Spooky suprises.

Hii,
I entered a competition with a company that I Love. Before I tell the story, I just want to tell everybody that I have the worst luck! I never win anything.. But guess what!?
I WON! Yaay, so I won a cute Halloween lucky dip/goodie bag from the company Cheap Frills. I have followed her on Instagram for a while now, constantly 'liking' and admiring the jewels that this girl makes, yes makes! She hand makes all of her pieces, which makes them all the more unique.
So imagine my excitement when I won a whole goodie bag, full of surprises (you can buy one on the website here)..


So this is what the lucky dip bag came like, and here are the stages of me opening it up (while getting myself super excited at what I'm going to find inside!)
I Love the fact that this comes with an old school wax stamp on the parcel to seal the jewellery inside, such a cute idea. She also took the time to wrap every item individually and add some spooky Halloween confetti to the package, which really surprised me when I opened it.



AHHH HOW COOL ARE THESE!? I definitely have a new favourite necklace. If you read my blog or follow me on Instagram you will know I am obsessed with anything to do with horror, gore and Halloween. I am a huge fan of the original black and white horror films and Love how they look.
Imagine my excitement when I open the parcel and she's only gone and put my favourite earrings and necklace combo inside! 
So yes these are my personal favourites on her page. Then I open a really cute bone bracelet and neon skull earrings! Awh, super cute and kawaii.
Just the way I like it.
So check out Cheap Frills and let me know what your favourite piece is?
I just want to say a big Thank you to Georgia at Cheap Frills, I will definately be back for the Wednesday Addams necklace!

Retro inspired styling.


I Love vintage and retro clothing, jewellery and accessories. You know when your looking at old pictures of your Mother and somebody says, oh wow you two really look alike? Well I swear I am a carbon copy of her, from everything I wear, buy and like. Everything I want now, she had in the 80's. Sometimes I'll even get asked where something is from and it will be her original vintage piece from when she was my age! Crazzzy! 
 I'm not complaining though, means I get cool one of original pieces and at the same time I have a Mother than knows what I like and can grab me a good bargain up when she's shopping ;)!
So yes this little delight of a dress! Is original vintage, costing £3.50! It was so cheap because it does have slight damage to the front, but it is barely noticeable when on :) I can probably get it fixed too.
When I put my favourite belt on, it's hidden too!
Soo this dress is such an old school pattern, like a dog tooth check in mustard, blue and red.
Such a vintage fit too, I loved the neck of this dress. Roll neck with a zip going all the way up to the top.
I felt it was only fitting to match my hair and make-up to the style of this dress:
Slight obsession with this app at the moment too, hehe.
I just feel it suits my blog better and it's something a little different.
I love this hair style, it's my favourite one to do but can only be done when I have the time to back comb the life out of it! Literally! 
Foundation: MAC Studio fix in NC15 plus matching powder.
Brows: Illamasqua brow cake in Thunder.
Eyeliner: Collection 2000 black.
Mascara: MAC lasting lash? I want to say it's in a blue tube! Eek, damn my messy make-up bag for rubbing of the name!
Lipstick: MAC Ruby Woo.

Grunge vibes.

If anybody ever asks me what is a 'must' have fashion item of clothing, I will always say a check/lumberjack shirt. They are the easiest/comfiest thing to chuck on in any weather :).
 When I did my photo shoot for the ASOS Marketplace 'We Could Forever' I got to wear some beaut clothes and everything I modelled I would wear myself or currently have something similar in my own floordrobe  wardrobe.
I love this outfit! Really wanted to keep this shirt :( but alas it was not meant to be it is for some other lucky lady to have :).
I love the colours, so autumnal and easy to wear. I Love clashing my clothes and liked the fact that I got to wear my bright red Jeffrey Campbell Litas (with cute frilly Topshop ankle socks) I always wear my socks lately with any shoe, Love them! They brighten up and make any outfit interesting.


Currently obsessing over anything tartan/check patterned. Such a huge look this AW13 and I love it!
Suits anybody too so its such a good pattern, this shirts a good length as well meaning you can tuck it in and wear it with leggings :).
Slightly different angle, okay ;) I just like this picture because of the colours, location and outfit :).


Hat: Primark £8.99
Lipstick: MAC Rubywoo (stays on for hours) £14.00
Black crop top: Primark £2.50 *Basic bargain alert*
Flannel grunge shirt: We Could Forever.
Mum jeans: Glamorous, similar found in Topshop.
Shoes: Found on a few sites, Jeffrey Campbell litas. (Mine were bought from Office and my other pair from Solestruck)
Shop around for the shoes, some places vary in price or sometimes offer discounts :)!

Autumn sorted with She Inside...

Soo, todays a rubbish day i'm off ill from work and thought theres no better time than to do a great blog post on one of my favourite online stores She Inside :)!
As you all know i've been uploading pictures of Halloween/Autumn inspired outfit posts as I think it is the best time of the year to express yourself, because you can really layer outfits and experiment with different looks! So here is my most wanted collections from www.sheinside.com.
Sweaters:
I am really into the whole food as a fashion statement look this season :) I think it's such a quirky idea. If your not afraid to be different, you should totally be rockin' on of these this season! My favourite out of them all is the cupcake one (my favourite snack) mmm.. Team each of these amazing statement pieces with your favourite pair of comfy jeans and converse on those lazy cold autumn days and your good to go!
Find the entire collection of these sweaters here and make heads turn!
Graphic tees:
You can never, and I mean never have too many graphic tees, they are the perfect item to have in your wardrobe and can be worn with anything! I have made a collection of my personal favourites here, shockingly they are all black (If in doubt wear black) that is a rule I will always live by, it is the easiest colour to wear and style. 
I love that these T-shirts are oversized, for comfort and ease to wear. My ideal outfit would be one of these tops, tucked in to a pair of high waisted levi cut off shorts and knee high socks, with my favourtie pair of coltrane boots and a chunky knit and scarf :) ideal for this mixed weather (in England anyways) the weathers crazy at the moment here!
1. Coco made me do it tee found here.
2. Magic print tee found here.
3. Cross cat print tee found here.
4. Bart Simpson cross print tee here.
Personal favourites:
Now I know this ones a little mixed, I decided to do a personal favourites collage, while I was internet browsing the site (which I tend to do constantly, even on my phone on the bus) oops.. I found these four amazing pieces, I usually tend to wear a lot of black and white. But have fallen in love with these items and only one is black and white! Bonus for me.
1. The My Little Pony 'Go To Hell' tee, I have been after this top for ages but everytime I see it, is is mega overpriced and I can't justify spending that much on one T-shirt. However I came across it on the She Inside website and it's so affordable. Find this item here.
2. Paris mesh top, I love this top becasuse well its black and white, matches anything and is so unique. I've always liked mesh pieces but the writing on this is amazing too, looks just like the Nars make-up writing which makes me love it even more! Find this amazingly unique top here.
3. Pizza cute crop top, I love love love pizza yummm, one of my favourtie foods ever so this top is adorable and right up my street (back to the food statement pieces) eek. Would look mega cute with high waisted jeans or disco pants, easy to wear and such a nice colour too.
4. Donald Duck flare skirt, Is this not the cutest thing you have ever seen in your life!? Awh, I am a huge Disney fan and he's well...adorable! This skater skirt is so kawaii, would look cute with chunky tights, a chunky knit and a leather jacket. Rock it up a little I always say ;)! Love the whole cute meets grunge look. I am not a typical girls girl, but think this skirt needs to be in my life! Find it here.
I forgot to mention, when you sign up to the website you receive a 15% off coupon, even better if you sign in to Facebook through the website you receive 20% off :) what a bargain! Means you can spend more and pay less! Wahoo.
So for these amazing pieces visit the She Inside website here and go forth and treat youselves <3

Blackmilk has taken over my soul!

Hii! I have been so excited to do this blog post and it's finally here!! As you will have heard because I wouldn't shut the hell up about it  because I've mentioned it on Instagram, Facebook and here, I finally ordered some Blackmilk Clothing! OMG. I have bought things of theirs off of Ebay, but I finally ordered from the actual website, having saved some of my pennies! I knew the Halloween range would be amazing, because it was last year. So I thought to myself right, if they release something I absolutely Love I'll buy it.. (Of course I knew there would be something I love, I am OBSESSED with this clothing brand, I follow them on everything.
Anyways i'm getting over excited here, the package came and I was soo excited, I sent for it recorded so I knew the items would arrive before Halloween (not that this is an issue as I dress like its Halloween all year around) but you know I was desperate to have it on my body ASAP!
I payed an extra about £10 to get this express delivery, I knew there was an off chance of getting charged on the door for the import tax.. but imagine my face when I was on my dinner break at work (eating soup) skint as hell to get told the charge was £59.20!! WHAT THE HELL, now I don't blame the company at all as it is not their fault and I would buy over and over again from them, because the packaging and service was immense. Including their own staff helping me pick my size and items!
Lovely people working there, hopefully one day I will get to collab with them, so if your reading this anybody in the Blackmilk team ;)...
Dear Muscle 2.0 catsuit, YOU ARE MY NEW BEST FRIEND! MARRY ME!?
How amazing is this though really!?
Well worth the money, great quality, great fit and amazing packaging and send out package :) super happy.
This catsuit was only available for 48hrs so I told myself I needed it in my life! Duty fees or not.
I wanted to do a really spooky/Halloween/creepy themed pose for this outfit, so I stole my Mums kitchen knife.. haha.. yes I got a lot of stares from the neighbours including one of them asking me what I was doing.. awk! Hahaha.
I want to live in this outfit for ever and ever.. My fave shoes look perf with it too as they are both a very similar style. The shoes I have on are the Jeffrey Campbell spike Litas. (Another item I convinced myself I needed) oops! 
The lace black kimono is from Missguided and I absolutely love it :) such a nice touch to outfits that you just want to add a little more detail to.
UHMAAAAZING!
3 of my favourite things for sure.. Now I just need to convince myself to take it off....
