Penny in the hoooouse!

Hello Everyone! A random post with random pictures from the last month or so - sorry for my absence! Above pic is me mid-bun - and that hair is not backcombed, that's pure unbrushed/unstraightened hair. Scary!!

This is me in Primark in a lovely wig. For some reason I am not so keen to get a fringe or colour my hair. I wonder why?!

I love photo props and what better than an orange slice smile?! :)

For the Olympics my brother is helping out in tube stations (he's usually office based for TFL) and they gave him an ipad. You can't do anything with it but I had fun locating the nearest restrooms and translating popular foreign phrases such as, "your mum is a cow" :)

Hate working but love ice lollies! My managers got us all ice creams and ice lollies during our 3 day summer. Yay :)

Wagamama and Topshop

Short and sweet, my girl came to London from across the seas and we went to Wagamama and Topshop :)

I always order the same thing, but I can never remember what I order....I dunno.

I obviously loved the noodles but hated the pink stuff. What is it? It tastes like...bbq horse shit.

These shoes weren't really made for walking

Hello Everyone!

My mum got me these leopard print wedges (I chose, she paid) a while ago, and I loved them but ended up returning them because a) I'm not a hooker b) I could have done with 1/2 size up 3) they didn't go with any of my clothes

Shopped for some alternatives, these heels could kill a man. Especially with my weight on them!!! Also tried on some copycat Lita's (no pic) and omg I want!!!

Mummy got me a replacement. I love them beyond words. On sale in good old M&S, £25 (RRP £49.99). They are just perfect and I am in love.

So that's the story behind my feet huggers :)

NOTD: Smokey brown

Hey guys!

Just a quick nail of the day; first time using elf's smokey brown. I've had this sitting in my collection for a while and when I picked up the bottle today the formula looked nasty - separated and with a white tinge..but being the brave girl I am I just the bottle a good shake and voila!

This polish is one of the good elf polishes - opaque in 2 coats and nice and smooth. (Actually, due to current nail length I do 2 coats on the entire nail and then a 3rd coat from tip to mid nail.)

The name suits the polish perfectly, it is a smokey brown, reminds me of a galaxy chocolate bar that has been left in the fridge too long.

I don't usually write anything when I post a notd picture but hope that wasn't too wafflelicious lol xoxo

Peek-a-boo I see you!!

 Hi Guys!

Sorry about the layout on this post - I'm actually using my laptop and....I dunno.

A change of season brings about a change of wardrobe but I am broke so I need to be a bit wiser with my wardrobre. I've been really proud of my self control since buying penny palace and even though I have my odd splurges I feel I've done really well considering I use to be a shopping whore aka I'd buy anything and everything.

 Nowadays I try to be a tiny bit more sensible and since last winter I decided to only buy things I didn't already have, which might already make sense to you but it's something that my bulk buying self struggles with. Usually if I like something I will buy a million of them in every colour....to be fair my last few posts support this ek but honestly I am trying my best here!

I've decided on a loose one in one out policy. This winter I did not buy any boots or coats. Apart from saving money this also means my bedroom is a bit less messy; apart from loving to shop i also love to hoard and even if I haven't worn something for 10 years I will not throw it away. The hoarding has now become my self inflicted torture but until I learn to chuck stuff then I cannot buy (too many) stuff. 

This summer I am trying to do the same thing; no more stupid elbow sleeve jackets until I chuck the one's I have, and no more pumps or sandals because I've already got a million pairs (slight exaggeration, maybe) and a lot of those still have the bloody price tags on!

That being said, there is space in my shoe collection for a plain flat peeptoe. Something that i can wear in the searing heat (not that there's much of that in England atm)  to the office but not have to wear flip flops or gladiators.

 H&M seemed to be the answer to my prayers...

These are £9.99 and they are a black satin cross front peep toe. And the important thing for me is that they have a close back, perfect for work in the summer time. The fact that they are not leather or even faux leather (they have a satin finish) might be a bit of a problem cheesy feet wise (hey, wer're all friends here right?!) but for £9.99 that is a decent price for one season of stinky feet :)

Don't judge me!! I also picked up the same pair in snake print. I love these and they were on a deal for £7 which makes me love them even more! Believe it or not these are also in a satin finish which I can't even believe when I've got them on. These really add a pop of...snake....to my more often than not black outfits and make things a bit more chic. The only thing is...they fucking hurt my feet. Like holy bloody jesus I can't even walk 4 steps without developing a john wayne waddle! But I don't care, they are sexy lol

Above and below, same shoe different colour. This was a sad moment in my life. Basically I wanted the nude (they are a nude beige, not white like they look in the picture) but the size 7 (which I usually wear) were too big and it was the only pair in store. The yellow in a size 6 fit perfectly and I love me bright shoes but in fitting with my 'strict' shopping rules I did not need a pair of patent yellow shoes (cos I already got me a few of those). Sad times. I admit I checked online but they didn't have the style. Oh well, saved me a few bucks.
