West Quays and Temptation!

Today, as you may of read in my Tuesday outfit post, that I went to West Quay's in Southampton! (See my Outfit and Look of the Day Here). I live near Portsmouth, so it was about a 40 minute journey in the car. The weather was horrible, cloudy and wet, which was why we went to West Quay, as opposed to Chichester!
The first thing I saw when I got there was the newish Ikea. It was HUUGGGEEEEEEE. My photo holds it no justice!

This was about 1pm, SO GRIM

So big and blue and BIG. Did I mention it was big? I've only ever been to an Ikea once. I haven't gone in this one yet, but good god do I want too!!
Once we were parked up, we decided to get lunch first, to build up the energy to shop!! I immediately spotted Yo!Sushi and grabbed (my mum paid for) a Yo!To Go Fish Roll box and an orange juice:

You can just see my Cath Kidston phone case, I will tell you about that later in the week. But omg the sushi was noiiiice. I am not sure what the fish was, one was definitely crab sticks, but the other I wasn't sure. Think it was Tuna? What ever it was, it was so nice!! My mum just got a McDonalds and a cuppa. I kept the mini bottle of soy sauce, I always do ;D
We hit the shops, the first shop being Dorothy Perkins, because my mum had seen some shoes in another Dorothy Perkins and wanted to see if this store had them in her size. I decided to see if they had any closed toe wedges, preferably lace up ones. AND LO AND BEHOLD:

Oh £42 of beigey lace upy wedgey goodness, why must I find you, March is not till next month! SO I MUST RESIST. Thats right ladies and gentlemen. I HAVE NOT BOUGHT THEM. Yet. Frugal February shall be till the end!
We browsed Next, where I made my mum try on a dress she was dubious about, but looked really nice on. Then she bought it and the matching jacket and another jacket and skirt set (she has a lot of interviews and training presentations to present. She needs suits) which she said she wouldn't of even tried on if I wasn't there to encourage her. Just call me Gok Wan kekekekeke. I did see some lovely things in H&M and New Look, especially a really pretty summer bag I have my eye on, this one. I WANT IT SO BAD. But I must once again wait, wait till March.

From the top floor of West Quay's, before we began shopping. I swear they put the food on the top floor so you work up an appetite as you make your way up!
Towards the end of the trip, I spied Millies Cookies, then Dream Cupcakes. I went for the cupcake!

I'd already taked off most of the icing to eat by the time I remembered a photo! It was a Tutti Frutti Cupcake, blueberry frosting and multi-coloured vanilla sponge. It was so petty inside!

Look how bright the colours are!!!

So I went shopping, but resisted buying temptation!! My mum bought me the cupcake ;D And it is Tea and Cake Tuesday, so I wasn't naughty for having the cupcake either! Woo hoo! Hopefully I can get those things I wanted, in March! Especially those shoes!!

Friday Fun ~ Sunday Haul

Hello bloggers!! Long time no blog!! Well all is back on schedule today!! But more of that later I think ;D
I haven't been up to much apart from Friday and yesterday, since I got back from my boyfriends Thursday, moped most of Friday and just stayed in all Saturday!!
Friday evening me and my dad went to a family party to celebrate my Godfathers grandsons 4th birthday! He looked so cute in his little Buzz Lightyear outfit but I forgot to take a photo!! *shot*

This is my wonderful not scary friend, Lou :D

My dad and my Godfather have been friends for years and years, but my Godfather lives near Dubai for work at the moment so when they get together they hang out and act like kids!! For example, my Godfather threw some shoes at me haha!! And when I went outside I found them playing with glow sticks...

Godfather looking at me, Dad closest to me.

This was right before they threw them at me!! I am so abused T_T
I dressed in a blue summer dress but I forgot to take a picture d'oh!! But I took a silly picture of me so you can kinda see my blue sparkly make up!

Neeerr

Half way through the night, Lou decided to fall on the floor and the kids (and the bigger kids) jumped on her!!

After most of them got off!!

Ahhh I kinda did get Archie in his Buzz Lightyear outfit after all haha!! Lou was just giggling all through it and so was Archie!! You can see the feet of Brooke in the left shes so cute!! Luckily she was wearing clothes here, when we first got there, she promptly took off her Spanish dress!!
We wore the kids out after Kurt kept running around the house being chased by them and we played balloon catching with them. They fell asleep on a blow up bed people blew up for them.

Awwww

So cute!! We soon left after that and went to bed!
As I said Saturday was boring and I just stayed in all day!!
Sunday, my mum booked a personal shopper and we went to Debenhams!! I love that shop but it can be a bit out of my price range, so I was lucky my mum was with me this time!! Here is what I wore:

Yumi dress, M&S Cardy

 We sat in this little room with its own changing room and free tea, coffee or water!! I chose water as they had no green tea, my mum had a cup of tea. They are getting a suite specially for the personal shoppers soon but its just a building site at the moment!!

Three mirrors on the right wall, the changing room through the door!

Once we told her what we like, she went out for 15 minutes and bought a rail in of amazing clothes!! I was a bit dissapointed she bought in some lovely clothes for me but the style what they are, they didn't fit over my hips!! I am small on top and big on the bottom and she didn't seem to realise that!! But she was very good for my mum!!

Big rail of clothes!

My mum eventually picked out three dresses, two for her holiday to South Africa and one for a party!! I got a photo but it fuzzed a little cause my mum moved!!

I love the detail on it!!

Now all was not at a loss for me!! When we first came in, she had a maxi dress over the hooks from a previous shopper which I loved the look off!! I tried one on and it looked really nice and the Personal Shopper found a great belt to go with it!!

Love that print!!

belt to toughen up girly outfits a bit!!

And my now prize possession which I ADORE and fell in love with as soon as I saw it. A dark purple satchel bag. OMG I LOVE IT

My pretty baby

This bag is going to be looked after like no bag before it!! I want to keep it for ever and ever!! Its so lovely and soft fake leather and metal detail on the straps and the clasp and it has two pockets inside with a inner zipper pocket on one of them and a place to put my phone!! Ahhh I love it so much!!

Lovely colour too!!

Now after a lovely shop, I relaxed the rest of the day!! I decided to paint my nails in GOSH's Holographic!! I love the colour!!

Little flower detail

Look how pretty it is in the light!!

That sums it up for the past couple of days!! Today I start college again so I will probably take photos today!! And I go back home tonight so I might be able to update my blog tonight!! If not, I will see you tomorrow morning girls and boys ;D

Late Haul post

But first FREEDOOOOM!!! College is finally over (finished on Thursday) and I am free till mid September!! I should really look for a job, but I think its going to be time to spend with my boyfriend/friends instead D: I will still try and look for a job though, no fun being poor!!

On the other hand though, if I did have a job and had the money I might not of gone into charity shops! I know some people turn their nose up at other peoples offerings, but in a world with ebay and charity stores and clothes swaps, and of course, recession, I don't think we can afford to be too fussy any more!!

Last Saturday, I went shopping round North End in Portsmouth, where we have little charity shops, a Peacocks, a Superdrugs ect. Just perfect for a quick shop to push down the shopping obsession for another week!

Here is what I bought:

From Peacocks:

This pretty white dress for £10.80 with a student discount (originally £12)

From the British Heart Foundation:

A chinese print bag with a little zipper pocket on the inside for £2.99

A little blue one too! £1.40

And these cute wedges for £2.99!! I love them, and they are comfy too!

From Age Concern Uk

This cute 50's style cardigan!! I love it, it reminds me of the Pink Ladies, from Grease! £3.99!

And finally bought two Gosh nail varnishes for £8. I bought two of the same one, one for me, one for my friend!!

Its 549 Holographic!! Its such a gorgeous colour, silver with a rainbow shine (can't see it so much in the picture) Will do a mini review once I have done my nails properly tomorrow!

I hope everyone in England is enjoying the lovely warm weather and the sunshine!! And that everyone else in the world is enjoying their day!!

Thats all for now ~<3
