Happy new year!!! What's everyone doing to celebrate? Tonight I'm going out for a meal but today I decided to pop into town to check out the local charity shops. I got some real awesome bargains! I brought a strawberry thick knit jumper that I'm sure I'll be wearing all March, a thin short sleeved white dainty pattern knit top and a large lace doll collared blouse that I'm planning to wear this s/s as a swing coat over my summer dresses. I also brought a handy black croc style patterned purse for my nights out at my normal purse is too huge to fit in my little party bags. I popped into New Look on my trip and brought an owl clock necklace, a white bandanna turban headband and a bird clasp belt. Over all a very successful and cheap shopping trip, now that's how you bring the new year in in style!

If anyone is interested the lip colour I'm wearing is wine from Bloom's lip stain range.  I hate wearing lipstick as I get paranoid it's going to go all over the place and on my teeth so lip stains are an easier stress free option for me. I'm absolutely in love with Bloom cosmetics and have all but one of their lip stains that look like felt tip pens. I have a couple of their nail varnishes that I enjoy wearing but I'm awful at remembering to apply it. I've only just learnt Max Factor have recently brought out some lip stain pens so I'll be all over those as soon as I spy them in Boots.



I'd just like to finish this post with a special Thank You to everyone who has visited, read, commented or followed my blog. I started this blog in early 2010 whilst I was in my last year and second to last term at uni. All the support I received from your lovely comments and useful advice helped keep my motivation up during the last stretch of my degree. I hope you'll continue to visit in 2011 as I promise to keep it updated and visually exciting as a new years resolution!

Hope you all have a brilliant, marvelous and incredibly happy new year!
