The Sunshiiiiiiiiiine

Yaaaaaaay the sunshine has finally made an appearance and it has put me in such a good mood!

My skull choker finally arrived...

Skull Choker - 99p (+£1.69 postage) - On4Buy, eBay

After waiting for what seemed like FOREVER for my necklace to arrive ( it was coming all the way from Hong Kong), it finally came earlier this week and for £2.68 including postage I really can't complain. I was hoping that it would be tighter so that I could wear it higher up on my neck but it turns out it's more of a short necklace rather than a choker. It's still such a bargain though and I will definitely wear it. In this photo I am wearing it with my plain black bodycon dress (as seen in my previous post - The Work Wear). I will continue my search for a 90's style choker and of course I will keep you updated.

With the sun out nearly every day this week I went through my wardrobe to see what could be resurrected from last summer. I also singled out a few pieces to be thrown onto eBay so that I'll have money to make a few of the items on my wish list a reality! 

Ricky and I went out for lunch today and the sun was shining so I decided to make an effort and ended up wearing this outfit...

Crop Top - Topshop - Old
Dip Hem Skirt - River Island - Old
Studded Pumps - Primark - £10

It was nice to wear something a bit more colourful but it was a shame I still had to wear tights. This outfit would look so much better with bare legs and flip flops (and a tan)! 

Since it's been a bit warmer I've found myself chucking on my grey zippy hoody quite often instead of my coat and I had a £5 eBay voucher from opening up my new Nineties-Wardrobe eBay account so I bought this simple black zippy hoody and only had to pay £2.95 for the postage. Even cheaper than Primark!

Ladies Plain Zip Up Hoody - £4.85 (+2.95 postage) - Pure Fashion, eBay

I would love to hear about any bargains you have found recently so don't be afraid to leave me a comment (with a link to your blog if you have one).

The Bestie

One of my best friends came to visit me today and we had a day of retail therapy. I was trying not to spend too much moola but I couldn't resist a few more bits of jewellery from Primark...

Gold Triangle Earrings - Primark - £2.50
Chunky Silver Ring - Primark - £2.00
Silver Aztec Hoop Earring - Primark - £1.50

What do you think?

The New Job

I've recently started a new job at Topshop. I worked there for several years before leaving when I moved to Reading but now I've returned as a manager... ooooooh! I've already spotted so many things that I NEED to buy so I've pretty much written off my first months wages! Here's what has caught my eye so far...

Big Stripe Midi Dress - Topshop - £28

I am a big fan of the midi dress and I am loving this monochrome number. I haven't really jumped on the monochrome bandwagon yet but I think that this may just be the piece that gets me involved. The scoop back gives it that extra bit of interest and could be worn with plain black tights until the weather warms up a little.

'Mom' Jeans - Topshop - £40

Being a 90's kid, I can't get enough of this 90's vibe that is spreading like wildfire at the moment. These 'Mom' jeans are a must-have for any 90's wardrobe and I can't wait to try them on. I think that they would look great with converse or even dressed up with chunky heels. I can't decide which colour I like best though!

Tent Lace Up Hi Top Boots - Topshop - £35

I've been looking for some reasonably priced hi tops for ages now and these caught my eye at work the other day. I love the striking monochrome and I think that these would just be easy and comfy to wear. They would also go well with the Stripe Midi Dress AND the Mom jeans... hehe.


What's on your wish list at the moment?

The Busy Week

This week started off with me having Easter Sunday and Easter Monday off which was amazing! On Monday I hit the shops to see what bits and bobs I could find. I neaaaarly purchased these amazing shoes from H&M but I managed to stop myself. However, they are now sitting in my shopping bag on the H&M website so in a weak moment I may just click 'proceed to checkout'! I think they are such good value for money but I'm already 5ft 8 so I'm just worried that I'll look like a giant in them!

Peep Toe Chunky Heels - H&M - £24.99

My next stop was the one place where I knew for sure I could walk out with a bargain - Primark! I really wanted some statement gold jewellery as I only really have silver and I ended up with a great necklace, some earrings and a pack of gold and silver rings. The necklace had a really tacky string of black beads so I just removed these and left the plain gold chains.

Necklace - Primark - £4
Earrings - Primark - £2

Set Of 6 Rings - Primark - £2

I've been loving all of the nineties influences that have been cropping up all over the high street and so I decided to have a go at making some of my own tie-dye t-shirts on Monday afternoon. They turned out quite nice...

That's so 90's baby!

I've put these t-shirts up on eBay along with some other stuff so click on the picture if you fancy owning one of them.


If you remember, I ordered a bargainous dress from ASOS a few weeks ago and it arrived...

Dress - ASOS, Cross Necklace - Primark, Chain Necklace - Vintage, Heart Tights - Primark, Frill Socks - Primark, Chelsea Boots - Topshop

I love this dress! It's so comfy and could be worn on a night out, in the day with a jacket or on holiday chucked over a bikini. Very pleased with this purchase!


I also started a new job at Topshop this week so that means one thing... STAFF DISCOUNT! Haha! Keep your eyes peeled for the latest Topshop pieces as I spend all my wages!
