Time for a sort!

From this...


To this!


Ahh, feels good to be in a bit of order.
I was planning on posting an OOTD today but I left my camera at my boyf's brother's house. So this will have to do.

I picked up the yellow drawers and brush holder from TK Maxx and I love it!

Hair cut!

Went to get a trim today!
Now in Wetherspoons getting a pub lunch. Yum yum.

O.O.T.D and then I got soaked!

O.O.T.D where I actually bothered to do my hair... then as soon as I got out of my car, it poured down and the curls were no more. Damnit.

Olympic Torch!

So today in my home town, the Olympic Torch was carried past my work. We were all dressed in red, white or blue to celebrate the event. I thought I'd sport a blue shirt from Dorothy Perkins and red lippy which is Top Tomato Ultimate Colour Stay Lip Colour from Revlon.


I even managed to grab a sneaky picture because I was naughty and snook my phone into my pocket after my tea break.


Unfortunately the weather has been truly awful today and it hasn't stopped raining all day.
I also spent a good portion of my afternoon cleaning up piss water as some delightful person thought it would be hilarious to turn on all the taps full blast in the male toilets at work, causing the whole floor to flood and gush out onto the shop floor. Lovely.
Anyway! All for the excitement.

Hope the weather was a bit better wherever you are. Did the Olympic Torch pass through your home town?

O.O.T.D feat. Disco Pants and a walk along the Prom!

Evening everyone! A quick outfit post today from yesterday's walk along the prom with the boyf. I decided to take my new Disco Pants and spiked shoes on their maiden voyage. The sun was shining and I didn't need a jacket, which was lovely.


Checked shirt from Topshop.


Black basic tee from Dorothy Perkins.


American Apparel Disco Pants in black.




Bag from The Cambridge Satchel Company.


Michael Kors watch style MK5128 in Rose Gold.
Pinky ring from Topshop.
Thumb ring is vintage.


Thumb ring, again, vintage.
Tiny skull bracelet by Iwona Ludyga.
Green nail polish is Mint Candy Apple by Essie.
Pink nail polish is Fiji by Essie.


NEW FAVOURITE SHOES! 
My beloved Unif Hellraiser spiky loafer.


We went to check out the new graffiti artwork from this year's Sand Sea and Spray event...

...and slid down some hand rails.
(Dan fell off, I didn't!)


I also had a cheeky look in Topshop and picked up this skull necklace in the jewellery sale.


As well as a set of ear cuffs.
Excuse the number of spots!


After a naughty Burger King on the prom, we went to see the stage on which Elton John performed last week, and where The Wanted and McFly will be performing this Saturday. It's located right opposite Blackpool Tower on the Headlands. Behind the stage is the sea. :)


Couldn't resist putting this photo on! :)


Hope you're all doing well! Have you had much sun where you live?

Dinner on the Prom.

Had a cheeky Burger King on the Promenade today. Nice and sunny!


UNIF HELLRAISER

So I sold a pair of sunglasses on ebay a few days ago and the profit was burning a hole in my paypal account, so I took the decision to make a purchase of some shoes that I'd been eyeing up for months.

You may recall that I posted HERE about some killer dupes that I got from Ebay of the UNIF Hellraiser spiked loafers. I really loved these shoes but unfortunately were too small. I ordered the next size up which arrived and were too big. Luckily I've managed to resell both pairs so haven't lost out on any money, but it spurred me on to go for the real deal instead of messing about with deliveries from Hong Kong of cheaper knockoffs.

Anyway. Long story short. I bought them from shopbop.com, an American website. I ordered 11pm on Monday night and they arrived at my house Wednesday at 1pm. I was SO surprised at how amazingly fast the shipping was from the US to UK. I've had parcels from the UK that took longer to receive. I'm super happy with my purchase and can't wait to wear them EVERY DAYYYY!!

Here's some pics from the unboxing.





Just a quick side note for if you're planning on buying these shoes from Shopbop.com. I went on their size guide and it said that size UK4 was size US7. I always wear a size 4 and whenever I've had a US  sized shoe they have always been labelled as a size US6. I was a bit hesitant of which size to order, but went with my gut and ordered a US6. The box comes labelled as that, and also as EU36, which is infact, as far as I'm aware, a UK3. However, these shoes fit perfectly. I'm pretty sure their size guide is wrong as I'm sure that these are a UK4!

London Haul

As promised, here's my haul from London. The other half and I went for a long weekend away for our 5 year anniversary and I managed to pick up loads of goodies after dragging him round the shops! 
I also managed to grab a fair few of the items on my wishlist too!


NARS Laguna Bronzer
NARS Orgasm Blush - I originally planned on getting the shade Deep Throat, but preferred the other colour when I tested them out.
MAC Hue Lipstick.
MAC Blankety Lipstick.

I also included these two Essie nailvarnishes which I picked up at Boots when I got back.
I got the shade Mint Candy Apple and Fiji.


I then went to American Apparel and got my hands on the Disco Pants in black. I also picked up 3 bandeau bra tops to wear underneath low armed tees.

I'd seen this next item on Zara online and loved it. I bought it in the red colour and would have definitely bought it in blue if they had it but I went in about four Zaras and couldn't find it in the other colour. You may see a theme running in the next few items...


STUDS GALORE!
I walked past this denim studded jacket in Topshop and nearly died. I had to run back and snag it for myself. I absolutely love it.


And this last item wasn't on my wishlist as I never thought I'd actually get them but my lovely, lovely boyf surprised me and got me them as an anniversary present. They are the Jeffrey Campbell Spiked Litas in black...HOW AMAZING ARE THEY!?!


They will probably sit on my shelf for most of the time looking beautiful as I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to wear them out on a casual basis... do I or don't I? I think I'm going to have to practice walking around in them at home before I venture outside haha!

Hope you all are having a lovely week. 
Thanks for all the comments recently, I really love reading them all :)
