Addicted to studs and furs

Hi Guys!

OOTD 1

*Dodgy face pic*

I wore my DIY studded shirt again, and this time I tied a black ribbon to keep the neck closed (ribbon from ebay 99p). I wore the shirt tucked into a black mini skirt. I looked like a jazzed up waitress.

First day wearing my fur! FYI The colour I got was 'black racoon' and I'm really happy with my choice, it complements my colouring and wardrobe really well. I wore it every day this week. (Also got a black faux fur on the way!) Both £11.99 inc p+p from ebay.

Worn with a black elbow sleeved jacket from dorothy perkins. You can wear the faux fur like a collar (opened) but there is also an elastic on the underside that you can tuck the end in (as pictured).

Leopard print, raccoon and rabbit skin - I kid I kid!!

Outfit basically the same as yesterday but with a leopard print blouse and my greenish gap jacket.

Style369 Wishlist

Style369

Heard of them? An online store and Arcadia's latest (been around for a while now) offering.
A younger alternative to Evans, style 369 caters to sizes 14-26.

I think it's just a way to capture the minds (and purses) of the younger/more fashion conscious because pricewise same as Evans, and clotheswise, a lot of the things are the same too. But hey, buying from style369 feels better than buying from Evans!!!

They've got really good concessions in and here's some stuff that if I won the lottery would be purchased asap!

Crap pic but this is a gorgeous long sleeved black and white polka dot dress. Polka dots, nuff said!!

A black dress with a nude/camel chiffon neckline. Sweet and cute. Just like me :) LMAO

OMG. Now this dress is pure lust. Mocha pleated dress. I'd probably look like a buffalo in it but the best dressed buffalo ever!!

These boots are suede with a square toe. Perfect for dressing down a girly dress and worn stomping around in the rain and cold. (Yeah it's 'suede' but shoes are made for walking in people!)

Similar to my primark teal dress but costing 3 times as much.
Hey, it comes with pockets! I want.

This is about as casual as I get but I think it would look really cool with a boyfriend blazer and boots. Or worn now with some wedges. I wonder how flattering this material is though.

[Top and Bottom] Wedge knee high boots. The 'gusset' boot is so similar to the pair I wanted last year, I've seriously got my eyes on these I think they may be 'the one' for winter 2011/2012. Below is the same style minus the gusset and the wedge looks a bit higher. I want dammit. I wish it was my birthday now.

And lastly on my wishlist. The most 'me' dress. Black but with a gem bow detail. Romantic goth at its best. I love you dress.

WANT!

I seriously need to win the lottery or rob a bank. I want these boots. NOW.

Evans, £120.

No skinny minnie, no nothing

Hi Guys, hope you are all well and having a nice weekend,

So after work last night I quickly went to Oxford Street with 2 aims :

1. Buy my brother a birthday present
2. Buy a pair of black skinny jeans

Result?

I went home empty handed barr a bottle of diet pepsi, paracetamol and some exfoliating face scrub from superdrugs. Exciting(!)

1. In regards to my brother's birthday present, he wants a belt. Which sounds cool and easy, but my brother is not like me. My brother like's big brand names and luxury brands aka expensive shizzle. Prior to penny palace I loved buying my brother presents, his birthday and xmas were the only times I went into the flashy stores and left loaded with bags a la pretty woman on rodeo drive. Since penny palace, the quality (and quanitity) of gifts has rapidly gone down hill.

The belt I wanted to get him was a D&G (I think he'd prefer LV or Gucci but you get more bling for your buck with D&G lol) belt, but it cost £235. Erm, no. But then even the 'cheaper' one's that fit the specification are still around the £150 mark and that's still a no.

So I am in a dilemma. I don't want to get him a belt from the high street for the sake of it, or even get a middle range brand belt (aka CK or Hugo Boss) cos he won't love it, so should I just get him a Selfridges gift voucher to put towards the belt of his dreams? Or is that copping out? Personally, I LOVE getting gift vouchers as a gift, I prefer it to a 'real' gift (unless I specifically told you the product number lol). His birthday is on the 20th so....ARGH!

2. I went into Evans and Dorothy Perkins to look for black skinnies. DP didn't have a good size range and Evans...well the customer service was beyond crap.

I went into the fitting rooms with 2 jeggings and 2 harem pants. Turns out the jeggings weren't jeggings, just elasticated bootcut jeans so....

Me: "Excuse me, do you have these *point to black jeggings*?"
Shop Assistant: "I don't know. Maybe. If we have it, it'll be on the floor. Why don't you have a look?"
Me: "Erm....ok, thanks"

So I just left the store.

Then DP....despite my hatred for them I was feeling desperate because I've got two teeeeeny holes in the inner thigh area which is cool generally but an absolute no-no for saturday work so need need a replacement.

Anyway, my shop dash was crap, I was really disappointed but not surprised. I can't imagine what it would be like to be a 'normal' size and be able to just pick stuff off the rails. Oh well.


This is me in the Evan harem pants......£22 or £25. I liked them actually, but could have maybe done with a bigger size but they didn't have it in stock. I looked like I'd swallowed a canon ball from the side lol

Moving on to DP....before I tried on the jeans I had to try on this cape with leather buckle detail:



It was ok but it was not love. Which is just as well since I can't afford it anyway.

Next was the 'skinny jeans' which were not skinny. Come on now!



Skinny jean mission shall continue until I'm successful. Belt mission need to be ended v. soon. I'll let you know what happened.

I want shoes!

Both shoes are from the new Evan's collection, £29.50 each.

The black pair are 'suedette' and are actually the same shoe I wore to my graduation but in the peep toe style. If you go onto the site and zoom in you'll see the patterned heel. Very tempted to purchase as I know I can walk in them, and everyone always loves the subtle heel.

The beige pair are the ones that have my heart speed up though. 3.5inch heel which is doable for me, and i've been after some nude leg lengthening heels for ages, and these look perfect. I'm going to try to hold out until evans have a promotion on shoes so fingers crossed that is soon!!! The question I have with these are: are they 'leather' or are they a satin?I want 'leather' so that I can wear them anywhere and everywhere.

Love!!!!!
