Stylish Blogger Award

I have been meaning to do this for ages. I have been awarded the stylish blogger award by two lovely ladies, Charlotte and Amy you should check out their blogs! :) Thank you!

My seven facts that are not that interesting haha sorry girls!

1. As much as I love The Strokes, Bloc Party, Libertines and We are Scientists. Deep down my all time favourite band, much to the disgust of my friends, is the Backstreet Boys. There I said it. I have been completely in love with Nick Carter since I was 9. I have managed to see them 3 times, each time better than the last.

2. I am an ebay freak. I am obsessed with selling things on ebay, so much so that when I visit people houses I take their rubbish home with me. My ebay listings are extremely random. I am at the Post Office so often that they know me by name!

3. I don't like tea or and hot drinks. I tried Tea at The Ritz but could not manage to drink it. I just do not like the taste. Give me diet coke any day!

4. My favourite programme is Sex and the City. I have watched it god knows how many times. I still think Carrie should have stayed with Aiden.

5. I adore high heels, the higher the better. But alas I cannot walk in them. I am famous in my group of friends for falling over. They even have a bet between them on what time I will fall over during a night out.

6. I used to be a complete tomboy. I regularly went to watch West Ham with my dad and at one point could tell you anything about football in any league. I spent my life in tracksuits, my favourite one used to be a bright orange Kappa one. I thought I was Sporty Spice.

7. I love gigging. In fact I could go to a gig everyday and would choose it over clubbing anyday. I have been neglecting live music for the last few years. In my younger days it was all I used to spend my money on. However I have decided to get back into the swing of things. I have three lined up already this year and am looking to add to it. I NEED TO SEE THE STROKES!

Not the most exciting outfit today but i've been having a coursework day. I have managed to complete a 1500 word essay, you have no idea how pleased I am! I will not be beaten by uni work ha! I'm having a bit of a break now and waiting for the boy to come round. I found this necklace and have fallen in love all over again. I think I brought it on my gap year when I was extremely flash with my cash haha! I was working full time and spend far too much money when in hindsight I should have saved! Ahhhh those were the days of endless shopping!

I'm not planning on doing anything tonight because my bank account is feeling extremely sorry for itself. My boyfriend did offer to pay for me to go to the cinema tonight, we both want to see The Fighter. Mmmmm Mark Whalberg! I said no because I feel bad taking his money when he very generously got me Coco Madamoiselle from his trip to Ireland. Its an early Valentines gift :) But I am so drained from uni work that I am desperate to go out so I might just take him up on his offer and pay him back when my ebay dosh comes through.

Has anyone got any exciting plans for Valentines Day?

Me and the boy don't usually celebrate it as our anniversary is on the 30th January, we have both decided that that is more important. I have however raided Tescos and brough their £15 finest meal deal. I brought chorizo and cheese chicken, green beans and new potatoes with chocolate pudding for afters. All washed down with a lovely bottle of rose cava. Perfect! Now we just have to agree on a film to watch, I think i'm going to push for something girly!
Hope you are all having a lovely weekend :)

In the spring time

I am completely in love with the SS11 collection at Primark. They have really stepped up their game. In fact i'm choosing to shop there now instead of having too because of lack of funds. In my opinion it does not "look" like Primark. My friends are always shocked when I mention my outfit is from Primark, the beach print dress as a prime example. My Primark is still a bit rubbish but I recently went to the Marble Arch branch and it was amazing. I'm planning a special trip there when I get paid.

These are a few pieces on my wishlist!
I need this skirt! I don't think I would wear with it with that jumper, it just seems to heavy. It is even better in the flesh and such a bargain at £16. Seriously this needs to be mine!I adore this whole outfit. Those platforms are too die for! The hat will be perfect for my holiday and it is only £4. I am loving all these knee skimming dresses and skirts, I think Im too old to be flashing my bum now. I prefer to be a bit more ladylike!
I am having a serious love affair with wide leg trousers and due to my height they should be perfect. I am 5ft 8. But I'm not sure if they will be that flattering. I am bottom heavy and I just don't know if they will suit my large bum! I suppose I will just have to try them on! It is my favourite colour combination of red and navy too!
I spotted this dress in Look magazine this week and it only intensified my need for it even more! Again what a perfect outfit to wear on holiday! It is a tad expensive at £17, I remember when Primark dresses used to be a tenner max! But they are improving their quality so it is justified.
I have been on the look out for this for ages! It was supposed to be in stores at the end of Jan but I have yet to come across it. If anyone finds it in a London or Essex store will you please let me know? I need to own this and Ill get my boyfriend to make a special trip to where it is! Ill bribe him with Pie and Mash, it usually works haha!
