Old Day....

The other day (3rd August) was my 22nd Birthday

Feels like now I have to grow up which is something I'm not 100% comfortable with!

I spent the day with friends and my Mum, shopping and eating perfect combo...

In the evening my boyfriend took me for a meal and some of my family were there as well which was lovely

Flowers from my man

Birthday shopping and few presents 

Loving my new shoes

Gorgeous necklace my man bought me

Hope everyone's doing good :)

Love

I swear to you, I'll be there for you

I am loving all of this sunny weather and taking full advantage of every minute I'm not spent cooped up in Topps Tiles...the place is like a green house it's so damn hot! 
On recent shopping trips I've been stocking up on summery clothes and I finally get to wear them, so happy :)
So here's a couple of outfits from a lovely sunny weekend

Dress, Jacket, Shoes and Leggings all from New Look

New look seems to be the only place I shop at the moment, might have something to do with only shopping with my Mum and she loves the place

I wandered into the Inspire plus size section and found this little jacket, being a size 18 its slightly oversized but I think the style definitely benefits from that and I love it, keep chucking it on top of everything

I'm also loving my Benefit Browzings kit

Much better than a pencil and I can see it lasting ages too

I'm thinking about dedicating a whole post to it



With the above outfit I also wore this little guy

I love anything with an animal motif and this instantly reminded me of Kenya

For £4 I couldn't leave him behind

Giraffe ring~New Look

I wore that outfit to my boyfriends sister's 21st birthday party

Spent the evening with his family and had such a lovely time

Wasn't her birthday cake cute...




Today I'm just chilling out seeing my Mum and doing a few bits around the flat

Skirt~Clothing at Tesco

Vest~New Look

Worn with Brown Leather Primark Sandals



More bug motifs...

Earrings~New Look



Loving this print 

Hope everyone else is enjoying the sun 

Love

18 and East

I've been stuck with window shopping on the clothes front so been eying up various new websites and the goodness they hold...

18 and East is one of my newest discoveries and I love the clothes they stock. 

Gathered Detail Dress

£38.00 

This is my favourite dress on the site and I'm definitely placing this at the top of my wish list

I can just see myself in the summer wearing this gorgeous dress and feeling all girly 

Asymmetric Belted Dress 

£38.00

I'm such a fan of girly dresses and this is so cute 

High Waisted Scallop Shorts

£28.00

I don't really own any shorts other than a denim pair and these are so pretty

I love the scalloped edge detail and the print

Wide Leg Trousers

£40.00

The print on these are actually little pidgeons

A bit different and I've been after some wide leg light weight trousers for ages

They also have a pretty impressive sale on at the moment

Love

"Jingle Bells"

This has been a pretty crazy week

Monday I was working with my Mum and finishing up all my essays

Tuesday I trekked it up to uni for all of 10 minutes but I needed to hand an essay in so it was necessary

I did however meet my Dad in Covent Garden, he's working on some windows in the London Film School. Had a cup of tea and wander with him and then spent two hours in Covent Garden myself.

Finally got me some MAC foundation and so far I LOVE it :) 

Wednesday had the rest of my deadlines

Rest of the week's just been full of working, gym, seeing Gavin and being cold (our boiler's broken :( )

I've over done it with the gym this week and my hips have been sooo bloody painful but I soldiered on

So happy their all finished.....

Finally managed to find a way to style this jumper that I like

Camel Jumper: Topshop

Black vest: New Look

Skinny Jeans: Torrid

Brown Brogues: New Look

I'm feeling pretty crap at the moment, I've put on a fair bit of weight and I have no idea why :(

I go to the gym at least 3/4 times a week (except when deadlines are looming) I eat averagely healthy, not perfect but it isn't terrible. I just don't know what to do anymore

On the plus side I'm loving this MAC make up

The MUA was extremely helpful with finding my correct shade and showed me how to apply without looking like a 'creepy dolly' (Gavin's words, not mine) 

Hopefully my skin will stop breaking out as I'll be using less product, fingers crossed!

Popped into Tesco yesterday and bought this jumper, I've had my eye on it for a while and it was reduced to £8, had to have it! 

I also bought a taupey colour, holey jumper. 

I went in there looking for some pretty dresses but nothing caught my eye, oh well!

I've been looking at a few things I'd like to by in the New Year and feel I need to do some MAJOR saving! 

Or win the lottery... either would be helpful.

I'm off to get in a Christmassy mood and cook dinner

Snuggly night in with Gavin is on the cards me thinks :)

America Haul

I've been back from my wondeful holiday for almost two weeks now and thought I'd post a few of the things I bought....

I haven't included pictures of everything as that would have taken far too long and I couldn't find a lot of it online and am too lazy to get everything out to take photos of, tut tut!

But this post is still extremely picture heavy.

These lip balms are amazing little balls of goodness! They taste so gooood :)

I've already hunted them down on ebay to get the two I didn't buy on holiday.

I had a bit of a blowout in walmart too, got some revlon nail varnishes for only $3 each! And some lipsticks, covergirl make up nothing too exciting really

Aerie:

I actually got this in more of a browny/taupe colour but it's lovely and snuggly


These P.J pants are awesome!!!!

And these are the best gym training trousers I have :)

Torrid:

I love Torrid's jeans, it is a plus size shop but I'm the smallest size so it makes a podge like me feel better :)

I bought these same jeans last year and love them so much I got another pair

And I got these for something a bit different

My best friend wouldn't let me leave without buying these, they fit so well

Abercrombie and Fitch:

Had a bit of a blowout in here...

Got this in dark blue too, and two vest tops which I haven't posted pictures of as their just boring!

This is actually Hollister but is pretty much the only thing I got in there so didn't seperate it...

I did actually get another two cardis and a jumper :/ oopsy!

MAC:

I'm terrible with remembering the names of all the eyeshadows I got...

I think they're:

Woodwinked

Expensive Pink

Jest

Satin Taupe (these four I know I defnitely got :) )

Mulch

Vex

213 Brush

I'm really impressed with MAC as I knew I would be and intend to buy lots more!

Shoes:

Short Chestnut Uggs

I wear these to and from work, so comfy after being on my feet all day

I've just seen these on the internet for £200, I paid $180 :)

Just because I threw out my old, decrepid converse just before we went...

Other stuff I bought:

Fossil watch

Tommy Hilfiger Denim Jacket and cardigan

Lots of Forever 21 bits (will be in upcoming OOTD posts)

New panda teddy (to feed my panda obsession...)

Nike workout gear

Clinique stuff in duty free

Juicy Couture perfume

Marc Jacobs Dasiy perfume

Chanel Chance eau tendre

Three Guess handbags

Dresses from Pacsun and Charlotte Russe

Burts Bees goodies

And I think that's it

I intend to do frequent outfit posts once I get back to uni as I won't be wearing a horrible red polyester uniform all the time :)

Sorry for the super long post but it kept me busy at work
