Oakheart...

Firstly, I finished panto on Saturday for the year! Yay etc...I had a very eventful, fun tour, but I'm glad it's over, I was shattered. In celebration of this I went out to meet my two bessies for a drink and a dance. I discovered another dark rum I love...Bacardi Oakheart. It's quite sweet, but lovely, it may take over from Sailor Jerry's for a while, who knows?! I also wore my new skirt and managed to take a couple of photos before I left so I can do an outfit post. Finally.



Crop top-Topshop (old), Skirt-Miss Selfridge, Jewellery-Topshop, Pandora and ChloBo.


I love my Topshop earcuff, adds something a bit more interesting when I've got my hair up.



So, there it is. My first actual outfit post. Hope it's sufficent. I had a fabulous gig with The Pin Ups last night at The Best of Broad Street Awards and today we're off to Blackpool. I seriously need to get packing! More opportunities for some outfit posts near the tower. Happy Tuesday xx

Resolution...

I think I may have actually taken the title of worst blogger ever for the month of December in 2011, NOT ONE POST!! Shocking. Have no fear though, my new years resolution was to blog more and better.
So, I'm going to post about my excellent little holiday I've just had for new years eve in St. Ives, Cornwall. My friends parents have just bought a cottage down there and before they do it up they let us have a fun few days/party there! So much fun. St. Ive's comes to life on new years eve, it was like one massive street party with fireworks at midnight and everyone's in fancy dress...except us. I made friends with a pirate, a man in an all in one, all the King's horses and all the King's men. The town in the day is so beautiful aswell, pasties galore, cream teas, beautiful sand and lots of seagulls...perfect little English seaside. I want to retire there.
On new years eve we didn't get majorly dressed up as we knew we'd be out on the streets at midnight but I did wear my new rather wonderful leopard print dress from Topshop. It's long at the back and short at the front, a design I'm becoming slightly obsessed with recently. I also wore my bargain boots from River Island which were £20 in the sale, so I had to buy them!





I've also taken to wearing various long necklaces with crosses on recently. Topshop and Miss Selfridge have a great collection and they just make any soft dress look a bit more edgy. This is the one I'm wearing in the top picture from Topshop...



I love the little tag thing that hangs from it too. When I was taking my little midnight dip in the sea I wore my trusty silver jumper from h&m, leather jacket and the best fur collar ever from h&m about 5 years ago. Every girl needs the perfect fur collar in the winter. There's only one other thing I'm really lusting after at the moment and that's some metallic jeans! Rumi Neeley always seems to have amazing pairs and I'm determined to find the perfect pair of silver ones. I've been tipped off that Zara has a few pairs in and of course I'll have a look in good old Toppers. When I find the them they'll have a whole post to themselves.
Well, I think that'll do it for now. I need to get better at taking outfit photos and posting them which is hard when your camera's pretty rubbish so bear with me. I'll leave you with a photo of me at my happiest...by the sea, full of roast dinner with my bestie on new years day....Happy New Year xx

She just lights up my world...

So my obsession with Yasmin continues. She released the video for 'Light up the World' with Shy FX and Ms Dynamite and it's PERFECT. Every look in the video is amazing, the hair, clothes, make up and the feel of the video fits the song so well. Really uplifting and chilled. I want the bright bomber jacket and pink lipstick so bad. Can't believe it's took me until now to blog it, it's been out like a week! Enjoy, I know I do...x

I'm a Belieber?!

I never thought this day would come, but like me eating too much at Christmas it was inevitable....I think I have a soft spot for Justin Bieber. I just checked out his freestyle to 'Otis' because so many people have been chatting about it and....he kills it! He even wacks in a line about Saved By The Bell, which actually makes me think he didn't write it because surely he's too young to remember that?! Either way to rap like that live on air is pretty damn impressive and I like his hat. So, my love for young boys goes on...enjoy...x




P.S. The amount of swag he has these days has also convinced me that he's definatley not a virgin anymore but I don't think he's desperate enough to have slept with a fan on tour.

NAILed it.

I have a new nail obsession. First it was Chanel Rouge Noir, then Barry M crackle effect and now it's the Models Own/Wah nails nail art pen. I am thoroughly enjoying a nice bright colour as the base and then drawing some crazy pattern on the top. I need some ideas on what else I can draw on them though now! I keep visiting the Wah Nails website for inspiration, but they're all a bit hard and I would also need the pen in other colours...Models Own if you're listening that would be an excellent idea. When I am over this trend I think I'll move on to the magnetic nail polish No.7 are doing, that looks pretty amazing but I'm still hooked on this for now. Here's my leopard print and aztec designs, will post any more I come up with. Said to say bye to the heatwave, but my legs got another few days out in the sunshine before they're banished under tights for the winter, hoorah! x

Maxed out.

Serious love for maxi skirts this winter, floaty ones, heavy ones, bright ones, black ones but all teamed with my trusty leather jacket. It may even take over from tights and denim shorts as my favourite winter look, shock horror.


This is the amazing mint green American Apparell number I have spoken about and my lovely friend Lucy (in the middle) is wearing a Topshop navy blue number that crosses over and rises at the front.  I will be borrowing.
I ran away to my Mom's again this weekend and got treated to a gorgeous leopard print shirt form...wait for it...New Look! This is said shirt...

Black Pattern (Black) Contrast Placket Animal Shirt | 228419609 | New Look

Afraid I'll be teaming this with the faithful black tights and high waisted shorts and no doubt my converse.
Enjoy the errrrrr heatwave everyone :s

Added extras.

I totally lost my mind and forgot to blog two things. First and foremost Labrinth's new absolute banger of a tune 'Earthquake'. I am in love with this guy, so freakin' talented. He produces, plays, writes, sings everything. A true artist. Get listening, like NOW...


Also, shooooooooes. Rumi Neely blooged these Burberry creepers and I adore them. If only I could learn to save money and buy myself amazing treats like these or find a sugar daddy that could buy them for me, either way would be fine.
