My New Love

As i mentioned in my post last week I'm totally in love with these jeggings from Matalan and i have been wearing them so much, so here they are back on the blog again.

PB086191

Wearing these jeggings has meant that some of my lesser worn tops have been getting an outing which can only be a good thing. I have had this shirt for about a year now but I'm not sure if I've ever worn it. I think after i had initially bought it the colour put me off a little but after wearing it the other day i really love it.

I added some black love heart earrings and my black leather jacket to go out as its been pretty chilly recently. This shirt is a size 24 and really quite baggy although weirdly in certain positions the buttons over the bust gape. I have found this a lot with shirts from New Look unfortunately, it can easily be sewn closed but its a little annoying to get a gape when you size up in a shirt and the rest of it is baggy.

I thought I'd show you the back of these jeggings, they have quite a thick waist band so they don't fall down at all! And they fit like a glove especially around my bum which makes me a happy lady.
I hope you all have a great weekend :)

You Beauty

My You Beauty box came this week and i wanted to share it with you. I think this months box has to be one of the best value ones that i have had.
My first pick for this month was Magnifibres brush on false lashes, i already own one of these but i really like them and if i can get them in a beauty box, rather than paying the rrp of £21, then i will jump at the chance! Once i got to grips with using these i found them really good and they do add a nice thickness to my lashes rather than length.


My second pick was a Bourjois cream blush. Again i already own this but in shade 2, i took a gamble as i wasn't sure which of the shades i would be sent. Luckily i was sent number 3 which is a lovely shade and different to the one i already own. These blushes are really easy to apply and look great on.


The extra treats this month weren't really my thing but I'm not too bothered as my picks made the box for me. The little extras this moth were samples of Merumaya cleanings balm and youth serum and a sachet of Baobab super fruit powder. I'm not sure any of the samples will get used but the rest of my box definitely will!
What did you get in your beauty box this month?

Spotty Dotty

I'm sharing another outfit that i wore to work with you all today. This is a jersey shirt dress that i bought from Evans some time ago. I decided i wanted to pop a nice dress on as i had been in trousers for most of the week.

PB086208

This dress has buttons all the way down but the jersey material means that they never pull. Its a really easy dress to just pop on and dress up or down for a day at work or a meal out. I think a shirt dress is a nice staple to have in your wardrobe and they never seem to go out of style.

PB086207

There is a material tie around the dress which I've tied in a bow under my bust to give the dress some shape. I added my hair bow and some red lips and i was good to go. As it was a little chilly out i wore my Simply Be leopard jacket i got in the summer although i haven't got any pictures of the jacket with the dress.

PB086206

I think this dress is great and it really should get more wear than it does. As i bought it quite a while ago its no longer on the site but I've seen a few similar styles on eBay if you fancied adding it to your wardrobe.

Cosy Winter Knit

It's gotten pretty chilly over the last few days so i decided to dig out my cutest jumper for work the other day. I bought this jumper last year from New Look, the cute little pug caught my eye and i knew it had to be mine.

PB086183

I bought this in a size 24 as i wanted it to be over sized, its so comfy and cosy and it was perfect for a day at work. The jumper is quite thin so i wasn't too warm inside but it kept me snug when i was outside on my lunch. It is super soft too, there is nothing worse than a scratchy jumper!

PB086182

I wore this with my new jeggings from Matalan, I'm totally in love with them and have worn them so many times since i bought them a few weeks ago. I can see them becoming a staple as we go into the colder months.

PB086178

I felt super cute in this outfit and i was comfy all day. I am seriously contemplating buying another pair of these jeggings as they are so amazing! If anyone else has any recommendations for other jeggings let me know as I'm pretty sure I'll need more of these over the winter.
I hope you all had a great weekend i was working Sunday so I'm looking forward to a 3 day weekend this week.
XOXO

Payday Treats

This is a mix and match of all the bits I've bought over the last few months but hadn't got around to sharing with you. As I've been busy at work i haven't had time for any outfit pictures so i thought this was a good time to share my new bits with you.
First up are a few bits i got from Asda and Matalan. The rings were a bargain £3, the earrings £2 and the pink biker jacket was £30. I love the jacket so much the pink colour is perfect and i adore the faux fur collar! I got this in a size 20 and i can zip it up although i prefer it open.




The acid wash jeggings are a size 20 from Matalan. They are super soft and stretchy, i had seen them on Leah who got them from the Rogers and Rogers section but they didn't have my size in my local Matalan so i decided to give the petite sections size 20 a go and I'm glad i did. While was there i picked up this super cute bag and the Mr decided to treat me which was super nice of him.


On a shopping trip to Meadowhall with my mum she kindly bought me a few bits in Primark, some shoes which are a bargain £4 and perfect for work. I picked up the roller ball perfume too which smells lovely, and is slim enough to fit in any of my handbags and only £2.



This is a top i have had for ages, i bought it a few months ago when i went shopping with Lisa. It was £5 in the H&M sale and is a size XL.


Lastly i have picked up a few red lipsticks during my shopping trips. From Left to right they are, Sleek Russian Roulette, 17 Rule Breaker, 17 Date Night.




I didn't realise i had got so much over the last few months until i went to take these pictures! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend :)
XOXO

All the wants!

Its been quite some time since i did a wish list post so here are a few things that have caught my eye over the last few weeks.
I have such a strong desire for this dress from Simply Be isn't it beautiful?!

I'm pretty smitten with these boots also from Simply Be.

And continuing my nail polish obsession this Barry M top coat would be perfect in my collection.

These collar clips from Black Heart Creatives are the cutest ever!

I think this could be the most perfect shade of lipstick ever!

And finally as you know i love a bit of leopard print so why not add some to my laptop!

What do you have on your wish list at the minute?
XOXO

Pretty Polish

I have recently developed a bit of an obsession with nail polish and seem to have added quite a few to my collection recently so i thought i would share them with you.
First up are these two bargain polishes from Aldi i saw that the were a special buy so decided to give them a try and for £1.49 you can't really go wrong. They did have a few different colours but i went with strawberry and purple rain. The are a nice consistency and really lovely colours.



I have always loved Barry M polishes, they are great quality and a good price too. These were on 3 for 2 so obviously i had to get 3! I went for the gelly polish in green berry and i couldn't resist the glitterati polish in socialite and fashion icon.



While i was in Superdrug recently i also picked up some of the collection 2000 polishes which again were on 3 for 2 and only £1.99 each. I went with sonic blue as i didn't have another colour like this, then i picked up these lovely pastel shades in pink cadillac and lilac daze.



Finally i ordered myself some super cute polishes from the Avon rep at my work. Both of these were on offer for £3 each which i think is a good price considering how pretty they are. First up is this opal top coat which I'm totally in love with! Then i went with stardust in teal glitter, i was so impressed with it that i ordered it in black from the next Avon book!



I have my eye on a few other nail polishes it seems by obsession knows no bounds!
