St Tropz

Pre Fake Tan

Post Fake Tan

So I decided to try out a fake tan, I'm very fair skinned and decided as it's summer it would be nice to have a slightly bronzed look. I googled a lot of different reviews for different products and decided to go for the St Tropez spray tan. I took the photos outside so you could see the colour in the natural light. I did it myself and it did turn out really well, it's not too dark or orange so it looks more natural, although it is darker in real life compared to the photo. It came out really well on my stomach its a little dodgy on my arms and legs, but it's mainly in the hard to reach areas, so keeping this in mind I would suggest having someone to spray you, rather than attempting it yourself in order to get a flawless look. 

New Dress.

Dress:Topshop
Ring:Topshop
Silver hoop earings: eBay

Today was so hot!! And luckily my new dress arrived from Topshop. Its a plain t-shirt dress, I originally wanted it in grey but I saw this one in the petite section and decided to go for that, as it would fit my body a little better. It's so hard buying dresses and skirts when you're only 5'2" because everything is just far too long. This dress is really comfortable and the perfect length/size. I'm really happy with it, and to top it off, it was only £25. An absolute bargain for Topshop.

I teamed the dress with a pair of sandals because it was so nice today, but when it gets a little colder, I plan on pairing it with tights, boots and a leather jacket, so stay tuned for that little outfit.

Band of the week #2 -Deap Vally.

Hell raising California girls, Lindsey troy and Julie Edwards, strip music down to its simplest and most fundamental form: beat, melody and meaning. 

Think Alison Mosshart from bands, The Kills and Dead Weather mixed with Seasick Steve. The wailing LA blues licks, riffs and primal howls of Gonna Make My Own Money, designed from years of cruising the LA rock scene, has earned them gigs with The Eagles of Death Metal.  

Definitely a duo to look out for.

I Need These...

Finally added these frilly ankle socks from Topshop to my basket. I've wanted to get some for a while and haven't got around to getting any. I picked up a couple of pairs in different colours, as they're only £3.50. I think they're perfect for chunky boots to keep an outfit  looking slightly more feminine and girly.

Day To Night...

Leotard: New Look
Shorts: Levis's- Charity shop find.
Heels: Topshop
Anklet: Accessorize

So meeting my friends in the day developed from a few drinks in the local wetherspoon's to a night out in our local club. For 99p drinks who can say no? I didn't have a lot of time to get ready so I decided to swap the disco pants for a pair of shorts and exchange the slipper shoes for a pair of my favourite heels. The shorts are a couple of years old, I dug them out of a charity shop for £3.50 - Bargain! I decided as it's summer it was a perfect opportunity to get my legs out, before we know it, it'll be summer and far too cold. I chose my chunky Topshop heels, as I've had them for a few months and only worn them once. I've not been out much at all recently, as I work nights, so decided they had to be worn, I absolutely love them. I bought them with the last bit of my loan only to be told by my friend they'd gone in the sale a week later-definitely one of the biggest problems with shopping in Topshop, but I love them to pieces and think they're worth every penny.

Broken camera

Shoes: New Look

Firstly I'd like to apologise for the lack of quality in my photos, my camera seems to have died so until I'm able to fix it I'm stuck using my iPhone 4, but luckily it's slightly better than my old blackberry.

So, I've been working a lot recently trying to get a few bob for when I return to university. Today is my first day off in a long time and decided to spend some time having a much needed catch up with friends and also getting a head start on sorting a few things out before I head back for my final year in September. I didn't do anything to exciting just a few drinks in the local pub, so my outfit is pretty casual. It was super sunny when I left this morning but I grabbed a cardigan my nan knitted for me, in case it got a little cold-lets face it, you can't always be sure on the weather in this country.
