IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!

Tis my birthday today!!! 

I have been a very lucky girl already, my family took me out for an indian meal when I was at home on Tuesday and gave me my presents. So excited! Me and Jon are off to London on Monday for a night and to see STOMP the show. Yay! Lucky me!! 

Jon is taking me to get a new pair of Ruby Shoo's tomorrow as my birthday gift, as I love the new summer collection!! AGMeek is the only place around that sells them, so I get to go try them on and decide which pair I want.

I am having a few peeps over tonight for a little party, so will possibly have some pics from that after the weekend, but for now here are a few pictures of my last few birthdays! You can see how much I have changed (not a huge amount really!

Outfit Post - A Cowgirl Twist!

It was our works staff do last week and we went to a great place called the Hang Fire Grill which takes place in The Canadian pub in Splott every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. So to honour the event we decided to dress up with a Western Theme. So here is my take on a modern cowgirl outfit.

 Dress: Converse

Shirt: Spy Denim Menswear

Tights: Random from TKMaxx

Shoes: Ruby Shoo via Ebay

Necklace and Ring: via Etsy

 I didn't have a cowboy hat so I figured bunches would have to do.

 I thought the heart print tights would add a bit of extra fun to the outfit and I don't have cowboy boots but I had just bought these Ruby Shoo denim shoes on eBay and they needed some breaking in, so I thought they would be perfect for this outfit. I managed to get them at a bargain price, they usually sell for £40-£45 new and I got these for £11 on eBay and they are practically new, barely worn on the sole at all.

 And to finish the outfit off some fitting jewellery for the outfit, my stag skull ring and bulls head necklace! Love them lots!

So what do you think, did I manage to look Western enough?

Have you done any fun fancy dress recently?

Outfit Post - A moment of sunlight

A little outfit post for you all. This is the cute little butterfly dress I managed to score at TKMaxx in the sale. We actually had a few odd days of decent sunshine last week so I thought it would be the perfect occasion to wear my little sundress.

 You actually have a few shots of me wearing my specs, which I don't often do on the blog.

Dress: Lili via TKMaxx

Shoes: M&S

Glasses: Osiris

Earrings: Stella & Dot

Watch: Vivienne Westwood

Beauty Review - Arran Aromatics Lavender and Lemongrass Shampoo

This is another review of a sample I picked up a few months ago while I was staying in a cute little cottage in Scotland. This is the Lavender and Lemongrass Shampoo from Arran Aromatics. 

Arran Aromatics £9

The combination of the two scents sounded great but in reality it smelt more like the old fashion Dove or Palmolive soap my grandma used to have. That fresh but plain soapy smell. It's like neither scent was strong enough to actually smell it and they ended up cancelling each other out. It wasn't really to my taste in all honesty. But it lathered pretty well so I didn't need to use a huge amount of it to cover all my hair with soap suds. 

After washing my hair it was really knotted, more than usual when I don't use a conditioner (I only use it every 3 or 4 washes or it gets greasy). However, after getting all the knots out and drying my hair it was actually really shiny and soft, it was as if I had used my high shine conditioner or an expensive shampoo. I can definitely overlook the not great smell and the knots to get the silky end result I currently have. So overall I would say it is totally worth the price and I wish I had a bigger bottle of it!

Has anyone else tired Arran Aromatics products before?

Anyone else had a surprising result from a shampoo?
