Lingerie Pretties

A friend of mine once said "there is no point in buying fancy underwear unless somebody is going to see it". She also said in the same breath "it doesn't matter if you do wear fancy underwear anyway 'cus nobody ever pays attention to it if they are seeing it." - *insert cry-laughing emoji here*

I personally feel that buying a nice underwear set makes me feel good! I look good and feel super confident in it - regardless of if it's only me seeing it or if Evan Peters was in the room with me (plz let that happen?).

I've been having a browse at some pretty lingerie online and here are my faves:

Kyoto Ivory Set - Wacoal.
This is such a delicate and pretty pattern and in my usual underwear styles.

Mae High Waisted Brief - Fantasie
NO underwear makes me feel more confident than some high-waisted bottoms. They shape my bootay perfectly and tuck in my hips. Love ittt!

Satin Balconette Bralet and High Waisters - Topshop
I would actually love to treat myself to this. I LOVE the bralettes cage style - sadly I don't think it will fit my massive knockers in there! Topshop needs to cater for bigger boobs!! They do have it in the shorter style which I could probably def persuade myself to go for...

Crochet Lace Set - Forever 21
I never normally do white (heh) but this is so pretty! 

Louisa Bra - John Lewis.
This is so pretty and dainty. I love the dusky blue.

Minnie Set - Panache Cloe (via Bravissimo)
Love the cutie yellow and blue colours on this. Also love Panache for catering to them bigger boobies.

Well in the space of me writing this I actually did order the Topshop set (in the shorter bra) and also a t-shirt with a cat on it. I'm my banks worst nightmare.

Hope you all had a super weekend, I spent mine walking, drinking and sleeping - FUN!

In Utero - outfit post.

Hello!

Hope your week is going well, it's finally Friday and I'm so excited for a lay-in tomorrow!

Today I have an outfit post to share, it's great for warm days - not so great for this crazy rain we've had all week:

Sunglasses - Topshop
Kimono - Primark
Top - ebay
Jeans - Primark
Shoes - H&M

I love this kimono so much, I picked it up in Primark last month, it's really sheer, a beautiful print and really soft material.

I couldn't resist the cheapy Nirvana tank, In Utero is definitely their best album and it reminds me of my teenage years.

This always happens in Summer - I seem to want to always wear jeans! I never wear jeans except for in these warmer months which makes no sense at all! I've been trying to watch my weight again which is hard for me as I love food so much but eating healthy does make me feel much better. I'm hoping to start some exercise next month but the only thing with joining a gym is that by the time I get home from work I'm so tired and being on my feet all day means my legs ache too - like right now! I was going to go out but then I took my shoes off and now I can't move from the sofa :p

Hope you have a great weekend, I'm getting tattooed tomorrow for the first time in a year - can't wait!

Mandala Print - outfit post.

The Past couple of weekends the weather has been so glorious here in Wales!

This outfit I wore out to Southern Down and Ogmore beaches during a little advenute in the sunshine. I wore a jacket but I had to take it off as it was super warm in the sun. We ended up in a beer garden and had a pub Sunday roast with a cider - it was lovely!

Dress - Motel.
Jacket - Topshop.
Sunglasses - Primark.
Boots - Clarks.

I got this dress as a birthday present from Ross, I love the print and the fit and want to get it in blue aswell.

Hope your week is going swell!

Aliens From Outta Space - outfit post.

Ahh! I set this outfit post to go live on Friday but it simply didn't! 

Weird! Anyway now I have to re-write it haha.

This weekend I went to a gig, danced with my pals, had mass amounts of fast-food and also went to a drag show (again). I'm still recovering today and have made myself homemade soup to keep me going.

This outfit I wore a few weekends back when I was out record shopping in our local area:

Norse Projects Beanie - Pavilion Clothing
Coat - Topshop
Alien T-Shirt Dress - Local Heroes

Black Boots - H&M

Hope you had a great weekend!

I Love Lara - outfit post.

2014 is here! Happy New Year folks! 

I spent me New Year with a huge group of my pals partying in houses which was super fun. My Birthday was also yesterday (the 2nd) so I've been a pretty busy bee the past 3 weeks but now it's time to settle back into routines.

I wore this outfit over to Merthyr last weekend as the weather was sunny but also pretty chilly, with all the 'Borg' I felt like a blue haired, less athletic Lara Croft in the first Tomb Raider for Playstation 1 (remember that?!):

Dress - Topshop
Jacket - Topshop
My hair that was purple/supposed to be lilac is now...blue. I actually quite like it.

Hiking Boots - Topshop.

Glass Heart Choker - Sugarless Skulls *

A whole outfit of Topshop. The jacket and boots were a Christmas gift.

Token cat.

How did you spend your NYE?

Winter Boots - I Just Can't Get Enough.

Once I find a pair of boots for  the Winter - I'm done!

I'm still in my navy, borg boots from last year and I really fancy a change. Since it's November already I've been planning on what to ask for Christmas and boots are on the top of the list - so here are the boots that have made my short-list... so far!

MURRY Hiker Cuff Boot - Topshop.
These are my ultimate favourite, I don't just want these I need these! I've been looking for some passable hiking boots that actually look good too. 

Elastic Lace-Up Boot - Topshop
These are so cute but they look like they have no grip and I would slide so much!

Desert Hugs - Clarks
I've included these before, I love Clarks desert boots and these are the ultimate in keeping your feet warm.

Chunk Sole Burgundy Desert Boots - Dune.
This colour is gorgeous and I love the slightly thicker sole for a desert boot.

Leather & Wool Tartan Boots - F-Troupe
The sweetest and of course most expensive! Super 'on-trend' with the tartan and adorable too.

I'm pretty sure it's a toss up between the Clarks and the Hiking Boots as a winner for me, what do you think?

P.S -
As its getting colder QCumber Clothing have set up 'Every jumper bought - a jumper is donated to the homeless' basically you buy an awesome QCumber Jumper and they will personally be going out on the 16th and 17th giving their jumpers to the homeless to keep them a bit warmer during these freezing days/nights.

This is only on until the 10th so be quick and do a good deed today! 

Fluffy Jumper - outfit post.

Last weekend we took a trip down to the Mumbles in Swansea. The weather was perfect so we walked all down the harbour, got an amazing ice cream (mine was black cherry and vanilla) and then found a little rocky beach to explore.

This is the outfit I wore:

In Autumn/Winter I basically live in a skirt and jumper and I recently picked up a black fluffy jumper from Primark for £10. I'd seen them in Topshop about 20 minutes previously for £45 (or £35 for a cropped one) and couldn't really say no to the bargain. I know the quality won't be as good and also Topshop did have some amazing colours but i couldn't justify the price-tag for such a similar item! I really hope Primark do some more fun colours like this mint fluffy jumper or this multi coloured fluffy jumper.

Fluffy Jumper - Primark
Dress - Topshop
Boots - River Island
Hair-Bow - Primark

It's so soft and fluffy!

One of my favourite beach things to do - collect awesome rocks and pebbles then arrange them.

Are you feeling the fluffy jumper this season?

Plaid + Denim outfit post.

I've been MIA the past week due to operations and partying in London - but now I'm back!

Shirt - H&M
Necklace - Topshop
Denim Skirt - Topshop
Vest - H&M

I only managed to grab one pic of this outfit as I had to dash off out. I prefer keeping things simple when going on a night out as I usually end up in no fit state to be keeping an eye on my outfit ;p

Last week I was featured on the House of Fraser blog chatting about dressing for your shape - you can see that HERE.

The weather here is amazing so I'm off to hit the park with a cold drink and a good book!

GirlsGirlsGirls Exhibition - outfit post.

Last week I went to the launch of a photography exhibition called GirlsGirlsGirls in Urban Outfitters Cardiff. As I mentioned before I got asked by the awesome Julian Castaldi to be part of his work for the show - I'll add the picture at the end but first off here is what I wore:

Plain Black T-Shirt - H&M
Denim Skater Skirt - Topshop
Claw Necklace - Claire's Accessories

I had a lot of fun (and booze) before, during and after the show. Here is the final print:

Hope you have a great weekend!

Things I've Loved This Week

I have had such a rad week! Next week I will share with you the photos of my little trip to St.Fagans - it was so much fun!

Here are my favourite things that have caught my eye this week:

Uh oh! I super want these lilac jelly shoes! I also want a black wedged pair but they didn't have my size :( Damn my tiny little feet! 

I am in love with this gorgeous print by The Black Apple.

Kitten Pals pin pack! Also by The Black Apple

I saw this Hot Air Balloon dress in a shop near my house. I fell so hard for it and lots of other cute pieces from Sugarhill Boutique. I think it is the perfect shape and print - super me!

You HAVE to check out this awesome DIY Cat-toe shoe tutorial over at Kittenhood - I am 100% trying it!

Bobby Hill Embroidery
My life would be pretty complete is I had a full set of King of the Hill characters embroidered. I wish so bad I could make my own embroidery circles - maybe this will be a new goal! 

This Navajo camera strap  from Rigu.co.uk is so cute. I'm still after a new strap I just can't decide!
(P.S. Using the coe COWB10 you can get 10% off everything on Rigu)

Hope you have a splendid weekend!

Beach BBQ - outfit post

Last weekend I went back to Devon to pick up my new car (which I love!) and whilst there me and some of my nearest and dearest family and friends went to Slapton beach for a BBQ breakfast.

The sun was out and the breakfast was good:

Dress - Topshop
Tote - (c/o) Swansea Tattoo Company

Me & Zena Triple Pentagram Ring - (c/o) Zalando
Massive ring for a massive Pagan.

There were loads of flat rocks in different shapes and piles, I really want to go back and make my own pile and pictures! How cool is the fish!

The beach where we were was where the American and Canadian soldiers in WWII practised for the D-Day landings. They used live ammo and didn't realise - they shot and killed more of their own men here than they did in the actual landings. Crazy history on this breach and in this area I can't wait to go back and have a proper explore!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!
