So I bought some more shoes...

Sunday I took the family on a road trip :)

Our plan was to go visit the Duke of Lancaster ship (derelict/abandoned) up in North Wales, via Liverpool and The Wirral.

With Liverpool as the first destination I told myself NO SHOPPING!!

This lasted about an hour or so, until I went 'to look at Lomography cameras' in Urban Outfitters! I didn't get a camera BUT I found a peace necklace in the shape of a heart <3 I already have a UO peace necklace but I HAD to have this one too!

This was £14.

Next up, Mum wanted a denim shirt, so we went to Primark...and I ended up walking out with a bag of 'stuff'!

Top £4, 2-pack leggings £4.90, flower garland £2.50, 2-pack bracelets £2 and the gorgeous elephant trio ring, which was reduced from £3 to £1!!

(Excuse the rubbish nails, the crack in index finger was the point which I managed to bend my nail back to today....yes, IT HURT!!)

and finally...the biggest fail, but also WIN of the day.

On route to the car park I decided to go into Office...I came out with these...

HOT DAMN!!

Gold embroidery <3

Slip-proofing!

Dust bag.

I saw these online when they first came out and loved them, but wouldn't pay £110...

WELL...these were down to £50 in the sale, THEY WERE MINE! I tried them, I loved them, Mum couldn't even think of words to stop me (like she usually does!).

I didn't have £50 in this months budget to spend on things like these but I just had to!

Needless to say, after this I was quick to leave Liverpool and walked past the rest of the shops without looking!!

We then headed to West Kirby, The Wirral. Had a walk around the Marine Lake, which was nice.

Then we headed to the highlight of the day (that may sound sad, but I have wanted to visit this for SO long!). 45 minutes or so further driving and we reached the Duke of Lancaster ship :)

What a spectacle! Such a shame it has been abandoned.

Here's some outfit pics:

New Soul Cal 'Day Dreamer' crop, £10 in Republic sale :)

Top: Soul Cal @ Republic

Black vest & leggings 'standard': Primark

Shoes: Primark

Bag: Paul's Boutique 'Barbie' @ Cult

More new shoesies :)

These cost £8 from Primark.

Pretty comfy, only slight rubbing, but I did walk miles!

and the pretty interior stained my feet (which was cringey when trying shoes in Office!)

Soul Cal top <3

So, that was my fun Sunday. The rest of the weekend was equally as amazing, but I shall leave that for another post.

Hope you all had a great weekend and are making the most of this weather, how hot?!

Vaseline, Nails & a DVD :)

Second post of the day, but I just wanted to share today's findings:

My sister and I popped to Boots 'for a look'...which 90% of the time ends up with us both purchasing things, even if we didn't plan to!

But today I couldn't resist when I saw Vaseline body products at HALF PRICE!!

I've wanted to try all these for a long time, and as they were so cheap I got all 4. I have yet to try, but they smell yummy!

I also got a CUTE face cloth (above), which was £1.99.

Prices:

Vaseline Aloe Fresh Moisturising Body Gel 200ml now £2.49

Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Fresh Body Lotion 200ml now £1.35     

Vaseline Cocoa Butter Gel Body Oil 200ml now £2.44

Vaseline Conditioning Cocoa Butter Lotion 200ml now £1.76

 Bargain! These are also half price on Boots website.

~~~ 

I also thought I would show today's nails, as the girl at the till in Boots said she really liked the colour :) I like when people compliment/comment on things :)

The nail varnish is from Miss Sporty Clubbing Colors collection, it has no name, but it'd be easy to find. These are really cheap, but great quality! and the brushes are a great size, tidy and so nice to use.

~~~

Now, the next thing is totally off-topic in terms of beauty/fashion etc...but today my Play.com order arrived...

Chapter 27, the story of Mark Chapman and the murder of John Lennon.

I bought this DVD as I have always wanted to watch this, and I got it for just £3.73, free delivery! I was on Play.com to pre-order Kids in Glass Houses new album, In Gold Blood, which I still have to wait a few weeks for the release :( But I shall have a lovely, gold signed, limited edition copy, woo!

Now, the reason I wanted to watch this so much is the star of the film, Jared Leto <3 I love him! Look up 'amazing' in the dictionary and I'm sure he would come up in there ;-) Great actor, great musician (30 Seconds to Mars) and absolutely STUNNING! Even at almost 40 years old! Ahhhh :)

This is the movie he put on LOADS of weight for, and became almost unrecognisable!

Anyway, reading the back of the box, I am now really excited to watch it, intrigued by the story. So, I hope it's good! Lindsay Lohan is the leading lady though, unfortunately...So who knows!

That's all for tonight, I am now going to go paint my nails (again!) and get some sleep, work in 7 and a half hours...

I'm Back :) YAY!

Hello All :)

Ah, it feels so good to be back!! We were internet-less for the past few weeks/month, and it was HORRIBLE!! But now the internet is fixed, and I am back to blog *smiles*.

So, I have LOADS to blog about, I have been up to lots since my last post; lots of city days out, a week off work, Wakestock Festival, MY BIRTHDAY, Blackpool and, of course, lots of shopping!! So I have plenty to share :)

After a busy month I am very pretty poor now :( BUT...pay day is just days away, joy!

For tonight I will leave you with 2 pairs of shoes which I have discovered today (in my 'poor/waiting for pay day' mood, when I always seem to online 'window' shop in desperation!).

Firstly, I opened an email from Schuh and saw a wonder of blue sparkliness and great height...

A-MAZING <3

These beauties are £65. Click the photo to go to the website :)

and secondly...I had a random look on Harrods website, and on the homepage came a selection of Kurt Geiger's latest shoes, OH WOW!

So I kinda fell in love with these...

LOVE LOVE LEOPARD LOVE <3

These are (sadly!) £150, which I am trying to justify in my head and tempt myself BUT I just can not afford such price with my car and bills to pay for :( I live in hope these will be in the sale in January...

Click the photo to go to the website :)

So, that's all for tonight ladies. I hope you are all fantastic :)

Sunburn & Spree'ing

Tonight I made a last minute dash to Telford late-night shopping, for a hat...

Tomorrow I shall blog about my 'spree', which did not include said hat that I went for!

Here's a sneak peak...

So, Download Festival was AMAZING (blog post coming soon!). BUT non-stop rain Sunday forcing us to abandon tents, sleeping bags and shoes and come home a night early was a bit of a nightmare! Then there's the sunburn from Friday and Saturday...well, what can I say except OUCH!!

I won't even post the photo of my sunburnt face because it is horrid! I'm pretty worried about the sun spots I have on my face and shoulders :-(

I did cover myself in sun protection spray on Saturday, whilst being in the Main Arena field for the whole day, but Friday when we were hauling things the few miles between the car park and the camp site, then sitting outside the tent, I did not have any on, as it seemed dull but clearly that's when the sun gets you! I wish I'd put some on now...

I bought a new sun protection to take to Download, Nivea Sun Invisible Protection spray, which I got for £6.88, which is cheap for sun protection nowadays! I can't really judge whether it works as I had already burnt before using it. It smells quite nice though, and isn't really greasy, absorbs well and is easy to use.

(excuse the squint, the sun was in my eyes, I was hot and bothered and burning!)

I use Factor 50 as I am very fair skinned, and burn in even the slightest sun :-( I read this week that Demi Moore apparently applies sun protection everyday to protect her skin from harmful, skin-ageing sun rays...I am considering this. Especially now, seeing how damaged my skin is just from 2 days. In my current state I am peeling on both shoulders (one shoulder has completely peeled!) and my scalp is peeling (so I look like I have dandruff!) and tonight my lower arms have started! My nose is also peeling and very sore. I could cry right now, this is horrible!

I am not a sun-worshiper and actually like being fair skinned and think it should be embraced :) There's nothing wrong with being tanned (as long as you do it safely but don't end up tangoed or like Jordan's current 'Ronseal' wood stain colour!), but I myself am quite happy being fair, I just need to start being more protective over my skin!!

Does anyone have any advice on stopping/treating peeling skin following sunburn???

Oh yes, and my sister re-did the purple hair again the night before we went to Download and I think this is the best shade it has come out so far! <3 And although it seems to be running out in every wash and staining towels still, after 1 week it is still looking just as purple!!

Friday tomorrow...it's almost the weekend ladies :) Who is excited? I know I am...KINGS OF LEON!!!

xXx

The Purple is Returning!!

I am currently sat here with my hair covered in dye, in between having a last minute rush packing for Download tomorrow!! I can hear heavy rain outside and therefore am DREADING tomorrow! PLEASE BE SUNNY!!

So I am dying my hair again as the brown quickly faded back into a purpley-brown 'bruple' colour, as I mentioned in a previous post, and as I am going to Download tomorrow I figured I should go with my original plan to bring the purple back :)

Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL in Cyber Purple is my colour of choice again.

If I have chance I will try and post my festival survival kit before I go, but if not I shall when I am home ;-)

I am TOO excited!!

Download here we come :) :) :)

I must dash now but just wanted to do a quick post, the dye has been on my hair over half an hour...think I need to wash it out quick!

Hope you are all having a great week, despite this dull weather!

Weekend Part 2: The Wedding, OOTD&N & Miss Sporty Nails

As I previously mentioned, it was my cousin Nick's wedding yesterday. Beautiful day, ceremony and dress worn by the bride, Jo.

And here's my outfit:

Face:

And the best part...THE SHOES!!

These beauties were from New Look (£29.99) and I must say, they were pretty comfy! I managed to wear them throughout the wedding AND reception, then into town afterwards (with a mere 10 minutes taking them off at home whilst changing outfits to go to town!). Considering the heel height of just over 5 inches they were very comfy and only started to hurt my feet towards to later part of the evening! And luckily there were no ankle sprains at the wedding, considering the outside of the venue was all pebble stone paths and grass for all the women to have to totter on!!

After a fun taxi drive home with my sister and cousin Matt in a taxi blasting Black Stone Cherry out loud <3 we had 10 minutes before the next taxi arrived to take us into town. I changed out of my dress and was going to relieve my feet but decided I just couldn't wear flats, so the heels went back on!

I slipped my hair up in a messy do for town as it was so hot and my hair has gone slightly kinky for the days heat! I don't usually wear my hair up, but clearly need to more often as I didn't get ID'd anywhere!! and I usually do! (I have a round, young face!!).

Today I made a quick 30 minutes dash to town before the shops shut, in search of Black Stone Cherry's new album (that the taxi driver had on!) BUT it was sold out :( I did manage to get Avenged Sevenfold's latest album though, along with My Chemical Romance's as they were 2 for £10 at HMV! Gave them both a listen on my trip up to Lyth Hill afterwards where I decided to go for a walk, much needed exercise!!

<3

Here's a panoramic pic from Lyth Hill :)

and one taken in my car wing mirror (just coz I thought it looked cool ;) )

I also want to share with you a nail varnish I have fallen in LOVE with...

I put this on today as it was in my 'box of products I haven't used yet!' and think it is a beautiful colour <3

Nail varnish is by Miss Sporty, it doesn't have a name on the bottle but it is part of the Clubbing Colors range ;) They retail at £1.99 but I think I got this from Boots on 2 for £3!! BARGAIN!

The brush is fantastic, easy to use and tidy! The varnish dries in no time and the finish is lovely! I am just in love with this product!!

So, there's my weekend in a blog ;)

Hope you have all had a lovely weekend!

Back to work tomorrow, but only for 3 days before I head off to Download :):):)
