OOTD Featuring Cutey Bracelets

When I saw Cutey were asking for bloggers to review their products I emailed straight away as I'd seen them featured on Lucyy Writes (if you don't follow Lucy you should) a while ago and loved the bead style ones.

The first one I was sent was this Typhon Charm Bracelet  I love that it had different coloured beads so goes well with a variety of outfits. It has blue, yellow and pink beads as well as having a handbag and star charms.

I've been wearing this one the most. I love pairing it up with other silver bracelets. I'm already eyeing up more of this style. Especially this Hemera one I love the key and the red and white polka dot beads. I think they would look great layered up. Best of all they are only £12.99.

I've been wearing this one for nights out and for work. I love to wear bracelets with skinny jeans and a top just to dress them up. My necklace is my gorgeous sphere of life one.

The other bracelet I was sent was a shambella one. I recieved this Gold on White style. The shambella style retails for £18.99. Previously I haven't been a fan of these but I like the way it looks on. Especially with this top it goes together perfectly and add just the right amount of sparkle to a plain outfit.

I'm so pleased I got to try Cutey bracelets after admiring them on Lucy's blog previously. I'll definitely be getting some more of the charm style bracelets. They also now sell gorgeous bags!! They are definitely on my lust list.

Have you tried Cutey bracelets? Do you prefer shambella or charm style?

OOTD Trainers and Lace Blazer

I finally managed to persuade my other half to help me out and take photos! He didn't prove that useful. He took one then told me I didn't need any more as the outfit was the same! I need to train him better!!

Anyway on to today's OOTD. This was something I wore to work, most of my OOTD are things I've wore to work. I'm sure you've noticed from the different outfits, basically any thing goes for work. The Blazer I picked up last year and is from Matalan. It's a jersey material and a loose fit so it's super comfy to just throw on top of things. The lace print isn't still available but this is the same shape and cut. I'm also eyeing up this amazing one!!

The amazing bright blue top is from New Look, I absolutely love this shape of blue. It also has a dipped hem and exposed zip. I tend to wear this a lot as it looks great with jeans or tucked into a pencil skirt.

I've been lusting after Vans for ages now. I purchased some a few weeks back but returned them. I just couldn't decide on the colour as the ones I wanted were know longer available. So when I walked into Primark and saw these for £6 I couldn't resist. I picked navy but think I'm going to have to go back for the red too.

They look pretty similar to Vans and are really comfy. The first day of wear did hurt the back of my ankle but they are really comfy now. They are just what I wanted and I can have a few different colours while I decide which colour of Vans I want.

I kept Jewellery pretty simple. This gorgeous bracelet from Daisy Does. It offers fully unique jewellery, most pieces she never normally makes more than one of so you know you're the only one with that piece. You can also design your own. I've ordered quite a few pieces from here now. As for rings the one in the photo of one my other half got me. When wearing silver jewellery I tend to wear one from my other half and one my parents bought me. 

As for necklace it's my Beautiful Sphere of Life Necklace (www.mysphereoflife.com) Thanks again to Jenny I'm so pleased to have won this, as you'll have seen from my past OOTD I wear it loads. It's so easy to pair with everything. I have set your heart free!

My jeans are from Next, I've had these for a few years now. I love next for jeans. They are great quality and fit me well. These are similar to the relaxed fit skinny they now sell. These are the Relaxed skinny jeans I'm currently wanting!

I paired it all with Kate Moss for Rimmel Matte Collection lipstick in the shade 110, this is a bright coral red type shade. I've owned it for a while but never gotten around to wearing it. You can see the whole collection with lip swatches here I really love this shade now, it's very bright but I think it's perfect for Summer (when it arrives!).

I'm really enjoying doing weekly OOTD

Recent Purchases

I've mentioned lots of times how I'm on a spending ban yet seem to keep buying things due to my overdraft, sneaky!

It really has come to the depths now (sad face!) but luckily for me my mum took me shopping to encourage me to finish my dissertation when I was feeling really down about it all last week.
It's rather a long post with lots of pictures but if you're anything like me I love seeing what everyone buys, so make yourself a brew and get comfy and enjoy :)

Here's what I bought!

Bottle green skin y jeans with gold zips - £15 from Primark

I saw these and loved them but I have issues buying trousers in Primark as I'm tall and rarely does anything fit!

But I was SO surprised to find these did and they wear pretty well too.

For £15 they're an absolute bargain and I will be going back and getting some more as soon as a job finds me!!!

Next up were these gorgeous scarfs.

I love scarves and general winter clothes so these were an exciting buy for me (yes really!)

There's a flowing black one with studs to wrap around and do whatever style you please, plus a grey snood with owls on.

Owls are a bit of a thing for me so this was perfect!

Both of these were also Primark and I think £4 each.

Next was this really cute blouse:

I love blouses like these and wear my other ones to death.

This has an updated collar and buttons though which make it look more expensive than the couple of pound it cost! (can't remember exact number I'm afraid!)

Next are these gorgeous belts:

I'm a sucker for a black waist belt with metal detailing as I really love the cinched in look and also the rock chick look, so this Primark beauty was again perfect and I think £4 too!

The gold studded belt is absolutely beautiful and from Warehouse.

It comes in at a rather more pricey £18  in comparison with my other buys but its gold, studded and general perfection for everything that I wear!

(I also got 20% off the Warehouse belt as I got it from Debenhams at a 20% off day! So worth waiting for!)

I love my gold and although i own lots of silver items, they don't seem to get a look in at the moment!

This is why I ended up also grabbing this cuff and collar necklace in Primark:

You can see the prices on the tags still. I've wanted a collar necklace forever but hadn't found one I liked.

If anyone has a suggestion of a plain gold collar necklace i could get at an affordable price let me know please!

I haven't found any recently.

Lastly, I can't go into Primark and not buy shoes.

I wear their pumps and brogues until they fall apart (quite literally!)

These studded bad boys are perfect for the winter (if I don't wear them to death by then!) and the brogues are a firm staple in my wardrobe.

I can't see me being without them for a while, I've been wearing them for years as they go with everything, are so comfy and in a lovely metallic shade can be worn out too!

My last purchase in the shops comes in the form of my very own pair of disco pants:

These were from Alice & You at Debenhams (not on their website but apparently also sold at Dorothy Perkins.

I picked these up for £24 due to their being 20% off in Debenhams (originally £30)

I've worn them already and they are so damn comfy.

I feel like an extra from Grease but oh my they look and feel amazing!

Lastly are 2 other eBay purchases I've got recently.

Firstly a metal belt:

I've wanted a belt like this for AGES and originally bought the Celeb boutique one when I bought a dress as the belt was half price when you bought one.

However the dress wasn't great and I had to send it back so sent the belt back too.

Long story short this was £5 on ebay and I just HAD TO HAVE IT.

You know the feeling!

Finally I bought these metal collar clips to update all of my shirts:

I know for a fact that I will want the shirts currently in fashion that are covered in cute collar clips.

I thought why not waste the money on buying new shirts when the clips cost a measly £2 off ebay and I can put them on whatever shirt I want!

So there's my buys....rather a long post sorry about that!

What's on your list for Winter??

I really want some of the other colours in the Primark jeans and no doubt I'll be looking for a new coat, have you seen any must haves yet?

(p.s. I feel like I should definitely mention my mum here, she bought me all of the Primark stuff as she's so amazing! If she ever finds my blog maybe she'll read this....thanks mum you're the best!)

June Wishlist

Another month gone already. I swear I start every wishlist this way! Sorry! This year seems to be speeding by for me. Does it seem the same for you? My May wishlist can be found here.

You'll all probably be pleased to know I finally got some new skinny jeans! I managed to pick up some perfect black ones from New Look for the bargain price of £14.99. They are such a nice proper black and so comfy. Also I was pleased they had a 34 inch leg in store as I couldn't find it online. Still on the hunt for coloured ones though.

As for Make Up. I actually resisted MAC this month so haven't got them. The Lipstick and eyeshadows still stay on my wishlist as I love them.

I also didn't get the heat protector or soap and glory sit tight XL. I  do still want these products but spent so much on other stuff this month I resisted.

So for this month!

Make Up

I really want the Kate Moss No 2 lipstick from her collaboration with Rimmel. I absolutely loving a bright pink lip at the moment.

Skincare

I'm starting to notice the a few very fine lines on my forehead so I've decided it's time to spend some money on some good skincare. I recently picked up some Clinique bit that I'm loving and really want the full size eye cream. I will review the bits I've got in full soon but want to use them for six weeks before I do. Pictures are on twitter of what I got so far.

Bags

I've been eyeing up lots of bags on eBay at the moment. I really want a new everyday bag. This one is my favourite and comes from America so it's not cheap when you add postage on but I love it!! Seller found here here

Image from seller

Bit of a short wishlist this time as I still want the make up from last months and the purses from Aprils Wishlist

What are you wanting to purchase this month?

May Wishlist

I can't believe it's May already. Doing these wishlists are making the year feel like it's speeding by. Aprils wish list can be found here.

So how much did I buy from Aprils wishlist. I got a claireabella bag, photos to follow soon as it hasn't arrived yet. I got the polo bag which can be purchased from here. I will do a blog post when it arrives. The originals are being released this week and I'm hoping my OH will be able to get me one as a birthday present.

I did get Fanfare and I love it. It's the perfect your lips but better shade and I've worn it most days since purchasing it. Sorry Angel you now take a back seat.

As for the tangle teezer I've decided to wait a while after purchasing a brush specifically for extensions off ebay for a bargain £2 mark. This is specifically designed with loops so it doesn't catch on the micro rings.

So onto May's wishlist.

Clothes

Skinny jeans are back, I need to replace my black ones and after purchasing some dresses from New Look that I now want to return I've decided to just buy them. I'm hoping to pick up a new pair of the perfect black skinny jean.

I'm hoping 32inch will be long enough, normally I'm a 34inch but they don't seem to be showing them online. If not maybe I'll finally get some coloured skinnies.

Make up

As I know have £10 worth of points on my beauty card I think I may treat myself this month to a MAC eyeshadow and lipstick.

I'm currently deciding between these four. High Tea, Lady Bug, Ravishing and See Sheer. Do you own any of them? What one would you pick?

As for the eyeshadow I'm deciding from these. This will be my first eyeshadow so I'm thinking a neutral brown, I've swatched satin taupe and sable in person and love both. Do you have any I've picked or a different shade you'd recommend?

Hair Care

I want to try a new heat protection spray and have heard so much about the GotToBe Guardian Angel one. I have the hairspray in this range and it's amazing. Have you tried it? What heat protection spray do you use?

Body

After L sent me a photo of the new Soap and Glory sit tight intense I knew this was something I'd have to try. We are both huge fans of the original sit tight (review found here) being a pear shaped girl any weight I gain goes to my bum and very top of my thighs so I find myself in a constant battle to get rid of it. I can't wait to try this, expect a review once it's been purchased. I love the little massage balls it now comes with. Are any of you guys eyeing this up to. At £16.50 it's not cheap so I'll be waiting for 3 for 2.

Another wishlist done, another expensive month it seems. There is always stuff I want and I'm not good at resisting. What's on your list for this month?

March Wishlist

I'm still trying to be good and not spend so I only got one of the things off my February Wishlist, the Babyliss Heated rollers, my review of them can be found here. So onto my March Wishlist.

Clothes

Coloured skinny jeans are making another appearance here but this time in pink or red. As spring is approaching I think coloured skinny jeans will really brighten up my wardrobe.
