Alexander Wang or ASOS?


So I was looking on the internet and came across this lattice pullover by Alexander Wang which I personally think is really cool but as its $550 I think it's a little out of my price range!! But the new Asos catalogue came and i was flicking through and came across this...

Basically the same jumper on ASOS for £48!! Although I much prefer the Alexander Wang jumper (which i guess I would due to the price tag!) I'l happily settle for this!
What do you think?

New shoesssss.




When my mum told me they had some nice heels going really cheap in the sale on ASOS, I Couldn't resist a little peek, as I was going to get some heels for my friend for her birthday this weekend. So when I came across these beauties, I was pretty happy mainly at the fact they were only £8 and that they are lovely! So I decided to treat myself as I needed a new black pair and I got them for my friend aswell and they had them in both our sizes. They were even better in real life,the pictures aren't great but they have a purple strap over the foot which doesn't show very well, aswell as silver studs similar to those on my Mums Steve Madden wedges. Result :)

Chanel transfers anyone?


Transfer tattoos seem to be a big thing for this new season. Transfers and body paint were seen all over the S/S catwalks at Rodarte, Jean Paul Gaultier and then Chanel. I'm very excited that Chanel are launching the transfers in boutiques and at Selfridges counters from 1st March but no doubt there be sold out by the time I can get there! Transfers are said to be the new statement jewellery. Les Trompe L’œil de Chanel, set of 55 individual tattoos, £49 by Chanel. I think it's a very reasonable price and perfct for someone like me who would probably never have the guts to get a tattoo!

I can't wait for spring



I absolutely hate wrapping up in this horrid weather and wearing coats so you can't even show off your outfit!
Today I wore this top dress and thick brown tights. The top and dress only from New Look but when I bought it i thought it was really pretty and cute. I wore it with my black millitary boots but did want to wear my candy pink knitted Uggs but couldn't due to the horrid rain! The headband and necklace are also from New Look.

When I came in I was reading Grazia and came across this lovely jacket from Warehouse. It's £75 and would look lovely if you dressed it up. Perfect for this season!

Polo loveeeeeee <3


So today I wore my orange Hollister polo shirt to school with jeans. I absolutely loveee polo shirts and is it me or has everyone found a new love and obsession for Hollister?! I know I have.

So when I came home today I was welcomed to yet another parcel which was in fact my new Lyle and Scott polo shirt which I got in the sale for £30! So I was happy until I found out they're now £20! Ahh why does that always happen?! However, I do love it and wanted a white one as white always looks so nice with Jeans but there is a lovely red one i'm thinking of purchasing while there in the sale.http://www.lyleandscott.com/shop/KA175V22/index.html?sale=true Decisions decisions...

Maybe I shouldn't have got a Debit card...



So I got in from school today and this is what I wore. My French connection badlashes top which I love and really want the jumper of! Then my French connection animal print leggings and my black flower necklace which isn't overly visable is from New Lookkk.
So when I got in I came across my River Island parcel that arrived today and i'm thinkingthat maybe me receiving a debit card wasn't the best idea as soon as I received it I went straight on to River Island and purchased this Hooded crop top and this amazingly cute panda beanie hat, whih i've wanted for a while now but haven't been able to get hold of it and it's been sold out everywhereeee! The hat wasn't in the sale and was £12.99 so still cheap! but the hooded top was £5 from £30 so yet another bargain I've picked up from there.

Friday nighttttt


Ok, so I said i'd do an outfit post with my new heels so here it is. I forgot to take one specifically for this so I have this pic. I'm the blonde one on left. Yea i look horrid in it but never mind. My purple dress is by French connection in which they do in many diferent colours but the purple colour of the dress was specially made to celebrate 25 years of London fashion week. I purchased it in London and it's the first time i've worn it and I personally love it. It was really hard to get hold of and there were only a few sizes left as they were selling like hotcakes the only small size left was a 6, so that's what i had to get. Then my new heels. They are amazing but the word "killer heels" deffinately lived up to itself and i'm now suffering from a blister on the ball of my foot but as they say no pain, no gain!

Jimmy Choo + Ugg = <3



I was so Happy too hear that Jimmy Choo and Ugg Austrailia were joining together! After joining with Hunter and H&M last year. I have so much love for Uggs and really don't know what i'd do without them, especially in this sort of weather! Although Uggs are quite expensive, it's lucky I have a generous mum! I have 4 pairs, tall tan ones, tall black ones, short leopard print ones in tan and chocolate brown and candy pink knitted ones and i'm planning on upping my collection! Especially when the Jimmy Choo Ugg boots come out in October this year, although they are rather pricey ranging between £495 and £695. There will be five different styles in multiple colour variations so I cannot wait for them to come out!
"Other than Jimmy Choo, UGG Australia is the only other footwear I have in my wardrobe,” said Tamara Mellon, president and founder of Jimmy Choo.

Sludge, snow and school




So it was back to school for me today after a lovely 4 day weekend. After slipping constantly and nearly falling over once i really was not happy to be at school today. So what did I wear to school...My cardigan is French Connection and it's real angora furI got it for £30 in the sale reduced from £70 a couple of weeks ago. I love the sequins and beads on it I think it's really pretty and it's so warm! My shirt is also French Connection, it's 3/4 length sleeves which tie up with bows, it's really cute. My denim skirt is from New Look and so are my grey tights, although they don't look very grey in the picture. I hate wrapping up for all this cold weather, bring on summerrr!

Chanel S/S 2010 bringing back the clogs.





So Chanel has decided to bring back clogs after being fashionable in the 70's and then a short spell in the 90's but no more are they the plain and simple clog. Chanel has decided to cover and decorate the clogs with corsage clusters in different shades such as pearl and black and also with flowers. I love them and really want a pair!

Sewingggg.


I've have seriously been thinking about making my own clothes recently. Me and my friend are thinking of going to classes so that we get to know how tou use a sewing machine properly so were ready to make our own stuff! Luckily my grandma has previously done a dress-making course so she is willing to help! I've been looking at sewing machines and have just come across this sewing machine on the John Lewis website and at £49 I think it's perfect for me as a beginner and it's my favourite colour!

Sale shopping


I've recently been sale shopping and managed to spend £180 of my christmas money. I bought loads of lovely things and thought that it was one of the best years for the sales. One thing I bought is this jacket. I spotted it in River Island about a month before christmas but didn't have enough money to purchase it due to already spending most of. So I walked into River Island and came across the jacket now £20 reduced from £40! They didn't have my size but they had the size bigger so couldn't resist buying it with there only being 2 left in the store! I absolutely love it and have tried to where it as much as possible. It's not very thick so unfortunately I have to wear it under a coat with all his winter weather!
