Latest Fashion Buys!

Hey Bloggers!

I hope you've all had a great week and that you celebrated the first day of Summer (yesterday) in style. There's definitely hints to it being Summer what with the constant humid weather, coffee shops bringing out iced drinks and retailers stocking lots of different brightly coloured beachwear items! For me Summer is not my favourite season but it does have its advantages, such as; being able to get away with wearing less make-up, leaving the house without a jacket and generally feeling happier with the smile-inducing weather :) So whether you're off on your jollies soon or like me, looking to start a new career path, Summer is all about general merriment and enjoying all of those little pleasures in life.

Speaking of little pleasures, I had a little nose around a foreign food market that Preston had on earlier today which was nice as they don't come here very often. I sampled some of Italy's finest delicacies and they were out of this world! I also had a browse around Topshop where I spotted lots of yummy looking jewellery items in the sale - here's what I bought...

A Taste of Italian Culture - An Assortment of Cakes, Croissants and Biscuits that were rich in flavour and worth every penny ;)

...With a side of Caramel Costa Light ;)

Sales Finds: White Leather Bow Hair Accessory, Lime Fragrance Travel Wipes and Lilac-Glittery Ankle Socks.

Sale Finds: Floral Fabric Charm Bracelets, Metallic Skull Nail Ring, Metallic Studded Bangle and Gold Costume Cross Earrings.

Sale Finds: Earring and Ear Cuff Assortment, lots of cute little Mustache Earrings and 'D' Initial Earrings :)

Sale Find: Large Gold Cross Necklace.

My Favourite Purchase of today!

Obligatory Manicure Shot ;) Barry M 'Peach Melba' Nail Paint with Barry M 'Lychee' Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint. Rimmel 'Rock Your Colour' Glitter Top Coat in 'Gold Disco' painted over fourth nail.

Time for a Spring Update...

Hey Bloggers,

Today's post talks about some of the gorgeous items which have been firmly on my fashion radar for a while now. It's coming up to payday soon which will definitely be an excuse to invest in some key pieces to update my spring wardrobe. 

I don't know about you but as it's been so cold and rainy for months on end, I seem to have been living in cardi's and jumpers! Don't get me wrong I love a good slouchy jumper as there are so many versatile numbers out there on the retail market, but sometimes it's good to mix things up and change what you choose to wear.

Now that the weather is changing and we're due to have a heatwave sometime soon, it's got me thinking about tees and layering. Spring is a great season for fashion and beauty as you can really play around with pastel colours, layer up on your neon accessories and experiment with light and airy beauty products that don't suffocate the skin so much!

Here are a few of my favourite styling ideas for spring to inspire you...

Actual Pain Eye Of The Angel Photographic Vest - ASOS (Love the Beauty vs Horror print!)

Black Antique Cross Leggings - TOPSHOP (I have a very similar pair I bought from Primark a few months back, but these are definitely on my wish list!)

ALVI Flatform Ankle Boots - ASOS (The comfiest shoe type ever!)

Backpack Bag In Mono Stripe - ASOS (Beetlejuice stripes, leather buckles, what's not to love??)

Pink Snakeskin Metallic Stilettos - Jimmy Choo (A little pricey for my budget but hey, we can all dream...)

MATCH Leather Brogues - ASOS (Blue pastels compliment denim ensembles perfectly - These would go with the denim pencil skirt I bought for £2.80 from a charity chop in Lancaster!)

Confessions of a Shopaholic!

Hey Bloggers!

I hope you all had a fabulous new year and that you celebrated in style! It's been a hectic-mad month since Christmas so apologies for the lack of posts!

The good news is that I have started my new job as a Copywriter... a little luck does wonders for people eh? In that spirit, I have been on the hunt for the best bargain buys to start off the year in style. When I start a new job I always like to start fresh, and that goes for my wardrobe too. 

So the following are just some of the purchases I have bought recently, I hope you like them as much as me!
