Cheshire Cat Craziness

Next weekend, I am going on a Hen Night out, which has the theme Alice in Wonderland and

 we will be drinking cocktails out of teapots and all sorts of madness!

I haven't done dress up for a very long time, and my initial thoughts would be that I would go as

 the Queen of Hearts, however, I discovered the bride-to-be's sister (also my chum!) is going as that and so I decided against it.  Bad taste going as the same thing as the Bride or her sister! 

I then thought about what really made the (Disney) movie for me all those years ago and it just

 had to be the Cheshire Cat!

And so here is what I have got to help me achieve this look...

This is where places like ebay and amazon are extremely useful, you can get items for really cheap which is great as I can't see me needing purple cat ears all too often!  My one bugbear is that when it is personal sellers, they can sometimes charge too much for postage, each to their own I suppose but it can be a little unfair.

Are you dressing up for Halloween?

Do you use eBay or Amazon for fancy dress purchasing?

Pre-birthday shopping spree! Part 2...

And then there was more...

I only bought a trio of items from Oasis but they were all on sale so that's acceptable, right?!

First up is this animal print dipped hem top, which is unfortunately no longer on their website.  I was in two minds as to whether I should keep this as the material at the front doesn't feel quite right across the bust, but I am slowly trying to lose a wee bit of weight and perhaps it might sit a bit better - I should point out, I want to lose weight for my health, not aesthetics! I stopped smoking over a year ago and have indulged in too much chocolate since!

I had my eye on this rainbow yarn tee for a while but couldn't justify £18 or so just for a top, this was down to £10 in the sale.  They also had it with blue stripes and I was a bit torn which to choose but coral suits my colourings better.

Lastly, was this dress I bought for my friends wedding.  It is a fluoro floral fit 'n' flare (trying saying that after a few celebratory champers!).  Honey is hiding the fact that it is a v-neck and the thing I loved the most is that, because it has so many different colours on it, it gives you great choice when it comes to choosing accessories! 

That was my relatively modest Oasis spree, do you like?

Have you bought anything nice for yourself  lately?

Pre-birthday shopping spree! Part 1...

It was my birthday a few weeks ago and I always get the urge to splurge just before it so it was the prefect opportunity to browse the sales.  First up was Asos...

Boyfriend t-shirt - I got this from the maternity range as I couldn't get the colour I wanted in the normal range. These tee's are great for slobbing about with legging or with skinny jeans and pumps.

Raglan colour block t-shirt - I thought the grey and purple were a nice combo.

Cream Westie bag - this also comes in a bright tomato red.

New look inspire nerdy cat tee - Unfortunately I can't find this anymore.  This wasn't available in my size but it has a cat in glasses on it and so I had to have it! I bought it two sizes bigger.  Worryingly, it fits well so either I am deluding myself or it isn't up to plus size scratch!

And Mary Swallow ring - this was quite small and I have since sent it back, it didn't look quite as pretty as it did in the pictures.
Horse Detail purse - I am really bad at picking purses and have been after a new one for ages.  This one is big enough for all my cards etc whilst still being a bit quirky. This is now out of stock :-(
Owl Bracelet - Possibly my favourite thing, it is a dainty wee thing and adds a touch of charm to almost any outfit. Again, this is now out of stock but this is the sort of thing you can pick up similar styles of on ebay.

What do you reckon, not bad for a mini splurge?!

Have you ever shopped on asos?
