House things

I know, I know I'm rubbish! Haven't posted in ages because of all the stress of buying my bloomin' house and the lack of money it has left me with...boo :-(
Due to my serious skintness I have been completely unable to shop, thus making it rather difficult to blog about things I've been buying...so I thought I'd update you all anyway by letting you know I have just bought a fridge! Haha not exactly what you follow me for...but it is a beauty...

                                                                 
ooooooooh shiny!

In other news I am seriously coveting an oversized floppy hat right now...I saw one in Primarni for a mere £6, but due my silly small head it was way to big...not a good look.  I did, however manage to find one in Urban Outfitters that was made for little-people-heads and was a perfect fit...the only problem being that it was £28....anyone fancy getting it for me for my birthday on Wednesday?

Rings and pretty things


 The husbamd and I are currently trying to make the biggest purchase of our lives (a house) and it is very stressful and scary.  Everytime I sit down to write something goes wrong and I have to sort it.  
To cheer myself up I bought this pretty little ring from Riess, it’s like geometric YSL…I love it! It’s also a little treat to say well done me for doing so well at not biting my nails.

Who wants to buy me a present...?


So, it’s my birthday in a few weeks (woop woop) and I have known what I want this year pretty much from the day after my birthday last year!
This is the year of the Wang, and know I’m not talking about man bits…I am of course referring to the amazing and oh-so-cool Alexander Wang.  This year I am going to beg, borrow and steal whatever I can to purchase this beauty:

All donations welcome!

Winter is coming...


To my pure delight the nights are getting darker and the days are getting colder, I LOVE winter!
So all this can only spell one thing…kintwear shopping!
So off to Topshop I go, as it’s great for all those throw-on-with-anything pieces.  And let me tell you I emerged victorious!  I found a gorgeous oversized jumper and they had it in no less than 5 different colours: burgandy, blue, cream, grey and oatmeal for £26 a piece.  It is a common trait of mine to find something I like and then get it in multiple colours, so I settled on the cream and grey versions for now and will no doubt go back for the rest in the next month or so!

New jeans


I know what your thinking, and trust me, I agree with you whole-heartedly.  I HATE jeans shopping, it never fails to make me cry!  I am not a skinny girl, I have a big bum and thighs like a stallion achieved through years of dance training in my youth and as such, fall into a deep pit of depression whenever I try on jeans.  I have got to the point where I simply won’t wear them anymore, instead opting for jersey skirts and leggings as they always fit!
But when I saw the most beautiful pair of Paige “verdugo ultra skinny” cut jeans in work in magenta (or “joker purple” as the hubby calls it) I fell in love a little bit.  I have wanted a pair of coloured jeans for ages but never succeeded in finding a pair that didn’t make me look like an idiot, but throwing caution to the wind and with a little help from my HN girlies I thought I’d give them a go. To my surprise, a friend and colleague advised me that I did NOT look like a giant grape as she had done when trying on the same pair, and I was smitten.
Needless to say, I ended up leaving with them for a cool £33, thanks to my £100 voucher and staff discount combined.  They are super stretch as well meaning they are mega comfy and I would definitely recommend that you have at least one pair in your wardrobe.  I intend to pick up some more in sale.  A word of advise when you get yours: go snug to allow for the super stretch!

Thank you HN!


Today I am a happy lady as I have just received £100 worth of vouchers from work. Good times! “Why?”, I hear you ask…well the reason behind this sudden burst of generosity is that I recently scored 100% in a mystery shop. Hooray.
So now is the dilemma of what the hell do I spend it on?! Now as you can imagine, £100 will not get me that far…so do I go for something small, or do I use it to save me a chunk on something big…I can’t bloody decide! 
Obviously I will keep you all updated and if you have any suggestions feel free to let me know!
