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?

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…..

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.

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?

Sequins?….

Are they a YES YES YES Or HELL NO?

As I personally am a lover of all things shiny, glittery, blingy or sparkly then sequins are most definatly a yes for me (I think).

I’m wondering this as I need (well want really but whos keeping score?) a new dress for my birthday as I’m having a girly weekend away with my besties in Geordie Land (aka Newcastle) next weekend. It’s actually my birthday on friday (23 oh the humanity!) but I’m busy all this weekend. so here are some of the pretty shiny sparkly sequinned dresses I’ve fallen in love with….

Topshop – Rare Sequinned Dress £58

Dorothy Perkins – Black Knitted Sequinned Dress £38

Dorothy Perkins – Gold Sequinned Dress £38

Dorothy Perkins – Pink Sequinned One Shoulder Dress £36

Dorothy Perkins – Grey Sequinned One Shoulder Dress £36

Dorothy Perkins – Gold & Black Sequinned One Shoulder Dress £38

Festival Fever

If you’ve ever been to a music festival such as Glastonbury, Leeds Fest, Creamfeilds, V-fest etc… You’ll know its all about standing out from the crowd & expressing yourself here are some of my favourites for festival goers & of course they’re all Animal print

My Fave Finds For Festival Fun

Does the thought of attempting to put a tent up reduce you to tears? Have you ever woke up in the middle of the night thinking your being suffocated only to realise your tents fallen down? (true story) Ever tried to put a tent up in the middle of the night with only your phone for a light? Well I have & its not fun when so my solution was this.

  A Pop Up Tent! Quite obviously genious, no messing with wires & poles wondering why your tents up but but you still have a pole in your hand. Literally open the bag and throw it and BOOM! You have a tent for the night. All you have to do is stick the hooks through the already attatched hoops and hey presto your ready to go. Still need a sleeping bag? Then look no further a matching sleeping for just £26.00 £17.33 and Tent-£19.99.

Both tent & sleeping bag are from Tesco.

Accesorize 

No matter what music festival you go to around the UK more often that not you are going to need a pair of wellies because nothing worse than have to walk around with wet feet. But don’t worry you can pick up a great pair from around £10.

   

These little leopard print beauties will keep your tootsies stylish & dry for £22.00 from SoYouShoes

(also in sliver)

Love your leggings? Feeling daring? Then these can keep you looking and feeling hot on those colder days for £20

This little parka isas practical as it is stylish with a hood to keep you warm and dry on those rainy days you can always keep it on hand and fold it away into its handy little bag and it’ll fit nicely in your handbag till you need it a definate festival must have this parka costs £30 River Island

Another festival esesential is a brolly! And what better brolly to go with your parka than a Leopard print one.

Brolly £14.99 River Island

I have to say I frikkin LOVE THIS seriously I want one it’s too cute! £16.99 River Island

Hmmm just thinking now I seem to have some seriously random addictions like nail varnish & anything leopard print, but another one is hats and scarfs I have 3 draws full & I still buy more every year I may end up adding these to my collection its just so pretty! Plus its on sale £24.99 £10.00 River Island

For those sunnier days (which lets face are rare) these sunnies would be perfect for keeping the sun out of your eyes (& eyeing up those sexy festival boys) keep your peepers perfect for £14.99 River Island

Speaking of obsessions bags are another thing infact i post my obsessions collections on it a later post but i must say this weekend bag is gorgeous! Tbh it would probably be too small for me as me & the expression ‘travel light’ do not mix. But for those of you who can manage not to take 4 million ‘just incase outfits’ it would be perfect its not cheap but not a bank breaker at £54.99

Well they are my Festival Favourites I’m actually gutted that Im not going this year as I love festivals but to all of you who are

ROCK ON!
