Newcastle Blonde.

I don’t know what I would call this style so lets go for crazymothafu***mongface. But I do love it and I am wearing all of my absolute favourite items of clothing in one hell of a mess look so it’s all good in the hood bizzatccheezzz.

Bowler hat: £5 – Stiches.
Glasses: £1 – Primark.
Jumper:£1 – Charity Shop.
Fantasy Fur Coat: £5 – Charity Shop.
Denim shorts: Cast off from Benny I believe which I cut up to micro size naturally.
Love Heart Tights: £6 – Topshop.
Studded Ankle Boots: £15 – that shop that isn’t Garage but near there.
Nude Satchel: £10 – Primark.

As you can now see in the above picture I am a blonde, have I got any dumber? – yes, that bleach must kill millions of brain cells.

Sequins Galore.

Bonjour blogarinis,

Sorry about my little leave of absence but snow + essay + no money = one sad little Chantal. However, as Take That would say I’m (btw is anybody else pissed off about Mark Owen being downgraded now that the glorified druggie who is Robbie Williams is back?) back for gooooodddd.

Now, I haven’t had a BIG shopping trip in ages and yes, I am extremely depressed about it but with a few random walks through town to get to the bus station or to buy important things like food and knitting needles I have managed to scour out a few barginous buys.

First up, its every girls best friend – no not diamonds but Primark of course. Unfortunately, everybodys favourite shop hasn’t pleased me very much over the last couple of months so I wasn’t expecting to come across anything amazing while wondering aimlessly through.

Wes Brown Syndrome.

Yes I am currently suffering from that embarrassing disease of Wes Brown-avitus. My skin and hair have blended all together into one colour! – time to dye my locks I think, but what colour? – red, blonde, black, vimto? – the possibilites are endless, but all I do know is that I need it transformed ASAP before I am one block of beigey/brown-ness.

Anyways, less about my scary syndrome and more about my fashion…

Leather Jacket: Topshop – £30 (god, I have had a lot of wears out of this jacket – well worth the money.)
Oversized Camel Blouse: Topshop £40 – I JOKE, I JOKE! £1 – Charity Shop. (but really they are this expensive in Topshop – its quite sickening TBH )
Necklaces: Various places – £2 – £4.
Dark Denim shorts: Charity Shop – £1.
Studded Barrel Bag: Primark – £9 – IKR WTF?! – but I did desperately need it and its the perfect size so the amazingness has balanced out the OTT price.
Woolen Tights: Primark – £2.
Black Brogues: Primark – £8.

A piece of advice from me to you: do not wear micro denim shorts when riding a bike – OUCH!

misprice much?

So today I went in to Topshop thinking “the new sale won’t offer me anything good – I will have to wait at least month before I even start looking for some good bargains” but oh boy, oh how wrong I was.

Walking towards the back (or front – depends what way you walk in) to ‘the sale’ my BFF’s and I went via the shoe department. My eyes were soon drawn to a pair of black velvet-esque wedges with an unbelievable heel on them which I adored but this girl ain’t going to pay £40 for a pair of shoes – oh noooo.

Autumn/Winter wardrobe – DONE.

With uni starting up again this week I thought I should spend my last totally free weekend going on an absolute shopping binge. Off I popped into town with my trusty shopping list that I wrote in shorthand for some unknown reason so naturally I went into a bit of a crazed frenzy in Primark trying to read back what F and R followed by a S T F meant.

After a few minutes standing there in the middle of everybodys way I realised it meant fur stuff – i’m great with words ain’t I? I scurried off to the back of the store where all the jems are hidden in order to find some furry items to place upon my head.

Stitch like a bitch.

In todays customization tutorial I will show you how to turn an old, boring and tired denim jacket…

…into an amazing one-of-a-kind, patches-a-plenty, fringe-flyin’ gillet…

£40 down to £10 = :D.

So I was just mindlessly walking (yet again) through Topshop in order to get to Topman to find some cool cufflinks (in which they had none.) When I thought “oh, I will walk past the sale rail, yano  just in case anything cool and cheap is there.” I was going through the messy rails wondering out loud why Topshop are charging £15 for a tiny piece of cotton when I came across THE JEANS.

As I said in this blog, I believed the jeans didn’t live up to my expectations as they weren’t tight enough and I looked like a  bit of an emo plus the fact that I only had £17 and they were £20 meant I couldn’t of bought them anyways. However, to my excitement the jeans had been discounted from £40 to £20 to £10. So I thought I might as well try them on again and have another think.

The power of love.

Note: Do not wear a body-con skirt when going for a XL curry.

Thursday 19th August.

Leather Jacket: Topshop – £30
Back to the future t-shirt: Topshop – £9
Black bodycon skirt: H&m – £7.99
Floral tights: Italy – free as they were a present or they might be from Primark IDK.
Black Brogues: Primark – £8
Satchel: Primark – £6

Just putting it out there, I bought the Back to the future t-shirt as I LOVE that film and yes when I see girls in the t-shirt I do want to walk up to them and ask if they have ever seen the film, I’m guessing the majority of the answers would be “no” – same with girls who wear Rolling Stones/Led Zep tops and never have heard even one song by them. GRRRRR.

BTW every girl should have a black body-con skirt in their wardrobe – they are both a necessity and a marvel, they go with everything and hug you in all the right places to show off your sexy figure (well if you are a size 12 or under – don’t bother with such a skirt if you are over a size 12, thank you).

p.s: how ferosh does my hair look?

The birthday list – updated.

It has now been 3 days since I turned 21 – I still have the mind of a 12-year-old though, one of those nice, innocent ones btw not one of those alcohol filled ASBO ones – so I thought I better do an update on my birthday list. What I got, what I didn’t get and the most amazing surprises of all time ever! – which I will come onto later.

It was acceptable in the 80s – and still is now.

First off, I want to say thank you to my wonderful boyfriend who made my amazing new banner for ‘Daily Fashion’ – I LOVE IT! Thank you Benny :D.

Sorry, about the lack of blog updates recently, it’s been my birthday so I have been ultra busy the last few days but now I will get back on track so don’t worry.

Todays outfit is brought to you by the letter N (for Newcastle as that’s where I went) and the number 1986 (the year I’m channeling.)

Glasses: £1 – Primark.
Floral Scarf: Stolen from my mam who got it as a Christmas present – M&S.
Black T: I’m guessing it’s from Primark so probs about £2.
White pleather jacket: £9.99 – eBay.
Crocodile skin-esque satchel: £13.45 – Faith (in debenhams)
Fringe Jeans: Fringe: £1.20 – Boyes. Jeans: £28 – Topshop. Sew them together as seen in this blog and you yourself can get a fabulous and fierce pair of fringe flying jeans.
Ankle boots (which I LOVE & I can’t wait for winter so I can wear them more often): Studio – £22.

Oh BTW how amazing does my hair look in this picture. I recently got it dyed more of a ginger colour and now I feel like a female version of Ron Weasley: ginger, poor, dumb and I like to say the word bloody a lot – yes it’s a good thing.
