NOWSEEN jewellery discount code.

Hello sweets, just a quick post from me today; 

Do you remeber back in October when I blogged about the new brand NOWSEEN.com? (find it here if you missed it!) Well since then they have launched with plenty of goregous pieces and a swish website which is an absolute dream to browse.

 To thank me for posting about them, they have given me a 20% discount code to share with you lovely people. Any of their pieces would make a wonderful Christmas present or a little gift for yourself! Prices start at just £8.00 and the quality looks superb.

I may just have to treat myself... This is only valid until the 19th so be speed if you want to take advantage of the fab deal :) 

Let me know if you use it!

Charity shop finds #1.

Hi everyone, I hope you're well. 

Last Saturday was the Saturday of bargains; In the morning my mum, sister and me went to a huge makeup sale where everything was either 50p or £1 (haul coming soon!) and later on in the day I went to a sweet town near me called Stony Stratford to do some charity shopping. It was amazing. I can safely say I will be doing this thrifting lark more often, Lot's of vintage prettiness and supporting amazing charities? Yes please.

This is what I ended up bringing home with me:

Tea cup and Saucer- £1.30

Tin- £5.00

Necklace- £2.50

Yankee Candles- £1.99 each

I'm totally in love with everything I bought, they look adorable in my room! Now I tell a lie with the Yankee Candles, these were not actually from a charity shop, but I wanted to show you them because they smell so amazing! Sugared apple makes me want to cry with happiness. True story. The Necklace is so delicate and pretty, I love anything with a vintage or cameo feel to it so look out for this in future OOTD's. I saw the tin and was undecided over it in the shop because it was £5.00, however I'm so glad it came home with me! I've decided I want to start collecting pretty teacups to put tea lights in, trust me, it looks so sweet! 

I can see this becoming something I do regularly, I found it oddly therapeutic just pottering around and the bargainous gems; I'm officially a charity shopper!

What do you think of my finds? Are you a fan of charity shopping?

A very happy un-birthday to me.

OOTD...
On Wednesday, I went out for a meal with my girls in honour of my 15th birthday (which is this Sunday :))

In true teenage style, we ate in Nandos, seen as we weren't going anywhere fancy, I decided to go quite casual :)

 Jacket-Asos

Top-Topshop

Jeans-Republic

Nike Blazers- Office

It was actually pretty sunny and warm when I took these pictures, so I could get away with wearing my leather jacket without completely freezing to death!

I bought this little crop top a while ago now, but I had been saving it to wear for my meal :) I like the high neck and little side split details and although this is going to sound weird, the fact that its white, I'm not sure why, but there's something about white that makes me feel all summery! Because my jeans are high waisted I don't feel like there's so much on show either.

I stole my sisters Blazers for this outfit ;) I think they give the over all look a much more relaxed feel and are actually really comfy!

I just added some gold pieces to this aswell, because I wanted to keep it quite simple;

Sorry for how awful these images are, my sisters photography skills seemed to go out of the window at this point!



Earrings-republic

I bought these earrings a while back and I just love them! They're quite a statement piece and I think they're really unique. I also think its quite nifty that they go through the ear (but none of that gross ear stretching business goes on!)

Necklace- Mums :)

 Again I stole this necklace from my Mum ,its the perfect length for something with a high  neck and sits really nicely.

My make up and hair is just standard for me really, not to say that I don't like it this way :)

I had a really lovely time on Wednesday, its so lovely for us all to go out together, mind you I'm still recovering from going to sleep at half five after my sleepover ...

On a side note, I'm now on Instagram! check me out: alice_808

I will happily follow back other bloggers :)

What do you think of my outfit?

My bedside table.

Hello lovelies.

What a boring Sunday I've had! literally just done homework all day , still only four days until my Easter break (not that I'm counting down or anything...)

For today's post, I though I would give you a glimpse at a little corner of my room; my bedside table!

The actually table was made by my Grandpa, who is like the best maker/fixer :) I love that it slots perfectly into place between my bed and the weird pillar thing. Its also a great size and has a little draw type thing underneath, where I keep my diary and blogging book :).

So, I will start at the back!

All of this stuff is actually resting on a fairytale book, which is lovely and also the perfect size! The little flower thingy, is a sort of DIY I did, I just found these faux flowers and wanted to use them, so I feel the bottle with beads, tied some ribbon around the neck and popped them in the top :)

Right of that we have my Harajuku lovers perfume in `lil Angel` I can't think of a worse name for a perfume, but I love the scent, so I keep it here to remember to use it!

Next to that, I keep some body sprays, this is the only Charlie scent I really like, I think the others are a bit grannyish, but I'm a huge fan of `touch` , the other spray I have here is a new impulse, which I adore :)

Finally, I have an Aldi deodorant :) it's actually really nice and a great deodorant.



Sorry about the lighting!

At the side of my table, I like to keep the books I'm reading. I have here, two of the Chemical Garden trilogy books, these are so good! if you enjoy reading then I urge you to give these ago :) , I can't wait to read the final instalment . Also I have `50 dresses that changed the world` which is a lovely, quality hardback from the V&A, perfect for when I just want to flick trough something. Next along is `the statistical probability of love at first sight` which is a ridiculous but great love story. And finally I've got Jane Eyre, which I am reading at the mo :)

I keep my little alarm clock here, it changes colour every hour! Personally I love thing like that :) I keep a pocket mirror here as well.

I also have a collection of lip balms, which are really here because I have no where else to put them, but I think they look quite cute :). I like to keep some handcream at my bedside as well, and try to put it on every night before I go to sleep.

Other things I keep here include my Ipod and dock, phone (when I'm being organised!) and my little Ikea bird lamp with a few bracelets on it and things on it.

Technically not my table, but I thought I would share the side of my bed as well! I have some fairy lights wrapped around the bars, which I think is really cute and makes them a bit more interesting. I also keep all of my big/ long necklaces on the side here.

So that's my bedside table! I'm thinking of doing a few more of these posts for different places in my room :)

Whats on your bedside table?

Out of focus, eye to eye.

OOTD #2

Hello all!

 If you live in the UK, you will know that yesterday was Red Nose day! for most people of my age, this means raising some cash for this amazing cause, and one of the best ways to do it is buy wearing what you want for school, and bringing in a donation. So... seen as my school is always non- uniform, but with a strict dress -code, I thought I would take full advantage buy wearing all the things I'm not normally allowed to wear! 

Anyway, onto my outfit:

Sorry about how gross my hair looks( I just got out of the rain!)

Denim shirt- River island

T-shirt- Zara

Disco pants- Misguided

Socks - M&S

Converse- Schuh

I love this t-shirt; I like the colours and the motif in general really! I bought it a size up, so its quite over sized, but that's how I wanted it :). It was also a total bargain, this beaut was £3.99, reduced from £16.99! I always think its worth having a look in the sale section in Zara.

I wear these disco pants a lot, and hopefully I'm getting a proper pair ( not the AA ones, but a pair with the pockets and a zip) so i'll be waering them even more!

 

My denim shirt was also a little sale item, I bought this after Christmas; it was half price, £20, down from £40 :) I had my parka on over this as well. I wanted to take theses shots outside, but it was pouring :(

Necklace- Republic



Earrings- primark

I decided to keep my jewelry quite simple for this outfit. I have quite a collection of crucifix necklaces now, and I love the turquoise colour of this one. Ive just got a simple pair of studs (in both respects!) for my earrings, nice and simple :)

I wore my trusty converse as well, I honestly think these are the comfiest brand of shoes ever! I thought I would wear socks with stars on, just to match my T-shirt :p I also wore my little DIY anklet as well.

I didn't have time to put much make up on this morning, But I did my eyeliner and applied Topshop `Brighten Rock` to my lips, I think its the perfect neon pink :)

Obviously I'm not wearing any red *Slaps wrists*, but I did have a red nose..

I did like my little dinosaur. 

As a class, we raised £85.30 for this fantastic charity., which I thought was pretty good, considering we normally have a measly £12 or something! I'm going to the theatre tonight with my family, I have no idea what to wear!

How did you spend your Red Nose day?
