eBay bargain

I haven't bought much from eBay for a while now the last thing I bought was this cute little owl backbag for my friend for just over £5 and she loves it so much she asked me to get one for each of her nieces.



Another bargain I recently purchased from eBay was this beautiful corset for the making value of £9 new with tags.
I though was a under bust when I was bidding and I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived it was and It turned out to be over bust as I was looking to buy one later on that month so that saved me even more money.




My last eBay bargain I have had in the last few week was a large collection of extra fine glitter I got nearly 50 small pots in variety of colour for only £6, where as I usally have to pay £1 an pot. I use the glitter for some of our cosplay make up.

My haul

The other day I recieve all my bits I bought online on the same day which rarely happens even more shocking was the postman actually deliver my stuff and didn't have work to the sorting office woohoo.


I received my monthly crown and glory glitterati which is full with the most wonderful hair pieces and each month has a theme, this months theme was tropical in the package was a orchid fascinator, a humming bird fascinator, a cocktail umbrella fascinator, fruit segment Alice band and some colourful flower Bobby pins. I loved this theme it's great for the summer when I wear more colour clothes and like to do more with my hair.



My second package was from corset story where I got deal in their sale section I firstly bought a beautiful black satin under bust corset for my sister and I bought myself the lovely black with white umbrellas banned apparel cardigan to go with my other banned apparel bits I been buying since I found out they did larger sizes at London edge.



My last package was from the amazing Sarah who bought a corset and it didn't fit her so she swapped it with me and I have to say I love it, it's amazing and I love you for swapping with me.

This week

So Sorry for not posting for while had  busy week  this week filled mostly with work, my volunteer job in my local community centre, I also had to go with my mother to a few doctors appointments and most unfortunately had to attend a funeral for a family friend so understandably not been on-line much this week.

Top highlights of the week where I went to the opening of Oxford streets brand new flagship store of simply be and all I can say is they are amazing the staff where so helpful and kind, literally could not do more for me I had a wonderful bra fitting and I do say the bra they recommended is unbelievably comfortable and fits perfectly. they have a beautiful Joe brown collection one of my favourite designers and I fell in love with a purple skater dress which I will purchase hopeful when I get paid again. Like with anything new they where a few bug mostly I think they need a little more practice before hand with the till as they seemed to be unsure with the system but other that a wonderful shopping experience. 

Another highlight was my birthday and the presents one of my wonderful present's was this lovely Yours clothing be your own kind of beautiful and that pretty much says everything I stand for, I love all different things and believe that everyone should be able to express them selves how every they want and that beauty is not just what is seen on TV and magazine and that everyone is beautiful in there own unique way. I top it off with my new crown and glory purple stars headband, hey is I am going to be beautiful why not add glitter and shine like a star.

Another of my favourite outfits for this week was a old but much love roses and glitter top match with new skinny fit Evans jeans topped off with a crown and glory flower head band, A simple yet beautiful outfit perfect for a relaxed Friday at work.

Working hard play harder

Full day today working first thing then I went out shopping for birthday present thank mum and this evening hang out with my friends so I decided to a simple and easily maintainable hair do just a pin up the sides and add a beautiful fascinator and tada a quick and easy hair style that looks fab.

Dress is from new look it a simple dress great for work and goes well with the yours clothing legging.

My current obsession is that work my hysteria machine and the labyrinth necklace is one of her amazing collect. I cannot tell you just how wonderfully talented woman she is I will pop a link and you can see for yourself.

After it was shopping time and for the first time in ages I went into Evans and didn't buy a thing I tried on a few dress including  vans Scarlett and Jo 2 in 1 floral prom dress I tried both the types and I found that the waist band was so low on me that no matter what I did I could not get the dresses to lay correctly I was quite upset as I seen them on-line and had fallen in love with them but they were just so unflattering.
Another dress I tried on was a stripped floral maxi dress and there was only one word and it was horrible I it look nice on the rail but as soon as I put it on the fit was lovely but the pattern was just yuck, plus it made by bust look flat no wonder it was on sale.

Yours clothing at least I had some success I bought a dress and a couple of tops which I be wearing this week but there was a few item in yours that I loved but had a few flaw the most annoying was this beautiful red and black floral skater dress which looked amazing I would have bought it but the top area was very boxy and was way to large so I would have to have it adjusted which just but me off other then that it was a wonderful dress.
I also liked a  half leather look trousers they felt nice and where very comfortable but the fit was not very flattering it hugged to much on the stomach so made me look a little bigger other than that was wonderful.

After a semi successful shopping trip I went had a girlie night in with my friend a few Jack Daniels and a couple of movies, Hugh Jackman is so yummy!

I still have some birthday money left so that mean another shopping trip later on in the week woohoo!
