CHRISTMAS RED AND SNOWY WHITE KNITS!

Happy Christmas eve-eve-eve....Eve peeps! Not long now hey! Just 4 days to go to the big day! With that in mind, I've managed to dress quite festive for the most part of December, and this outfit is no exception! My red polo neck was bought from a little boutique in Hungary, which I teamed with this lil black shrug from Manchester Markets for £5! With it, I wore this lovely knitted traffic people skirt which was £10 in a sale- its oober fab, with harlequins and trumpets on it- very kitsch! I wore, black velvet leggings for warmth, and accessorised with this lovely bag from Tkmaxx which was a much loved present, with my diamante belt and a funky pendant. I'm also wearing lil red boots to match for another touch of claret! 
This may be my last post for 2010, so I wish you all a very sparkly, fun filled festive Christmas and all the best for 2011! xx

SKINNY JEANS, PATCHWORK LEATHER & A BATWING 80'S TOP!

Can you believe its just 11 days to Christmas!!! Madness indeed!!! I'm tres excited and have really gone to town on it this year, with a Christmas tree in every room and I've even made my own wreath! :) 
I never usually wear jeans, but as I was only going round to someones house on Saturday and wanted to wear this big glam top, I made the exception! The top is stunning, and an original vintage 80s' batwing sequin top- I've never worn it and I've had it years! I teamed it with my oldest skinny jeans, some lil red boots and this vintage patchwork leather bag, which was just £5 from a Charity shop in Chester! I accessorised simply with my much loved Biba chunky bracelet to finish it off! x

BAGGY TROUSERS, WITH LACE AND A TOUCH OF EGYPT!

A weird and wonderful description of an outfit indeed!... I wore this on Friday for a Christmas date which started out at the Ballet exhibition at the Lowry- The Quays and then onto a night in Chester, which was magical! The outfit consists of this gorgeous cream lace/ knitted polo neck top which I bagged up from Elite Dress agency in Manchester for £20. I teamed it with these fabulous wide leg trousers from All Saints which were £50 and I accessorised with a lovely, big, jangly necklace from Egypt as well as my much loved Galliano belt from Flannels which was £45 in the sale! For once, I'm not wearing something from a Car boot sale! ;)

BEADED CAPES, BODY CONS AND BIG HAIR!

As you can tell, I felt festive again! I wen't out to Tiger Lounge and for a chinese last weekend and wore this little black body con from H&M- £15, teaming it with this stunning beaded silver and black cape which I picked up from a car boot sale for just £5!!!  It's the first time I wore it even though I've had it years! I matched it with these gorgeous silver sparkly tights and my lil high heel witchy boots! I did dark eye make up with pale pink lippy and did big 80s stylee hair, using my diffuser and some major back combing! Ta da!!!

WHITE FLUFFY JUMPERS WITH VINTAGE SKIRTS!

Soooo... I wore this yesterday as I wanted to layer up and keep warm but felt festive! Thus the lovely white fluffy jumper, which I got from a car boot sale for just £2! I wore it over a cheap cream polo neck top and teamed it with this fabulous vintage stripe skirt, which I bought as a suit from a Charity Shop- when pieced with the jacket its very geek chic!! I wore grey marl leggings from New Look and some point brown boots to match my brown velvet vintage belt from Rags to Bitches in Manchester! I also bunched my hair up bjork stylee, which was great but not practical when walking round Manchester in blistering cold winds! doh. Methinks I need to add some earmuffs to my Christmas list!... 

DOLLY PARTON STYLE DENIM!

How Dolly Parton is this shirt? I saw it in a Charity shop and could'nt make up my mind if I loved it or hated it! I decided it was that bad, it was good so happily paid £7 for it! Not only is stone wash denim, it has applique flowers, metallic stitching, studs and coloured beading, as well as batwing sleeves! Kitsch indeed. I teamed it simply with a long black top and flared full circle jeans which I got from and MFN sample sale as the shirt says it all! I wore brown cowboy boots and back combed my hair, 80's style to finish off the look and wen't out for some good ol' Sunday car boot shopping to buy more vintage goodies.....
