Me and my Rocco *cough* Inspired love

A little while ago a group of chicas on twitter were twit picking each other this sexy bag.....errrrm hello I want in people, and of course I got in lol

At the time this sexy little Wang Rocco knock off (if you must) was only available from buyers abroad. So I decided to be a patient bunny and hold out until a UK ebay seller caught wind of this so I could order from them. I ordered from HERE for those of you already screaming at the screen where did I get it. The one I ordered is sadly out of stock, never fear though, there are a few other UK sellers doing there thing in the Wang *cough* inspired game.

All together including p&p this baby came to £32 which isn't bad for the size and quality of it. Even though I still lust for this one HERE and I vow to have it sitting in my room by the end of the year (after I get my car!) this baby is definitely my new friend *looks in mirror, puts shades on and pouts*

Lese Shoes


Thanks to the world of twitter I discovered a new company called Lese Shoes. I read their description box which said....

-The online loyalty shoe store -BUY SHOES -EARN POINTS -NEVER PAY FULL PRICE FOR A PAIR OF SHOES AGAIN-

Instantly my jaw dropped and like the shoe whore I am I headed over to their site instantly. At first I was thinking that if I'm earning points buying shoes that the shoes would have to be slightly overpriced right...... errrm wrong!

I clicked on the option 'brunch shoe' instantly fell in love with the ELLE wedges and chucked them in my basket. Although I was a tad skeptical ordering from a company I had just heard of, it was late, I was tired I wanted shoes and these babies were definitely worth the risk. This little moment of weakness occurred at 11pm Tuesday night and they arrived this morning, (2 days later) rather speedy Id say.

I now have 30 Lese points on my account and I believe that 20 points is equal to £5. I'm too impatient to let them build up so I shall be getting these babies for £20. Scweeeeet. Oh and I forgot to mention, delivery is free : D

If your a shoe lover like me you can check out their site HERE and follow their updates on twitter HERE

CHARM-ing bargains

So I'm a fan of all bracelets small and rustic, whether they are charms on string or just a plain leather strap. I always seem to be drawn to these simple yet attractive pieces of jewellery.

These babies (£1.99 H & M) caught my eye instantly. Available in an array of colours I could have easily purchased them all! Seen as these babies were placed right by the till (argh!!!) I found myself uncontrollably chucking them down on top of the pile of my clothing being scanned through the till -_- . Eventually I told myself "NO" and settled for these 3.

I'm loving H&M at the moment, they are stocking a lot of these these type of bracelets which is all good for me, and I'm pretty sure they have loads on deal too. I shall definitely be making a return visit!

Desperately Seeking Owain...

The stuff leather dreams are made of, this needs to be mine. Iv been loving this jacket for months now and its only the last couple of days where I thought "screw it, I'm placing an order" especially when my friend informed me she could get 25% off whoop whoop

£195 from All Saints, I headed over to the site to discover there were only a couple of sizes left. But to my horror when I refreshed the page my eyes were assaulted by the following message.... This item is sold out! At this very moment in time I'm not a happy bunny : (, But after searching the web trusty EBay has come to the rescue, thing is I'm not too keen on the prices these sellers are trying to sling these jackets for. I mean £285 hmmmm, I can only hope All Saints bring this baby back into store.

So if any of you see this about or notice its come back into stock, or even know of any jackets that are of close resemblance, please let me know.

Owain- you will be mine *crosses fingers*

Bags And Chains Excite Me....

Hey ladies, Just a quick post....
Yesterday I met up with Shirley for a spot of shopping and my new drug.. Chocolate cream frappucino lol.

Just thought I would share on here a couple of pieces I picked up, as I did a haul with Shirley already (up soon) But these a just a few bargain pieces I think you should check out.

Firstly Primark have gone there and totally ripped off the classic box shaped Topshop bag. There was a manky white one on the shelf and I wasn't too sure where they were going with that : / but then I saw this beautiful tan one. It doesn't look at all like it came from Primark. So much so when I whipped it out my bag to show my friend her exact words were "That's nice, is it from Topshop (insert gasp) its from Primark" . For £9 people this is an actual steal.

Secondly the black patent bag that caught my eye whilst I was queuing up. Cute and classic, it has a long strap which is always a must for me and it looks a whole lot more expensive than it actually was *cough cough* £7

And last but not least, whilst I was waiting for Shirley (She was late *shakes head* LOL) I picked up a couple pieces from the GoGo Philip range in Topshop. Im a lover of teeny charms on necklaces so this cute cross £5.50 and heart £7.50 were right up my street. There is another piece I'm lusting for from that stand, and I totally forgot to go back and get it, I now have that annoying "why didn't u just pick it up feeling" inside. I will definitely have to go back.

Anyhoo, I had a lovely day apart from when I had a chunk of MSF natural planted in the middle of my head in Mac!! .....whole other story lol, hope you enjoyed the post.x

Bargain Bikini's...

On an emergency run to find a bikini for an impromptu trip to the Sanctuary, I stumbled across some bargains in H&M. Not wanting to spend a bomb the £3.99 price tag was very much appealing to me.

With different pieces you can choose from to mix and match, I opted for a standard black and a lovely bright print ( that looks amazing with a tan) before I had to make the sensible decision to calm myself.

It was the plunging V on the front of these bikini tops that sold me, I thought it was very cute. Not to mention the fact you can tie the back and that they include a removable halter neck strap.

These bikinis look very cute on, but I would suggest that whatever size you are, you go bigger in the bottoms. When I got home it was all a tad "hello bum cheek"

There were loads to choose from, so if your looking to add to your collection without spending a bomb, this could be the way to go.

Fingers Crossed....

Hey girls, sorry for the lack of posting, I have been a tad busy as I'm starting my new job soon *YAY* as well as that I'm also the beauty editor for Champagne and Stilletos so if you don't find me here, I might be there.... Anyway enough with the life stories, onto the post!

When I saw this double finger cross ring on Sammi a while back, I instantly had to have it, but as per usual with the luck I have they were sold out everywhere *insert sad face* but the other day when online shopping with Shirley over twitter (LOL) I discovered ASOS had them back in stock. They had gold and silver, as you can see I went for the silver. They were doing free next day delivery at the time to so overall it was a very happy moment for me -_-

The first ring I received broke!! (sad times) But ASOS promptly replaced it with another through my door the next day *hi five to them*. So if you want to get your hands on one of these rings I would do it now before its too late, its only £8. CLICK HERE

Secondly I just thought Id include whats on my nails right now. Its Avon matte polish in inky blue, I'm really loving it but I have come to realise that matte polish chips like a biatch.

Anyhoo I hope everyone's well, til the next post adios.....x

Bargains All Round

Hey ladies so sorry I have been MIA for the past few days, I have had a rather crazy weekend. But fear not I'm back with a post, and its a little random at that. Today I thought Id share with you a couple of things I'm loving from two ends of the spectrum.... Fashion and Beauty


First up we have Superdrugs Vitamin E creams, One for the day and one for the night. At £2.99 I cant stress enough what a worthwhile bargain these creams are. They keep my skin looking radiant, feeling soft and constantly hydrated. Neither of them are greasy, The night cream isn't too heavy and it leaves your skin feeling baby bum soft. The day cream soaks into the skin nicely leaving you the perfects canvas to apply your make up, It also has the added bonus of SPF 15.

I also have very sensitive skin, so I'm wary as to what touches it. I haven't had a single issue with these. I definitely think you should try these for a couple weeks next time your moisturiser runs out.

Next up..... The Aviator

I have wanted one on these for ever. With the one I had my eye on costing a whopping £150 I controlled myself knowing that one day I would find one that looked just like it.


And Primark does it again!! as soon as I saw this I had to double take, just to make sure I was actually in the right shop.


They payed attention to every single detail, from the buckles to the zips. The best thing is that it looks exactly the same as the £150 one I was eyeing up, but of course its not leather.

I think you all will agree it was a steal at £25 !!! although I do remember the days when a jacket in Primark cost no more than £15, where are they going with their prices nowadays *ROLLS EYES*

Style Without The Sound

Yesterday I took advantage of the ASOS 20% discount and free next day delivery, not full advantage mind....... as I haven't even started Christmas shopping yet : /

I placed my order at around 4pm yesterday, and my door was being knocked at 7am this morning.......

I whittled down 10 pieces of jewellery to 2, please don't ask me how, this is some what of a miracle to me too. I picked up these babies because they were so simple put different. I'm not really a fan of bling, but I was drawn to these like a moth to a flame.

You don't even wear them like you would a standard chain, they simply just hang round your neck. I hope I don't lose them ........


I also picked up this tusk bracelet, which looks A-MAZ-ING on. Is it possible to love a piece of jewellery?

The best thing is the price
Head phone necklace £11.00 HERE
Tusk bracelet £6 HERE
I know Asos offer a free delivery as standard, so I think I will be popping over there soon to pick up the treasure I had to leave behind.


Did any of you take advantage.......

Winter addiction

Im in trouble this winter,and this is why




No no,its not a blanket,its my new scarf,hand knitted by my friends mummy.


Its so nice,all I did was wrap it round my neck on the day she told me it was finished,and everyone in the room first gasped "omg where did you get it from" followed by "oh I want one"


Everyday im praying for a small blizzard to hit,so I can whip this baby out.


Its so warm,thick and cosy.No high street store scarf has got sh*t on this.

I also love the fact that nobody else will own anything remotely the same.

You cant even get the wool she used to knit this aymore.


I saw another scarf she had just finished knitting the other day,and if it was physically possible for someones jaw to hit the floor,mine would have.

Next time I go round I shall take pictures. Im going to be placing my next order fairly soon.This is the start of a very beautiful addiction.

So what do you think,do you like my scarf? and do you like owning things that others just cant pop down to the high street to buy?

Making A Comeback

Ladies some of you might already know,some of you may not,but the Espadrille is making a comeback.In my eyes,their one of those things that are so wrong there right.

Now I must admit (lol) the pair up top arnt that bad,trust me I have seen worse.I could see myself rocking these with some skinnies or a pair of overly baggy ripped jeans.

I know some of you are probably thinking,Michelle,what is wrong with you.But I always keep an open mind when it comes to fashion and footwear.I always used to diss things in the past,then a few months later id be wearing it.Uggs were a big example of that.

So here comes the question ladies......

What do you think of Espadrilles,and do you reckon by the time summer is over you may have a small collection of them stashed in the back of the wardrobe?

Its our little secret,I wont tell anyone

Harem Pants

The Harem,you either love them or hate them.I am an avid lover.I have 3 pairs and I want more.I need to find me a nice pair of 3/4 length ones.

Last year around these times when the sun was always out,I rocked mine on a regular basis with my gladiators and a casual tight fitting vest.I also dressed up my black pair of haremes by wearing black patent heels and a lace body underneath,not to blow my own trumpet but I must say I looked quite amazing hehe.

Heres a quick example of how you can dress them up.....

And how you can dress them down.

Some say to only wear them with tight fitting tops,but im a rebel and I break rules.I think short baggy (not cropped) vests look just as good with harems as do tight ones.

(GI)

Like I said I personally love them,they near enough go with anything and they are so so so comfortable.

So what do you think ladies LOVE them or HATE them?

Casual Outfit Of The Other Day

My first ever outfit of the day,well the other day. Excuse the crap in the back lol,yes my room was in tip mode.Oh and by the way,Im not a one of those that wear my sunglasses inside lol,the sun was actually shining and I was heading out.Today just happened to be a black and white day,although im usually in print or colour.It was one of those times I just had to throw on a T-Shirt and leggings.(sounds like something a small child would wear hehe)

Sheer Baggy T-H&M
Boots-Simmi
Leggings-Primarni

I was wearing these accessories.My trusty aviators,heart locket and my ring that is probably the one thing I never leave my house without.My mum bought it when she was 16,and gave it to me when I was 16,vintage baby lol.

So thats it really,im stuck on what else to say,oh apart from how nice was the weather today,It was actually warm,fingers crossed it stays this way.

Craving Jewellery

Im in love with all things delicate,and Im not talking about anything thats creepy and can crawl.Im talking about delicate pieces of jewellery.Bt the only brand I have come across that seems to do cute necklaces,that sit around the collar bone area,and bracelets that I just love are Dogeared.Im still yet to get my hands on a piece,but I always manage to spend my funds on something else.Heres a couple of things that are on my wish list

Dogeared Gold Dipped Wonderful World Necklacekarma necklace, gold dipped
The price is a bit out there considering what you get,but I cant seem to find a cheaper alternative anywhere.Since I lost my old necklace,my neck just feels naked.I need something small and delicate to hang round my neck.Im also loving pieces with small coloured stones/crystals

If anyone knows of any sites where I can get something cute to accompany my neck,please please let me know.The hunt is venturing beyond a joke : (

Someone please make this search end...
