Discount night...

Hey Sweeties!

On the 2nd of October 2012 at the Eldon Square Shopping Centre, pandemonium struck.

Yes, it was that one time of year where the many students of Northumbria and Newcastle University flocked to get ....

DISCOUNTED CLOTHES! 

So ready with our Uni ID's Chloe, Yasmin, Josh and I headed to town to spend money what little money we had.

Many shops got involved such as Dorothy Perkins, New Look, Republic, River Island, Fenwicks, Levi's, Accessorize, Topshop, All Saints and many more! All offering discounts from 10-30% off.

Ok, it wasn't much of a discount but a discount non of the less! They first held this event last year which must have been successful or they wouldn't have done it again. 

Some friends went last year and from some of the stories I heard, I was expecting it to be manic, women pulling a leg each of the last pair of jeans in a certain size, shoes flying all over, grabbing clothes from everywhere like in the movies? 

But it really wasn't.

Plenty of students did turn up but I thought there would be a lot more than there actually was. Most of the main stores were busy like River Island and Topshop, you just seen boyfriends sitting in the corner with bags full or literally following their girls around holding hangers. In every shop, we waited about 20-30 minutes in each queue. 

I only bought a few things as I really couldn't be bothered to keep hunting around and getting barged into every two seconds.

 The hat is from River Island was £10 to £8. My friend persuaded me to buy I'm still a little unsure if it suits me or not. It's a tad too big at the back.

The Cross vest is from New Look Inspire which was £12.99 to £8.75 I think. I couldn't be bothered to try anything on so when I came home I found the 18 a bit too tight so I went back the next day and got a 22. The baggier then better I think.

I did buy a dress from Dorothy Perkins, but when I got home it was the wrong size as it was on the wrong hanger. So annoying when that happens!

To be honest I was buying for buying sake really, poor bank.

Also on a different day I bought a much need Organiser.

I really do have a thing for Union Jacks =)

 This was £11 from Paperchase. I love the pockets inside.

I think that's my procrastination done for the day, I have copious amounts of assignments to do as I've just started my level 3 on top of my already level 4 in childcare, bit backwards but hey, ho! 

With Love,

Top Ten #7 - Bags

One thing that's been constant in my life is my love for bags! For as long as I can remember I've been buying them though I haven't needed them. I remember pinching my mams bag and putting my dolly (Peggy) in.

1. Macy's, This was the first thing I bought for myself in New York last year for $20. I love using it in the Summer as you can its glittery!!
2. My everyday bag which I bought not too long ago from Dorothy Perkins. It's big enough to fit everything in. The straps don't wear and tear which is a bonus. This was £28 worth every penny!
3. This one I posted about here.
4. I LOVE this bag but I've never used it. Each time I go into Harrods I buy something just to show I've been in like the Macy's bag. The first time I got a key ring, the next I got this for £20.
5. Paul's Boutique, I got this for Christmas a couple of years back (the year were everyone had them) I picked a different bag but they were sold out so I got this one. Its so big! I wore this quite a lot so the handles are starting to come off. So I hardly use it now.
6. Another Paul's Boutique, this was a surprise present off my dad. As I mentioned about the straps on the previous one.
7. Every time I went into Accessorize I'd always stare at the bags, they have a beautiful collection. I love the Union Jack print, any time I had money there was also something I needed more. Then for my 18th the postman knocked on the door with this from York off Kate, little did I know she'd been saving to get me it
<3.
8. Diesel, I got in Egypt at the Duty Free I needed to get rid of my money, so I bought this. It was 360EGP which is about £40.
9. I can't remember the price of this one as I've had it for a few years but it is from Primark. I take it on holiday as my beach bag.
10. Another bag from Primark, I usually take this out to town drinking or to a concert. This was £6 reduced to £4.

A bientôt, M! xo

Call me maybe?

 Hello!!

I've spent the day in town with my friend Yasmin.

First of all we went to New Look her favourite shop where I bought a lovely Red Aztec Vest and a Cream Yarn Cardigan which was in the sale. Oh and I bought a pair of really cute floral sunglasses.

For a while I've been looking for an over the shoulder bag as my current one is wearing away, so I quickly popped in to Dorothy Perkins and bought a lovely Tan Foldover bag. Before heading to see The Hunger Games again we grabbed a quick bite to eat from Starbucks along with a Signature Hot Chocolate yum!!

I've dyed my hair red! It's like a reddy brown chestnut colour. I've wanted to dye it for so long as I can't remember the last time I did. All I need to do now it get my hair cut.

Also, I've updated my Itunes here are some pretty awesome songs that I'm totally LOV'IN.

-

Labrinth - Last Time (Brilliant artist such a creative producer)

Beyonce - End Of Time (She is the definition of WOMAN)

Jason Mraz - I Won't Give Up. (I can fall asleep to his voice)

Taylor Swift ft. The Civil Wars - Safe & Sound (Since I know its from The Hunger Games I love it even more)

Jessie J ft. David Guetta - Laserlight (Love Jessie!)

Walk The Moon - Anna Sun (I want to party like these, AWESOME band)

Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe. I had to post this video as I think pretty much every girl/guy has gone through this. It's hilarious.

A bientôt!
