Terrible Tuesdays round II and Retail Therapy

Well, today has been bloody terrible as far as Terrible Tuesdays go. I won't bore you with too many details but my day at work was horrendous because the woman I have recently been paired with has monumental mood swings and tries to stitch up everyone she works with and today she succeeded in stitching me up a treat. I looked like a royal waste of space and I found it really upsetting because I like to think I'm a hard worker that doesn't let people down.

What did cheer me up massively though, was that when I looked at my little blog I saw that I had 
99 followers!

That's right, 1 off 100.
I couldn't believe it, that's like 14 extra followers since the weekend and I know that there  are newer blogs with more followers but this isn't one of those, this is my blog and I am so so thrilled that 99 of you are following me. Thank you all so much for reading my ramblings, I haven't even replied to everyone's comments yet and I promise I'll start posting more frequently 

I went into H&M at the weekend and I couldn't believe how good their jewellery is at the moment, especially the necklaces... cue low quality, blurry & sneakily taken phone photo:


This is what I came away with but I will be going back very soon and coming out with much more I think


I LOVE this quilted make up bag, I'm going to buy another one and use it as a clutch bag, the colours are amazing in real life. 

I wasn't too sure at first but I think I will try and make the front a little less dangly and it will be perfect with lots of different outfits... ♥ a statement necklace.

All my stacking rings have gone brassy so these will be great until I find some as dainty as my previous ones

So these products below are obviously not from the wonderful Hennes & Mauritz but I thought I would give a try:

£10, I'm currently trying this out so I can give a good review of it...currently undecided.
 I know, I know, who knows how many years late on to the bandwagon I am but I thought I would try a teeny bottle and see if I wake up looking like a goddess after a months use. I look forward to the results.

Right, do you know what? I think I'm going to do a giveaway, I'll do a post about this at the weekend!
I hope you have all had a better Tuesday than I have today :)

Outfit of the day & Caviar manicure

Ok, so I've not done an outfit of the day post before because I just can't really take a picture of myself and during the week I just wear my work stuff and then it's just gym gear or onesie time. 
This is basically what I wore to lovebox the other weekend, minus the wellies and dream catcher earrings in my previous post.
Speckle neppy sweat top- Topshop
Heart necklace- Lola Rose
Polka dot dress- H&M
Tights-M&S
Moccasins- Primark



I love Lola Rose jewellery but I really don't like necklaces that are too short and sometimes I find that theirs can come up a little too high. I bought some more beads from Hobby craft which amazingly were a perfect match and made a sort of extender so that it's ended up the just the right length, for me anyway.

I've wanted some Minnetonka moccasins for ages and couldn't figure out which size to get so when I saw these doppelgängers at Christmas in Primark for £12 (I think) I couldn't resist! They are suede and probably the comfiest shoes I've owned in a long time, they did other colours and bootee style ones too which I wish I'd picked up. I always find that with the leather and suede Primark shoes, I should buy 3 pairs of each because I wear them to death and for £40 less than the Minnetonka ones they were a complete bargain.

Caviar Manicure

After what has been about 3 months, the mini steel beads that I bought on eBay have arrived from China and I can have a go at the hundreds & thousands style nails that Ciate have recently made so popular. I've had to order about 5 more packs though because there are so many different colour variations I've been trying out and just need enough beads to do a whole pair of paws!


First attempt at the 'caviar manicure' but the camera just hasn't captured how nice and colourful it looked

I love hearing this whenever I go into Marks & Spencer...listen out next time you pop in.
