MERMAID LOVING!!

[Jeans - Primark]

[Shoes - TKMAXX]

[Top - Fifty Five DSL (Diesel) ]

[Jacket - Jaded London]

FINALLY I've worn my new favourite jacket more than just once. This jacket is my abso fav in the world ever, I am in love everyday when I look at it. I managed to get one from Topshop Oxford Circus when I went last month and got it for £90 which I loved, especially when they're sold out in store! It is so sparkly and I could talk about how much I love it all day and all night, because thats how much I love this jacket <3<3<3<3<3

As for the Diesel top, I got it in my local TKMAXX for £3 RRP:£61 which I thought was a good bargain, it's an XS mans and fits just nice and snug. It also has eyelid shapes on the nips which is super cute! I am just trying to collect loads of random clothes ready for going back to uni so I can have a pretty wardrobe to be a sassy queen at uni. This look will be fab for so many occasions like both going out out and just out so reel it all in and grab some black and mermaid sequins!

NUDE

[Dress - TKMAXX - (SALE £3)]

[Bag - Primark - (SALE £1)]

[Shoes - PRIMARK - (SALE £3)]

So a full outfit for £7..  I think that pretty amazing really!

This dress from TKMAXX retailed at over £15 and was in their huge final clearance sale in my local store in Hull. The dropped hem also looks good lifted up with a belt and is gives such a smart/casual look great for both daytime and night time wear. The nude colour of the dress is also on trend at the moment which makes it all the better. I just love the fact you don't have to pay a lot of money to look nice! It's good really because at the moment I am SUPER skint (reason for all the not very colourful and out there posts) 

I really liked this dress when I saw it because I thought for the price it would be great for some nice days out and the silky material hung really nicely! It also went goes with my hair which is good because a lot of formal things I buy to go with my hair either have to be a bold colour to contrast or black (maybe white but it makes me look fatter than I am so I think about it first) So sometimes it's tricky!

So if you are looking for a bargain at the moment TKMAXX have a lot of great unique stuff in and what I like about that shop is the fact that all the shops sell different things. I don't really rate their website as much as their store though! Especially for bargains. HAPPY SHOPPING XO

GOING ALL NUDE

[Dress - Primark (£13)]

[Shoes - Primark SALE (£3)]

[Bag - Primark SALE (£1)]

Perks of working on the returns desk is being able to grab the returns before they go back on the shop floor at the reduced price (if they've gone in the sale) So these gorg mules were a right bargain at £3! Even though they were slightly too big, I had to have them for £3 it just had to be done. Also a perk is seeing what comes into the store every week/ seeing if there is anything new, like this lovely nude/beige dress. Even though I feel like I look like a bag of spuds in it, it would look lovely on a night out! It was also a little big so it had to go back. Also the material was a put off because it's ever so easily stained which are quite hard to get out so it's not my favourite but is a lovely style dress!

I thought I would do some posts with some outfits with toned down colour to show some versatility and that I'm not a one trick pony when it comes to outfits and styling! Having blue/green hair though sometimes makes it a struggle when you're trying to go for the natural/earthy/nude look as my wig is not natural, earthy or nude in the slightest! I would definitely wear this for a cute little meal out one night to somewhere nice if I was to wear it somewhere once or twice but for something to keep, I don't think it's very me! 

THANK YOU XO 

CONVERSE

[Top - Primark (SALE £2)]

[Skirt - Primark (SALE £5)]

[Belt - Primark]

[Shoes - Converse - Schuh]

[Bag - Primark (SALE £1)]

Sorry for not posting as much as I should, working at Primark 5 days a week takes up more of my time than I thought. I can't moan though, they pay for my shopping addiction! Working there also has it's up's, especially when working on the returns desk as I get to see all the returns that have gone in the sale for me to get my mits on! I got a pair of gorgeous mules for £3 reduced from £14 but unfortunately they were too big and had to get rid of them. I have a photo of them on my instagram (annahodgson) 

I've been wanting a pair of xx hi converse for so long but haven't had the spare £60 to get them from Schuh, so after traipsing depop and ebay for a few weeks I finally found some for only £27 almost brand new in box! So yeah I obviously snapped them up! Over half price for shoes that have been worn twice at most! I AM OVER THE MOON <3 

I paired them with this white denim skirt from Primark. I was excited for these to go in the sale for £5 because in Topshop it's so much more expensive.. why pay? especially when every time you save you can get something else! The nude top I've also put with it I really love because it's slightly ribbed and looks really nice. It would also go with black jeans and would look fab! And finally the £1 bag from Primark, a 3 compartment snakeskin bag that can be worn as a clutch, a handbag and a shoulder bag! How amazing is that, talk about multi - use! 

This outfit has some 70's twangs such as the skirt and the height of the shoes, not forgetting the snake skin! but with a new twist on it, possibly posh goth looking with the converse!

These shoes are as comfy as I ever thought and go with so much more than I imagined them too.  I can't wait to give them a proper go out and see what else they go with!!

ULTRABROWS

So finally I've been able to get my hands on ULTRABROWS from makeup revolution. I've been wanting this in medium to dark shade for so long, I was getting a bit desperate when I was going into Superdrug twice a week ATLEAST looking for it! I didn't get it online though because apparently  they were sending out the lighter shades because the darker one had just totally sold out. BUT luckily on a wim I found the last one in my local Superdrug the other day and it was only £6! 

Amazingly simple packaging in my eyes with a cute little diagram of what's in it on the back! All good so far! 

A cute little shiny box all sleek and new looking! (Won't stay like that for long knowing me) but still amazing to look at! And looks more expensive than £6!!!

 

So what do you get for your £6 I hear you ask... 

Well.. 4 mixable eyebrow shades, 2 eyebrow fixing waxes, a highlighter powder, a highlighting fix wax, an eyebrow pencil, 2 brushes and a pair of tweezers..

AMAZING? I KNOW RIGHT! I was just as shocked, especially when you see the standard! cheap makeup can sometimes be diluted and less pigmented than some of the more expensive brands but as this brand does more 'dupe' items the quality in my eyes is just as good as the more expensive brands for just a lower more affordable price.

My eye brows do need shaping and sorting out but I couldn't wait to use it! And I haven't applied any filters to my images so you can see what it's actually like without everyone's friend Valencia! 

Bare in mind also this is the first time I've used this new thing so I'm

Still learning where everything goes and I am not a makeup expert I just like to buy it every now and again! So from 1 learning makeup enthusiast to another I hope you one this helpful! 

I do think it's definitely worth the money as I was doing research on other brow sets because I never thought I'd get this one and for the large range of prices the sets are SO SMALL! This palette is very pigmented and the brushes work a treat, the highlighter has a pink tinge to it which looks amazing with most eyeshadows so I would definitely recommend to everyone if you want to have a practice at eyebrow techniques and not paying a fortune!

A DAY OF AA AND COLOUR

[Two Piece - American Apparel (discontinued)]

[Sunglasses - Boohoo.com]

[Shoes - Topshop (SALE)]

[Lipstick - Makeup Revolution]

I've already done a post with this outfit a while ago but it does deserve more recognition as it is an amazing piece! Bought from AA in Leeds for my 20th in April I got it just in time but they only had size larges left. Fortunately it fit me better than I thought it would and it was the last one so I had to have it! and to top it off I couldn't resist wearing my boohoo cat eye sunglasses. I literally wear them every day with everything! 

Also sporting the miley buns which match the wall in this fab colourful area of derelict land! I thought this outfit would be a bit of fun and includes the very "IN" vertical stripes to make me look taller than the small 5'6 I actually am, also helped by the platform shoes from Topshop sale £15 which I love! (especially when I get an extra 10% off because I am a student!) 

I wanted my lipstick to match my shoes so as I don't have a bag so I used a dark vamp shade makeup revolution lipstick thats £1 from superdrug which is very close to the blackness of the shoes to fill up the look! 

I will be putting this outfit on my depop as I don't have room for it anymore. So if you wish to buy my depop is @annahodgson and there is lots of stuff on there to buy!

Thanks for reading

BOHO VIBES

[Top - H&M]

[Trousers - TKMAXX]

[Bag - Camden Market]

[Jacket - Primark]

[Sunglasses Primark]

[Lipstick - MUA]

I was feeling very boho for todays post, so I thought i'd drag my flares out and a nice little plain top. These flares I got from TKMAXX in Braunschweig in Germany for about €5 but they do also sell them in our TKMAXX for £5-£7 which I think is a great price even if you only get 4-5 wears out of them. They're high waisted and SUPER comfy I could sleep every night in them! 

My top is from H&M and is just a casual basic cropped cami top, was about £3 last summer, it is a bit small for me now as i've put the most weight on but for photographs it did perfectly. I didn't really want a busy/patterned top as I have this gorgeous tassle sleeveless jacket thing which was only £3 from primark! (most of my wardrobe is as i work there!) The cream/white of the top contrasts with the black/grey of the bottoms which I really like and then to add a bit of colour I have my trust camden boho bag! 

Ever in need of summer items, Camden is my place to go. I JUST LOVE! I am taking a trip there this weekend so I will try and so a short post about my time there and where I visit/what I buy! As everyone knows I will come back with a train full! but back to the bag.. It's so hard wearing and can carry a tonne, i'm sure it was about £3.99 I've never had a problem with it and i've had it for years! 

I also have in these photos my favourite Topshop shoes which have been mentioned on a few posts now if you want to read more about them and how I wear them day-to-day!
