Fake New Year

Hello again!

So this year, not only did I celebrate New Year's Eve on the 31st, but one of my lovely friends organised a Fake New Year's Eve for us too. Unfortunately, at this time of our lives, me and my friends are all doing different things in different places, so it's very rare that we're all able to get together and do something. Real New Year's Eve was really good fun, but a much smaller, more chilled affair than usual, which was why it was nice to do Fake New Year which was a little more, well, a little more!

I thought I'd share with you the outfit I wore for this get together:

Sorry about the dusty mirror, I didn't realise how bad it was but I was just too tired to clean it and then take the photo again.

I wore another dress from Oasis (http://www.oasis-stores.com///oasis/fcp-product/4470124926#GBP) which was £48, though I was able to use my student discount which made it cheaper.

Then I wore fleece lined black tights from Debenhams (http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_081010530160_-1) again, which saved me during a 12am walk to the beach - madness!

Then I wore my heeled ankle boots also from Debenhams, by Mantaray (http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_050010110060_-1) which are £49 and serving me brilliantly!

My make-up was the same as what I wore for my friends festive drinks, which I'll link just here (http://elizabeebee.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/festive-drinks-make-up-look.html)

And that was everything!

Pantomime OOTD

Hello again!

On the 4th of January I went to see a pantomime with my mum, Godmother and my Godmother's family. We've been to see it every year since I was about 8, and we always go to the Rock'n'Roll Panto at The New Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich. This year was Dick Whittington and as always it was great fun. This year was extra special because we all witnessed the actor playing King Rat (Dan De Cruz) proposing to his partner live onstage. She said yes which led to a standing ovation and a lot of awww's for the happy couple. Here's a link to BBC article about it:

And a link to the theatre website, in case any local people want to buy tickets for future productions:

So, I thought I'd share with you the outfit I wore for our fun family night out.

Please do excuse the flash and my horribly messy room - I'm in the middle of a BIG clear out so everything is slightly muddled at the moment!

I wore a dress from Oasis (http://www.oasis-stores.com///oasis/fcp-product/3770036037#GBP) which was £45, though I was able to use my student discount which made it cheaper.

Then I wore fleece lined black tights from Debenhams (http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_081010530160_-1) which are AMAZING in this cold weather. I'm not sure if the link I've given you is for the same tights I bought, however it's close enough.

Then I wore heeled ankle boots also from Debenhams, by Mantaray (http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_050010110060_-1) which are £49. I bought then when there was an across store discount so they were only about £36, sorry they're more expensive now if you're interested. I really do recommend them though, they're great boots!

And that was everything!

IOTD - Millie Mackintosh - I feel very Made in Chelsea in my ankle boots. FEEL is the optimum word, I definitely don't LOOK as good as those girls!

Outfit of the Day

Hello readers! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and here's to a very Happy New Year!

Yes, yes, I haven't blogged in ages - I knowwwww, I'm really bad at this. However, that's a resolution of mine as I want to take this blog seriously (well, as serious as I can be about anything...) and try really hard to create something that hopefully people will enjoy reading regularly.

So, to get back into things, here's an outfit of the day post. It wasn't actually worn today, in fact it's from a few weeks ago, but I still thought it was worth sharing.

My jumper was bought last January, so unfortunately will not be available (except for maybe on ebay if you're very lucky), but I got it from Topshop for around £25. Isn't the little raccoon just SO cuuuuuute?! I love himmmm! The only problem with it is that the wool is a tad itchy. I have very sensitive skin so maybe it's just me, haha!

The jeans are also from Topshop and much to my dispair are also discontinued, which is so sad because they're AMAZING! They were the Kristen style and were £40. Now these do come up on ebay so if you're interested, then do keep an eye out for them. They're great for girls like me with bigger hips and they're super high waisted so keep everything nicely tucked in. I'm on a mission to find some replacements in another style - comment below if you know of any!

My stud earring was part of a mix and match set, which was also from Topshop and all the ear cuffs are non-pierced and from amazon - they were really cheap too, all around £1/£1.50 each.

Very comfy and cosy for this chilly, chilly weather!

IOTD - Blake Lively. I've just bought the entire boxset of Gossip Girl so I'm really excited to finally past season 3!

Apologies and French holiday!

Hello everybody!

Firstly, sorry for not posting in months. I've been so busy finishing college and, well, enjoying this beautiful weather. I'll try my hardest to post more, but I can't make too many promises - I'm a busy little thing!

I've just arrived home from a really relaxing holiday in Le Touquet, France.

 I went for 6 days and had such a wonderful time. This post is going to be fairly long, but is going to show you some of my outfit of the days and nights, as well as a few of the things I bought while I was out there. Enjoy!

This is the outfit I wore to travel in, minus the leggings I had on in the car. When we got there it was suuuuper hot, so I had to nip into a toilet and take them off (classy lady). The dress is from ASOS.

That night I wore this simple black skater dress from H&M with nude studded sandals from New Look.

The next evening I wore this Aztec print strapless maxi dress which is also from New Look.

It rained on this day so I opted for jeans in the evening, which are from Topshop, along with a peplum vest, cardigan and shoes from New Look.

The weather cleared up really quickly so my next outfit was this cute ditsy print dress from Topshop which is made from 100% organic fabric.

I wore this dress from Next which I dug out of my wardrobe a few days before we left. I hadn't worn it in ages because I got a bit too big for it, but have since slimmed down a little. I'm so happy it fits again!

Then I wore another little ASOS number on our last day.

Here are a few of the purchases I made whilst we were away. I didn't get many bargains because the pound/euro exchange rate is pretty crappy at the moment and it's a very expensive area, but I did pick up some really nice things.

Marc Jacobs is king of perfume! My parents kindly bought me Dot and I got Oh, Lola for myself. I got both because I loved them both so much and couldn't decide! I think they were both around £35 in the duty free shop at the Eurotunnel.

My mum actually found this cute little bag in a boutique we found on a side street in Le Touquet. It was only £10!

Diadermine is a moisturiser I always try to buy when I'm in France. It's really thick and creamy and I like to slather it on at bedtime for a good deep moisturise when I sleep. I thought I'd try the cleanser too - which so far I'm loving. The cleanser was about £5 and the moisturiser was about £8.

I bought this cardigan and dress from Mango. The dress was £25 and the cardigan was £30. I thought they'd be perfect to see me through summer into winter. I did buy another dress but had to take it back because it smelt awful! I was so disappointed, but also embarrassed as I had to work out how to explain the situation in French. I just mumbled something about "maloderant". Oh dear...
