Ucas Results !

Just a quick one ! I logged into UCAS this morning and i have officially now got my place at MMU :) I will be studying International Fashion Marketing ! Although i won't be moving from home ( for the first year at least ) i am still super excited :) Now i can make a start buying clothes and stationary ! 

Mini Haul

I have had a really stressful couple of days between working at Next and then working at Liverpool FC on match days and then getting my Btec results ! Having a little bit of trouble with my results :/ ( too complicated to go into ) but fingers crossed i do get into my University course ! So to cure my stress i did what i do best ! Which is shop :) 

So here is what i got ! 

Primark - £8

I have been a bit on the fence about the peplum trend but since i have really wanted something dogtooth lately, i took a chance and tried this on and it has changed my mind ! I really love the leather trim as well :) 

Primark - £10

I have also been searching for the perfect galaxy print as well ! I really wanted leggings but apart from the very pricey Black Milk ones no others have took my fancy so i settled for an oversized tee. I don't think this photograph really does this shirt justice it is really beautiful in real life the front is sheer and it looks really good on. 

Primark - £7

This is my favourite purchase from Primark ! I love the colour and i really love the front panel ! Its the same kind of material that you get on american sports jerseys. They also had this in black which a grey panel but did not have it in my size :( but i am definitely going to check back to see if they get it in ! I think this will go really nice with a leather look skirt i have just ordered. 

Geroge @ Asda - £15

I also got this jumper from asda. I really love it ! Its lightweight and will be easy to layer when it gets colder but is still wearable now while the weather is hit and miss ! It reminds me of something you would see in Topshop but at a fraction of the price ! 

Primark £6

You have probably all seen this necklace by now as it has been doing its rounds on the blog front ! But i do really like it as i'm not sure if i love the neon trend enough to sport clothing in the colours yet :/  so i am trying it out with some accessories first ! I seen on someones blog ( sorry i can't remember who ! If it was your blog leave a comment and i will link ) that they had teamed a neon necklace with snake print and it looked really good so i think i'm going to try that out :) 

Superdrug - £4 ( i think )

I'm no beauty expert but have been wanting some new eyeshadows lately and have seen some reviews on this comparing it to the Urban Decay Naked palette so i decided to try it out ! I'm yet to try it but i do love the look of colours in it ! 

Superdrug - £4ish

Since my whole ginger phase my hair just hasn't recovered yet ! So i have invested in some leave in conditioner with hope that it will help ! I have never tried leave in conditioner so am eager to see how it makes my hair feel ! 

Hope you are all having a better week than me ! 

Have you bought anything nice ? 

                     

My New Tattoo !

I was going to wait until it was was completely healed but that is going to be another week or so. So i thought i would just post about it now :) The tattoo i got was a collar bone tattoo and the quote i got was " It's better to burn out than to fade away " I seen it a while ago and had no idea what it was from but it turns out its from quite a few things .. a song by Neil Young, the last line of Kurt Cobain's suicide letter ( hence the Nirvana reference in my last post ) and also from the film Highlander. I know that quote's can be taken different ways by different people but to me this tattoo means that i would rather burn out and fail trying to achieve all my dreams than to not even try and to just let my life fade away ! I really love it and it's my favourite tattoo so far :) So without further ado here are the pics !

Once the stencil was applied

Straight after it was finished ! 

And this is how it looks now :) 

What do you think ?

I Heart It #2

I did plan on posting again before today ! But my boyfriends mum and dad have gone on holiday and he had a few days off work ( which is very rare ) so i went to stay at his over the weekend :) So here are some of the pictures i have been hearting this week :)

I couldn't post today without mentioning the beautiful Marilyn Monroe who sadly passed away 50 years ago today ! This is my favourite picture of her back when she was Norma Jean ! ( its actually my computer background as well ) because it shows how just an ordinary girl can become someone so spectacular ! 

And from one lovely lady to another ! I have a massive girl crush on Mila Kunis ! I think she is amazing. Not only is beautiful she can really act ! I went to see Ted on friday and she is great in it ! Although i have to say my favourite film of hers has to be Friends With Benefits :) 

I also went to see Frankie Boyle last night ! And i have to say i have not laughed so much in a long time. He was amazing ! For those of you who don't know Frankie Boyle is an utterly brilliant but highly offensive Scottish comedian ! He is also hysterical on twitter. Follow him with caution on @frankieboyle  :)

I have also been looking for new nail art idea's ! and i really love this one as it reminds me of ice cream :) May give this a go later this week ! 

And last but not least … a hint ! I got my new tattoo done ! As i was unexpectedly paid from work :) I was unsure weather to post a pic yet as i feel i should wait till it has healed properly ! But it in someway has a connection to Nirvana :) but no it is not lyrics ! 

Winter Wardrobe Wishlist

Shoes - Topshop (here), Scarf - Ebay (here), Coat - River Island (here), Top - Asos (here)

As more and more A/W stuff arrives on the high street i cannot help but get super excited about buying a whole new wardrobe ! Here is a collection of things i already have my eye on ! 

Shoes - With my love of the 90's how could i not love these blue velvet flatforms ! I have seen similar ones elsewhere in dark red which i really love as well but i think the blue would go with more ! I swear since discovering flatforms i hardly wear anything else and these would be a nice addition :) 

Scarf - I have wanted a tartan scarf for a while now and really regret not buying one in the Asos sale last year ! I think tartan is perfect for winter and it always reminds me of christmas.

Coat - I have been wanting a waxed jacket for a while now and have been considering buying a Barbour jacket, but they are just so expensive ! So when i seen this one in River Island i completely fell in love ! I love the fur collar detail as well and for only £55 which even on the high street seems cheap for a waxed jacket i think i will definitely have to get it ! 

Top - I guess i'm going through a check/tartan phase right now and i really love this top ! Am not entirely sure what it would look like on as i end up sending a lot of what i buy from Asos back because it looks different in real life. But i might buy it and see.

Have you started looking for winter yet or are you still thinking about summer ? 

I Heart It #1

I am an avid We heart it  user ! I literally go on it every day ! For those who don't know what We heart it is it's basically a website where people upload and share pictures, you make an account and can heart those pictures ! So i thought it might be fun to do a weekly post showing my 5 favourite hearts of the week :)

I liked this pictures as i have recently started reading The Hobbit ahead of the film coming out ! I really love it so far ! I would love to live in a hobbit hole ! I think having a round door would be amazing as the view when you open it looks so good ! 

This picture got hearted because i have a mexican fancy dress party coming up in august ! And i am going crazy trying to think of costumes to wear ! I am thinking of going day of the dead themed but i did do that for halloween so i am unsure :/ Can you think of anything else ?

I have already mentioned i loved the new Batman film so when i seen this it really made me giggle ! Not to mention the fact i really wish i had a cat ! I would say about 40% of my hearts are of cats in silly poses :)

This year my boyfriends brother got married ! And then then this month his sister and other brother both got engaged ! Before you think it i am not planning on getting engaged anytime soon ! But when i seen this picture as a giant potter fan i think i can safely say this would be in my top five dream proposals ! 

And last but not least is this photo of some beautiful long blue hair ! I am getting so bored of my hair :/ after cutting off all my colourful dip dye it just feels so boring :( I'm also starting to miss my long hair now ! There is no chance of my getting extensions either as the thought of fake hair attached to my head just kind of freaks me out ! ( I know i'm a massive weirdo ) Considering getting my fringe back though just to change things up a bit :/ 

So there you go.. an insight into some of the things i liked this week. Hopefully these posts will share a little bit more about me with you !

An Amazing Disco-very !

Sorry the picture isn't the best ! 

I am no exception to many who wish to own a pair of American Apparel Disco Pants ! But with a price tag of £70 i could never bring myself to buy them ! Not to mention they wouldn't fit evan if i did ! As an XL according to them is a 14 ! I had lost all hope … Until i found these replica ones from Very ! They come in Black, Navy and Red ! And are only £35 not to mention they go up to a size 20 ! As you can probably guess they are selling quick. Hopefully they might have some left for my next pay day ! I think i'd go for the black as they will go with so many things, But the Navy ones look amazing as well, not quite sure i could pull off red !
