AHH! It's 2015 now. It'll take me a while to get used to that date. I'm sure everybody has New Years Resolutions that they may or may intend to keep! Here are mine:
 I'm hoping that at the end of the year I can look back at these and tick them all off. :D
Originally I had no plans for New Years Eve but then my boyfriends family were going to a party at a hotel so we ended up going out which was very nice. I had the usual dilemma of what to wear and wanted to wear something with sequins but they just didn't look right on.
During the day i'd been told by a homeless man 'nice legs, shame about the face' so I decided to put a little extra effort in with my makeup!
 Ever since watching Helen Anderson's Get ready with me earlier in the year, I have been addicted to Loreal's True Match minerals powder foundation in Golden Ivory. It goes on like a dream and matches my skin perfectly while lasting all day! I also ended up going for a red lip in the end.
I loved my outfit that I eventually decided on: (click on brand for link)

I loved wearing the outfit! The skirt was amazing on :)
I hope you all had an amazing new years eve and have a great start to 2015!

Told you I'd be back! This was my OOTD yesterday. I've been DYING to wear my Rock on Ruby jumpers since I got them but it's just not been cold enough! So I bit the bullet anyway and wore one :) 
On IG, R.O.R had asked for slogan suggestions for their Christmas jumpers range, as I had made a contribution they VERY kindly sent me a 10% off code, which, naturally, I used on their Christmas jumpers! I bought this one which reads 'The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway' and another amazeballs one which is 'Do you want to build a snowman?' (I'm saving this one for nearer crimbo!) 
Not only do Rock on Ruby have a fun range of Xmas jumpers, but also a fantastic range of customizable slogan tees, bags, everything AND you can design your own if you have something in mind! They're super popular on IG and really good quality products.
The jumper is fleecy feeling inside so the cold really doesn't bother me in it! It's nice and baggy (I bought a large and it completely covers my bottom!) and I rolled the sleeves up for a bit of a 'cool' vibe. 
I styled it with my mom jeans (which I hate NOT wearing although I look huge in them!) boyfriend's Fenchurch plimsolls as they were grey, some gold jewellery and (not in pics) a chunky black belt. I felt quite 80's/90's and also a massive geek which I loved!
Hope you like it and go and check Rock on Ruby out, i'll definitely be buying more from them in the future!

Sometimes in life, you go into Primark for one thing. One thing in particular, for example, hair grips. You walk into the store and think 'there's no harm in browsing' and then that's it. You and your purse are no longer friends. 
This very thing happened to me yesterday! I was distracted by a black longline blazer and BAM i'm down £50 before I know it...
I am however really glad I had a look around because I fell in love! 
Aren't they just beautiful?! They look like the Vans ones but for a fraction of the price. I don't own shoes like this, but I needed these because of my love of all things leopard print :) 
For this very same reason I ended up buying this little pretty. Again, I don't really own clutch bags but this baby is to die for AND it's roomy!


 I should have known not to buy this shirt, but it was a gorgeous colour and I couldn't resist it. However once I got home and put it on, I remembered that shirts do not agree with my boobs and I think I may be taking it back which is an awful shame!


 Then there was this baby. Now I LOVE Game of Thrones, i've read them all and seen the show and I just can't get enough. (I also really think i'm a Stark) So when I saw this I HAD to have it. No question about it. Ended up picking up the wrong size but it worked out just fine as it fits loose still :)

Finally I nabbed this longline blazer thing. It's not very structured but structured enough (though I might need to add a few stitches here and there as i'm not keen on the fit of the collar bit.) I saw this one - or one like it -  in MelonLady's haul and I loved it. Consequently I felt an overwhelming desire to buy my own!
I will be doing some blog posts featuring these over the month so keep posted.
I began following Jenems on IG a little while ago and I thought everything that they stocked was extremely pretty! I decided that I wanted pretty things in my life and so bought a few bits and bobs. I'd give it a go if you like gems, chokers, 90's style jewellery etc. Their website is: http://jenems.bigcartel.com

Along with my purchases they sent me a 10% discount code AND a raffle ticket for their raffle draw where you can win: A scrunchie, galaxy necklace, ring and choker.
P.S. The only reason I don't have a photo of me in the choker is...I have a chunky neck that it doesn't fit around :( Stupidly didn't measure it before I ordered but will try and find an extension for it.
P.P.S. I am really ill right now so the only makeup I have on is a Bourjois CC cream!
- Tartan scrunchie - £3 - Perfect for loose messy buns!
- Cross choker - £3 - Check your measurements...
- Hamsa necklace - £6 - Amazing! It's my little nod to Karou from the Daughter of smoke and bone trilogy :)
- Druzy ring in Rocket Blue - £4 - As it's adjustable, it fits my sausage fingers!























 





It's hereeeeeee! Sorry it took a longggg time but there was a LOT of stuff and I share a camera with the bf so that caused logistical issues!
Anyway, here it is, my SUPER HAUL! There won't be one like this for a while I can imagine :P 
 I really wanted to just dive on this pile and cover myself in it, but I restrained myself :) (P.S. Click the individual images to go to the product on the site)



First up are these ridiculously amazeballs jumpers from 'Alice Takes a Trip' they're super cosy and roomy and the only pastel pink things I own!

ALL of these lovelies were from MissGuided! I've only ever bought one thing from there before but there was just too much I liked this time around :)
Miss Pap
 
I bought these from Miss Pap in the sale, I couldn't resist as they were a fiver! As you can probably imagine, they are gone completely now but go browse the site as there's some really good stuff!

Both of these babies were from In The Style. They're just really fun and casual which I love. I've worn both of them and you definitely get some looks with the boobie top! (Also the perkiest they have ever been haha)

 I haddd to buy the NAKED palette from Urban Decay, everyone loves it and now I know why, eyeshadow is now the easiest thing ever! Bought mine from Feel Unique as you get two free little samples of random things (I got a CC cream and Burberry fragrance)

I haven't bought anything from Toppers in a long time, but i've had my eye on these ripped mom jeans for a while so I NEEDED to buy them, and a buy from Topshop wouldn't be complete without lipstick (I LOVE their lippies!)

Fiiiiiinally I bought this gorgeous fantastic amazing wonderous coat from River Island. It has to be the best coat ever, it's functional and practical but looks FAF. Leather sleevy bits, parka material, zips AND poppers, a big ol hood, detachable fur AND it's furry inside! Why would you not want to own this?! Haha.
So that is the end of my online haul :) I love EVERYTHING i've bought and everything came surprisingly quickly too which was a bonus!














First things first, I am sorting out the online haul post today, 100% So that will be up later :) 
I HAD to show you this jumper though! On a wander through Bexleyheath I just happened to wander into River Island...upon entering I automatically drifted towards this little beaut. 
 http://www.riverisland.com/women/knitwear/jumpers/Lime-mohair-stepped-hem-jumper-656750
It's just gorgeous. Being mohair it definitely feels gorgeous as well! The colour is reallllly vibrant and i've wanted something lime in my life and this is just perfect. I decided to take some pics in it as I don't think the one on the site does it any justice if i'm honest...(this was the first time using my camera's self timer so i'm a bit deer in the headlights haha)

 As you can see, the colour really stands out (and also it's very see through!)
I think i'll be wearing mine with a vest underneath as i'm not very brave...
I've tried it with dark jeans and it's great, and I randomly decided to pair it with my light 'mom' jeans for a laugh but tucked in, it looks AMAZINGLY 90's so you may see that outfit in the future :) 
So this was todays OOTD.
It all came from good old Primarni and comes in at £20 if not less! The shoes were only £4 (I know right!) and so obviously I now have them in 3 colours :)
I wore this to work today knowing that I was going to be teaching a (albeit boring) gymnastics lesson, so I needed something easy to move and stretch in.
These printed pants are PERFECT! It's the nearest thing to being in PJ bottoms without actually BEING in PJ bottoms, they're glorious.
I thought the outfit was a bit boring on its own and needed a bit of bling so I added my Disney Couture bangle and owl necklace from New Look.
I would take lovely photos but I can't seem to find my camera/I have noone to take them for me :( So you'll have to make do with this rubbish for now.
This just makes me think I want a bob, but then I remember what that was like last time!

It's finallyyyyy hereeeee!!!
I <3 Victoria's Secret PINK. I am obsessed with it and believe it or not it's one of the big things I get excited about when I go to Florida (After Disney of course!)
When VS came to the UK I was superrr excited as I had hoped it would also mean that PINK would too...however I've been let down with that :( 
The website does provide International shipping but it does cost quite a bit. 
The main reason I love the PINK range is that it's the epitome of stylish sports/casual. It was originally aimed at college students so as you can imagine they sell lots of trackies!
* https://www.victoriassecret.com/pink *
I did have to rein myself in as I would have blown ALL of my spending money in this shop because I am obsessed! Here are my amazing purchases :)



 I























As you can clearly see, one of the defining features of the PINK range is that it has the word PINK on everything! I love it because 9 times out of 10 the products aren't actually pink :)
I loved all of the sequins this year because they just made it that much better and I adore leopard print so I HAD to have the jumper! I discovered a love for yoga pants this year and I have exactly the same pair with a leopard print (again!) band, but they're in the wash...
On my first trip there, they had a deal on that if you spent a certain amount you automatically got a free bag and cup, so I didn't even have to pay for those!
I can't even say what my favourite thing is because I love it all :D
I would definitely say to give it a look if you like what you see and if you're holidaying to America anytime soon you NEED to shop here!
