RED, BLACK AND BARE SHOULDERS!

Well I'm completely hungover today but its no wonder after all the champagne and red wine last night! I have only myself to blame! I did have a fabulous night out though at The Christian Audigier party with some very fabulous people! We also met a lovely snake called Doris May, but thats another story....

So, I wore this little number, which is a red satin dress which cost me all of £3 in a charity shop, as well as this Morgan cut out sleeves top, black leggings, high heel witchy boots and some fabulous 80's accessories- an animal print waspie belt and red leather clutch bag, both from Car Boot Sales- the belt was only 20p- crazy huh!
Now where's that paracetemol, or maybe another glass of wine will take the pain away?.....

A GRECIAN STYLE DRESS FOR £1

Well, I'm listening to Christmas songs as I blog and am feeling in a very festive mood, with just over 2 weeks to the big day!! I really am a big kid when it comes to Christmas and I even get butterflies just thinking about it. I take it this is not normal behavior for a 20-Something??....

Anywho, atleast yesterday I looked grown up in this a simple vintage black polo neck and a vintage brown 70's dress which I picked up from Retro rehab for just £1!!! A big bargain indeed. To accesorize I teamed it with All Saints kitten heel boots, my vintage brown velvet belt from Rags to Bitches in Manchester and some big old studs from Peacocks! Now back to day dreaming about Christmas..... (atleast for a little while!)

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!! ;)

KAREN MILLEN, COCKTAILS & WITCHY BOOTS!

Well, I had a lovely evening last night at an exclusive Karen Millen fashion show and cocktail night in Manchester, where Nick Ede From Project Catwalk gave styling tips for the season and I managed to chat make up to Lisa Eldridge who even commented on my eyemake up as looking nice! ....A compliment indeed, from a make up artist for the stars!
I had the most delicious mint, wine and Disaronno cocktail, I'd have to say its the nicest cocktail I've ever had! Disaronno has now, been newly added to my (ever growing) Christmas list!

I wore this ensemble which consists of a classic black polo neck and leggings, my much love All Saints handkerchief hem skirt £70, Pretty Disturbia sheer, satin binding jacket £74.99, teamed with my high heel witchy boots and pearls from Marks and Spencers £15. The boots seemed a good idea at the time but after being stood up all evening and then out until 12 around Manchester, Maybe slightly smaller heels would have been a more practical idea!....

FESTIVE SPARKLE AND DIP DYE EFFECTS!

Well I hope you had a fine relaxing weekend? I worked at the MFN Sample Sale on Saturday but had a great time doing it, as always!
Yesterday was a day of watching Sex & the City and eating Bacon butties in bed, as well as Christmas shopping and I had a warming dose of Harry Ramsdens fish and chips to keep me going! it was delicious.... I really must start back on that exercise regime to cancel out my piggish eating next week!....

I wore this sparkly dress from Topshop, with my vintage velvet belt from Rags to Bitches, wet look leggings, a Pretty Disturbia long sleeve dip dye top for £34.99 and my tan leather cowboy boots. I accessorised with a stunning vintage 1950's necklace which I got from a car boot sale in Clitheroe for £8! Talking of car boot sales, I did try and go to my usual one yesterday morning and it had stopped for Christmas!! It just was'nt the same, not picking up some second hand bargains in the early hours of a cold brisk Sunday morning....

RETRO DOTS AND MUSTARD!!

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!!!.....

I'm doing the MFN Sample sale again at the Triangle selling Pretty Disturbia pre-production samples for as little as £10, as doing it last week was both enjoyable and profitable, and it had the additional bonus of clearing some sample space in our eclectic, cramped office!

A mutli coloured skirt from Primark, £15, wet look leggings and a Pretty Disturbia shirt with plum satin neck bow £34.99..... Which is also something you can buy a sample of on Saturday for just £10! A classic item, which never dates...
We hope to see you there ;) x
