Not had the best couple of weeks, with having mocks and being told I had a job when I actually didn't, but I'm determined to end December and 2013 on a high! I'm looking forward to just dropping everything and enjoying the next two weeks. We have a week of sixth form left but thankfully most of it will consist of Christmas quizzes, and I also have a night out bowling with my football team and my grandparents are taking me to a Christmas show too! What are you doing for your last couple of weeks of 2013?!

Let me go

COAT & TOP - PRIMARK // JONI JEANS & BOOTS - TOPSHOP

An outfit consisting of only the cheapest highstreet brand and one of the most expensive! I really love this outfit and I don't quite know why - I love the oversized coat, and I think the blue top brings some colour to the look. These photos are from the many I took a while ago, I no longer have the collage wall and my hair is now a lot shorter (boo!) but also a lot healthier! It's surprising how much a haircut can do - I'm pratically knot free now!

Under £10 stocking fillers for her

Sunday, 8 December 2013


Those little gifts are sometimes the nicest ones and it's amazing what you can find for under a tenner!! I think all of these gifts are 'safe' options, as long as the person you're buying for is relatively girly and intrested in fashion and beauty. I love the glam nail wraps and sparkly earphones, and along with the nail varnishes and make-up bag they're the perfect girly girl presents. 

Wholesome Bling fabric watch

WATCH* - WHOLESOME BLING

I've really got into wearing watches since starting Sixth Form, I tend to avoid looking at my phone for the time while in lessons so I don't get distracted by the ever so distracting twitter. I'm pretty sure my heart breaks a tiny bit every time I realise I've forgotten to put my watch on.

Recently I was contacted by Wholesome Bling introducing me to their Fabric watches. They aim to provide "affordable bling (a state of mind rather than accessories) to fashion-conscious people, who truly appreciate a cup of tea with their nan" and boy oh boy do they do that. I jumped onto the website to pick out what watch I wanted to try out and I decided for the simple monochrome skulls one. They have eight different designs, each come in the small or large face, mine being the larger face. Every strap is hand stitched and prices range from £22-24. 

I received the watch carefully packaged a few days later and literally 'awed' out loud when I opened it. It was wrapped ever so cutely in some tissue paper and a little ribbon. It was so pretty I had to photograph it before hand, and made my brother take some snaps on it seeing as I couldn't get up thanks to a doggie snuggled up asleep on me, it's a well known fact you can't disturb sleeping animals, even for a blog post! Every watch comes in an even cuter jam jar which I love and am currently trying to figure out what I can use it for! Onto the watch.. it's so gorgeous, the face is big and clear, easy enough to read despite it being numberless! The gold makes it very glam and the silk fabric print makes it so unique. With christmas coming up, I really think this would be the perfect gift! Even better, to celebrate the launch of it's new website, Wholesome Bling is offering 10% off until 20th December, just use the code 'New10%off' at the checkout!

Under £10 stocking fillers for him

Monday, 2 December 2013


Stocking fillers for men are just as hard as proper presents for them! I find the humour gifts to be one of the easiest because every man is up for a laugh. Being a woman, I had to put in some kind of beauty in the list so I decided for the Nip + Man moisturiser as I use a few of the female products in this line. My brothers been after a little wallet to take on nights out so this cheap one is perfect because let's face it, it's probably going to end up getting lost anyway! Typical Lucy, choosing the paisley pattern too! I was super impressed with this Sound Egg speaker, my brothers are always listening to music when they get ready so a speaker seemed ideal and at such a small price too, it's perfect!
