All things LUSH...

Here are a few things I've purchased recently... there's more I just cant find them right now to snap them...
But I'll do a post on them another time :)

So, I've always been quite put off from the shop LUSH becase everytime I walk past I get this whooosh of smellyness and I'm like.. "PHWOAR... that shits giving me a headache" BUT I thought i'd go in today to get some massage/muscle rub for my boyfriend whos got a realy bad back at the mo... Found myself staying in the shop for fridging a wholeeee hour!!!!!! The girl serving me was soo nice and because I have eczema, she introduced all this stuff to me....
I did end up buying stuff but she gave me loooads of free samples to try out :') 
I bought the THERAPY massage block and the dream steam she gave me samples of Ultrabland, Dream Cream and celestial...
Went along to Miss Selfridge today, not really a shop I tend to go into alot but I like looking at their jewellry in the sale... picked up these two headbands... they were originally £8.50 each but I got them for £1 each and it was buy one get one half price aswell... OOOH YEAH love a bit o' bargain hunting!
Topshop at the minute have a really good jewellry sale on.. I don't really justify paying that much for their jewellery but when the sale comes..... :D 
These two pairs of earrings were both half price so the first pair was £2 and second was £4.25 but I got 10% off ontop being a student and all.... ;) I lovee both of them... the top pair have a really cute moonshine to them and the second pair.. well.... theyre just MASSIVE!
Got these cool nail wrap from New look but they sell them everywhere recently like boots, topshop superdrug etc.... I payed just under £5 for them they're actually £5.99 but New look had a 20% off discount. These specific ones require heat to put them on... but when I ripped em off... it took a layer of my nail off i think... hmm not cool? :/ 
Here they are in action...
Also when I was in New look, I got these pair of shoes... yeah yeah I copied my sister, but we do have a lot of the same things and she lives all the way in Cardiff.... They were £19.99 but with 20% off I payed about £15.99 or something? which is reaaally good for a pair of heels and they go with almost anything!
Last but not least I got this full skirted skirt from Topshop... I just cant get enough of it!! I wear it all the time now with my two tone "suspender tights" and my black wedges... Ok this picture does not justify it or its colour... Its like a red wine colour in real life... I LOVE IT! :) It was £30.... but I payed £24 because of the good ol' student discount and they were giving 20% off... :):) happy days...
SO... there you are, a mighty long post! Let me know what you think and stuff and post a link to your "recent buys" or something or just anything really... I enjoy reading other people's blogs :) 

ciao for now... :)

You spin me right round baby right round like a record baby... DIY earring holder...



HELLOOOO THERE FELLOW BLOGGERS...

This is my first, if you like, crafty kinda post...
But I thought I'd do this post anyway.. I'm saying post too many times...
Anyway one day in art I got rather bored and decided to make this beast of an earring holder as there was loads of records around. You can get these anywhere for really cheap.... I know oxfam do them, and a lot of charity shops do... 
I always always always always lose earrings then I end up with odd ones... and it's just not cool.... but do not fear... Here is the solution to solve this problem!

Step 1: take your vinyl record and drill lots and lots of holes in it...try get them in line...
Step 2: Heat the record somehow using preferably a strip heater, but if not try a curling tong, straightener, iron... anything will melt this... you can even put it in the oven... but the whole thing would be melty..
Step 3: Bend the record according to how you want it to stand up....

TA DA!!!
You now have yourself an earring holder... (hopefully)

(sorry if you don't care) :D
