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?

Vintage Floral | Koo-Ture

                               Dress - Koo-Ture // Shoes - Stylist Pick

Hey Dolls, 
  Hope you are having a nice weekend. I have had a really busy week and I have headed home to the lakes for my pops 50th :) We went for a yummy meal at a super nice restaurant in the lakes and I can't tell you how ready I was stuff my face! I ordered a big fat steak (sorry if you're veggie) and it was delicious. I have had a pretty busy week, although I have been seriously slacking with the gym, UGH. I have had the pleasure of going to two amazing events this week just gone though, which were super fun. Busy, busy.

I need this week to go really quick as me and my friend managed to book a last minute trip to Egypt which I am TOO excited about! I need some sunshine in my life! I can't wait to get in my bikini and get me some tan! I've never been to Egypt before so if you have and you have any tips for me, please share!

Aside from my ramble, the dress I have on is from where I work and as soon as I saw it I wanted it. It is super girlie and probably not one of my obvious choices but I can't wait to wear it. I think it's pretty versatile and can be worn for through the day or dressed up at night. When I first saw it, my mind immediately thought of festivals as I think it is perfect teamed with converse or wellies!

I have put a pair of heels with it on the picture as I wanted to see how it would look dressed up PLUS I have never actually wore these heels that I fell in love with and got last year from 'Stylist Pick'. Where has all the hype from this site gone? I can remember getting my Cheryl Cole shoe boots from there and then I haven't really heard from them since!?

Anyway, As neon is very on trend at the moment I thought these bright yellow heels bring out the yellow in the dress and look pretty cute for a night out or special occasion. I also loved the deep-v back - I love anything backless! Unfortunately the dress I have has sold out due to high demand but there are also various other prints and styles on the website which you can find HERE.

Hope everyone has had a good weekend, I can't wait to get stuck into my Sunday dinner soon ... MMM!

My Summer Winner | American Apparel

Tank Dress - American Apparel // Snapback - Footlocker // Airforce 1's - Footlocker // Tan Wedges - Manchester Boutique // Gold hoops - Topshop // Watch - Michael Kors


Hey Dolls,

Hope everyone has had a lush weekend! I have been seeing a fair amount of hungover status's today so I'm guessing yes haha. I have had a fairly sober weekend and went to see about my new part time job last night at Manchester night club Bijou. I'm fairly skint at the moment so the extra cash will be very much appreciated! I also was very happy to be reunited with my fave MAC lippie that I got through so quick (please me) and I got to bag myself a free one with the empty product swap, yayy! This weekend - so far so good!

Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, beauty, fashion & lifestyle blogger Carly, posted a dress from American Apparel via Twitter and I fell in love with this perfect Summer/holiday dress. I soon forgot about it though, that was until I was having a browse round town after work one night and ended up in American Apparel window shopping, well apparently. I saw that they had the dress in stock and couldn't resist a little try on. As soon as I put it on I fell into Summer wardrobe mode and I immediately thought I need this dress. I think it is fab for holidays and summer and can be dressed up or down. Me being me ended up buying this dress in yellow AND red, as I just couldn't decide but now I have decided I need it in white too. However, I am going to try a DIY for a white one as this is a basic dress and I think £32 is quite expensive to be blowing on three dresses all the same ha. Especially if I am moaning about being skint 8) This dress is available in TEN colours so there are lots of lush ones to choose from. I have photographed how I would wear this dress for through the day to night, I also think this dress would look fab with a body chain worn back to front so the detail is on the back. You can get this dress HERE and also on ASOS, but I don't think they have the full colour range on ASOS for some reason.


Have you bought anything from AA recently? Have you started impulse buying your Summer wardrobes yet?
