Well I never.....

... Its like wearing your Uggs on your head.



Sheepskin Hat £50 at ASOS.

I'm getting this bad boy ordered- stat!!!

The cold weather is en route...

... well to be honest I think its already Winter here in the North East. Freezing, wet and windy.

I have noticed in my wardrobe there is small space... a small space which needs filling. Now before any sarcastic comments (my finger is pointing at you JEM) that I can't get any more clothes into my 2 wardrobes and 2 sets of drawers.. this small space has a purpose.

Its the sign I need to purchase a FUR COAT (faux of course)- its the perfect Autumn/Winter staple. I will be wearing it on nights out, shopping trips, walks, the list goes on and on. I think I'm just making up reasons why I should buy one.

Here are my favourites from the High Street.




Top- Topshop Patchy Box Coat £80, French Connection Laura Fur Coat £120 (my fav).
Bottom- French Connection Leopard Love Jacket £120, Warehouse (at ASOS) Featherey Coat £65.


What's your favourite?? xxx

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

A little something from me to you

Those who follow me on Twitter will know that I have said that when I reach 50 followers on here, as a thank you I will be doing a give away.

Well actually it will be 51 followers, as JEM is a follower and she isn't getting entered into the draw (sorry JEM, harsh but fair).

Anyway, the prize will be some random bits and bobs of things which I like, and things which I can't live without. Once I get a box to put everything in I will post a picture- promise.

So to be in with a chance of winning some goodies, all what you need to do is be one of the first 50 (minus JEM) followers. As soon as I hit 50 I will do the draw.

£29 It Dress

I don't know if its me- but for some reason on a night out I have to wear a dress. I don't feel "dressed" if i'm not wearing a dress. Strange I know, so every time before a night out I have the major panic of "having nothing to wear". Now considering I have a wardobe dedicated to going out clothes- I don't have anything to wear haha.

I always think this time of year is a bit funny for finding nice going out dresses which aren't too summery or xmas party dresses. Now with my dresses- bar the very special ones- I like to have the opportunity to be able to pair them with tights and a blazer/leather jacket.

Motel is one of those makes which to be honest with you, I always think looks nice in magazines, but when you see it in person the quality is a bit rubbish/looks cheap/poorly made. Now my thoughts may be changed after seeing a piece in Look magazine about their £29 wanda dresses.

Basically its strapless tulip dress which comes in about 6 different patterns, and if you join the website you can get £10 off.

These are my 2 personal favs- I love Animal print and how season after season its always in for A/W (blog post to be done on that later), and the feather print can tie me over both S/S and A/W. Check out www.motelrocks.com for more details.

NOTD- Models Own Misty Grey

One more day at work, then its the weekend.

As the majority of you are aware Models Own had a 50% off sale the other week. One of the polishes I got was their Misty Grey, as I have been looking for the perfect light grey.

This has to be one of my favourite colours- what was my life like before this haha.

As you can tell by the pictures its a very light grey, in some lights it actually looks a bit like duckegg blue. All what it took was two coats, one was actually enough, but out of habit I did two. The polish went on thick, but thats the way I personally like my polishes to be.

Pictures are a bit rubbish as they're off my blackberry.



Now this is the best bit.... these pictures were taken on Sunday. Now between then and now, I have not touched my nails up, or used a topcoat, and I'm typing on a computer for most of the day.

These are my nails today- its hasn't chipped and there is very little tip wear neither!! I love it.



Going to be doing a giveaway soon- keep your eyes peeled xxx
