Just chilling...

Sneaky peek at what I chose to wear for a comfy day curating at my local Art Gallery. Bit chilly, though!

In love!

Ahh! My John Lennon-esque Ray Ban 3447 round sunglasses came today! I really, really like them! :)

Excuse the gurn and the pyjama top!

How to: Rice Krispie Easter Treats

Happy Easter, everyone!

I made some little Easter treats that I'm going to share with my family and loved ones.

Thought I'd show you how to make them (not that a recipe is needed, as they're SO easy!)

What you need:

150grams ish of Rice Krispies (Cornflakes work well, too!)

200-250grams of chocolate (I used a mix of cheapo own brand chocolate and Cadbury's)

Decoration (Hundred's and Thousands, Smarties, Mini Eggs!)

-This makes 12-15 generous sized servings-

Melt your chocolate in a bowl.

Yum yum!

Add the Rice Krispies.

Mix, mix, mix!

Dish out into muffin cases.

Decorate!

Refrigerate for an hour or so, and Voila!

I made some mini, bitesized ones out of the remnants of the mixture, too!

Now I'm off to share the love and take some to the boyf at work!

Hope you enjoy your Easter Weekend!

Easter treats!

Might've just nipped to the shop to get some ingredients for some scrummy Easter treats!

O.O.T.D. 07/04/12

I'm afraid I'm busting out the stripes again. Only a couple of pics though, because I'm not feeling too well today!

Got complimented on the pants and shoes by a stylish looking girl with pink hair and a bright green blazer on while I was out shopping in Next, so I felt pretty fashionable. ;) Haha. Small things!

Shirt from Dorothy Perkins

Leather Jacket from a Carboot Sale - originally from River Island

Stripy Skinny jeans from Motel Rocks via Topshop

Studded Vectra Loafers from Topshop

Anyway, hope you're all feeling better than me today!

How do you like the new header? I'm wanting a new look but it all takes so long as I'm not really sure what I actually want the blog to look like!

Haul yet to be delivered!

Hi guys,

A quick naughty haul of a few things I've ordered recently.

Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel (or Bronze Universel) Bronzing Makeup Base

I've been wanting to get my hands on this for months and months and months but everywhere had been sold out. I randomly searched online today and managed to order one from Boots online. Yay!

Ray Ban RB3447 Round Metal Sunglasses

I picked mine in the Matte Gunmetal colour with crystal grey polarized mirror silver lenses. I ordered them in a size 50-21. I hope they look okay on and fit alright! Eek, this is the problem with ordering online. They may look awful! However I saw sototallyvlog on youtube wearing them and I think she looks awesome, so!

The Cambridge Satchel Company Classic Satchel

I ordered a CSC Classic Satchel in 14" Yellow for my up coming interview. I needed a bag that would fit A4 paper and notebooks inside and I'm hoping this one will be suitable. I wanted something that would suit my personality and would also spice up my outfit a little! Although I'm still struggling on what to wear! I cannot find any smart trousers that fit me right! Anyway, I absolutely love this colour and I'm so excited for it to be made for me!

Link me in the comments to your most recent hauls. I love looking at what people have been buying!

See you soon guys! x

Michael Kors Watch!

I'm so exciteeeeddddddd!

If you've been following my blog for a while then you will most likely've seen my silver DKNY watch in a number of outfit posts. I bought this watch for myself around 3 years ago as a reward for doing well in my exams and I absolutely loved it. I bought it from Goldsmiths Jewellers and was sure to take out the 3 year Stirling Care Insurance because I knew it would be likely that with daily use, some stones may come out.

I wore this watch pretty much every day for three years. The first time I took it back to get some lost stones replaced was a year ago and two stones had fallen out. The watch got sent off to the repair centre and 6 weeks later I received it back but only one of the two stones had been replaced. Fuming, I had it sent back again. A few weeks later it came back to me with both stones replaced, but with the bracelet damaged. I took it home anyway because I couldn't go without my watch for another few weeks. My dad had to fix it in the end.

Anyway, I wrote a complaint letter about the snotty customer service I received as well as the shoddy 'repair' centre. Nothing came of it.

I took the watch back a couple of weeks ago because another two stones had fallen out. The people that served me the first time recognised me and were nice as pie and made sure to send it off as 'Urgent' so I wouldn't have to wait 6 weeks again. Sure enough, to their word, a week later the watch was sent back to the shop and I received a sheepish phonecall saying it had come back but they had replaced the stones in the wrong colour. They said they would send it back again if I wanted or I could swap it for something to the same price that it was insured for.

They didn't have to tell me that twice. Even though it would cut off the rest of the insurance policy I had paid for (it only had one month left, anyway), I decided OBVIOUSLY to get a brand spanking new watch. FOR FREE. It worked out that I could swap my old watch for this one as well as 3 more years Stirling Care Insurance on this one for absolutely nothing. Hurray!

I think that for such a big company like Goldsmiths, it's absolutely unbelievable that they would have such a shoddy repair centre. It can't just be my watch that has been messed up like this, 4 times! Absolutely ridiculous! Anyway, I'm glad they offered me the chance to exchange it even though it is near on 3 years old.

Anyway, excited, I scoured the website and finally chose this little beauty by Michael Kors.

I absolutely love it. I wanted, originally another silver watch as I wear a lot of silver jewellery but finally decided on this Rose Gold number. I had to have about 5 links taken out, and I haven't quite worked out how to set it all up properly yet, but I'm very happy with it so far!

The details of this watch are as follows:

Michael Kors Ladies Watch with Copper Tone Chronograph Dial, Rose Gold Plated Case and Bracelet and Quartz Movement.

Style number: MK5128

Do you think I made the right choice? Have you had any similar problems with Goldsmiths or your jewellers?

Job Interview O.O.T.D?

I need your guys opinions! I have an assessment day for a retail management scheme in the coming months and I'm struggling on what to wear. I bought a shirt from Topshop the other week and absolutely love it, so would definitely like to wear it. I've put together this outfit and was wondering if you think it's appropriate for an interview, baring in mind that it's with one of the highstreet's biggest companies and I'm guessing that fashion consciousness will be pretty important.

Are leggings appropriate? The shirt does cover all the lady bits and bottom, so I think it's quite conservative. I struggle finding smart trousers that fit, so any suggestions on where sell well fitting pants would be appreciated!

Also, just ordered my new satchel! (Clearly shopping ban has gone completely out of the window!) But how exciting, a lovely yellow addition to my wardrobe. :)
