How It All Started

Friday 8 August 2014

It's been a while...

I decided after starting my new job all the way back in February to have a break and really concentrate on getting my head around a new role. I am happily settled in now and need to get back to posting about my latest buys and wants.



I have been a bit naughty and just ordered some more black items for my wardrobe....(no surprise there!).
I received an email from Select Fashion with their new in items and i couldn't resist a look!





I know your thinking, has this girl not got enough chunky black boots and countless black handbags....well i don't feel like i do. I have finally given in to the black hat trend....It was going to happen sometime...

With Select Fashion prices being so reasonable there is no reason not to buy.


Go check the website out for some seriously good bargains!

Weekly Life Report #2


001. I heard fantastic news on Wednesday, I am so pleased that i am now employed!! (yay!!)
I am looking forward to starting something new and getting stuck in!. There is nothing worse than worrying about bills and budgeting. I look forward to treating myself to a few bits each month to share with everyone! I am going to be working full time so i will only be posting when i can from now on. My Daily Want will turn into my Weekly Wants so i can talk about a few items at once and include a nice little collage!

002. I have some fabulous new boots! I know my boot addiction is getting worse but hey a woman can never have enough footwear.....I got them later than i thought i would...damn delivery man!! but they gorgeous so i can't complain for too long!.

003. I visited The Discovery Museum with one of the besties Jade. I forget how interesting life in Newcastle used to be. We loved the different eras and i took some sneeky photos!. We spent a good two and a half hours there. It was good to do something different and it's free entry so it is even more worth going to see!. We then went for a Costa and of course a trip to Boots to drool over the make up!.

These are a few photos i took at the Discovery Museum. The lighting wasn't great but you can get the idea!


004. I spent Friday night with my Auntie and we had a night at the cinema to see Last Vegas (which was so so funny!), then curled up on the sofa with a good old KFC! Yummy!



005. I woke up on Tuesday with a blocked ear so i was deaf until Thursday when i managed to unblock it and i'm so thankful i can listen to music again and not walk like i'm drunk!.

006. I am looking forward to next week when i can have a shop with my sister and then relax in my PJs on Sunday!

Daily Want #9



I haven't had a denim dress since i was really young and i found this one from Topshop.
I love the acid wash look it looks more grungy and worn. I think it would look perfect in winter with tights and big baggy cardigan or it would be lovely and cool/breezy in the summer with chunky sandals. It is £36.00 so a bit more on the expensive side but would be a great 'treat myself' dress. I love the button detail and the pockets, they just add something extra to the plain skirt. I also like the baby doll shape as it shows off your waist but then is comfortable over your hips.

Bleach London Temporary Colour





Like a lot of people i have been very tempted by the Bleach London temporary colours.
I think if i was to experiment with them i would choose these three. I am not a pink girl at all, i don't know why but i am just not girly in that way at all. I often use the Purple Shampoo by Bleach London which i will post on very soon and i am very happy with the quality of it for the price. I have seen and heard good things about these colours and i like the way you don't have to commit to anything as they wash out!. I think towards the summer i will definitely have a go and have different hair for a while!



Daily Want #8



I spotted this phone case on New Looks site the other day and i loved it! Its only £4.99. I have about 15 cases for my iPhone so i don't need any more but i just couldn't help wanting it!. I do usually buy my cases on eBay as they are super cheap. I think the more expensive cases make excellent presents as they do tend to be a better quality so they last longer!

Boohoo Picks!


A few of my Boohoo.com picks, I have been a fan of Boohoo for a while now and i always see plenty of things i want. I know what your thinking "they are all black!!" I'm sorry i just cant help but be attracted to black pieces. I'm loving the sheer cut out shoulder blouse as its a twist on a classic blouse. Velvet is in trend at the moment and i really love how more fancy it can make a dress or skirt etc look. Chunky sandals are definitely on my list for summer! I am definitely going to invest in a good kimono too as it looks so good over any dress! 








Daily Want #7



As you can already tell i absolutely love chunky style shoe/boots. I found these ones on eBay for £19.99 and i'm loving that they are the classic loafer style with a grungy edge. I'm a huge fan of flatforms as i cant wear heels without my feet hurting after about half an hour (i know i'm a terrible girl!!). They are super comfy but you still get the height and feel a bit more dressed up than just wearing flats. I think they would look great with everything with them being plain. You can also get these in patent if you like things more on the shiny side!
