Where them girls at??

I am shattered from Holly's hen weekend- all this week's posts (bar this and le Blog Stalker) will be about the hen weekend. Was fab to see Holly so happy and hyper all weekend, and her dreams came true... haha. I'll share the video with you all next week.

Thought I'd do a sneaky outfit of the day post from the other week when I was out with Kayleigh in good old Dirrrrrty Duzza. I love this dress, its one of those dresses that you can wear time and time again and it never looks dated. Its the grey version of the blue CiCi for Topshop dress I wore on my holidays (see here). You can always find these on ebay if you want one- dirt cheap too. Not impressed with my tan here- the flash has totally washed it out (St Tropez top half of body, He-Shi dark mousse on legs- don't ask but it works).

Grey dress- CiCi for Topshop.

Studded double wrap belt- Topshop.

Chanel XL Jumbo

Asos Watch.

Leopard Print Heels- New Look.

An outfit of the day post wouldn't be the same without me posing in my usual spot in Buddha...

Just chilling out with the Fat Buddhas.

Nosey Nosey

4.30 can't come quick enough, this week has dragged and then kinda flown over. Just bought the most lush pair of heels ever on my lunch, will post them next week sometime. I've collected everything clothes wise I've bought over the last month to do one massive collective haul post for you.

Far too excited for Monday to see the mighty 4 piece that is TAKE THAT with the has been Plobbie there for the craic too. Still no babyJEM, J is well and truely fed up now and everything she tries to kick start labour isn't happening- my money is she gives birth on Monday.

So last Saturday night, or as it should now be named as "The night Ray went down like a sack of spuds" I was out causing scences (whats new there) and I thought I would do a quick whats in my bag post. I've got an outfit post and some random pictures of the night too but I haven't had time in sorting my camera out, so that will be up next week sometime??

First up- the bag.. 

Chanel M/L Flap in Caviar Leather with SHW.

I actually use this bag as a clutch and then later on in the night when I'm dancing away have this over my shoulder. For some reason the bag looks tiny when photographed but it is actually a canny good size.

The junk in my trunk...

This is how I have to strategically place my things in the bag. Plenty of room left for the old blackberry.

The bare essentuals I need for a night out...

Camera

Comb

Chewing Gum

Boob Tape (you never know when it may come in handy)

Mac Lipstick in Hue

Mac Eyeshadow- Shadow Lady (strongly recommend this if you have green eyes- review to come soon)

One by One Mascara- love love love this.

Models Own Eyeshadow brush- never take my Mac ones out after I left my 219 brush in the loos in Buddha :(

Blackberry

What items can you never go out with?? Let me know if you've done any of these posts and link me up below (I'm nosey thats all)

Have a fab bank holiday weekend regardless of the shitty weather forcast xx

Haiiiiiiiiiiiii Mortal

So Bank Holiday Sunday involved a rather large amount of pasoa and lemonade and plenty of fat buddha cocktails. Topped off with some posing in the world's biggest loos ever in the world's smallest bar- Fabios with Holly. All in the purpose of some outfit posts. I am not feeling my double chin on my picture (blame the easter eggs), and yes I like to pose in front of the loo, and also I have been knowing to stand and pose on the ledge on the back of the loo. Thats just how I roll cause I am cool haha. Also was fab to catch up with the lovely Adele too!!

Onto the outfits...

Holly.

Dress- TFNC at House of Fraser (you can also get it in a raspberry colour)

Shoes- New Look.

Holly also had a lush cream bag to go with this but she flung it across the floor.

Raquelle.

Dress/Belt- Zara

Bag- Chanel.

Watch- Asos

Shoes- Topshop

Trying not to laugh/look serious- priceless.

This is the colour my hair goes with the revlon nutri color creme (I got mine from here). Thats the last of my holiday tan- the fake tan will be out for this weekend!!

Shhhhhh its a Chanel secret

Do you want to know a secret?? Keep this hush hush but on Saturday I am going to buy a new Chanel bag (sneaky sneaky).

I love that episode of Sex and The City when Charlotte and Anthony go shopping to Chanel and when the guards on the door say "good morning Chanel" he responds with "Chanello". Everytime I pass a Chanel counter I secretly say that to myself.

I am lucky enough to own two Chanel bags- these are my treats for having a proper "grown up" job.

Anyway check out my babies

XL Jumbo Caviar Flap with GHW and Medium Caviar Flap with SHW.

Double flap inside- can be a pain when your phone is ringing, and you have your hands full. The XL Jumbos and Maxi flaps are also going to be getting double flaps very soon. Not happy about that.

Not much room inside- this is normally used as a going out bag. Can fit quite a lot in here.

It actually looks small on here for some reason- its bigger when you see it in person (honest).

This is normally my shopping bag- never use it for work. Although depending on the outfit I will take it out with me on a night out.

Its quite roomy inside. Also this is the only flap bag which the chains are next to each other. In the other bags they are vertical. The Jumbo and Maxi as roomy as this will soon be no more, with the stupid double flap being put in. If you want a Chanel bag like this, I would recommend getting one now before they introduce the double flap.

Finally one of them standing up- there is quite a diffence in size. Love how my Jumbo is the new less rigid caviar and its more of a ghetto gold.

So those are my babies- hope you like them xxx

P.S- just a quick note, if anyone steals these pictures of my bags I will hunt you down and beat you with a stick..

I throw my hands into the air sometimes.....

mango margaritas, subway and maccy d's, random bars,  Gagaloo, the random man in Leeds aka THE WORLDS GREATEST DANCER, bit of Chanel, Nandos, birthday present to the bestie, and random nail polishes on my birthday.

The randomness makes me smile x

Addicted to Chanel!!!

Hello, my name is Ray and I am a Chanel-aholic *waves hand*.

I'm not afraid to admit that I have an obsession, addiction, need, want, for Chanel. I honestly can't get enough. What I want a get.... within reason lol.

I am blessed to have two Chanel bags in my collection- a black medium caviar flap with shw, and a black xl jumbo caviar flap with ghw (that involved a mission to London- will tell you all about that another time). Many people say I am mad to part with £1500+ on a single handbag, but I have always said since I was 18 that I wanted a Chanel bag, and last year I purchased my Medium flap in Manchester.

Now at the time, I said that would be it... NO MORE CHANEL...

A week after getting it, I wanted another one.. typical or what. So in June I travelled to London with JEM and purchased my Jumbo. Yet again I thought this would be the last bag, after spending most of my mortgage deposit on it - however there was a major price increase on the 1st July (thats my excuse for it).

However.... my need for Chanel is taking over me once again... I now would like a wallet on a chain or WOC to me and you, and as I am off to Manchester next month, it would be rude not to stop into Chanel.

This is what I want....

How pretty!!!

A massive thank you to Jenita143 @ tPF for letting me use her picture of her WOC xxx
