OOTD

I could hear the kerching..ing..ing of my bank account this week.!

Working hard in the cafe, grabbing all the hours I can, slowly building up my funds since it was zeroed after T in the Park! 

So obviousl, a nearly 'im happy enough with it' full bank account only means one thing... ONLINE SHOPPING!!

Oh dear oh dear what had I let myself in for.. I was only on one website (I must have some willpower!) and in the first half an hour I must have totaled up a good hundred quid already! :/

Uh-ooh!


My wee tummy was in knots... the further I delved into the Boohoo website, the more pretty outfits I was creating in my head! :(

Double checking the bank account to make sure this wouldn't make too big of a dent in my savings!

'Okay okay!' I told myself, 'how much would be suitable, to get me enough new stuff that I'm happy with, without leaving me scrapping pennies together afterwards..?'

Suddenly, I realised that Boohoo has 25% off the day I was gonna buy stuff.. There is a God! :O I couldn't believe it! Never been so happy in all my days :D

So yes, to sum up my little rollercoaster of a tale, I was able to buy quite a few items with a quarter off my total! Happy days! :D

What Did I Buy...? I hear you ask...

Once i spied these jeans I just had to have them! Ripped knees are very in atm and theses are not overboard.. I've noticed a few that look like they've been hacked by a 2 year year old with blunt scissors!

..Not a good look!


Also, I really love this blue.. kinda marble effect denim! Definitely fits in with my 'worn but loved/grungy' style. The overall style and shape is very 90s as well with the higher waist line which is great to hold in a big dinner lol!
The next item, Ijust had to have, was this aztec kimono! The autumnal colours will take me into the next season perfectly and also the long length of this one gives it a more wintery vibe! I love the crazy print.. it's actually what drew me to the item and I wasn't totally sure about the length as it was quite different to other clothing items in my wardrobe. However, it's awesome so it's staying! :P

Other items were more essentials that I needed, which included tops like a dark grey crop top, black and white vest tops and also a leopard print raincoat.. which is amazing! ...but it kinda feels like a swimming hat :S 
Again, I don't care as I'll be dry for once and in leopard print (nothing can go wrong when you wear leopard print - my motto in life)

OOTD

Here's a few pictures of how I wore the items and a few accessories to go along with them :)

Topshop necklaces.. 


My Makeup.. (which I did after the pictures above!)


Pandora rings..


 Guess watch..


That concludes my little shopping spree and outfit..

The end!

Your face makes me feel sick..

- Where's Wally?
- A Cat
- Vampire
- Zombie
- Witch
- Chucky
- Zombie Dorothy (Wizard of Oz)











This is a list of my previous years halloween costumes and it's about that time of year again where I start thinking of weird and wonderful ideas! And yes, I do know it is August!

But, I love this time of year! I can get the glittery pink and gothic makeup out and really go overboard on the slap without being judged! :P

I, for one, am obsessed with makeup, as many of my good friends will complain..I mean tell you about. The hours and hours of perfecting my smokey eye or the arch on my very subtle eyebrows has been part of my routine for many years.
However, when it comes to the end of October,  I dive into everything from eye shadow on my lips and lipstick of my eyes to fake blood and even gelatin made an appearance on my face last year.  I was very pleased with my last years 'zombie dorothy' outfit and got comments such as:

"Your face makes me feel sick"
&
"Eww can I touch it? It creeps me out!"

Personally, these were compliments as that's obviously the look I was going for!

One thing that annoys me is people especially girls thinking halloween gives them right of passage to be sluts and dress as provocatively as possible..
Come on guys it's halloween.. you're meant to look scary not like hookers! Unless maybe its relevant to say a movie or book character!

So this year, I've a few ideas rattling about in my head and I'd like to thank Pinterest for helping me with some of these suggestions such as:

- Mary Poppins

- Zombie.. something or other

- Pop Art


- Khaleesi (Game of Thrones)


- Poison Ivy


-Young Moira O'Hara (American Horror Story)





I was doing a fair bit of looking on the internet and found some pretty cool ideas, which I will so kindly share with you for some inspriation..

Lego - This one would be great for a group

Black and White - Thought this one was very unique and different 

Toy Army Men - Great one for the guys

Harpies - Greek mythology based idea for those that want something different

Skeleton - The makeup on this one could be amazing! If done right then it would look awesome

Guess Who? - I used to love this game so this one is totally nostalgic and hilarious!

Chucky and his bride - how cute is this one.. If i had kids they'd definitely be dressed up like this for halloween

Granny - Again parenting done right! #adorable

Mia and other Pulp Fiction characters - Love the film and the outfits could be made a bit more interesting especially if you dress up as Mia after her adrenaline shot. Also great for those doing halloween on the cheap as its basic but effective

Peter Pan and his shadow - great idea here especially for a couple or even twins would be so cute!


So yeah, help me out guys and sure even give me some inspiration by letting me know what your ideas are atm :)


Love Becci xx
