Matalan Success?

Not really, but I'm not too fussed. They STILL didn't have the bikini's in O_o I'll just go to good old Primark or invest in one from Newlook. There were many things I liked, but nothing to make me go 'Ooooh I have to buy it!', so I saved my pennies like a good girl :D

I also bought my mum a cardigan to wear over her dress for the for upcoming wedding, because I'm such an amazing daughter you see :P

I did buy one thing though:

2 in 1 clutch and over the shoulder bag. It was £8 but it was so cute I had to buy it! This will go with so many things, casual or formal. Inside is bigger than what it looks like from the outside. It fits my phone in perfectly and has enough room for money, make-up etc.

I'm off to the Newlook website to buy some dolly shoes and pumps, maybe something extra too :P

OOTD & Skipping!

I rarely do Outfit Of The Day posts because I don't have many clothes I think are worthy of one aha, but I'm going to try and do more, starting with the simplest outfit I could possibly wear:

I was just relaxing in the garden and doing a bit of revision.

Vest: Republic

Shorts: Random navy striped shorts from my PJ drawer :P

Ok soooo, I want to tone up a wee bit for summer (don't we all!). Because I've always been slim and never watched my weight, I've never exercised for that purpose (I've exercised for fun; running, swimming etc but for the last couple of years, zilch).

I don't want to do anything serious because I don't really need to so one option I am going to take up is skipping!

*whacks out the old skipping rope*

Taaa daaaa! and a snippet of my toes because their pretty ;)

Bought this about 10 years ago from school when we had a skipping day aha. Because it's not rope, but one of those 'speed' skipping ropes, it bloody hurts if you accidentally whip yourself or get in the way. Luckily for me I'm a pro so this never happens ;) ha yeah right.

Is it lame that I'm going to Google 'skipping rope tricks'? Maybe, but hopefully I can become really good and enter competitions! .. I'm only joking, or am I? :P.. Yes, yes I am joking.

Hair Inspiration Continued

Just a quick post to show you some more hair inspiration.. me!

These are from a year-2 years ago

Funnily enough, in all three I have my hair wavy, I liked it like that ^^

Sorry about the first two posing pictures, we've all got them!

The first and third pictures are in direct sunlight and that's the lightest my hair got but the middle picture shows you the colour it normally was like, darkish auburn.

Hair Inspiration

I can't wait for my ginger locks to come back! The dye is pretty much gone now, and my hair is ginger toned but it just needs to be lightened up. The sun will do this!

How gorgeous are these redheads? Some natural locks and some not but all of them are beautiful. Ginger ugly? pfft just look at these:

(Not really ginger toned but she's gorgeous!)

I need your help!

I need shoes to go with this dress! and to help me decide, I'm going to do a pros and cons on two types of shoes. (& ask for your help!) Dolly shoes vs. Heels.

White lace dolly shoes. Newlook £14.

Pros:

1. Cheaper than heels = more money for clothes!

2. A lot more comfortable and this is important because I'm going to be at this wedding all day

3. They look cute and girly

4. Will wear again

5. Have found many pairs to go with my dress

Cons:

1. Don't look as nice as heels

Newlook £30.

Newlook, Down to £15 (Money is obviously not an issue here, but I'm not sure if I like them)

Newlook £30.

(Chosen shoes from Newlook because they are in my price range)

Pros:

1. Look gorgeous!

2. ^ That's the only reason I need :P

Cons:

1. Expensive (Top of my budget. I'm not spending over £30 on shoes I will hardly wear.. which brings me on to the next point)

2. Will rarely wear them; only when I go out to a party

3. Might hurt my feet if I'm in them allll day

4. (Heels in general) Haven't found many pairs I like

So yes, we can clearly see which has more pros, but the one pro for heels outweighs most :P I'm not sure. I'm sure most of you will say heels but I haven't got money to waste on a pair of shoes which I will wear.. once a month maybe?

Aaah I'm in two minds!

What do you think?

Oh and are Primark selling any nice heels recently?

Dress and update :)

I bought this top from Primark (£5) but realised when I got home it was two sizes too big. I was going to return it but I think it looks nice as a dress and is long enough to be one (Elasticated at the top so still fits). I've also seen a few girls wearing this as a dress and it looks nice so I think it can be worn either way, whatever takes your fancy.

I had to include this! Looks delicious right? It's rocky road cheesecake from Tesco *drools*

I also went to Matalan today, saw a nice bikini, tried it on and the top was too small (My bust is growing woop!) so went back for a size 10 and guess what, there was not one in sight. I was fuming as this seems to be happening a lot. But I'm going back during the week and I've also spotted another I like so I'm going to get both :) I'll show you them, if they have my size!

Matalan also have some amazing jewellery I've been eyeing up!

I've been looking for some heels for a wedding I'm going to in June for ages now but can't find any I like. I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to wear dolly shoes. They won't look as nice but..

1. These will still look cute

2. I've found many pairs which go with my dress

3. They will be more comfortable which is definitely a bonus as I'm at this wedding all day

4. I can wear them again

5. Less expensive

6. Being less money, I can spend more on clothes!

Ok so I've just been at a BBQ (up the road) and have come down to do some revision because one exam is this Thursday and the rest are two weeks away. Blogger has distracted me a bit but is sooo much better than revision. I really should do some though because I've only done a bit and feel like I'm going to fail :/

Ooooh and isn't the weather nice?! When I broke up for Easter it was hot and sunny and now I've broke up for study leave it's nice and sunny.

This is kinda bad because everyone goes beach and has BBQ's which distracts me from revision.

Anyway, toodles my little cupcakes!
