AW14 HAUL



With Autumn fast approaching, I had to do a little shopping and stock up on some AW14 essentials!

TOPSHOP


Joni jeans = wardrobe staple!
This is my third pair of black Joni jeans, I love the feel, I love the fit but they do lose their colour ridiculously quickly! 
My first pair went blue after the first wash (40 degree wash) and my second pair faded and started to go grey after about 3 washes (30 degree hand wash)!
Chelsea boots are another one of my wardrobe staples, these beauts were only £38 so I had to snap them up!


A summery palm printed crop but in black so it would look great with AW colours! £12.00

HM



This zip up cardi / jacket is so cosy and warm and it looks great with almost everything. A great little jacket for Autumn and great under a biker jacket for when it gets colder! £29.99



Apologies for the terrible quality pictures by the way guys, they were only taken on my phone and it was getting dark. This black vest is silky looking and made out of quite thick material. It looks great on!




I also got the brown / gold version. They do a black grey snakeskin one too, but they only had size 18's left! £12.99 each.




They did however have this snakeskin top in my size - it crosses over at the front and was only £7.99!



This basic tee will look great as  part of a casual look under a jacket with some skinny jeans - £7.99

PRIMARK



Basic oversized tee only £5!




This floral jacket was part of a coord but I didn't like the matching skort. Well I did, but it didn't look right together - too jazzy haha - £17.00






My favorite purchase of the day!
These jeans are identical to the Topshop Jamie ripped knee jeans, £42 (which I was going to buy) but these from Primark were only £13!
I was amazed that I could fit into the size 6 but they fit great, a great bargain buy!



This jacket is from Primark but I got it of Depop - You can never have enough jackets right?




The small necklace is from HM (£6.99 and the other big triangle ones are both from Primark (£2.50 each)




This workout set was so cheap I couldn't say no - £3 for the top and £2 for the shorts! Haha!



Last up from Primark are these gorgeous burgundy sandals! Only £8.00!

SCHUH


Me, my boyfriend and his daughter all got some shoes from Schuh!
Roshe runs are pretty dead now, they've been about for too long but nevertheless, I still got some. I got Michael some Adidas ZX Flux's as they're apparently going to be bigger than the Roshes and I can borrow them anyway as they're not too big for me haha
We also got a mini pair of pink Roshes and some little pink high top Converses - too cute!

RIVER ISLAND 



Last but by no means least is this plaid crop from River Island!

If you feel like you recognise this dress and these glasses, you may have seen the Anna Dello Russo for H&M collection...






I wasn't really a fan of this collection when I first saw some of the pieces, everything looked too gold and tacky.

However, I came across this lookalike dress from Zealotries and I had to have it! The glasses aren't the ADR ones either, they're infact from Choies and only cost $24.99!

NEW NAILS - TUTORIAL


Sammi Jackson - Nail Tutorial

Sammi Jackson - Nail Tutorial

Quite a few people have been asking me where I get my nails done so I thought I'd do a quick tutorial on today's nails!

I don't go anywhere to get them done, I do them myself using...

Sammi Jackson - Nail Tutorial

False nails. I bought this pack of clear oval nails of eBay - £4.99 for 500!

Sammi Jackson - Nail Tutorial

The best glue that I've found is this nail glue from Wilko, and it's only £1!
I glue them on, clip them to size then file them down - ready to paint!

For today's nails, I used these hole reinforcement stickers, I thought they'd do the job perfectly,

It's pretty self explanatory really, all I did then was wait for them to dry, peel off the stickers and then do a top coat of clear nail polish to finish them off
