OOTD: just because it burns, doesn't mean you're gonna die.

HAY HAY HAY, its a outfit of the day.
okay so, this whole "i need to blog more this year" isn't going so well. I've just started a new job (yay!) but it takes up alot of time and by the time i get home, im too tired to do anything apart from sleeping. BUT, that will all change, I'm finding a way to at least blog every weekend and hopefully more often than that if i can. I might have to start drinking like a billion coffees a day to keep me awake. also, i REALLY want a new blog name, so if you laaaaavly people could help me out, i would be soooo happy! anyway, back to the outfit....




 Dress - Newlook (teen section) - £8 *sale*
Bowtie - Claires - *unknown price*
Lace shirt - Forever 21 *unknown price*
(the belt came with a skirt i got from Amazon)
Chelsea boots - Primark - £15

I really love this tartan dress because i seriously love me some tartan and it was a proper bargain price. I would ALWAYS reccommend checking out the kids section because sometimes you can find some gems in there for half the price of the 'normal' clothes. The lace shirt gives it that edgy look with my personal favourite, the bowtie to add that extra boom boom pow and gives the outfit a preppy girl look.  Boohoo.com have the dress here and  Missguided.co.uk have a super cute tartan and leather cut out dress here and i might just have to make a cheeky little purchase because i'm a little bit in love.
Its now march, which means that the weather needs to sort itself out and get warmer because this whole 'feeling cold' thing just ain't working.

Thoughts on the outfit? blog name suggestions?

love, peace and chicken grease

OOTD: it takes me all the way, i want you to stay

okay, soooo i know i haven't blogged in forever *slap on the wrist...or bum* (cheeky) but the other day i had to quickly rush out and i chucked this outfit on and i really liked it. So, i call  this outfit 'cheeky quick outfit which kinda works so maybe i should rush all my outfits'



Plaid Shirt - Rokit - unknown price
Spiked Necklace (which i know you cant really see, but its this one) - Pop Couture - £8
Grey Leggings with Pleather Panel - Primark - £3 (did someone say BAR-GAIN?)
Brown Chelsea Boots - Primark - £15

Sooooo, I've mentioned before that i lurrrrrrrrve me some plaid/tartan. I just love the way that it makes a statement and i'm all about statements.
 I adore these leggings with the pleather panels because i just think they look soo cute and work well with a lot of outfits. you can wear them with a cropped top and heels for a night out or a baggy jumper/shirt for a more casual look. Leather/Pleather is bang on trend right now and i would defo recommend adding a bit of pleather to your wardrobe. Missguided.co.uk do some uhh-maze ones here and boohoo.com have some PU leggings here. PU/pleather/wet look leggings are like designed for people to have a little struggle whilst getting dressed. I don't actually own a pair, because i wanna have some boom-boom pow legs to show off in those leggings, but i tried some on recently and the struggle was real. *apply baby powder/butter/oil before putting on these leggings*...o k don't..or maybe you like that kinda stuff...

Hope you've all had an amaze Christmas and eaten enough food to last you until easter ;)

Pop Couture review: dont be a tart, wear tartan.

Soo, in my last blog, i talked about going to the amaze Pop Couture event the other week. We got to pick out an item and i chose this super cute tartan blouse. I was soo excited when I came home from work and the package was waiting for me.


It came in this beautiful silver tote. (i love a free bag ;)


Ok, so, i.am.in.love. I seriously love the tartan print, because its just so on trend and not everyone loves tartan...but i do. Its £20 on the website. I love the faux leather collar and gold chain. I'm a sucker for a contrasting collar. The only problem i had with it, was that the sleeves are slightly tight when i bend my arms. Thats just because i have flip flabby arms. But this is a good wake up call and gives me motivation to get skinny :-) 
All in all, i LOVE the top and in this picture it makes my boobs look bigger, waheyy
I would defo recommend everyone to have a lil look on the Pop Couture website. There are some seriously uhh-maze-ing bits and the prices are soo friggin good! 
Thank you sososooo much Pop Couture!
