Haven't posted in a while

I haven't posted in aaaages because I've been waiting for a lot of my clothes to be delivered! Tomorrow I'm going to take pictures of my new purchases which I'm so excited to finally have, after wanting them for a long time now. I wore the outfit in the picture above yesterday when I spent the day with my mum, just taking to dog to the parlour to get washed and cut for the last time this year before it gets really cold, and I bought a really nice cardi in a charity shop which I'll show tomorrow. I'm a massive fan of NiaSays on youtube, and in her latest haul, she reviewed these Topshop studded flats which I've been lusting after for quite a while now but didn't want to spend £28 on something I didn't want, when I could get 2 pairs of shoes from New Look with my discount for that price. She said that they are well worth it basically so I thought, you know what, I'm just going to buy them. I love them so much I wore them today at work as well. The only bad thing I'd say about them which I doubt would affect a lot of people, is that I always lean on the sides of my feet when I'm standing still, and the inside of the studs dig into your feet if you do that which actually really hurt. But I guess I shouldn't be leaning like that anyway aha. 

I wear my Strokes tee a lot and to bed as well, I just love it, and of course it has the Strokes on the front so that makes it even better. I got if off of eBay in a size Large, and cut the sleeves off. My coat is from eBay as well and has a brown fur collar. The jeggings are from New Look and I would highly recommend getting jeggings as a posed to to jeans. They're just so much more comfortable and just generally better as you don't have to worry about your flies falling down or any crap like that.

HAMSA BABY

I printed out some pictures that I had been collecting to use for the front cover of my sketchbook for my fashion course. The picture of the mouth in the top left corner was just a black and white photo that I printed out and coloured in the lips in red. 

The whole thing isn't finished yet because I want to have pictures of various different Jeffrey Campbell shoes running down the length of the right side, printed in colour though. I really should have been finished off my sketches of 1950s skirts (that's our topic) but I just wanted to get this done cause it had been bothering me that I just had a plain book. I'm not sure if I like what I've done though on the front cover. I'm planning on putting black glitter all over the bits that I don't put pictures on though to 'jazz' it up a bit. It looks a lot better in real life.

So my HAMSA bracelet arrived today! SO happy as I really was excited to get it. I got it from 'Dolly Bow Bow' and post and packaging was only £1!! Crazy right! The bracelet cost £6-7 which I think is really good as it is gorgeous. I never would buy jewellery for that much, a bracelet especially as I don't ever wear bracelets, but I just had to get it!

So I got a tattoo on Saturday..

 

I've been wanting to get this tattoo for AGES and I wanted it to be the first one that I ever got. I know it's ridiculously simple and just an outline etc, but i LOVE it and I'm so happy with it. It's on the side of my arm/wrist like on the bone running down your arm, so I got two of the most painful things tattoo-wise; on the bone and an outline. I got something so simple to see if I could handle the pain, because if I had got some really intricate piece for my first tattoo and I couldn't handle the pain, I would have just told them to stop and would have ended up with a grotty half finished tattoo. I have so many plans for other tattoos that I want to get, but I need to really think about them before I get them. 

I took this picture the day I got it done so that's why you can still see the plaster marks.

After work, my mum just randomly said " do you want that tattoo today?" and i was like 

YESSSSSSSS

so yeh, ha, my mum is too sweet <3

I'm meant to be getting ready for work

 

I decided to put studs of 3 other shirts that I have. I found the floral peter pan collard shirt the other day and I thought I had lost it! I can't wait to wear it with a black crew neck jumper. I think I mean crew neck anyway..

5TUD5

So I bought some black studs, (they're gorgeous) and decided to put them on the collar of this gorgeous pale blue cotton shirt that I bought in a charity shop a couple of days ago. I might do a big haul tomorrow as I don't have college, so the daylight situation will be all gurd.

So yes, the collars. Wow, I absolutely love how they turned out. It was really simple to do and a bag of 25 black studs cost £4.97 or something close to that, but a bag of 50 was like £5-something, so I don't actually know why I didn't just pay like a pound more to get 25 more. But to be honest, why would I need 50? Everything I own would end up being covered in studs.

JEWELLERY HAUL

FINALLY I'm posting the haul I said that I would a couple of days ago.

But because I've left it to the evening again when the lighting is ridiculous in my room, I'm just going to post jewellery.

Everyone has a 'thing' that they love to buy; some people love shoes, others like bags, but mine is jewellery. Literally, every time that I go shopping I can guarantee you that I will come back with like one top, but 5 pieces of jewellery. So I thought I'd show some of what I have picked up this month.

I don't like to throw anything away, so I've just reattached some of the jewellery to the tags that they came in cause I obviously have worn them.

I actually got these for my birthday which was at the beginning of the month, BUT I went into topshop just the other day and they were in the sale for £3.50 when my mum paid £10 for them! Literally outrageous. They're really nice though, but for £10, you'd expect the snakeskin detailing to be at least faux leather, but no, they're just stickers.

These are actually one of my favourites. I wear these nearly everyday cause I love the whole 'spike/stud' fashion, and my hair covers my left ear always (my left ear lobe piercing is a tunnel so I can only wear one earring, until I get my 2nd piercings), so I like when you can subtly see the spikes through my hair. I like little things like that lol. These were £3.90 I think, which is crazily cheap as you can imagine them in topshop being around £10. I love when people always compare the cheapness of an item with the overpriced items in topshop.

These gorgeous earrings were from a random store on eBay. I literally just typed in silver cross earrings, and this came up. They were like £1 and were free p+p. I literally could not believe it. They're so cute! I say literally too much.

I have been wanting this ring for absolute AGES but didn't want to pay the over-priced amount, yes this ring is from topshop, how could you tell? I got it in the sale for £3.50 which is really good. It's more of a burnt burgundy colour, not like this picture is making it out to be. I always think that whenever topshop have a sale, they actually are just selling things for the amount that they should be! The clothes at least.

I'm not actually sure about this bracelet. I don't usually wear bracelets as I prefer to wear bulky rings so I think that it sometimes looks just a bit too much and unnecessary. I loved the triangular detailing on this bracelet though so had to buy it. It was also in the sale for £3.50 so I kind of had to buy it.

I haven't actually worn this yet because I think that the metal is a bit too fake looking, so I'd have to wear it with something very simple, but I'm just not sure what exactly I'd wear it with. It cost £2.50.

I got this in the asos sale because it just looked amazing on the model. It goes behind the ear, so it's a type of cuff thing, and wow, I just can't wait to wear it out as it came today in the post. Ahh I was so excited when it finally came! I think it was under £2, and I just love ittttt.

I got this from a random eBay store as well, for less then £2. If you probably couldn't tell by now, I love bargain jewellery and just thought that this was crazy cute. A nice simple stone ring.

 

I loved this because of the gorgeous turquoise stones on the cross. I'm trying to get more and more silver jewellery until I'm forced to wear it lol. I think it's always such a gorgeous element to most outfits and changes up the look, for me at least it would as I ALWAYS wear gold. I got this from asos and I think it was less then £6, but I'm not sure. 

So I'd been hearing a lot about how topman jewellerry is really good and apparrently is sometimes better than topshop jewellery? Well I don't agree with the latter, however I did find this triangle necklace for 70% off. It cost me about £3-something as it cost £12 originally. I would no way have spent £12 on it, until I had looked everywhere and couldn't find a similar triangular necklace, and luckily I found it in the sale!

Another buy from a random eBay store. I thought they were cute and would add a simple touch to any outfit.

I love this ring. To death. It was £2.50-£3.50. That is all.

I know that these aren't jewellery, obviously but I thought I'd put these in. The red on the right was bought for me, but the colour is really red, if you know what I mean lol, and I'm trying to understand why anyone would like the colour red, as I've always hated red. The one on the left is really nice though, a sort of vampy red colour. I lovvve it. It's almost black with 3 coats.

The endddddd ha.

Haul Post Postponed..

I'm not going to post my haul from today's shopping spree until tomorrow cause like I've previously said, the lighting in my room at night is literally terrible.

I spent about £100 today I think, and I really can't wait to post what I've bought!!
