eBay Wishlist #2

Watch // Kimono // Skirt // Necklace

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

Tee // Beenie // Necklace // Clutch

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? 

Country Gyal

Top - Topshop (old season) // Levis - Vintage // Boots - H&M // Watch - Michael Kors

Hey dolls,

 

So I came home back to the lakes this weekend and I couldn't have come at a better time - I need a break! As much as I love the city life, there is nothing better than coming home to see the fam and spending a bit of time in the country air! My little brother has managed to slowly take over my bedroom with all his crap which I am not happy about (if you're reading this - move it) but other than that it's been a lovely weekend so far! Today me and my mum went to a little town called Ulverston and spent a few hours looking in all the cute vintage 'shabby chic' looking home shops and eating bon bons from the old school sweet shop - yum!

 

If you have read any of my previous posts I mentioned that I had broke my camera *sobs* so until I can fork out for a new one I have been borrowing and using my trusty Iphone 5. The quality isn't amazing but I don't think these images have come out too bad considering. It was nice to take some outfit pics in my back garden as usually I have to work with a city apartment which isn't always the prettiest when it comes to background scenery! My flatmate very kindly gave me this top as she wasn't feeling it anymore so I didn't hesitate to snap this out her hands when she offered it out, ha! I think its super cute and great for the Summer - Autumn transition! I also love my new H&M boots and they have barely left my feet since buying them last week as they are perfect for my trek to work and are super comfy. What's not to love!

 

I hope everyone is having a good weekend - I'm having a girlie night in tonight with lots of unhealthy food, good company and the new x factor series. I know, I know, my life is most certainly rock & roll........ ha!



Egyptian

 Pharaoh Dress - Karma Clothing* // Boots - H&M // Necklace- Primark // Cuffs - Ebay 

Hey dolls, 

So I was very excited to receive this dress off Karma Clothing as I have been eyeing it up for ages and I recently featured it on one of my wish lists. I think ever since I have been to Egypt this year I have just wanted to be an Egyptian princess and ride about on a camel all day and pretend I was on Sex & the City 2 .............

*dreams*

I love the print on this dress and I think it is perfect for day to night wear. I teamed mine with some new cut out boots that I picked up from H&M (£29.99) the other day because my Zara boots were driving me MAD. They look lush but they are so uncomfy and rub - I couldn't take the pain any more! I think this dress would also look pretty cool with some Jeffrey Campbell-esque platform boots to edge it up a bit and lots of gold bling.

You can get this dress >> HERE << and for £12.99 it is an absolute bargain if I don't say myself! If the Egyptian vibe isn't up your street, they have bodycon dresses galore in a range of patterns and styles that you will be spoilt for choice! Might I add, all very very reasonable and with student offers of 15% off and 10% off with every first purchase, I don't think you could ask for better! I think these dresses are perfect for going back to uni with - so easy to wear and something you can rock up to lectures with still looking effortlessly stylish! 

Have you shopped at Karma Clothing before? 

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?
