Worn for my Mum's birthday meal out

When I saw this shirt in Tesco I had to take a double look

It's so on trend with the collar tips and dipped hem, which you can't really see here

I love it, in fact I wore it for a job interview recently as well

It was only £14 I think as well which is amazing!

Love

I can see the pain behind your eyes, it's been there for quite a while

I wore this for a recent meal out with a few girlfriends.

I felt really comfortable which makes a change as I usually feel a bit bleb and don't go out much (loser I know).

These long vests from New Look are brilliant, their only £6 and go so well under sheer tops, short jumpers or just on their own. I've stocked up, can never find nice, fitted, long vests.

Vest ~ New Look

Belt ~ Topshop

Sandals ~ Primark

Watch ~ Michael Kors

Handbag ~ Mulberry Alexa

I recently hopped on a train with some of my family and visited the lovely London to see the theatre show Rock of Ages (above is my outfit). It was epic! 

Shayne Ward plays an egotistical, dramaqueen, rock god and he was amazing in his role...and yummy! Unfortunately Justin Lee Collins wasn't in it the night we saw it but the other guy was really good, just a shame we missed him.

If you get the chance I'd definitely recommend it, and there's a little Greek restaurant near the theatre I'd also recommend.

Wedding Bells No.2

Pink Dress ~ Tesco (last minute purchase)

Black Blazer ~ New Look

Nude Wedges ~ New Look

Chunky Necklace ~ Coast

Handbag ~ Mulberry Alexa

The other week it was my boyfriends cousins wedding

This was my outfit of choice, I couldn't decide what to wear so I made a last minute dash to Tesco in my lunch break and came out with this pink number, not bad for £15..

Tesco seems to be excelling in high street fashion now, before when It was deemed embarrassing to buy clothes from Tesco seems so long ago now!

Dance the night away...

I haven't posted an outfit in so long!

I have to say it's a pretty poor excuse of an outfit post considering its taken on my iPhone and in the mirror...bad blogger!

This lovely dress has been in my wardrobe for about three years and I've never worn it...crazy I know. 

Guess I never thought it suited me at the time and just forgot about it. 

A little gem I found in an Urban Outfitters sale reduced from £48 to £5, needless to say very happy

 Dress~Urban Outiffters

Shoes~New Look

Bandeau~New Look 

 Blazer~New Look

Necklace~Topshop

Watch~Michael Kors 

The back of this dress is the real statement but unfortunately I completely forgot to photograph it. Next time I wear it I'll make sure to get a pic.

Meet Sir Barnabus the third a.k.a Barney

My mum's new little pooch who I adore

I got plenty of cuddles with him this morning whilst feeling a little worse for wear

Look of the night and a sneaky little purchase

Another week full of ups and downs

I had a big old cry the other day and got a lot of my system so feel in general 10 times better

I've learnt that my friends are even more indispensable than I originally thought and really appreciate everything they've done for me recently

Been bad with the gym this week, hurt my back on Wednesday and only went back today

Didn't want to do any further damage :)

Only lost 1lb this week but it's better than  nothing and after last weeks big loss I wasn't expecting a miracle

After all that's still half a stone in two weeks

I've got a mini superdrug lots of goodies to post at some point but I'm off to the Excel make-up show tomorrow and will probably have a few more beauty bits to post so I'll just put them all together 

Friday night I went out with some friends

It all started ok, ended with some drama

Typical it was a girl who turned up later in the evening who caused said drama and ruined the night, this is why I'm not friends with many girls anymore

Hopefully next time will be better

I did however learn I'm not that bad at pool

Last week they got me bowling, this week pool...what next!?

 These little beauties are my new favourite boots

I've been thinking about getting some worker/hobo/whatever boots for a while

But every pair I've tried on make my legs look funnny

I bought a pair which looked alright in the shop and when I wore them out at home felt they looked a bit odd...now I can't take them back though :/

When I popped into Tesco for Despicable Me on Tuesday Mum and I had a wonder around the clothes

I fell in love with another pair of boots but they only had size 5's and weren't getting anymore in as they were old stock, sad times!

I saw these and thought they would look terrible on, cut my legs off in a bad place

But on trying them on I was pleasantly surprised as to how flattering they were

They go with everything, so happy with my little tesco booties

And they only cost (my Mum) £18 :D 

This outfit is from Friday night

I felt over-dressed but also felt really good in what I was wearing

And got some compliments, considering I was mainly out with guys I was shocked!

 I kept my face quite natural and used Nars Orgasm blush

 I attempted a smokey eye

Using a few shadows from my AIW Urban Decay pallette and two new MUA shadows

Finished off with loreal superline and Dior Black out mascara

Just a slick of coral gloss on my lips as my eyes were quite dramatic

I wore contact lenses as well so my eyes really stood out for a change

 Playsuit: Primark

Blazer: New Look

Black chain bag (Barely seen): Vintage

Tights: Primark

Watch: Fossil

Fang ring: Topshop

Just another photo of my outfit

I wore black heels so my legs looked super long (being 5ft 11 probably helped too!)

Now I guess I should tackle my pile of uni reading

No more lectures now though 

Yay!

Love

'It's not all doom and gloom...'

Hi everyone

To be honest I've not had the greatest couple of days

My Mum owns her own leaded light business and it's not doing too great

I work this company too so if it goes under I'm screwed

Because of this the New York/Cruise trip has been cancelled until further notice

Great....

I wasn't too disappointed as I thought I was still going on holiday with my lovely best friend

Unfortunately Gavin has put his foot down and refuses to let me go

Even though I can get the money from other places he won't justify me any spending money

So I'm stuck in England all year

This hasn't happened in a long time

I love travelling, I want to see the world so one holiday a year isn't exactly greedy...

Eurgh I sound pathetic but I like to have something to look forward to and this has really put a downer on things at the moment

It feels like moving out means I can't do anything

I can't buy clothes, make-up, shoes NOTHING!

Right now I'm just so fed up and really don't know what to do

I think getting upset about something so petty is really my way of letting out all my frustrations about uni, careers and money

I'm someone who keeps it all bottled up and then just explodes

Anyway enough of the grumpiness

As Russell Howard says: 'It's not all doom and gloom'

After being so ill this week I got back to the gym Friday

I weighed myself and lost half a stone, after having a chinese takeaway Thursday night!

So I'm more motivated now to keep that off and lose the rest. Hopefully another half a stone before Valentines day. I'll keep you updated

It was mine and Gavin's three year anniversary on Thursday (hence the takeaway) but being so skint we didn't really celebrate it, we might do something for V day instead

All my photoshoots for the next 3 months are planned so hopefully I'll get the motivation and inspiration I need to get out there and shoot till my hearts content 

We went out Saturday night and I had a good time, there were a few people in the pub from my past who would rather not see ever again but there will always be situations like that I guess, just have to deal with it.

Get my student loan tomorrow so I get to spend a little bit of money on myself

Not much but I think a treat is in order :)

I didn't manage to get a very good photo of my outfit as Gavin was un-co-operative (surprise surprise) with taking photos for me and I was rushed out the door so the self timer shots that I had were terrible!!

Shoes: Accessorize

Gavin said they look weird, like I have gills on my feet :/

I tried a new lipstick, quite a brave choice for me

Revlon 'Cherries in the snow'

I love it though, I felt good wearing it

Outfit

Black ruched top: Miss Selfridge 

Red Belt: Accessorize

Black Jeans: Torrid

Blazer: New Look

Well I'm off to internet window shop and try and cheer myself up

Expect a mini haul probably consisting of Primark, sale rejects and drugstore make up soon :)

Love 

Belle
