Not just a hat rack

As a new year dawns..

New beginnings and all that

:)

I'm bored of my hair again.

Aha..

I think its getting to the stage of being toooo long now.

So I would like what I thought

was a mid length cut,

apparently not after searching on google.

=/

I no longer want mermaid long hair

that covers my boobs

but something (still long) healthy,

manageable?

Something that doesn't just hang.

Or require a lot of backcombing..

or sprays to make it have that

'va-va-voom' ha

Need some ideas though?

Or is it a bad idea?

My friends said no..but, the seed is already planted!!!!

Maybe i'll try and book an appointment tomorrow.

And thank you for all the lovely birthday wishes

:)

It means a lot

Happy Birthday to meeeee! >

As the title suggests

Its my birthdayyyy!!

My christmas was absolutely PANTS!

I wasn't allowed out of the house for a week.

and i've still got a cough.

But whatever :)

I'm getting old.

And I thought i'd do an outfit of the day.

I took my camera back to my grandparents

so I could blog lots..

and forgot the cable haha

:)

But this is me today,

on my 23rd birthday.

Looking about 16.

Ahh..good genes..maybe.

My topshop tunic :)

I lusted for so long!

And have meant to show it off for about just as long



I'm away out tonight..

so maybe i'll overdo it with an outfit of the night post too.

Corr..

Merry Christmas & Winner >

December 24th is here

and I hope you are all safely tucked up at home

in the warmth!!

It's so frickin' cold outside!

It was -17 the other night,

wahhhh!

But my thoughts are with you if you are stuck

travelling..or attempting to!

My flights were delayed yesterday.

Its been a little while since my last post,

like a lot of other people,

i'm ill for Christmas..

My family won't let me out of the house,

and i'm drugged up on every cough medicine going.

Sneaky buggers also gave me drowsy stuff to put me to sleep

as they needed peace haha.

:)

So I just wanted to say have a very Merry glittering sparkling chocolatey over indulged Christmas day tomorrow!

You are a lovely bunch :)

I love and appreciate you all!

But I tell you that all the time ha

Main reason for this post was of course to name the winner

of the cross ring,

I have not forgotten!

I've just been bed ridden

and not able to even think of sitting at the computer!

So Merry Christmas

and Congratulations!

Ending this with a Scottish Christmas pic haha

Weight Issues..

People can be so mean sometimes.
Like, really.
:(

Yesterday was my Christmas night out
I didn't take any pictures myself,
but everyone else did,
so I will steal the pics and do a post on that!

It was a bit pants though.
I was all up for it,
then as things go..
didn't live up to the hype!

Anywayyy..part of that was because of my mum.
BOOOO to you woman!

Since moving in with my boyfriend, I eat slightly more than I used to..
i'm not big though,
i'm under 9 stone, size 10.
Hardly a wide load!

But my mum keeps making comments to me about needing to buy a size bigger in clothes
or how i'd look better if I lost a couple of lbs.
Or just pulls one of those faces.

Now is there any need for that?!

It TOTALLY made me feel rubbish yesterday.

I'm not one of those to be comfortable with my weight as it is,
but to have my mum add to it.
I really wasn't in the mood.

You all know what I look like right now..
do I need to show you?
ha..indulge in more posing?!
;)

well, this is the weight my mum 'approved' of..more than I am now
(sorry its bright, old phone picture)

Eeee! Dark hair!

I was an 8..a small 8

and yes, I was happier.

but I was also a lot younger!

I would love to be that size again,

but not enough to go on a diet.

I'm crazy on diets..

I don't eat..well 500 calories per day, I exercise 2/3 hours a day.

Tomato soup, half a baked potato with beans, dry chicken and steamed veg..and a pack

of quavers as a treat is my diet.

I'm good at dieting.

Not healthily.

But I lose the weight and I feel more confident.

I don't diet anymore, because I can't do it the right way.

I just think it was nasty to comment,

you may not be confident about some things,

but do you really need other people to point that out

and confirm its an issue!

Do you ever feel that way?

About anything, not just weight.

I'm not good with criticism.

How do you all take it?!

Or..can you give me healthy diet tips?

:) 

(This is a long post for me! Sorry its not a fun one!)

Anyway, what I really want to say..

is better said by someone else - Steph

It must be Spring with all these daisies >

My favourite purchase of the week by far!

I have been looking for something like this since last year.

And only now..when I nipped in and to look for a chunky scarf as I passed Primark.

my face was frozen..

I don't know if its the whole of the UK

(not seen the news)

but its CRAZY windy snow here!

AGAIN!

So I look greasy from my dried in wet hair, niiiice!

please forgive :)

Its so crazy!

Just in time for the night out as well,

going to be going in some uggs at this rate!

I will show this in a more glamourous light

in the near future,

I reeeaaalllyyy want to do more outfit/face posts

like I used to!

Need to get back in the swing of it!

But I just wanted to show you guys quickly cos its so cute haha

I look like Edward Scissorhands at the moment!

£1 in Primark

Love itttt!

I got a chunky scarf..

and some 100 denier tights..

good to be prepared!

nom NOM nom!

This post is quickly making the rounds in the blogging world!

But I feel I need to do it as well :)

get it out there!

Primark is one of those stores..

I used to be a snob, NEVER went in..

then gradually went in sometimes,

found some gems..

now I think they have totally come into their own,

and I have no problems being an avid shopper there!

So when I started seeing posts on peoples blogs

1, 2, 3

and seeing how fabby the collection looks

I thought..yep, I have to share this too

just in case someone hasn't spotted them!



I love all the bags ♥

Always love a bit of a granny bag :)

And the dresses are super pretty, not sure I could pull them all off..

and although not everything is to my taste,

I doubt if you saw this in a magazine it would jump out at you as being Primark.

I think that makes it all the more satisfying when you find something lovely there!

Help me with makeup..or laugh at me! :)

I need makeup help.

Saturday is our work night out..

no idea what i'm wearing

but what do I do with my face?!

Obviously fill those brows in..

Sculpt those cheeks



but what about my eyes and lips?!

Smokey..eyeliner flick? bright..muted?

ALSO I am such a failure.

just needed to let you know :)

I had that awful panic of having lost my phone..

checked my friends car..nope

checked my bag..nope

gym..nope

under cars outside work..nope

work..nope

tesco..nope

TWO AND A HALF HOURS LATER...

Oh..it was in her car :)

baha..

whadda gonk!

Drop your guard, you dont have to be smart all of the time.

This is a song I remember from quite a while ago..

but forgot.

I'd never seen the video..but it's one of those I can't stop watching ha..

I need to know what happensss!

Well, my boyfriend played this the other morning.

And I thought it would be a nice song to put on here

:)

I have no idea what you guys think of my taste in music!

Probably pants haha..

or if its what you expected?!

or maybe you just don't listen!

but it's nice for a change..and maybe

you will one day hear a song you have never heard before..

and love it!

That would make my day

:)

River Island Booooooots! >

Over the past couple of months,

I have been admiring pair after pair of River Island shoes!

So i'm going to post a few pics and I like to hear your opinions.

Sometimes I just need to be asked, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!

I used to work there..seems like so so long ago,

but yeh..how come they never had any of this stuff when I was there?!

Barely got use of my discount!

And now..

It's on purpose, surely!

Now I love this pair..they freak my boyfriend out though?

He thinks they look like cobbler shoes?!

Ha..no idea!

Aaand I love these, not as much..not very me.

But just the fact that they look old fashioned makes me happy!

These would go with nothing I own..and make me look dumpy.

But I like them!

I've seen these boots (mostly the black) on a lot of blogs!

And a lot of girls in the street (does that ever put you off?!)

I like them, they are cute..but yeh..

a lot of people have them!

I really like these, shearling..looooove!

and not a high heel, just easy comfort!

I reckon you could get good wear out of these!

Finally

Now I don't love them, but I want something similar..

I feel I should be practical and say, none of these have grips,

i'm safer walking on the roads with all the ice about,

what on earth am I thinking wanting a pair of one of the above!

but snow/ice doesn't last forever

:)

Obviously, I buy shoes from other shops..but River Island ones have caught my eye

recently!

Just thought i'd let yas know!

Primark buys And A New Vid-jo! :)

I reeaalllyy want to get back into my old posts..

ya knoww..

face/outfit posts.

but the light..honestly!

Work really does play havoc with this blog of mine!

Bought a couple of items from Primark!

mostly socks..the thick ones to wear over tights etc with my boots

but bought these things too!

Not seen much I would want from there at the moment to be honest,

not really seen anyone else's posts on purchases either

so is that a general thing?!

Ah well..

My fairisle type slipper booties,

I have a pair of quite expensive (who buys expensive slippers?!) slipper boots,

but I wear them to death so I saw these and thought whyy naaat.

They are quite cute, loving this design on everything I see!



This wee messenger style bag, its actually really cute, they had black too..

but I have so much black!

My pictures don't look that great..I think because its not 'worn'

I need to put some things in it and make it look used ha

:)

and again..not greaaat but I bought some brogue style shoes

just to wear with little skirts/tights.

If i'm honest..I was just looking for things to spend money on!

Its an addiction!

I will need to take pictures of my H&M jackets..I am so smitten with them!

I want to flaunt them haha

Anywhoooooooooooo I made an 'OOTD' youtube video  

I want to get into it..but my goodness..

it shows me how much junk food i've eaten since it got cold!

I look like a PIE!

Need to get on that!

:)

Oh, oh and look at this pasty face

Christmas work night out is next Saturday so I am going for a Xen-Tan

spray tan next week.

Hopefully i'll look glowy!

And not deathly =/

Only 4 more days of my giveaway so if you haven't entered, go do that!

Especially at this time of the year..

Think of all the lovely Christmas presents you could buy people.. just go all out!

Or leave the cold weather for a last minute tan!

Thats what i'd like to think I would do!

Sadly (..perhaps for others) I have only child syndrome.

:)

Me, me, me.. and a little bit for everyone else after, ha!
