Haul - sunglasses and flip flops

Hi Guys!

A slightly weird haul for February (it has snowed a whole 0.00001mm in London!) but hey, I need this stuff, so why not just get it now? (I was surprised that they were even selling this stuff already, but lucky me!).

I've picked up two pairs of cheap and cheerful sunglasss - £2 each!!!

One pair are matt black plastic with silver legs and are actually really nice on (if I don't say so myself).
The other pair have a (leopard?) print and are "fun". I dunno. At £2 I  can afford to have some fun right?

I also got a hot pink case and I was plesantly surprised when I realised I can fit both pair of sunglasses in one case. I can't remember the price....between £2-3.

I also got some sandals.

The nude and diamante pair (left pic) were £4 and they are my emergency beach wedding shoes. Uber tacky, blingy and girly but for a wedding situation I think it will go with my outfit. (I still plan to wear heels but thought I should prepare a back up).

The other pair were £6 and look much cooler on when hanging up in store. (There were a black pair but sadly not in my size - sad times.) The colour IRL are a reddy orange, will look amazing in the sunshine. Not even sure if these will make it to Thailand/Phillippines but even in London with my all black summer outfit - I can't wait :)

G L A M O U R

Can't do a summer holiday without some flipflops!

The black pair were £1 - yes £1 and the leopard print pair were £1.50...or maybe £2? The plan is to take them away and then leave them behind (to make room in my suitcase for all the crap I'll be bringing back).

So that's my little summer haul. I feel good starting early and having some basics in my suitcase.

Anyone else buying flip flops and sunglasses but wearing ear muffs and snowboots? xoxo

Hello 2015

Hello Hello!

Happy New Year everyone!

It is nearly the end of January so I thought I'd better show my face now rather than later.

I hope everyone has been well and that 2015 is already proving to be fabulous.

I did have a few posts to go out but I didn't think it'd be 'right' to post without acknowledging the new year.

Resolutions and stuff aren't really my thing. I'm a simple girl with simple life goals. Survive the day; go to bed; wake up; repeat. Same set of goals every year and I must say, I'm doing ok!!!

This year, I do feel a teeny tiny bit different. This year, my baby brother is getting married. Married. My baby giant head smelly brother is getting married. Like, WTF?!

I'm probably not feeling the type of 'different' you are thinking of. The fact that as of last month I cannot tick the 25-29 box doesn't bother me, and the fact that baby bro is getting married before me doesn't bother me either because I've never wanted to get married, but it is the wedding stuff that has me coming out/needing to come out of my blanket fort of solitude and get my shit together.

The wedding is towards the end of 2015 (there will be a dress haul coming your way very soon - yes of course I've already started to purchase my outfits!) and it will involve me being in the Philippines and Thailand.

So, with all the travelling, sun, sand and anti-fat people, I am feeling a bit...apprehensive? Shit scared? What am I going to wear? I got sunburn in Kent last July and am still suffering from it in Janaury, will I die on the island resort?!

Ok. Deep breaths people.This was only suppose to be a Hello 2015 type post and I've started to spiral into the depth of hells.

So, the positive stuff is someone (kinda amazing)~ loves my baby bro, and I have a ton of brand new holiday clothes already. Holiday purchases are like free dinners - they don't really count. Not a sentiment my credit card or waist line agree with but YOLO!!!

Anyways, I will post my important mascara and foundation posts now :)

Takecare everyone. xoxo

Rant and Holidays part 2 + ramble

So today was a good day at work; I definitely don't want to fling myself off the top floor anymore!!
But for some reason I am so tired. Don't know if it's my sickness or just stress.

Last night I went to bed at 8pm as planned (well 8:15 to be exact) but I couldn't sleep. Was in the worst/weird random pain ever. My shoulders were so tensed, I ended up having to sleep on the floor without a pillow, it was the only way I could ease the pain (and even then it wasn't gone). Woke up feeling ok but not feeling like I had a long sleep.

Been tired all day, and it didn't help that all I had to eat by 4pm was a bowl of cocopops!!! We had 'an event' today and even though a long lunch was scheduled I ended up spending an hour printing out 330 pages and stapling it together. So i had 15mins for my cocopops and a wee (TMI?)

But yay I am home now and on the way I popped in the chicken shop and got myself chips and wings :)

The holiday part of this post is to basically say: no morocco. I went into work to check my work schedule (Cos I'd checked my diary and I didn't have any big events coming up) and the period I need off has been taken (its the first week of the summer holidays duh) and only 1 person off at a time, especially if its a whole week, which is fair considering my team consists of 3 people.

I am a bit sad. Because I was weighing up all the pro's and con's and the only real con was money and I was thinking of robbing a bank (or maybe just spending a bit less on my credit card) and I am a bit miffed that my decision has been made for me. In fact, because the decision not to go isn't mine it makes me really really really want to go now!!! *sighs*

Tomorrow (TGIF) I'm debating whether to pop down to oxford street after work, I need to buy my dad something for fathers day (i was thinking of a Gap giftcard) but if I'm feeling how I am now tomorrow then that's definitely a no. I could always pop to oxford street after work on Saturday but am worried I'm cutting it a bit fine.....and what if I'm feeling dodgy on saturday and need to go straight home for a lie down? Then I am screwed. I was actually planning to go today becasue an event usually = a relatively early finish, plus thursday is late night shopping but I was all wobbly from stress, fatigue, sickness and hunger so had to speed it home.

All my ramble type posts have been just moan moan moan recently and i do apologise. Hopefully next week will be a better week for me!

One last moan: i painted my toes with Barry M's lemon ice cream...horrible!! It looks like my toenails are rotten or something equally as bad :( In fact, it probably looked better on my finger nails which isn't saying much!

I think now would be a good time for me to do my 3 blessings before the wind changes and turns me into a miserable old hag forever!!!

1) Finally got to eat chicken wings, first time this week :)
2) No longer vomitting which is always a good thing (hope I haven't jinxed my chicken wings!!!)
3) Will get to see the family on sunday cos its fathers day :)

So you tell me, what's been p*ssing you off?!
