Hi everybody its me, i am back! Sorry for the disappearing act these things happen from time to time!
So let me fill you in....
As you know the last time i had a spell of bad luck, unfortunately my camera situation is still the same, non existent! boo hoo! I guess this contributed to my absence i was feeling like there was no point of blogging without pictures! I guess i no longer care about the picture situation, my next gift to myself will have to be a camera.
On a happier note i finally have my own laptop! Thanks again to my flatmates for allowing me to take over their laptops much to their annoyance I'm sure! So now i can keep up with all you fellow bloggers!
I did visit the beautiful city of Budapest! Let me be honest i had no enthusiasm when it came to this holiday i had no expectations! How wrong was I! It was BEAUTIFUL! I went with a bunch of people including my flatmates. It was only a long weekend but one i wont forget in a hurry! The weather was hot, the people were friendly, i had fun and drank a lot of beer which is strange considering i don't like the stuff!
Obviously i had no camera but i managed to steal these from my T.F.B enjoy! xoxo

They Say Things Happen in 3's!
Hi readers, no I haven't abandoned you all just been having a spell of bad luck is all! Good news is I'm off work for 2 weeks! woop woop! I spent my first day of freedom chilling with mother we had a lovely lunch and i made the best darn mojito ever!
Bad news is my camera is broken, hence no pics! I don't even know how it happened maybe i just don't care for my stuff enough? The other day i came home from work only to find my wardrobe decided to give up on me! The rail decided enough was enough, maybe it thought i was taking the piss with all the clothes trying to hold on for dear life! When your whole life is packed in one room its hard to fit it all in and i think with all the new clothes of recent i pushed my luck! So now i have to find the funds for new storage!
I am just waiting for the 3rd thing because they say it comes in 3's! Anyway this time next week i will be drowning my sorrows in Budapest! I can't wait to go but kinda sad i won't be able to take my camera!
Hopefully things will improve! How's the month of May treating you? xoxo

Barry M Nails
I am soo super talented, look what i created all by myself!
Lets keep it real I'm not that talented! I discovered Barry M nail effect paint and decided to give it a try! This is definitely gonna be the look all summer lol
I used a base coat first, then i applied the colour which is also Barry M called Coral, then when it dried i used the nail effect over it and as it dries it separates leaving this effect. Once it's dry i went over it with top coat, if you don't do that it looks grey and mud like.
I feel like i spent lots of money at the nail shop!
Hope everyone is having a great week, the weather is super hot which is nice, it's just a shame i have to sweat it out at work in my uniform! Thanks for reading and Hello to all my new readers xoxo

Chino's Yes or No?
I have never been big on trousers, i only tend to wear jeans because i like the way they fit my behind making it look slightly under control. I have a strange shape, yes i am sure that i would be classed as an hour glass which is always a good thing, but my ass is massive and its very high! Its so high that my housemates have labelled me "Neck Butt" the bitches! lol
When you have this problem its hard to even think about wearing low rise jeans because my crack would forever be on display, also i find it a problem when considering wearing peg leg trousers as i find them quite spacious around the bum area so i'm thinking that they would not be flattering for someone like me (i could be wrong!)
I have been seeing a lot of the Chino pant these days and i really do like them they dont look like they would fit the same as a peg leg pant so i am tempted to try them
I am thinking of trying the ones from New Look i am digging the waist belt. It would be nice to wear something other than the jean, especially since the weather is getting warmer, jeans and heat don't mix well with me! What do you think about the Chino pant? What pants are you digging at the moment? xoxo

Shoe Heaven- Wedges

I love wedges! Especially since heels are not really my thing, wedges will always be my saviour! My first memory of wearing heels was when i was about 9 yrs old, bear in mind this was the early 90's my mums idea of fashion was coordination, everything had to match.
I remember my mum dressing me in a floral cream denim short suit with matching jacket and to top it off she made me wear cream court shoes to match, of course she thought i looked the business! I on the other hand did not share the same view and as i click clocked down the street i wanted to die! That day we went to visit my gran, usually i looked forward to that the most because i had a lot of friends in the block and i spent most of the time with them playing like children do! However that day was different, as soon as i reached my grans block and saw all my friends running around i tried to hide behind my mum not wanting to be seen i was so embarrassed! It was only a matter of time before my grans front door knocked and i knew i had been spotted! what made it worst was the fact i was forced to go out and play with these hideous shoes on making all kinds of noise. That was the start of my heel fear! It took me a long time to get over it, i am happy to say i love heels now its just a shame i can't walk in them for longer than a minute (OK slight exaggeration but you get my drift)
I have always wanted to be the girl that grabs the heels instead of trainers when going shopping, i don't wanna have to bring a separate bag for my flats on my nights out! Well until such a day comes i can live closer to that dream with the wedge!
Cue my new shoe.........
I love how it zips all the way down to the end |
OK I'm not saying i will be wearing this to do my next food shop at Asda but they are so darn comfortable that who knows i might just surprise you! lol
I can't remember how much these babies cost one of the problems when ordering from catalogues but I'm sure i got it for around £30 from Isme my new favourite shopping spot! Like i said these are so comfortable i haven't worn them out the house yet so the comfort thing is just a theory because if i have learnt anything that is try on heels on a hard surface the carpet will always lie to you! Are you feeling the wedge at the moment? xoxo

D.I.Y- Waste Not Want Not
I was recently clearing my closet and found my old Evans denim jacket I've had forever, I haven't worn it in over a year, i tried it on just for good measure and found that it was too big and didn't fit right! Now i remember why it was sitting in the back of my wardrobe collecting dust. It didn't feel right to just throw it out so i thought about ways i could save my jacket. It then occurred to me that i didn't have a sleeveless denim jacket and it seemed like something i could do to revamp my jacket.
I cut the sleeves off and cut the the bottom of the jacket to make it shorter.
I cut the bottom tabs off and sewed it onto the shoulders to add some detail to the jacket
I also took in the sides to make it smaller so it could be more fitted. After all that sewing by hand ( yes i said by hand!) i ended up with a brand new jacket.
I am pleased with the end result, i recommend using a sewing machine as that would have been a 10 min job instead of 30mins! Maybe i might have to invest in a sewing machine since i am discovering the world of D.I.Y. xoxo
