OOTD // Monochrome Chic Slays The January Blues!

Evening!!! 

January is almost over!! YAAASSS!!! 

I am hoping to find a job in London A.S.A.P so I can move there!!! I just want to be in a city with more prospects, life and fun, but whilst I am still in the countryside I thought I would take advantage of the scenery and do an OOTD for you lovelies. 

As mentioned in a previous post, I am a massive fan of black and black is my happy colour. I also love to chuck in a white tee now and then to, you know, shake it up a bit!! As you do!! 

I have noticed (as I can't stop looking at him and a little bit addicted) that Harry Styles actually has a similar dress sense to moi. Mainly black skinnies with a white t-shirt and boots. Pretty simple yet highly fashionable, chic and low maintenance. 

I love this look and currently for me, this style and look is completely on point. It stands out but is pretty low key, a lot of contradictions that actually work in your favour. 

This look would work on pretty much anyone male (hence the ref to Hazza) or female so if you haven't already go give it a try. 

Go on, get out of your comfort zone. 

P.S. I will leave a list at the bottom of the post as to what makeup I am wearing and where I got the outfit from.

What I Got For Christmas// And Everything In Between.

"I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCKKKKK!!!!"

Seriously... The last time that I wrote a post on here was in October!! 

I am so sorry that it's been so long, I have literally had no time what-so-ever. I have been either working, cleaning out animals or sleeping! My life is so fun, I know! :) 

Just a little low down of things that have happened whilst I have been away.

Brace yourselves...

Halloween - I didn't go out because I couldn't be bothered to, but I did dress up at home (as you do) and made myself into a evil little creature. RAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!

One of my beloved hamsters Keiko passed away (suddenly I may add) I was and still am really upset about it she was over two & half years old. 

R.I.P 

Bonfire Night - This is when you know Christmas is on its way!! I love Bonfire night and I love taking photos. 

And then we are into December and Christmas has come and gone so quickly. Sadly my other hamster Darla(Keiko's sister) had to be put to sleep after I noticed some symptoms that ended up making her poorly and to lose the use of her back legs. :( It was the hardest decision I have ever had to make as she was well in herself but no longer had a good quality of life. Darla and Keeks were the best hamsters in the world. I miss them dearly, especially as this was my first Christmas for 2 years without them. :(

R.I.P 

So these were the main events that happened since I last posted something. 

I have done a lot of shopping :) which of course is my favourite thing to do and over the Christmas period, I spent A LOT of money on presents and food. But who cares?! It happens once a year, so why not indulge, right? 

I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas and got everything that they wanted?! 

Christmas seems to creep up so quickly these days, I don't know whether it is because I am no longer a child and so busy leading up to it, or the fact I get so excited about it in like October/November the novelty wears off by the time it comes?

Who knows?!

I am so sad it's over though, I get soooooo excited and I am literally like the Christmas Fairy, me. I love all the decorations, the films, the music, the smells, the food and being with family and friends. And soon we will be into January, I am not a big fan of the New Year as I have to wait a whole year for Christmas again and it SUCKS!! 

Christmas junkie right here!! :)  

So now for the good stuff... What I got for Christmas. 

As per...

*Disclaimer* This is not a bragging post it is just a haul of gifts in which I received on Christmas Day. I love seeing what other people have got at Christmas and their birthday's so do not see this post other than a bit of fun. :)

WHAT I GOT FOR CHRISTMAS!!!


I was very spoilt this Christmas.
Well I am every year!
I don't tend to have a 'main' present but lots of little presents as there are lots of things that I am in to. 
Below are the pictures of what I got. I also got some weights but they were too big to put in the picture. 

Again, I am not bragging just showing you what I have had. Let me know what you guys have got too as I would love to know!!

My brother got me the Sensationail Deluxe Gel Nail Kit which I was SUPER excited about as I have wanted it for ages. I am yet to use it but so excited to do so!!! I love everything I got and I also got some vouchers and money off my Aunties and Uncles and my lovely little Nan :) I loved my Makeup Revolution Palettes too and my baby blue bag!! 

I got my first EVER M.A.C product which is the Matte Lipstick in 'Ruby Woo'. I was so excited when I got this and it was hidden all wrapped up on the Christmas Tree. I thought that was a nice little touch!! 

I got lots of sweets and chocolate too which is great as I love my sugar me!! My stocking was filled with cool little things. I love a stocking. 

This is what I wore Christmas Day. Good old disco pants and the OTT Christmas Jumper. Mine sings btw! :) 

I bought this sterling silver ring for myself as I am starting to collect them as I am sick of my fingers going green from the cheap ones. I fell in love with the blue and got it from a little shop in Debenhams. :) 


I didn't take any pictures of our meal because, one I really don't like roast dinners so I literally had the most pathetic amount on my plate. It wasn't worth documenting. And two... The day went real quick and I completely forgot to take any more pictures. 


BOXING DAY.


I don't usually go out on Boxing Day as usually we have family over, but because my mum has had this flu thing (which I do NOT want by the way)we didn't want to risk anyone else getting it. 

So, me and brother Hutt went out into Worcester and hit the sales. 

Let me just add... The sales were APPALLING!!! It was like everyone had demolished the shelves as if the world were ending. A LOT of the things I wanted to get had sold out. I wanted the No7 Rose Gold tinned eyeshadow palette and I cannot get that anywhere. A Duster Coat which had sold out too and the Real Techniques Eye Brush Set. 

ALL GONE. GRRR.

I managed to pick this lot up though. :) 

I bought some very warm and comfy PJ's from Primarni which I have had my eye on but I need to take the top back as it doesn't fit right. Also I bought, a black fluffy cardi which is super soft and I love it, The Heat DVD as I really liked that film, The Hunger Games & Catching Fire DVD set as I have never watched it but Gabby (VelvetGh0st) has raved about it so I thought I would give it a watch. I got a couple of sterling silver rings in the Accessorize sale, some makeup and hair stuff and some nail stuff to go with my kit. 

A River Island Purse (not in sale) 

Ear Cuffs (not in sale) 

A light pink version of my black cardi.

New Look Bag. I thought this was full price at £29 but when I got it to the till it came up as £17. Score. 

And finally, some more stuff my my Sensationail kit. 


All in all I did pretty well for Christmas with both presents and what I bought myself. 

Totally spoilt. 

Some people got Apple Mac's or DSLR's which I would of LOVED to have got but I am SO happy with everything I received off the people I love. It's not about what is spent on you but the effort and thought behind it all. And most importantly Christmas isn't all about presents and food but what Christmas really represents and the beauty of having your loved one's around you. 

Some people aren't lucky enough to even have that. 

Again I hope y'all had an amazing time no matter what you did and I would like to wish you a Happy New Year!!! 

Thanks to all of you who have read my blog or subscribed and continued to look at my blog even though I haven't posted for a while.  

  I am really grateful. 

Peace & Love for 2015
