What I Really, Really Want is .....

So with christmas coming up and being ridiculously skintos, I am on a mad hunt for christmas presents, I am usually the just go out on christmas eve and buy whatever you see kinda gal, but not this year!

I've already bought quite a few bits for my mum and sister and have started putting little beauty boxes together for my buds.....my poor brother will probably end up with a boy beauty box...actually, that's exactly what he's getting!!

I'm gonna get to work on that in a little while! I'm pretty excited now! Any ideas on what to put in a 'boy beauty box' besides the obvious aftershave?? Please share because now I feel like my boyfriend is gonna have to have one too! haha!

Anyways...this post was about what I want! (nothing new there!) It was originally about what my little sister was getting for her 21st birthday on Tuesday BUT she might peek so I'll save that for her actual birthday....lets just say my room smells LUSH. haha!! Ok, that was poor.

Right let's get to it!!

American Apparel Rib Nylon Spandex Leggings £22 - I have no idea where my current obsession with these has come from as I normally refuse to buy American Apparel but I NEED these and one of my best friends works there so I'll only buy them if he lets me use his discount! haha!

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub £5.25 I LOVE this stuff, it smells soooo good!!! And my lips definitely need some help in winter...I'm not the best at drinking the recommended amount of water....at all.

Marks & Spencer Bohemia Perfume £12 for 100ml. This smell isn't for everyone, my sister is not a fan, but she's not a fan of my wearing men's Black XS either, which is what this reminds me of and is why I love it, it has a sort of super sharp clean smell to it. The website describes it like this : 'An eclectic fragrant blend of lemon, blueberry and bergamot with floral heart notes of lily of the valley, mimosa and gardenia drying down to warm aromas of cedarwood, amber and vanilla.' 

For £12 though, for 100ml you can't argue and they do a buy one get one half price offer and gift sets, and smaller bottles too! Really is a great stocking filler!! There's another one called Butterfly which is also nice!

Ok, so, that's some of the bits on my christmas list! I have no idea what I want this year!!!

What are you asking for???!!

Sorry, Can't Talk.....Moustache!! ...

Lame, I know! but I love, love, love the whole moustache trend!!

I just got me some of these babies for bed!!!

I LOVE THEM!!

I don't know why I love them so much, but I love them. They're only for bed but they're just so cute with a big baggy jumper or an oversized vest!! 

Best part??.....they were 1p!!! haha!! :) 

What A girl Wants

Just been having a nosey online and found some things to add to my current wishlist, which is probably already the length of my arm!!

I intend to get my hands on them ASAP! I can’t wait to go on holiday, but this trying not to spend business is super hard work, and I’m not sure how long it will be until I crack!!

1.                                                                                                    Topshop Petite Matte Wetlook Leggings £18

2.                                                                                                              Topshop Scandi Floral Tee – Grey £18

3.                                                                                                                       Topshop Mighty Ankle Boots £45

4.                                                                                                              MAC Discotheque Nail Polish - £10

5.                                                                                                                               MUA Pro-Brow Kit - £3.50

6.                                                                                                          Urban Outfitters Moustache Cushion £25

7.                                                                                                                              Knuckle Duster Mug £10??

Ok, so I found the matte leggings I’ve been after! YAY! Also came across this pretty cute grey floral tee too!

I am so undecided on ankle boots, I love them but I can never decide between plain or studded??? For £45 from Topshop I think these are alright, and could probably get a studded pair from primark for ... I think they’re £18?? So, best of both worlds really.

Obsessed with this MAC nail polish, saw Rachel Zoe post it on instagram and it looks amazing on.

MUA is clearly a great high street, affordable make up brand and I am in LOVE with them at the minute!! I love that their items are so cheap but the quality is great! I have quite a few nail polishes, lipsticks and eyeshadows, and have recently bought their Extreme Volume Mascara, which is actually really, really good! I mean, I pile on lashings of mascara no matter what I use but I didn’t even bother putting lashes on when I used this! I’ll do a proper review on MUA when I go on another haul...with a tenner, yes, a make up haul with a tenner! Great isn’t it?! Anyways, back to the Pro-Brow Kit, I can not wait to try this!! I’ve been meaning to get a brow kit for a while, but I’ve been quite lazy and haven’t really bothered looking, so when I saw this for £3.50 I was so excited!!  I’ll let you know how it goes...

I’m thinking of decorating my room, its currently ‘Vintage Rose’ but I’m thinking white, just a plain crisp white. So I’ve been looking for little bits n’ bobs for my room and came across the moustache cushion in Urban Outfitters and I love it! I don’t know why, but I am loving the whole moustache thing at the moment....wish I could grow my own .... no, I don’t love it that much! But I WANT thsat cushion.

And finally, the knuckle duster mug, I have been dying for one of these for aaages, it was on my Christmas and birthday lists, but alas! Santa and my mum both forgot it! It’s ok though, I’ll get my own, I can’t decide between the black and white but I’m leaning towards the white, because, I know this is weird but ever since I saw Aria in Pretty Little Liars holding a mug with her nails painted super dark I thought they looked amazing, so I’m leaning towards white to show off my nails, odd, yes?

I think they’re around a tenner on eBay! I think they’re so cool!

Right, gonna go run a bath and dream of more pretty things to add to my list!!

Ramble, Ramble...

Yesterday was such a nice day so I decided to walk into town to get some bits and bobs. I shouldn't have really...supposed to be saving for my holiday...oops.

I bought LOVE magazine to read while I'm away and I'm trying soooo hard not to peek.
I also got a plain black skater skirt, some lashes, bedding and a toothbrush...exciting stuff eh?

After sitting in the sun for a bit, I decided to go grab some lunch in one of my favourite little places.
Lentil soup and fresh juice is definitely the way forward.

I had the best little time on my lonesome....best date ever, no sarcasm there either!!

I do love people watching, it's so much fun! Saw an OAP in neon Nike hi tops, some funky leggings and a drop arm vest and some Ray Bans. She was a random sighting indeed.

I didn't actually go to many shops today, tried my best to avoid them because if I see something, I just can't say no, it's near impossible.

Primark however, had some pretty awesome things in.
People give Primark so much crap because of how cheap it is and the 'quality' of the stuff, but to be honest, I love it and I always check items out for quality before I buy no matter where I am, so as far as quality goes, I think it's not that far off Topshop and the like. I LOVE Topshop, don't get me wrong but sometimes the quality of some of their stuff is shocking for the price you pay. I do get kind of annoyed when I have something that falls apart and I see a cheaper version of it in Primark, which happens all the time, and I just think 'whyyyy didn't I just get that one?!' If I do spot something similar in Primark to anywhere else and it's cheaper, I will get it from Primark, I don't mind being cheap with disposable fashion items.

I do however, contradict myself as I am a HUGE fan of Topshop basics. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their basic tee's and vests and as much as I hate parting with about £15 for something basic, I still do it and never regret it. I love basics so much though, I mainly wear plain stuff and if it's plain it goes with everything!!

I always wear plain tops/tees/vests with leggings and I am a huge legging lover!!

I wear Primark control leggings. Seriously. Best leggings ever. They're only about £4 and they're high waisted and not matte, but not super shiny either, just right, a nice subtle shine, and they suck you in!! How much more could you ask for £4??? They're the only leggings I wear, unless I'm running, then I just wear the £3 Primark basic leggings.

I'm currently on the lookout for some matte leather look leggings but just haven't come across any that I like, same with disco pants, my legs are super short and chunky so I don't think I could pull off disco pants but I am determined to find those leggings!!! If you know of any good ones....let me know!! :)

Today was super random, went to pick my new office and picked a cute one if I do say so myself!!

Then my mum decided we should go to Southport for a walk around and some chips and candy floss because the weather was nice. So, that we did. It was really fun in the end, haven't really been there since I was a kid. It was slightly depressing going past the fair and seeing that it had closed down, and then getting cheated out of a couple of quid in the 2p machines in the arcade!! But other than that, it was really nice spending the day with my mum and sister.

Then we popped into Waitrose on our way home, we never shop at Waitrose so I was totally lost, but, I did find my favourite Naked drink 'Green Machine', and the Ben & Jerry's ice cream sandwich which was a total bonus. I'm going to cry tomorrow though when I get on the scales. I've been so out of control the last week while I've been ill. Oh well, back to running and eating good this week!! Only got just over 2 weeks until my holiday....dreading bikini time. Can't fight it now!! haha.

Going to go make some hot choc and catch up on Breaking Bad....

Wow this post really was just a load of rambling. Sorry.
