Im off to NYC!

I just wanted to update and let all of you lovely readers know I will be absent from blogging from the 3rd-8th of March.

This is because on Monday I jet off to the famous streets of the Big Apple! Yes NEW YORK!

This will be the second time I've been to NYC, the last time being in July 2010 (ages ago I know!) and will be an "educational trip" with my Art Foundation course.

I will be taking lots of photographs and writing posts up in my mini-notebook the whole time so look forward to those going up when I arrive home.

au revoir

Personal Style #1

I have seen many people post OOTD's and FOTD's on their blog's, but personally Ive always been a bit too scared to attempt one! However I'm making a new start for 2014 and today's post is my first OOTD (as you may have guessed from the title).

Today was another lazy day home alone for me, but didn't mean I couldn't dress up! (I have that awful tendency to look decent when I have nowhere to go).

I am sporting a colourful jumpsuit from "SOUTH" borrowed from my mother's old wardrobe paired with a "24/7" denim jacket and denim wedges from Primark. I also added a small heart pendant to add a little more bling to the outfit (this outfit is probably more appropriate for summer)

Oh and I had to add a scary mask to the outfit too!

Are you fed up with all these winter blues? 

I know I am! I thought I'd change my jeans to something a bit more fun for once and I have to say, I was pleased with the results! Id like to invest a bit more into jewellery and vintage pieces as I don't own many of either, so if you have any recommendations write them in a comment below or come visit me on Twitter or Facebook.

I hope you liked my outfit! Let me know if these types of posts are ones you’d like to see more of.

Mini-Spring Haul

Finally I have finished all my deadlines at college and I'm free to start blogging again! Over the christmas period, my contract at work finished so I was left completely moneyless and jobless. However I managed to save up several allowances and buy some bargains!

White Scallop Top; Topshop £16

Baby Lips in Cherry Me and Pink Punch from Superdrug; £2.99 each

Collection Eyeshadow Pallette in Purple from Superdrug; £3.99

MUA Blush in Lolly from Superdrug; £1.00

GlamLips in Pin Up from Wilkinsons; £1.56

Necklace from H&M; £6.99

Whilst in town I popped into one of my favourite beauty stores; M.A.C and got a sample of their studio fix foundation in NC15 as I haven't tried it on my skin since I was the ripe age of 13! The lady at the desk was also kind enough to give a sample of M.A.C's Natural Radiance Primer in Pink to make sure the foundation looked its best when it was applied.

I also picked up a bit of tartan ribbon (to make into a bow) and a lacy collar which I plan to add to a plain white shirt (once I've learnt how to do it!).

Thats all for now but once I find a new job there should be a lot more of these to come!
