Fat Bottomed Girls You Make The Rocking World Go Round.



Dress: Primark♥ Headband: New Look♥

Hi everyone! I hope you're all ok, I'm knackered! I've been really stressed out these past couple of weeks, and it affects my sleep a lot which has led me to trying out lots of different methods to help me get some sleep. So far I can confirm that Night Nurse and Kalms do absolutely nothing to help me get some sleep, sometimes Sominex works and sometimes it doesn't, it's really frustrating! I've also bought some Lush bath stuff in hopes that they will help a little bit, so far I've only used Ikkle Baby Bot ballistic and a bit of Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds bubble bar, and those in conjunction with wine and Sominex worked a treat! Although I'm guessing the wine played the biggest part in me getting a good nights sleep haha, the last time I had a really good sleep was after a night out when I slept from about 2 til 10 in the morning, which is really good for me as I'm an early bird! If you guys have any tips of getting a good's nights sleep please let me know, it'll be really helpful!

Anyway onto my outfit, this dress is about 3 years old I think! And it's from Primark so it's lasted realllllly well! You can't see my necklace to well in these pictures, but it's actually a black rosary necklace with a cameo of Christopher Lee in his role of Dracula on it! I love it, I love all the old Hammer Horror films, and I definately know nobody else will have it either! I also did my nails last night which I'm ridiculously proud of, you'll see those and a close up of my Sherlock Holmes ring below :)

I used Nails Inc Stables Market as my base (good to go in one coat, I love that polish!), then W7 Black for the leopard print, and for the roses Collection 2000 Hot Looks in Ninja for the leaves and Hoola Hoop for the roses, and also Natural Collection Hibiscus for the roses too :)

Hope you all get a good night's sleep!

Mmmm...Topshop.

Yes, it's another Topshop wishlist, but I love it! I think everyone loves Topshop to be honest ;) it's just a little filler post while I try and find the time to do some more interesting posts, I'd like to do a what's in my bag post soon, since I carry my whole life in my bag and it'll be interesting to see what's actually in it!


1. This shirt is so adorable, I love the scalloped peter pan collar and edges and the colour! Oh the colour is beautiful. WANTWANTWANT.
2. I saw this maxi dress today during an English Lit lesson (I'd finished all my work so it was ok!) and fell in love. It's so pretty and flowey, I really want to wear it for my leaver's party, but £75 is a lot especially with 2 birthday's coming up and a holiday and I no longer have a job!
3. I love this dress, so perfect for spring/summer, it's definately something I'd wear a lot, it's soo my style!
4. This skirt and the blue shirt mentioned above would be perfect together! I'd also love it just with a plain white vest and some gladiator sandals.
5. This bag is just pure granny chic. LOVE! It's a holdall, but it doesn't mention sizing on the website, but if it's big enough I may buy this for my holiday, I was planning on taking a huge leather Marc B bag that's known as 'the suitcase' but the zip's broken so I need a new big bag/holdall anyway.
6. This umbrella is ridiculously sweet and cute. I love the fact that's clear too, again I need a new umbrella, I never would normally pay £15 for one, but hopefully it's an investment piece and would last for quite a while, as compared to a £3 one from Primark!

Today's been so odd, earlier me and my Dad's girlfriend, Annette, were sat watching My Super Sweet 16 UK (as you do), when Annette shout's 'LOOK!' and points towards the kitchen door, and a random whippet dog was just stood in the doorway! My dog is such a crap guard dog, she let it walk right in our house! We let it back out on to the street and couldn't figure out how it got in! The fence on our right has a huge panel missing, but there was no way for this dog to get into that garden to come into ours! Then about 5 minutes later another dog appeared in our garden! Turns out they were getting in through a tiny gap in our fence, but it was soo funny and weird! I guess you had to be there :')
Has anything odd happened to you today? Any dogs appeared in your kitchens!? Or do you just want something from Topshop?

P.S! In case you haven't already, you should all check out Pearl's new online vintage shop! The price's are soo afforadable and there's some gorgeous pieces, I've got my eye on the pink corsage dress!

Kiss me you animal.



Shirt: Primark♥ Vest top: Topshop♥ Shorts: Zara♥

This is what I wore on Monday, none of my outfits have been interesting since then haha. I felt very Katy Perry in her 'One Of The Boys'days, I think she looked a lot better then personally. Speaking of which, I just downloaded her new album and from the bits I've heard it's terrible. It's such a shame, I really used to love her! She was such a style icon to me back then, I still look over her old pictures for inspiration from time to time.



Anyway, I must stop procrastining and finish off this essay, that isn't even the right essay I should be doing but I'm stupidly tired and I don't care!

Talking To The Moon



Dress: ASOS♥ Tights: Primark♥ Headband: Miss Selfridge♥

This is what I wore today to go for Starbucks and a natter with my best friend, I was soo excited to go because she passed her driving test this week (passed first time!) and she got to drive us to the shopping center is her car! It was soo exciting, I was proper proud of her! She has a ridiculously cute Fiat 500, I love it! I really need to learn how to drive, I've not even had any lessons!

I really like this ASOS dress, it's described as Fair Isle on the website, but to me it looks a lot more like a 70's print? So I think it'll still be ok to wear in the summer too. I also found a holy grail clothing item that I reallly reallllly need for summer today in H&M, some black cycle shorts! Although I didn't get them today due to lack of funds, I'm so happy I now know where to get some from! They come in black and grey with lace round the bottom of the legholes and I think they were 6.99, so you can't really go wrong! They'll be great under summer dresses, less chance of accidentally flashing someone! I was going to DIY a pair, but hemming a pair of leggings by hand would just take forever and only end up looking crap!

How did you guys spend your Sunday?

Truffle Shuffle: Offically Retro. Totally Awesome.

Hi guys! Sorry I've not posted in a while, it's been such an odd week, what with exam results on Thursday, the whole school's been on edge and when they got the results on Wednesday, we could tell that some of the teacher's were less than impressed! Ah well, there's always re-sits in June!

Anyway, today's post is about a website that I absolutely love! Truffle Shuffle has got one of the biggest ranges of t shirts I've ever seen, for men, women and children! They have a massive variety to choose from, you browse and shop via genre which includes TV shows, Movies, Cartoons, Music, Games and Toys, Fairytales, Classic Brands, Icons and then Everything Else, and these catergories, especially TV and Cartoons, go wayyyy back. Just some of the childhood charecters you'll see on this website includes (just to name a few!) The Wombles, The Smurfs, The Poddington Peas,Button Moon, Bananaman and The Care Bears. It's also a host to lots of comic book charecters such as Wonder Woman (a personal fave of mine), Superman and Captain America. Other iconic images include Barbie, Hello Kitty, Minnie Mouse, Marilyn Monroe and rock legends such as The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix and David Bowie. There really is something for everyone on this site, and it doesn't stop at t shirts, they have bags, pj's, fancy dress outfits, hats, headphones, jewellery and sunglasses. If you're a Disney Couture fan, they have 33 pieces for you to choose from. Not only is it a personal favourite of mine, but it's also a favourite for celebrities such as Mollie King and Una Healy from The Saturdays, Marina and The Diamonds, Noel Fielding (♥), Ashlee Tisdale, Jaime Winstone, Audrina Partridge and loads more! (to see the full list click here)

So here's a few favourite things from Truffle Shuffle that I've currently been lusting over, and believe me I could have gone mental with this Wish List...

(Yes, this is just a few!;) )
1. This Oscar the Grouch hat is so cute and funny, I really wish I'd had it this winter to keep my head warm! It also comes in a Cookie Monster and Elmo design for those of you who aren't grouches like Oscar and me!
2. Bananaman was always one of my most loved cartoons when I was little, even though Dr Gloom really did scare me! It's also voiced by the men who did The Goodies (Bill Oddie, Tim Brooke-Taylor and Graeme Garden) which I also love. I like how it's set out almost like a boxing match poster.
3. Care Bears! It's adorable. I really liked Love-A-Lot Bear and Tender Heart Bear when I was little, who was your favourite?
4. This t shirt reminds me of Moss from The IT Crowd for some reason?! I can picture me wearing it while swooning over him. (I ♥ Moss!)
5. I love Star Wars humour. I think I'll probably buy this when I get some spare money! God I love this top, it's soo funny :')
6. I'm also a huge Monty Python fan, and Holy Grail is my favourite film of theirs. They have a bigger range of Monty Python merch in the Men's section, which I may have to end up ordering from since this girls one is sold out in every size but Extra Small!
7. The Poddington Peas are another favourite of mine when I was younger, though not many people have heard of it?
8. If you've read my getting to know me post, you'll know I already like Penelope Pitstop and her car, The Compact Pussycat! It's so cute, and I love the flowery/swirly fabric!
9. I love Pink Floyd and vintage band tees in general, and I think this would be great for just chucking on with a floral skirt for these in between months. I do think for 55 quid is a bit much for a jumper though, but I love it anyway.
10. The back of this top is soo cool! They never did manage to take over the world though :(
11. They're R2-D2 headphones. There's no need for an explanation about why I love these. My friend has the Boba Fett one's and they're amazing too!

That was a long wish list! But it is really hard just to pick a few things from Truffle Shuffle, it's just full of amazing items! Is there anything you want from Truffle Shuffle?

A plea for help!

As you can see, I've been trying to renovate the blog a little bit, but as you can also see, there is a massive white gap at the header, and I have no idea how to get rid of it! I really love this design off Shabby Chic blogs, and would love to use it as my layout, and if someone could help me figure out how to get rid of this I'd be so grateful!
Please help!
