New Look Buy!

so i kind of feel like i havent treated myself for months! no really i havent bought anything personally since the january sales! my mam bought me my dipped hem aztec skirt from river a few months back and i bought a dress for holidays around the similar time.. such a sad life! so out of last weeks pay, i was treating my self, i kind of over spent, spending nearly all of my money in one day and mostly in wetherspoons... but anyway back to the purpose!  my baby cousins christening is coming up in may, and being a girl i needed something new for it! of course...   i saw this dress on the new look website, and when i saw the price of £29.99 i though ooh, a bit steep! but then realising that's what i would normally spend on a dress, its just i haven't bought one in so long!  this dress was a must on my to buy list and before it went out of the shops too! i ended up having to order it as they didnt have my size in store uless i dramatically lose about 7 stone and drop to a size 8, there wasnt no chance!  but it finally arrived wednesday, and i did order a size smaller.. and hey presto it fitted!! i felt like cinderella and the glass slipper :) what do you guys think of my buy? im loving some of the blazers in River Island at the moment, 'cause with our typical british weather, we could even have snow in may! better to be safe than sorry!

Right now im off up the mountain snack bar for the best breakfast in history!! see you later dudes :)

RI Aztec Skirt

just a quick post before i pop off too work :)  as promised an outfit post on my new RI Aztec Skirt!  i'm in love, it's not something i would usually choose which is probably why i love it so much :)  you know that saying something like "dont buy something if you cant think of 5 outfits it would go with ??" well when i picked this up i didn't even have one!.. but bringing it home i raided my wardrobe and found plenty :)  i think im going to try a bluey / green sleeveless shirt with it soon, fingers crossed it'll look as nice as it does in my head(yn) anyone got any suggestions?

thats it from me, im off to work for the night now and plan on having a bonding session with my bed tomorrow.. typical sunday

What I Bought...

 

a trip to Cribbs Causeway is always a successful trip!  always find some bargains once i got something like 5 bras for £8 and the other day i got £1 giraffe necklace down from £9!! These are a few of my buys, a very random selection i know, but all necessities! of course my monthly purchase of the bible that is Elle! i have got round to reading it yet, but i think a nice hot chocolate and some biscuit tonight should help me get started :)

the giraffe necklace.. OMG, how cute?? for the £1 price tag there was no-way it was staying there!!  im a huge fan of the accessorize sale, i nearly always find a bargain, but like in any sale you get your dodgy items chucked in for good measure.. not always the best.  so when i saw it was down from £9 i was looking for faults, miss-colouring, a broken chain.. nothing! it was in perfect condition, result!

this winter weather has really dried out my skin this year. i never usually suffer with my skin in cold weather but this year my skin has been a real play up, cracking from all angles :( so investing in a good moisturiser was a total must this week!  i'm trying out these Vitamin E products by Superdrug, I bought an All over Body Cream and a Hand & Nail Cream, so far im impressed! they are definitely living up to the '12 hour moisture' tag, and they smell amazing!! even better :)

i've been eyeing up this skirt for aaaaages! i saw it the same time as this skirt, but the difference is i finally bought this skirt!! i say this with my head in my hands, but that was actually my first RI clothing purchase.. i've had plenty of jewellery and shoes from there but never clothing!  but im pretty chuffed with my first RI buy:) i love the Aztec print and the 'short at the front long at the back' will really work for summer nights out! yaaay!!


Sudacrem. Sudacrem. Sudacrem... i absolutely swear by this! its amazing for spots.  i've been using for about a year now, and i've just run out of a 10g free sample pot! yes a year!!  so little goes so far with sudacrem. i'd recommend it to anybody who suffers with the occasional breakout to consistent acne. thats why i invested in the epic sized 250g tub for only £4! im gunna have years im sure...

enough of my babbling! i'll do an outfit post of my new skirt soon, maybe this afternoon, just see how my school work goes :)

Aztec Skirt Need..

i saw this skirt in-store a couple of weeks ago. and since i've been searching the RI website most days waiting to for it  become available on-line!!  i absolutely adore it, such a fun item of clothing to have in your wardrobe.  it would definitely last right through to summer as well as being suitable in these winter months, + at only £15 its a total RI bargain! we all love a good bargain.  recently i've been having a real rummage in the high street stores preparing my wardrobe for Magaluf in July.  i may have several dresses and outfits to take with me already but new clothes for a girls holiday is an absolute must!!  i might be able to treat myself to a few things after next weeks pay day... we'll see :)

this is a bit of a boring post, but when your still in your onesie because the snow has forced you to miss your open day. you result to anything! i've even got my exam prep up to date :O shock of the century!
