Aloha! Tonight it is my work's Christmas party! We are having a theme night in a casino so I thought I better dress to impress! Here is what I'm going to be wearing.

I bought this sparkly Lipsy dress about 3 years ago now but I love it so much, it always gets to make an appearance over the festive period. I decided not to buy a new dress this year as I always buy something that I only ever wear once or twice afterwards!

These shoes were a steal at only £5 from Primark! I desperately needed a new pair of black heels as I wear the ones I have every day at work so they are all a bit wrecked now! I wanted to buy a pair that I will be able to wear to work after the night out and these were perfect. I'm loving the caged shoes that are around at the moment!

I'm going to team this outfit with a black blazer and some thick black tights!

I'll pop some photos of the night out in my SundayPost this week!

Primark Haul

Aloha! It has been ages since I last did a Primark haul on here, so I thought I would do a little post about the bargains I have picked up lately! 

Sandals £12

I picked up these to wear to my graduation (which is tomorrow!) as I really didn't fancy attempting to walk in front of hundreds of people in stilettos! This is mainly because I'm still suffering slightly from breaking my toe in Mexico! These are dead comfy, and they are wide fit so hopefully my little feet will be okay in these all day!

Tote Bag £1.50

In Scotland we have to pay 5p for every carrier bag we use. When I saw this at the till, I had to get it. Obviously because it has a cat on it! Also because I'm saving the planet though! I keep this rolled up in my handbag so whenever I need to pop to the shops, I always have my own carrier bag!

Cardigan £5 (reduced from £10)

This was a pretty difficult item to get a photo of! It's a batwing style cardigan in quite a thin material so it would be suitable for wrapping around you on a chilly summer evening (or just every day if you live in Scotland!) I'll probably wear this to work as its easy to chuck on over a blouse and skirt!

Blouse £3 (reduced from £10)

Talking of blouses, I got this bargain one for every day work wear! I've just found out I've got a graduate job (woohoo!) so I'll need to start dressing more professionally! I also bought this in black, which was also only £3!

Dress £5 (reduced from £13)

How pretty is this dress! It would be lovely to wear to a wedding or a special occasion. I will probably end up wearing it as a work dress once I've found a blazer/cardigan to match it!

Nail Polish £1.50 

Earrings £1

My mum swears by this long wearing nail polish! At the moment, they only have it in 2 colours, this bright red and a hot pink. I was looking for a red one for my graduation so I was pretty happy with this! According to my mum, this is like having shellac on, and I actually noticed they had a gel effect top coat polish for just £1 if you really wanted to strengthen that effect! I've yet to try it, but I'll put up a post once I have! 

These earrings were purchased also to wear to graduation. I plan on wearing my hair down so there was just looking for a simple pair. At £1, I can't really complain with these!

Okay so this last purchase isn't actually from Primark...it's from H&M and was a bargain £5.99! It was such an impulse purchase but I can actually see me wearing it quite a lot! I have a whole wardrobe full of cat print items and I'm forever adding to it haha! 

So that's all my recent purchases from Primark (and one from H&M)! I'll probably be doing a little workwear haul soon as I prepare to start my new job, so look out for that!

Head over heels..

Carvela Kurt Geiger leather shoes, $150 / Mary jane shoes / Vince Camuto shoes, $110 / Sheep shoes / Vivienne Westwood black pumps, $125 / Sole Society wedding shoes / Carvela Kurt Geiger navy blue shoes, $185

Firstly, I would like to apologise for being absent from the blogosphere for the past few weeks! Whilst I was on holiday, I was offered a job which I started the day after I got back. Things have been pretty hectic while I settled into working 9-5. But I'm back! As my new job is in an office, I have been on the hunt for some nice office wear. The one thing I'm struggling with is shoes! I am not a heels person but I have a few outfits that would look best with heels so I'm currently on the hunt for some! This is my little polyvore board of my favourite finds so far.
Do let me know if you've seen any nice heels lately!

Hello Everyone! 
I've recently become obsessed with flatform sandals, so today I'm bringing you my pick of the best ones out there! If you are short like me, these will be your best friend this summer! They are honestly the comfiest sandals ever! They are just like wearing flats (well duh! the clue is in the name!)
I love wearing maxi dresses in summer and I usually need a pair of wedges to stop them trailing the ground. However, the place I'm going on holiday to this year is full of cobbled streets which could result in a broken ankle if I wear high wedges. With these, I hope my feet will be nice and comfy and my ankles nice and un-broken!
Do you have a pair of flatforms? What do you think of them?

Primark Haul! (October 2013)

Eeeek! My favourite kind of post! 

Last weekend my mum and I went into town for a little spending spree! I had just been paid so it was the perfect time for a primark haul! 

 

This was the first item I picked up. This was £4 and has a lovely chiffon back with a big loop cutaway! I plan on wearing this to work with leggings or with a black skirt and tights! 

 

I'm an absolute sucker for Primark Pyjamas and these were only £5! I love how cosy and soft they are! 

 

I absolutely fell in love with this cardigan the moment I saw it! It was £14 which is more than I normally pay for a cardigan in Primark but I just had to have it. It is burgundy (my favourite!) and sparkly (another favourite!) with gold and black detailing. I wore it to Uni today and it was warm enough to run from the car in the rain and also cool enough to prevent me overheating in the stuffy classrooms. 

 

Next up is these burgundy leggings. I really liked the quilted panels at the top and I think these will look nice with ugg boots in the winter. They are also a nice thick material which is a bonus! These were £6. 

I then got this lovely sparkly black skirt. I probably won't wear this much but I'm possibly planning on wearing it at Christmas time as it looks very festive! This was £6. It feels quite thin and flimsy though so I'm hoping it will be okay to wear with just tights! 

 

Now on to the accessories! I'm not planning on buying a new winter coat this year so I'm buying some new accessories to go with it. My coat is burgundy tartan and it's bum-length wool coat, So this wooly hat will look awesome with it! And a bargain at only £3. The knitted headband was £1.50. I bought a few of these last year and I never wore them as I thought they looked a bit silly on me. However I've had them on a few times in the last few weeks (mainly to keep my hair out my way) and they look so much better now I've grown my hair a lot longer! 

 

Next, I got these sparkly studded shoes for £4 in the sale. I have to wear black shoes to work so I've been buying lots of patterned black shoes and so far I've not been told off! These are actually very comfy for primark shoes! The pants were £1. Anyone who knows me will know I'm obsessed with anything cat print! I'm definately a self-proclaimed cat lady! So when I saw these I had to get them to add to my cat-clothing collection! 

 

And finally I picked up these hair accessories! I've been wearing my hair down a lot lately but clipping back the front bits as they are very frizzy and NEVER sit right! So i grabbed this set of 2 hair clips for £1. Then I got these 2 hairbands in the sale. The cream one was £1 and the black fake-hair braided one was only 50p! I saw a girl at Uni wearing a similar hairband the other day so I thought I would give them a try! 

So that's everything for this Primark Haul! What's you favourite item? Have you done a primark haul recently? I'd love to see your posts so drop me a comment in the box below! 

New Look Haul + 25% voucher link!

I managed to come across a little voucher for 25% off at New Look until 24th september, so this was the perfect opportunity to pick up a few new items for wearing to Uni.



The first thing I picked up was this cute deer vest top! It is quite a long vest which I really like so I can wear it with leggings! This was £7.99 so with 25% off I got it for £6 which is verging on Primark prices which is just great! I can tell I will wear this lots!



You can't really tell from the picture (Sorry, the lighting in my bedroom is terrible) but these are denim look leggings! I used to have a pair of these a few years ago but I managed to rip them so I threw them out! I like wearing leggings as they are so comfy, especially when you are stuck sitting around in classes all day so I will definitely wear these lots too! And because they are denim effect, they will go with all my navy clothes too! These were £9.99 reduced to £7.50 with my voucher!



I've been looking for a comfy pair of black flats for wearing to work for a while! I need something with a substantial sole as I stand for up to 6 hours at a time on a tiled floor which is a killer on my feet! New look have definitely made lots of improvements to the soles on their shoes for A/W as these have a much thicker sole than they used to! These are just basic flats but they will be perfect for work and with 25% off, I got these for just £6! Bargain!



And finally, I found these colourful studs in the jewellery section. I've had my ears pierced 4 times but I can never find any plain studs to wear so I only ever wear one set of earrings at a time. However these will mean I can wear more now! I couldn't believe how cheap these were! They look much more expensive than they were. And with 25% I only paid £2.99 for them!

So if you have seen anything you like in new look, print off the following voucher and you can claim 25% off like me!! Hurry though, it is only valid for a few more days!

Friends and Family 25% off Voucher- Valid Until 24th September

New Running Shoes!

So recently I've started running. I'm going to New York in january and my partner and I decided we wanted to lose a bit of weight and get fitter before we go.

So obviously I used this new hobby as an excuse to go shopping!

These beautiful babies are my latest purchase. Because I have such small feet, I managed to get these from the Kids section (hehe!)

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="487"] Nike Flex Running Trainers <3[/caption]

They were £27.99 from Sports direct which I consider a bargain for the pair of Nike trainers! They go up to a size 5.5 so if, like me, you have small feet, be sure to check out the kids section before spending £65 on a similar pair!

Obviously I wouldn't be recommending them if I hadn't tried them out first and I have to say they are very comfy! They are also lightweight and it feels like they have a spring in them when you run! A nice change for me since my last running shoes were so clumpy!

I give these 5 stars!

Primark Haul!

So after the generosity of all my lovely family and friends, I had lots of vouchers and birthday money to spend.
This is the first lot of things I picked up on my shopping trip to primark this week.

Maxi skirt £10
Cardigan £4.90
Satchel £9
Shoes £6

As I've said before, I'm in love with the colour orange just now which you can clearly see from my latest maxi skirt purchase. And the cardigan goes perfect with it which is an added bonus.
I've been after a satchel for a while now too, but I didn't want to spend too much so this £9 one was exactly what I wanted. Hopefully it will b strong enough to hold my ipad and books when I go back to uni!
And the cute studded shoes are just another pair of shoes for my work. They are actually quite comfortable too!
