outfit tonightttt:)

Its my beautiful flatmates 21st birthday party tomororow night and we have rented out Cloud 23 in manchester for pre drinks:) Its quite a posh bar so I bought  new outfit for it!
Here is what i will be wearing!:

Dress : Aqua @Asos

I LOVE THIS DRESS!!! 
I was abit worried my boobs wouldnt fit in the size 8 but it fits so perfectly and is more of an elegant length than most mini dresses so i love it :) yay!
I was really unsure what shoes to buy because i wanted to have quite a plain glamourous look so bought these cheap heels from Garage Shoes for £24.99 (decievingly high even for me!). 
Ill only wear them a couple of times so there was no point spending a lot of money!
Ill hopefully post some pictures with me wearing it soon!
Have a good weekend guys:) x

Wish Me Luck!!!

 Striped Dress: River Island £30

So here is my dress im going to wear to my River Island Marketing Interview! I was really unsure wether to try to look really professional, or dress true to myself and show my personality. So I chose this midi dress which fits perfectly (size 8 for me) without looking skin tight and 'tarty'.  Its smart and simple, but also looks really cool and because its a stretch cotton, doesnt look too conservative!
Im going to be making my way to London tomorrow, staying the night and heading over to the Head Office on thursday for the interview and assessment! Fingers Crossed!
Im going to pair it up with a simple belt, my New Look shoes, tights, a chunky necklace and either a heavy knit cardigan or smart blazer. What do you guys think?!

Happy New Year

Hope everyone is feeling ok and not too rough! Saw alot of people this morning looking worse for wear (including my parents!) and felt so sorry for them! I managed to keep things steady last night so i dont feel too bad today, just sleeeepy:(

Overall, for me 2011 hasnt been very hopeful, Ive unfortunately had a very rough, complicated and exhausting year and I know that things arent going to look up immediately for me overnight, but im hoping in the long run 2012, I will get back on my feet and ill have some sort of luck as long as i work hard and stay positive. 

Ive come to realise (and dont think im a great philosopher or that im asking for sympathy), but that you really have to be selfish sometimes, and look after yourself, no matter how shit you feel. You cant rely on anyone else to make you feel better, Ive lost alot this year and have been through alot that someone my age, to be honest shouldnt have to go through so 2012 is really the year i will focus on myself and stick to my resolutions!

GOOD NEWS! I have an interview for a Marketing Placement for River Island in London:)
Im so determined to do well and get the place, which is a very very small chance haha! I have to do a presentation on 'how the company can use their marketing channels to increase their credibilities on the high street'...eek hah! I havent got long to prepare as its just over a week away! Fingers Crossed guys! Ill probably do a outfit post for my interview for you all:)

Speak soon:) x

new shoes:)

Bottom: Office (SALE:) )

Im so excited to wear these!! Wore the New Look ones today and they were suprisingly comfy, was very scared of falling to the floor but I managed:). 
Yeah... I know I already have some boots like the Office ones but i justified them because I wear the others so much! and they were only £40!  Was tempted to get them in a tan colour because for some reason they were only £25, but to be honest, I wear black constantly and I dont think I would wear the tan ones:( oh well!
Hope everyone has a cracking xmas!!! :D

who needs these fancy things!

Ive been wanting to try out those Babyliss hair 'wavers' for agggess and was umming and arring on wether to get them for xmas, HOWEVER, at the end of summer i learn a new trick with GHDs to get that beachy loose wave (not curls!).


Trick is....to tilt you straighteners back and forth really sharply as you go through your hair.
I slightly brush mine out and hairspray it, however if you leave it after doing this method, add some high shine serum, you get the 'hollywood' waves feel!
(sorry if everyone already knew about this and are like 'jesus shes slow!')
It really gives volume to your hair and I really like using this when my hair is slightly greasy and i dont want to wash it yet.
Speak soon!
(if anyone wants me to do a video tutorial on this then tell me and ill be happy to:) )

NOV new things

Here are a few things Ive bought this month! Been really busy applying for placements, and had many assignments in for last week, things have sort of f*cked up in my personal life aswell so blogging hasn't been at the top of my list, sorry!

I really didnt know about this piece, Ive been eyeing up a coat really like this in Zara but coudln't justify spending over a £100 when i already have a couple of coats!
HOWEVER this was only £55 in New Look,  WITH 50% off all coats AND I wangled another 20% off because there was a problem with the lining (which i easily fixed myself), so this came to around £21, a bargain i thought!

Topshop: £15
I saw this a couple of months ago at full price (I think around £28) and I ummed and arred about it but as soon as it was in the sale i snapped it up! 
Looks really good with a leather trou and wedges. (and my new necklace)

 Primark £8 
(yes another pencil skirt!)

 Zara: £22.99 (I think!)
You cant really see on the photo but this is one of those chiffon skirts thats long at the back short at the front.
My mum bought me this around a month ago for xmas, and when i went home she gave it to me early because she knew i would get some wear out of it before xmas. 
Looks great with a knitted top, leather jacket, black tights and boots.
 H&M: £14.99
I was so surprised these fit so well and looked quite flattering! I recently wore them out with a plain back top and my chunky heels.

 H&M: £7.99
THIS LOOKS GREAT WITH EVERYTHING! Everyone should definately invest in something like this.

Accessorize: £12
My new xmas party earrings
