want; cut-outs + chrome


I spotted this cut-out dress whilst in work the other day. I think it's perfect to throw on with some tights, ankle boots + a statement necklace for uni days! I probably have enough silver collars but there's something about this Zara one that I love! Since my boyfriend bought me my gold Michael Kors for Christmas it hasn't left my wrist! I've been bitten by the designer watch bug and now am lusting after one in silver + rose gold! My skin isn't my best feature at the moment so hoping to treat myself to some Liz Earle goodies when in Birmingham this weekend. I tried and loved the Cleanse + Polish so hoping to branch out and maybe pick up a mask; has anyone tried this one or can recommend any? My skin would be very grateful!

sunday post #026

 hungover shopping trip attire; shoe porn; refuelling; eyelure love; plan b gig; buttons in cloth house; laura + i; glitter overload; just me + my jug.

It's been a weird, long old week filled with ups + unfortunately some downs. Monday night, my boyfriend + I attended our first concert of 2013! We went to see Plan B in the Motor Point Arena in Cardiff! I wasn't too fussed on the newer, grimey stuff but rekindled my love for his Strickland Banks album, so many good songs! Our fave Labrinth was also supporting so all in all we had a really good night. Wednesday I was back up in London on yet another unsuccessful fabric shopping trip. It was a right miserable day; Megabus problems + bitter weather, make a grumpy Charlotte!

I finally got to spend some time with my friends Friday. We all got dolled up + attended the Tiger Tiger Jewel bar launch, sore heads all around Saturday! Seeing has I had a rare weekend off work; it couldn't be spent feeling sorry for myself so my boyfriend + I ventured to the shops where I picked up some bargains + a vanilla cooler, saviour! I've not got a lot planned for this week except a family meal + lots of uni work! No plans for Valentine's Day as of yet but hopefully we will be spending the weekend in Birmingham which will be worth waiting for.

want; rose gold + wine

H&M burgundy blouse £12.99; NARS isolde eyeshadow duo £23.50; RIVER ISLAND rose gold statement spike necklace £12; ZARA vamp heels £59.99; TOPSHOP premium peg leg trousers £42.

I looove how the colour of this shirt works with rose gold accessories! When rummaging through my wardrobe the other day I came to realise that I'm in a bit of a black-funk! This colour shirt is probably a bit AW now but planning on introducing a bit more colour into my outfits! I'm also going to try out break out of my skinny jean habit, starting with a nice pair of peg legs!

I've been looking for the perfect pair of pointed courts for literally about a year now + I'm still searching! They either seem to have too little a heel or are too rounded at the front! These Zara ones look pretty perfect thus far! Uhhh how perfect does this eye shadow duo look?! Going to get searching on the weekend for a drug store dupe!
