OOTD #6 - Pretty Neutrals

Do any of you follow Dulce Candy? Well, that's a stupid question, I am sure you all do. Personally, I love her. She was the first YT Guru I ever found and I think I have watched each and every one of her videos. Anyway, she blogs an OOTD almost every day, and the other day, one really caught my eye. (See Here!) I don't know, there was something really pretty about the nudes with denim. I loved it so much so, I attempted to interpret it in my own OOTD!
You must excuse the absolute tip that is my bedroom lately, visitors have taken over in the past couple weeks and I am left with a random single bed in there as well as other junk all over my room :o(
Top: New Look (Current Season) Avaliable here Really love this top, it is a definite nod to the huge 70's trend with the billow sleeves. I love this top so much I actually have it in a bright blue with pinky flowers on too. Such a wearable shape!
Jeggings: New Look They are the actual 'jean' material jeggings, ie. they are jeans minus the button and zipper. I hate the leggings that are basically navy and passed off as "jeggings". My only complaint about these jeggings are the fact that the ankle hole is soooo tiny! I do not have a big foot (I'm a 5.5/6 depending on the shoe), but for some reason my heels are too fat to get in these without brute force. My boyfriend had to pull at these for a good ten minutes to get them on me. However, now after a couple of wears they require much less effort.
How cute are these accessories? I had to do close-ups of them as I think they actually make the outfit, as on Dulce's OOTD.
L: Remember a couple of posts ago here, I said that I was doing so well avoiding 'love' necklaces? Yep, I cracked! I TOTALLY blame the first SATC Movie.. I need that keyring! Come on though, how pretty and detailed is that necklace, and for less than a fiver? Avaliable here. In posting this link I see it is available in other colours. I think I will buy some more, that kind of cute never goes out of style!
R: These leopard print pumps are from Asda would you believe! And, even better, they only cost £3 in the sale. I couldn't find them on the website but there was loads when my mum picked them up for me the other day. They seem sturdy and good quality, which I am pleasantly surprised about. It is still too chilly to commit to wearing pumps here, but they were great and very comfy that day!
Finally, I looove this headband! Sorry the picture quality is appalingly poor at this stage, I think my camera was just about to die on me here! However it is just one of those stretchy band type things in cream with dark brown polka-dots. Ever since I have started backbrushing my hair more often yes I know it is damaging my hair, and yes I know, my hairdresser will kill me! I have been buying many more headbands. This one is from Primark or somewhere, I can't quite remember.
I am very proud of my colour co-ordination in this post :o)
What do you guys think?

PS It's be rude for me not to mention the Groupon deal happening at the moment, for £9 they will send you a £20 ASOS voucher. This is brilliant value! Here is a link to the deal: GROUPON DEAL This is a 'recommend to a friend' type link, and I would receive a small credit if you did use my link. Alternatively just google Groupon :o) However as far as I know, the offer is only on until midnight tonight, and there is a limited amount of vouchers avaliable.
I'm thinking Benefit or maybe a Pauls Boutique purse... what will you spend your voucher on?

Stuff I Bought on Saturday

As this Saturday was the first since Christmas I've had off work, it was clearly a cause for celebration. What better way to celebrate than shopping!
First port of call was New Look. Unusually for me, I didn't buy any clothes this time, just some lovely accessories.
TL: I haven't ventured into the scary world of DIY French Manicures for a very long time, however when I spotted this cute little inexpensive kit, I thought I would give it a go, again! I'm thinking French polish with Barry M Pink Iridescent over the top? :o)
TR: 100% plastic and totally tacky, but what can I say, I love! However I didn't realise that the rings had sizes (durrr Hannah!) and I picked up a M/L. It just falls off my finger instantly. I must return it for the smaller size.
BR: Last summer I wore flowers of silly sizes in my hair every day. I somehow remember it all beginning with some this size. Hmm, I should probably keep an eye on the situation! However, they are cute and I love the mint green. Available here.
BL: Lovely little pendant, nice change from the "Love" ones I keep being drawn to inadvertently. Available here.

From Superdrug I bought some body stuff, and some make up stuff too! 
 L: I've been experiencing really bad eczema on my legs lately, hopefully this E45 lotion instead of the moisturizer I am using currently will help clear it up.
R: If you have read my post on Products I Am Using Right Now, you will have noticed my love for the Original Source shower gels. This smells so zingy (best word I could think of to describe it!), it may be enough to wake me up in the mornings! :o) 
 L-R Collection 2000 'Extreme 24 hour Felt tip Liner"- I got this because I need to learn how to do the whole eyeliner-on-upper-lashline thing. This looks the simplest tool to practice with! Available here.
Barry M Kohl Pencil in Navy Blue (4)- This actually came free with two other Barry M purchases at Superdrug. Bargain! Available here.
Barry M Shimmering Eye and Lip Crayon in Golden Bronze (7). I'm a little confused by the name, not sure why you would want this colour on your lips! :o) Lovely on eyes though! Avaliable here.
Barry M Blusher in Pink Orchid (1). Pretty pink! Avaliable here.

I will be doing a more thorough review of these make up products very soon! Already I absolutely love the Barry M Eye Crayon.
Let me know what you think, as always I do love a comment! :o)

Payday Treats!

Ok, picture the scene. I had not been paid in over five whole weeks, the last payday being Christmas eve's eve where, naturally enough said paycheck was spent on last minute gifts. So, self sacrificing for the entirety of January until the wonderful moment that my manager informed me that we are not getting paid on the last day of the month as usual, we were getting paid TODAY!
So, I asked myself; "What is a girl to do?".
Instantly, she replied; "SHOP"
Seemed like a reasonable enough suggestion..

As this was an emergency shopping trip, I only had time to make one stop, New Look.
First up, sunglasses. As much as I would love to invest in a pair of designer shades, I have a habit of sitting on them in my car (don't ask), so the cheaper the better! Available here.


As winter is drawing to a close (yippee!), my shearling boots (mentioned here) are in need of replacement. I chose these cute ankle boots, they have a wedge heel and are incredibly comfy! Expect to see these featured in an OOTD soon. Available here.

Finally, I picked up these super purdy earrings. I am a sucker for New Look accessories. On the most part they are good quality, especially for the price! These earrings just screamed out to me, I had no choice but to purchase both pairs. They lean towards this summers huge 70's trend and I absolutely love them! Available here.

I hope you enjoyed my mini-haul here. :o)
What were your payday purchases? Please comment and let me know, or link me to your blog!
Thank you for reading,
Loves H xxxx
