October Wish List

Having just started a new job, I do not get paid for another month therefore, am a very poor girly. So I do what the best of us can only do, lust over beautiful things on the internet. So here's my October Wish list!

1. This beautiful Leather Look Skirt is from Lavish Alice and is £20. I have been lusting over this ever since it entered their site, about a month or two ago. Considering that I have had a gander at this skirt every day since I first laid eyes on it, you'd have thought I'd have somehow pulled together the brilliant price of £20 to buy it. But trust me, I'm that poor I cannot. However, it will be my #1 thing to buy as soon as I can! 

2. I have literally only just come across this Romwe Dress since it's not a site I tend to visit every day. No reasons why, since they have beautiful things. I am in love with skater-style dresses as I find they really compliment my figure as I'm not the skinniest of girls, and I need to try and embrace my curves with what I wear, otherwise I just look like a potato.  I also adore Collars as I think they're a simple yet beautiful detail to any dress or shirt.

3. This Denim Shirt is just my kind of shirt! Denim and a dark acidy kind of wash. However, I haven't been a biggest fan of studded collars as they seem to be on every girl I pass by in the street. But that doesn't mean I don't think they're not great on some things, but only the right things!

4. This Skeleton Key necklace is both pretty yet semi edgy. Can give any outfit a slight gothic look. 

5. I have wanted a scrabble tile ring for YEARS! And once again, I mention I am too poor to even afford £2 on a ring. Okay, that's a lie, that's the average I spend on wine per day, but still. I will get round to purchasing this on pay day. 

6. Oh my dear God aren't these beautiful! I found these Burgundy Velvet Boots on the New Look website but they are in fact Rocket Dog. I never spend enough money on shoes, I have a fair few pairs but they're always cheapy ones from Primark. Not that I don't love Primark, but they fall apart after a few months. I would love to just go all out and buy a buy that cost my £60, not £5. Now, these boots have everything I love about shoes- Laces, ankle support, Burgundy and VELVET. Anyone who knows me knows my wardrobe consists of far too much velvet, but that can just be my one little wardrobe vice! 

My week with Instagram

1. Organising the payment of our house's shop. 2. My poor shattered nails. 3. The love of my childhood. 4. An old friendship reunited. 5. My mother's glitter nail varnish I used. 6. £16 of Indian food for myself. 7. Mermaid nails. 8. Returning home to finding my pants hung about the house. 9. The perks of being a wallflower. 10. I work at Dominos. 11. Too. Much. Free. Pizza. 12. A selfy. 13. Lunch at the Harvester. 14. Tartan. 15. Barry M magnetic nail varnish. 16. London Irish supporter right here!!

I really want to get into proper blogging. And I will. It's just lack of a decent camera. And lack of money for any nice things. Plus I've been working a lot. Things in life will come together soon though. I hope.

My Super-duper dry hair cure

A few years back decided that packet-dying my hair all sorts of colours was a brilliant idea, that was, until I killed my hair and had to have it all chopped off. It took me almost 2 years to get it back to it's lovely natural blonde colour. But, alas, I finally did it. I swore to myself to never packed-dye it again, because it caused more trouble than it was worth.

However, about a month back, I was fairly poor and my hair was getting darker, so I thought 'hey, one time won't hurt!' It did. Now, I dread washing my hair as it becomes so dry and so knotty it looks as if I have dreadlocks!! That was until I found the little gem also known as 'Argan Oil' which sorted my dry hair right out. 

Applying it to towel-dry hair after washing it, it makes my hair feels so silky and smooth. It also smells delicious!

Now, I was in Boots and there was so much choice of brands and prices I had no idea which to go for. However, Boots had a 3 for 2 offer on all hair products, so I decided to get the brand above which cost £11.99 for 100ml. And I also bought 2 of the Lee Stafford Argan oil pictured below. Purely because my mum wanted a bottle as she swears by it. 

I have now tried out both Argan oils and can 100% say I much prefer the Lee Stafford, even though it was a massive £12.99 for 50ml! The Oil pictured above doesn't have a particular smell, and didn't feel as silky in my hair. However the Lee Stafford just makes me smile every time I smell it (I know I need a life!!)

So, if you're having problems with dry and knotty hair, especially dry hair, I say Argan Oil is a very suitable and helpful product. It may seem quite expensive for such a little amount, but you only need a couple of squirts each time you use it and the 50ml bottle seems to last forever!

'Smile and wave boys'

Just though I'd share a few of my favourite nail designs I've done over the past few weeks. Sorry the penguins are rather messy, took the picture before I cleaned up as I was too darn excited. How you enjoy!

Country Gal

Hat - Camden Market

Cardigan - Newlook

Playsuit - Newlook

Tights - Debenhams

I'll tell you what, I miss the countryside! I moved to down by the seaside about a week ago and as much as I love it by the beach, the country walks are the best. As is my Camden trilby. It goes with everything to give you that quirky look. As do large-knit tights. Cool but warm at the same time, genius!

Rainy days

Hair band - Newlook

Crop-top - Newlook

Maxi skirt and belt - Newlook

Having had to make a career move and leave my beloved job and discount, I thought a last minute shopping spree at Newlook was in order. I am in absolute love with these cute little crop-tops that have come to light, however, I am very body conscious so always make sure to wear them with something high waisted. Maxi skirts are a fave to high my pasty legs and stay comfortable! 

Today we went and had a pier day. Spent way too much money on the 2p slot machines, and it was pouring with rain, but overall, a lovely day!
