What's on my playlist?

 I've gotta pay homage to Radio 1xtra aka the best station ever! I listen to them everyday and if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have the following songs on repeat!

Katy B - Light as a feather

Duke Dumont ft AME & MNEK - Need U

Disclosure ft Aluna George - White Noise

Bondax - Gold

Jakwob ft Maiday - Fade

Slacking!

Hiya guys, I know I've been abandoning my blog but I've been super busy lately with work and uni! I'm putting together a new fashion and music magazine for my final year project. I wanted to focus on upcoming talent in the UK and I managed to bag an interview with The Du'Montts (Millie and Hope Katana) aka the terrible twins Shona and Rhona from Waterloo Road. These gorgeous sisters are definitely ones to watch this year, they're fresh, edgy and different. Absolutely talented!

Have a listen to their cover of Kevin Michaels We all want the same things! 

As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I've put myself on a shopping ban. It's been 3 weeks so far and this has got to be the longest i've ever gone without shopping! It's easier than i thought....that is until i go into work at lust over all the new arrivals! (that's what you get when you work in H&M)..I've seen so many things I just wanna grab and buy but im resisting temptation :-)

Oh...and i've finally bought my Jillian Michaels 30-day shred dvd (woohoo bring on the weight loss) I've heard so many good reviews on it, so I'll update you guys once i've started it.

How can you not appreciate House music?

You either love it or you hate it and I'd say it's just like marmite. House music is becoming infectious and hopefully one day it'll take over the music scene and everybody will be cutting shapes! The laid back sounds leave you in your own zone and the meaninful lyrics leave you thinking.

Do you know what i love about house music? It gives you the chance to let go completely, the music moves you and your body moves to the will of the rhythm. Whether its deep, minimal, techno or soulful...it's bound to get you moving.

Here's a few of my faves...

Lana Del Rey - Blue Jeans MK Dub

The Martinez Brothers - Too much for me

Cozzy D - Aphrodite

Huxley - Box Clever

Maya Jane Coles - What they say

Ooft! - Yeah (Jay Shepheard remix)

Kim Ann Foxman - Creature 

Julio Bashmore - Au Seve

H&M, Primark, Charity shop haul....

Now this is going to be my last ever haul for a while seeing as I've put myself on a shopping ban (let's hope i can cope...i know i won't!)

1. Black Luigi handbag, £8, Charity shop 

I know we're only in February but this has got to be my best buy of the year! One of my favourite charity shops has got to be All Aboard on West End Lane in Hampstead. I thought i'd pop in and have a browse and this handbag caught my eye! It had a £15 price tag on it but the lovely lady sold it to me for £8! I've been wearing it ever since, get's me quite a few compliments aswell, everyone seems to think it's either from Topshop or Zara! The wonders of a charty shop ay!

2. Pearl gold rimmed earrings, £2, Primark 

Nowadays i hardly wear studs because i live in my cross earrings! But these oversized pearl studs are gorgeous! 

3. Bowler hat, £7.99, H&M 

This is now my second bowler hat from H&M, my first one was abit small so i was happy when i came aross this one! Can't wait to wear it! This sold out really quickly, it's not even on the website!

4. Finger bracelet, £1.50, Primark 

Bargain or what!

5. Fur jacket, £35, H&M

Oh how I love working at H&M, I've been after a fur jacket for a while now and I think I've just found the perfect one! It was originally £70 but my lovely manager sold it to me at £35 plusss with my staff discount I only paid £26.25. KER-CHING! Would have preferred if the sleeves weren't 3/4 length but who am i to complain? ha! 

6. Chiffon sleeve top, £8, Primark 

I've moved from burgundy coloured clothing to grey now, loving the speckled grey look at the moment. I'm contemplating removing the pearl/gold detail on he neckline coz I'm more of a simple girl!

7. Salmon oversized blouse, £5, Charity shop 

This is another buy from All Aboard, they had a £5 rail and I just wanted to buy everything! Now this actually a size 16 but it looks lovely oversized. I might even pair it with a crochet white collar seeing as it's currently collarless.

8. Bottle green midi dress, £14.99, New Look

As you should all know i'm a lover of the midi dress! I was stuck between the green and the burgundy! I've kept the tag on for now, still thinking if I should swap it for the Asos one which has more of a low scoop neck.

9. Oversized blazer, £7, Primark 

I was so in love with this grey speckled blazer that I don't even know the original selling price. All I saw was £7 looking back at me LOL. Wore this to work the other and a customer asked me if it was from Topshop!

10. Striped shirt, £12.99, H&M 

This was on my previous payday wishlist and now it's in my wardrobe! Got this is in a small but it still quite big. Strange.

11. Creepers, £14.95, 4feet 

Finally I own a pair of creepers! WOOHOO! I originally wanted the double platform creepers from eBay but weren't sure on the sizing. Ended up getting a size 5 in these coz the 6 was way to big! They're so comfy! 

12. Grey midi skirt, £7, Primark 

As well as being a lover of the midi dress I'm also a midi skirt fiend. This is quite a popular skirt and I've seen a few fashion bloggers with it aswell. Love it!

13. Lace midi skirt, £3, Primark

Isn't this lush! It originally said £12 on the label, I didn't even know it was on sale so I was chuffed when it went through as £3. WOW!

Oopsy daisy

So I haven't been blogging as much as I should. Sorry guys! I've just been so caught up with my university final year project, my health AND work! I just don't have time for myself anymore. But it's Sunday today which means my day of rest! (well until i have to go to my meeting at work later)....so guess what that means....ill be blogging away until my fingers have had enough.

Oh yeah, from today I have put myself on a shopping ban for a month. I've realised I've been spending unnecessary amounts of money on clothes that I don't need and that just sit in my wardrobe and catch dust. So it's time for me resist temptation and it's gonna be very difficult considering I do work in H&M which is like my favourite shop ever!

Another thing, I've been looking at a few crash diets and ways to lose weight. I've been wanting to try the maple syrup diet but I know it's not good for my health, my friend told me to try the insanity workout but I've decided to go along with the 30-day shred instead. Ive heard good things about it so I hop e it works...along with that I'll be purchasing some green tea. So I'll let you guys know if any of these work.
