Cheeky Haul

So today, this happened! A shopping trip which lead to a big small on my face but a dent in my mum's bank account. It's all worth it to see me happy, I guess( well that's what I keep telling myself). 

I ended up just mainly buying from Primark, new look and Dorothy Perkins! 

So from Dorothy Perkins (www.dorothyperkins.co.uk), I got this cute little bow clutch. This bag is a goldish colour with a big glitter bow on the top, it's perfect for my prom! It's a good size, has a removable chain handle and it goes with the theme off my prom as well- bow ties and diamonds. This was in the sale as well, from £20 to £10. It was a good buy, I can see myself using this in the future for other event while I am just a lover off cute bows

Meanwhile from new look (www.newlook.co.uk), there was a big sale going on but I wasn't really liking anything apart from these jeans. The jeans were in the sale as well, costing only £11 from £22.99. The  jeans are super comfy, I'm wearing them now. The waist is a high one so there will be no builders' bums when you bend over. The colour is dark but has the acid wash look to it.

While, the biggest shop for me was Primark. My gulity pleasure where if there is a sale they are super good but yet there products are still good, sometimes even better then other high street shops but yet a very reasonable price.

This skater skirt was only £8 while it comes with a little black belt. I'm most likely to change the belt and use maybe a little brown one. The skirts always look skirt but when I tried it on, it was a gold length! I'm not one of them girls who like half their bums out on show (people off England will understand what I mean). The texture off the skirt isn't just flat, it's like a waffer one. It's what to me, makes it better then the other high street shops skater skirts.

While this top is a plain white top with little spikes on the sleeves. The cut for the arms are lower down like a bigger cut. Making it good for summer as it's must cooler and was in the sale for only £3. This was just a must buy for me, making a simple white vest top a little edge.
The nice little simple vest top with butterflies. A nice little vest top which is perfect for summer, it's nice and light. It's only £4 and there was a little black and white striped one but there wasn't one in my size (sad times)
A collar vest top! Yes, I do love tops with collars. This top is very  very see through! It's one that will need something underneath or you will be showing a bit too much. This was also in the sale, only £3 and it was just a must have for my collection.

Shoe time! I didn't really like any off the shoes really but I find these little cute flip-flops. There was a range of colours: nude(like mine), white, black and I think there was a few more. These are so cute and I do love bows and thought it will be good for this summer. Hopefully it will stay hot and sunny.

Then finally, I stocked up on essentials that most girls will have and for some reason they always go missing or ended up being ripped. How does socks always end up go missing in the washing machine? The socks were only like £2 and the tights were £3 for 3 pairs which come in a range of different thickness.

Hows that year new resolution going?


It's the fifth month into 2013 and I bet the most of you have already forgot that new year's resolution that you set, which seemed to be years ago, on the 1st of January. Them new year's resolution off loosing weight, saving money up, spending less time at work and more with friends and family or to have a better work effort?

So how is your new years resolution going or have you just forgot about them already? Did you you just do it for a month and completely went back to your normal routine? Maybe you should think off a mid year resolution. Think off a new resolution for the summer or start back to your old one, you can do it and it's a challenge but when it's done you will feel so good on the last day off December when everyone having a cheeky little drink and cheering into the new year.

Mine was to read more and it's going pretty well, being a little slow when reading and having the stress of leaving school and 12 exams left to do and the biggest pile of last minute coursework, reading is calming me down loads and not really panicking like I thought I would be. I have brought my books from www.worldofbooks.com They are second hand books but most off my mine literally come good as new and you get 10% of your first order. If you ever need some books, buy it off there.


So give your self a mid year resolution, a summer resolution or give your old one another try and see how you go.

PROM TIME!

It's prom time!

For some of us, it's that time off year where you are revising for exams and sorting the last few days of school you actually have left. For me I have about 20 school days left, not like I am counting or anything tehe.

Prom must the only thing that is actually getting me through school, it's keeping me going through the last years and long nights of revision! Getting me excited for something that is coming and powering me through all the exams that will be coming to something that will hopefully be a good night and a little reward for all the work and effort I've put into everything!

Dress. To girls, I know this has got to be the most important thing ever for us at this point. People spend hours finding the right dress for them. I thought I will give you a few little tips to help finding the rest dress for you that tiny bit less stressful and more exciting.

Busty Girls. Girls who seem to have a bigger bust may want their boobs hanging out and showing however some may want to make it more classic and hidden a tiny bit more without squishing them flat down. You may want a dress that has less detailing around that area and even with straps.

Flatter Girls. You are more obviously want this area to look more full, well i do anyways i have this problem. Well I think a dress that has more detailing in this area will help give the illusions off a more fuller. Also may be an a-line dress will be able to complete this or a strapped dress.

Where to buy? Knowing what the right dress for you is just one off the problems, another is finding a good place where they sell the dresses that you are looking for. Some good websites that sell some dress that I found to be good are: 
www.newlook.com- I was personally surprised at how good there prom dress actually were which are reasonably priced. The dresses are short and long range but the colours are limited.
 a example of a dress from their website, really good style! the pricing is really good, this is about £50. 

www.coast-stores.com - The dresses from here are really good quality and the colours are light and more pastel. The colours are good but only what is on offer, the pricing is much higher but the styles are a wider range



a dress from coast-stores.com, this is a dress I actually put this one on, it's really good quality and very flowy.

www.dress.vponsale.com- This is personally my new favourite shop and where I have got my dress from! The dresses are a wider range, different styles, able to change the colour to suit you and custom sizing for free. The dress are a range from short dresses, longer dresses, puffy dresses, simple styled, more detailed dresses. The negative is that it's only an online shop so unable to see what it looks like on you but if you know what type of dress you want, it's fine!.

My Dress
I thought I should share my dress that I will be wearing, this must be the only dress I really loved and I just fell in love with it the moment I've seen it. It's an dress inspired by what Selena Gomez wore on a red carpet, didn't realised until after I've brought the dress. The dress is from www.dress.vponsale.com. It's been customised to my size and was able to change it if I wanted too but decided to keep it the way it was.

So go on girls! Get your dresses or if you still not your prom yet, get looking and start getting excited! Hope you all find the right dress you love!
