Leopard nails

I found my nail varnish collection !!! So no need to panic !

Today I treated myself to a new Barry m nail varnish in prickly pear. It's from their new gelly shine range which promise a gorgeous shine with pastel and bold colours. I absolutely love this lavender type colour and decided to put on a leopard style print. I don't normally wear animal print but because the colours were different I decided to reverse the black and white, hope you like!

V for vamp varnish

Going along with the gothic trend that's so popular at the moment I have become obsessed with half moon nails designs again! The sad news is that since moving back from uni I have lost my entire nail varnish collection no nail art tools! So iv had to start building up my collection again and have been greatly surprised by Superdrugs's MUA collection. Everything they sell is priced at a pound and the colours are great ! Also the eyeshadows have a great range of colours that stand out and sty on!

A Few Cheeky Buys...

Sooo following on from my last post, I have been able to find and purchase pretty much my whole list! It was a bit of a big spend today, but i was lucky i found the things i was looking for (and a few more!) 


H&M, Neon Necklace £12.99

 
Primark, Faux Leather Skater Skirt £11.00

H&M, Floral Blouse £19.99

Primark Neon Peplum Top £8.00
It even makes a whole outfit, i am absolutely in love with the skirt, and what a bargain!



I found this  gorgeous blouse in Tesco's Florence and Fred in Crawley. I didn'd buy it as I felt guilty for spending enough today and I still had ink to buy for my printer! If you're thinking "Tesco + clothes = wtf?" then you would be wrong! I have found a few gems in there including a dip dyed jumper, a few pairs of super comfy heeled ankle boots (similar to the Topshop Chelsea Boots). So if you are ever in a big Tesco, defo go and look in the clothing section, you never know what you may find for a good price!

Bargain.... what!

I have recently decided my blog needs an overhaul. I  admit I'm not the best most reliable blogger and mostly blog about things I've made, so I thought I would combine my love for a bargain, customization and hunting for fashionable items.
But what to call my blog! I have a few starter ideas....

Bargain Belle (Too girlie I think! )

Bargain Bucket

Bargain Nugget

Penny for your Style

Style for a Penny

I'm not sure yet, but something will come to me!
In the mean time, on my VERY tight budget I will somehow get through the year only buying key pieces and lots of charity shop hunting, eBaying and car boot rustling.

Here are a few pieces I have my eye on :

Leather Skater Skirt and/or Shorts


Leather is a big trend this winter and I recently purchased a brand new leather jacket from Topshop (after all it IS a staple and a classic I feel- so worth the money! ). Another gorgeous item is the skater skirt. SO flattering of any shape and creates a great silhouette and feminine shape!
This one from eBay is a cute shape and also has a studded waist band which adds to the gothic look. Normally I don't really like buying items from eBay that are a wholesalers or abroad because the materials are normally cheap and don't last long, but maybe I should give it a shot?

Neon & Chunky Necklaces


Slightly in love with neon green at the moment and this chunky necklace would be a gorgeous piece to add to a knitted jumper or plain buttoned up shirt to add that shot of colour. Bargain price too - booyah!


I'm always on the hunt and seem to have a gravitational pull to statement necklaces at bargain prices.
I am currently looking for a necklace that goes all the way around the neckline that would be perfect to decorate underneath a shirt collar or a neckline. This one is quite on trend, silver and I can imagine it going under a shirt quite well!
 








Update on life!

It has been a long while since I last blogged and many things have happened !

1. I have finished my BA course in Fashion Styling with a 2:1 and am graduating in November (yay!)


2. I have been away on three holidays in the summer, which has well and truly broken my bank account and stopped me from making any money what so ever!
Sardinia 

Turkey

Corfu 


3. I am now starting a MA course in Fashion Promotion and Imaging!
I have always wanted to do this course, before I started my BA, but now I can revert back to what I love doing and use all the skills I've learnt along the way too. 

It was quite a shock being thrown back into education after having the job mind set, but as I felt like there wasn't a job out there that I could go straight into and enjoy I was craving more knowledge. Its not going to be an easy ride but I shall give it my best!
