They have ARRIVED!!!!!!

OOoohh aren't they beautiful! As you can probably guess from the very large picture above I recently purchased some black patent Dr. Martens. Those of you who know me, know I love a good bargain and these were no exception I got them from eBay. There is always a slight worry when you get something from eBay as you can never guarantee they will look as good as the pictures but these I have been very lucky with. Plus there is that added excitement of the bidding at the very last moment and then realising you have won...
      So I

thought I would do a little outfit post for you. They are quite a chunky boot so it is not always easy to know what to wear so that your feet don't seem too large for your body.. like a Hobbit! "Ain't nobody got time for that!"

So I have teamed the delectable boots with this lime green/yellow slouchy knit jumper from H&M another bargain at £14.99. H&M always have such a good selection of knitwear in their Autumn/Winter collection, (my jumper in other colours).
   Underneath the jumper you might be able to see I have a white shirt which is also from H&M. What I love about this shirt is the sliver detailing on the collar it adds that little something extra to what could be a fairly plain outfit. Accessories; my necklace and tartan scarf I have mentioned in a previous post they are both from Primark. Primark is definitely worth a look at the moment especially for accessories. My gold Casio watch I wear all the time, it goes with everything. Hope you like my ensemble and please excuse my shiny forehead I had just been on a brisk walk before this picture had been taken and the coat I was wearing was one layer too many...   :)

Gig time... Tom Odell

Last night I went to a gig at the UEA with my boyfriend and his flatmate, who now wish to be known as the beard brigade. Tom Odell was amazing, so good live. It was quite a mellow gig compared to what I am used to, there were a few people in the crowd getting annoyed at myself and the beard brigade singing along and generally being merry and enjoying the atmosphere. But hey you can't please everybody.. personally I thought we sounded pretty good :) 

I liked his outfit choice, simple t-shirt open white shirt combo- went with the whole casual/mellow vibes of the night.

My highlight of the gig was when Tom did a cover of the Diet Coke advert song.. "I just want to make love to you." The supporting band was good.. I believe they were called Ruen Brothers, they had and Indie sound with a slight country twang. A lot of foot stomping songs. I love going to gigs it's always such a good night out. Another gig which I have been to recently was the 1975, that was a brilliant gig. I would definitely recommend going to see them if you haven't already- their entire set is a string of absolute bangers!! Go get your gig on peeps! #Gigheads

Sketching...

Hey everyone!! at the weekend I decided to start sketching again, it's been a long time since I have picked up a pencil and paper and wanted to see if I still had it in me. I absolutely loved it and didn't realise just how much I have missed it. the idea behind is that I am wanting to get my first tattoo done this year and I think it would mean just that little bit extra if I can design it or at least contribute to it. I have been looking at cherry blossom tattoos and most of them have very similar designs with the classic branch and flower combo and i wanted something slightly different. so here it is guys hope you like it! Think it has started the sketching bug in me... you guys should give it a go! Get your creative juices flowing.. and stay tuned for some more sketching from me :) 

Winter is setting in!...

So it has been almost a year since I have been on here- very slack of me!! I am determined to start a fresh with my blog and share a little bit of me with you guys. Winter has well and truly started to set in and we are starting to get some of that fabulously, (slight hint of sarcasm) distinctive British weather. I thought I would share with you guys my first winter purchases of the year. I have recently had a massive wardrobe clear out- something which my lovely friends were very happy about, and that has created a little bit of space to fill with some fab new winter pieces.
    I went to London last week and picked up a couple of the pieces in the picture to the right. Firstly my gorgeous forever 21 black and white jumper.. I LOVE it! it is so warm and comfy I think it may get worn to death this winter. I actually teamed it with the check shirt in the picture and some disco pant leggings. The check shirt is from ASOS, it is long enough on me to wear as a short dress with leggings. It may not work in that way for you taller lasses but I am only 5ft 5 so covers my bum nicely. Loving all the tartan coming in to the shops.. so i just had to get some scarves!! Anyone who knows me knows my love for a good scarf! The red scarf is from Primark and the cream is from Accessorize. The fluffy crop knit I think is key for this season they are everywhere, I don't mind that are everywhere I think they are really cute and may have to get a few different colours! This one is from Primark and was £10 absolute bargain!! I will be wearing mine with high waisted skirts tights and sexy ankle boots! Last but not least the selection of Primark necklaces. They have really upped their accessories game this season in fact I think I will be getting a lot from Primark this Autumn/Winter I have seen some really strong pieces in the press for what they have coming out! Here I am below wearing my forever 21 jumper with the check shirt and you might be able to just see one of the Primark necklaces poking out in between my hair! Back to work after a week off tomorrow so that is the last cherry beer I will be having for a while :(
