A £4 FLORAL MAXI DRESS FROM WAREHOUSE!

I hope you all had a mucho dandy weekend? I started and ended mine at the Manchester Christmas markets, which I loved! with some Go-karting, Antiques shopping and a trip to Cheshire Oaks thrown in for good measure- where I picked up this bargainous £4 dress from Warehouse- not too shabby hey! I teamed it with some comfy black boots from Varanni in Manchester, this chunky grey belt from Ebay and this vintage necklace which I really should wear more often, and I have matching earrings to also. I can't for the life of me remember buying them so I think it was a presnt. I also popped on my fave black sequin ring from a MFN sample sale. Now, back to work... and reality after a fun filled 2 days off :(... doh.

SEXY MONOCHROME LAYERS!

Thursday already huh! Well, I hope your weeks going well so far? I've had a fun time unpacking boxes of late (due to my recent house move), which seems an endless job and I still can't find my most loved possession which is my Armani bag! Arrrgggghhh. grrr and booo.

Anywho, I wore this the other day, which consists of a simple black hook and eye fastening pencil skirt which was 50p on a car boot sale, teamed with a bustier trompe l'oeil tee from Peacocks, with a black shrug from the market and a classic white short sleeve vintage jacket which was a present.
I popped on some classic black boots and red lippy to finish it off and add a hint of colour to the monochrome ensemble.
And... before you mention it, I know the rug looks crappy and hides my footwear! I'm changing my layout very soon so this little hallway won't be featured any longer, and nor will my hideous rug! ;)

£2.50 DRESSES & KILLER HEELS!!

I did'nt even get chance to get a pic of myself yesterday as I worked so late and then forgot! My life is somewhat chaotic at the moment with decorating a new place, moving, as well as packing and preparing for the Pure Exhibiton in London! and a fashion shoot tomorrow!!!
I love to be busy but I am somewhat overfaced! ( Even for me!)

Anywho, I wore this the other day to go to a joint 30th party, which again wen't on until the early hours of the morning! The dress was a bargain from Ebay for just £2.50 and was knee length so I shortened it and teamed some classic black leggings underneath. My killer animal print heels were also a bargain from Primark for £6 in the sale. I accessorised with some cheap gold earrings from Manchester market for £2 and popped on my classic red lipstick for a touch of rouge!...

80'S CHRISTMAS JUMPERS!

Happy December peeps! I can't tell you how excited I am for the big day! I intend to celebrate the fact its December by having a mulled wine at The North Pole tonight, followed by watching Home Alone or Bad Santa to get me into the festive mood! Christmas is without doubt, my favourite time of year and I embrace it like an 8 year old, with my Barbie advent calender and by watching a cheesy Christmas film every day in the run up to the 25th!

So, as its that (very fabulous) time of year it seems appropriate to get out my favourite vintage Christmas Jumper which I bought for the unbelievable price of 50p on a Car Boot Sale! I would have paid £50 I love it so much! It looks so fabulous as it is, I threw on some leggings and some big gold studs with my over the knee suede boots to complete the look! If I only I had more of these classic vintage jumper dresses!!!.... aha!, something to add to my (ever growing) Christmas list!! ;)

I had a lovely evening last night, out celebrating the fact Pretty Disturbia has been shortlisted for a Drapers Etail Award in the Best New Etailer Catagory!! Not too Shabby hey! So, I took a look at the Xmas Markets in Albert Square before having a delicious meal in Livebait and then onto Restaurant, Bar, Grill for Berrini fuit coctails!! A delightful evening in Manchester!!...

I did'nt get too dressed up, as it was Wednesday after all! I wore a brown polo neck from Hungary with matching Leggings from H&M, This dress which I got in an discount outlet shop for just £10, a Pearl/Diamante necklace from Marks and Spencers £20, and this Classic yellow cardigan from Primark £7!
I wore my old faithful leather cow boots for warmth and comfort, it is Manchester after all so in true Manchester style, it rained with a brisk winter chill in the air! .....I really can't wait for Christmas!!!.....
