OOTD - Pastel Pink, Operations & Uni lessons.


I've realized that I a) need a tripod after todays trials and tribulations with an outfit post and a large camera - mirror shots do NOT work, so excuse this shabby webcam shot! my flatmate Luke has kindly agreed to take the rest of my OOTD posts so they will be MUCH better quality in the future and b) need a external hard drive as i was severely 'slapped on the wrists' about needing an external hard drive as a photography student - excuse me while i just magically find £100..

Jumper £19.99 H&M
Jeans £19.99 Newlook
Daisy Pendant Necklace £2 Peacocks sale
Black Faux Chelsea Boots £14.99 F&F
Pleather and jersey panelled biker jacket £49.99 Miss Selfridge
Lipstick Barry M in 'Dolly pink' £4.99

Besides my first proper day back at university I finally had my gynecologist appointment today, I've had polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) for just over 2 years now and no matter how many times I went to my GP or got rushed into A&E they never seemed to make any progress with my case - thankfully this changed when I came to Southampton. Next Tuesday (the 31st) I'm having a small operation called a 'Diagnostic Laparoscopy' and then a further 'Ovarian drilling' This first part is the surgeon making two incisions in my lower torso, one above my belly button and the over just on my bikini line (goodbye bikini in the summer months!) they then put a camera in me and try and find out and eliminate the problem. The gyneay also said that she wanted to do Ovarian drilling making small holes in my ovaries to allow and easier and better flowing ovulation. What a nightmare! its a short operation and i'll be under anesthetic, i should be out by the evening - providing I act better to the anesthesia this time - I usually yack when I come round!. I'm also back at the hospital for blood and hormone tests on Friday and then after the op' I've got to have two weeks off uni - and because getting home is a 2 hour drive my mum is going to be living with me in my room at uni for a week. awkward! So big scary stuff for me in the next week! To give you a quick idea this is what will be happening ...

If anyone has PCOS or has had this kind of operation before any comments/help/guidance would be much appreciated! wish me luck ^__^

Sarenza Ambassador Entry


Entering competitions you can't really loose anything so why not!..

Sarenza are currently running a competition to write 300 words on your favourite pair of shoes from Sarenza, If you win you becomea Sarenza Ambassador which means you’ll receive a £150 voucher to spend on shoes EVERY MONTH which you will then review on your blog, as well as the chance to win an extra £50 voucher each month for our ‘Ambassador post of the month’ You can't go wrong really can you!


I adore these Castaluna Mildred L wedges currently with 30% making them £88.70. I absolutely love these shoes - there practical and stylish as hell!. There neutral colouring means they are versatile to be teamed with alot of different items, textures and colour palettes - casual or for a night out. The low wedge rubber heel means they would be comfortable and durable for long bouts of shopping or partying allowing the owner to still look stylish and classy without wearing painful stilettos or trainers. The laces would also help enhance the fit and allow you to adjust tigher or looser for bear feet or socks. I think these would look great with a dressed down
'grunge' casual look or going out rock chick or even used as a statement piece. Here are some looks I have pieced together...




Hopefully this shows in some light that i meet the requirements of being
- A fierce fashionista?

- A bargain hunter?
- A trend trailblazer?
- A comfort lover?
- A stylish sista?
- A Rock ‘n’ roll fashion rebel?
- But above all…A SHOE ADDICT??!!

I LOVE sarenza. Fingers crossed and this is my entry :) x
What do you think? let me know ...


Miss Sporty 'Sparkle Touch'

I recently brought Miss Sporty 'Sparkle Touch' it was around £1.99 and is a dupe of a sparkly nail varnish by Rimmel for £3.99 which ive forgotten the name of sorry! I don't usually wear nail varnish unless its Barry M as its the only one that seems to last on my nails but after about 3 coats i built up some pretty good glitz with this, Its a very runny formula but the brush is really good and easy to apply! excuse the state of my nails i need a product that stops them from flaking after all the acrylics i used to have and to make them grow! the pink crackle on the ring finger is barry m by the way! This nailv arnish lasted around a week for me - bearing in mind i wash up and use my hands ALOT but its well worth a buy and the easy application makes it a good glittery essential 4/5 for me!

Is there any budget nail varnishes you'd recommend? i'd love to know ..
