PU & Pink

PU Top - Glamorous* // Skort - Ark // Heels - Primark

Hey dolls,

I feel like I've been a bit absent these past few weeks but I'm back and have lots of new outfits to share with you! I recently was lucky enough to receive this gorgeous PU top from Glamorous and I have fallen in love. I have a thing for all things PU/leather at the minute so  I was super happy to wear this! As you may already know/been a part of, it was Freshers week recently and I decided to get involved at the Arndale centre to take advantage of the 'Student Lock In' night where there was lots of amazing offers forcing me to at least buy one thing! 

I was pretty impressed with myself when I only walked away with this skort from Ark. I have wanted one of the Zara ones for a while but never really wanted one that much that I had to rush out and buy it immediately. Don't get me wrong, I think they are lush. However, when the excitement of a new trend has been and gone, I'm sort of not too bothered about it any more. SO as I felt like that ship had sailed when thinking of getting one of the original colours, I decided this bright pink one is perfect for now and goes pretty well with the PU top. I slung on my fave black heels that I got based on the fact they reminded me of Kim Kardashian. You can get the PU top HERE and the pink skort HERE (or in store!). I also need to add that I am super excited for Vogue's Fashion Night Out tomorrow in Manchester - Very exciting!I hope to see some blogger faces about on the night, which I'm sure I will! 

Hope everyone is having a good week!

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?

STYLEetc Glamorous Girls Night Out Party



Hey Dolls,

So last week I was lucky enough to attend the 'STYLEetc Glamorous Girls Night Out Party' event which was amazing. It was such a lovely well planned night at one of my favourite venues - Sakura on Deansgate Locks. When I arrived I got a wristband as we were able to stay afterwards to one of my fave nights out in Manchester - Eivissa (yay!) and then headed downstairs to the VIP bar and downstairs bar/dance area.

The downstairs had been transformed into a showroom for previews of the current S/S range (which is gorgeous) and a sneak preview of the up and coming A/W range (equally amaze!). I couldn't wait to get stuck into the ranges and see what I would be adding to my never ending wish list! I grabbed myself a glass of champers from the VIP bar and was greeted by the lovely Leonie who was looking lush in a Glamorous playsuit! She took me through both collections and I instantly fell in love with so many items. There are some gorgeous jackets and coats for A/W- very Zara-esque but with a super reasonable price tag. I think my favourite piece had to be a PU top with contrasting sleeves, I love it.
I was also instantly drawn to the S/S collection with all the bright neon colours and patterns. Honestly, if you are going to Ibiza or some sort of festival this year, I suggest you check this lot out. My fave pieces are definitely the bright neon print leotards and the white tee's with neon detail down the sides, perfect for wearing with some slouchy pants and heels!

I then went to mingle in the VIP bar/lounge where I got to see my lovely fave Manchester bloggers - Lily, Charlotte and Laura. Glamorous had added a little celeb to their guest list and Tulisa, Chelsee Healey and Platnum were around the VIP area enjoying the event too! There was lots of gorgeous sushi platters being handed out by the lovely bar staff at Sakura which looked super yummy (I had already eaten so I didn't indulge!).Not only all of this there were also 3 make over bars where you could go to get your make-up, nails or hair done (or all of them!) which sums up the 'Girls Night Out' event name! I ended up getting my hair done by Sam and she did an AMAZING job! I love big bouncy hair and she did just that! I will certainly be going to the salon on Deansgate to the blow dry bar to get my hair done again ;).

By this time it was 10pm and even though I would have loved to stay on after the event and enjoy Eivissa I was super tired and had work in the morning so I decided to be sensible and head home. Believe me, I have done and Eivissa/Work the next day combo before and its not the best ha. I had such a lovely time though and left with a super amazing goody bag filled with treats and a jumper from Glamorous! How generous! You can also see a write up and pics from the event over at STYLEetc HERE.

Also I have added the Rihanna image at the bottom from the Glamorous Twitter/Facebook page - how lush is this outfit!? Think I need it! You can check out Glamorous HERE if you haven't already!

Please Note:The last two photos from the event are courtesy of I AM VIP and Sven Eselgroth :). 

Do you love glamorous?
