Growing Up Slowly.

Oh Hello!!

Once again my spare room is being inhabited by a feral kitten (she's not feral now and actually going back to work tomorrow - cue heart breaking instagram posts) so I've been slacking on the ol' blog. I think this will be my last kitty for a few months as kitten season is OVER! HOORAYY! haha. 

Anyway this post you may have noticed is about growing up, and my version of growing up is buying myself a pair of boots that have a slight heel to them! I know, I'm almost 27 and I've only just managed it. I only own one pair of slightly high platforms which I've worn to death. I'm so used to wearing hiking books or little flat pixie boots that it was time to grow up and branch out. 

The moment has hit a few times when out with friends and even though I'm dressed up etc their outfits are always just a little more completed with a slight heel which automatically made me feel under-dressed. I cannot walk in heels, they hurt and I feel like Bambi after a single drink so I've opted for the small heeled boot and as shown in my purchase above - a slight platform. 

My pal Nina helped me out (as a heeled boot pro) and I settled on the ones above from New Look. I love them! I love how they are half suede and half pleather with a nice chunk of platform. I thought I would share with you a few other boots I've fallen in love with via various internet stores that maybe once I'm comfortable in my new shoes I can branch out with: 

These beauts I LOVE. They are from Daisy Street via ASOS and although I wouldn't know what the hell to wear them with  and I'd probably just sit looking at them - I think they are awesome!

These gorgeous western style boots are incredible. They are from New Look and I def have my eyes on them!

These Office glittery babes are more my height. I just think they are magical.

So there is my little slice of growing up slowly, as sad as it may seem I felt so good purchasing and wearing my new boots :)

What I Bought: Outfit Haul.

Oh Heyyy!

Today I want to share with you a few new clothing items I bought with my 2nd paycheck from my new job. I headed into town on payday and decided to treat myself to a few new items for my wardrobe:

Circle Sunglasses - New Look.
Ringer T-Shirt - New Look. (I own it in Blue too)
Super High-Waisted Skinny Jeans - New Look.

Bunny Face Crop Pyjama Top - Primark.
Def wearing this outside of bed too! So cuutee.

Secret Shapers Underwear - Primark. These are a GOD SEND!!
Frilly Socks - Primark
Mint Spotted Bra - Primark.

Hello £5 for a cute little smock dress! Thankyou Primark.
Also the grey T-shirt high-neck dress was only £8 in Primark too.

I was dead pleased with all my purchases, it felt nice to actually buy new clothes instead of feeling insecure in my current ones.

In other news I went to see The Prodigy on the weekend which was so good! Despite not being able to get wasted due to work at 8am the next morning, I still danced hard with my pals but was home before midnight! :)

I have some exciting news coming up soon, I'm just waiting for some confimations and things to go through before I reveal all (if you follow me on Twitter you may already have guessed!) but watch this space ;)

Hope you are having a great week!

Lust list: Cowboy Boots

Coming back from my trip to London I stopped by lots of cute vintage and second hand stores, the main thing I fell for was all the old cowboy boots. This set my little country soul on a mission to find me some cowboy boots I could wear casually but due to lack of funds only dream of!

I am so in love with these Aztec Boots from Nasty Gal - luckily they are not in my size otherwise I would spend my last pennies on them!

Floral Studded Western Boots - River Island.

Even & Odd Cowboy Boot - Zalando

Even & Odd Cowboy Boot in black - Zalando

Steve Madden Aztec & Stud Boot - New Look.

Do you like this little cowboy boot trend?

Although being home isn't as fun as London was I am excited to share my adventure with you guys this week once I upload all my pictures - it was such a fun trip!

Hope you've had a great weekend pals!

Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay - outfit post

This was going to be a "to keep or not to keep" post but my lovely best-friend managed to rip the tags off and wear it on a night-out haha so I guess I'm keeping!

Belted Dress - New Look.

The back is lace too which is super cute.

So yeah I'm keeping it! I do like it anyway i just am one of those "I hate my arms" girls. 

I've been window shopping all the new winter going out dresses and although this is sleeveless the colour is definitely winter! What new wintery dresses have you spied?

I also want to say a huge thankyou to all the people who still read, comment and follow even though I've only be able to post once a week for a while now, every comment I love and try hard to reply!

XXXO - outfit post.

First of all I have THESE Vivienne Westwood Melissa shoes on Ebay going in 24 hours I really want to  sell so if you are a size 3/small 4 then take a look.

Now I have to apologize, I took a whole bunch of photos for this post as I normally do, got them on the computer and then realized my lens had a smudge on it right over the pictures! But you will get the drift the rest was a really old hi-waisted black skirt and black tights.

Top - New Look
Skirt - H&M

This gorgeous aztec-style arrow-head necklace is from Raffles Bizarre, some seriously wonderful handmade treats by the lovely Jess (who is awesome to chat to on twitter!)

Also wandering if any bloggies are off to Brighton Fashion Week? Let me know as I shall be going and need buddies!

Peace

Blondes vs. Brunettes - outfit post.

Some of you might remember THIS post where I had a baby pink wig on, well I also mentioned that i bought a brunette wig. I've had my bleached blonde hair since I was 16 (I'm 21 now) and despite getting complimented on it alot I do get the urge to dye it dark!

So here is me and my wig as a brunette, I want your honest opinions! 

Also can you all take time to appreciate my swagged out shorts, I have been living in them!
The top and headband are both from New Look.

My real hair only reaches my shoulders, so if I did go dark I'd have to have extensions which I generally dislike unless you are mega rich and can afford somebody great to do it!

Don't forget I have a giveaway going on HERE, 3 people will win so get in there!!!

Posts coming up soon include new beauty reviews, tattoos, and more outfit posts.

Hope you all had an amazing weekend!

Bikini Wishlist.

I know it's super cold, even though the sun has been shining the past week, BUT think about when summer does come! How exciting!

Anyway, I've already bought 2 bikini tops (I wear them under baggy tops) you can see one HERE and the other is coming soon in another outfit post.

Here are a few of some of my fave bikini/swimsuits around online shops at the moment:

ASOS Pink Bow Bandeau - £15

Kelly Brook Contrast Bow - £16.99

ASOS Bandeau Spotted Swimsuit - £30

Topshop Apple Print - £28

Juicy Couture Spots & Stripes - £78

Seafolly Eden Floral Triangle - £41

I know some are so expensive! I love the apple print but my fave is definitely the Juicy Couture - maybe it's the tiny anchors in the spots.

Hope you all had a great weekend, I went to see Hallpass and Rango - both were fun films but I'd say Rango was the better of the two.

Peace

The One That Got Away - outfit post!

This is what I wore yesterday, me and my BFF went out for food and cinema for some Ashton Kutcher eye candy ;) 

We saw 'No Strings Attached', I'm really not into the whole romantic-comedy genre but this film was actually really funny. I may be bias as I LOVE Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher is mmmm hott, plus it also had Kelly from The American Office in it which anyone who follows me on Tumblr or Twitter knows I'm a nut for!

Blouse - New Look £18 (I get discount as I work next door).
Peg-Legs - Zara £30 + belt.

I kept my make-up to a minimum just wearing heavy eye-liner on the top lid and a Bobbi Brown lipgloss.
Necklace is from Topshop.

Owl Ring - H&M
Nail Polish - The One That Got Away - Katy Perry for OPI.

In other news I updated my blogroll list (to the left there, you see it?) and also got some really exciting news - I am now an Aussie Angel! I'm part of the 'Aussome Volume Tribe' so look out for that!

Hope your week is going smoothly!

Payday New Look Wishlist!

It's the end of the month which can only mean one good thing - PAYDAY! Friday is the big day for me, after a bleak January I can get ready to start spending again (well maybe one treat here and there). 

Now, I'm not New Look's biggest fan I have more of a love/hate relationship with them, sometimes I can go in and find alot and other times nothing catches my eye - this week I could spend a small fortune! Here are some of my favourite picks:

Peter Pan Crop Top - £14.99
This is my favourite thing, it's in my bag waiting for payday to come along! I'm so ready for summer it's unreal!

Velvet Bandeau Bra - £3.00
I've gone bra wild recently, love this for slouchy night time wear (it's also in the bag!).

Contrast Sleeve Slouchy Top -  £7.99
Perfect with jeans - always!

Cherry Trolley Case - £24.99
Anything Cherry print and I'm there, my endless need to travel also draws me to this gorgeous case.

Oversized Batwing Top - £14.99
Casual but feminine and pretty - like I said I'm all over summer right now!

Suede Moccasins - £24.99
Leopard print and Moccasins - if these aren't mine by the end of next week my life will have a small shoe shaped hole in it!

I love summer and can't wait to not have to layer up to look like the Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters!
