Things I Fancy

I was introduced to Fancy by a friend. I initially downloaded the app, and after trying out the website version, I personally prefer tapping away at it on my iPhone, however, each to their own. 

Fancy is as quirky as Etsy but with similar functions to Pinterest. 

You can look at what you think you would be interested in by choosing categories, then your free to fancy what you want! 

Everything you fancy is then available on your own profile to share and even buy! 

Above are a few awesome things I fancy'd which reflect my own personal style I guess! 

So if you're always looking for new ways to procrastinate, like myself, I suggest you take a look, its free to download which is always a bonus. 

Instagrams Of The Week #1

Instagram is a great way for us all to dust of our frontal lobes (creative part of the brain) and delve into amateur photography by adding an arty filter to a seemingly dull picture of what you're having for dinner. 

Don't get me wrong, there are some beautiful/funny/interesting pictures on there that astound me whenever I visit the 'popular' page. 

However it's also quite a snappy way to get a sneak peak into the personal lives of bloggers, and find out what other sort of loves are in their life apart from the mirror selfies of the outfits we adorn ourselves with.

So, like many others, I have decided to start an IOTW (Instagrams of the Week) as a regular post on here, so you guys and gals can see what I get up to.

Above is my inebriated pouting face, wearing my new Topshop Lace Crop and Pleather skirt with studs from Hearts & Bows.
Below is when I went to visit family in Peterborough at the weekend and the snowy mountains of the country as I travelled on the train. Its weird looking at this now as its so sunny!

I got this ear cuff from River Island for a mere £3.00 and was testing out to see what it looked like. I'm a bit unsure still but at least my tragus piercing is finally starting to heal. 

The other is my very messy jewellery table including my new neon necklace and stud turquoise triangle earrings that I got in New Look's BOGOF offer, both came to £7.99! 

I thought this was quite funny, clearly too drunk for even autocorrect to understand. 

We went out to a Destiny's child night in one of the Manchester clubs which was so good when this photo was taken. I hate how you can clearly see my bright orange ear plugs because of the wretched tinnitus I have. 

Easter is no where near round the corner which means all the eggs and toys and especially the MaltEaster bunnies are in the supermarkets, and naturally I'm genuinely considering buying a year's supply of these.

My arsty toilet photography of my friend at another night out. I don't have a drinking problem, I swear!

The nails were in honour of Valentine's day, although I'm a bitter singleton, the endless love posts were too much to bear and I gave into inspiration. 

And finally I have this picture on my wall, and feeling sentimental one day and missing my dad loads, I decided to share it, and I love the added filter. Miss these days!

Celliana Wishlist

Celliana are a website based costume and statement piece jewellery company. 

Each design is well though out, original and edgy with a hint of seasonal trend and guaranteed to set off any outfit. 

They have been featured in a stack of mags (how I got to know them) and are climbing the fash ladder quickly.

These are my favourite pieces from the collection, and after having a sneaky peak at the sale I may have to treat myself!

The necklaces are my absolute favourites, I would wear any of them with an oversized jumper, some skinnies and a top knot (and some shoes, obvs. Unless I was feeling particularly hobbit-like that day).

Applying one would boost the style scale up a good few notches to a seemingly simple outfit.

They also have fab comps on their social media pages, so get liking and tweeting ladies!

Mint Flamingo Wishlist

Mint Flamingo is a small accessories brand founded this year selling adorable jewellery. And the best part is the prices! If you like quirky and/or vintage this website is great or give them a visit at a vintage fair, just follow them on twitter for the latest on what they're up to! 

Below are my favourites from their collection, I love the sugar skull ring and the studded collar! 

The novelty earrings are the cutest things ever as well! 

Definitely going to have a shop on here when all my christmas shopping has been done!

21st Birthday Weekend!

The birthday blues are upon me!

Last weekend it was my 21st, and it was truly the best birthday to date!

My family came up to see me in Manchester, which meant I got to wake up in a hotel on the day, had a leisurely morning and then went to town for a shopping spree with my mum. She bought me my birthday dress and a few other goodies (including those velvet shorts I was coveted a few posts ago!)

Then I went to meet my dad at the Hilton, where my little sisters and my cousin surprised me which was so nice! 

Followed by more amazing gifts and a stunning meal at Australasia.

Below are a few pictures from the day!

This is the dress I wore before the meal, part of my stud obsessed collection!

My beautiful sisters and cousin, I cried when they popped out of the wardrobe!

My sister bought me this gorgeous vintage pendant from 1880, and she put these adorable photos inside!

We all shared this bottle with some strawberries!

I also got 2 more bottles of champagne as well as chocolates! 

My friend baked me this cake! 

It was amazing!

And then I was given this one by my housemates!

So much cake! 

My Auntie gave me this Pink Vodka with gold flakes in this personalised bottle, so nice!

This is an awful photo but this is the dress I wore on my birthday night out. 

It's one of the brands in Topshop, and I wore it with an urban outfitters belt.

My friends from home all came up for the weekend from around the country and gave me this lovely pandora charm.

I was well and truly spoilt! 

But the best part I am going to save and write an entire post on because (although materialistic) its one of the most special things I have been given!
