Boohoo, I love you.

Today was a fun day. I went to town. Mostly for finding my lovely boyfriend a birthday present, and job hunting, and also for hair dye. My beautiful red hair will be no more.

So today is an outfit post.
I thought I'd make an effort to look smart, and really wanted to wear my new Boohoo.com jeans, which are lovely. They're a dark indigo colour, as you can see below.

These are my new High Waisted jeans from Boohoo.com. Usually I'm a size 10/12 (on the 12 side now..) but these are a size 14 at boohoo. But they do fit perfectly. The top is from a local charity shop (though it was originally from George at Asda apparently) and the necklace is a host of keys and was a present from my mum.

I'm having a small love affair with boohoo at the moment, because I'm always seeing gorgeous dresses that I love there. But now there's high waisted shorts and jeans and I'm in heaven.

To the right you can see my smarter day outfit, complete with boots and jacket, both second-hand. I do very well with thrifting, I must say.

Hope you had a great day, and that you're as pleased with your outfit as I am :) x

It's a Beautiful Christmas..

Sometimes I think that all my friends and family know me a little too well. I absolutely love to play with colours on my nails or give myself a french manicure. Low and behold, I got a manicure set and several beautiful nail polishes.
All in all, I have a rather good haul this year. Here are my top beauty gifts:

 Babyliss Big Hair
  - This styler not only dries the hair but gives it volume as it gets right to the roots. It has three heat settings and a rotating barrel to grab the hair and use like a curling tong. It also has ionisers to stop the hair getting frizzy or static. This was especially bought for my new fringe, which I have been having trouble styling, and it works a treat.

 Makeup Brush Set
 - Untested

 Nail Rock Designer Nail Wraps (Blue with Gold Stars)
  - Untested

 Fake Pearl Bracelet with Black Velvet Bow
  - This goes well with nearly any outfit and gives it a bit of grown-up glamour

 V05 Smoothly Does It Heat Protect Serum
  - This has a lovely smell thanks to the new perfume and creates straight style. My hair is fine, so I am always wary of getting static hair, and this doesn't do that. Instead the hair is perfectly smooth and feels really soft.

 Front Cover Nail Polish - Metallic Collection
  - As of yet, this product is partially untested, but so far the colours are looking beautiful. They need two coats to make the colour really pop though. It also comes with a small guide that tells you how to create the style seen on the left.

 Barry M Foil Effect Nail Polishes in Silver and Gold
  - These polishes are really striking and are perfect for a night out. That silver is definitely being used on new years'.

 Avon Double-Sided Necklace
  - This handy little necklace adds a little bit of sparkle without going too over-the-top. It is silver, cle4ar and black so it will go with any colour. It also has the added bonus of being two-sided (the other side being silver with roses engraved into it), which means you can take it our for a girlie weekend and not wear the same thing twice.

Midnight Fantasy by Britney Spears Perfume
 - This perfume is fruity and, as long as you're not perfume-crazy, fairly subtle. It comes in beautiful packaging and has a lovely bottle design, so it will sit on your dressing room table without looking out of place or tacky.
