Hey Guys. So I fell off the blog challenge bandwagon yesterday! I have a good excuse though! It was my last exam and we all went out after to celebrate! I'm back today with my favourite picks from the New Look sale which started today! 

Top £8

I'm loving baseball tops just now. I've had my eye on this one for a while so I may just have to purchase it now it's in the sale!

Jeggings £5

These are a bargain! And I practically live in jeggings so I have to have these!

Tee £4

Uhoh, the cat theme is back! This is so cute :)

Jeggings £10 

I have the lighter version of these and they are great! 

Vest £5

I love monochrome so this is perfect for me!

Dress £10

I have an interview tomorrow for some legal work experience. If i get the job I will definitely be purchasing this!

Have you picked up any bargains in the new look sale?

Passion Projects #BEDM

Hello everyone! Today's topic is passion projects- what do you love and would love to make money from?
I've loved fashion from a very young age. I used to love picking out all my outfits and posing for photos!

This was me aged 4 in a very well matched up outfit! haha!

So of course, I'd love to make money from fashion! I know it is such a competitive market though, and the chances are highly unlikely! Of course, It's possible that I could eventually turn this blog into a job! 

At one point, I wanted writing about fashion to be my job! I started a journalism degree in 2010 but I found it was aimed more at people who wanted to write for newspapers, which wasn't what I wanted to do! So I switched to doing a Law degree (strange choice I know!) I'm now nearing the end of my degree and trying to work out what I want for the future! For now, I'll continue writing my blog, and who knows, maybe one day someone important will see this and I'll become a huge fashion journalist! ha ha!

Cinco De Mayo. Taco Pizza Recipe #BEDM

Hello everyone! As it is Cinco De Mayo today, I've got a little mexican themed post for everyone!
This is a little recipe that my auntie shared with me recently and I have to say it is one of my favourite things to make.

Ingredients

• 1 lb. Mince (I used steak mince on this occassion)
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 2 tbsp water
• 8 small fajita sized flour tortillas
• cooking oil
• 1 cup shredded cheese (I used mozzarella on this occasion)
• Tomato Puree
• ¼ cup chopped onion
• 1 chopped pepper
• sour cream

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees
2. Brown beef in a pan until fully cooked. Drain off any grease.
3. Add taco seasoning, onion, pepper and water to beef and cook for a few minutes. Set aside.
4. Brush both sides of the tortillas with oil and place on a baking sheet.
5. Bake tortillas for 2 minutes at 180 degrees. Turn tortillas and bake for 2 more minutes.
6. Spread the prepared mince over the tortilla to be used as the base. Top each with one of the remaining tortillas. 
7. Spread tomato puree and grated cheese over the top tortilla
8. Place under the broiler until the cheese is melted.
9. Slice each pizza into 4 slices and top with a spoonful of sour cream to serve. Serves 4.

Yummmmmmy! I really enjoyed making (and eating) these! And they were so simple to make! 

Let me know if you attempt to make these!

TheSundayPost #BEDM

Okay so I have been naughty and deviated away from today's blog challenge topic! It was talk about sci-fi and I honestly know nothing about it and I don't watch any at all. So I decided to use the opportunity to do a little update on my week!

1- On Thursday night we went to a debate about the independence referendum which is happening in Scotland later this year. It was very interesting (sad I know!) but I'm still undecided on how I'm going to vote. On the way home we grabbed a McDonalds because we hadn't eaten and it was very late! Mmm banana milkshake! 

2- I've been waiting forever for this ring and it finally arrived! I love it! No-one understands the meaning of it but it's simba from the lion king obviously! I love the lion king! 

3- I'm right in the middle of my uni exams just now so coffee is my best friend. I found this coffee by beanies in Sainsbury's. It is delicious. They also make irish cream and vanilla flavoured coffee which I am going to pick up when I do my weekly shop on Wednesday. 

4- 2 weeks today until I jet off to the sun for a week! This was the weather in Alvor, Portugal on Friday! Fingers and toes crossed it stays like this for me! 

5- This pretty much sums up my weekend. So much stress, so many difficult people! 

6- I was playing on that status generator thing on Facebook (typical student procrastination) and it gave me this. I giggled at it for a while. This is me every Saturday and Sunday when I get up at silly o' clock for work! Although I don't wake up on the ground haha! 

So that is pretty much it for this week. I've been studying hard all week so I've had no time for fun :( My last exam is on wednesday so hopefully next week this post will be more fun to write haha! 

Have a lovely bank holiday monday tomorrow guys! Pity me whilst I'm stuck in my 3 hour long Tax Law exam!

My Weekend Morning Routine! #BEDM

Hello Everyone!
Unfortunately for me, I don't get weekends! I work both a Saturday and a Sunday! (I don't work Mon-Fri though). Therefore my weekend morning routine is very dull.
I do the same shift both days which is 7am until 4pm. So here is my routine every weekend!

5.45am:
This is when I get up to start getting ready. I have my coffee machine all set up so all I need to do is press the on button! Whilst my coffee is brewing, I have a quick wash, tie my hair up (uniform rules!) and put on minimal make up (also uniform rules!)
I then enjoy my coffee (milk and 2 sugars!) whilst I check twitter, facebook, blog comments and any emails!
Then I put my uniform on and get ready to leave!

6.30am:
I usually enjoy a cheeky cigarette (bad habit I know!) on the way to my car. It takes roughly 20 minutes to get from my house to work, during which time, I enjoy a little sing song in the car, as well as concentrating on the road of course!

7am:
I clock in, put my stuff in my locker and head downstairs to start work.
My main task in the mornings is to go around my whole department, making sure every product is priced correctly and in the right place. This usually takes about 2-3 hours every morning.

9.30am:
This is my breakfast break time! I usually grab a roll or a fruit salad and enjoy it in the canteen with a cup of fruit juice.

10am:
Back to work time! After I've done my pricing check, I do the cleaning, serve any customers and fill any gaps on the shelves until about 12.30pm when I take my lunch break.

So that's my very boring weekend morning routine! This probably explains why I never post new blog posts at the weekend too! I'm usually knackered by 4pm ha ha!
I'd love to see your posts on this 3rd day of the blog every day in may challenge!

My 5 Favourite Posts #BEDM

Happy Friday everyone!
Today's blog topic is 'My 5 favourite posts'.
This was quite hard to choose as I've enjoyed writing all of my posts! I don't see the point in blogging just for the sake of it so all my posts are written because I am passionate about the topic.
So I narrowed my decision down to these 5 posts!
1. Concrete Jungle where dreams are made: This was my all time favourite post by far! I saved up for over 18 months to make the trip to New York and I had the absolute time of my life! I've already started planning my next trip!
2. Meet Smudge: I really enjoyed introducing you all to my little fur baby. He means the world to me and It's important to me that he gets a little space on my blog!
3. Huge Spring/Summer Haul: I had such a great day shopping for this haul post! It's definitely my favourite haul post (and biggest)! I can't wait for my holiday to wear all my clothes!
4. Birthday Outfit: This was the outfit I wore for my 21st birthday party! This was a great night, despite a few very drunk people trying to ruin it for everyone! I love my hair in this post. Shame it's never sat this nice since haha!
5. Snow Fairy Review: Finally, my all time favourite shower gel! I really enjoyed using this product to review it. I've still got a little dribble left! I can't wait for October time when it goes back on sale, so I can stock up again!

So that's my 5 favourites! I'd love to see your 5 favourite posts, leave me links below :) xx

What is my blog about? #BEDM

Hey guys!
So today is the first day of the blog every day in May challenge and the topic is what is your blog about?
I don't really have a simple answer for this.
My blog started out as a place for me to document all my bargain fashion finds. As a student, I don't have much spare money so most of the stuff featured on my blog is from the high street!
As time has gone on, I've started including beauty posts, and more recently, lifestyle posts too!
My favourite post to do is still the good old haul posts but I'm working hard to make my blog more diverse!
If you have any tips on how I can improve my blog, both the way it looks and the content, I'd be happy to hear them!
