Were standing on a tiny ledge, before this goes over the edge.

I swear, every time I get money it's gone before I even realize I had it! Today I went shopping to Harrow on the Hill, and I bought some really cute things!
First, my friend and I went to all the regular high street shops. I bought a cute camel crop top for just £5, and a scarf for my hair. The scarf is so cute! It has a thin metal wire inside it, so you can easily fasten it around your head! And it was just £2!

Later on, we took the train to a local town, and went to all the charity shops. I bought a pair of cardigan beige uggs with buttons down the sides for just £6, I was so proud of myself! I also found a cute navy blue granddad cardigan. It's a men's size small, but it was too amazing not to buy! I've been looking for one for ages so I was so happy when I found it!
Here are some photographs of some of my purchases!

Tacky, Floral, what's not to like?

A few days ago I ordered a new pair of Floral Leggings from Ebay and they came today! I'm so happy with them, they fit perfectly, and the print is Gorgeous! They only cost me £2.20 plus £2 for postage, I love Ebay so much! I know these pictures aren't much but I didn't really have a lot of time tonight. Please comment and tell me what you think.

3,096 Days

Wow, my blog has been overly neglected lately! I've been studying and been very busy, but I thought I should do a post before I lose all my lovely followers! I don't have time to take any pictures at the moment but I promise some will follow soon! This Friday my Best Friend and I are planning a photography session in the garages by her house.

Anyway. Back to today's post! One of the presents I received in my stocking for Christmas this year was the biography of Natascha Kampusch. The strong willed girl who was abducted on her way to school on the 2nd of March 1998, aged just 10. When she emerged from captivity in 2006, having endured one of the longest abductions in recent history, her childhood had gone.

Her story has touched me greatly. She survived 8 years living in captivity, on the brink of starvation, with no contact with any other humans other than her captor, Wolfgang Priklopil, and she survived it. I look at all my 'problems' and the problems of those around me and I see that its nothing. Nothing in contrast to what this amazing girl went through!

So basically, the moral of the story is no matter how bad you think it is, it could always be worse! Keep your head up, pull yourself through it. Because at the end of the day there's always something or someone there worth smiling about!

I definitely recommend reading it! Its not a book I will forget for a long time.

Bright eyes, Big smile, makes for a pretty girl.

Every half term as a child I used to go stay at my Aunts house in Bournemouth for a few days. We would go to the beach and the fair and the theatre and have an amazing time. But as we grew older we seemed to stop going there and stayed in my boring little town for the holidays.

So when a few weeks ago my aunt asked if my sister and I would like to go stay with her for a few days we jumped at the chance! So on Saturday morning we set off on the two hour trip to Bournemouth. 

We were taken dog racing (where I won £3, woo!), to the beach, to the gym, to the cinema and to the huge Poole Shopping Mall. Home to a four story Primark. Here is where I spent the majority of my time (and money).



These were my Primark purchases of the day. And the pink nail varnish it what I managed to purchase from H&M with my dog winnings... !




I bought these thick grey tights for just £3. They remind me of my old days at First school, when the winter uniform would come out and I would be bundled into my thick grey tights and cardigan then carted of to school with no cares about how my hair or make-up looked. My only worry was making sure I didn't scrape my knees.
I bought the skirt from Topshop in the sales last year, cardigan and necklace both from new look.



I bought this skirt a few weeks ago from ebay for just £3, the cardigan is an old one of my mums from topshop.



I love this cardigan! I think it is the nicest item I have ever purchased from primark. It has a lacy feel to it but it is actually cotton. Its warm and looks good with all my clothes!



I apologise now for my ugly - no make-up face. I like this look alot. I bought the jumper for £11 from Primark, the skirt was given to me by a friend who purchased it from a charity shop and then stitched the lace all round the bottom. The scarf in my hair was also from Primark, but I tied it wrong and didn't realise which is why it looked really bulky in the photo.

Its surprising how tiring it is to throw on a few outfits and pose for the camera!
Hope you enjoyed my post!

Latest style crush..

Hello dedicated bloggers! I am sorry I have not blogged for a while, too much course work and too little inspiration.
Recently I have grown a slight obsession for the styling of the beautiful Fearne Cotton. The edgy indie chick has been the main subject of my wardrobe envies for the past few weeks.

Here are some photographs of the Lovely Fearne..






Woud do you think of her grungy stylings? Comments please!
