Shop till you drop!

Found my new favourite website http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/
#notonthehighstreet.com
LOVE their products, might even buy some Christmas presents off there!
My favourite section is the clothing though, some is really expensive, but there's quite a bit at reasonable prices, like the dip hem dress, available in 5 colours and in sizes 8-14. It's £15 and made by designer Jolie Moi. I love the intricate design on the back, such a nice effect!


My second favourite is the 'rael & pappie88' sweatshirt. I love baggy jumpers and this is so vintage/retro, with just a splash of colour. To be honest, it's quite expensive but for £29 you'd be assured of the quality (and you could be almost certain that no-one would have the same one!)






Howeverrrrrrr, I am still a high street kind of gal and shopping in town recently, there's so many lovely winter items in the shops at the moment! I have a friends birthday dinner coming up for her 15th and it took me so long to decide what to buy to wear! I started off in New Look and although they had some nice things in, I knew what I was looking for and I just couldn't find it in there! 
I went into Select Fashion and I found about 6 items I liked just when I walked through the door! I ended up trying on a burgundy knee length skirt with a black top and vice versa. But you know when you are just having one of those days when nothing looks right? Yeah that was one of those days unfortunately! But then Mum was to the rescue... (shhh) but she managed to find the nicest top and then I matched it to the gorgeous white top I'd found earlier-L.O.V.E!!! I'm planning to have my hair really curly and volumised, so the products that I'll use are Frizz-Ease Bouncy Curls Spray, which is really good and makes your hair stay up and not go flat! It's really handy as it fits in a bag too, so you can re-enhance it whenever!! 

This is £2.59 from Superdrug and an amazing buy, love it!


So now I just need the accessories, hmmm... The search is on, so if you've got any tips for shops or websites that you think would be good, let me know!! Sorry if I don't post for a few days- I've got 4 shows coming up and it's my 15th birthday tomorrow! Stick with me though people:-)

Fighting for the limelight?

So, we've all heard the endless stories on Kris Jenner's recent marriage failure, her daughter Kim's engagement to rapper Kanye West and Khloe's split from Lamar Odom. They're never out of the press' attention really, for whatever reasons! But there's certain members of the family who aren't all glitz and glam and prefer not to take all the attention that could be given to them. One of these is Leah Jenner, married to Brandon Jenner (Bruce's son from a previous marriage). Leah is a future star, but won't be 'famous for being famous' like some people believe the Kardashian's are. No, Leah has an amazing voice and has worked her way up, her and Brandon aren't yet signed, but there's no doubt that they will be soon. I've listened to all the songs on their EP (Croonies) several times over and it's definitley a 5 star album, there's a mix of different genres and Leah's vocals are flawless! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kyz6RiU6YQQ (My favourite off the album, such a happy song!)

Watching them both in Keeping Up With The Kardashian's is such an eye opener! There's an episode where Leah invites Kim over and wants her to come without make-up, her hair up and invites her to do a yoga class with her! I think she's someone that a lot of people my age would find a good role model, especially if they're into music- the music is really different and not in the charts(yet) but I love it and definitely recommend it 100%! So go and take a listen, and watch the video too, it's so cleverly made and fits with the lyrics so well!


So this was my first blog, my next one will hopefully be something to do with fashion, as that's something I'm interested in too- so watch this space!:-) if anyone's got any suggestions for improvements, let me know in the comments or on facebook, my page is.. https://www.facebook.com/justasmalltowngirlblog
