OOTD: is that an egg?*

Hello Guys!

I am so excited to share this OOTD with you guys!I loved this outfit so much and felt really happy wearing it. And I got to wear a bunch of previously unworn stuff so that was fun. Jesus I am so shallow but whatever.

I am wearing:

Chiffon blouse with dip back from Tesco (loving tesco!)

Mid blue skinny jeans from Forever21

Pendant from Ebay

And once on road also wore:

My beloved Gap coat

Dirty nude suede pumps from Primark

My black Focco

Close up of my pendant (and non existent cleavage - where are my boobs hiding!?). I got this off ebay...I can't remember for how much exactly but it was under £2 (inc p+p). The chain is really long (bust length) but I did it up so that it would just peek out from under my collar. It looked really nice like this when my collar was done up all the way but settled with a few buttons undone because otherwise I would have suffocated.

*The title for this outfit of the day is due to SF's babygirl (aged 5). She seemed to find my pendant fascinating and kept asking "what is that?", I told her it was a stone (I don't think 'pendant' is in a child's vocab) and she said that she thought it was an egg. How cute is that!? (I hope she meant it looked like a really nice egg lol)

[BELOW]

Loving my new jeans! I got these from the Forever21 in Westfield Stratford City branch. I will post about my experience in another post but jeans wise I am so pleased! Buying plus sized skinny jeans in store is no easy feat. Firstly, there aren't many stores that do plus size (FYI there is no Evans in the new Westfield) and even stores that do plus size (i.e Dorothy Perkins, Newlook, Next) don't often stock the range is store, and if they do, it's pretty lame with, ironically, slim pickings. But anyway, the important thing is I got my jeans and they were only £15.25!!!! They are a tad long for me, bit they fit great and I can even walk properly and sit down and stand up. Happy days!!

On a side note - it's really weird that my two favourite OOTD's have been different from my usual look. I think I am known for my skirts and dresses but my favourite looks have been my homage to chanel and this one - both featuring...well, no skirt or dress.

This is really sad, but I can't wait until pay day, not for the obvious reason (kerching) but because we usually get a non uniform day at work (actually, we don't wear a uniform so it's official dress down day) on payday and I am soooooooo wearing this entire outfit. *excited squeal*!!!!

Feeling 'really rosy'

Hi Guys!

A big thank you to SF who has made this post possible :)

She gifted me with an avon lipstick (also facecream and black patent make up bag) which I am modelling below:

It is the Avon Ultra Colour Rich Mega Impact Lipstick in the shade 'really rosy', hence my cheesy blog title :)

[ABOVE AND BELOW]

The lipstick bullet is a weird shape but it actually makes application very easy as you can use the 'sharp' bits to get into your cupid bow and be precise.

The lipstick looks glittery but once on there is a slight shimmer (it isn't matte) but as you can see in the swatch it's still a gorgeous colour and finish.

I got this yesterday and have worn this twice now (night and day). Even though it's a bright colour it's a great shade, as the name suggests, it's a rosy pinky red colour, or reddy pink colour lol and for me I am happy to wear this to work.

But my favourite thing about this lipstick is the formula. It feels really moisturising on the lips, which makes it easy to wear. And it faded really well. I know it is weird to praise a lipstick fading but realistically all lipsticks fade (even if you coloured in your lips with a red sharpie it would fade) but this stained and faded at the same time so that I didn't end up with my mouth half nude lip and half red ring stain.

This is my first avon lipstick and I am really impressed and I would recommend the Ultra Colour blah blah blah - only improvement I'd suggest is a catchier name haha (I have a few lipglosses from them which are also great - also courtesy of SF the generous avon addict lol)

[BELOW]

Dodgy pic alert!

I wanted to do an OOTD but the pictures were so crap and not showcasing the outfit so I'm just gonna post this one crap picture (which also shows my lip of the day).

Wearing a chiffon peach pussy bow blouse from Tesco. Really really scratchy material but it was £14 (and I got 20% off) and I like it. I'll try to do an OOTD with this blouse when I next wear it...

Takecare and thank you for reading xoxo

Fun foods

Hi Guys!

This is just a really random post but the stuff makes me smile so thought I would share with you.

[ABOVE AND BELOW]

My lovely lovely friend at work brought me this for my desk. I like cute things, and I love post its. So my friend got me this post it apple!!!!! How cool is it!? (Available from Amazon, also comes in a pear theme).

[ABOVE PIC]

Another gift from my friend (he's my work neighbour) - it's a cadbury's SCREME EGG!!!!!!!! I dedicate this egg (in my tummy) to V, a fellow lover of the original creme egg.

[BELOW PIC]

*DISCLAIMER - I saw/got this online*

Spooning banana's. Nuff said!

[BELOW PIC - Skittles: Crazy Cores]

OMG Have you tried these!? Courtesy of SF I have tasted the new rainbow in town and I love. IMO much yummier than the original skittles (and the sour skittles make my face hurt). The shells and the inside have different flavours (for example: mango and peach, cherry and lemonade, and watermelon and strawberry).

If you don't know, GET TO KNOW!!!!

Sept 2011 In's and Out's

Hi Guys,

Wow I haven't done one of these in forever but here is a September In and Out post. It's that time of the year that is probably more about 'new beginnings' than January is - people going back to school, coming off term time work, weather changing...erm well, it makes sense to me.

In's

Doctor Who - I love Doctor Who. I am a massive fan. And I am a massive fan of Matt Smith. I'm not going to get into a Matt vs Tennant debate here but I love Smith's doctor a lot and glad they gave a young newbie a chance.

X Factor - Admittedly, I haven't been into this as much as usual. I have missed quite a few shows and not bothered with catching up, but if I'm home and it's on I will watch it. I feel that this show doesn't have an awful lot of singing so erm, what's the point? But I like seeing what Kelly and Tulisa are wearing. And yay I love Gary Barlow. Looking good old guy!

Leopard print - This probably does not need to be mentioned but I am loving leopard print. MY phone case, oyster card case, nails, shoes, scarves, shirts; if it comes in leopard print, i want it!

Scarves - Probably something to do with my current chest infection but I am loving thin large scares at the moment. Adding a pop of colour to my outfits and acting like a security blanket when I'm all fluey at work.

Creamed Mushrooms on toast - mushrooms, olive oil, garlic, philadelphia cream cheese, parsley, salt, pepper OMG chuck it on some buttered toast and mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :)


Out's

Fake tan - I don't know why since I fake tan every year but this time it broke me out and gave me a rash which is still playing up even now, I hate you. I still think bronze and beautiful is better than pale and interesting but oh well. Goodbye fake tan!

Droopy crotched tights - I love wearing tights (80 denier from primark best tights IMO) but omg how annoying are tights that are constantly falling down? OR when the crotch is just hanging by your knees? WHY?!

Bare feet - I love winter/fall fashion (hides my rolls better than summery clothes) but I hate winter footwear. Boots are beautiful, but in my opinion they seem to destroy a lot of people's dress sense. I will miss pumps and the like, but even I know that they are now OUT.

*********
Well I thought September was a bad month due to sickness and personal issues but my In's have me focussed on the things that make me happy and it's always good and healthy to count you little blessings (Doctor Who is a blessing? Yeah!)

Ciao!

Westfields - Stratford City

Hello Everyone,

WOO HOO Westfield Stratford City is OPEN for BUSINESS!!!!!!! :)

Ok, admittedly, I wasn't that excited (quite excited, but not as much as people were assuming considering my love for shopping).

It opened Tuesday 13th September. I made a vow to myself that I would not go for one month.

And at about 5.25pm 13/09/11 I found myself in Westfield LOL

I apologise for the lack of photo's but it was so packed I couldn't take any pictures. It was crazy. I could feel the person behind me blinking it was that packed!!

The intention of me and my work friend was to just 'pop into primark' cos we are chavs innit but the mall was so busy it was impossible to pop into anywhere. You just had to follow the crowds. I must say I was proud of myself for not freaking out; I just kept my held down and kept moving, I didn't let myself think about how enclosed I was.

We did go into Primark (it's all right, Lakeside still rules IMO) and we did fill up our baskets but we ended up ditching them (sad face) because we realised that we wouldn't be able to move around the mall with bags.

Once we got to the Primark exit we couldn't just go out (literally out of Westfields) so crowd control meant we had to go aaaaaalllllllll the way around the mall (yeah yeah we did visit other shops just to have a look-see, it would have been rude otherwise!)

We ended up in Waitrose because I needed a sugar fix and yay I got a opening day freebie!!!! Pictured below mid munch - a fruit salad :)

So I went to Westfield on the opening day and got a freebie. I feel on top of the world :)

(So haulage wise I got a bottle of coke, sandwich, pain au chocolat and my freebie fruit salad).

********

So have any of you guys been?

What did you think? Glad it's here or do you think it's a literal waste of space?
