BLING AND BUY GIVEAWAY!!!

Ok, so I'm always posting about love hearts and crosses, and I've now found out that they're part of the amazing bling and buy giveaway! to enter the competition, all you have to do is go here and comment saying your favourite items from the companies involved in the giveaway! Hmmmmm so much choice! It was hard to decide but i think my three favourites are:
1) the gorgeous new tea and cake charm bracelet from funkyjunkjewellery (http://www.funkyjunkjewellery.com/epages/es109911.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es109911_shop/Products/DSCF0056.4)
2) secondly, these cute owl earrings from love hearts and crosses http://www.funkyjunkjewellery.com/epages/es109911.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es109911_shop/Products/DSCF0056.4 i've had my eye on these for a while :D
3) finally I adore this gold 'love' necklace from temporary secretary, just like the keyring in sex and the city! The heart charm makes it extra special :) http://temporarysecretary.bigcartel.com/product/huge-love-necklace
That was my entry there :) i'm hopeful, but because I am a generous person I'm passing the message on to you guys :) good luck!

Documenting my outfits :)

Ok, so down to the fact I now have two beautiful but INSANE kittens, pictured here, I've been getting behind on the pictures a bit. So, here they are! Firstly, is my new h&m skirt. I loved this when I first saw it, and bought it the second I'd saved enough money (it's only £10!), secondly is an outfit inspired by Fearne Cotton, who I spotted in a magazine wearing a combination of stripes and florals that worked perfectly. Obviously, my version hasn't worked quite as well, but I'd imagine mine cost a lot less :L the top is from gap, and the dress is from mama san, a Brighton shop which, usefully, also has an online site. Also, I didn't notice until just know that Fearne is wearing hers with boots quite similar to mine :) Thirdly is a quick shot showing you my beret, and finally is my favourite new outfit! I love how 80s it is: the skirt I got from American Apparel last year, the crop top is from Topshop, and the spotty shoes I bought from a Camper outlet in Majorca three years ago and just rediscovered: this is the first time I wore them ever! They rub A LOT, but I think with this outfit it's worth it :) WOW long post :D

i <3 sales

I love all sales, but I've always hated the way the beautiful clothes in the end of summer sales are useless for around 9 months, ie until next summer. That's why the mid season sales are my favourite :)

Sale items by xoxoelliexoxo featuring Miss Selfridge

I noticed with my last polyvore set that it was a wee bit too small, so if anyone has any queries about where to find the items feel free to comment asking.

New look :D

What do you think? Decided it was time for a new look, but unfortunately it seems to have messed up the font a bit.. Anyway, recently I've been really wanting to go back to Paris. I would say that it is my favourite place to go IN THE WORLD. Apparently there's something called a recession, so I'm having to postpone the begging my parents until next year. So, i decided that the next best thing would be a polyvore set :D

Je t'aime, paris by xoxoelliexoxo featuring Yumi

tell me what you think :) the ballet shoes i LOVE and am definitely going to buy, i already have a grey beret (in my opinion better than this one, but it's from a Brighton shop), and i adore the Urban Outfitters wallet, but at £24 it's a wee bit out of my price range. I think I may wait until it goes in the sale.....

ahem...

ok, so i hadnt actually finished the last post before publishing it..... basically i was excited for two reasons: one is that i've now discovered rokit.co.uk , an amazing vintage online store which i LOVE, and two because a beyond retro store has opened in brighton! i'll be checking it out as soon as i get the chance and uploading pictures :D i bet you can't wait :) the picture above is off an item from rokit which i love, i actually need to quench my thirst for tartan (ok, freaky metaphor) and this would do the trick perfectly :) hmmmm £50 though.... NEED MORE MONEY :(

OK.... majorly excited!!

so, i'd love to have more vintage clothes but, despite being considered as, like, one of the most fashionable cities in england, brighton is reasonably lackluster when it comes to charity shop finds: generally it's limited to size 22 clothes, harry potter novels and old man shoes, ie rubbish stuff. also, i'm sadly not one of those people who can just wear anything vintage, no matter how long or big for them, and look amazing in it. on me it tends to look awful... probably due to the fact my body has an actual shape, and i'm the same size as most 12 year olds. anyway, i think i may give up with this whole blogging thing, cos i have like one follower (hi, by the way (: )

Finallyyyyyy!

Ok, for ages I've been searching for the perfect jeans: they have to be distressed with rips, skinny and not designed just for,like, sticks. I'd given up, but then.... HALLELUJAH i found some absolutely perfect ones! hmmm, they appear to be £40. dilemma.... i'll have to save up :D ideally, they'd be slightly acid washed as well, but i realise that my legs will just look like two big fat denim sausages in them then, so i've had to let go of that dream. However, these ones are pretty darn great :)

OH YEAH also before i forget, that stuff i ordered from this charming girl? yeah, i got an email a week after i placed the order, telling me that the items i'd ordered where actually out of stock. yup, both of them. so not great really :L
