I need to freeze my bank cards!!!

Everyone knows we're all skint come January so why do retailers insist on slashing prices, teasing me with there so cheap it's almost free bargains??

Aarghhh!!

I've been needing to go back to John Lewis to take links out of my new Michael Kors watch - i know, i know but i couldn't resist and purple is my favourite colour.

Just look how pretty it is?

I'm planning on making this my day wear watch and keeping the gold MK for nights out etc. Plus the gold MK was seriously weighing me down!!

Also picked a gorgeous Mango skirt in the sale, not usually my shop of choice and i think this is my first ever purchase but pattern is so beautiful.

Ahh - i see it's hard to tell here but it has a slight leopard print with grey and purple tones. I'll have to do a close-up another day but as you can see i was taking advantage of the changing rooms and full length mirror. Luckily my Faith shoes complemented the skirt perfectly.

The jumper was what i was already wearing and is from Next's Signature range £20 reduced from £40 in the sale, they didn't have my size left so i got a size 12 hence why i am holding it tight at the back! I wouldn't really wear the skirt and jumper together but was doing a improv OOTD. If anyone watches Live from Studio Five, you might have seen Jenny Frost last week wearing the jumper as well!

This was my actual OOTD from Saturday's shopping trip.

Jumper - Next
Jeggings - Dorothy Perkins
Scarf - H&M (it's actually a sarong but who cares - reminds me of Louis Vuitton's)
Shoes - Faith

Make-wise i all over lipstick at the moment especially red's as they're so long-lasting and believe it or not, not too high-maintenance. Recently I've been wearing my hair up as I'm trying to grow out the blunt fringe hence the quiff. I'm wanting long bangs that i can flick out a bit like Charlie's Angels Farrah Fawcett.

This is what I'm aiming for:

I have serious girl-envy - Emanuela de Paula manages to pull of being seductive, mysterious, sexy so easily Her hair always looks A-MAZ-ING!!!

I'm also coveting Cheryl Cole's effortless waves here as well:

Oh-la-la bit of a cheeky pic here!






Watches galore

I am officially in love and his name is Michael.

I have a Michael Kors gold watch!!!

I eventually decided on the Michael Kors after dragging my mum around all the jewellers in town. Before, i was torn between the Kors or a ToyWatch, but i couldn't find the shop that sold the ToyWatch so Kors it was, and even that was hard to find only Debenhams or John Lewis had them in stock. There were quite a few i liked but i settled on a MK5166.

I'm so gutted though, as in my excited haste to buy and not to mention the bright shop lights dazzling me, i failed to notice that there are 2 crystals missing! Only found out when i got it home so now i need to take it back. The only problem being is that it was the last one in the shop and i didn't even get a discount but then i never asked! I've spoken to customer services who weren't really that helpful, you would think that because they have sold me a faulty item, they could have one delivered to the store waiting for me to exchange? But no, i can get it delivered to the store but only if i pay for it upfront online - great -so I'm going to have fork out another £199. Lets hope the new one is perfect. I do love it though, my mum said i should have gone with one without the crystals in case they fall out again, but i do love a little bit of bling. 

Now I've found Michael i think i could be faithful to him for life as i also love this white chronograph too, definitely on a wish-list to buy.

This is like a matte off-white and would look really good with a tan, i think it also came in different colours like lilac so very fashionable for now.

Anyway like i said before, now i've got the expensive gold watch i was going to get a cheap plastic watch for casual wear and i have found the best Chanel J12 lookalike at Argos!

The Sekonda on the left in white versus the Chanel J12 in white!

And again in black, Sekonda on the left and Chanel J12 on the right - amazing!

At only £19.99 i'm going to get both colours.

It's my birthday and i'll cry if i want to!

Hooray! I have reached the grand ol' age of 24 - cue whoop whoops! I really wanted the Chanel 2.55 below, but looks like I may have to wait until I'm 30 or even 40 or 50 for one of those bad boys! 


1. Coco Chanel 2.55 - always top of the list! If I ever win the lottery or get my dream job this will my first purchase - in the words of a Geordie, cannae wait man!

I'm thinking I'm needing a new watch and I'm deliberating between the Michael Kors Gold Watch or a Black ToyWatch - decisions, decisions.  I think the Kors is winning slightly but reserving judgement until I see the ToyWatch in the flesh. 

Or cunning thought I buy the Kors (around £150) and i can buy a cheaper plastic black watch that i can wear for day - thinking Next, River Island or even god forbid I've heard Argos sell them - eek, let's hope it's not Elizabeth Duke!
