A Christmassy song title may be not totally appropriate in February, but it matches how the weather has been in Birmingham over the weekend. On Saturday afternoon, before the snow went mental and covered everything in a blanket of coldness, myself and my sister Louise ventured into the city centre for a little bit of shopping.</div>

This is what I wore, wasn't the most weather appropriate outfit, but I hate coats, I prefer layering.<br />
I'm wearing a white strappy top, which you can't see from <b>George @ ASDA</b> I think, grey vest top with graphic detail from<b> AllSaints</b>, Checked Shirt and Leggings both from <b>Primark</b>, Leather Jacket from <b>Miss Selfridge</b>, Panda hat from <b>Select</b> and Bag from <b>Warehouse.</b><br />

I bought everything I had planned to, two <b>Live Salon Style</b> hair dyes in dark brown and a <b>Rimmel</b> Eyebrow pencil in Black/Brown as well as some 'rust' coloured leggings from <b>Primark</b>, for three pound, I couldn't really say no! Although, I had to buy size 6, as they didn't have an 8, so I'm praying they still fit.</div>

Me and Louise browsed the shops and had some food while waiting for my boyfriend to finish work. By then the weather was pretty bad, but it was actually really pretty. We waited for Louise to get her bus home and then I went back to Kyle's. We only ventured outside for a cigarette and I took this picture, which is rubbish I know!</div>

I bought this dress ages ago from Primark and I was really happy with my purchase. It's quite short however, so I couldn't wear it with just tights, leggings are a must! It's a really nice style dress, it has small sleeves which are really cute, goes in at the waist and flairs out slightly at the skirt. I've actually heard someone mention they really like my dress before when I was in a restaurant. Stranger compliments are nice.</div>

As I said leggings are a must with this dress, otherwise you risk your bottom being on show to the world! I thought I'd wear some shoes I don't wear often, because I seem to live in my docs, so I went for my converse. I do love converse and I've still got a pink pair from when I was 11, so I've loved them for a while, the only complaint I have, is that they rub on my feet quite a bit, so thick socks need to be worn with them.</div>

This hat is so cute and matched my converse colour-wise, plus I wasn't having the best hair day that day either and the wind was ridiculous so it was very useful for keeping my hair out of my face.</div>

I've got to a point again where I'm just bored of everything, the way I look, my daily routine etc and I feel like something needs to happen, even something small. Usually when I feel like this, I'll change my hair style, get a piercing (a few months ago I got my nose pierced), but I actually can't afford to do anything, so I'm pretty stuck. Thinking about it, I am pretty unhappy with the way I look, for example my make-up. I've done my make-up pretty much the same way since I was about thirteen and recently it hasn't looked good and I've felt like I look like a greebo, haha. Maybe I need a style overhaul? Change until I'm happy with myself. </div>Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14400719119128676300noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457992051745130426.post-31303970751332116992012-01-25T18:40:00.000+00:002012-08-03T13:50:08.966+01:00Bits and bobs<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today is my best friend Danielle's 18th birthday, so yesterday myself, Danielle, Ciara and Emily went into Birmingham town centre and to Nandos for a meal together. We don't go out often as just the four of us and it was really nice. Good food, good company.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, we wanted to do something nice for her, so we came up with the idea of cupcakes! We bought cakes which were ready made, so that they would all be the same size, we made strawberry and chocolate butter cream and decorated the top of the cakes with that and Ciara bought 1 Direction sugar paper decorations online to put onto the cakes. Just to say, only Danielle is a 1D fan and the rest of us let her know daily how much of a loser she is. </div>

<span style="text-align: center;">We felt like idiots carrying these through town and into Nandos, but I think they turned out pretty well ! We were proud of them anyway. Me and Emily arrived at Nandos slightly before Danielle and Ciara to set up the cakes. We had bought a cupcake stand to put them on and it looked so cute! </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3-RSRlzA2ZqO3xP55jo4Tu1qhscvVEDudUJdJtKPWhyphenhyphen8-dTlX3ZB9NG3XADwtuB8c4VxZyLa3agxsRKjMCPfrzK9xh6-jgn8ZwQJPuNd0JXRM11TQkJWs7Bgq9wV0c1Qm5ZXl9RJ_0p4/s1600/IMAG2164.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>

We made sure the candles were lit for when Danielle got to the restaurant and from her reaction, I think she liked it. She took photos of each individual 1D member on the cakes, so my camera if now full of pictures of people I do not care for, but as long as she's happy. After Nandos, we went on a trip to get Danielle hair dye and then back to mine to chill and drink tea. It was a nice evening and Danielle is having a party tonight, which should be fab and I will be posting about that sometime during the week, as I have a busy weekend ahead of me! x</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">I spent Wednesday and Thursday with my boyfriend Kyle, as it’s his birthday on Friday, but due to how arrangements have turned out, I will only see him briefly on his birthday. On Wednesday, we went into town after sixth form to look for a birthday present for my best friend Danielle, who’s birthday is on Saturday and managed to find her something, that I love myself, so I might have to keep it and she can accept life, aha, but while in town, Kyle was a darling and bought me a jumper and a set of three pairs of earrings. </span></div>

I'm slightly moving away from my usual grunge style and I saw this jumper and fell in love so Kyle grabbed it and insisted on buying it for me, not complaining. I was going to buy the earrings myself, but Kyle was nice enough to pay for them too, what a babe. The jumper is crop, which is a big awkward during the winter, but with high-waisted trousers/shorts it will be fine and I did wear it with a top underneath and it looked fine. Very happy with it.<br />

After the disaster that was my Huddersfield interview, well I wouldn't say disaster...but lets say that anyway, I wasn't at all confident about my other interviews and I'm still considering not actually going to University anymore, but of course I wasn't going to no attend my other interviews.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Strangely, over the last few days, I was some what excited for my interview at UCA, Epsom. I think it was because I'd experienced one interview, so I knew what to expect.</div>

That isn't saying it wasn't slightly boring, so I thank god that I remembered to take a magazine. I've never really read ELLE before, but after reading it today, I've fell in love and will certainly be buying it next month. I adore the style of writing and an article in there by Annabel Brog actually helped me a lot today. She wrote about her experience in starting a new job and explained how you have to embrace the fear you have and not be scared of it, if that makes sense. I felt as though I was meant to read that article today.</div>

The interview turned out to be a group one. There were seven of us in a room, with one of the lecturers from the course, we all explained what we are currently do, education wise, discussed what was included in our portfolio and which designers and magazines we were partial too and we then had to write up an outline of what we would write if we were given the opportunity to write in a column this week. I went for the 'drama' I've recently seen online about people such as Cher Lloyd wearing Doc Martens and Rihanna wearing creepers and said I would discuss whether this is really a bad thing, or a success for the items and how people who have wore these items for a long time feel about them becoming more mainstream.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Literally. Due to a complete lack of money, I can't go shopping at all for months, with two of my best friends birthdays coming up, as well am my boyfriends, a lot of money needs to be saved. Therefore, this post is purely to lust over the items I cannot afford and will never have.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, my 'wish list' consists of these three items.<br />
First a<b> leather look skirt,</b> I love the shape of this skirt, it's completely different to what I'd usually wear and that's why I want it so much.<br />
Second a <b>black velvet dress</b>, I haven't been a fan of velvet until now, I think it gives a normal skater dress a complete new look and I think it's beautiful.<br />
Finally, <b>leather look leggings</b>. Yes, leather look again. They're just a bit different from normal black leggings and can be worn casually and dressy.<br />
<br />
If anyone wants to donate money, or buy me these things, just let me know. Haha x</div>

Today, I have my first university interview and it's an understatement to say I was nervous. I got up at 8 and left the house at 9, with a quick stop off at sixth form to pick up my Graphics book, just my luck that the teachers weren't in and I couldn't find my book, then me and my father just headed straight for Huddersfield.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We went into the university at 1pm, with my interview being at 1:30, or so I thought. A group of about 25, including myself went into a lecture hall and listened to a brief talk about the subject, then were told to wait until we were called in. The interviewed two at a time and trust me to be one of the last. I think there were 4 girls left once I went for mine. It wasn't the best interview, I was really nervous and to be honest, the interviewer didn't seem interested in what I was saying at all, but I'm just looking at it like, I have two more interviews, which I'll be more prepared for now and I already have an offer from Sunderland, so that is my back up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wasn't in the best mood after the interview, I was actually really upset with how it had gone, but I'm feeling a lot better now and I'll just go with the flow and see where I end up. x</div>Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14400719119128676300noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457992051745130426.post-82329495378168508702012-01-08T23:18:00.000+00:002012-10-07T17:11:17.396+01:00"Music doesn't hurt when it hits you"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Professor Green : Alive Till I'm Dead</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My love for Professor Green continues to grow always. This album is my go to album if I can't decide on what to listen too, because it puts me in a good mood and I have memories attached to this album. It's quite a gritty album, it's much more polished that his older stuff, but it's still real and not manufactured music. My favourite songs would be 'Jungle', 'oh my god' and 'city of gold', particularly Jungle, I just love the style of the song.</div>

<b>Glasvegas: </b><b>Euphoric /// Heartbreak \\\</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I first listened to Glasvegas a few years ago, I didn't see the appeal. I don't know why, but about a year ago, I heard of them again, listened to some songs and fell in love immediately. 'Shine like stars' is probably my favourite song from the album. It's just a really up beat song ''I feel forwards is the only way'' and it just makes me feel better and want to go out and do something, not long about I was tempted to get some of the lyrics of the song tattooed and if I still want to when I'm 18, I shall. I feel as though this album is very personal, particularly songs like 'I feel wrong'</div>

<b>You Me At Six : Sinners Never Sleep</b></div>
I have been a fan of You Me At Six since about 2007 when they were playing songs like The Rumour and Save it for the bedroom. Each album they've released, I haven't been disappointed and Sinners never sleep was no different. My favourite songs being 'Reckless' and 'This is the first thing'. I love the album because the songs are different enough to suit different moods, this album has been one of my most played during the last few months.</div>

One of my new favourite tops and a outfit of the day post.<br />
<br />
Another top that I've been after for a stupid amount of time, was an <b>Honour Over Glory </b>boobtube. Whenever I thought about getting one, I didn't have the money, so I got this for Christmas.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
They have this boobtube in white, black, burgundy and navy blue, I nearly purchased the burgundy, but decided on white, as it means I will be able to wear it with more colours. I got it in small and it is slightly tight around my stomach :( but I don't think it would look good baggy, plus I don't have big enough boobs to wear a medium. Overall the fit is quite good and although it's a boobtube, I'll still be wearing in during Winter/Spring, because providing you layer, you can wear pretty much anything!</div>

This outfit was just to go round to a mates house for a bit of a gathering, so quite casual.</div>

The shorts are <b>H&M </b>black jeans, which I cut into shorts, the tights are from <b>Georg</b>e at <b>ASDA </b>and of course, my trusty <b>Doc Martens</b>.</div>

To actually be able to brave the cold, I wore a grey zip-up jacket and leather jacket as well. I did find that the top fell down slightly, but that's probably down to me dancing a bit too much, so for day wear this top should be fine. I wouldn't wear a necklace with a top like this, I think with the 'neckline' the way it is, you need to keep it simple for it too look best. x</div>Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14400719119128676300noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457992051745130426.post-27107601848319490052012-01-04T18:01:00.000+00:002012-08-03T13:51:14.306+01:00Join the doll cult<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've wanted this top for so long now, as soon as I saw it on <a href="http://www.nikkilipstick.com/products">NikkiLipstick</a> and I knew I had to have it one day! The top is available in black and white, cropped or uncropped. I bought the white, because I'm always in dark clothing, so thought I'd be a bit of a daredevil with a white top! I also bought it as cropped, but that's just because I forgot to change the listing to uncropped, ah well. It's still long enough to cover me when I'm wearing my high-waisted shorts, which I practically live in, so all is fine.</div>

Today was a lazy day, I just wanted to stay in bed all day with my boyfriend, sadly he had to go to work at 11:30, so I got my ass out of bed once he'd left. I didn't actually get dressed until about 4 in the afternoon, because I wasn't going out, but by 4 I felt like a tramp so got ready anyway.</div>

Again, this was a very simple outfit, which consisted of Leopard print leggings, which I got from a shop via ebay and a black polo shirt, of which I just found in the clean washing pile and decided to claim it as my own.

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been wearing <b>Collection 2000 Fast Stroke Eyeliner</b> since I first starting wearing eyeliner when I was 12/13, I've experimented with other liquid eyeliners, but always found that I prefer Collection 2000. However, for Christmas this year, I got a<b> Maybelline Gel Eyeliner, </b>I had seen it in shops, but due to the £8 price tag, I've never really considered using it, because how much better than liquid eyeliner can it really be?</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eUBNr7P6PrQ/TwB8QbgUzSI/AAAAAAAAAMU/H0ztPFMUhcc/s1600/DSCF0103%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="473" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eUBNr7P6PrQ/TwB8QbgUzSI/AAAAAAAAAMU/H0ztPFMUhcc/s640/DSCF0103%255B1%255D.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my personal opinion, it's not better than liquid eyeliner, well that's what I think after using it once, maybe I'm not used to it and haven't got a technique yet, but right now, my heart is still with liquid eyeliner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It doesn't appear to look much different to liquid eyeliner. I would imagine gel liner is less likely to 'crack' as some people notice with liquid, which is of course a plus and I'm sure some people would find the brush you get with gel much easier to handle and use. I'm not saying gel liner is a bad product, however with the £8 price tag, I don't think it's worth the money. I found it quite difficult to get both my eyes looking even, although that could be due to the terrible lighting in my bedroom and I had to put quite a lot on to get it looking black and even now I don't think it looks dark enough.<br />
<br />
It's purely down to personal opinion, as I know my sister is a fan of gel liner and prefers it too liquid. I would just rather pay £3 for liquid eyeliner, which may I add seems to last forever and I find much easier to apply! x</div>Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14400719119128676300noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457992051745130426.post-83205902204155511172011-12-26T13:20:00.000+00:002012-08-03T14:00:29.472+01:00Christmas Day.<div style="text-align: center;">
As cliche as it sounds, I really did have the best Christmas day I've ever had. Usually there is a bit of stress, or I'm really tired from getting up to early, but this year was totally different.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think as you get older, you get less enthusiastic about Christmas, so the first thing that was different about this year was that my mother actually had to wake up myself, my brother and sister, which was at 9am, a bit different to the usual 7am starts.<br />

Every year, my mother gets us all a little stocking, filled of just little things that we actually need and a few other things. My mother is amazing with this, I always need this sort of thing. She bought me two <b>Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse's</b>, which will last me ages, <b>Collection 2000 concealer </b>and <b>Maybelline Gel Liner and Mascara. </b>I haven't tried gel liner yet, as I've always been a liquid eyeliner girl and that is what I'm used to, but I'll try out the gel and probably post what I think of it and other beauty products I got in another post. I got a lot of <b>Skin System </b>products; cleanser, toner, face wipes and hand cream. some chocolate and the lovely Cat & Kittens Calendar, which is ridiculously cute!</div>

Excuse the terrible picture, but my camera was my main present, although I was more excited for the other things I had got. I'm not big on photography, so I just wanted a simple digital camera to use for when I'm out with friends and such, particularly because we are all going away to University in September, so I want to get a lot of pictures before that.</div>

My presents were just typical to be honest, there was clothes; a dress, shirt, cardigan and boobtube, slippers, Pj's, Earrings, Scarf and gloves, nail varnish etc. I do love the earrings from <b>imyourpresent</b> on etsy. I already want some more in a different colour!</div>

If I'm honest, my family aren't big on Christmas, my dad thinks it's a waste of time! I tried to make the table look as Christmassy as I could and I think I did alright. Christmas this year was the first time my older sister wasn't there, as she was spending Xmas in her own house and to be honest, it was a lot less stressful that usual. Dinner was nice, despite my dad not being impressed with the burping competition which followed.<br />

After dinner, I went to my boyfriends and we exchanged presents. I got him a t-shirt, chinos, a ticket for Skrillex, chocolate, a wallet, a mug and some love hearts. You can see what he bought me, I knew about all of it, but the shorts. I'd mentioned seeing them and loving them and he remembered and went and bought them for me! Have to say, my Johnny Cash top might just be my favourite!</div>

I've been after a good pink lipstick for a while now. I did buy a baby pink lipstick of MUA's range, but it didn't work well for me. It was quite watery and came off after only an hour or two. After looking online, I read good reviews about this particular lipstick. Barry M Lip paint and trust me, it is like paint. I put it on one evening before going out to a party, and woke up the next morning and it was still on, looking pretty good. Luckily, it does come off easily when you want it to.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;">This particular shade is No. 52 - Shocking pink. The GIF really doesn't do its intensity justice, but I have to be honest, I did just want to show off my eyelashes. (which by the way are eylure lashes, which I got free with Cosmopolitan magazine)</span></a></div>

This isn't my best picture, buy you can see the colour of the lipstick much better. It is very bright, so you need to feel confident enough to pull it off, otherwise you'll be worrying about why people are looking at you.<br />

I haven't bought that much lately, due to a complete lack of money, however I have found some bargains here and there, thank god! </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I found this shirt on the last day of the sale at Republic. It was only £10. It is a size twelve, which is two sizes bigger than I usually wear, but I couldn't resist. It's a cropped checked shirt and I have a massive love for checked shirts. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my favourite! I picked it up and wasn't that keen, I only tried it on because it was £10. Even after trying it on, I wasn't in love with it at all. Got to the till and it turned out to be only £5, was overly happy. I wore it one day to my boyfriends and it has now become my favourite item of clothing I own!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Have to admit, I didn't actually buy these. My mother went shopping and came back with them for me. I've been in need of a new black vest top for ages and I have two white strappy tops, so never needed a white vest, but I'm very happy I have them now. </div>

Safe to say, my mother knows me well. Lace tights have been a love of mine for about two years now, they can make an outfit so much better than if you wore plain tights, they make it more interesting and give you a whole new look.<br />

<b>It has to be said, I'm not one for camping. Being without all my things is a horrible thought, however when my friend asked me to go camping with her, I thought why not. I've been once before, last year to a small music festival in Yorkshire...I haven't quite got round to going to a mainstream festival just yet. I'm starting this post two weeks before I'm due to go and will slowly add to it, until I have everything I need.</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all, the toiletries. Because of it being a proper camp-site, I have the luxury of decent showers, thank god! I went out and spent about £15 on toiletries and yes I have just noticed it's practically all pink. I was going to buy travel size bottles, but they're pretty much the same price as these bigger ones, why waste my money? I have <i>Alberto balsam</i> shampoo and conditioner,<i> radox</i> shower gel, <i>sure </i>deodorant, <i>So...Kiss me </i>body spray, Colgate tooth paste and brush, <i>Wilkinson sword</i> razors,<i> Nivea </i>cleanser and moisturiser, cotton wool and a toiletry bag. Pretty good for £15, I think anyway. <br />
People tend to just use baby wipes while camping, because they're quick and easy, but I've always been one to take care of my skin, so I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that, so the cleanser and moisturiser were a must. Again, many people don't bother with shaving, which I can understand at a big music festival where the showers cost and are probably a bit of a state, but thankfully, I only have to spend time shaving. There is obviously no need to take all the razors, so I'll only be taking probably two. Luckily, nearly all of this fits into my toiletry bag, which is a bit of a miracle! Only the cleanser and moisturiser don't fit, but I'll be taking them in my handbag anyway.<br />

As well as that, I have sandals, incase the weather is actually decent one day! Pumps, ballet flats and four bottles of drink. I'm taking my doc martens as well, but I'll be wearing them on the way down there.<br />

I've always been around people who can sew. My nan, my mother and my sister and in year 9, I did textiles for D.T and found out I wasn't all that bad at it. However, it's only been the past year that I've started customizing my own clothes. If I got bored with clothes, I'd throw them out or to the back of my wardrobe and they'd be left, but the thought of throwing away clothes now horrifies me. Customizing your clothes is a great way of giving them a new lease of life!</div>

I bought this dress about two years ago and had never worn it out, but I liked it too much to get rid of it. I hadn't worn it because it was too long. It went down to just above my knees and I didn't like it. I'm not sure why I hadn't done it sooner, but I sewed the hem up to make it shorter and now I feel more comfortable wearing it.</div>

Back in the day when I was a bit of a scene kid, I loved Hello Kitty. This started life out as a average t-shirt, but when I put it on not long ago, I didn't like it and decided to cut it. I cut the collar and made it lower and also I cut the sleeves off and made the arm holes much longer down the sides. If you're going to do this, be aware that your bra will be visible, so it may be a good idea to wear a bandeau underneath.</div>

Once again, from my scene kid days, I had bright coloured jeans, these were criminal damage jeans. I simply cut the legs off to the size I wanted, trickiest part is getting the lengths the same on both legs.</div>

Finally, my band t-shirts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I refuse to ever throw these out, because they hold some good memories. Instead, I've just cut the sleeves off, but I've left the collar as it was, so I don't interfere with the t-shirt design.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've also made my own t-shirts out of fabrics I've bought, however they're being used as part of my A-Level work so I can't show you them. I've had people tell me they would wear them and a friend has actually asked me to make her a t-shirt!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Adding studs, buttons, etc to clothes is a great way of creating a new look. I'd definitely recommend to people to customise their clothes, but if you haven't had much practise, start with a clothing item that you wouldn't mind possibly wrecking, saves you ruining a top you love!</div>

So, despite the lack of decent weather we get over in the UK during Summer, every year I find myself around Spring time, spending my money on floral pieces, dresses, shoes and accessories. <br />
These are just a few of the pieces I've picked up lately.~<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Forever21 is one of my favourite stores at the moment,<i> </i>I feel so lucky I live in Birmingham, it means I have access to so many shops<i>. </i>I picked up both of these from Forever21. On the left is a floral, bandeau dress, which I can't remember the exact price for, but it was under £15. I loved it straight it and wanted it in different colours, but I stopped myself. It fits lovely and can be dressed up with black tights and heels, or dressed casually with sandals and a denim jacket.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the right is another floral item! This time a blue playsuit, which I believe was around £11. It has button detail down the centre and a tie at the waist. When the weather isn't that good, I would wear it with black tights, leather jacket and black boots. When the weather is good, I'd wear with ballet flats or sandals.</div>

I have to say, I haven't been a fan of H&M for a while. It seemed that for two years, I could never find anything I wanted there, but not long ago I went in and found loads! This was my first purchase. A beige tube skirt, with black horizontal stripes. it's flattering, perfect for summer and was only £4!</div>

This dress, which was my second purchase from H&M, I feel in love with immediately. I've wanted a cream dress for as long as I can remember, but I've never been lucky enough to find one I really like, until now. I got it in a size small, but sadly it is still a bit big around my waist, I'm not too worried about this, as I can just sew it to fit better. If my memory serves me correct, this was about £8, which I think is a great price.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now to shoes and accessories. After walked around town all day looking for some brown sandals, I came across these in New Look for £15. They are a great colour, as I think Tan brown is overly common these days and I will definitely be wearing them a lot this summer.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I should have a bag to match my sandals, plus I already have a black bag and a white bag, so I thought I needed a brown one too. I found this in Primark, for about £4 and although it looks quite small, I can fit everything I need in it.</div>

I'm loving the feather trend that has came back. I still have peacock feather earrings from last time, but I saw these for about £2 and had to have them. They are a lovely green/blue colour. Again, I saw this daisy clip + bobble and loved it. I think it can make outfits look really summery, even when the weather is rubbish.</div>

Making this post has made me want to go shopping again, I will resist the urge to, I spend enough money on clothes as it is.</div>Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14400719119128676300noreply@blogger.com2
