This months top non food purchases

This month a large amount of my money has been spent on food and dinners out, so these are the things that i bought that I didn't eat! 

I am leaving school next month and leavers day is creeping near! So last weekend I decided that it was time to get my whole outfit sorted! I went up to Canterbury with my mum to find my dress and stop off for a little cafe rouge along the way, yum! These are my almighty shoes and i'm in love with them. Being a mint coloured espadrille wedge lets just hope I can walk in them! They match perfectly with my dress that i've gotten but nothing else is going to be revealed till the day! Look out for photos in the next few weeks... Also available on the Deichmann website, so click HERE for these bargain wedges.

I normally stick to the same body spray but I thought to mix it up a little now springs here because my regular Impulse tease was starting to bore me. Being a really fruity nice sweet smelling body fragrance. I swear I'm probably the only one that goes into great thought about which everyday body spray to use...Anyway available pretty much anywhere (like local drugstore or supermarket) or HERE if you're in dire need to get it this second.

Over the month I've obtained various beads and i'm in love with them! I personally put them a few at a time in my hair (photos can be found on My Instagram.) Mainly coming from my local haberdashery, you can buy the skull beads HERE off etsy, so anyone can make jewelry with them or use them however they wish!

My last but most definitely not least Item this month are... my multicoloured stained glass earrings! These were given to me as a gift and I'm totally in love with them. Changing colour depending on the light, they're elegant and can make any outfit look fancier. Similar ones available off etsy HERE, or a necklace version instead HERE.

Cheese on Toast. Nom.

Today I'm here to help you on a really serious matter. Cheese on toast! I am a total freak when it comes down to cheese on toast, so I think it's time that you become one too. Here are three twists to the classic cheese on toasts, that you'd be mad not to try... 

My top 3 'Adventurous' Cheese Toasts:

1.) Classically Red:
This is your average Cheese toasty but instead of a normal Cheddar use a red cheese instead, then finely chop up tomatoes and sprinkle. The mouth watering blend of melted cheese with crisp toast and oozing with flavour and toasted flavoursome tomato...Now I'm hungry.

2.) Cranberry Craver:
 If you like Cranberries this is a must munch! I find that my fridge is always left with wild cheeses, at the second, to my delight Cranberry Stilton. To make the perfect 'Cranberry Craver' I recommend adding onto a buttered slice of toast a mix of Cheddar and Cranberry Stilton. For bursting flavors of Cranberry add Cranberry sauce (The stuff you have with Turkey) to the base of your toast (you can use this instead of butter.) LUSH!
To go the extra mile why not try putting in some cooked bacon? Nom...

3.) Tomato and balsamic vinegar Toasty:
Opposed to the regular tomato and cheese toasty, add on some balsamic vinegar to make an italian feast for a snack. It gives a rich taste that blends with the melted cheese that's perfect for any foodie. To make it look that little bit more appetizing, sprinkle some spicy rocket that gives it a delicious kick at the end. Go on, try it? 


I hope this has made you hungry because it has most definitely made me!

A Decorative Peplum Matter

Todays Item of choice is the almighty Peplum top. Creating a brilliant figure and being spot on trend for this season. However as I've got a heap load of homework I've decided to keep it down to the tip top Three. 



Bright And Cheery: 

Although outside my window at the moment the weathers not bright and cheery I thought, why not start with the spring blaster? Great for a casual day out or possibly paired with a pencil skirt for a more formal day?Also this beautiful top is a bargain too being only £12... I'd advise you to grab one soon, before they're all gone! Link for the glorious top 


Girly Spotted:

This little number is lovely. Being very simple yet eye catching, it has got to be my favourite of the three. On sale currently for only £18, I'd say buy buy buy it now! Here's a link to the gem!


Owl Peplum Perhaps?: 

I've never myself been a huge fan of the cute owls on clothes trend, however when I saw this one I thought a little different. Being very basic in good old monochrome, this top is a bargain for just under £10. Heres the place to clickety click

4 Indie Rock Bands you should be listening to

I know I haven't posted for two weeks so I thought I should start March well and get back into posting frequently. So for today it's about 4 bands if not already, you should be listening to.

Peace
I went and saw them live last weekend at the NME Awards tour in London. They're a indie rock band and they also have a new album called 'In Love' Coming out on the 25th of this month... Definitely worth pre-ordering if you ask me... 

Best Song: Bloodshake (On EP Delicious)



A band that's in my must see list, having a southern Californian vibe to them making cracking tunes that are a must listen. Having 2 albums with 'Here' being released last May... 

Best Song: Man On Fire (On 'Here' Album)

 

Only Recently discovering them, they're a really chilled band that you can listen to in any mood. Only having EP's are a real shame but hopefully an album will be out soon (Fingers crossed) 

Best Song:  For All We Know (On For All We Know EP) 



Their new album 'Cannibals With Cutlery' was released on the 24th of Feb this year. It's totally worth buying and I'd recommend it to anyone.. 
My Crooked Saint - EP Free to download here...

Best song: Cold Skin (On Cannibals With Cutlery)

P.s: Any other suggestions to new music would be greatly appreciated, so comment them!

Top 3 girl crushes

I thought it was about time to show off the top 3 people that I aspire to, as who we look up to plays a huge role on the self that we are. So without another second wasted here are my top 3 girl crushes (in no particular order)

Alexa Chung:




Who doesn't have a girl crush on Alexa Chung? Seriously... Always looking stunning and never having a bad wardrobe day, I think that this girl crush is most definitely justified! Also having dated the legendary Alex Turner the envy of her just increases and increases!




Gillian Zinser:


This came about via 90210 where I loved her playing the role of Ivy, then after a little Tumblr searching of her I discovered that she had her own Tumblr, that I absolutely now adore! Always having really good tunes and funky pictures, it is the type of classy Tumblr I ought to aspire too. Click here for Gillians Tumblr




Fearne Cotton:



Fearne, Fearne, Fearne, what can I say? Well she's utterly cool and makes Radio1 even more worth listening to. Also dead stylish, even now she's expecting a baby! Having a great sense in music, I just can't get enough!






Although only a short inside post to my top 3 girl crushes I hope you enjoyed!
