I ♥ Leopard & Studs

Crop Top - Topshop

Skirt - Zara 

Body Chain - Topshop 

Boots - Daisy Street*

Watch - Michael Kors

Hi Ladies,

I haven't done an OOTN for a long time so I think I am well overdue an outfit post! I recently went on a night out for my best friends birthday in Manchester at Sakura night club on Deansgate Locks. I had such a fun night and surprised her with tickets to go to Harry Potter world as we are both HP geeks. I was having such a dilemma what to wear as I had been indulging in lots of delicious food all Christmas, as you do, and didn't particularly want to breath in all night.

I got a few nice outfits as Christmas presents but me being me, I still wasn't satisfied and I wanted to wear my new Topshop high neck crop top. I decided to have a browse in the Zara sale, and luckily I found a cute leopard uneven peplum skirt that would look perfect with my top and the peplum meant I wouldn't feel conscious all night 8)

I got lots of cool jewellery bits for Christmas, but I decided to team with my trusty favourite body chain that I got from Topshop last year and besides my usual bits of wrist wear, I kept it to a minimum. I teamed this outfit with a gorgeous pair of spike/studded platform boots in black suede* thanks to Daisy Street which can be found HERE. I am loving Daisy Street at the moment, they have some gorgeous new midi dresses in some gorgeous Spring/Summer prints which are a must for me as they can be dressed down so easily for day, and look amaze for a night out when your all done up! What more do you want!? If you love fashion on a budget this is your place to go.

What do you think of Daisy Street? 
 

New Years Resolutions | Hello 2013

Image: We Heart It

Hello Lovelies,

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and a fab New Year! After relaxing and eating my own body weight in food, I certainly did :).
.
I have decided to jump on board the resolution posts and share with you my own aims and goals for 2013. Last year was both an amazing and tough year mainly due to my Masters and the pressures of a super long dissertation! I was so proud of myself for even finishing that huuuge piece of work as I felt like giving up with it so many times, but here I am now with it all completed and excited to see what 2013 has in store for me.

When it comes to 'New Years Resolutions', I'm not really a big believer in 'New year, new me'... being the person you want to be, or goals you want to achieve take patience, hard work, persistence and time. I think by starting off with small aims and goals is the key to achieving them, not just rhyming off all these things that apparently are going to make you this 'new' person and ultimately overwhelming yourself with all these big life changing things. Anyway, enough of my preaching, here are my resolutions for 2013.

1. Blogging - I have had so many OOTD's and new products I have loved and not been able to share due to my university course and full time job taking over. Now that I only have to focus on my job, I am very excited to be able to give so much more time to my little blog and be able to share with you what I am loving at the moment. I am going to aim to do at least 2 posts a week to begin with to get back into the swing of things.

2. Go somewhere HOT - Last year left me no time for a holiday so this year I am 100% going away to some where hot where I can embrace the tan, relax, chill on the beach and sip on mojitos all day. I feel that I deserve it and I love being in the sun on holiday more than anything!

3. Go to New York - Going to New York is something I have wanted to do since I was little. I don't know why but I just know I would absolutely love it, maybe its all the shopping and bright lights 8) I love America and this is somewhere I have wanted to visit for a long time, so why not :)

4. Save money - I have a savings account so I definitely need to use it. I'm not some high flying earner (yet ;) ) so this is hard but when I think about all the things I want to do I definitely need some money there to help me out!

5. Pass my driving test - I have passed my theory test so I really need to get back into driving again as I was so close to taking my test before! dayuum. I'm so sick of being a bus w*nker!

6. Stay Healthy - I successfully ended my gym contract last year 8) so I should probably join back up again. However, I find the gym really boring so I am going to look into classes as I find these much more beneficial for me personally. I am not going to say I am going to eat healthy all year round, because I am definitely not and I don't intend to. I think eating healthy Monday to Friday means indulging a little at the weekend is okay and making sure I have my five a day will do the job.

7. Ebay - I'm so bad for throwing away clothes. Now that I have an iphone, taking photos with the  Ebay app and uploading all the things I don't need/use anymore could never be easier.

8. Exfoliate - I am so bad for not exfoliating once a week. It's so strange as I always take my make-up off before bed and I do have a skin routine every day. However, exfoliation does not come in to it. Don't get me wrong, I know how good it is when I do do it and being a 'tanorexic' I'm surprised my tan goes on as well as it does, so this is definitely something I need to keep on top of!

9. Drink more - I'm pretty good with drinks as I rarely drink fizzy pop but I don't think I drink enough in general. There are times when I will be in work with one bottle of water that will last me all day. Definitely NOT enough! I am going to make sure I have at least 2-3 bottles of water in work every day from now on.

10. Experiment with cooking - I am useless for being adventurous with my cooking skills.Whether it be lack of time or just being too lazy I need to start making me and my roomie Jessy some more exciting meals. We have a few fave dishes but realistically we can't eat what we call 'sausage surprise' every day of our lives, haha. In all fairness, Jess comes up with lots of yummy dishes from scratch, whereas I stick to what I know. It's time to get my Nigella on !

What are your resolutions?

Hope you all are having a lovely New Years Day !



Daisy Street | Blogger Event

Hey Ladies,

So last week I was invited to view the amazing new Daisy Street collection. If you didn't know already, Daisy Street is a fab new brand that sells affordable high street fashion that is bang on trend!
The event was held in Manchester so it was easy for me to get to and I was really excited to have a browse of the new Christmas collection.

The venue was at 2022 in the Northern Quarter which is a really cool and quirky basement style room with a bar where you could grab yourself a free drink whilst you enjoyed a gorgeous spread of canapes and amazing daisy cupcakes - yum!

After being greeted with a lovely glass of champers I started having a browse of all the pretty sparkly clothes that were calling my name! I have to say I LOVED the Christmas collection, there were so many gorgeous pieces I literally just wanted everything. From the beloved disco pants to sequin sleeve military jackets, I was very impressed. They also had out some of their amazing shoe range which I was immediately drawn to, as you can see from my pictures was studs and platforms galore! I also loved the accessory table  where they had some gorgeous clutch bags (I want the leopard stud clutch!) and spike arm candy - perfect for adding an edge to your outfit. We even had the chance to choose an item from everything they had on display - how kind?! I obviously headed straight for the shoes, standard.  I chose the black suede lace up platform shoe boots with studs, a fab replica of the Jeffery Campbell Lita's but with a huge price cut!

It was also lovely to catch up with fellow bloggers who had attended the event as well. It's always nice having a chat with like minded people who have some mad obsession with fashion like yourself! There was even the chance to be interviewed by Daisy Street who were there taking lots of pictures and of course interviewing all the lovely bloggers! It was such a lovely event and I will definitely be making a purchase(s) just in time for Christmas! You can check out their fab website HERE and the shoe boots I chose HERE.

Do you love Daisy Street? 

Will you be putting some Daisy Street on your Christmas list?

Hey Dolls,

If you are anything like me you will be SUPER excited that 1. The Kardashians sisters are in the UK this week AND 2. All in the name of their brand new collection Kollection that I am really impressed with!

I can't explain how bad I want to go down to London on the whim that I might actually see them in the flesh. Like many girls, my Kardashian obsession is spiralling out of control. I have to admit, I am all for sharing the 'Kimye' love regularly. Anyway, I have had a browse of all the new pieces that are set to launch in stores/online on the 8th November, and I must say I really do love quite a few bits. I was a little unsure of what they would come up with as the Sears Kollection they did wasn't that amazing (sorry), but they have pleasantly surprised me with a few of their new products.
I love that all of their Kollection is set at high street prices, meaning girls like me (poor students) can have their own slice of Kardash. I feel that the new kollection really represents the girls, and as all the sisters are different shapes and sizes, the images of them clearly show anyone can look good in these clothes whatever body shape you are.

I have chosen my faves from the Kollection above - my absolute faves have to be the black blazer and the black tassle bag - LOVE these.

Do you like the new Kardashian Kollection? what are your favourite pieces?

Pretty Please ♥

Hello lovely ladies!

I'm sorry to bother you all but I am currently doing my Masters Dissertation and I would be ever so grateful if I could have 2 minutes of your time to fill out my short survey :). I absolutely promise it takes 2 minutes as it is multiple choice and I would be ever so grateful if you could help me out! The link to my survey is HERE

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

OOTD | Leather & Army

Hey Dolls!

Hope all is well :) I am posting my favourite A/W look at the moment which features some of my loves - leather, studs and army print. I think these are my staple wardrobe essentials for winter along with lots of chunky knits!

Please excuse my cringinell pictures, I don't really know what to do with myself and it was making me nervous posing away on my balcony in the dark, as there are some flats opposite and the last thing people want to see is me lurking around with camera outside their windows, haha. I also had to go inside at one point as it's so flippin freezing, brrr. The last picture was just my pretty view at night from my beauts balcony, might as well take a snap whilst I'm there!

On another note, I posted the army jacket and leather skater skirt in a previous post when I had a little shopping haul, but I was yet to show you how I would choose to wear them. Both of these items are from 'Hearts & Bows', which is an amaze shop that can be found on www.ark.co.uk and if you're in the Manchester area, they have a cute little shop opposite the side of M&S and Selfridges. You MUST check it out!

The pretty lace top is from River Island and I love the lace detail along the edge of the top, it's so easy to wear and goes with so much. The boots are a more recent purchase from Miss Guided. I love flat biker boots and when I saw the studs, I had to have them. They are definitely worth the money as I have wore them nearly every day since I got them! Winner. You can get them in other colours too on www.missguided.co.uk .

Hope everyone's having a good week :)
