If I was a rich girl

(na na na na na na na na na na na)

Excuse that..

I recently came across a blog that introduced me to The 2 Bandits. To say I was in love was an understatement.  I would like at the very least 3 quarters of the bloody shop, but unfortunately due to prices one just simply cannae afford it. I think if this was an English company then I would be more inclined to purchase something. But the fact is, it's American, which means international postage charges AND potentially extra importation costs (as a colleague experienced just a couple of weeks ago - an extra £20).  It has a very tribal/bohemian/rustic vibe to all of the pieces, so I am gutted because it's everything that I adore in jewellery. However, my step-dads best pal lives in Brooklyn, so if I can raise enough funds I may have to call in a favour...muhaha.

These are some of my favourite pieces...

So this is just a small taster of the amazing stuff that is on there. By the looks of things I have a slight obsession with cuffs at the moment, but who can blame me?

Newbies

Asos

Firstly, my god these pictures are awfullllll! Long story cut short, I have to use my phone because I don't have a card for my camera wahhhh.

Last month I won my first ever competition on a blog woohoooo! I won £80 worth of Asos vouchers from Amy at These Girls Turn Heads...to say I was chuffed would be an understatement.  I had been desperate for a smock dress for a long time after completely falling in love with everything minkpink. Unfortunately, Emily does not earn minkpink monies.  Although this Asos voucher allowed me to go ahead a live the dream of the minkpink smock, I decided that actually I may as well take advantage of the equally nice and cheaper Asos versions....cue my first purchase (top dress). The purple floral pattern on the 2nd dress really caught my eye and it had a totally cute peter pan collar PLUS it was in the sale for 12 squids, why not?! To my absolute joy the smock dress was on 50% off...hells yeah. (Feel free to applaud - clappadee clap clap) So I have £52 left on the voucher which I am super pleased about because as y'all know I have the wedding to go to in August and need me some sandals to wear, but I think these will be purchased nearer the time.

I got this rather cute Topshop jumpsuit via ebay, the picture really doesn't do it justice, the material is so pretty. 

My darling sist works in Primark at the weekends and was a complete babe and picked this skater dress up for me. I fell in love when I saw the Topshop one but it sold out very very quicky and unfortunately they STILL only have 6's & 8's available! I think an 8 would fit nicely on just 1 of my legs, what a load of tosh. Anyway, for £8, I'm not complaining with the primark one.

Laaaaaaastly, my favourite. When I read Gatsby I imagined that attending one of his parties would have been pretty cool. THEN, I watched the film and was jealous of all the babes in their amazing dresses that attended (don't worry, I am completely aware that these parties and in fact Jay Gatsby are fictional). Even though it was only like Thursday that I ordered this jumper, I can't actually remember how I came across it, but I am so chuffed I did. I can imagine I will be wearing the crap outta this.

In General

I thought I would share with you some of the new things I have purchased over the past couple of days.

The new sunnies, to be honest I probably didn't need to buy another pair because I seem to own quite a few already. However, for fiver you can't complain right?

Jojoba oil, I heard that Jojoba oil is very good for both your skin and your hair.  I think I bought this on Amazon for like £3.50 I believe. I am quite excited to use it, especially on my hair because for some reason I tend to get quite a dry scalp.  (Cue the sympathy...guys...hello?) 

Body Shop dry brush, brushing dry skin is supposed to help with circulation, cellulite as well has brushing off dead skin and stuffs. Apparently all you do is just brush over your legs and tummy area before jumping in the shower and then exfoliate as normal and use lots of moisturiser. So this little baby may come in handy in early preparation for my holiday.  

Nivea day cream, this is my second  bottle of this stuff. I'm not the kind of person who tends to stick to one facial moisturiser. I think that I am just trying a few different ones out to find 'the one' that I will religiously use for the rest of my life. The way this is going, this could potentially be the winner.

Anyways, the other week Elliot and I got our invitation to his sisters wedding finallllly. How exciting! They are so nice.

Song of the Week #12

One of my favourite all time album's is Adele 19. Before that famous performance of hers at the Brit awards she wasn't overly popular. Well she was, but not everyone had heard of her, had her music and listened to it. Then all of a sudden, within days, she was the most popular artist in the world. 21 seems to be many peoples favourite, but in all honesty I'm not overly keen. I enjoy some of the songs don't get me wrong, but for me, it doesn't contain the same rawness that her first album does. She wrote lots of the songs when she was like 15/16 and I was that age when the first album was released. I was immediately in love and introduced her to all of my friends, who like many others in the country, didn't really take notice until the Brits.

I can relate to a lot of the songs and know every single one like the back of my hand. Its the kind of music that although the story is sad you can listen to it whatever mood you are in.

This is my favourite song off of 19.
