Wow...

Well i must apologise for not blogging in such a long time! With uni and work, things kind of just piled up. Still have some things to sort out with uni, and I'm trying to get back in to the swing of things with work. I guess all i can do is take each day as it comes.
I have some good things happening over the next few months, holidays, visiting friends and family, days outs, which i am really excited about. It's  lovely to have things to look forward too. I will make sure to update my blog, i do love blogging, so i think it's time to get back to it (:!

Feeling rather blousey.

My name is Kath, and I'm a blouseaholic. It's official, they are starting to take over my wardrobe! There are so many really nice ones about at the moment, I'm going to have to put myself on a plan to stop myself from buying them! They are just so easy to wear. Dress down with some leggings, cardi and some loafers. Dress up with a pair of heels and a nice skirt.... Too many ways!
Most recent one is from, yeah you guessed it Primark! I didn't spot it straight away, it was only when i was heading to the changing rooms and i saw someone hang it up. I made it my mission to find it, i was not leaving the shop until i had it! I love the stripes on it, not normally something i go for. It reminds me of Beatlejuice in a way. I guess that's alright because i love the film!

Blouse - Primark / Cardi - Charity shop

Oh hiii!

It was only £10 so i thought why not! Primark will be the death of my bank... and that's something i thought i wouldn't say!

I'm also having a debate in my head weather to purchase some studded loafers. I've seen them on the Topshop website and fell in love. Seen some cheaper alternatives on eBay. Should i or shouldn't i? I can't seem to decide.

Aztec Love

At the moment i LOVE Aztec. I've always loved the designs and patterns, so I'm glad that it's all over at the moment. I find that Primark is actually pretty good for it at the moment too, and got some lovely pieces. At the beginning of the year i bought a gorgeous burgundy pencil skirt with Aztec print, only £8! Don't think it's for sale at the moment, haven't seen it about. If you do, snap it up cause it's lush!

I bought a new blouse, well it was a bit of a rush actually. I was wearing a dress, and felt pretty uncomfortable in it so i thought, dive in to Meadowhall, and grab a pair of leggings and a top on budget. Where better than Primark right? 

 Sleeveless blouse - £10 
Headscarf - £1.50


 It must be one of my favourite ones at the moment just to chuck on and go. I always wear it with a cardigan, simply because i don't like to show my arms.  Also i bought the head scarf the other day too from Primark. I love the colours and thought it would look nice with my mustard colour dress.

ORDERED

Currently waiting for my navy Vans to come. Ordered from eBay, £11.99... Bargain!

Getting there!

Finally my hair is starting to go back to silver/white. Trying to grow my hair, so it's taken some time so i don't kill it. Going rather well though. Decided to give John Frieda Sheer Blonde Colour Renew a go (you can find Here). It's on offer with Boots at the moment, which was an added bonus! Also, a touch of silver twice a week shampoo (you can find Here) and the Directions white toner (you can find Here). It takes some doing, but the end result is lovely. Well, i think it is anyway (:! 

Result so far!

How i achieved (hair must already be platinum/light blonde).

  1. Use John Frieda colour renew, leave for 3 minutes and rinse
  2. Towel dry hair and apply a touch of silver twice a week shampoo for 6 - 8 minutes and rinse.
  3. Towel dry again and apply the Directions white toner and leave in for 20 minutes and rinse.

Hope this helps anyone who is wanting to go this colour anyway. As i said it takes some doing to get it, but worth it in the end. I didn't batter my hair before hand going blonde, it's taken a while. Don't rush it. If you have black hair, don't think you can achieve it anytime soon (tried it before back when i was 19, MISTAKE!). It'll only kill your hair and turn in to candyfloss texture... Not what you want.

Four eyes.

Well, my new glasses finally came! A person who works for oggle kindly delivered my glasses personally, which was really nice, couldn't be any more impressed! Thank you (:

Although they were perfect anyway, my other half said that they should be a bit more jazzy. So i decided to get the swarovski crystals out and jazz them up! I think it's give them a slight 1950's edge, as they are cat eye glasses, but have been enhanced by the crystals.


I'm really glad i bought these glasses, amazing price, lovely people work there, just brilliant.

Also, just ordered a few bits from the ASOS. Can't wait for them to come (:!

Through the looking glass.

Well, i finally went to the opticians, and yes, it's just as i thought. My eye sight is getting worse. I guess on the up side i get to have some new glasses! I hate looking around at the glasses, you feel pressured to buy from their. Luckily i remembered that you can just ask for your prescription and take off and find somewhere MUCH cheaper. I don't really have the funds to be spending £125 on some Gok Wan glasses, no matter how lush they are.

I came across a page on Facebook that sells glasses called Oggle. I went on to their website, and the glasses are amazing! They are fashionable and cheap and all frame prices include the prescription lenses. Mine came to £35 for some lovely cat eye ones, proper can't wait till they arrive! If you don't like them when they come, you can send them back, 100% money back guarantee! They start from £17, just lovely.

Cat eye glasses £35, amazing. 

Should be here by the end of the week, so I'll keep you's updated!

Long time no see!

Well it feels like it has been forever since I've blogged (probably because it has) and I've feel as though I've let myself down a little. It isn't like i haven't had the time to do it, i guess i could have easily slipped away for a little while and wrote a little something.

I have been trying to get my uni life sorted, and i think it's going quite well. Had a few meetings and i think i can get back on track, hopefully even pass this year! Hopefully. Also I'm finally back at work, after over 5 weeks of being off. I feel as though the work load is starting to creep up on me again, just hope i can control it this time.

Anyway I'm feeling quite positive within myself and hopefully i can turn things around. I have some great things to look forward too, trips away and mini holidays, so i shall be using them to drive me through all this! Corny i know, but true.
