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!

Green Means Go - outfit post.

Tomorrow I am off to London for a few days with my beloved. Anyone have any recommendations of fun/cheap/free things to do? I have a few museums I'm going to check out, I haven't been to London for about 3 years so I'm super excited!

Here is my outfit from yesterday, it was such a sunny but windy day and now I've seen lots of people getting snow again - crazy weather!

Skater Dress - Topshop.
(I also have it in grey - see it HERE)
Prince is unimpressed by my squidging him. 
These little dresses are my fave, I love wearing them out or in, fancy or not fancy - they work and they are so comfy! 
For the life of me I cannot remember where or how I got this ring. It's from TattyBon!
But what is better than a glittery kitty?!


Also I'm selling some items on eBay - you can see them HERE  :)

Hope your week is going great!

New Hair Colour: From Platinum to Pearl.

I've been using the same blonde hairdye (Live Colour XXL by Schwarzkopf in Absolute Platinum) for the past 8 years now. Recently, despite my hair being in good condition, it's decided to never take any brassy tones out and is leaving me with different patches of colour. Super annoying!

So I went on a mission to find a different shade and came across this one:

Pearl Blonde - L'oreal. 
BEFORE: As you can see I have brassy tones in my fringe, even though I shampoo with a toner it's been driving me wild recently, it never used to be so brassy!
AFTER: As the dye was taking to my hair it was turning a purple colour. After I washed and dried my hair it was almost a silver blonde.
I can definitely see why its called Pearl Blonde.
The photo's don't really do it that much justice, I really like the change and its so much brighter. 
I'm really not sure why after using the same dye for many years my hair decided to turn a bit brassy when it never did for years before but I like my little change. I'm sure I'll get bored in a couple weeks and end up putting a lilac or peach in it again!

What hair dyes do you use? Do you do it yourself or go to the hairdressers?

Hope you had an awesome weekend!

Things I've Loved Friday!

Happy February! 

To round up the week here are the lovely things that have caught my eye this week that I want to share: 

Oversized Globe floor cushion - This is incredible, how amazing would this look on a living room floor? 
How much does this gorgeous print look like my little Prince?! And it's named Handsome Cat. Perfect!
(Alice X. Zhang print)
Beyonce has been posting pictures of her Superbowl rehearsals all week on her site and Instagram. I am too excited for this one, it's gonna be HUGE! Hopefully me and my housemates will be getting in some food and beers and having a mini-Superbowl party.
Eek! How cute is this Unicorn vest by Brat & Suzie? I'm obsessed with Unicorns so this is amazing.
They have other cute animals too that are part of their 'SS13 Carousel Dreams' and are exclusive to ASOS.
How gorgeous are these XL Blue Quartz necklaces? I love spending ages looking at handmade jewellery so when I came across this Etsy shop I was instantly in love!

This is the new video from my housemates & pals Chain of Flowers
The video got launched on NME.com and the 7" single is up for pre-order HERE.
Check it out and let me know what you think :)


What have you been loving this week?

Hope you all have a great and safe weekend!

January Favourites Roundup

Even though it's my Birthday month, a new year and time for new beginnings and resolutions, I always feel super blue in January. It's too cold, Spring seems super far away and there just isn't that much to do!

But instead of dwelling on it I thought I'd share with you some of the highlights of my month that have certainly brightened it up:

We won this super rad light-up constellations globe on eBay. It looks so pretty when you're in total darkness - the best night light!
Keeping with the space theme we also picked up this awesome galaxy print duvet set for £10. Bargain! 
I found this little cat cutter in a bargain shop my pals like to call 'The Church of Junk'. It was £1 and stamp-cuts little cats into paper.
I got these records for my birthday which was on the 2nd. I am a huge Willie Nelson fan, old country music is my jam, it's so heartbreaking! Anyway I can't wait to add more to this little collection in the future.
I got this super cute Pastel Boyfriend Cardigan in the ASOS sale - it's so warm and cosy.
My favourite beauty product this month has been Taylor Swift's fragrance Wonderstruck. I've got 3 bottles and the lotion now, it's a really sweet but subtle and long lasting smell plus TaySwift is a mega babe! The bottle is gorgeous, it shimmers in the light and the 50ml comes with a cute charm attached.
The blizzard of 2013, see my post on it HERE but seeing my kitty Prince in the snow for the first time was definitely my highlight of Jan :)

What have your favourite things in January been?

I'm super looking forward to February, my goal is to bake more. Also Pancake Day is right around the corner so don't forget to enter my Pancake Day Party giveaway!
