Fur Coat, No Knickers


Well I would have no knickers if I bought the new leopard faux fur coat in 'Warehouse' at £200 quid!
Even with my 40% staff discount, way out of reach for this poor girl. But a girl can dream...



However after trawling the internet Topshop have this baby, under half the price at 98 as well :)! Not too sure about the double breasted buttons and lets face it, £98 is still a bit out of reach for little miss bank charges.



FINALLY; price range attained. New Look; not one of my favourite stores or websites for that matter but this coat is actually quite nice, and £39.99 (don't understand why things can't be £40) so good value, even though the other two are much nicer.

This one shall have to do :)

To say that this winter, (yes I realise it's August but if you looked out the window at any point today you could be mistaken in thinking it was November!) I want a leopard print coat, so when it is 582349816 degrees below freezing I'll be toasty :)

shoe crushes;

Even if I could afford all the shoes I need (want), I would need to build a new wardrobe as it is already full of shoes. These range from 700 quid to a nice'n'easy 45! Really enjoying peep toes at the moment along with studding and built up decorations; God bless the man who invented the high heel.





CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN
Adore these; so girlie and yet rock chic at the same time. Almost perfect for me, I say also because with a price tag of £755 I'd have to sell my soul to the devil.




MCQUEEN
Oh you god. The drama, the sheer coolness, the "oh my god". BUT it's such a big shame that I'm too poor and again would have to sell my soul. (£695)

A little more affordable; still out of my league though! Not sure if I like these trashy ones or the nice nude ones with lace bow. Goddamn you House of Fraser for having such choice. (£160)




Faith at Debenhams
IN THE PRICE RANGE. Finally, got these into my work and they are fantastic, so gorgeous. Remind me of the Dolce and Gabbana hair clips from last summer! AND they are only £44.50!!!!



Faith at Debenhams
As I mentioned, STUDS ♥ love love love. And again in my price range! Lucky me as they are only £49!! Plus 10% staff discount. OH YES.




KG by Kurt Geiger
Although; I would prefer these. Would totally stand up to a scottish winter if you ask me! And I adore the tassel detail at the side the trashy gold look makes me happy. Bit much at £170, although they are called "Kitty".

hey there, you've changed.

So after twenty years of being a blonde I made the shock decision to dye my hair! "Light Auburn" went a little redder than I guess it was supposed to... As I naturally have quite light blonde hair. But it has made a huge change in how I feel about myself, I didn't think it would make much difference!
Just goes to show, blondes don't have more fun! ;)
But what I'm really excited about is Jenna's proposal to dye it even redder and buy me extensions to match; although my mother's reaction to this might not be too positive!

For £6.99 I'm pleased at how well this has turned out, I picked 'Perfect 10' because I kept seeing adverts for it on television; I must agree with them the comb applicator really did make it easier. Especially as I hadn't coloured my hair before! All round good buy!

Here's a photo of my hair, just so you see how red it went :)

Warehouse Baby ♥

So it's that time of month again, time for the new work uniform. Luckily for me everything i got last time is stil current so I have loads to chose from for my one 4 hour shift a week! As I'm standing on the floor looking at the stock I'm drawn to the "60's Animal" theme pack, which has a vintage feel (as the name would suggest) and it is mostly made up of smart dresses all of which are to die for! I have two of my favourites as uniform;

"Sunray Pleat Dress"; this is amazing on, and is one of those dresses when you put it on, suddenly your a total girl flouncing about and walking on your tippy-toes. Another good thing is that it doesn't need ironed and dries in a few hours a great quality for a work outfit!

"Ethereal Ruffle Dress"; This one was love at first sight, such a nice cut as it's empire line and sleeves are a great cover up without being too much. As i have just dyed my hair "light auburn" the colour (even though it's just cream) looked fantastic and really quite "Florence and the Machine". Its even machine washable, again a great result. Let's just hope I don't get red lipstick all over it!

-Both of these dresses are only £55 pounds and available from Warehouse
