Hello, 2012!

I'm so excited about this year. This is the year I graduate from university and get  job! Well, I like to think I will. This is also the year that I will go to New York...I haven't booked it yet, and no, I have not a penny in my bank account, but I think it's good to dream. I never really have new years resolutions, but this year I decided to set myself goals, and attempt to follow some achievable dreams. I think going to New York is a pretty good start.
Last night, I welcomed 2012 in a gorgeous French Connection dress. It was so floaty and pretty, and a great dress to show off some of my amazing dance moves....ha.

 I styled the dress with an over sized clutch from Primark, that is now reduced to £3(bargain!), and my black, patent Kurt Geiger shoes. I then wore my black, fitted Zara blazer because it was beyond freezing last night. 

I celebrated with my boyfriend, my friend, Sophie, and her boyfriend. We had a couple of drinkies and nibbles and then hit the city to dance the night away!

What did you do? I'd love to know how you all celebrated. My sister went to Paris which I am extremely jealous about...what a way to welcome the new year.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Oh Topshop, Oh leopard Print, Oh what a fabulous item you are...

I love Topshop. I love leopard print. Oh, and do I love handbags. Put all of these things together and you get my new clutch bag from Topshop. It's just so beautiful...so much so that it resulted to me posing with it at any given opportunity on a recent night out. Now that's what I call love.

Leopard print is pretty much everywhere at the moment, and I'm loving it!

Other leopard print I'm especially enjoying:

River Island, £39.99.

 

Christian Louboutin, £565 (We can all dream!)

Topshop, £60.00.

Topshop, £85.00

H&M, £7.99.

Leopard print is huge this season, and it definitely made a lovely appearance last winter too. I'm so excited to buy more animal print...without trying to look like Bette Lynch...ha.

OH gawd, I've spent too much money...again...

 I've been shopping...again. I did grab some rather good beauties though, so I am a very happy lady. Basically, all the discount available to students at the moment is just too much to handle:

20% off at:

New Look.

New Lock is also bringing their "25% off student lock in" to most cities, so watch out! Lancaster is holding theirs on 12th October from 7pm with lots of free champers and goodies!

Topshop.

Again Topshop are about to hold their student lock in, so watch out in a city near you.

River Island.

No discount from River Island, don't be silly, but they are having a lock in, which is quite rare. Lancaster is holding theirs on 4th October, very exciting!

                          Leopard print shoes, New Look, £17.99 (Not including 20% off)

   Tartan Bag, Primark, £7.00

Anyway, apologies for poor photo quality! My favourite purchases out of the stupid amount of things I bought, are the leopard print shoes and the tartan bag (oh, so very Gossip Girl indeed!)

Hope everybody is enjoying this lovely, yet unexpected sunshine! It was only last week that I was in my winter coat!

My whole outfit for £16....fabulous....

My friend Sophie celebrated her 21st birthday last Saturday. It was going to be a very dressy occasion, and this worried me a little. I have many dresses, all of which I have worn hundreds of time, and I really felt that this occasion deserved a lovely, new dress! However, I'm rather strapped for cash....so yes, obviously my friend, Primark helped me out.

All Primark- Dress, £10, belt, £2, bag, £4.

I also got the most lovely nail polish from No 7. They are currently doing the £5 No7 vouchers at Boots, therefore, the polish was £2 instead of £7.

This colour is brand new to Boots, and called Midnight dream. All I will say, is that the consistency was terrible. I had to apply five coats of polish until I was satisfied with the colour, however, after a lot of time waiting for it to dry, I was very happy!

Happy Birthday to my lovely and beautiful friend Sophie. 

I was in pure jealousy of her Topshop dress.

Have a lovely day whatever you're doing!

Love, Sophie Olivia x x
