I want: Turquoise pendant

Hi Guys,

I really want a turquoise pendant. It's quite the in thing at the moment (swings and roundabouts)and I think it would add a nice fresh pop of colour to my outfits. Also, turquoise is my birthstone so I guess it would be lucky for me to wear it.

What do you think of this retro stone?

Do you believe in the power of crystals?

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*!!!!

not enough love...

Hello!

Well, after I posted my last entry my fingers were just itching to get onto some lovelinks action BUT though I like to shop shop shop I am not totally stupid so instead of getting the lovelinks or a string I did the next best thing....I got a lovelinks copy aka FAKE. YAY!

[Above image: not the one I got, I think it's a genuine.
All images courtesy of google images apart from the scrabble tile]

I'm sure this is just a fad of mine that I will quickly get bored of so I think I've made a good decision...I guess I'll know by this time next week (free p+p so I'm not expecting it to get here super fast but who knows!)

So all I need now is a pendant/charm of some sort. As I haven't really worn a necklace type thing before I have no idea what to go for, plus I have the harder task of rocking a piece of leather. I'm sure a wolf tooth would go with the leather but I'm not really a wolf tooth type of girl....

I have two ideas in my head:
look 1 = cute and quirky; which I could wear on Saturdays so just about anything would go. At least I don't need to worry about a colour palette as I'm usually in black or cream.
look 2 = pretty and sophisticated; this would be for work and is a toughie as my work clothes wouldn't be an obvious choice but I'm sure I'll think of something........I dunno....

Below is a scrabble tile pendant. Pixie Lott wore one in a MV and it's cute, def a Saturday charm, what do you think?


Next is my cute frog! The image is not accurate, I just google searched this one as the ebay one is protected or something; only problem with froggy is that he'll probably be upside down most of the time...

And then I've got my elephant. There are some really gorgeous one's on the market, but quite pricey so I'd have to get something plain like this...or maybe wait for my birthday?



And lastly, how cool is this?! It's a Miss Piggy pendant, one of a kind supposedly. But at a starting bid price of £18 I will never be wearing this, it's just not worth it for a fad :( But hey, if I end up rocking my leather string for 5 years then I will get this if it's still around!


Ok boy I need to get myself offline cos a) I'll be bankrupt with nothing to show but a handful of beads and b) it's frigging 1am and I wanted to be at work for 8am.

Goodnight folks xoxo
