Jumping in the garden!

I must apologise for my lack of Bllogging, I have been non stop working, which I suppose is good. More hours=more money=more shopping <3 but as a result of this I have been so tired that all I have done inbetween work is eat and sleep. exciting.

I have however spent my entire shift dressing up the mannequins on Topshop! I cannot even put into words the excitement that came over me! I absoloutly love dressing the mannequins, and on Topshop? I felt like I was in HEAVEN! My talents are wasted being on tills! I am a creative person, and I need to let my creativity out! I think having this opportunity has only showed everyone how passionate I am about fashion and how creative I can be! Fingers crossed that they let me dress more in the future! I am going to try and get some photographs on the sly of what concoctions I came up with!

I did however mustle up enough energy to take some photos in my garden. These were taken last week, you know, when we actually had some decent weather, and when I actually did have a day off! I decided to be silly, and Jump in my garden. This was the outcome...


Quite a big jump that :L
Kind of funny air running.

Stag Leap :')

Think I got tired at this point. Time for a sit down.


I think this is an excellent time to introduce you to my lovely bag. One of my purchases from my shopping trip the other week. I was meant to be budgeting, but I just couldnt resist buying this ontop of everything else! and it was sucha bargain I couldn't say no! EVERYONE that sees me with this bags comments on how lovely it is, i must say I am loving the bad envy ;) before I tell you any more about it, take a look at this, and see if you can guess how much I paid for it, and where it was from? GO ON! GUESS!!!!





IT WAS ONLY BLOODY £5 IN THE SALE AT PRIMARK!

BARGAIN!!

How on earth could I resist?


I'M OFF TO HAVE A NAP!

HOPE YOU ARE ALL WELL!!

PEACE OUT!

Sunny Days Faded Away...

The Sun came and went pretty quickly!! But I did get quite a few summery photo's snapped whilst the sun lasted!

I have actually got quite a few blogs lined up, which should be entitled things such as 'here comes the sun' & 'Summery-ness!' However if I post blogs with such titles I will be lying to my self, as it is no longer summer, we had our week, it will be snowing again in no time!

I went shopping with my friend the other week, since I had a day off and haven't really been shopping for AGES! I've been naughty though really, went a bit over budget, and I've been so good all month! maybe I should just avoid shopping?

Saying that one of my friends is allowing me to "indie" her up, and I am going to be able to dress her and make her listen to decent music! A bit like my own little doll! Which I shall thoroughly enjoy!

SO this is what I wore to go shopping, and of course I had just enough time to have a quick photo shoot in the garden before setting off! :)


I AM WEARING

TOP-Topsop
SKIRT- H&M
TIGHTS- Gift
BAG-Primark

The first shop I went into I discovered this hat, and it was the bargain price of £3! so of course I just HAD to buy it! and it just looked lovely with my outfit and suited the weather situation just perfectly!
Plus my straw hat I had last year got a bit squished when I packed it in my suitcase and is now slightly deformed. I had to wear it for the entire journey home :) I also had a milkshake. nom.

I'm not going to show you everything I brought, otherwise you'd have nothing to look forward to on my next blog now would you? ;)

Hope you are all okay!

What my kids will look like.

I always joke about how my children will be mini versions of me. I'll have them listening to all my favourite bands and shaping them to become miniature hippy-indie-kooky-type-things. Awesome.

Occasionally I like to test this out on my nieces by dressing them up strangely, as seen in this blog post HERE
and buying them clothes such as these, shown in this blog HERE

But today I got to dress them up properly! like miniature me's!

Firstly I found this top in H&M and I literally gasped, dropped what I was holding and picked up the top, I think I may have even drooled slightly. At this I turned to my sister and said "I HAVE to buy this for the kids!!" I've also instructed her to keep the tops for when the kids grow out of them, so I can keep them until I eventually have little people. I don't care if that may even be 10 years from now, I will store these tops for as long as needed so that I can have these tops for my kids!

My sister told me I was "ALOUD" to dress the kids like me for the day and I instructed her on what to bring round. I told the kids how beautiful hey both looked and persuaded them to have a little photo shoot in my garden. This was the outcome...




I was very tempted to put my own Beatles top and a floral skirt on and join in the photo fun!

I have to say though, I don't feel that sorry for my future kids, as they are going to look bloody awesome!!

UNTIL NEXT TIME!! 

PEACE <3

I BROUGHT 2 NEW SKIRTS!

So much for not shopping for a month eh? However I have done PRETTY well considering, and I was still in budget for my week (yes that's right, I'm actually budgeting. boo.)

However I'm only going to show you the ONE skirt I brought, Gives you something to look forward to on my future blog posts ay?










I AM WEARING
H&M SKIRT - £5
CHARITY SHOP SHIRT - £3
D.I.Y SOCKS - £0
D.I.Y BOW - £0.30
DOROTHY PERKINS BELT - £3
BROWN BROGUES - £6

TOTAL OUTFIT COST = £ 17.30

Now who says you have to be rich to look good? there is really no excuse to dress scruffy when you can buy a whole outfit for less that £20. GOK WAN EAT YOUR HEART OUT! ;)

D.I.Y Socks
I'll tell you all about how these were created. I had these tights, which I used to love, and wear quite often, so of course, Typically, they got laddered and had all sorts of holes everywhere. The bottom of the tights were in great condition, it was just from the knees up where things went down hill.
SO instead of just throwing them out, or keeping them and never wearing them because they have holes in, I created a new addition to my wardrobe! I cut the tights, just to over my knees, and they work lovely as a pair of socks!
So next time you are thinking of throwing away your printed tights, don't! just get out a pair of scissors ;)

D.I.Y BOW
I can't really class this as D.I.Y, as I didn't do much D.I.Y at all to create this!

All I did was buy some ribbon from my local craft shop, and then cut it, and tied it just under the collar of the shirt to create extra detail. I'm going to so this with a lot of my shirts I think! It just makes the shirt look way better!
The only thing I might do next time is sew the ribbon underneath the back of the collar, as it tended to twist round as I was walking.
I also Singed the ends of the ribbon on a low flamed lighter once I had cut it to the right length to prevent it from fraying.

I must apologise for the lack of blogging I have done lately! I've been so busy! I went to Blackpool the weekend too! But not to worry, I'm back on track and I have A LOT of blog posts lined up!!

SPEAK SOON & ENJOY THE SUN!

PEACE & LOVE

Lock up your wardrobes!

So I had my sisters house for the week, looking after her dog and just making sure nobody robbed the place.

Stupidly my sister left her wardrobe unbolted up. If you leave me unattended with a wardrobe, I will raid it, and I will wear the clothes. The first target was the dress I wore in my last post. I felt slightly bad about this steal, because it even had all the tags left on it, but I just couldn't resist it!!!

My older sister is not really like me and my little sister Sophie. She wears nice clothes, but she wears normal clothes, still pretty at that! but even I know that the dress from my previous post hasn't been worn yet, is because secretly she's scared to leave the house wearing a dress with a slightly different print on to what others would wear!

I also found this pretty number, which i have also never seen her wear. why the hell not I don't know. its so pretty!

The house has sort of got like, 2 front rooms? the one is decorated all modern and pretty, but they just haven't had chance to decorate the front room, which personally I don't think they should. It made an excellent background for my blog photos!




 In fact I liked the background so much that I got carried away taking photos. I still really want to get a SLR camera to take my blog photo's with, Any suggestions?

I AM WEARING:
NEWLOOK DRESS NEWLOOK CARDIGAN (BOTH COURTESY OF MY SISTER) BROWN BROUGES YEARS OLD BELT

UNTIL NEXT TIME!

{PEACE OUT!}
