Tiny Birmingham Haul and OOTD...

So I fully intended to go to Birmingham to pick up a few things for Australia and failed spectacularly! I mainly wanted to go to Illamasqua to pick up one of their Brow Cakes and the sealing gel which I did manage to get. I got the shade Gaze which is a dark grey but does go almost black with the sealing gel, but I was slightly disappointed they didn't have a black shade. I also just picked up a couple of rings from Forever21...rude not to...

 I just wore my new Zara top, H&M leather jacket, Zara jeggings, white converse and standard River Island bag....

Ootd...Girl with the Dragon Tattoo jacket and denim shorts....

There seems to be a lot of ootd’s at the moment doesn’t there?! I’ve literally had no free time while it’s been daylight so not had time to take pictures for reviews and fotd’s but hopefully over Christmas I’ll get lots done!

This week has been so busy, but with it being the week before Christmas you’d guess it would be! I met up with the girls this week for out annual present swapping tradition. We went to Frankie and Bennies and gossiped about everyone being back from university, our jobs, and all the other usual stuff.

I clearly didn’t fancy embracing the Christmassy vibe at all, and wore a bit of a dark combo. This is the jacket I got in H&M from the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo collection and I love it!

Jacket: H&M

Jumper & long necklace: Miss Selfridge

Shorts: Forever 21

Tights & headband: Primark

Boots: Step in style

Short necklace: Topshop

I look a tiny bit orange here but it was probably a case of slapping some makeup on over what I was already wearing, and my odd lighting in my bedroom. My lipstick is one of the Double Hit Lips from the new Look Beaty range and I love it, it’s the exact shade I’ve been searching for high and low for ages!

Hope everyone’s excited for Santa coming!

Detoxin'ell.....

God this is hard work. Not only am I not really seeing any results, I've also broken out in a load of disgusting spots!! Not happy about this! Apparently it's all the toxins leaving my body, but I wish they'd leave in the form of my muffin tops disappearing!!

Got a couple of outfit posts for you....

This was for work at Office on Sunday, white high-top Converse (Office) tights from Primark, denim shorts Topshop and top from New Look (brand new in, and got loads of comments on it!)

Work today, new Zara dress that I might actually wear for a night out over summer because I decided I LOVE it! Tights are Primark, wedges Forever 21.

Just thought I'd share some of my fave beauty products every now and again, as I'm quite safe and tend to stick to the same things if I like them (why fix it if it ain't broken??!) So here's my absolute fave body moisturiser....

A bargain at £2.99 from Superdrug, and comes in a decent sized 475ml container. It's not highly scented, rubs in really easily and goes a really long way. It's especially great for me as I'm a bit of a moisturising lover, especially as I fake tan so much, so I love to moisturise before and after applying, and every single time I get out of the bath or shower. I'd really recommend giving this a go!

I'm also having a bit of a dilemma. I love a lie in in the morning, which I really don't get with my 6.30 starts Monday to Friday! I am pretty organised, and do get my bag ready the night before (Primary School style) and my clothes out so I don't have to faff about in the morning staring into my wardrobe with complete confusion. My downfall is searching out my makeup! Look at the state of this....

How the hell I find anything I do not know! I really need to get some sort of make-up organisation system/storage, so my new task is to hunt something out (I'm thinking B&Q style tool-box?!) if anyone has anything like this or knows anywhere that sells anything like this I'd love to know!?! 

Get your glad rags on.....

I need this girls night out so badly….me and the three besties are off into Hinckley Town Centre (more commonly known as HTC) to drink a horrendous amount of rose and vodka, cause some mischief and dance the night away. I don’t know why I’m quite so excited about a night out in Hinckley (usually it ends in some sort of disaster or is just generally rubbish), but I do seem to have a positive track record of Easter Thursdays! Also, progress has been made from previous post, and I am REALLY hoping he’ll be out tonight. I need to prove he can trust me, and I also need to remind him how good it all used to be.

Anyway so now of course comes the fun part. Currently sitting downstairs are Kellie, Sarah and Steph, eating pizza and drinking their 3^rd glass of God only knows what, outfits hanging up in my wardrobe ready to get glamorous later. We’ve got a mixture of cute summer dresses from Zara and classic navy one shouldered numbers from Forever 21. I’m not sure what I’m going for yet. I’m thinking a skirt (maybe the River Island flowery one from a while back that still hasn’t had a wear) or the new black Forever 21 skirt. Either way I’ll team it with my signature over the knee socks and huge curly hair, get my Eylure double thickness lashes glued on, and a squirt of Burberry perfume (I’m going to need some good luck tonight either way the night goes!)

Wish me luck, I’ll have pictures on asap I promise!
