Want...

Call me a little bit crazy, I know it's august but I am still lusting over all things a/w. I've already bought an amazing thick knit jumper from Primark (picture to follow when I have my camera back and working again...) and two new pairs of boots including these baby's from Topshop that I got off ebay for a bargain. So added to my a/w wish list is this....
Balenciaga Dog Jumper- £525.
...I know, I know I am dreaming with a price tag of £525 but there's just something about this jumper I really like...I think as it's verging on the edge of cool and utterly tacky. I'm not a dog owner myself, (I wish I was) but I love it. Infact I think a whole range of jumpers should be brought out with a whole range of pedigree's to choose from.*

*I am aware this range is most probably available for very cheap down some market...if anyone has any leads, hit me up, tar. xx

Boots.

Ok so yes, it's august and we are in the height of 'summer' (all be it a very dismal English one..) but I have the biggest craving for boots at the moment, every store I go to I'm drawn to them...Hurry up winter so I  can justify buying so many pairs of boots. I've already purchased these from Asos and I have been living in them but I need more. I think I have an addiction to ankle boots and my addition is not helped in the slightest by how many gorgeous pairs there are out there at the moment. Here's just a taster of my massive wishlist....

Recent Purchases- Forever 21

1. Basic Skinny Jeans £8.75 2.Chiffon Floral Skirt £12.75

A few years ago when I was in California I came across a 'Forever 21' store and I loved it, It was so cheap I got a gorgeous tartan dress that is one of my go-to favourites but I'd totally forgot about it's existence until I heard it was coming to the UK, The first store opened in Birmingham and now finally they've opened a beautiful new store just outside of Bond Street station. With blogger Bip Ling in all their adverts (she is the brands 'style ambassador') I got all excited about the opening and the store didn't disappoint- It's full of treats and really cheap, I'd say it was somewhere in between H&M, New Look andTopshop, with the prices more like Primark  ( but a totally less hellish experience!!). The visual merchandising and feel of the stores really nice, the styling of the mannequins is great but the only thing I would say is I'd see something I liked on a mannequin but finding the item was impossible as it would be no where near the display, there was one dress I saw that I liked, searched for it for ages and eventually found it on a totally different floor (my time as a visual merchandiser for Miss Selfridge have taught me that is a big no no!!) other than that though it really is great. I overheard one of the sales assistants say to a customer that they only stock 65 of each item in the whole of the country which, if that's true, makes me like the store even more as it makes you feel like you're picking up something a little bit more unique and special than the majority of the mass produced stuff you get on the high street. I only picked up these two things (believe me I had to stop myself from getting more but my poverty funds at the moment wouldn't let me!) but I will be going back once payday (finally) comes.

Recommended.

I dip died/ombred my hair for the first time a few months ago and have been re-doing it every so often. I really like my hair at the moment colour wise but dying it was literally turning it into yellow straw (not such a great look) so I had a little look around for some deep moisturising treatment and picked up the VO5 Moisture soak Hot Oil and was so impressed with the result. It's not that expensive either I got a pack of 4 treatments for something like £3.50 from Boots  and it is so easy to use. You just place one tube in a cup of hot water to warm up the oil then in the shower you just rub it into all of your hair and leave it for a minute or two..then afterwards you just have to make sure you wash it completely  out of your hair otherwise if it's left on you get a nasty greasy head. You just wash and condition your hair as normal and style as you would normally. The results are so good, my hair was really soft and back to it's former condition before I wrecked it with dye and it only takes a few minutes worth of treatment. I was very very chuffed. I just use it every couple of weeks or so when my hairs feeling a bit rough.
I definitely recommend it if your hair is feeling a bit poorly.
