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....

Pie, cocktails and H&M collections....

Hey lovelies, sorry it's been a while since I've posted....I don't really have an excuse I guess I've just been 'busy'. If you follow me on twitter you'll have seen I went to visit Matt in Birmingham to cook him pie, go out and see his new flat. While I was there, I thought I might as well pop into the H&M to take a look at the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo collection, after I saw it was ALL SOLD OUT online! I wanted pretty much everything from the entire collection, but I ended up with just the grey hoody and their denim jacket with leather sleeves....

Then came pie....

Then we got all ready and headed out in Birmingham for cocktails and dancing....

I wore my H&M dress I got last year (rarely wear a dress out of work so that was weird for me!) with black tights and my black Allegra's and my Mark B clutch from TK Maxx. 

I fell in love with this from Topshop and thought it was a real statement piece! 

Me and Matt enjoying our cocktails :)

Hope you've all had a fab weekend!

Happy birthday to me...

Wow I've been a terrible blogger recently, just been SO busy! Here's just a quick one to keep you going...


It was my birthday last week and I popped into Birmingham with my Mum and Dad to try and get my birthday present. I didn't really get much (don't know where my shopping mojo was that day!) but I will do a bit of a collective haul to show you what I did purchase over the weekend if I get chance!


I just threw on my trusty New Look denim shorts and Urban Outfitters cross top and of course my white converse...got to be comfy on your birthday!!

Me and the girls went out in Leicester on Saturday to celebrate me being old, and also as an excuse to show off my new 'plum' hair. I was a bit shocked at how dark it looked on my hair considering I'd seen a lot of other people dye their hair the exact same colour and looked so much lighter. I've not had chance to get a decent picture in natural light yet but I'll try and get one before it fades too much!

Whole outfit: Miss Selfridge

Wedges: New look

Jewellery: Everywhere!

Oh yeah and I popped out last night to see one of my friends who'd come back from uni for a few days....unfortunately my fat bum split my original choice of skirt so I threw on an old Topshop body con skirt with my H&M leather jacket, and Primark bow tights/over the knee sock combo...

Again, sorry I've been so rubbish! Hope you're all well!

My week in outfits....

Hey lovelies hope you're all well! I'm lucky to have a three day weekend this weekend, Mondays my birthday so I've got the day off and heading to Birmingham with my mum and dad to do a bit of shopping and have some lunch....hopefully there will be a birthday haul coming your way next week! 


Anyway I've got one of my usual OOTW posts for you...

This was just to work on Monday, I've bought so many of these skirts from H&M just recently as they're just so easy to wear.

Jacket & Shoes: River Island

Skirt, top: H&M

Watch: Asos

Tights & Necklace: Primark

 I popped out for some food with a couple of mates on Tuesday night and really didn't feel like dressing up so just opted for some chino's with my red converse, and my new favourite slogan top from TK Maxx...

Chino's: Vera Moda

Converse: Office

Top: TK Maxx

Watch: Oasis

Boys are heartless

This was just to go out for drinks with a friend on Thursday, I finally got to wear my new Topshop shoes I showed you here. 

Shoes & Necklaces: Topshop

Tights, black vest, ring: Primark

Jacket: H&M

Grey top: New Look

Another work outfit, again with one of my favourite stretch H&M skirts. I love the colour of this top but it's a bit of an odd length so thought it would do for work!

Top, tights: Primark

Watch: Asos

Skirt: H&M

Shoes: New Look (about 6 years ago!!)

I just threw this on today to I pop into town, I went to get my nails done and buy wine for when the girls come round tonight (wine, chinese & Xfactor...doesn't get much better than that really!!) I LOVE these jeans and I'm thinking of doing a 3 ways to wear post with them. 

Shoes: Converse at Office

Jeans: Primark

Necklace & Vest: Topshop

Handbag: River Island

 As I said, I had my nails done as an early birthday treat to myself. I always have gel nails done and always go for the natural ones so I can paint them weird and wonderful colours. I always ask for them short as well so I can get away with 3 weeks between getting them filled in. I go to Eden beauty and have Eva, who is amazing. I also have my eyebrows done by her so I highly recommend!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I'll hopefully see you next time with a birthday haul!!

It's the closest thing I've got to happiness....

BIRMINGHAM shopping trip today with my ladies. But more on that later, first to my love affair with my new airbrushed skin. I went along to my local Mac counter this week to make the leap from my normal powder foundation which has decided it doesn't like my skin anymore, to a Mac liquid one that I'd heard recommended many times. Studio fix fluid, in Number 22. Also treated myself to a foundation brush (£26!!!!) and a new lipstick in Saint German that I love so much I'd happily sleep in.

So anyway, on to Birmingham....the shopping outfit went a little bit like this....

Dress and tights: Primark

Boots: Random shop in Leicester

Jewellery: from all over the place to be honest

Leather jacket: Matalan

Got the Mac foundation and lipstick on here, and Mac eyeliner in Smoulder, as well as Mac blusher in Fleur Power. 

Some lovely purchases....

Cardigan in the sale for £45 in Urban Outfitters sale

Jeggings (which i've been looking for for TIME!) £20 Zara

Shoes: Forever 21 for the bargain that is £23!

Bought this skirt for work (Forever 21 for £9.50) but I love it so much I might get it on for Thurs night with my Henry Holland tights and a cream shirt.

Had to buy this (£15 Zara) because the words could NOT be more true....

Jacket £40 Topshop

LOVES a pair of sunglasses, but I've been so good and not bought a single pair this year, until now. £16 Miss Selfridge
