Wireless Wardrobe Worries

I had planned Wireless Festival a few weeks ago, but one thing I left until last minute was my outfit choice. There were too many ideas floating around my head to decide. 

Wellie's or no wellie's? Shorts are a must - but what if it rains? And what if it's really hot? The first step for my choice was definitely to find out the weather. 

26 degrees? That's hot enough for me! So my black Levi's became a definite choice. No rain - no wellie's! I was going to be all hot a sweaty from screaming 'marry me!!' At Justin Timberlake anyway, I didn't need anything that would make me hotter. 

I did think about wearing my dungaree dress or dungarees but I thought shorts were just easier for toilet purposes. The toilets are overfilled and for lack of another word, gross- I did not want my straps chilling on floor while I go about my business. 

For my top half I went for a patterned top from Topshop, it has a tasseled trim which I thought has a festival feel to it.

I wore lots of chunky jewellery, such as this necklace from Newlook at £6.99. I also wrapped a chained necklace from Topshop  around my wrist to make a bracelet. 

The only regret I have for my outfit was that because my top had thick straps I now I have awful tan lines! 

Wireless was amazing, I am very jealous of everyone going today and tomorrow, I wish I was there all weekend. 

Late Night eBay Sprees are the Way Forward

You know how it starts- you can't sleep so you go on every app, and one thing leads to another and you're on eBay. You promise yourself you're just looking, then you accidentally purchase something. You try and tell yourself that it's a one item thing and it's out of your system, but before you know it you've spent your wages and you don't even feel guilty. 

The good thing with eBay though is you can find absolute bargains so you don't break the bank at all. This evening I bought a few items and altogether it is still under £10. 

First on my list was some sunglasses. I have gone off of last years pair which has resulted in stealing my mum's. The options were endless on eBay, literally thousands of pairs to choose from at seriously low prices, all brand new as well.

They were so cheap I just had to buy two pairs when I couldn't decide. First, I bought some round rimless black glasses as I think they look boho chic for summer, and suit most face shapes (plus they were only £1.59!) I hope I can pull them off John Lennon style. 

 

Next, I copied my mum's pair- also black but with half a frame. I had a pair just like these last year but lost them on holiday. But at £1.67 and free postage I can't think of a reason not to replace them. 

My other purchase, and perhaps my favourite was this Perspex neon envelop clutch. I have wanted one for so long but kept putting it off because I thought I would never use it. But spotting this from the online shop- Lily Yang Store, at £2.99  I couldn't justify not getting it. Even if I never get around to using it won't he a huge waste of money. I ordered it in the fluorescent green, I can't wait for it's arrival. 

Finally; my last buy of the evening was some silver knuckle rings, at £1.49 for a pack. They also come in gold but I seem to wear more silver lately, and I already have some gold ones. 

So there you have it, when you can't sleep and just want to buy new things, look to eBay for a way to get some new things you need (or just really really want) without spending your money for the month. 

Kukee Jewellery

One of my friends loves jewellery, she has so many pieces if you ever need anything to go with your outfit, her jewellery box would have the solution.
By chance, she stumbled upon a jewellery website called www.kukee.com which had some lovely pieces for really cheap prices. Some of the stuff is just like topshop for a quarter of the price. And some are beautifully handmade.
Seeing as my loan came in and you can never have too much jewellery, I went on a spree. I ordered two necklaces and two rings to add to my collection.
The postman delivered a little brown box today which enclosed some bright pink tissue paper with my goodies inside!
This is the first time I have ordered from there and it was so straight forward, and perfectly packaged. They even threw in a free gift! A little knuckle ring for the top of your finger.
I love all of my pieces, the only thing I would say is watch out with rings because one of mine is one size only and it just it my fingers, I'm usually a S-M.
I will definitely be shopping on there again.
