OOTN: Gothic Nights

Oh Hey Guys!

I know, I suck at being consistant on my blog but to be fair half the time I do ridiculous hours at work and the other half of the time I'm in a sleeping coma. However today I bring you a brand new post WOOOOO!

As you can tell from the title it is another outfit of the night, my last outfit post went down an absolute storm and so I figured whatever you guys enjoyed I would provide, so here goes nothing.

 So my sister gave me this dress as a hand me down about a year ago and it's been hiding in my wardrobe ever since. I thought I'd style it at the off chance that I do ever where it.

I'm not actually sure where she got it from but the intricate lace detail on the front and back of the dress make it feminine among the harsh black. It can be deemed as a very short but the longer back somehow manages to balance out the problem. I teamed this dress with a simple black and gold clutch bag from Dorothy Perkins, a steal at a tenner, and some simple black chunky heels from Primark.

Terrible photo I know but I always find it hard to take pictures of my make-up, anyway I tried to keep my face neutral with a neutral few eyeshadows from my Naked 3 Palette, a light contour and a little flicked eyeliner. The main vocal point of course is my lipstick which is the Kate Moss Lipstick in 107 making this outfit ever more gothic.


I hope you like the post guys and sorry to keep you waiting.

What's In My Bag? (Work Edition)

Oh Hey!

Sorry for the late upload I found myself in A&E on Wednesday night after suffering a head injury at work so I've just been resting to get ready for a 10 hour shift on Sunday. Anyway lets get on with it!

I love reading other peoples blog posts or Youtube videos on what's in there bag, I guess I am kind of nosey in that respect, so now I've decided to make my own. This is what is in my bag... work edition.

So the bag I am currently using for work is my Topshop Red Winged twist bag which they have since stopped selling. I was lucky enough to receive this from my parents for Christmas and I absolutely adore it. It is just a standard inside as well with a normal pocket and a mobile phone pouch, the lining is the same as the red on the outside.

Okay so here goes, from left to right!

Black Apron: So obviously seen as this is a work edition I have to have my apron on me, I work as a waitress for anyone who doesn't know and we can't actually work unless with have an apron on. Weird I know, but for anyone who wants to flaunt there body then you can pretty much tie the apron to accentuate your shape! (WORK)

Micros Clock In Card: Again a necessity for work, we have to have this every shift to clock in and out and to put through any orders. (WORK)

Black Umbrella: Simple, an umbrella in the UK is a must!!!! (PRIMARK)

Earphones: This is definitely a must have for me, I can't leave home without them. I can't physically sit on a bus in silence which is probably why I spend so much on Itunes! (APPLE)

Black Purse: I prefer these kind of purses because they aren't bulky and in case you need to swap your bag to something more compact then they won't need to be swapped either. (H&M)

Pink Tangle Teaser Hairbrush and hair ties: Okay so I think this is the kids version but I picked this up due to the fact that my hair has to be up for work so this and the hair ties come in handy. (BOOTS)

Selection of Cards: Bank Card, Discount Card etc.

Badge: Again a must have for work as much as I hate people knowing my name! (WORK)

Baby Lips: I actually love Peach Punch the best, it gives a nice sheen of colour on your lips and smells amazing.  (BOOTS)

Victoria Secret Spray: This is by far my favourite scent ever, its called angel and I constantly get compliments on how nice it smells!!! (VICTORIA SECRET)

Sample Size of Molton Brown Hand Cream: The smell isn't my favourite but after washing your hands hundreds of times in one night sometimes you need a hand pick me up and this does exactly that!! (BIRCHBOX)

Benefit Lip Gloss: This is just a nice pick me up when I want super shiny soft lips! (BENEFIT)

A pile of coins: Who doesn't need coins?!?

This is it!
What's in your bags?

Inspiration Blogger of the Week #3:

I have been a major fan of Sabrina for at least a year, not only is she an amazing blogger but she also has a youtube channel in which she creates videos on everything from hauls to tutorials. In fact her Youtube channel is what drew me into searching the web for her blog.

Now she hasn't posted much this year but her dedication to both her blog and her youtube channel is profound, not only that but she is down to earth and I've been particularly lucky for her to have tweeted me back (major fan girl moment trust me!)

Her tutorials are effortless and she combines not only high end products but manages to sneak in products on the cheaper scale in there, recently she created a Mila Kunis inspired make-up look using only Primark make-up from there new range. (click here to watch)

In general I cannot begin to explain and encourage you guys to check her out, her success along with her beauty (*crushing*) is on the up and I'll be privileged to watch her rise.

Mini Boohoo Haul FT. Outfit Ideas

Oh Hey!

So recently I was browsing the Boohoo website, as you do, and I came across this snazzy shift dress at a bargain £5 (apparently it has increased in price since the time I bought it). What did I do you ask? BUY IT! (and maybe a clutch to go with it... oops). Here's a few outfit ideas I put together with the dress and clutch.

So for a more dressy look I paired the dress and clutch with a pair of suede flatforms from Primark (a bargain at £12) you could also add a statement necklace if you feel particularly brave or just add red lips.

For a much more casual look I paired the dress and clutch with my pair of high top white converses (excuse the fact that they look grey, they may need washing). You could pair it with tights and a loose fitted blazer for a more slouchy appearance.

For the final look a more rock chick look I paired the dress and clutch with my heeled boots from New Look to give it a more edgy look. You could also pair it with a leather jacket and tights and backcombed hair.

Sorry about how short this post is, thought I'd quickly make it before work.

Little Haul

Recently I caught up with an old friend of mine and we went browsing around a shopping centre, which as you may have guessed by this post would have been to tempting for me. I picked up a few bits and bobs along the way, not like I'm saving for uni or anything. *note sarcasm*

Here is a quick overview, as you can see it wasn't a major blow-out but considering I didn't want to spend, it was a significant amount.

Skin care wise I decided to take advantage of the deal of Nivea face wipes, they were on offer for 3 for 2 so it was roughly £6 (some may deem that as expensive considering you can get them cheaper elsewhere, but I'd rather spend extra on my skin)

 As for the Origins purchase, the spot remover is something that is overly hyped up so I thought I'd jump on the band wagon and see if its worth the hype.

I needed a new bag to carry the endless amounts of stuff to work in and I stumbled  into this classy looking bag at Primark for a  bargain £10! Its cute with the reptile like textiles to make it simple and yet a classic piece, Primark tends to surprise me sometimes with the quality and price of such items.
My most expensive purchase was a pair of Topshop leggings/treggings in plain black, they follow the same style as the American Apparel Disco Pants. They have been on my wishlist for ages but I couldn't condone spending over £70 on them so these Topshop ones were a major discount from £25 reduced to £20!

Finally I had to pick up the latest edition of Cosmo, this wasnt for the free Orly nail varnish or for the leading lady Miley Cyrus but because I promised my best friend I would buy every months copy whilst she's at Uni. So Agnieszka this shout out is for you! x

Thats all for now guys!
