My First Missguided Online Purchase

My first Missguided purchase and I love it.

Okay so maybe I do have some flaw's in it but that is only cause online you can not really see exactly what your buying. Lets start with the jacket I have been searching everywhere and I mean everywhere for!
For a jacket/ similar jacket to the one I have been lusting after, since I seen it in a "Newlook" in cardiff. I fell in love but it was not my size so I looked online, still not my size, tried all the shops close by, then started looking in different high-street shops for a similar one. It was exactly like the one below just it was partly suede.
This one is soft leather in a waterfall style, the down side to this jacket is. It's huge I have the smallest size possible but the front waterfall effect is too big and very square it just hangs awkwardly.
Black Mallorie Leather Waterfall Jacket: £24.99
 

This dress Bodycon just like I love, I have also been after a very tight fitting black skinny strap dress.
So valala! I found it I ordered it in a size 6. Seen as they actually had my size and sometimes size 8 in bodycon is just too loose that it falls down on the top area if you get what I mean?
But this is tight to the extreme, I think my bum my pop out any minute and start doing a J-lo Bum shake.
Demetra Ribbed Bodycon Mini Dress: £17.99


With Free delivery on orders over £40 at the moment. 
Oh and an added bonus I ordered at 9:50 not expecting to actually get next delivery till the wednesday because was late, But nope I had it delivered by 1.pm Tuesday.
WOO massive thumbs up to them from me :)

Disclaimer: Everything Shown and said is in my own words and payed for in my own money. This is not a payed advertisement at all, just my own views on what I bought and I thought I would share my thoughts with you

One Spoilt Princess Cat


Sabrina is One Spoilt Kitty.
Her birthday or so we have named it because she can be a right witch on times is:

This HALLOWEEN she will be 6 years old.
So I went to Pets at Home and found this gorgeously cute/unique collar in the halloween section.
 What do you think?

I have one of each and both with their own personality.

Purple Rain. Purple RAIN!!! for a £1 by Rimmel

 Read the title and now like...you what?!?!?!
Yes you read right, this little beauty (well actually rather normal size) nail polish is only a £1.
I bought it one of those cheap shops, often you can pick up little deals like this in Poundland, BnM's and such alike. 
I now own this purple rain 410 edition from Rimmel and absolutly love it. Okay So I did not put an under layer underneath or a top transparent coat on but two layers and it was still slightly streaky in the sunlight and did very slight chips on the edges of my nails. But I do work in an office and am a good Missus in the house so chips in my polish are not new to me at all!
Halloween is nearly apon us an even if I do say so myself this is a rather sexy and dark nail polish PERFECT for Halloween!

So if you want a dark, wide brush, smooth and most of all cheap Rimmel (or such brands alike) nail polish go to your nearest cheap store and check out what little gems they have hidden awaiting you.

My Packing buddy and new home items!

This is my cat malakie's idea of helping pack! Oh and he has an obsession with bags, boxes and anything pink!!


The black ash chest of draws are up! slowly the place is having a touch of us in every room and that's without the stuff we brought with us. OK so everything that I am on about I chose and we bought but still he likes to play his games, watch tv and be a man. So I'm allowed to amuse myself with making the house look nice aren't I?

Cheesy? Too Cute? I don't care, I wanted a wooden plaque for our home with some sort of 'us' message before we even found a place. We went to the seaside town which is like a minute walk away and I found that in a bargain shop. I thought it was perfect, it is not too in your face but we always talked about saving ourselves by moving in together like a fairytale. So I thought it suited well. 

What do you think?
Love Youuuus

Hot Chocolate, Iced Cakes & New Home!

Hot Chocolate, Iced Cakes & New Home!

So we moved 1/4 of our stuff in together on the Saturday when we got the keys.
The Sunday I stayed at my family home as was my mum's birthday, I took her to a rather nice/expensive café, where we had Hot Chocolate/Cappucino's, Carrot cake and my little sister a ginormous Turkish mint sundae....
Mum wanted to see my new home so I took her there with a few of my items, My sister now want's to move into the bathroom cause it's lovely. Mum finds the place lovely but cold cause at the time it had none of our decorations or bits that made it look ours in it.
But Monday night after work we picked some more of His stuff up and we spent our first night in our big apartment.
It's only Wednesday and other than the study which is a massive pile of my clothes until the new chest of drawers arrive on Thursday the house is becoming more homely and ours, well mine mostly because I am the one with most ornaments and I bought some very cute cushions yesterday  from Asda in the sale.



So providing I have some alone time and 'He' agree's I shall put some snap shots up of our new home and little close up's of things im proud of or just bought and love over the next coming weeks.

We are looking for a long stand alone mirror that is not too chunky that we can fit in our hallway. IF you know of anywhere to get one that is of reasonable price then please let me know!
