Christmas time (sorry for the delay!!!!!)

I'm bored of Winter now. Bring on the Summer.

Ok, so I finally sourced my camera, memory card and card reader so I can post about my Christmas presents.... However, it's so embarrassingly late that I'm going to call it a post on my New Year's present. (Don't tell!)

I had a very clothes and jewellery-orientated Christmas New Year, and I love them all! Mostly because they were all complete surprises.

Firstly, I got a Thomas Sabo charm bracelet with some laaavely charms. I don't have an actual picture, but this is the exact same bracelet with all the same charms.
Next up some gorgeous brogues, from Oasis. They go really well with my heart tights in my opinion, as a contrast between girlyness and masculinity.


FINALLY my beautiful new watch! It's a Toy Watch and this was the biggest surprise because I literally had no idea that I was even going to get a watch, let alone a Toy Watch that I've been lusting over for yeaaaaars.














I also got some floral tights, a ring and some floral pumps from my friends :D


I also got some interesting make-up. It's glittery! As you may be able to see, it's hard for precision but this was New Year's Eve so I thought I'd go out with it like this :)


Ooh ooh also my aunt and uncle got this amazing hat from River Island for me for Christmas, which due to the snow I wore A LOT.

I've got sooo much more to say, but I'll leave it for another day! Bye for now :) xxx

very, very, very niiice

I know I have a mild (ok, more than mild) obsession with Fearne Cotton but I can't help it: I love her rock, vintage style. Also, I love how she's made it big without being stunningly beautiful.
Anyway, when I first heard about her clothing line on Very some time last year I was reaaally excited! And rightly so, because there are so many gorgeous things ! And it's not even too expensive. Here's some of the new collection.
A simple bag that still makes a statement, thanks to the tassels. And I love love love grey at the moment (as boring as that is!) It's £25, so buy now!


This is a gorgeous vintage-style dress, and I love the collar on this one! Unfortunately, at £59 it's just out of my price range, but it's sooo worth the slight splurge.



These jeans will REALLY not suit me: the colour's too light, and the rips and studs will highlight all the wrong parts of my legs, but I can't help loving them. So brilliantly grungey! These would look great with a fancy top, or maybe something floaty and floral to balance out the grunge. £35.


I really like brogues: I got a pair of black ones for Christmas and I wear them all the time, because they just look great with pretty much everything! White ones may not be quite as practical, but they'll look good in summer as well with lovely floaty summer dresses.



What I like the most about this unicorn t-shirt is what Very describes as 'burnt out jersey', which is one of my current fashion fetishes! £20


This beanie looks great on Fearne, and it really does suit loads of hairstyles. It's such a vibrant colour as well, so it's perfect for the transition from Winter to Spring and it's only £14!


And while we're on the subject of clothes (not sure what else I'd be talking about!) I'm going to Egypt this half term (in about 3 weeks) and it's a Muslim country, so I'll be needed a maxi dress. Hmmm not a good look for an extremely short person, and also due to the whole snow situation, not many stores have stocked up on their summer dresses! So far, my favourite is this lovely number from Miss Selfridge for £38, because of the gold embellishments at the top and bottom. However, ideally I'm looking for something a bit cheaper. So if any of you know a less mainstream shop that might have some beauties please let me know! Thanks, love you all! xxx
