Toodles

I am off to Ibiza for a few days. Can't wait to get away. Next week Bulgaria. Living the student budget high life one day at a time

Granny freak in the sheets

My mum got me these really cute vintage sheets from an antique shop in West Hampstead. Think they are soo cute! Also picked up some wooden canvases of Kurt Cobain and David Bowie from St Lukes Hospice in Stanmore for 49 p each! Love charity shops, some people can't handle the looking through all the clothes but I find it so relaxing. I can't handle it though if its in big shops, like Primark and H&M, it just stresses me out having to fight with people for breathing space

Healthy eating...or not

Has anyone else found that a week before you are meant to go on holiday you just cant stop stuffing your face? No? Just me then. I don't know what it is. It's like my body knows I am going away to a hot country were bikini wearing is mandatory. In a last ditch attempt to shift a few pounds (or stones) I have tried (and failed) to be as healthy as I possibly can this week. 

Trip to....Letchworth

Outfit:
Crop Top- Topshop
Pencil Skirt- Primark
Wedges- ASOS
Clutch- Primark
Watch- Guess

I went to visit my Uni friend yesterday in Letchworth as a Happy Birthday/ Farewell. She is off to New York to study for her first term. MISS HER ALREADY!!! Cheeky outfit of the night with my favorite people. Oh and crazy fact of the day is since damaging the ligaments in and around my ankle (cheers Jeffrey Campbell) my ankle was so swollen still and its been three weeks since I did it. Last night was the first time I had worn heels since hurting my ankle, but now I woke up this morning and its returned to an acceptable size. Win, win situation. p.s: I've been paid, watch out high street.

Ibiza countdown: 4 Days!!!
Bulgaria countdown: 10 Days!!!

Studs and spikes

Outfit:
Shirt- Primark
Jeans- Topshop
Necklace- H&M
Bag- La Moda
Watch- Guess
Sunglasses- Ray Bans
Shoes- Urban Outfitters

My favorite thing at the moment has to be my new Ray-Bans. I worked long and hard to finally get them and with discount (I work at Waitrose) I got them for £90. Took this briefly before going on a quick shop and coffee with my Grandmama (cute). My lipstick is actually a lip liner from Collection 2000 in Damson, it was about £1.99 and the color lasts for quite a while. Before putting it on apply some Vaseline just because it drys the lips out really quickly.

Another Outfit Another day

This is what I wore to lunch today with my family. Off to Letchworth on Thursday to stay with friends then next Tuesday ill be sunning myself in lovely Ibiza.

Outfit:

Dress- Sparkle and Fade @ Urban Outfitters

Shoes: Kurt Geiger (Charity Shop)

Glasses: Vintage

Bracelet: Vintage

Lovin the sun

As I said previously, I was in the process of dip dying my ends lavender. Voila, the end product. Not as strong as I want it to be, so am going to intensify it next week before I go to Ibiza. Cheeky OOTD also. Picked the dress up from Zara in the sale, was originally £50 and I got it for £17.99. Bargain bin

Chipped nails and boredom= Something weird

I had my nails Chelsea Square Rose Gold by Nails Inc but it chipped off (in one day!!!) so with boredom reaching new levels I did my tips Organdy by Chanel. Possibly the most girly nails I've ever had, don't know how to feel about this

Weekly want

Topshop- £65

Miss Guided- £45.99

Grandmas Washing Line- £20 (can be found on Asos marketplace) 

So with pay-day (and student loan day) coming that bit closer I am already lining up a number of things to buy. Although I'm off to Ibiza in a week and then Bulgaria in two weeks holiday clothing isn't even on my mind. The one thing I do have my eye on  is a coat. The coat in particular I'm lusting on is the army jackets in Topshop and online at Asos and Miss Guided. They range in price and quality but the look and idea is still there. For the real money strapped, there are some amazing pieces on Ebay and Asos Marketplace. I think I am more likely to be buying the Miss Guided coat, but be warned the quality when trying on clothes from Miss Guided is so hit and miss, SO BE WARNED!!!

Love for my nails

The greatest accessory to an outfit.....NAIL POLISH. And with my recent boredom and inspiration from the WAH! Nails pop up book, I have started to try free hand designs. (day off from work and this is what I achieve)

Nail polishes used:

First photo: All Barry M colors

Last Photo: Models Own, Beach Party, Hed Kandi Collection

Another successful day shopping on a minus bank account

With more and more things and purchases I need in my life, walking around the local highstreet you can imagine for me is like an alcoholic in a pub. However, thanks to my most prized possession, my UCAS card, I can shop on the cheap. Here are my likkle purchases I picked up today. And don't judge me on my pick n mix obsession and Wilkinsons' tea tree make-up wipes at 69p. 

Dress: Topshop (£20, £18 after student discount)

Love Lavender

After re-dip dying the ends of my hair a more lighter and intense shade of blonde I am now ready for the next stage of Lavender tips. I gave my hair a one day break due to the ends being quite dry after the bleaching process. Big tip (excuse the pun) for the ombre stage is to use Mystic Oil, it puts life back into not just my ends but the whole of my hair. It also puts off split ends (and the Hairdresser for a while). I'll be using  Crazy Color in no.54 Lavender and at £3.49 (including a tinting brush) it sits happily in my student budget.

Introduction to me and my everyday

Currently a student at the University of Reading, studying History, with a sick addiction to shopping and everything fashionable. Strapped for cash but thankfully an overdraft and a student loan save me when my payday from my part-time job is spent up and when Topshop have a sale on.
