Whatever

I'm not sure if I've shown you all this lovely top yet, but If I haven't, HERE IT IS!

What I Am Wearing

Top-Asos
Skirt-New Look
Belt-New Look
Velvet Doccers-Dr.Martens







Isn't my boyfriend just the best? He brought this for me for Christmas! I still need to show you the frigging gorgeous shoes he brought me! I will one day and you will all be green with envy! which funnily enough is the color of the beautiful shoes!

I think this has got to be in the top 3 of tops in my wardrobe! I love the little daisy print and the black lace collar attached is just bloody beautiful!

Be prepared to see my velvet doccers on a regular basis as all of my outfits will be pretty much based around the new love of my life, the velvets.

Day 2 in Liverpool consisted of, guess what? more shopping. This trip was more of a browser and we headed out to discover vintage shops that may be hidden down the backstreets of Liverpool.
not knowing the area, at all, we kind of got lost a bit and ended up pretty much nowhere. I did discover a vintage shop though! one which was closed. which was brilliant. Further up the street I discovered another vintage shop which made me happy! They even had some real cheap vintage wedding dresses in there, I am so going down the aisle in an over embellished lace frock from the 70's! I resisted buying things though in the optimistic thought of what I could buy when me and Betti go on a vintage shopping spree in a weeks time!

Until Next Time!

All In Your Rows

 
HEY GUYS!

I've been away for a few days in the lovely town of Liverpool! I went there a few years back to do the whole 'Beatles museum' and all that jazz but we felt we didn't see everything so we went back and basically, went on a shopping holiday.

The town that we couldn't find for the life of us last time happened to be 2 mins away from our hotel, we were just stupid enough to not find it last time.

Liverpool town is actually quite nice! With the usual suspects of New Look, Topshop, H&M, Miss Selfridges, Urban Outfitters, Primark but also the frigging lovely shop that is the Dr. Martens shop.
The discovery of this shop was the best thing and the worst thing to happen to me. The best thing because I was overcome with happiness and joy, like a child on Christmas day. The worst thing because my bank balance had to suffer me buying a pair and really really wanting to buy a second pair!
 
Let me introduce you, to what I call, my velvet beauties...

 
 
 
 
How could I not buy them? and at the bargain price of £50! half frigging price! had to be done.
 
Anyway, Here Is What I Wore!
Dress- ASOS -Present from my lovely boyfriend
Cross Collar Tips- New Look
Brown Belt-New Look
Velvet Doccers- Dr. Martens
 
 
 
 

 I have a few more photos to show you from my trip so I shall be blogging again on Sunday, AND THAT'S A PROMISE!

Until next time!!
 

 
 
I'll leave you with one of my new band loves and one of my fave songs by them! give it a listen ;)

Walking Disaster

The dreaded month of January, Everyone is skint, and I have put myself on a shopping ban so that I can last the very busy month that is January! and lets just say that my self inflicted shopping ban has been very unsuccessful to say the least!
In the month of January I have 'treated' myself to 3 dresses, 2 tops and a pair of shoes! (nice one)

I really am brilliant at not spending money on clothes....

What I Am Wearing
Tie Dye Midi Dress-New Look-£14.99
Brogue Creepers-New Look-£19.99
Black Gothic Necklace-New Look
Black Studded Bum Bag-New Look









Yes, once again my whole outfit is from New Look and I am addicted to shopping in my work place. But look how nice the things are!
New Accessory Must Have-BUM BAGS!

I had a bum bag when I was about 10, and it was a teddy bear. I am bringing the trend back! (minus the teddy bear) next on the agenda, those shiny cycling shorts we all used to wear in the 90's. Yeah...

I am also trending a new way to wear nail varnish, with 2 totally different coloured hands, Mind blown? should be.

The Hipster Types.

Yes! That's Right! Another blog! A DAY after the last blog so ha! shout at me now Betti!

Speaking of Betti (who's blog you should look at if you haven't because it is frikking brilliant) I think you should all look forward to our little bloggers meeting that we are having, in which we BOTH promise to take tons of photos of us galavanting off to various vintage shops and sending possibly more money than we actually have (we should probably set a budget)

Back to the main point of this blog, more clothes of mine.

Well I showed you my red velvet skater dress, now, behold! The EXACT same dress in black!

It is a good dress though, and I always feel slightly festive in velvet.

This is my new shirt! from New Look. I saw it come into store on delivery and it was immediately in my hand as mine! I suppose working at New Look has its pro's and con's. The Pro's being I get to see all the pretty things come into store first and get first dibs on all the pretty clothes, the cons being that I spend way too much money and need to stop. But, Let's be honest, you can never have too many floral shirts!

I also have new boots, but I have a brilliant story to justify this purchase. I walked to work, In the pouring rain, with 2 pairs of socks on and a thick pair of tights. of course none of that mattered because the boots I chose to wear were covered in holes, Because I'm really classy like that. I arrived at work with 2 pairs of wet socks and wet feet, I am surprised that my toes didn't fall off. So I brought these to keep my feet warm that day. Purchase-Justified.

WHAT I AM WEARING

Velvet Dress-Topshop
Floral Shirt-New Look
Ankle Boots-New Look
Brooch-from the mother in law to be!





showing off my roots that desperately need re-dying.


I am going to leave as a proud blogger that has blogged 2 days in a row! HURRAH! I am well proud.

Ensuring You Won't Forget Me.

Well I've been a little bit busy lately. I'm guessing you can tell since I haven't done a post since.... the 6th of December  wow. apologies.

So here is a post I was obviously meant to do a while back but never did. Yeah

I have been mega non stop with work/buying presents/wrapping presents/giving presents out that amongst all the commotion I haven't even had a split second to take photos for my poor little blog. I took a few snaps the other day, In the dark, and was rushing that much that I didn't even put any lippy on! making my whole outfit instantly look 90% shitter.

What I Am Wearing
Top-Anciently old-Topshop
Skirt-Sale Steal-Topshop
Granddad Cardigan-New Look
Creepers-New Look
Collar Necklace-New Look
Frilly socks-Asda-kids section




So basically I look a mess, I had been running round like a maniac all day buying the last of the Christmas presents which thankfully I have now finished! I might actually be able to get a decent photo tomorrow for the next blog! (not promising anything)

Oh, you like my frilly socks do you? Well apparently my feet are that small that I can fit into kids socks, which is a bonus because these frilly socks were Cheap as chips compared to the ridiculous price they are charged elsewhere! I think ill stick to the kids section in Asda!

It's nice to be back.

Much Love

I always did it like a real rebel would

HEY!

I've been to a few concerts lately, which I haven't yet had the opportunity to grace you with the stories. Your in for a treat...

I went to see the vaccines on the 29th of November, I have seen them once before when they supported the Arctic Monkeys and their vocals were a bit rubbish and you couldn't really hear them, this time you could hear what they were saying but I could hardly pay attention to the concert as it was just mental.
Constant pushing from all angles, we were literally falling all over the place. My main priority was not to let me or my sister die. Sophie actually fell over (almost) if it wasn't for me grabbing her by the collar like a pup and dragging her back to the surface she may have died (either by being trampled or eventually strangled by yours truly)

Other than the fact that we couldn't see and I have to fight numerous blokes to protect my sister the concert was amazing! It was just a shame that the majority of the girls there were drunken 14 year olds who needed a good slapping.

Anywho! This is what I wore :) Who knew velvet would be all in this year (apparently) I brought this dress in the sale last year from Topshop and now velvet is all the rage...

(Rubbish Indoor Photos)
What I Am Wearing
Red Velvet Skater Dress-Topshop-Sale
Oversized Floral Shirt-Vintage
Creepers-New Look
Necklace-New Look
Parka Jacket - New Look





Also went to see a concert in WALSALL! (yes that's right, Walsall actually put a decent music festival on)
a few bands and acoustic acts played before Reverend and the Makers took to the stage.
It's Weird having actual music people playing in Walsall, this has never actually happened in my lifetime, Hopefully Walsall will start doing more of these nights, as it was actually rather brilliant!

Once again its not the first time I've seen Reverend & The Makers in concert, I saw them once at Birmingham too and they were also brilliant then. Once again Jon McClure took the concert outside and played us another mini acoustic sing along session, The Saturday Night clubbers seemed bewildered by the crowd of Indies surrounding a guy with a guitar all singing along, It was quite amusing.

I didn't get a photo of my outfit, but I managed to get a close up of the lead singer :)



I'll leave you along with a song from each artist! If ever you have an opportunity to see a concert, just go! You only live once remember so make as many memories as possible!

Much Love!
