they're high waisted light wash denim, the pair in the pic are size 12 but ive rolled the waist down and worn them kinda baggy.

I was also experimenting with things i haven't worn in a while and things i might sell.

I'm quite aware the dress is see through when held out like this!

I actually got round to taking some pictures. Was a bit of a task to find my camera, my room is an absolute mess because my sister is moving on Monday, so her stuff is all over the place. It means bigger wardrobe though, now I have another excuse to buy clothes. I need it to be pay day! I need to buy a TV/DVD player, mirrors, a new bed.

I'm really liking this bed from woolies

It's so cool with the headboards that you can move to the other side of the bed.

Oooooh and I NEED this TV/DVD player! I'm quite pathetic really!

The remote control is a bloody wand!!!!

So, here's the primark coat, it's a bit ugly but i like it, but it does look better in person! It was £5 in the sale and i needed a waterproof coat for this rainy time of year.

These are too yummy.

Sorry about my slacking with this blog! Computer is now fixed though, so i can get back to the lovely world of blogging.
Just had an excellent four day weekend, lazed around with the boyf eating pop tarts and hula hoops on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Saturday nigght i was meant to be seeing exit ten at Carling academy, felt soooo tired though. Then my sister dragged me out at midnight to go to Carling, it was such a good night though! After Carling loads of us went to the park, the boys stole a kids bike, we watched the oc, meant to macds at 6am, went on a nature walk, then finally bed at 9am.

I got paid a couple of weeks ago, a measly amount of about £250, but i will be getting the correct amount for next pay day. Clothes wise i spent about £35, all in primark! I'll photo some of the things tomorrow. I got a PVC type raincoat thing (sounds horrid!), socks, pj bottoms, a belt, a ring, tights, a bag, shoes, make up bag, tshirt dress, pack of undies. Classy.

Anyway here's some random pics to make the post a bit nicer.

Not Today.

2008-05-09T11:42:00.000+01:00

Sorry for my lack of posting!!! First of all my laptop has a bit of a virus, my brother has only just decided to fix it (hes a computer whiz). I'm managing to use his PC as hes at work. Secondly I've been busy working, I have a day off today but tomorrow I'm working 6am-2pm. How will I manage that?!

I cannot wait to get paid, 3 weeks away, which is too long! I've been writing little lists of things I want to get, but i wont go too crazy.

I haven't really worn anything nice recently, work clothes are a hideous purple checked shirt or a national lottery tshirt.

A good post to come soon!

I got these shoes in march last year from Topshop (£60) so far I've worn them twice i think. At the time i loved them, now I'm not so keen on them. Should i sell them or not? cant decide! i can guarantee if i sell them in a few months time I'll want them back.

Does anybody else get quite attached to their clothes/shoes and the memories that come with them? The first time i wore these shoes was such a good night! A random house party the back into town having so much fun!

Bed time I think....I have to watch tv/dvd to fall asleep, I'm a wimp and get a bit paranoid by noises i hear above my bedroom. I'm convince the thing from jeepers creepers lives there! I think either Bridget Jones or The Office tonight.

I'm slacking a bit with the blog! I will try and do better.
So, on Friday i had my interview (whsmiths) and yay i got the job! Okay, not the best shop in the world, but i seriously need money. I cannot wait to shop, I'm so happy! I should really be in bed, so tired and i start work tomorrow (well technically today).
Saw my boyfriend this weekend, had a lovely time being lazy together. Today I attempted to tidy my bedroom, I'm halfway there! I also baked cakes, i bake all the time!

So here's a few pics from the past few days, I'll do better posts during the week i promise.

The Best Is Yet To Come

2008-04-23T21:52:00.000+01:00

Here's an outfit from last week that i meant to post but forgot. Nothing too exciting!

Coat - Primark
Bag - H&M
T Shirt - Tart Tees
Belt - Primark
Skirt (actually a top) - Next
Tights - Primark
Shoes - Topshop

Haha, I dont have a bald spot....

I got the Michael Jackson t shirt about 4 years ago, its shrunk lots so I always pair it with high waisted items on the bottom half. I really want a new one but i cant find the store online anymore, they had so many cool tees!

Wearing tops as skirts is something i do alot, I obviously have an extreme lack of skirts. The one in the pic was a bargainous £2, I got it when i worked at a next clearance store (complete and utter hell) but i must say end of sales are very good, especially when you can browse the stockroom for goodies.

Click to enlarge pics! I have to balance my camera on a shelf to get full outfit shots, so its a bit far away!

Shakedown

2008-04-23T21:41:00.000+01:00

Lot's of lovely things, but no money just yet! I'm looking for a new job and have an interview on Friday, so fingers crossed!!!

Here I Go Again...

2008-04-21T00:51:00.000+01:00

I'm a little slow on blogging, so bear with me! I was away at my boyfriends from thursday night till saturday.
Thursday nights watching Katie and Peter the next chapter on itv2 is one of our guilty pleasures, well his anyway, I've always confessed my love of them. I know so many people hate them, but watch it and you will love them.

Then friday we had to do this photo shoot & makeover thing, it was a freebie so i thought why not. Jeez I was so bad at it, there was about 4 nice photos of me, and about 20 of my boyfriend, but at £70 a photo (daylight robbery) we decided not to buy....the bf does photography and he could take better! We got home and made fajitas and watched man stroke woman, it was a very nice day.

Saturday we baked cakes and watched back to the future before i went home. We had a bit of a lovers tiff, it was so silly, but after a whole day of feeling rubbish we made up.

I wish i had some pics to show from the photo shoot! My last outfit was pretty good, the dress from the last post with lace tights and super high shoes....a random man was like 'yowzerrrr, look at those tights, they should'nt be allowed' What am i supposed to say to that?! I also wore this, but bare legged.

Dress-H&M
Belt-ASOS

Those shoes, I love, I got them last january but Ive never worn them out! They're a bit awkward to wear (quite slippy), but i aim to wear them out soon.

Sorry about the boring rant!!!

I loveeeee the details of the dress....corset style bust,zip,and the tiered ruffles.
It's actually longer, but I've folded it over underneath the belt

So I decided to start my blog, I did one a while back but deleted it as it was quite crap really! So many blogs inspire me, so now I'm going to give mine a go.

Sunday was a bit of a lazy day...I watched t4, and then baked cakes.

Also there was a pretty view of a rainbow outside my bathroom window
