I just wanted some new brushed for everyday that were cheap and the blush brush was £2 and the powder brush was £3.50 but I got them both for £3.50 as they were BOGOF such a good deal and they're actually really good brushes.

Velvet Teddy was a re-buy, it's so lovely and can be worn all day everyday.

 

 

I recently went to New York on a work trip and re-bought my favourite cleanser, I highly recommend this.

I love Rainbows and I love pink so this sweater is the one. I fell in love with it in the Marie Claire fashion cupboard a few months ago when I was working there and I managed to nab it in the NAP Christmas sale for half price.

I also got my jeans in the Gap Christmas sale and they are the comfiest jeans ever, I'd definitely recommend.

As you can see in the last month I have been on a bit of a spree...it's only when I put this post together that I really how much I had bought.

As you all know I went to Thailand last month so of course I was at the MAC counter in the airport...I love buying make-up nearly as much as I do clothes and there's no greater feeling than trying out your new products for the first time (other than wearing new clothes for the first time). I finally bought Lady Danger after hearing and seeing it all around the blogosphere! I will be doing a review on these bits sometime in the near future. I was also desperate for some new brushes so ended up buying pretty much the entire set - oops.

Then there's the clothes, of course not needing any of them but clearly couldn't resist. Some if these items have already popped up in posts, so I apologise for that!

Can you justify buying 3 new pairs of shoes in less than a month? Of course, I needed all three. The t-bar shoes were just too cute to say no, I've been lusting after sliders for a while and they were a great price and I was desperate for a new pair of trainers as I am wearing my Adidas Stella McCartney's to death.

I haven't gone this crazy in a while so I feel it is acceptable and I'd just returned from holiday so of course I needed to help cure the blues!

Top - H&M// Jeans - Topshop// Sliders - ASOS

 

Yay the sun is finally shining on a day I am off work so I took the opportunity to wear my new gorgeous sliders. I spent today chilling with some of my lovely friends and went for a classic comfy outfit - you can't go wrong with a Breton, jeans and a bit of red lippy.

 

My sliders were bought in the ASOS sale, with the extra 15% off the sale promotion they have running at the moment I got them for just under £9 - such a bargain for real leather shoes!

 

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend.

Happy hump day!

I thought I would give you some outfit inspiration if you were off for a night out this weekend! I bought this Zara dress for £29.99 about two weeks ago and I just loved the colour and the mesh sleeves. It was the perfect dress to wear with my new Louboutins featured previously here. I couldn't find a High Street alternative for the shoes but I think it would look great with any black or even red patent pointed pumps. 

How cool is my bag? I bought this on Khao San Road in Bangkok for 300 Baht which is less than £3! With all the Coca Cola pieces floating around this season (especially the amazing Ashish pieces) I just had to buy it! It's actually handmade from coca cans which makes it that little bit cooler. 

Are you buying anything new to wear out this weekend?

Snow Chic

Coat - Topshop, Jumper - Topshop, Hat - Topshop, Jeans - River Island

So I thought I'd make use of the snow and show off my new Topshop buys. I know there is some mismatch with the colourings here but I find that when it's freezing and snow is on the ground colour coordination has to be pushed to the side for maximum warmth.
I have so many coats but not one that actually is a sensible colour, this navy one is as close as it gets to a colour that can be worn with most things. I think I need to invest in a black one for next winter.

My lovely Purple Cossack arrived yesterday and is only £7 from £22 in the Topshop sale, they still have some in stock so get on there quick!

I've actually had this jumper for a couple of weeks now but today is the first time I've worn it. I purchased it purposely to wear with these heart print jeans as I think the mint and the white go well together and the fact the hearts on the jeans are black it also matches the black 'O' on the jumper. As you all know I love pastel colours so this jumper was a must have and I would have bought it without needing something to wear with these jeans it just gave me a perfect excuse.

This jumper also from Topshop I think is gorgeous and I love the colour, but as they are quite similar and I've put myself on a clothing ban as of today I guess I better not buy it.

Although you can't really see it and my close up picture wouldn't upload for some strange reason I am wearing my MAC lipstick in 'Eloquent air' from their limited edition range 'Glitter and Ice' it is a gorgeous thick lipstick and it lasts for a long time without needing to be topped up. I've been told I look like an ice queen with this on and my lilac hair but I love it because it's so different from the usual pinks and reds that people wear.

As Black As Your Hat

Faux Fur Coat - ASOS, Shirt - ASOS, Skirt - Therapy at House of Fraser, Tights - House of Holland for Pretty Polly, Earrings and Necklace - Topshop, Boots - Dr Martens

Every where I go I always get comments about looking like Lady Gaga and I really don't see it. Even more so since getting my lilac hair and full fringe.

I keep wearing my Dr Martens all the time, I just love the way they look with my outfits and the fact that they're black means I can wear them with anything. I know my outfit is pretty all round dark but I thought the Fur coat gave it some colour and I had red lipstick on with it. Some times I think all black outfits are nice especially as I went for my quirky House of Holland for Pretty Polly tights which I love along with all the others from this range. I actually picked these up for £3 from a vintage clothes store which was lovely!

The necklace and earrings that I have on I got from Topshop yesterday along with the two rings below. Topshop jewellery I think can be a little overpriced sometimes so I love it when I go in there and see they have a sale on it. I got all 4 pieces for £9 which saved me a fortune as the two rings were originally £10 each down to £2.50, the necklace was £12.50 down to £2.50 and the earrings were £7.50 down to £1.50 so I was pretty pleased with that.

One thing I just had to purchase yesterday was a new MAC black liquid eyeliner as mine had ran out the day before. I wear liquid eyeliner most days, but it's not an essential item of make-up for me unlike mascara, but I feel I always need it there just in case and then end up putting it nearly everyday anyway.

What do you think? Are there any items of make-up you have to replace as soon as they run out?
