New Purchase:Wallet.
This isn't such a recent purchase, but that doesn't make it any less beautiful. I had my eye on it for a while and eventually got over the price and decided it was worth it. My previous wallet was falling apart anyway. It is of brilliant quality and is so interesting. Not that it of much importance, but it's versatile with a lot of outfits. Technically I could use it as a clutch! It can fit my phone and my house key, plus money and cards.
Urban Outfitters
£20
On a side note:
I seem to have lost the majority of my pictures from my previous posts.
If anyone knows how to fix this, that would be great.
If not, I'll just post away and forget about those posts.
Thanks.
New Purchase:Purple Bag.
I've been in the midst of my GCSE exams recently and have been working pretty hard, even if I do say so myself. As a result of this, ma mere has purchased un petit bag for me, which is wonderful!
I just think it's lovely! It's real leather and was purchased in a little shop down in Herne Bay which is on the coast of England. It's purple in case you can't tell and has lovely stitching detail. Perfect for shopping or even attending gigs.

What Have We Got Here?
Well, this is going to be a post to be a post on three items of clothing I have purchased or received over the last couple of months. Without furthur ado, let's begin:
Missguided.com
Velvet Cut-Out Skater Dress
£18.99
(Ignore the annoying model)
I really love this dress and am extremely happy that I bought it. I would have preferred the long-sleeved version but it was no longer in my size, but it looks better on than I thought it would.
This goes pretty well with:
Topshop.com
Velvet Lace-Up Heeled Boots
£78
They are exactly the same as in the picture but with a light brown coloured heel and in black( I think they're green in this picture). I originally wanted them in burgundy but as per usual, they weren't in my size. These were luckily a Christmas present as I could not afford these by myself and I am so happy with them! They are comfy and aren't too high either so can be worn day and night. Unfortunately, they are out of stock, but there is a pair called 'Alfy Suede Boots' that are pretty close!
Another Missguided purchase is:
Missguided.com
Navy Jersey Maxi Skirt
£8.99
There is a theme running through this post, as once again, I wanted this skirt in black but it didn't have my size! However, navy blue is nearly as versatile and it is a very dark blue. It is comfortable and warm, especially with leggings underneath and looks really good on. It was more form-fitting than I thought as it clings to my bum and thighs slightly, but that may be just because I have a small waist and larger hips.

Monki
Love it! Love it! Love it!
I recently found the Monki store off Oxford Street while shopping with one of my friends. I had heard of it from a couple of youtubers and bloggers and decided the clothes looked really pretty! I first looked online and planned to buy a few items later on in the week when I had time. However, the very day I planned to buy these items, I found them in the store off Oxfore Street! Saved me £6 in shipping and I got the clothes immediately! So happy!
Monki, in my opinion, is very unique. Each store has a quirky and different layout and the clothes are lovely and most of the time, well priced. Here are a couple of examples of stores:

I'm not sure where the first store is but the second is the store I went to off Oxford Street in London. As you can see they are very different.
This is what I bought:
Lerima Top
£6
AIDA Singlet
£5
Millie Shirt
£19
I love both the tee and the vest top as the fabric is soft and silky and hangs beautifully! I actually bought the vest top in grey but they don't have the colour online I don't think so I can't show you the picture. But I do plan to get more colours soon. They are great layering pieces and work as a base for most outfits. They are so versatile. Pair them with some jeans and a jacket for a casual look or dress them up with a body con skirt and some wedges.
The Millie shirt is lovely aswell. I bought it in a medium as they didn't have a small and I didn't want to order it in the post to find the small didn't fit. The sizing on Monki is quite strange. So this means the medium is big and baggy and covers my bum. I don't really mind though. I wear it with either of the tops, a pair of denim shorts or black body con skirt and some brown boots or black lace-up brogues. The fact that I wear something tight on the bottom means that the top doesn't swamp me as long as I roll up the sleeves and have the buttons undone. I could also wear it with skinny jeans or leggings as the shirt covers my bum. I'm not a fan of leggings being worn as trousers. Too many people think they can and you end up being able to see their knickers through their leggings! Not attractive at all!
Anyway! That's my jibbering done! Hope you found this useful. You can look online on their website for a store finder or order online if there's not one near!
Speak to you soon!

Things I'm Going To Buy (When I Have Money That Is)
Hello again! I'm back and once again rather late but I hope this post may in some small way make up for it! This is a post on my must haves for as soon as possible, and once I am no longer penniless, I will buy them!
Beauty Products
Max Factor Colour Effect Flipstick in Gipsy Red
£8.49
It's red lipstick. It's gold glitter. I can't think of a more beautiful way of wearing a lipstick than this. A must-have for Autumn! I can't wait for it to be acceptable to once again wear dark colours on my lips!
Max Factor Colour Elixir Lipstick in Mulberry
£7.99
I am well aware that once again this is a Max Factor product but you can't fault the quality in my opinion. If I had to choose between the two, I'd definitely choose this one! It's cheaper, I've already got a red lipstick and the purple is just beautiful! It suits my skin tone, it lasts pretty long for a lipstick, the packaging is pretty-the list goes on and on!
Clothing Items
Black Cotton Maxi Skirt
Topshop £20
This is not exactly the skirt I'm looking for but a plain black cotton maxi skirt is surprisingly hard to find. I just want something cosy and comfy for Autumn and Winter and no-one seems to be stocking what I so desperately want! I'll probably end up buying this one and giving it a go though!
Leather Leggings
Topshop £22
I have been watching a lot of youtubers lately and leather leggings came up on quite a few channels. I've always been quite anti-this sort of thing but I've decided I'm going to stop judging something before I've even given it a chance. I've tried a pair on at the store and I must say, they don't look half bad! These aren't actually leather, but they look it and are therefore a lot cheaper.
So that's it for now! I'll do another post on anything else I want and I'm also going to be posting some items I've bought recently so stay tuned! Ummm...sorry for the lack of diversity when it comes to stores but it just so happens both of the lip products I want are from Max Factor and it's late and I couldn't be bothered to be scaling the internet for different stores when it came to the clothing items! Hope you liked this! Speak to you soon!

The Runway.
Oh dear! I feel pretty terrible about neglecting this blog. I had no idea it had been 10 days since my last post! My excuse is that I've just gone back to school and I'm settling back into a routine and getting my head around being back at school after a long break.
Anyway, recently I've subscribed to fashiontv on youtube and I have to say, I love watching the videos! There are at least a couple of videos each day of runway shows or photo-shoots from every designer you can think of! They do both videos of the actual show and then the backstage footage of the hair and make-up. I really find it very interesting and it's great looking at all the different designer's Autumn/Winter collections.
My favourite has to be the Ne. Tiger Autumn/Winter 2012-2013 collection. It was just so beautiful and oriental! I loved the intricacy of each piece and how they were wearable but beautiful and precious at the same time. Each piece was also so different to the next which was great seeing as many fashion shows end up with very similar outfits. I loved how traditional it all seemed and the set-up of the actual runway was amazing. It was all quite tranquil and elegant.
