The birthday list

This Thursday I shall finally reach the grand ol’ age of 21. Not sure why 21 is such a milestone age since everything is legal at 18 (not that I do anything that became legal at that age) perhaps it’s just the UK bumming of the USA again where the age 21 actually stands for something. Oh, you do get a key, but I don’t particularly need a key.

Anyways, whilst at the hairdressers yesterday, (more on that later) I came up with my ideal list of birthday gifts and they range in everything from well, check it out yourself…

Reap what you sew.

In this mini tutorial I will show you how to turn a boring old pair of had-their-day jeans…

Into the most fabulous and fierce pair of fringe flying jeans you could ever wish to see…

For a mere £1.20 and an old pair of jeans…

Size 6 please

So today I had many things in which I needed to look pretty for:

A) Passport picture time, I shall be holidaying in Italy next month but don’t worry I shall try and update my blog whenever possible.

Hopefully this picture won't be embarrassing in 10 years time.

B) I met up with a friend so I had to look nice for that and better than her – that isn’t too difficult though. Ooo what a bitch I am.

C) I went over to Benny’s so I have to look nice and pretty and cute for him!

Tuesday 3rd August.

Floral dress – Primark: £13
Jeans – George@Asda: £10
Ballet slippers – Topshop: £16
Bird/Rose & Love necklaces (as above) – Primark: £1.50 each

OMG how adore that dress, it’s floral, has amazing shoulders, studded details and best of it I look skinny in it. Plus it doesn’t look as though it is from Primark – my friend thought it was a vintage buy as it does look very 50s but nop it was straight off the rail from Primarni itself. But usually if you get a dress from there EVERYBODY will have it the following week but i’ve never seen anybody in this dress – bar Kirsty from The Wright Stuff. I guess the dress is too dignified and covered up for the girls we have in Middlesbrough.

Oh and a note on my wonderful ballet-esque shoes, I found out when I was playing with my feet on the bus that they have a great big huge rip on the side *crys* and I know I like them shabby but I can’t be having bugs or anything like that getting into my shoe. So if anybody fancies buying me a birthday present for my 21st next week please buy me these shoes – size 6 please ;).

Too-wit Too-woo

So the other day when I was in town mindlessly wandering around waiting for 9.40 so I could go pick up my glasses from the opticians I saw Debenhams and I thought oh I miseawell go in and see if they have anything good downstairs (the downstairs being the cool clothes part.)

I NEED THIS!

At first I walked over to the H for Henry Holland part as there was a sale and I wanted to see if the varsity jacket (all I want in life is a varsity jacket but it is impossible!) that I have been longing for was in the sale and it was! I seen it from a few metres away and got all excited only to find out that it was a size 16!! BOOOO. All the clothes in the sale were BOGOF and I spotted some jeans that I’ve wanted for a while so picked them up immediately and a cute mesh dress that I thought “oh this can be the free one.” I needed to try the jeans on as I’m only short and didn’t want to buy jeans that were too long in the leg – plus they had patches on my knees and I didn’t want the patches to appear on my ankles. But to my dismay there were no changing rooms open or any assistants that I could go “oi, bitch open the changing rooms for me.” So with a heavy heart I put the clothes back on the sale rail.

Charm you way into my <3

Oh how I love charm bracelets – they just intrigue me and they look ever so pretty. The one above was cheap (well not for but for everybody else) but it gives off a unique vintagey look and I do try and wear it as much as I can but it’s not possible as I can never ever tie it together and plus it makes too much noise so I just look at it every now and then and fall a bit more in love with it.

Anyways… I wore this outfit yesterday to go over to my boyfriends house for a chill session in which we watched wrestling, played lego harry potter and cuddled – I love those kinda days.

Tuesday 27th July.
