eBay Wishlist #2


Hey dolls,
Why is it whenever you are at your poorest you want/need everything you lay your eyes on? No doubt about it that this is just everyday life for me for richer or for poorer but after oggling over New York Fashion Week and getting constant emails off certain fashion websites for new A/W stock - I can only say that this has fuelled my shopping addiction even more. I've become obsessed with all things minimal and leather and have already started jotting down everything I want in the build up for winter! I find my winter wardrobe always a little boring and eagerly await the summer months but I'm strangely more excited for this year for some reason. 


I am also VERY jealous of all you lot heading to London Fashion Week, I would love to be there *sobs* maybe next year eh! Anyway more to the point.... Here is my 2nd eBay list with a couple of bargains you may want to snap up! Of course there is some leather in there, an A/W floral print kimono and some gold accessories - everything I love! 

Hope you like!

 Top - eBay // Skirt - Ark // Boots - H&M 

Hey dolls, 

Hope everyone is having a good week, I've been super busy with work and I've been doing a cross fit programme at the gym which is hardcore! Trying to get on a health ting and all that.... Zzzz.

A few weeks ago I was reading some of my fave blogs and fell in love with Charlotte from Lurchhound Loves outfit post and decided I had to have it! I love this 'homies' crop top and the grungy cheerleader-esque vibe she put together and to put it bluntly, I wanted it too (who didn't want to be a high school American cheerleader all their life). I noticed she got hers from Fashion Union but it was out of stock so I had a little look on eBay (shock) and found it from another supplier. I obviously snapped this up quick as yet again its another eBay bargain and you can find this top HERE. I teamed it up with the black PU skirt and my new beloved cut out H&M boots that seem to be making an appearance on EVERY post I do at the moment - a sorry, not sorry moment. 

So now I feel like my childhood cheerleader dream has come true - in the form of a 23 year old. Jheez. I'm planning on wearing this to London next week when I go and see Fabolous and visit The Making of Harry Potter Studios - TOO exciting. I won tickets for Fabolous via Wireless festival and I am very excited! Probably even more excited to run about the Harry Potter Studios like a fat kid in a sweet shop (literally). I love having something to look forward to and London is always a treat to visit even though it sometimes overwhelms me....poor little Northern girl. 

Do you like the Cheerleader look?

eBay Wishlist #1


So I decided to make a little eBay wishlist/finds type of post as I love reading other peoples, being the eBay addict that I am!You can always get super cheap stuff on eBay which is great for girls that love fast fashion and use something a few times until they fall in something else (all sounds familiar....). I have seen the tee and beenies floating round blogs for a while now and are perfect for slouch/bad hair days! I am a massive fan of chunky necklaces and have been loving the gold lion ones recently, I bought one a few months back but this one is a bit different and would look lush with a tee and blazer combo. Accompany this with a perspex clutch and voila, outfit complete! 

Do you love eBay as much as me?

Get Yo Freak'um Dress On, Every Woman Got One

 Dress - Ebay // Rings - H&M // Gold Chain - Ebay

Hey dolls! 

So I haven't blogged for nearly 2 weeks now :( boo! This is due to me cleverly breaking my camera. I had been banging on about how I wanted this DSLR and that DSLR (mines just your standard digital) and then mine decides to give up on me :( I mean give me a chance to save up. So now I'm in a predicament as I need a new camera but would rather put my money towards a DSLR that I really want instead of buying some £70 digital again. Absolute Nelly & Kelly! Either way I am apologising for the lack of quality of these pictures as they are taken on my Iphone 5.

Anywayyyy, I went out at the weekend for my friends birthday in Liverpool. I was super excited as 1. I love Liverpool nights out - they are always super fun, I've never had a bad night. 2. I haven't seen my girl for ages (birthday girl) 3. I had a new dress to wear.

I got my dress off Ebay after having a browse for a bandage dress. I love the celeb boutique ones but I'm just so skint at the moment I can't justify spending £120 on a dress for one night. As usual I always turn to Ebay as I find so many gems on there. If you like this dress just search 'yellow bandage dress' in Ebay and loads come up for around £40-£60 depending on how lucky you are at the time! I wasn't sure my dress was going to make it on time but thankfully the seller was an absolute babe and made sure I got it on time. 

However me being me, tried the dress on and then 'decided' I didn't like it on. I think it was one of those 'rubbish hair and no make-up' moments where you think the outfit just looks shit 'cos you're not all done up. I then started demolishing my wardrobe for plan B. My flatmate found me in a complete stress and made me try it on again and somehow convinced me it looked fine. I took it to Liverpool as my only option as I didn't want to be messing around undecided when I got there - I hate that feeling! My friend had booked us into the 'scousest' salon I have ever been in for a blow dry as if you're hitting Liverpool you have to go the full whack right? Go hard or go home! I love having big bouncy hair anyway so I was loving life. We had champagne whilst we all got beautified (some girls got their make up done) then we were ready to go. This gave the dress a massive transformation and I decided I liked it when I was all done up. I had such a fun night and I can't wait to go back again!! 


Have you been out in Liverpool before? Do you like the bandage dresses?

It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters



 Dress- Ebay // Hi-Tops - Footlocker // Chain - Ebay // Bag - Zara 

Hey Dolls, 

Yayyyy it's Friday! My favourite day of the working week AND its still sunny! What is this? What has happened to the UK? Either way I'm not complaining, gimmie more! 

Anyway I recently got this little beaut of a dress (pretty sure most people wear it as a top but whatevs) thanks to Charlotte at Lurchhound Loves who I spotted wearing on an instagram post and instantly fell in love. I love tie dye in the Summer and I seem to be immediately drawn to it whenever I'm shopping. I even got my own tie dying dyes to have a go myself, but haven't got round to using yet. I think I had previously seen this one on Pretty Little Thing, however, Charlotte mentioned she got hers off Ebay for cheaper so I jumped on that one and got searching! 

I managed to find one for just under £9 on Ebay which is a total bargain! 'Buy Now' was pressed immediately. Within about 2 days my dress arrived so it was super speedy delivery, which I love! Charlotte teamed hers with a skirt, which is probably more sensible than me just going all out with nothing else on, but at the moment I'm just finding the weather too hot so I'm opting for minimal, sorry guys. I wore mine with some baby pink socks, my fave Airforce1 high tops and a gold chain (also from Ebay - just type in 'gold chain', loads come up) and went for a bit of an urban look. I also had my white Zara baby hanging off my arm and I was sort of enjoying the pastel tie dye/white combo to be honest!

You can get the same dress/top, whatever you want to call it - HERE or HERE (the first one could be sold out now) but you can still get the same dress for just under a tenner - not bad huh?!      

Are you Ebay obsessed like me?

Summer Lovin'

                           Bodysuit - Glamorous* // Levis' - Vintage // Chain - Ebay // Watch-
                      Michael Kors // Snapback - South Beach* // Headphones - BassBuds* // Ipod Nano - Apple // Nike Airforce1 -Footlocker

Hey dolls, 

It's Wednesday! Yay, I love a four day week! It will be Friday before we know it :D I am being really naughty tonight and having a little mid week night out tonight, as I haven't been out for AGES and I feel like a complete bore of late! It's also my birthday soon which is very exciting, although I am not excited about being 23 - UGH. 

Anyway, I received this gorgeoussss neon pink and yellow bodysuit from Glamorous (thanks to the beauts Leonie!) as I had spotted this at the Glamorous event and fell in love! I couldn't think of anything more perfect for a sunny holiday! I mentioned it in my Glamorous event post how this is perfect for Ibiza or any other type of partying holiday! If this pattern/colour isn't you're cup of tea either, there are a few other colour options and shapes to choose from! You can get this HERE for £15.00! Plus if you're a student you can get 20% off and if not I also have a code at the side of my page for 10% off if you use 'BLOGGLAM' - see no excuses ;). 

I teamed this with my faithful Levis shorts and some all white Airforce1 hi-tops and gold chain for an urban summery look! I am also wearing my 'Alexis' South Beach Snapback which you can find HERE for just £12 ! I love a girlie snapback, so I was very happy to receive this in my South Beach goodie bag when I attended the event recently! Another holiday essential! 

Last but not least my brand new sparkly headphones! I received these in the Glamorous event party bag and I LOVE them! They are a metallic pink with Swarovski crystals in the headphones - what is not to love?! They are very good quality as well. I listen to my ipod every day without fail and I cannot think of anything worse than poor quality headphones where the volume is on full and I am still struggling to hear a thing. These also match my pink ipod nano so this was a bonus - all pink errythiiiing! They came in a very well packed gift box that included all the extras such as; a soft storage and travel bag (perfect for when I am just constantly throwing anything and everything in my bag), 6 extra pairs of silicone tips and 3 pairs of memory foam tips. I love products that give you all the back bits and bobs as I am always losing/breaking things and it's nice to know you have back up and don't have to fork out for more! You can find these pretty headphones at BassBuds.co.uk at a reduced price of £34.95 down from £49.95! If pink isn't your colour either, they have a range of colours and some mixed colours that are also pretty cool. 

Hope everyone's having a good week! 
Have you bought from any of these brands?

Phresh off the Runway


My Outfit // Top - Primark // Chain - Ebay // Pants - Glamorous* // Shoes - Primark // Shades - Primark

Hey Dolls, 

Hope everyone is having a good week! Mine has been pretty busy, but I sort of like it when I have loads to do! Yesterday my wardrobe pole snapped in half due to the vast amount of clothes I have hanging off it 8), oops. So naturally my room is an absolute tip full of clothes everywhere - brilliant. Fortunately this week I was sent a very beautifully wrapped package from Glamorous that made it all seem better, ha! 

Glamorous very kindly sent me these super lush grey marl jogging pants that I have been eyeing up for a while. If you saw my post from the Glamorous event, you may have noticed me post the Rihanna picture above on that post as well. I literally fell in love with the outfit when I saw it posted on Glamorous' Facebook. I love Rihanna's style and I think she always looks gorgeous in whatever she wears <3 I already had the other parts of this outfit so I was super excited when these arrived, meaning I could re-create the look myself! Yay. You can get the grey marl jogging pants HERE for £24 AND they have 20% off this bank holiday weekend so go and make the most of it! You can also get the rest of the outfit on their website as pictured above :)

Glamorous have LOADS of gorgeous pieces at the moment and it makes me want to go on holiday so bad! The neon leotards that are new in simply scream 'IBIZA!!' to me, so if you are heading there this Summer, you should definitely have a look! I can't wait to wear mine and I'm not even going Ibiza! 

I threw on my gold chain as well, as I can't get enough of it at the moment for some reason! I also found these sunnies in Primark last night when I went in for a hair brush and did the standard primark trick - go in for one thing, come out with ten. Deary me. I have been loving the round style that seems to be bang on trend recently, but I've always been a bit dubious about it all thinking I am going to look like a bad replica of John Lennon. However, I was very much enjoying this black pair, and at a £1 it's not the end of the world if I never wear them again. Oh, the joys of Primark prices.

Do you shop at Glamorous? Do you love Rihanna's look?

Pretty Little Thing

Top - H&M // Pants - H&M // Bag - Pretty Little Thing* // Gladiator Shoes - Topshop // Chain Necklace & Cuffs - Ebay
 
 
Hey Dolls,
 
Hope you are all having a good weekend! Mine is pretty boring to be honest although I am at home so I get to see the fam and get my hurrr did. I really want to do something different with it, but knowing me I will stick to my dark brown locks and get my bangs back in 8). I'm also taking my driving test soon so I'm getting in lessons at any opportunity! It's definitely a 50/50 on if I will pass though as I am so dizzy. Hmmm.
 
Anyway, I got this outfit literally within about 5 minutes walking into H&M by my work on my dinner break. I thought I would nip in for a 'quick look' which obviously resulted in me shopping. Inevitable. They have only recently built this by my work and I try to avoid it usually as I manage to get my purse out every time I go in.
I very nearly bought a coral silk vest in Mango before my holiday and I am now sooo glad I didn't as I picked this up for £4.99!!! Such a bargain and it will go with literally anything from day to nightwear. Winner. I then saw one of the staff dressing a mannequin in these beaut leopard print pants and I knew I needed them. They had just come in to that store so he very kindly grabbed my size from the delivery and next thing I know I'm at the till buying both items, with no dinner bought and 5 minutes to get back to work - idiot! The pants were only £14.99 though, another bargain in my eyes as they feel such a nice material as well. 
I also teamed it up with my new favourite bag that I very kindly received from Pretty Little Thing when I attended their amazing blogger event! I am a sucker for anything tassel when it comes round to Summer so this immediately caught my eye and I fell in love. You can get this gorgeous bag HERE and they have loads of other gorgeous bags/clutches in at the moment that you should definitely check out. PLUS they have 25% off this weekend! What more do you want?! GO,GO, GO!
 
I decided that the whole outfit was definitely to be teamed up with lots of gold so voila, here's me with my gold accessories.I think this is a cute outfit for day to night - maybe swapping the heels for flats for in the day though in my case as they are pretty high for my clumsiness!
 
 
Have you checked out Pretty Little Thing yet?
You need it in your life if not!

Black on White

                      Tee- Ebay // Leather Skirt - Hearts & Bows // Necklace - Primark // Gold   Cuffs - Ebay // Boots - Daisy Street*
Hey dolls, 

Happy Easter everyone :) I hope everyone has an Easter egg to get involved with today, mmm chocolate time!I am loving having the time off work - amen to bank holiday weekends! I'm also going to my friends 21st birthday tonight which I am pretty excited about. Obviously I am still having a dilemma over what to wear but, standard, always last minute! 
I thought I'd show you a recent outfit I have been wearing. I have some weird addiction with buying things off Ebay at the minute, it's far too addictive! Anyway, I got this tee and gold cuffs (which I have been meaning to buy for ages) off Ebay the other week and I was pretty impressed considering both probably came to a tenner - what more do you want?! I really need to stop wearing this skirt but it's so easy to wear and goes with pretty much everything, I just can't stop. Although, I have bought the same version in a light denim in order to convert to a summer skater skirt thang. Will post on that one soon! 

Hope everyone is having a lush weekend :)

Why can't I have it all...

wishlist


Hey dolls, 

Just thought I would give you a run down of my current wish list. I'm a little concerned that it's nearly all black but I just want need all these things in my life at the moment!

1. Feline Tee (similar HERE) - Ebay
Love these statement tee's that joke with the designer originals! Plus they are fab for just throwing on with pretty much any outfit! You can tuck this tee into anything, disco pants, high waisted shorts, dungarees, skater skirt - ANYTHING.


2. Off The Shoulder Bardot LBD - Love this simple Miss Guided LBD, it's perfect for pretty much any night out and can be dressed up in so many ways! I love the off the shoulder 'bardot' look as well, very cute. 
 
3. Gold Chain (Similar HERE) - I have recently been buying everything off ebay when it comes to jewellery, there are so many bargains I just don't see the point in forking out for something in Topshop when you can get pretty much the same via Ebay! 
 
4. Homies beenie - Another Ebay lust! Love these beenies, I've always been a bit precarious as to whether I even suit them but I'd like to give this one a try. 
 
5. Dope 24k Logo Snapback- Karma loop is one of my new faves for fashion. I love so many things on here! Espesh the aaccessories! Only problem is that it's an American website and I haven't bought anything yet so not sure about delivery etc! 
 
6. Fermina Leather Heeled Sandles - I have loved these shoes ever since I saw them in zara a while back. I really like the double strap at the top on these Miss Guided ones and they are a very classic pair of shoes to have in the wardrobe :) ! 
 
7. Rihanna for River Island Boots - I always feel a bit hit and miss about celeb collaborations but if it's someone I love i.e. Kardashians I always end up buying something. However when I heard Rihanna was collaborating, I was super excited as I LOVE her style and would consider her as one of my favourite fashion icons. I was immediately drawn to these boots when I walked into the store and they are all I can think of when it comes to shoes at the moment - NEED! 
 
8. Black Almina Halterneck Bodysuit - I have actually just bought this after seeing Melissa from Pretty Little Obsessions posted this on her instagram looking lovely! I have wanted the AA one for a while but never got round to getting one, so for less than half the price I couldn't really say no to this one! 
 
9. Denim Skater Skirt - Again, another item I have been wanting for a while! I wear my leather skater skirt to death and I am definitely in need of a Summer version! I love light wash denim and I can't wait till this is back in stock in my size in Fashion Union so I can add this to my wardrobe! 
 
10. Rihanna for River Island Split Maxi - Another Rihanna want! I couldn't have a wish list without a 'split' being featured somewhere could I?! A girl obsessed. I absolutely love everything about this dress and I think it is gorgeous! It's not very summery, but the weather is hardly hitting high climates at the moment so I think I'm safe! 

Do you like anything off my wish list? What are you lusting after at the minute?
