New Look

Love's Sweet Exile

By Gem - 18:30:00

Thank the lord it is pay day! January has been a very long month and I've done loads of sales shopping and booked loads of trips away, skint is an understatement. Rail tickets are so expensive. I will be going to Manchester for the Easter weekend, I had the best time ever when I went there a couple of years ago so I'm really looking forward to it. I'm thinking of popping to a few galleries and museums and of course a big night at a club that plays loads of The Smiths and Stone Roses. Got any Manchester recommendations for me?

Anyway, here are some of my sales buys-


Wore this dress to work

Dress, Shoes, Cardigan: New Look
Belt: Dorothy Perkins



Wore this to meet up with friends for lunch and to see War Horse
Dress & shoes: New Look
Bag: Charity shop
Belt: Dorothy Perkins


I ended up buying the lace dress from this post in the ASOS sale for about £20 and I wore it out this Saturday. I would love to think I looked very chic but I had way too much sambuca to be lady like. Good night out though ;) I got the Revlon lipstick that Lily mentioned, I love my Topshop Brighton Rock lipstick but it is so bright. This is a great shade and isn't too harsh, well worth £2.99.

How was your January and what exciting things have you got planned for Feb? I will be heading to Plus London Two on Saturday, any of you going?

      Yes! I think I commented on one of your posts the other day saying that I had worn a very 'you' outfit and this is the one I was on about. Red, black and blue :)

    Looking lovely as always, I especially love the red dress and black bag in the second picture! I wish I knew of a club that played a lot of 'The Smiths' and 'The Stone Roses', I can never find such places! Perhaps I'm looking hard enough *shrugs*. My January was okay, I'm hoping my February will be insanely satisfying since my boyfriend and I are taking a road trip to Florida! Yay for sambuca nights!

    I love that red dress, so pretty. The Revlon lipstick is such a nice colour and really suits you, might have to order some for myself!
    My Saturday night involved way too much sambuca too haha, I'd like to think I started out the evening looking classy but I definitely didn't by the end!
