 First of all I apologise to anyone that reads my blog regularly (if there is anyone!) for the lack of posting recently. I've been super busy and just not had much time.
However, today I decided to wear my fabulous printed jumper from:
http://alicetakesatrip.bigcartel.com/
I bought this in my super haul (see previous posts) and it's not been cold enough to wear, but I decided that I didn't care anymore and wore it anyway. I felt SUPER 80's in it, especially as I paired it with my fave ripped mom jeans. So I added a modern twist with my lion head necklace and leopard skate shoes. (I guess I ended up like a zoo...)
I also had a couple of statement rings on from New Look but you can't see them in the pictures! I finalized the look with a slick of BRIGHT pink lipstick from Toppers :)
Hope you like it!

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.
Hey! So in case you didn't know, i'm a teacher... :) so workwear can be a bittt of nightmare as I don't want to wear things that will get ruined and it needs to all be fairly flexible and conservative! 
It's taken a while but i'm getting somewhere with it. I have LOVED the past few concoctions that i've put together and I wanted to share them with you.

 
 The dress was from 'Pink Rose' in Macy's. It's such a great fit and i'm thinking of putting a belt around next time (?) The bag - which will be featured in a post sooooon - is Steve Maddenm and the leggings and my shoes are all from good old Primark :)
 OK so I totally loved this outfit. Rediscovered an old Primark blazer over the summer and put it to good use! It's such a lovely bronzey colour so it was the perfect excuse to pair it with my leopard print Primarni pumps :)
The top and jeans were also Primark, the jeans fit like a glove and are aaaaamazing. 
So what do you all think? Am I going in the right direction or is this just not working at all?!

 
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!

My new fashion obsession!
After seeing the likes of RHW, Cara and Olivia Palermo wearing this B-E-A-U-tiful Burberry blanket/cardi/cape/poncho creation, I was hooked. I've alway loved anything huge, comfy and cosy in Autumn/Winter and this ticks all of those boxes :)
Unfortunately my bank balance does not in any way support the £900 price tag so it was time to hit the high street and get creative!
Whilst what I found isn't 'technically' a cape as it actually has arm spaces, it's near enough and baggy enough to be. I found this beauty in Primark and it was £14. It's got a Greek style/chevron pattern on it which is either grey or black. 



 





 As you can see, it's mahoosive! (That's how I like it!) The fact it does have sleeves means it stays in the right place too which is great for me. I know it makes me appear 10 sizes bigger than I already am but it's getting cold so I don't care. It's fairly thick and has a really nice feel to it too. 
Perfect buy for chucking on with jeans and a tee and being effortlessly stylish.
Verdict: If you too love cosy, warm things, buy this!
Tonight I was trying to sort out my make up bag ready for holibobs on Tuesday and I raided all of my bags on the hunt for one particular nail varnish that I wanted. (It was a stressful and messy experience!) In the process I gathered quite a few 'lost' varnishes and realised I had a fairly decent nail varnish collection.
(P.S. I apologise in advance for the terrible photo quality, my phone is awful.)
 I like to try out new nail varnishes and i'm not snobby about brands either as I unfortunately tend to chip it all off out of boredom most days! (Bad habit, I know.)
My all time favourite nail varnish make is Barry M, they do such a diverse range of colours that it's hard not to love them. I recently bought a selection of pastel colours which are cute for summer...
The yellow isn't my favourite as I don't like the 'textured' effect but the others are gorgeous. From the left: - TNP2 (Station Road) 
- 279 (Bright Pink)
- 304 (Mint Green)
-308 (Berry Ice Cream)
- 306 (Blueberry Ice Cream)
My other favourites are the bright blue and pink varnishes from Primark that I featured in my first blog  post, so I won't say much more about them!
These two beautys came from a beautiful Ted Baker cosmetics set at Christmas. The pink is very subtle and gives a perfect natural nail colour and after a couple of coats the gold gives a really decent amount of sparkle!
Finally the randoms! These are the varnishes I tend not to use a lot but they end up coming in useful. The 3 tubes on the right are nail art pens from Primark, great for spots and stripes (silver, gold and mint)
The yellow I bought after the Barry M one, it's from Seventeen and is Lemon Tart.
The blue nail varnish was from a Sally Hanson Extreme Wear set.
Lastly the black is from Collection 2000 and is called Liquorice. 
I hope that this has inspired you to dig out your nail varnish collection and see exactly what you've got! You might surprise yourself :)
The sun was shining this morning and it was a beautiful day, so I thought I would be a bit floral :)
The best thing about this is that it was all a bargain!
Shoes: £8 Primark
Top: £2 Primark
Trousers: £11 Primark
Kimono: £16 Select
It was such a shame it had to rain on my parade (literally!)
For my birthday I was bought two GORGEOUS bright pink and blue nail varnished from Primark's beauty range. I couldn't wait to wear them and got to painting my (horrendous) nails right away!
Painting my nails never usually goes very well, however I found the brush the perfect size for my nails and the varnish was a great consistency. The colour looked just as bold and bright as it did in the pot and didn't require any more than 2 coats. (The blue only needed one really!)
Overall, I'm really impressed and currently have my nails both blue and pink :)
