Bad Blogger x3

I have been such a sucky blogger on here lately the majority of the time I post mainly on Confessions Of A Nail Polish Addict which is very naughty of me as this blog was here first & I do actually have a lot of things i could post about such as my carmine box’s, shopping hauls, trips away, My ebay & Pinterest addiction (although I keep calling it pininterest) etc… etc…

But for now I’m going to show you my 2 of my absolute favourite purchases from this month.

First up is my favourite purchase of the 2. This is something you may remember from way back in my August In my monthly must haves post. This has also been in my wishlist for god knows how long & I never thought I’d manage to get it as they stopped selling them in october…Enter Ebay! I finally figured out Paypal (yea I’m pretty slow) & low & behold there was my coat…. an unwanted Christmas present brand new with tags. It shall be mine!!! I became a little obssevive checking my bids on my breaks staring at it through the screen as though I could will it into my possesion but in the end my stalking payed off and this little beauty is finally mine!

.

I bought it for £46 the RRP is £90 from River island & I freaking love it! I’m off to Amsterdam at the end off the month & this will be great as its just sooo cosy

The 2nd are these

UGG boots! Yay I’m finally a legitimate member of the UGG tribe these were £200 (it scares me a little when I say it out loud) but they are sooo worth it they are the comfiest boots I have ever worn & again these will be perfect for walking around Amsterdam

& Heres me all snuggly in them …

Which Outfit? The Dilemma…

Ok I officially have issues…. Last week I couldn’t decide which dress to buy so I bought both this week its shoes again I was stuck between 2 gorgeous pairs so I did the only thing a self confessed shopping addict would do…….. I bought them both.

I showed you my new purchase’s in my last post now heres the outfits put together I’ll be wearing One of them tonight & will post pictures of me wearing it on my next post…

Peach Lace River Island Dress

or

Black & Gold Sequinned Topshop Dress

After the dress choice it’s which shoes? lol I love them both & they are sooo comfy

Which outfits do you like best?

Black & Gold….

Did a spot of shopping today, It was supposed to be Christmas shopping but I got more stuff for me than anyone else lol heres what I bought…

The purse is actually a birthday present for my mum it’s her birthday on the 2nd but I may invest in one for myself. The bag is beautiful and has a gorgeous black & white striped interior.  I absolutely LOVE both of these shoes and I can’t decide which to wear tommorow so I may wear one of each and call it a fashion statement (I’m so cool & hip like that). I also can’t decide which dress so I may have to go in the nuddy pants :0

Please help!

Sequins & Lace – A Tale Of Two Dresses….

Well as you may or may not know it was my 23rd birthday yesterday (I’m soo old! lol) & to celebrate my birthday next weekend me and 6 of my friends are off to Geordie land aka Newcastle for the weekend & I want to look FANTASTIC! (Or try to anyway). I’ve been dress hunting online & seen a bazillion pretty dresses some of which I posted in Sequins?. But when I went to try the dresses on in the shop they were nowhere to be found & were only being sold online (booo). And I like to try things on before I buy because although they may look nice on the picture they may look hideous on me plus I would have had to order about 12 dresses in different sizes which would cost a fortune & I had no time to be sending them backwards & forwards etc etc so to cut a long and boring story short I went to meadowhall & tried another bazillion dress I liked on and here are the 2 I liked best…..

From
River Island

Baroque Bodycon Sequin Dress £58

 I actually saw this dress online but I wan’t really keen on it untill I saw it in the shop. It is seriously stunning the photo doesn’t do it justice, the only problem is that its really small sizing’s and not much stretch so whereas I’m normally a uk size 6 I had to get the uk size 8. It’s also a bit on the pricey side but other than that it fits perfect & looks great.

From

Topshop

Pink Lace Bodycon Dress £32

An absolute bargain if you ask me (which you probably didn’t) especially for River Island. I actually have this dress in the Pink colour but you can’t really see the detail because of the white background which is why I also posted it in the Navy. It has diamond shaped cut outs on the sides and is sheer on the top. It’s so fitted and soft it fits great and looks great.

I loved both of these dresses sooo much I really couldn’t decide which to buy, so in the end I bought both (I just can’t help my self). The only problem now is deciding which to wear to go out in but I’ve decided im going to wait till the actually night when I’ve done my hair and make up and then try them on & see which I think is best. With both outfits I plan on using this bag…..

River Island

Black & Gold Envelope Clutch £25

&

Some gorgeous black & gold heels from Dorothy Perkins which I can’t for the life of me find online. I think they were £40 but I’ll post a picture on friday when I buy them

Also anybody from or been to Newcastle on a night out? Whats it like? Where’s a good place to go?

Kurt Geiger = Happy Feet

I pretty sure I’m a shoe-a-holic as yesterday I went and bought Elle magazine which I have never EVER bought in my enitre life, simply because it had a free £20 gift card for Kurt Geiger included in it. So I’ve searched through his entire line & have fallen completely head-over-heels for these beauties, the only problem is I can’t decide which colour!

Another plus is that these are currently on sale from £120 to £69 (apart from the emerald ones which are £79) which would make them £49/59 with the gift card. So what do you guys think? What colour should I choose? Does anyone else buy magazine solely for the free gift? lol

Decoden my new obsession….

I have a new love & I’ve got it bad and its name is Decoden! Up until a couple of weeks ago i’d never even heard of it Im sure some of you have and some of you haven’t so heres the low down on Decodenning in my point of veiw.

What is Decoden?

It’s basically when you take something dull and uninteresting such as this….

and turn it into something like this….

Decoden is a term origanated in Japan ‘deco’ meaning to decorate and den from the japanese word denwa meaning phone but decoden doesn’t just has to stop at phones cases the possibilities for decoration are endless as if you look on etsy you will find out. You can decorate phones cases, ipod cases, jewellery boxes, mirrors, clothes, vases, you name it you can decorate it.

How can I get into it?

Here in the UK there are very VERY few craft stores that sell anything remotely like the decoden peices you see here,

but Ebay & Etsy have loats of sellers that sell great decoration peices for a great price. Also if you google it there are many more stores that sell deco peices.

Where should I start?

As Im also a newcomer to this crazy but completely awesome deco world I’d say a cheapish phone case would be your best bet. I ordered the one above for my Iphone 4s from Amazon for the bargain price of £2 with free delivery. Amazon are great for cheap phone case they do a case for almost any phone but if they don’t sell your phone case then a small pocket mirrer such as this…

This makes a great base for design and they are relativly cheap to buy but just let your imagination run wild.

What do I need?

You can use basically any craft glue but the best glues for decoden are E600 glue & Gemtac glue

You can find both on Amazon or at most craft/DIY stores.

I have bought Swarovski crystals for my case but you can use almost anything to decorate your items thats the beauty of decoden. For supplies e.g. bows, flowers etc… i’d recommend buying from etsy as they have a huge range of items and sellers. but there are also sellers on ebay and online shops you can buy from.

Where’s your phone case then?

Well thats the part that sucks :(, I’ve received everything but the crystals (I’ve ordered swarovski crytals also bought on amazon) so im stuck waiting around but hopefully they should be here next week once I’ve done i’ll post a picture for you all to see hopefully it’ll turn out well

Anyway if you have any questions feel free to ask & I’ll try my best to help

Bad Blogger is back….

Hey hey well i’m back I suck at blogging I apologise to anyone that cares Sorry! xxxx I kept meaning to write and then I just couldn’t be bothered (im lazy its a sickness) but now I’m ready to try again.

Righto not much has changed but 1st things first (like they’d ever be anywhere else?) I will introduce you all to my new best friend my Iphone 4s or my Ibaby as I prefer to call it.

Now don’t worry I’m not a crazy Apple geek this actually only my 2nd apple purchase the first being my Ipod nano way way back in college (around 3years ago im sooooo old :’(). I was never a fan of the Iphone 3 it was ugly, I liked the shape of the Iphone 4 but had just got a balckberry which I loved, so for 18months I’ve been a blackberry girl but it was time for an upgrade this month & I was rather bored of the BB as the camera is shocking & so is the screen resolution & it was old and slow, plus my bf had just upgraded to the Iphone 4 & I obvioulsy had to one up him & the Iphone 4s was the obvious choice (thats love right there). Nehoo enough phone babble I love it & that is the end of that & because I love it I want to spoil it and know the perfect way. A brand new phone case….

‘A phone case?’ I hear you ask? (cos I have super duper hearing abilities)

‘Yes’ I reply (cos obviously you have super duper hearing aswell)

I know what your thinking (cos I’m a mind reader with super hearing)

I think not! Now I’m sure some of you will have heard of them but for thse of you who haven’t I’m talking about a Lux Addiction phone case because man I love the bling & sparkles! I been watching reveiws on youtube like a mad stalker crazy person & I’m utterly convinced that I MUST have one NOW! But as the usually retail at $79.95/£50.62 I am far too poor to buy one Waaahhhh :’( but light oh holy light it’s my birthday in less than month (18th November for all you who want to send gifts ) my mother dearest says she’ll buy me one. Wooo worry over you may think, well think again they have 137 awesome styles to choose from & I am at a loss as which to purchase just to prove how difficult choosing is here are some of my favourites…..

Style 404

Style 011

Style 394

Style 362

The pictures are much clearer on the website but they are all handmade using swarovski crystals, they also do custom orders which is great. So does anyone own or has owned one of the cases let me know what you think as I LOVE them be back soon hopefully with some DIY bits and bobs

Kurt Geiger Leopard Heels= HOT

I’m not exactly a big fashion label/designer lover but I wonder if my bank balance would blame me for blowing £150 on these bad boys!

I ADORE these!

What do you think?

These boots were made for walking….

…& thats just what they’ll do! One of these days the boots are gona walk all over you! dumdadumdadadum….

Nehoo I bought some really cute boots in the sale yesterday I lurve them! They’re kind of like cowboy boots but with a modern twist (although I would freakin LOVE some cowboy boots)

Nehoo here they are…

They were £20 down from £49.99 I just had to have them I just need somewhere to wear them BOO

Also I bought some new sandals too YAY as I’ve manged to break the zip on one pair so I couldn’t get them off & had to cut them off :’( it was a sad time for all involved (well just me really). Athough they did have a good run as I bought them last year & wore them almost everyday. & then last weekend I managed to break my favouritist pair ever :’( & break my toe when a rogue cobble attacked me, in my defense it came from nowhere & the 3 bottles of wine were certainly not to blame. honest.

These were also a sale item (what can I say? I’m a bargain hunter) They were £15 down from £25 I actually wanted black but I figured I always wear either black or silver jewellery with my outfits anyway & I’ve got silver sandals so I’ll have a pair to match.

Oooo & lastly I bought this…

Yeah I know last thing I need is more nail varnish, but it’s a great colour & the icing on the cake is it actually smells like cranberries! I know right?! I’ve had it on for almost 2 days now & it still smells gorgeous! I do worry people think I’m a little special though when they see me randomly sniffing my fingers (I can’t help it it’s yummy!). I bought it for £2.99 from Boots. They have the scented varnish’s in 4 different colours & scents I cant wait to get another flavour colour.

Righto thats my bargains for now, as I’m very poor right now & must save for next weekend. I should also rest my poorly toe I hopes its better by next weekend for my Bank Holiday plans (being drunk mainly), as horror of horrors I can’t wear heels! I tried a pair on yesterday and couldnt put any pressure on it and had to crawl to the mirror to see what they looked like (luckily nobody was around) & I have a certain pair of Leopard print heels calling my name.

Ok now I’ve done blabbering I’ll leave you all to your day
